How to Obtain High Health.

Walker, in his Original" lays down the following rules for attaining high health. They are worth remem- bering:
 First-Sludy to acquire a compos- ure of mind and body. Avoid agita- tion or hurry of one or the other, especially just before and after meals, and whilst the process of digestion is going on. To this end govern your temper, endeavor to look at the bright side of things, keer down, as much as possible, the unru1y passions discard envy. hatred and malice, and lay your head upon your pillow in charity with all mankind. Let not your wants outlun your means. Whatever difficultis you have to encounter, be not perplexed, but only think what is right to do in the sight of Him who seeth all things, and bear without repining the result When your meals are solitary let your thoughts be cheerful; when they are social, which is better, avoid disputes or serious arguments on unpleasant topics. "Unqaiet meals, says Shake speare, "makes i'll digestions, and the contrary is produced by easy con versation, a pleasant subject, welcome news or lively companion. l advise wives not to entertain their husbands with domestic grievances about child ren or servants, not to ask for meney, or produce unpaid bills, nor propound unreasonable questions; and I advise husbands to keep the cares and vexa- tions of the world to themselves, and to be communicative of whatever is comforting, and cheerful and amusing.

The Flag of M0hammed.

The flag of the prophet, which tele- grams have reported the porte has been requested by the British minister not to raise, is the religious banner of Mohammedanism, and is supposed to have come down from the great a prophet and soldier himself. It is plain black flag, and is preserved in chapel inside the sultan's seraglio, swathed in forty wrappings of silk and guarded by priests, who preserve constant watch. Tradition tells that the original flag of Mohammed was made from the white silk of the tur- ban belonging to the chief of the Kor- fish, one of the first tribe which he vanquished. He soon substituted the black flag, however, making it from the curtains which hung in front of the door of his favorite wife, and this is the sacred relic, which, passing from Mohammed to Omar, the second caliph of the Moslems, after many changes of hands came into possession of the sul- tan of Turkey. It was brought into Europe by sultan Amurath III. about the close of the sixteenth century, and has been religiously guarded by his successors ever since. The national flag of Turkey is red with white star and,crescent, but when the black flag is unfurled the sultan appears, not as temporal but as religious ruler, and the commander of the faithful has millions of Mohammedan followers whs will rally under the black flag of the prophet, but acknowledge no al- legiance to the red flag of Turkey The identical flag used by Mohammed is said not to be used on these occa. sions, but one exactly like it which the people believe is the real one and 1t arouses the same fanatical zeal,

BIue-GIaSS.

The Popular Science Monthly having
 beeen asked what it thinks of Pleason- ton and the blue-glass cure, replies:
 "Well, we think that the man is pe,tilent ignoramus, and his book the ghastliest rubbish that has been printed
 in hundred years. He may be en- tirely honest, but that is no reason why
 we should give attention to his egre- gious folly. Pleasonton, however, it
 must be confessed, serves one impor. tant function: He gauges for us the depth and density of American stupi. dity. De Morgan says, somewhere, that certain men appear occasionally to play the rart of the foolometers in the community, that is, to measure the number and quality of the fools furnished by any given state of society. Pleasonton has done this for us with an accuracy that leaves nothing to be desired. Our showing in this respect is on very handsome scale, fully com mensurate with the length of the Mis- sissippi, the sweep of the prairies, the glory of the centennial exhibition, the grandeur of the national debt, and the splendid proportions of our system of education. lie is public benefactor, in that he has given us another big thing. The interesting point just now about 'blue-glass' is psychological. It is an exponent of popular imtelli> gence, an index of culture, a register of common.school work, and test of tho influence of colleges. Our col lective schools produce in the commu- nity certain state of mind blue glass indicates it. There is evidently a very close connection here, and the problem deserves to be worked out"

A Clever Dag0 Swindle.

The commission investigating Gus. tom-house affairs has already asked q few questions which indicate that the members have some information rela. tive to a scheme for smuggling cigars, which, it is understood, has been suc- oessfully carried on for several months past in this port. The great number of seizures of cigars on steamers com. ing from Cuban ports has attracted the attention of the authorities at Washington, and some investigation of the "cigar ring" which is supposed to carry on these operations will un. doubtedly be made.
 The system as explained by persons familiar with the cigar trade, and es- pecially with the importation of cigars from Cuba is about as follows: Havana cigars of the kind usually shipped 10 this port are worth about sl0 hundred in Cuba. The duty is nearly as much, being sS a hundred, so that Havana cigars costing 10 cents in Cuba really costs IS cents, plus the freight and commissions,

Butter Made from Oxen.

At a recent meeting of the Scottish Society of Arts, Dr. Maccadam read paper on butterine from oxen, in which he claimed tbat it was quite as pure as butter. He said the original or raw material now used was the best OK suet, which was taken in a thor oughly fresh state. and the membran- ous parts being cut away, was gently heated in steam pan until the finer and purer parts of the fat was liquefed. This was then run off, and while still warm, was skinned repeatedly, and thereafter allowed to cook. The semi solid fat thus obtained was pressed through bags for further purification, after which it was churned with some milk, and kneaded and salted in the usual way. In chemical properties, the butterine which was thus obtained, was almost identical with ordinary but. ter, the only difference being few per cent. of volatile fatty acids form ing butyrine in the true butter. Fully 90 per cent. of both butter and but. terine consisted of the more liquid fats, which were common to both; in fact, the butter was practically the animal lat which the COW had passed through the udder in the milk, from which it was manufactured, and the butterine was the finer part of the animal fat, which the OK had stored up in the suet from which it was manufactured.

BY JESSIE GORDON.

Only a secd-but it chanced to fall n a little cleft in the city wall And taking root, grew bravely up, Tll tiny blossom crowned it's top. Only a flower but it chanced that day That burdened heart passed by that way And the messenger that through the mower
 was sent, Drought the weary soul a sweet content For it spake of the lilies so wond'ronsly
 clad ,~ And the cart that was tired grew strange'y
 glad u At the thought of tender care over all, That noted even a sparrow'sssil. Only A thought--put the work it wrought Could never by tongue or pen be taught; ], For it ran through life, like thread oi

A Romance of the Pruth.

We hear great deal about the
 river Pruth in these days, and shall
 hear more of it when the Russians be.
 gin to cross over it into Roumania.
 My attention has been called to TO-
 nance connected with it, just published
 in a Bucharest journal. In the month of January last a peasant living upon
 the Pruth started for the market town
 with his sledge, having with him his wife and four children. In the alter noon the party was pursued by pack of wolves. The horse was put into a galop at once, but was to heavily weighted to do much running, and the beasts were soon tapping their jaws within a few paces of the party. See ing that escape by flight was out of the question, the father seized one of his children and threw it out to the pack. The poor victim was soon de- voured, and before the sledge had gone half mile the wolves were again upon it. Another child was sacrificed, and then another and the fourth and last had just been thrown out when relief came in sight. In her despair the mother went to the author ities and denounced her husband as an assassin. He was arrested, kept two months in prison, and brought up for trial last week. There was great excitement in the court when he re. lated the story of the shocking sacri. flee. The judges said at the end that if he had not resigned himself to be he would have lost his children all the same, and with them his wife and his ,wn life. He was acquitted. -N r. Times Cor.

THE Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin has this about ants: "A singular phenom- snon has been observed every spring in the Collins Company's tempering- shop at Collinsville, Hartford county. On the early warm days many thou sand small winged ants would emerge from the crevices in the chestnut plank flo ring and fly rapidly to the nearest light, and as rapidly divest themselves oftheir wings. On Monday morning, April 23, many thousands of them swarmed out for some hours, leaving the floor for twenty square feet whitened with their wings. This exodus of ants from the same locality has not failed for nearly ten years.'

Spring Fever How Not to Have it.

OYAA AAu6 E0voA AV" Asvo " ~
 In the Christian Union . writer gives the symptoms and several rem edies for very common complaint, prevalent with almost every one to a greater or less extent at this season of the year: The hampered body, says the writer, which has been cod dled, petted, stuffed with carbon-bear- ing fat, and calori6ed in every possible way, begins to protest. The machinery is clogged; headache, dyspepsia, and the thousand nameless sensations of discomfort which we charge to variable weather, afflict and hamper poor humanity. To-day the fog depresses our vital force. tomorrow the brain is
 pierced with binding sunshaft; and so each days external is made respon- sible for internal shortcoming. The literateur, in atrabilieus humor, affiicts the world with morbid philosophy. The psster seee weak humanity more than ever sinful, and his Lenten hos miles are unconciously tintured with a deeper dye for the bangs of his own
 mortality. The housewife, in over heated rooms, with a monotone of cir cumscribe care and too little outside diversion, finds dirt and despair iD fhe kitchen, chaos in the nursery, a fo0lorn
 hope in her mending-basket.' Among other remedies for people who say. "I always have a bilious attack in the spring." the following seems the most
 potent: On rising, sponge the body | lightly and quickly with cold water,
 briskly toweling after. It is not neces. { sary that this be long or laborioua
 operation the more rapidly the better,
 with sufficient friction to bring glow
 to the skin. If you cannot secure

before reaching this city. Here they come in competition with cigars m1usfactured in this country, but represented to be Havana cigars, can be proftably sold at 20 cents. Of course there is no profit on a genuine Havana cigar at 20 cents. In order to get g 10-cent Havana cigar in this port at price which will jus tify its sale at 20 cents, the Havana merchant sends a large quantity, say 10000, by a steamer, without naming the consignee for whom they are in tended. In fact, they are shipped to nobody in particular, and the steam ship company is left in ignorance as to where they are to be delivered. In the meantime, the exporter at Havana has given notice to his agent in this city of the fact of the shipment. This agent gees to Q special agent of the government and promises to lodge with him information of smuggling operation in cigars, provided he is gwen HE cHuTc Ol tuc OU pcI CCuV' moiety to which the informer is enti. tied. This special agent agrees, and the cigars are seized. They are thus landed in this city at cost oi five cents, plus the freight charges, but are in the hands of the govern ment, and must be sold to pay the duties. They are sent to an auction store and sold, and bought in, wher the amount bid is sufficient to pay the duties of $8 hundred, by the mar who gave the information, and thu reach the hands of the person fol whom they were intended at COS. % only 13 cents and freight charges. l

SELECT MISCELLANY.
1.-THE WORTHY POOR
BY MARY MATES DODGE.

 A dog of morals, rm and sure, ., Went out to seek the worthy poor, Dear tbingsi" she said, "Pll hnd them And end their woes, without doubt" She wandered east, she wandered west, And many dogs her vision blest,- Some .well-to-do, some rich indeed, And some-ah very much in need. So poor they were l-without bone. Battered and footsore, sad and lone; No friends, no help. "What lives they've
 led,
 To come to this !" our doggie said. "I ought not to give to them; Pm sure They can not be the worthy poor. They must have fought or been disgraced; My charity must be well placed" Some dogs she found, quite to her mind; So thrifty they--so sleek and kind "Ah mel" she said, "were they in need, To help them would be joy indeed" Twas still the same, day in, day out,- The poorest dogs were poor, no doubt; But they were neither clean or wise, As she could see with half her eyes. His strange what faultS come out to SleW When folks are poor. She said: 'Tis true They need some help but as for me, must not waste my charity" So home she went and dropped tear, "Pve done my duty, that is clear; Eve searched and searched the village
 round,
 And not one worthy poor Pve found." And all this while, the sick and lame And hungry suffered all the same. They were n ot pleasant, were not neat But she had more than she could eat And don't you think it was a sin Was hers the right way to begin No, no Lit was not right, Pm sure, For she was rich and they were poor. ye who have enough to spare To suffering give your ready care Waste not your charitable mood Only in sitting out the good. For on the whole, though it is right To keep the "worthy poor" in sight, This world would run with scarce hitch If all could find the worthy rich
