it really belongs to actions which de-

1t really belongs to actions which de- serve much better names.
 1 have heard the name "chivalrous" applied to such deeds as that of Sir Philip Sidney when he bade his friends give the water to the other man rather than to himself. But this was not chiv- airy; it was something much better Christian self-denial. Nor was any chivalry in such an act as that which, in different forms, is told of David, Alex ander, and several other captains, how they refused to drink water or enjoy some other lnxury which their men could not share with them. Such an act might spring from a mere generous impulse; it might spring from a noble and far seeing policy or from some compound motive In which those two elements are inextricably mixed to- gether. But there is nothing in it of cbivalIy nothing of the fantastic class feeling to which that name really be- longs. .a"-.
 Chivalry is not the virtue of the sol dier; it is not thevirtue of the general. It is the fantasy of 8 class of men, of a class of soldiers, who are led by 1t to do things which are no part of their duties, either as. men or as soldiers. The knight who was killed by the butcher may have had it written on his tomb that he carried out the character of man of honor to the last Compare this with the true standard of military virtue. On the tomb of the three hun dred at Thermopyl8 it was not written that they had done anything as men of honor. It was written that they lay there in obedience to the laws of Sparta. The standard of chivalry, then, the standard of honor, the standard of the knight and gentleman, is not only at it's best very imperfect, but it is apt to run into vagaries which have no ground either in law and morals or in common sense. But more than this, it is apt to become positively wicked. Asa purely class-feeling, prescribing at it's best only those virtues which are thought becoming in an exclusive class, it na- turally led to utter recklessness toward all who did not belong to that class. The contempt of the gentleman for the roturier, his recklessness of the rights of the rOtuter where the natural off spring of the chivalrous standard | FOrtniohtlv ReUie,D.

TO A PAIR OF OLD BOOTS.

fe two companions of my wiutry way, Oft have VIC trudged it many tedious mile Through slop, and miro and mud and cling
 ing clay,
 And paced along with true pedestrian toll. Now, sore against my will, we part at length, For ye arc both grown old, and both worr out; Your tough tanned bodies have resigned theil strength,
 And water pierce your soIes that once were stout. What boots it now that you were boots of yore So neatly shining, supple. smooth and black No patent lustre can your gloss restore, No eobbler can recall your value back. So man shall fail, and all his works to boot, Nor art nor medicine decrepitude recruit.

Petroleum as Hair-On

Persons afflicted with badness will be glad to hear that a luxurious growth of hair may be produced by very sim pie process, described by, a British consul at Russian port, in his com mercial report. In the summer of 1875 hiss attention was drawn to several cases of badness among bullocks, COWS, and oxen, and the loss of names ard tails among horses. A former servant of the consul's, prematurely bald, whose duty it was to trim lamps, had a habit of wiping his petroleum-besmeared three months of lamp-trimming eXper- fence, his habit procured for him a much finer head of glossy black hair than he ever possessed before.. Struck by this remarkable occurrence, the con- sul tried the remedy on two retriever spaniels that had become suddenly bald, with wonderful success. His eXperi- ence, therefore, induced him to suggest to the owner of several black cattle and horses affected as above stated, and, while it, stayed the spread of disease among the animals in the same sheds and stables. it affected quick and radical cure on the animals attacked. The petroleum should be of the finest American quality, rubbed in vigorously and quickly with the palm of the hand. and applied at intervals of three days, six or seven times in all, except in the case of horses tails and manes, when more applications may be requisite.

-----s~>B-.- Chinese Barber Shops.

The Chinese barber shops in San Francisco are more numerous than
 those of any other calling. On Dupont street, between Sacramento and Clay streets, there are not less than fifty
 basements devoted to tonsorial opera tions. At first blush, the wonder arises why so many of those establishments needed, but stand in the streets in the quarter and glance at the head of each passing ,Chinaman and the mystery is dispelled. Among them no toilet is considered complete which does not in- volve a shaving of a greater portion of the head, and neck, thorough cleans ing of the eyes, ears and nostrils, and even q trimming and penciling of the eyebrows and lashes. Razors, probes and lances of peculiar construction are among the instruments used by these skilful artists. The process of shaving and cleaning is necessarily long one, and when Chinaman emerges from one of these shops he may be safely counted as thoroughly clean-above the shoulders. The combing and braiding of cues consumes no little time., Every Chinaman of adult years regards an occasional tonsorial experience as a sacred duty. The closely-shaven head must be scraped over often to preserve the appearance so much desired, and all this, in a place so populous as the "quarter'' in this city, requires the constant service of numerous force. All the barber shops of the Chinese have a peculiar sign at the doorway in- dicative of the occupation. It is a four legged frame, the legs painted green and the top knobs red. .u

BRoILED SALT MACKEREL.-(In soak ing all kinds of salt fish, put it into a large pan or dish of water, with the skin up, else the salt. which of its own weight naturally sinks to the bottom, will settle in the skin and the fish not be freshened at alp Soak mackerel over night, soith the skin up. In the morning take from the water, dry care fully, trim off head, fins and tail, cut the fish in half, aud rub off the skin witE coarse towel. Be careful not to break the fish. Rub the bars of the gridiron with little whiting, and the fish will not stick to them. Prepare the butter sauce before putting the fish over the fire; and just as you are ready to broil it throw handful of salt over the coals to moderate the fire, and also to prevent the disagreeable smoke or gas that would otherwise arise from it, which is very unhealthy. Watch the fish while broiling, that it may not scorch.

Physical Culture.

Life, growth, health, and strength, are impossible without physical culture. Without health and strength of body the mind can be but partially expan- ded. Activity and vigor of intellect, and acuteness of moral perception de- pend upon healthy brains, supplied with pure blood. .s-t .'. .... -..
 AS the perfection of a function de- pends upon the vigorous action of it's organs, so the integrity and capacity of the entire man. physical, intellectual, and moral, are based upon the entire organism.
 Hippocrates, the founder of medicine, makes health depend upon temperance and exercise. Exercise has been found an invaluable agency, also, in curing as we'll as preventing diseases. And many contrivances and expedients have been devised and prescribed for secur- ing it's benefits. Yet exercise, and the laws of hea.th, have been so woefully neglected, that it is quite impossible to find. among all the walks of men, one physically perfect man. . No one questions of importance of food, drink, sleep, at regular and ire quent intervals, and of given quantity and quality, as indispensable requisites of life, health, and happiness. Yet, while systematic exercise is no less es- sential, few consider it of sufficient consequence to require the adoption of regular habits for securing it. Though no one would think it possible to go without food, drink, or sleep. even for day, with impunity, the majority of people treat exercise as if it could be dispensed with without injury, scarce ly ever taking it from any sense of ne- cessity, but only as an incidental mat ter, as business, pleasure, or inclination may prompt. Hence, as business does not call for physical work OR Sundays, the usual exercise on these days is omitted, causing Sunday headaches , "blue Mondays" sluggish circulation. dyspepsia, and general Arrangement Whereas, some sort of physical exercise should be taken as often, and with the same regularity as food and sleep. Ii should not be neglected on Sunday, or any other day, and cannot be, without more or less disturbing the whole phys lcal apparatus, by checking the func. tional work of all the organs; upon tht free action of which depend health o1 body, activity of mind, and cheerful ness of spirit.
 Among those who most need regular habits, and suitable means of exercise are teachers and students, because their pursuits are sedentary; and theil work being mental. specially requires pure blood and plenty of it; and 1T many cases their organisms are still il : growing and undeveloped state Hence, all students, who have not fully attained their physical stature, especi ally need daily, regular, and systema . tic exercise.

CLEAN FURs.-Strip the fur articles of their stufffng and binding, and lay them as much as possible in flat posi- tiOn. They must then be submitted to a very brisk brushing, with a stiff clothesbrush; after this, any moth-eaten
 parts must be cut out, and be neatly re- placed by new bits of fur to match. Sable, chinchilla, squirrel, fitch, etc., should be treated as follows: Warm a quantity of new bran in a pan, taking care that it does not burn, to prevent which it must be actively stirred. When well warmed, rub it thoroughly into the fur with the hand. Repeat this two or three times; then shake the fur, and give it another sharp brushing until free from dust. White furs, ermine, etc., may be cleaned as follows: Lay the fur on the table, and rub it well with bran made moist with warm water; rub until quite dry, and after wards with dry bran. The wet bran should Le put on with flannel, and the dry with a piece of book-muSlin. The light furs in addition to the above should be rubbed with magnesia, or a piece of book-muslin, after the bran process. Furs are much improved by stretching, which may be managed as follows; to a pint of soft water add three ounces of salt; dissolve; with this solution sponge the inside of the skin (taking care not to wet the fur), until it becomes thoroughly saturated |; then lay it carefully on board with the fur side down-warts, in its natural disposition then stretch as much as it will bear to the required shape, and fasten with small tacks. The drying may be quickened by placing the skin little distance from the fire or stove

An Eastern Treasure.ROOm.


 The apartment in the Persian seraglio which is the object of curiosity is the treasure-room. I suppose it is the rich est in the world in gems it is certainly a most wearisome place, and gave me a contempt for earthly treasure. In the centre stands the Persian throne-a chair upon broad platform, and both in crusted with rubies. pearls, emeralds, diamonds; there are toilet tables cover ed to the feet with diamonds. pipe stems glistening with huge diamonds, old ar nor thickly set with precious stones, saddle cloths, and stirrups stiff with diamonds and emeralds, robes embroi- dered with pearls. Nothing is so cheap as wealth lavished in this manner; at first we are daZzled by the flashing dis plays, but after a time these heaps of gems seemed as common in our eyes as pebbles in the street. I did not even covet an emerald as large as my fist, nor a sword-hilt in which were fifteen dia- monds, each as large as the end of my thumb nor a carpet sown with pearls, some of which were of the size of pig cons eggs; nor aigrettes, which were blazing with internal fires, nor chairs of state, clocks and vases. the whole surfaces of which were on fire with jewels. 1 have seen an old oaken table carved in the fifteenth century, which gave me more pleasure than oue of lapis laZuli, which is exhibited as the most costly article in the collection; though it is inlaid with precious stones, and the pillars that support the mirror arc set with diamonds, and the legs and claws are a mass of diamonds, rubies carbun cles, emeralds, topazes, etc., and huge diamond pendants ornament it. and the deep fringe in front is alto. gether diamonds. This is but a barba- rOus, ostentatious and tasteless use of the beautiful, and suppose gives one an idea of the inartistic magniticence o1 the Oriental courts in centuries gone by.

NEW CURE FOR WoUNDs.-As soon as a wound is inflicted get little stick-a knife or file-handle will do-and com mence to tap gently on the wound. Do not stop for the hurt but continue until it blecds freely and becomes perfectly numb. When this point is reached you are safe-all that is then necessary is to protect it from dirt. Do not stop short of the bleeding and numbness and do not on any account close the opening with plaster. Nothing more than a little simple cerate on a clean cloth is neces- sary. We have used and seen this used on all kinds of simple punctures for thirty years and never knew a single instance of a wound becoming intlamed or sore after treatment as above. Among other cases: A coal-raketooth going entirely through the foot, a rusty darn ing needle through the foot, a bad bite by a sucking pig, several instances of file shanks through the hands and num- berless cases of rusty nails, awls, etc., but we never knew a failure of this treatment.-Scjentfc Ameucan.
