The disuse of quicksilver mirrors will
be regarded as great sanitary advan-
tage. Ordinarily, mirrors have been
coated with tin foil amalgamated with
mercury; this mercury gradually evap
crates into the atmosphere of the room,
and must be received in in6nitesimal
quantities into the system, and not with
out injury-at least, it is known that
the workmen who are engaged in the
manufacture of such mirrors, suffer Sc
yerely from the effects of the mercury.
In coating mirrors with pure silver, the
metallic substance is first precipitated
upon them-a coat of ! 400, ,000th of an
inch being sufficient. Metallic copper
is then precipitated on this to strengthen
it, and varnish is applied to preserve the
copper from oxidation.
Lord Shaftsbury's 3 estate for working
mems dwellings comprises 40 acres of
freehold land in the parish of St. Mary,
Battersea, at Lavender Hill, near Clap
ham Junction Station, London. No
public houses are permitted within the
precincts of SALISBURY Park, but there
is an abundance of shops for the sale oi
: refreshments and other commodities oi
like nature. The park is laid out in
handsome streets. At the edges of the
footways rows of young trees have beer
: planted, and in front of each house is {
small and neatly kept garden. Th'
houses are built in four classes, contain

g bath room. The houses can be takeI

NEWFOUNDLAND Docs - Few people
know that there are hardly twenty genuine
Newfoundland dogs in the United States.
The name and breed are 50 popular and
familiar that to all but an extremely small
minority the assertion wiz appear absurd.
Nevertheless it is strictly correct. The
thoroughbred New Foundland has been
gradually losing his identity through mis-
cegenatiOn. The secret CT his fast ap-
proaehing extinction not being more easily
observed, lies IN the fact that after a
mixture of breed betWeena Newfoundland
and any other species, more of the form
and characteristics of the latter descend to
the offspring than occur IN any other IN
stance of breeding among dogs. On
this account animals that have hardly two
thirds of the genuine breed in them, and
which are really fine specimens, are fire.
quently boasted of as splendid Newfound-
land dogs. If he be still living, an old
man known as q Bait Sullivan, IN the
Island from which the dog derives its
name, is the last surviving preserver OF
theunmixcd breed Of Newfoundlanddogs.
Several years ago the writer last saw hm,
and then the old man was master Of the

Hydrophobia Is unknown among the Pnre

He strangely nurtured the prejudice Of
never selling a male and female to one
purchaser.

LESS VIGOROUS THAN THEIR FArHE

LESS VIGORoUS THAN THEIR fATHERS-
A New Hampshire correspondent OF
the Manchester Mirror expresses MS views
on the deserted farm question thus blunt-
ly; = If farms have run down, the peo-
pie who occupy them are long way
ahead of the race. We have got on our
farm to-day a class of people who can
cipher through the algebra, play the piano,
and boast OF aqnaintance with fine arts,
but they can't work They have got fine
minds but their bodies are slcaly, puny
and weak. To talk the matter plainly,
we have bred the bone and muscle out OF
our families until we have got kind of
human Jerseys, fine boned uild-eyed, nice
TO look at, and pet, and put on exhibition,
but so tender and weak that they are TT
neither for our climate, our work or our
circumstances. Our fathers worked L TO
Il hours a day ana never thought OF get
ting tired. We are used up when we
have worked four hours. Our mothers
made butter and cheese, fed the pigs and
chickens, did the milking, raised dozen
children, made the clothing Tor the fani-
| ", and when the shower was coming gould
rake or load hay. Our wives want a
maid TO tend the baby, another 20 do the
house work, a boy to do the chores, and
if We keep more than one COW cheese
factory to prevent the milk from sPoilInS.
1t is safe to say that ten farmers wives to-
day cannot do as mich hard work as
would Two 80 years ago. As farming
people we are played out II the young
New Hampshire farmer who wants a sfe
to help him get living instead OF one to
! hang ribbons on and pour patent medi-
cines into, would inst go down to your
city and find good strong, vigorous, IN
dustrious and frugal Irish or German girl,
he would find his farm would pay better
than it does now, and his ehilcren would

farmers as VII be any of the next genera
