"The Admirable CrichtOn."

James Crichton was human prodigy.
Before reaching his twentieth year, he
had run through the whole circle of the
sciences, and was master of ten lam
guages, which, from his vast memory,
we're as familiar to him as his mother
tongue. Nor was his fame confined
merely to literary excellence he seemed
to combine the most discordant qualities,
and was witheut rival in all corporeal
exercises. 1t is reported of him, that in
fencing, he could spring at one bound
the length of twenty feet on his antago-
mist. and could use the sword in both
hands with equal dexterity. He had also
fine voice, and great skill in playing on
musical Instruments. His person and
countenance were alike eminently beau
tiful, which served to set off his accom-
plishments; for even virtue never fails to
be still more acceptable in o graceful
form. For the victory he gained on the
4th of February, 1879, over the learned
men of the University of Paris, he had
conferred upon him the title of cad
mirable." The very next day he attended
fitting match at the Louvre, where, in
the presence of the Court of France, he
bore away the ring fifteen times sue
cessively. The last adventure in which
he was engaged, displayed his extraor-
d nary spirit and skill in feats OF arms.
Rowing about the streets of Mantua one
night during the carnival, and playing
on the guitar, he was attacked by slA
men in masks. His courage did not de-
sert him on this critical occasion he op
posed them SO stoutly that they were
glad to fly and their leader being dis
armed, threw off his mask, and begged
for his life. How must it have wounded
the sensibility of Crichton to discover il
the suppliant Vincentio di Gonzaga, th'
son of the Duke of Mantua, whose pre-
ceptor he had been chosen. Instead o
merely granting the forfeited life, whicl
was all that ought to have been required
he fell on his knees, apologized for hi
mistake, and presenting his sword to tn
prince, told him that his highness wa
always master of his poor existence, an
needed not to have sought his death b
treachery. The brutal prince, eithe
irritated by the affront which he had re
ceived, or stung with jealousy, graspe
the proffered instrument Of destructio
and plunged it into his tutors heart.

Remarkable Lakes.

On the top OF ridge of mountains i'll
Portugal, called Estralia, are two lakes
Of great extent and depth, especially one
of them, which is said to- be unfathom-
able. What is chiefly remarkable in
them is that they are calm when the sea
is SO, and rough when that is stormy. 1t
is therefore probable that they have sub
terranean communication with the ocean;
and this seems to be confirmed by the
pieces of ships that they throw up,
though almost forty miles distant from
the sea. There is another extraordinary
lake in this country, which, before q
storm, is said to make frightful rumb-
ling noise, that may be heard at o dis
tence Of several miles. And we are also
told of pool or fountain, called Ger
vencias, and twenty miles from Coim-
bra, that absorbs not only wood, but the
hghtest bodies thrown into it. such as
cork, straw, feathers, etc., which sink to
the bottom and are never seen more. To
these we add a remarkable spring near
Entremos, which petrifes wood, OF
rather encrusts it with a case Of stone;
but the most remarkable circumstance
is, that in summer it throws mp water
enough TO turn several mills, and in win
ter it is perfectly dry.

Russian and ROumanian Horses.

Here in Bulgaria, writes o correspon-
dent of the Boston Journal, the Russian
horses appear to stand the privations
and hard work better than do their fell
lows from Roumania and Bulgaria. I
know a number of correspondents who
have lost numerous Roumanian horses
just by bit of hard riding necessary to
get a piece of news to the frontier.
Forbes has killed several horses. But a
good Russian steed hangs on to life
bravely. These little, sinewy horses are
faithful beyond description but they
have terrible tempers. They yell like
demons they watch good chance to
bite the strangers knee as he passes by
ON horseback, and when they succeed in
doing it they snort with malicious satis-
faction. A good Russian wagon horse
would not sleep well unless he had a
kicking and biting match with some
neighbor quadruped at least two or three
times daily. His temper carries him up
all the steep hills triumphantly he
gnashes his teeth with rage, and bounds
along as if he would exterminate the
hill while the Roumanian horse stops
short, and with discouraged and broken
hearted air will accept all the poundingf
showered upon him, but will not move
a step until another animal is hitched il
! TO help him.

Words OF Wisdom.

Humility makes all other graces amia-
BILE.
1t is easy finding reasons why other
folks should be patient.
Happiness is in taste, and not in
things; and it is by having what we love
that we are happy, not by having what
others find agreeable.
The bird of wisdom flies low, and
seeks his food under hedges; the eagle
himself would be starved if he always
scared aloft and against the sun.
Pride dries the tears of anger and
vexation; humility those of grief. The
one is indignant that we should suffer;
the other claims us by the reminder that
we deserve nothing else.
~ cannot be held to what is beyond
our strength and means, for at times the
accomplishment and execution may not
be in our power; and, indeed, there is
nothing really in our power, except the
will; on this are necessarily based and
founded all the principles that regulate
the duty of man.
A good character is in all cases the
fruit of personal exertion. 1t is not
created by external advantages; it is no
necessary appendage to birth, wealth,
talents OF station; but it is the result Of
ones own endeavors, the fruit and re-
ward of good principles manifested in
course of virtuous and honorable ac-
tions.
Manners are the happy ways of doing
Shings; each one stroke of genius or OF
love, now repeated and hardened into
usage, they form at last rich varnish,
with the routine of life washed, and its
details adorned. If they are superficial,
so are the dew-drops which give such
depth to the morning meadows.

An American In Distress.

One rarely sees fellow-countryman
in distress in Paris, writes Edward King
in the Boston Journal, but / did meet
one day before yesterday. He came up
to me on the Rue Scribe, where if you
are not an American you are supposed to
be, as nearly every office on it is in some
way connected with Yankee trade, and
observing me sharply, he said
care you an American ?"
Iproudly acknowledged that l was o
citizen of the republic.
oval" he said, "can you tell me
where / can get some chewin' tobacco?"
said no, Of course no one chews in
France-didnt know personally any
American resident who chawed.
"Wal," he said, sadly, sits all very
we'll for them that don't chew but I've
got to have some can't live without it."
And he stepped out with determined air,
looking for another American TO whom
he could put his despaiIing question.

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.



BAKED MAoARoNI.-Use about half a
pound of macaroni, break up in pieces,
put it in boiling water and stew gently
for twenty minutes; salt it little; drain
well; have ready a buttered pudding
dish; place alayer of the macaroni in
the bottom, then cover with grated
cheese and a few Jumps of butter; then
another layer of macaroni and more
cheese and batter until all is used up;
add wineglass of cream or milk; bake
covered for half an hour then re-
move the cover and brown nicely; serve
it in the bake-dish.
To BOIL TURKEY.-A delicate hen
turkey should always be selected for
boiling. Pick and draw it, taking great
care not to break the gall-bladder; when
it is singed, cut through the skin round
the first joint of the legs, and draw
them out by fastening the feet to a
strong hook and then pulling the bird
away from it; take off the head and
neck, wash it clean, and wipe it dry; fill
the breast with veal stuffng; in trussing
it, draw the legs with the body, break
the breastbone, and give the turkey as
plump an appearance as you can; put
it into plenty of hot water and boil it
very gently for about two hours; served
either with celery sauce or good white
sauce.
DRIED APPLE CAKE.-Soak three cup
fuls dried apples over night, then draw
off the water through q sieve; chop the
apples slightly, then simmer them in
three cupfuls of molasses for two hours;
after that add two eggs, one cupful
sugar, one cupful sweet milk or water,
three-quarters cupful butter or lard, one
teaspoonful baking powder, -four enough
to make pretty stiff batter; add cinna-
mon, cloves to taste.
GRAHAM BREAD.-Three pints of gra-
ham flour, one and half pints of white
flour, one-half pint of molasses, little
salt, one cupful yeast; mix rather wet
with spoon.
Indications Of a Good Butter Cow.
1t is said that the color of the inside
of the cows ear affords an infallible
guide to the selection of a good butter
COW. If the skin on the inside of the
ear is of a rich yellow OF orange color
and the lining of the ear is covered with
an oily secretion, the COW will be sure to
give good quality of milk, rich in
Cows that produce high-colored but
ter have large amount of the secretion,
she inside of the ear being of an orange
tint. On the other hand, light-colored
butter makers present scanty, thin,
pale yellow secretion, in some cases
found only at the bottom Of the ear,
while the inside lining is of q CORE.
spondingly pale, underlined color.
Every male of the bovine family has the
power of secreting certain amount ol
this oily matter. If the quantity be
normally large, secretion will take place
freely in the mammary glands, the eal
and the skin. AS the test is simple an(
costs nothing, it cannot fail to prove
a useful auxiliary to the dairyman an(
| farmer in their selection of rich mixers
