The vexed question as to how often vacci-

London Lancet, the best English medical
authority, which distinctly deprecates the
FREQUENT repetition of reyaccination, as be-
ing useless and. tending. to unsettle the
minds Of people in regard to it's preserva-

and other servants of the London smallpox
hospital, when they enter the service, are
invariably submitted TO vaccination, which
iii their case is generally revaccination, and
is never afterwards. repeated; and so per-
feet is the protection that, though the
nurses live in the closest and most constant

The Trees OF Judea.

Judea, renowned in ancient times for
the number and variety of trees grow
ing within its borders, h.,s now become
one of the poorest countries in this re-
spect. A recent English writer gives
the results of his personal observations
as follows:
The only trees one meets are the
olives. which, however, are by no
means plentiful in Judea, and mostly
old and stunted-looking. In Samaria
we saw several considerable plantations
of them, but yet that country is also
sadly deficient of trees. Where now is
the oak-tree on which Absolom hung
by his bushy locks? There is, / believe,
only one remaining sufficiently large
for this, and yet we read that the
Wood of Ephraim, p" where he was de-
fea,ed, destroyed more men than did
ise sword. And where is the Sycamore
tree upon which Zaccheus climbed? I
doubt if there be one such within many
miles; and yet we know that Jericho

verdure, and called the ''City of Palms"
Indeed, that Palestine generally was
once extremely fertile and rich in woods
and verdure is evident from the mean
ing of many of the Scripture proper
names. There is along almost
every little water course number of
what are called trees, but they are gen.
orally willows of mere copse or brush
wood. a tree of any description, of
size TO make an ordinary beam for
building purposes. is quite rarity;
such are only TO be found mites apart.
The vine, so much alluded to in the
Bible, is somewhat rarely To be seen,
but that it was extensively grown is
evident by the traces of terraces upon
the steepest hills, still abundantly Wis
ible. Then as to the flowers, ''the rose
or Sharon" and the 'lily of the valleyr
can not be found. There are many
wild flowers, certainly, but generally
they grow out of dry ground" and
have, with very good blossom. almost
no green foliage. "Thorns and briers'
are abundant, but with very little foli-
age also. and seem useful only for burn
ing. The fig trees are even few and far
between, and the orange, apricot, and
almond still more so. The fields are
not inclcsed, except in some rare cases,
where wise husbandman has gathered
the loose stones into piles around his
border. Hedges are rare, but when
seen they are generally formed of large
cacti covered with dust, having in the
twilight somewhat weird look.

Gcneralsllin in the Kitchen.

Says Alexander Hyde in the New
York Times: I'VE see so many farmers
working hard from the beginning of
the year to its end, and that year after
year, till life ends, with such small re-
suits, that we do wish TO impress upon
the community the true principle of
economy. a farmers wife once ex-
pressed it TO us in one word-calcula-
ton. We found her a slender-looking
woman, surrounded by flock of child
rem, and having the care of dairy of a
dozen COWS, with no Bridget to assist
her, and still everything moved on like
clock-work. The children were tidy,
the house neat, the cooking nice, and
the butter of gilt-edged quality. We
watched her to study the secret of her
economical management. She never
seemed to be.in hurry, certainly never
in fret, but went from one thing to
another as calmly and pleasantly as the
butterfly goes from one flower to am
other. We noticed that she had every
convenience for work. Water flowed
constantly in her kitchen and dairy
room, anu her churning was done by
dog-power We were satisfied, howev-
er, that the secret of her efficiency was
not in churns, dogs, water, nor any
other of her conveniences for labor,
and we finally asked, "IIow do you ac-
complish all your work with such appa-
rent ease?" With a toss of her head
and pleasant smile she replied, "By
calculation. Before / go to bed l set
my table and make all my arrange
ments for breakfast. Before / get up
in the morning think over the labors
of the day, and plan everything out,
assigning each duty its time, aid when
the time comes / attend to the duty
and now the time has come for me to
skim my milk; so please excuse me-"
Upon this she bowed herself out with
the grace of a queen. We could not
help thinking--happy is the farmer that
has such help-meetl

George Eliot,s Sins in Art.

The London correspondent of Liv-
erpool paper writes: "George Eliot is
getting it hot. Mr.. Swinburne has
preached her such a sermon against her
sins in art that she is not likely soon to
forget it. But much more serious
charge is laid against her by an anony-
nous author in the Church Quarterly
Review. He calls "Daniel Deronda"
the romance of modern skepticism. He
denounces mildly but Enthusiastically the
book itself as irreligious in tendency.
He goes further, and charges all George
Eliot's books as being subversive of
the principles of society They are
tales, he declares, directed against mar
riage. The mindless woman may mar
ry and be happy. But the great, grand
women, the Dorotheas, the Gwendo-
lens of life. are not happy. lam afraid
that there is something in this. But
George Eliot has two replies. She
may answer that her objection is not to
marriage, but to the social code which
supposes that wife must subordinate
her true self to her husband. She may
refuse that plea and adopt another.
She is an artist, and she paints from
the life. The Romolas, Doyotheas and
Gwendolens of the world do find their
lives often cramped by their fate.
George Eliot does not make things so.
She only says things are what they are" |"

Hcne Repairs.

A lady gives some hints for repairs
that can be made by any housekeeper:
The friedrich of our cook-stove gave
out, and not one was to be had nearer
than Philadelphia. A friend gave us a
recipe which we find works well,
though we had little faith in it at first.
We mixed cup of salt with two of
coal ashes, wetting it up with water.
This was applied to the inside of the
stove in the place of the fire-brick. 1t
hardened in few hours, and answers
as well as the brick. Cracks in stoves
may be mended i'm the same way.
A large pail used for taking up ashes
had become too full of holes for use,
but was so light and handy, we did not
like to give it ZIP. So we pasted stout
cloth over the bottom, outside and in,
and then covered the cloth with q thin
cement of salt and ashes. 1t is first
rate ash-pail still, and hot ashes do not
burn out the cloth. Mending tin with
cloth may be a new fashion to some,
but it works very well. / know coal
scuttle that has done good service for
five years since it was pronounced worn
out, simply by having piece of cloth
patched on with thick flour paste. 1t
needs renewing about twice a year.
A lady told me that she mended big
dish pan by covering the bottom with
white paint, and then putting on a
piece of white cloth, which she also
covered with paint. She had used it
five years then, and it is eleven years
ago, so L presume she is using it still,
as she was not woman much given to
change.

Fact in Natural History.

The researches of scientific men. saws
the Journal of Science, have shown
that some species of crustacea, among
others the ordinary barnacles that in
fest the bottoms of our ships, although
blind. fixed and helpless, as they appear
to us, are, in their youth, active, sharp
sighted little creatures, shaped some
what like our water-flea, with long an
ten@, which are provided with cups at
their extremities. Having passed the
period of youth, they begin to think of
settling down steadily in some chosen
spot for the remainder of their life. By
means of sucking cups they adhere to
some fixed or floating body. In this
position a long humpgrows out of their
back, from the end of which sticky
fluid is poured out, which CLUES them
firmly to the object to which they have
attached themselves. The function Of
their sucking cups is thus rendered
useless, and the little animal glides
down the declining days of its little
stream of life, in quiet enjoyment Of a
new phase of existence.

Italian Oranges.

A full-grOwn orange tree yields from
500 to 1900 oranges annually, arriving
at the bearing state in three to five
years, as does the lemon tree; in proper
climates both grow luxuriantly in most
soils. In the Mediterranean countries,
whence ouT principal supply is derived,
the plantations are called gardens, and
vary in size, the smallest containing
only small mum Der of trees, while the
largest number many thousands. The
fruit is gathered in baskets lined with
canvas, the basket being held by
strap, attached and passed around the
neck or shoulders. From the garden
the fruit goes to the packing magazine,
where it is removed from the boxes in
which it was placed in the gardens, and
repacked for shipment by experienced
female packers, after having been care
fully assorted by women and wrapped
in separate papers by young girls. The
box of oranges contains, on an average,
226 specimens of fruit.
AS many as 500 persons, mostly wo-
men and children, are employed by
some of the fruit growers in their gar
dens and magazines, in gathering, sort
ing and packing for shipment, the
wages paid them varying from nine to
sixteen cents per day. The boxes are
then securely covered, strapped and
marked with the brand of the grower,
when they are ready for shipment. A
very large proportion of the boxes of
this vast trade are now made in the
State of Maine, principally of birch and
maple, cut in thin sheets, put up in form
of shocks, and shipped from Bangor to
Italy. Twenty years ago the orange
trade was trivial in its commercial inn
portance or in the inducements to capi-
talists. Now it assumes great promi-
nence, and is source of considerable
revenue to the Italian government. In
1869 New York received from Italy,
principally from Palermo and Naples,

Winter Care OF Live Stock.

My method OK taking care of cattle
in winter, says correspondent OF the
New England Farmer, is this: Clean
the managers and feed with hay at half
past five in the morning, then milk,
feed meal and roots. then another fod-
dering of hay, water, and clean stable
at half-past seven; then feed poorer hay
or straw, of which they will eat what
they want, then lie down and chew the
cud and be. quiet till four in the after
noon, when they are watered, mangers
and stables cleaned, then feed with
hay, then MIXED and fed again with
hay or straw. l find they are more
quiet and do better than when fed the
same amount at intervals during the
day. They will all drink heartily as
soon as it is light in the morning, and
the cows usually drink at night. The
water is warm, supplying five different
apartments without freezing over in the
coldest weather in winter. The stables
also are very warm; the teams that labor

times day, the sheep twice day. but
are fed both times at daylight. Cattle
and sheep like a variety of food, and
will sometimes eat very poor fodder for
a change, but should never be starved
to make them eat it, as they will not
thrive under such treatment, and their
keeping will be dead loss. Meal and
roots fed to cattle will give them a good
appetite for coarse fodder, and If fed
together will be beneficial, but think
every intelligent and observing farmer
will say that turnips are of little or no
value when fed with straw alone, but
are of great value when fed with meal,
shorts, bran or hay. Good early cut
hay or dried grass makes good food for
all kinds of stock, and is the most pro-
fitable crop for the farmer to raise, but
we must have variety.

Liebig makes the statement thai
rain-water filtered through field or gar
den soil does not dissolve out trace OF
potash, silicic acid, ammonia, or phos-
phoric acid. The soil does not give up
to the water one particle of the food of
plants which il contains. The most
continuous rain cannot remove from
the field, except mechanically, any Of
the essential constituents of its fertil-
ity. The soil not only retains firmly all
the food Of plants which is actually in it,
but its power to preserve all that may be
useful TO them, also extends TO with
drawing from rain or other water all
the ammonia, potash, phosphoric and
silicic acids held In solution.
