Farmers Breakfast.

The AgricultUriSt comments judi
ciously on the improper breakfast hab-
its of farmers thus:
A bad custom is prevalent in many
families, especially among farmers, of
working an hour before breakfast, at
tending to chores, hoeing the garden,
cutting wood, moving, etc. This is
convenient on many accounts, but is
not conducive to health. The preva-
lent opinion is that the morning air is
the purest and the most healthful and
bracing; but the contrary is the fact.
At no hour of the day is the air more
filled with dampness, fogs and miasma
than about sunrise. The heat of the
sun gradually dissipates these miasmic
eminations as the day advances. An
early meal braces up the system against
these influences. Everyone knows the
languor and faintncss often experienced
for the first hour in the morning, and
this is increased by exercise and the
want of food. We do not agree with
the boarding-school regime, which pre-
scribed long walk before breakfast as
a means of promoting health.

The other day, one of the school
children said to chum: 1.-The little
schoolma' am told us this morning that
some parts of the ocean are more than
four miles deepn'
That's easy to say, thought 1, but try
to think it, my dear! Fix on place
four miles away from you, and then
imagine every bit of that distance
stretching down under you, instead of
straight before you Perhaps in this
way you may gain an idea of the depth
of the ocean; butjust consider the height
of the air-which, I'm told, is a sort of
envelope about the earth-more than
nine times the depth of the ocean! Yet,
what wee bit of way toward the
moon would those thirty-six miles take
us! And from the earth to the moon is
only a little step on the long way to the
sun.

Fashions in Gentlemen's Clothes.

THERE is but little change to be no.
ticed in full-dress suits this season.
For promenade suits the "Albert
frock' will be largely worn. 1t is made
from dark blue and black diagonals, or
black and colored cloths and kerseys.
Made from the same materials are the
" English walking coat and the "cut-
away" That last mentioned is cut to
fit the form closely, and will be worn
more generally by young men. The
vests are cut from the same material,
with or without collars, and buttoning
up high. The tendency of all goods for
trouserings is to stripes, even though
they are family defined in some cases.
The suit known as the " Alfonso is
bidding for popular favor. 1t is made
from imported nddomestic cassimeres
and cheviots, and is cut in the form of
a straight sack, cut round at the bottom
of the skirt in front, with a short collar
and plain wide sleeves. The vest is cut
long, without collar, and the trousers
with wide seam and rather large in the
legs, but shaped gracefully. The Lon
don sack g Regent and Conserva-
tive" with some unimportant changes
in its outlines, will still be much worn.

ing red ants: g First he used bits of
sweet cake placed in every room in the
house. The cakes soon swarmed with
ants. Tapping the insects off into a
cup OF turpentine, he replaced the cakes
and captured fresh legion. After a
few days no ants appeared on the cake.
Their presence was still suspected, how
ever, and on putting bacon as trap
for them they swarmed upon the bits
ofpork. After a few days the pork was
unnoticed, and cheese was tried, with
the same results. When the cheese was
neglected, dead grasshoppers were
