MAKE NE A SONG

MAKE ME A SONG.
BY REV. A. J. RYAN.
Out OF the silence make me a s5np
Beautiful, sad and soft and low:
Let the loneiiest music sound along
And wing each note with a wall of woe
Dim and drear,
With hopes last tear
Out OF the silence make me a HYMN
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out OF the stiffness in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child OF art
The song Of a hope in a last despair.
Dark and low.
A chant of woe.
Out Of the stiffness, tone by tone.
SON as snowflake, wild as a moan.
Out Of the darkness fash me a song.
Brightly dark and darkly bright:
Let IL sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night
Sing IL sweet,
Till we shall meet
Where nothing is drear. or dark or dim
And earth songs melt in Heavens hymn

White Hair.

SIS 1t possible for a PERSONS hair to
turn white within a short timer" There
are so many instances now on record that
there ought to be no longer any doubt
upon the sabject. In the late Arctic
expedition nearly every mans hair be-
came grayer, and in some cases white,
but assumed its natural color when the
men returned to lower ATTITUDES. In
many cases the human hair is said to
have turned gray from grief, extreme
care, or sudden fright. During an out
ward passage to Australia (says a cores
pondent) the ship l was in suffered
greatly in the British Channel: twice
we were nearly wrecked, having lost
three anchors and two cables. The
pilot who had charge was constantly on
watch, only snatching a few minutes
sleep here and there, as opportunity
afforded. On the whole, he had a very
anxious time indeed, and when he
eventually left the ship off the Isle Of
Wight he certainly looked twenty years
older. l thought his hair had decided
ly turned grayer: this may, however,
have been only Imagination, and there
fore ought rather to be considered as an
IMPRESSION than an actual fact. Within
the last few months a fresh case of the
possibility of the color of hair changing
has come under my notice. An old
gentleman, aged eighty nine, residing
in my immediate mel ghborhood, lately
died. For many years his hair had been
perfectly white, but a few days before
his death some of his hair became black
giving the appearance of his having
dark brown or black hair. Here it is
interesting to note that In his younger
days his hair was light. After the
death of this gentleman the tips Of the
hair for about an inch assumed the
original color, becoming white again.
/ have heard of another instance where
after death the hair turned from white
to black. Dogs seem to be affected with
regard TO their hair in like manner as
human beings. lately read of a case
where a black Newfoundland dog be-
came gray in a few weeks, and the
writer declares that the only cause for
this sudden conversion was grief.

Interesting Chinese Customs.

In a village under a Chief, a young
man opened a pawnshOp, being the first
known in the neighborhood. For
articles pawned by the disreputable or
very poor, who alone patronized the
establishment, he charged the common
~pawnshop interest of three per cent per
month. The depositors o discovered
that the interest wa extremely heavy,
and began to grumble. AT last an cad.
vertisement" was sent to the "Chief,"
naming the pawnbrOker and mention
"Chief," himself one of the ''wealthy"
men; discovered that the p%awnbrOker
was a nephew of his own He at once
sent an intimation to the effect that he
would make good the loss sustained by
every n of the depositors, and form
ally accused his nephew to the district
magistrate, who, because of the excel
lence of the "Chief'so reputation, was
unwilling to act where his relation was
concerned. "Carry out the law" was
the only response of the Chief. and, &C.
cOrding to the Flaw" of the place, the
%pawnbroker was banished beyond the
pale, to live among the "Jan" men. We
have several men from that "Region"
here at present.
When a boy is apprenticed to the
mercantile trade, he has to find a COM
petent security, who is responsible for
his good conduct. The boy is brought
on trial for a few days, at the end of
which, If he is found stupid, he is sent
away, if retained, 1t is for a life of
drudgery for a longer or shorter period.
1t is his duty to be up before the sun,
summer and winter, to sweep out the
rooms, brush down the goods-stands
and dust everywhere. His life is during
that time that of a slave, till time re-
places him by another, as he %rejoices in
the dignity of the salesman, who opens
his shutters with the rising of the sun,
and closes them in the evening twilight.
Wages are very fair, and all mess to-
gether on the establishment.
If an apprentice or assistant misbe'
HAYES he is advised to reform. If the
advice is not acted upon he is dismissed
at one of the three terms-first moon
after sixth day, when shops are first
opened after the holidays; on the fifth
of fifth moon, and on the fifteenth OF
eighth o But If an assistant Of
any kind Is discovered to be an opium
smoker he is dismissed on the spot, the
established custom of terms being re-
pealed for this one offense, the offender
not having ever a few days granted him
to look out for a situation. The reason OF
this is doubtless that the opium-smoker
has always been discovered TO be utterly
ruined in his moral character, and un-
able to refrain from stealing to crafty
the passion of which he becomes the
slave; and possibly also because II
renders the smoker incapable of exert
ing his energies, and makes him a lazy
workmen. At all events he is no
trusted.
Notice of dismissal is given by afix,
ing the name of the party to be dis
missed outside the kang on which HI
sleeps. 1t ia done when all are retired
to rest, and everybody sees In the morn
ing that $50 and so is to look out for

Ferocity of the Leopard.

An instance of the ferocity of the
leopard occurred in the case of the mis-
sionary Schmidt, This worthy man
had gone out with a party of Hottentots
to another Moravian station to hunt
some hyenas which had been very de-
structiye to their flocks, and, in COM
pany with one of the men, entered a
thicket in pursuit of a beast they had
wounded. Instead of the hyena, how
ever, the dogs started a leopard, which
instantly sprang on the Hottentot and
bore him to the ground. Mr.. Schmidt
instantly ran forward to the aid of the
man, with his gun cooked; but before
he could get an opportunity of firing
the animal left the Hottentot and fieG'

at that time, might think the same, ! write once
more TO satisfy them on that point. Since

SCIENTIFIC.

Fog SigHdls.-PrOfessor John Tyndall
has arrived at the conclusion that for
fog signalling purposes gun cotton and
cotton powder are the most eficacious,
Intense coast lights and the electric
light may aid the mariner In a certain
sense as fog signals, but In very heavy
weather they are valueless, for the fog,
when thick, Is intractable to light. In
the july number Of the Popular Science
Monthly Professor Tyndall gives the re-
suit OF some recent experiments In fog
signalling which will be found very In
%structlve reading. After repeated ex-
periments, 1t was discovered that
rockets prepared Of the two substances
named above were greatly superior to
ordinary cannon discharges, and even
TO the steam siren. On the 18th of
October, 1877, experiments were made
Dungeness with rockets Of gun cotton
and cotton powder Of eight ounces, and
two ounces, and an ls-pounder gun
with the usual charge OF three pounds
OF powder. The result was that the
gun cotton and cotton powder appeared
TO be practically equal as producers of
sound, while the ls-pounder gun fell
far behind. The experiments made on
that day were only those of a series that
were made. Professor Tyndall, who is
no mean authority on fog signalling,
declares that In these rockets a signal OF
"great power, hardness, and economy
has been placed at the service of our
mariners"

AGRICULTURE.

A food hog pasture should contain
live water. In the absence Of IL there
should be a well and pump. Ii Is by no
mean essential that hogs should have
mire TO wallow In, but IL is an excellent
plan to have q pool Of water In which
they can wade during the warm YEA
Their. II this cannot be furnished there
should be n large trough from which
the animals can drink at any time. A
good shade Is Of much Importance In
raising hogs. They cannot endure the
hot sun without suffering from the con.
sequences. Several large, spreading
trees, a thicket Of bushes will afford an
excellent retreat from the rays Of the
sun. IL Is cruelty TO put hogs In a pas
ture In which there Is no natural or
artificial shade. If there are no trees,
rude sheds should be erected and
covered with poles aud straw. In lay
ing out a place for q hog pasture. pro-
vision should be made for shade. The
sheds may be erected for temporary
purposes, but trees should be planted
for use in the future. Cottonwoods
will grow so fast that they will afford
excellent shade In a few years. They
thrive well on any Of our prairie soils,
and may be easily obtained in any por-
ton OF the West. A grove of crab-apple
trees afford a most delightful shade,
while the fruit will be of some value TO
the hogs. There is nothing like a good
run among large forest trees such as
grow on the bottom lands of the West,
for the production of healthy hogs. In
all the reports Of hog cholera that have
reached US, we have heard of no cases
occurring on farms where the hogs had
a chance to run at will through a for
est, and enjoy the advantages of shade,
mast, and the clear water Of running
streams,

DOMESTIC.

How TO DIsLoDGK BUGs.-It Is much
easier to keep these pests out OF a bed
or room than to dislodge them alter
they have put In an appearance, aud
when q housskeeper pays close atten-
ton to cleanliness and ventilation, she
need not fear that they will frequent
her premises. Yet they are often
brought In trunks by visitors, and some
times they attach themselves TO ones
clothing in sleeping cars; and again
servants often carry them from house
to house. When a bed has become in
tested with them you must take great
pains to destroy all the eggs. They are
very small, and OF a whitish color, and
are usually deposited in the crevices Of
the bedsteads, and along the edges, and
In the corner of the mattresses. Boiling
hot alum water is instant death TO both
the insects and the laryR; and If 1t Ia
poured into the joints and cracks of a
bedstead 1t will destroy them all. Wash
the bedsteads and sponge the mattresses
with 1t. Then scatter pulyerized borax
in all the crevices and corners, and not
a bedbug will be seen or felt. Bugs are
much more annoying in wooden bed
steads than in iron ones, and therefore
1t is much better TO purchase the last
named one for servants rooms. If the
alum and borax are thoroughly applied,
and care taken that no more bugs are
brought into the house, there will be
no further complaints from their at
tacks. The early spring and early
autumn are the best times to attack
them, for they are not in an active con-
ditiOn before the weather becomes
warm, and in the autumn they a be
DESTROYED for the winter.
