The TURN OF LIFE. E.---Between tho ages

properly regulated himsolf, may be consid-
cred in tho primo of life. His maturcd
strength of constitution render him almost
impervious to al attack of disease, and
experience has given souudncss to his
Judgment. His mind is resolute, firm and
equal; all his functions arc in tho highest
order, ho assumes mastery over his busi-
ness; Ibgilds up a competence on the foun-
dation 'fo has laid in carly manhood, and
passes through period Of lifo attended by
many Qualifications. Having gone overa year
or two pust. sixty, he arrives at stand -still.
But athwart this is the vaduot called the
turn Of life, which, if crossed in safety,
leads to tho valley of "old ago." round
which tho river winds and then beyond,
without boat or oauscway to effect his pas

of fragile material, and it depends how it is

ELEPHANTS AT WoRK.-Dr. Field says
one of the great industries of Burmah, 'is
tho timber trade. Tho teak wood, which
is the chief timber cut and shipped, is very
heavy and requires prodieious force to
handle it; and as tho Burmese arc not
enough advanced to use machinery for tho
purpose, they employ elephants, and bravcly
do the noble beasts perform their task In
the timber yards, both at Rangoon aud
Mailman, all the heavy work Of drawing
and piling tho logs is done by them. /
have never seen animals showing such in
tolligcnce aud trained to such docility aud
obedience. In the yard that wo visited
there wero seven elephants five of which
were then at work. Their wonderful
strength camc into play in moving huge
pieces of timber / did not measure the
longs, but should think that many were at
least twenty feet long and foot square,
yet ma!o elephant would stoop down, and
trunk over it, and wolk off with it as lightly
as gentleman would balance his bnmboo
cane on top Of his finger. Placing it on
tho pile, he would measure it with his eye,
and if it projected too far at either end,
would walk up to it, and, with q gcntle push
or pull, would make the pile even.
eff a still heavier log needed to be moved
on the ground to some part Of the yard, the
mahout, sitting on tho elephants head,
would tell him what to do, and the great
creature seemed to havo perfect under
standing of his masters viii. lie would
put out his enormous foot and push it along
or he would bend his head, and crouching
half way to the ground and doubling up
his trunk in front, throw his whole weight
against it, and thus like ram would but
the log into its place; or, if it needed to be
taken greater distance, he would put n
chain around i; and drag it off bchinl him.
The female elephant especially was employed
in drawing, as having no tusks, sho could
not lift like her big brothers, but could only
move by her power of traction or attraction.
Then using hor trunk as delly as lady
would use her fingers, she would unite tho
knot or uDhitch the chain and return to her
master, perhaps putting out her trunk to
receive banana as reward for her good
conduct 1t was very pretty sight, and
gave US new idea of tho value of these
noble creatures and Of tho way 10 which
they can be trained for the service ofman."

the Generalization Of the party they will put

forget " lie was always true to the Union
aud TIA results of the war; and he was always
true 70 his friends"

opinion, without salt or any other condi-
ments, and is of beautiful scarlet color,
and 80 thick that it must be put up for

GERAN1UAs 70 KEEP OVER WINTER.
-Geraniums, fuchsias, salvias, and other
plants that you may wish to keep over

be taken up with ball of earth at
tached to them and placed in one corner
of your cellar, provided it is warm
enough not to freeze potatoes; pack them
close and bank the earth firmly about
the roots. In January or February you
can bring the fuchsias to the window,
and they will form beautiful Towering
plants in about six weeks time.
SWEET Picked PEACHEs.-Peelt the
peaches aud allow three and a half
pounds of sugar and a pint of vinegar
for every seven pounds of fruit. Pack
the peaches in stone jar with a few
blades of mace, sticks of cinnaman, half
a dozen cloves and portion of the sugar
between each layer. Add the vinegar
and set che jar closely covered in a ket-
tie of boiling water. Let it cook four
hours. then set away and the following
day drain off the juice, boil and skim it
and pour hot over the peaches in the
jar. Repeat this process the succeeding
day, this time boiling down the juice
until just sufficient to cover the fruit.
BEEF BROTH WITH TAP1ocA.-A
pound of beef cut in pieces must be put
into four cupfuls of cold water, set on
the back Of the stove where it will heat
slowly, then boiled gently for two hours
or longer, keeping it closely covered to
prevent too great evaporation. There
should be pint of broth after it is
strained. Set it away until wanted and
remove any fat that may rise to the sur
face. Soak. two tablespoonful of Tapi-
oca for an hour in little boiling water,
add this to the broth and boil all togeth-
er for Is minutes: season with salt, and
if admissible, pepper and few drops of
lemon juice may be added, or if pre-
ferred, the broth may be seasoned in
cooking with bit of celery and little
scrap of onion.

A Health Destroying YapOr

Is generated by the action of the suns
rays upon damp decaying vegetation, stag
naut pools, and marshy. low lying tracts.
The true nature of this miasma is by no
means clearly understood, but there are two
facts in relation to it that are. The first is,
that the periodical fevers which it breeds
are of the most virulent type; the second
is, that these maladies are rarely cured, al.
though they may be ameliorated by the or.
binary remedies employed to overcome
them. The true antidote to the effects of
miasma is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
medicine is one of the most popular rene.
specifics, and is in immense demand wher-
ever on this continent fever and ague ex.
lists. A wine-glassful three times day is
the best possible preparative for encounter
ing malarious atmosphere, regulating the
liver. and invigorating the stomach.

Monster Trees.

! A fallen tree of the Eucalyptus species,
was lately measured at Gippsland, Vic
toria. When measured it showed q total
length, from roots to. top, of 1876 feet.
The crest of this tree was broken OF but
the trunk at the fracture was nine feet
in circumference and the height of the
tree, when growing, was estimated at
more than 500 feet. The tree, however,
was dead. Near Fernshaw, in the
Daudenong4 district, Viotoria, has been
discovered specimen of the almond
leaf gum, standing alive, which measures
$50 feet Efrpn TIM ground toIthe fiist

This tree overtops the tallest living
Sequoia by 150a feet. Its girth ID, how

that of many sequoias, but It is probably
