small quantity of whiting on damp
piece of old white flannel, and rub, over
the surface lightly, and it will leave the
paint remarkably bright and new.

4 Suggestive Thought.

When Peter of Croton was engaged
on a picture for the royal palace of Pet
II, Ferdinand IL. particularly admired
the representation Of weeping child.
Has your Majesty said the painter,
"a mind to see this child laugh?"
And, suiting the action to the word,
the artist merely depressed the corner
of the lips, and the inner extremity of
the eyebrow, when the little urchin
seemed in danger of bursting his sides
with laughter, who moment before
seemed breaking his heart with weep
ing,
If this be true in the world of living
men, slight, very slight, are the causes
that make or break the happiness Of
life. The touch Of brush can dim
heaven with cloud, or brighten the
prospects of the fair horizon.

Cremation in Slam.

During the last year or two, says the
'ongregationalist, much has been said
II the papers of our country about the
INV method of subjecting the bodies
of the dead to intense heat, which in a
few hours reduces them to aSheS-a
process called cremation. The expert
ment has been tried III ut least one in
stance in Pennsylvania. The Siamese
employ this method of treating dead
oodies, but they connect the burning
with heathen rites which seem strange
" out Of place at a funeral service. A
missionary i'll Siam has given an ac-
count of the cremation of the kings
brother, the king personally sunerin-
tending the services. On either side
Of the hall in which the dead man lay,
stood long rows OF idols, and near by.
groups of priests praying for the dead.
All about the hall were theatrical per-
formances, shadow pantomime,
Punch and Judy" show, music of
Siamese bands and Chinese gongs,
men dressed in skins of animals
dancing through the crowds, huge ami
mails made of paper sire ched over
bamboo frames and illuminated, dart
ing in every direction, carried by men,
works in every shade in al parts
If the grounds. suddenly all noise
was hushed, when the king kindled the
fire which i'll very short time con-
sumed the body to ashes. AT signal
from the king the fireworks were lit,
and the festivities recommended with
vigor and great noise. Such funeral,
conducted by the highest class of Jap
anese, costs hundreds of dollars, which
the friends blindly believe will some
how purchase prosperity for the depart
ed soul. and favor for the living.

RuSsia's Navy,

Capt, Marryat, as long ago as 1856,
wrote: RussiS wishes to have an open
ing Ill the Black Sea. And this is very
natural; her northern ports are closed
illne months n tho year, and, there
fore, her navy and mercantile marine
are almost useless. She does require
the opening of the Black Sea, it is all

Will; and, in my opinion, she is perfect

A Billion.

What very great sum is Il biil;on.
1t is Il million of millions. \ million
seems large enough-but million of
millions! how long do you suppose it
would take you to count it? 4 mill
which makes one hundred pins min
ute, if kept to work night and day,
would only make %, ,596. 900 pins year,
and at that rate the mill must work
10000 years without stopping a single
moment, in order to turn out billion

years shall have gone, eternity will seem

Roof Pruning.

IN a recent valuable paper, read by
Dr. Sturtevant before the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, he took the
ground that thorough tillage of plants
aided them more, and III a different
way, from what many people We're
aware. He believed in good tillage for
the benefits,that would result from a
thorough pulverization of the soil, and
he thought that there was AZ additional
good came from the severing Of the
roots Of plants, changing the work of
the plant by directing the growth to
the production rather than stem and
leaf. He quoted largely from his own
careful experiments 10 prove his point,
and advocated deep as we'll as constant
culture to effect the valuable results
desired.

Among the stories told about Ben
Wade is one to the effect that while in
Washington he was accosted by smart
looking negro boy who asked for money
with which TO buy his freedom. Il
never give money to buy Slaves" re-
piled Wade. Some Southern Senators
standing near began to smile, seeing
which Mr.. Wade turned to the lad and
said: why the devil don't you run
away? Here is ten dollars TO help pay
your expenses. Now run out OF slavery
the first chance you get.n The Soulh-
erners stared and the darkey skipped
away with the ten dollars and a new
idea.

Never enjoying even female society,
says the author of Life in India, their
lives are passed in the extreme of list
lesSness. 1t is this which produces SO
many instances of women burning
themselves. The husbands death is a
revolution in their existence, which
gives an opening for the minds burst
ing out of the ordinary track Of depres-
sion. They have a confused notion
that the hour is the only one Which can
occur to them for distinction. AS is
the case with all spirits that have been
long held in restraint, the momentary
emancipation is carried to eXtrava-
gance. Working themselves up to
frenzy they pledge themselves to they
know mot what. Once they declare
their intention 10 burn themselves
which is done in the first instant of be.
wilderment produced by the husbands
death, no retreat is allowed. The fore
casting policy of the Brahming has
made the disgrace of the woman's fal'
tering fall, not on the individual alone,
but on all her relations, SO that the
whole of her family will force her to
perseverance. Then the Brahmins in
toxicate her with representations as
we'll as with drugs. In this hot climate
the funeral OF the defunct must SO soon
take place that there is no time for re
Election. The interests of the Brah
Minis i'll this, is that it is Il triumph over
reason. The scene is an additional
perplexity to that common sense, the
growth Of which they seduously watch
and endeavor to stunt in the lower
classes. Subjugation of the intellect
that they may reign over the bodies of
the multitude, is the mremitting oh
ject of that worthless and successful

One entire, tedious year dragged by.

Honora was hopeful when he shut him

alarmed at his perfect silence, she made
her way into the studio, she only found
an unsghtly daub upon the canvas, and
this desperate scrawl:
