OVERTASKING THE ENERGIES.

1t is not advisable for any of us to overtask

Tie remedy IS neither costly nor difficult to

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
HONORABLE CONDUCT.

The patrons of nusdandry had grange
store in Delaware county, Iowa. The COM
nany was organized under the laws OF the
State. The stockholders were not therefore
liable for any loss beyond their stock. BY
some bad management, and depreciation OF
goods on hand, the company lost heaVhy.
About year ago the stockholders met ana
unanimously voted on themselves tax OF
GO per cent. on the amount OF their stock, TO
nav the debts of the company. They nave
been closing up their business. But the ~
per cent. would not meet all the obligatlons'
We learn from the Manchester Press that
there was another meeting OF the stockhold-
ers last week, when they voted another tax
of 40 per cent. on the stoch-maklng IN all
100 per cent. Thus these honest grangers
yoluntarially, after sinking all their STOCK
nav the full amount in addition to paying
the debts of the company, which legally
they were not bound to pay. In any other
department of life, in baking, insuance, or
any other corporation, where is there par
allel example? All honor to the patrons OF
Delaware county. AS the Press says, they
have made record in that whole business
of which they, nor their children after, need
be ashamed MONIES Register.

The Weeping Cypress of China

Tho most beautiful tree Csays traveller in
the tea oountries) found in this district is a
species Of weeping cypress, which L had
never met with in any other part of China,
and which was quite new to me. 1t was
during one Of my dnily rambles l saw the
first specimen. About half q mile distant
from where l was I observed q noble-looking
fir tree, about sixty feet in height, having q
stem as straight Us the Norfolk Island pine,
and weeping branches like the willow Of st.
Helena. Its branches grew at first at right
angles 10 the main stem, then described q
graceful curve upwards, and bent again at
their points. From these main branches
others long and slender hung down perpen-
dicularly, and gave the whole tree q weeping
and gracefulf form. II reminded me of some
Of those largo and gorgeous chandeliers,
sometimes seen in the theatres and public
halls in Europe. What could II bo? It evil

oil. / walked-no, to tell the plain truth
ran up TO the plnco where it grew, much to
the surprise of my attendants, who evidently
thought Ihad gone crazy. When reached
the spot where il grew it appeared more
beautiful even than il had done in the dis
lance. Its stem was perfectly straight,
pnd its leaves were formed like those of the
well-known Arboryitar, only much more slen-
der and graceful. This specimen was forto,
nately covered with a quantity of ripe fruit
n portion of which | was most anxious /,
secure. The tree was growing in some
grounds bolonging,to n country inn, and was
the property of the innkeeper. A wall inter
voned between us and It, which / confess 1
felt very much inclined to get over; but re-
membering l WINS netting Chinaman, and that
such n proceeding would have been very in
decorous, to say the loast of it. Immediately
gave mp the idea. We now walked into the
inn. and, seating ourselves quietly down Mt
onolof the tables, ordered some dinner to DO
brought to us. When We had taken our meal
we lighted our Chinese pipes, and sauntered
out, accompanied by ourpolitc host, into the
garden where the real attraction lay. "What
n fine tree thiso of yours s! We have never
SCENT in the countries near the sea where we
come from; pray give us some of its seeds,
ut is n fine tree, said the man, who was
evidently much pleased with our admiration
of it, and readily complied with our request.
These seeds Were carefully treasured and rs
they got home safely, and are now growing

The manufacture Of fans is an important
branch of industry in japan, and no fewer
than 5000. 900 fans, valued ut $4,000,
were. according to Mr.. Consul Annesleys
commercial report on Hiogo and Osakh,
lately issued, exported from those ports
in 1873. Osaka is the principal city for
tho manufacture of the ''ogi" or folding
fans, which arc those almost exclusively
exported, all descriptions of the bamboo
kind being made there, the figures, writ
ing, &c, being executed in Kiyoto.
III, principle of division of labor, as e1-
planned in an extract from the HEcSo Nees.
quoted by Consul Annesley, is carried
out q long way in this branch Of in
dustry. The bamboo ribs of the fms are
ma ~ private people in their own houses,
aul 4 Abinaiions Of the various notches
cut = the lower part is left to ono OF tho
En.siiiug wurkmen, who forms the various
patterns Of tbs handles according to plans
prepared by the designer. In like manner
the designer gives out TO tho ~engravers the
patterns tlui lac thinks will be saleable, and
wh-n the blocks have been cut decides
what eolors arr TO DO used for each part Of
the design, and what different sheets are to
be used for the opposite sides Of each fan
When these sheets with the sets of
bamboo slips which arc TO form the ribs
have been handed over to the workman, he,
in the first instance, folds them so that they
will retain the crease. This is LONE by
putting them between two pieces Of
heavily oiled paper, which are properly
creased. The faus arc then folded up to-
gsther aud plnced under pressure. When
sufficient time has elapsed The sheets are
taken out and the moUlds used again, the
released sheets being packed up for at
least twenty-four hours IN their folds The
ribs, which are Temporarily Grrunged in
order on a wire, are then taken and set
into their places on one Of tho sheets Of
ter 1t has been spread out on O block and
pasted. A dash OF paste then gives the
woodwork adhesive powers, and that part
of the process is finished by afixing the
remaining piece of paper. The fan Ia
folded up and opened three or four times
before the folds get into proper shape, and
by the time it is put by to dry ii has re-
ceived an mount OF handling Japanese
paper alone would endure. When the in
sides are dry the riveting of the pieces to-
gether ~(including the outer eovering) Is
npidly done, and n dash OF varnish quick
by finishes the fan. The highest priced fan
that was ever used in the days Of seclusion
from tho outer world was not more than Ave
yen. Since foreigners nave been in Japan,
however, some few have been made 10
order ls dc II as $40 and $40 each. The
general prices Of ordinary FAM range from
so sen per 100 to Is yen per 100, though
m extraordinarily costly fan is turned out
1t 90 yen per 100. The number of fans
ordorod for the Philadelphia Exhibition
alone amounted to over goo, 600, at d
cost Of about $50, OOO. The sale OF fans
in olden times seldom exceeded 10, 600 q
year for the whole country.

A LIMnLEss Boy. There is quite a curl
osity in our n~eighborinS County of Harri-
son, says the Carlisle kentucky Mercury.
1t is Il boy thirteen years of age without
legs or arms. On the right side of his
body instead Of nu arm ia a slight projec-
ton about four inches in length, and on the
left side is another about three inches in
length. Instead of legs. he has a single
foot, which has but two toes. The boys
name is Charley Blair, and his parents re-
side at Boyd's Station. His parents have
returned from the Centennial with him,
where he was the object of much curiosity.
He is a remarkably sprightly aud intelligent
boy and can hop about as fast us any ordi-
nary person can walk. He does not require
any person TO cut his food, but does it him
self by pressing the knife between his sub
st tut for an arin and his elm. He can
writ by holding the pen in til same man
nsr' and, by the way, witt a good hand.

wonps or wIsoox.-A grain of prudence

woRps OF WTsDoM. A grain of prudence
is worth q pound of crnft. BoastArs are
cousins to Inns. Confession of fault makes
half amends. Denying a fault doubles II.
Envy shooteth at others and woundeth her
self. Foolish fear doubles danger. God
reaches us good things by our own hands.
He has hard work who has nothing to do. 1t
costs more to avenge wrongs than to bear
them. Knayery is the worst trade. Learn
ing makes a man fit company for himself.
Alodesty is a guard to virtue. Not 1, hear
conscience is the way to silence it. One
hour to-day is worth two tomorrow. Proud
looks make foul words in fair faces. Quiet
conscience gives quiet sleep. Richest is he
that wants least. Small faults INDUCED are
little thieves. The boughs that bear most
hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walk
ing. Virtue and happiness are near kin.
True men make more opportunities than
they find. You never lose by doing a good
turn. Zeal without knowledge is fire with.
out light.
