SOME of the country doctors in Eng.
land are employing bicycles or tricycles,
instead of horses, as means OF locomo-
tion. The bicycles used by them are OF
iron, the rim of the wheel is covered
with rubber, and they can move over
telersbly rough roads and up quite
steep grades, making from eight TO ten
miles or more in an hour. There are
many places in this country where a
doctor could sdvsntsgeously keep this
vehicle instead of horse, especially in
view of the hard times and the compe-
tition among the disciples Of E,culs-
Plus.

The locomotives of the northern rail
way of France now carry small clocks in
front OF the smoke stacks to enable the
engineers and station masters to know
the exact hour of the arrival of a train.
These clocks are all regulated by Paris

northern line that delay of a few min
utes even is enough to disarrange the

The LAST OF THE KELLY MoToR.-
The Philadelphia Times sums up, in q
few words, the final winding up of the
affairs of that most audacious humbug,
the Keely motor" The inventor So
called, claimed that he could develop u
power in connection with small keg of
water that would drive large-sized
steamship across the Atlantic at cost
of few cents a day, and that all our
methods of river and land locomotion
were to be changed by this wonderful
discovery. Thousands of persons be-
lieved his extravagant assertions, and,
aa the fools are not all dead" many
took stock in the company formed for
its development, of course with total
loss of their investments. Now that
the final collapse has come, the facts
elected are that the liabilities of the
concern are less than $500, but $780,
200 of the money of the. stockholders
has been subscribed and paid out for
useless machinery, and over million
and half has changed hands in the
rise and fall of its stocks. There were
20, 600 shares of par value of 800
each issued. These sold at first for
$50 per share, but the scheme was so
skilfully manipulated that they fire.
quently changed hands at $500 per
share. Now they are without value,
and could not be sold for a cent, even
it offered in lots to suit customers Of
small means.

Marriage.

Marriage places woman in the
sphere where she may attain the great
est happiness; so does it advance her
to q station of power aud responsibility.
Her power over her husbands happi-
ness is almost absolute. By wisdom
and steadiness, by forbearance and
weakness, she may be to him tower of
strength, but no tongue can tell the
way she may annoy him and render
him wretched. Then cultivate and ex-
hibit, with the greatest care and con.
stancy, cheerfulness and good humor.
They give beauty to the finest face and
impart charms where beauty is not. On
the contrary, gloomy, dissatisfied
manner is an antidote to affection; and
though man may not seem to notice
it, it is chilling and repulsive to his
feelings, and he will be very apt to
seek elsewhere for those smiles and
cheerfulness which he finds not in his
own home. Endeavor to make your
husbands habitation inviting and de-
lightful to him. Let it be to him a
sanctuary TO which his heart may al
WAYS turn from the calamities of life.
Make it repose from his cares; q shell
ter from the world; home, not for his
person only, but for his heart. He may
meet with pleasures in other houses,
but let him find happiness in his own.
Particularly shun what the world calls
"curtain lectures" When you shut
your door at night, endeavor to shut
out at the same moment all discord and
contention, and look on your chamber
as retreat from the vexation of the
world, shelter sacred to peace and
affection. How sweet is the society of
q beloved wife when wearied with the
labors Of the day. She sh res his bur
deLs and alleviates his SORROWS. for
there is no difficulty SO heavy or insup'
portable in life which m " not lie sur
mounted by the mutual )abors and the
affectionate concord of that holy part

The Norman Castles.

The castles built in the era immedi-
ately following the Conquest were very
numerous, and, considered in connec-
ton with the enormous number of re-
ligious foundations, which date from
the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the
building activity Of that age was, per-
haps, unexampled. In their construo-
ton, everything was sacrificed to mill
tary necessities, without the slightest
concession to any rival consideration.
Not a stone was laid except in the
strictest conformity with the conditions
of the problem, and every inch of the
structure, from basement to battlement,
was the expression and result of q sim
gle purpose. The very profiles OF the
copings were devised to defect or
check the fight of an arrow, and indeed
every part of the work bears testimony
to the overriding sway of an iron age.
The rough fancy of the Norman
breaks out here and there in the orna-
ment he loved so we'll. and with which
the ecclesiastical buildings OF the age
abound, but. never to the prejudice or
even to the apparent weakening Of the
main purpose VI the building. Cush-
toned capital. and zig-zag billet and
chevron are found, but only in the
crypt, Or on some inner gateway, or for
the adornment of the little oratory-
seldom misunderstanding in the thick.
ness of the mighty walls. Yet, in spite
of the absence of deliberate artistic
aim, the art instinct of their builders
is everywhere felt. By fortuitous COM
binations of line and mass, the pictur-
esque grandeur of the early castles is
not exceeded by any of the works of
man, nor is there probably any class of
building the world over which has af-
forded the artist such universal aid and
delight. To the novelist and the poet
they are never-failing source OF in
SEPARATION. Need I mention Scott? The
sight of castle stirs his heart like the
sound of a trumpet. - Magazine Of Art,

Mistletoe at Christmas Tide.

The hanging of the mistletoe is a
cause OF much frolic and laughter in
the house. It is the rule that whoever
is passing under the mistletoe- Dough
must submit to being kissed then and
there by whosoever chooses to take that
liberty. As q bough usually hangs
from the centre of the ceiling, spread
ing over large space, it follows that
there must DO much lodging or much
kissing; am inclined to think that
there are both.
The origin of this use of the mistle-
toe il not known; but We do know that
more than eighteen hundred years ago,
when the glad stars sang together over
the manager in Bethlehem, and wise
men brought gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh to young child in the
peasant mothers arms, England was q
chill, mist-covered island, inhabited
only by savages, who wore garments of
skins and lived in huts Of mud and
stone. Among these savage Britons-
there were pagan priests called Druids.
These priests were mysterious fold.
who lived in dense woods far away
from other men, and who. in the gloomy
solitude Of the forest, performed
strange secret ceremonies. The Sacred
groves, as they were called, were OF
oak; for the oak was divine tree, &C.
cording to the Druidical religion.
Within these sacred groves, the priests,
it is recorded in history. offered their
sacrifices, and in some manner, not now
known, they employed the mistletoe.
But all mistletoe was not sacred to the
Druids. They would have none but
that which chung to the trunk and was
nourished by the sap of the divine oak.
To them the apple-tree misletoe, which.
modern England uses SO freely in her
holiday festivities, would be worth
less and common thing.
When. in later centuries, England
was taught the Christian religion by
priests who went thither from Rome.
the people, though protesting belief
in Christ, retained many OF their
heather rites and customs changed
from their original meaning and pur-
pose. At any rate, from the Druids
has come the modern usage of the
mistletoe- bough, strangely preserved in
festivities which commemorate the birth
of Him whose pure worship destroys
all heather superstitions. Isl. Nicholas.

Mr.. WillOughby r pgeis, of EIljOy,
BiOunt County, writes US that on last
Sunday one of his mules was taken
very sick, bleeding at the nose, breath
ing very hard and lolling out his
tongue as it would open its mouth to
get breath. It also frothed at the
mouth very badly. Il was strangely
affected, and some thought it was
chOked, but it was not, as was proved
on examination. Mr.. Rogers bathed
its throat with coal oil, made a poal-
tice from the plant known as Life
Everlasting" and applied it to its neck,
and also bathed the neck in spirits of
turpentine, rubbing it in with hot
iron. The mule got better rapidly af-
ter, this treatment. Mr.. Rogers is
of the opinion that it was some kind
of distemper, and he recommends the
abo remedy in such cases.
