Only one OF the big trees of Cali
fornia has been felled by the hand
OF maL. To accomplish this it re-
qnired the work of five men for
y days. not chopping, but with
iOng aUgurs, boring II down. After
he Tree was completely severed, the
veteran stood still unmoved and re-
fused to tall, until by ropes, pulleys
and wedges, the enormous trunk
was brought to the earth. This
tree was found to be over 500 feet
long, ninety-six feet in circumfer-
ence at the tase and sound to the

If sane man unnecessarily leaps
into the deep, is the Almighty under
any obligations to help him out?
Certainly not. For is it not written
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy
God? Remember this, we thought
less christians, who plunge your
selves among the billows of tempta-
tion and then cry Lord deliver as
hereof. TIE prayer is behind time.
The petition. Lead us not into
temptation" presumes that we are
to keep as far from it as possible.

Love Of Sisters.

There can be few separations
more painful than that which sisters,
who have lived together from infan-
cy, are called upon TO endure when
new ties divide them, and call for
the exercise of other duties. Even
% the woman who leaves the happy
home of her childhood, from the
free and unrestrained impulse Of a
new and Expressing feeling, there
will recur moments OF solitude and
thoughtfulness, when the heart
fondly returns to that loved spot
our first home, endemed by a thou
sand associations Of affection, and
he who loves his wife with tlIe most
lervor, will feel more securely The
strength Of her attachment 10 him
self in proportion as be discovers
in that heart the warmth OF mutual
affection, which cannot part from o
parent and sister without regret,
and who cannot recall, even in that
society which she has preferred %
every other, the memory Of their
tenderness without graceful tears.

Plunge one end of it into water; it
seems crooked or broken. Philoso-
ophy teaches us that this is owing to
the refraction of the rays of light
which proceed from that part under
the water So it is with the line of

viewed in the history of the world it

Air the Bedding.

The desire of an energetic
housekeeper to have her work
completed at an early hour in
the morning often causes her to
leave one Of The most important
items Of neatness undone. The
most etfectual purifying Of beds
and bedclothes cannot take place
if a seasonable time is notallow-
ed for the free circulation Of
pure air to- remove al impuri-
ties which have collected during
the hours of siumber. At least
two or three hours should be al
lowed for the complete removal
Of atoms Of inscnsible perspira-
ton which are absorbed by the
bed; every day this airing should
be done, and occasionally bed
ding constantly used should be
carried into the open air, and
when practical, left exposed to
the sun and wind for half a day.

1t is also coming to be gener-
ally understood that forest trees
do important service in promote
ing rainfalls, and in helping to
retain the surface water for
springs, streams and general use.
1t is also known that certain
species, planted in malarial local
tiles, help TO render the latter
healthy by somehow using up
the deadly nliasma.
1t would not appear that trees
growing near drains carry off the
sewage water.
A gentleman, whose cess-drain
was constructed just like his
neighbors' and in the same kind
Of soil, had found it unnecessary
TO clean it out, while the Others
had to be cleaned out frequently.
An examination showed that
three large trees, who roots had
penetrated into the vicinity Of
his second, or waste, cess-pool,
were clearly the channels through
which the waste all escaped.
Whether it was changed into
plapt-food, as is likely, or was
exhaled through the leaves, in
either case it was disposed Of
with equal safety.

WHEN AN EGG is FREsH.-
An egg is said to be fresh, when
in the summer it has been laid
only couple of days, and in the
winter three TO six. The shells
being porous, the water in the
interior evaporates and leaves a
cavity of greater or less extent.
To determine the exact age Of
eggs, dissolve about four ounces
of common salt in a quart of
pure water, and then immcrse
the egg. Fit be only.a day or
so old, it will sink 10 the bottom
of the vessel, but if it be three
days old it will float in the liq-
uid; if more than FIVE it comes
TO the service, and rises above
in proportion to lis increased
age.

FowLs.-Open the beak of the
fowl, and with sharp, narrow
bladed knife make an incisien at
the back of the roof Of the mouth,

which the fowls are hung up by
the legs. They will bleed per-
fectly, with no Disagreement;

sired, scalded. In this way the
skin presents a more natural
appearance than when scalded.
