United States. The quantity in the
cans varies from half pound to three
or four pounds.
OF milk, while the London market
seems to be we'll supplied with that
which is fresh and sweet, very large
amount of condensed milk is consumed,
Judging from the quantity displayed in
the shops The best of this canned
milk comes from Switzerland, at least
that which commands the highest price
in the London market, while the only
other brand | have met with here is the
English. These cans are just about the
size of the Eagle brand of condensed
milk, so common in the United States,
put up in Illinois.
OF course canned meats OF various
kinds are no rarity. They can be found
in all parts of our country, and all over
the world; but taking into account the
quantity and variety--aud l have by no
means mentioned all-London seems to
be more fully stocked than any other
city. OF fruit in cans and dried fruits,
I do not speak; they embrace every.
thing.
OF green fruits, apples and pears par.
ticularly, London is just now chock full
and they are all from the United States.
1 have tested their quality and price,
even since began this letter, and they
are as fine and cheap as they are at the

Opening in Jupiter.

For many months past vast oval
opening has existed in the deep cloud en-
velope Of Jupiter. Such at least seems
to be the true Interpretation of the enor-
nous rose tinted spot now visible on
"the moon-girt orb Of mighty Jove."
This opening has length of fully 25,-
900 miles, breadth of about 1000
miles, though it is to be noted, as not
the least remarkable feature of this
strange phenomenon, that since it was
discovered the opening has changed
markedly in size and shape if not in po-
sition las Prof. Pritchard, who first ro-
ticed it, believes). The part of Jupiter's
outer cloud envelope thus displaced can
not be less than l32,000,0O0 of square
miles in extent--in other words, the
area of the rose eihted spot is nearly
equal to that of all the sea covered parts
of the earth. Our spectroscGpists.
ought to compare the rosy light from
this part of Jupiter with that received
from the cream colored belt now occu-
pying a part of his equatorial zone.
The result of such comparison could
hardly be instructive, 1t has been as
sorted, by the way, that nine-tenths of
Jupiter's light is Inherent, not mere sun
light reflected from his cloud surface.
This, however, cannot he the case,
though doubtless the eminent mathema-
tician prof. Pierce who made the state
ment, is fully justified in believing, as
he does, that the hidden globe of Jupi-
ter is still aglow with intense heat. For
if nine-tenths or even one half of Jupi-
ter's light were inherent this light anal
ysed with the spectroscope would almost
certainly be found to differ in marked
degree front tina Of reflected sunlight,
whereas the only observed difference is
such as to indicate that Jupiter's light
is in the main, il not wholly, sunlight
which has passed through air heavily
laden with vapor or water. Doubtless
Jupiter's dense clouds hide his glowing
surface almost wholly from our view.

Courtesy.

Little girls, do you ever think about
the meaning of words This word,
now, courtesy, has something about it
in which which girls and women were,
and in many heathen countries are now,
not much better than slaves. In China,
for instance, when company comes to a
houseothe parents present the boys very
proudly, but they send the girls out Of
sight as fast as possible They don t
want anybody to know that they have a
little daughter in their home. Gradu-
ally, in the middle ages, women came up
from u state of barbarism, and the cler-
gy and poets together helped her to win
her proper place, The lady Of the East
kept the keys and presided at the feasts,
wore beautiful robes and stuffs called
samite and camelot, and gave medicine
to the sick. She learned surgery, too,
and when the soldiers and knights came
home from battle wounded and faint,
she knew how to set the broken bones
and bind up the bruised parts So
everybody treated her politely, and the
sort of manners which then came to be
popular, in place of the old roughness
and rudeness, took the general name of
courtesy.
The Bible bids us to be courteous.
Do you want to know the highest ard
loveliest style of courtesy, which you
can practice at home, at school, and in
the street 1t is all wrapped up in one
golden phrase" In honor preferring
one another" Suppose you try to live
with those words for your motto, say for
q whole week to come.

Two Glimpses OF the Late Prince
Imperial.

We have two recollections Of this un-
fortunate Prince, to which his cruel fate
has given pathetic significance. One
was the opening of the legislative body
in the year 1866, when the Emperor
first associated his son with him officially.
The splendid Throne-room Of the Louvre
was crowded with the most brilliant
company of Christendom, with the great
officers of state. of the army and the
Imperial household. The Emperor en-
tered and took his place on the raised
dais ; at his left sat the stout Prince
Napoleon jerome; and in an, episcopal
robe OF violet silk the young and Apollo
like ecclesiastic, since Cardinal Bona
parte, sou of the Prince of Canine,
while on his right sat the little Prince,
then ten years of age-as sweet and
gentle child as ever delighted mothers
heart, A year or two afterward, on the
reserved terrace of the TuiIeries, we saw
two boys playing with their velocipedes
and keenly enjoying the air and the
exercise. One of them was the Prince
Imperial and the other Don Alfonso of
Spain. The former seemed secure in
the prospect of the most conspicuous
throne in the world, the other had Just
been driven, finally as it seemed, from
land which had decreed eternal banish-
ment to his race. We cannot fathom
the immutable will that rules the event
of human fortunes; who could have
dreamed that in these few years one of
those boys would be lying dead in an
African corn6eld, and the. other, we
know not how firmly, established in the
palace Of his ancestcrs'-Harper's Maya

Prosperous Times.

American farmers ought to pros-
per this year. European countries
will undoubtedly need a large
amount OF wheat, as reports indicate
a partial failure ot tue crops abroad
in many sections. While specula.
ton will, doubtless, run wild among
wheat dealers, by which many will
suffer, the farmer ought TO receive &
great deal Of benefit, which will be a
relief to the condition Of affairs
which prevailed among our agricul.
turists for so long 9 period. Not
only the business 10 breadst9ffs, bat
our provision trade will receive great
augmentation, as tie scarcity OF
grain abroad will render the surplus
available Tor feeding cattle very
neagre. thereby decreasing ti,e meat
supply. And then again manufac-
turing interests are improving and
employment for the anasses of work
ing people that have for months
been idle is becoming easier 10 OBJ
tain. This fact, confined with the
great aud increasing demand FROM
