All About Home.

"THE COMPLETE HOME" Mrs.
Julia McNai- Wright's new book,
iust published by J. c. MCOUKDl &
Co.. oi Philadelphia, has received the
warmest concentrations from the
Press and Clergy in all sections of
the country.
The following extracts clearly in
dicate that it is work of sterling
merit. -.r H..
The Christian Advocate says:-A
book of more practical utility will
seldom, if ever, be found outside Of
inspiration. .,
The Presbpte,ian says:-The pre-
vailing feature of the book is its good
sense, and when we say this of such a
book we pay it the highest compli-
ment we can imagine. 1t is true
everywhere to the Evangelical faith.
The Journal and Messenger, Gin
cinnati, O., says We believe that it
would be Of unspeakable benefit to
every family in our land could it be
read not only by fathers and mothers,
but by sons and daughters, as they
are growing up. It's healthy tone, its
common sense and truthfulness COM
mend it, and can but render it of the
highest value.
The N. Y. School Journal says -
In this work We have all the lights
and shadows that 80 to make up the
picture of real home. 1t lmpa-ts
instruction in the whole range Of do
mestic government in the most pleas
ing and effective manner.
The Mo. Republican says This is
essentially q home book, 1t must
have been dedicated by heart that
has been baptized IN The beauty Of
the holiness Of home. The sem
timent of the took is lofty while the
style is natural, cheerful, easy and
fluent, and the pages are so many
bright pictures of domestic quiet and
comfort.
Rev. DR.. March says 1t is 90
we'll written that 1t cannot fail to Re
read, and it cannot be read without
bringing sweetness and light into
somebody's home.
From the above it will he seen that
this is sensible, beautiful, and ca
tren,ely va!,1able book. It's sphere is
wide as the world itself and it will
exert Q powerful influence for good
in every home into which it enters.
Agents for its sale are wanted
everywhere.

John Bonham, unable to answer this
home e-thrust, took refuge in smoking
more vigorously than ever.
"And of the two tastes" went on his
aunt, more relentlessly, (Which is the

to continue so. You would have her,
like the Israelites of DID, make bricks
without straw. You would turn her
into mere household drudge"
John Bonham raised one hand, depre-
catingly. "Oh. no, no.' he cried.
"But you would" persisted his aunt.
"A wife might as well be horse in a

round forever, as have to go on doing
household work, day in and day out,

John Bonham rose from his chair,
flung the cigar out of the open window,
came up to Aunt Jane, and impulsivr-
ly took her hand between both of his.

There are no fish in the great Salt
Lake. The only living thing about its
waters is worm about q quarter of an
inch long. This worm shows up beau
tifully beneath the lens Of 4 micro
scope. When storm arises, the
worns are driven ashore by Thousands
and devoured by the black gals. We
found pure stream pouring into the
lake, 1t was Hiled with little chubs
and sinners. The fish became frighten-
ed. and were driven down the brook
into the briuy lake. The instant they
touched its waters they came TO the
surface belly upwards, and died with
out a gasp. The water is remarkably
buoyant. Eggs and POTATOES float up
on II like cOrks. Mr. Rood and myself
stripped and went in swimming. l
dived into the lake from long pier.
which had been built for the use of a
small steamer that formerly piled upon
the waters. The sensation was novel.
Tho water was so salty that my eyes
and ears began to smart, blt so buoy
.nt that found no difficulty in float
ing, even when the air was exhausted
in my lungs. As struck cut for the
beach / felt a. light as feather. In
spite of all that I could do my heels
would fly out of the water. The light
ness of the water and the sHrsins of
the waves forced my feet from under
me. a person who could not swim
might be easily drowned IN hye feet OF
water. His head would 90 down like
a lump Of lead, while his feet would
fly up like pair OF ducks. The water
is as cl0ar a. tho water Of Ssneca Lake;
so clear that the bottom conld be seen
at the depth of twenty feet. When We
reached the shore and crawled out up
on the sand, in the light Of the sun,
our bodies were quickly ceated with
salt. We were compelled to go to the
little stream from which we had driven
the chubs snd sinners, AID wash liz
fresh water before we pat on our
clothes. Onr hair was tilled with
grains of salt which could net be wash
ed ont. The Mormons occasionally
visit the lakes in droyes for the pur-
pose of bathing. Many of them say
that their health is improved by leav-
ing the salt upon their bodies, and
dressing without wiping themselves
with napkins.

An Unlueky Color.

Under the vigorous administration Of
James ". of Scotland, the young Earl Of
Caithncss incurred the penalty Of outlawry
and forfeiture, for revenging an ancient
feud. On the evening preceding the battle
of Flodden, accompanied by three hundred
young warriors arrayed in green, he pre-
sented himself before the King, and submit
ted to his mercy This mark of attachment
was SO agreeable to that warlISe Prince
that he granted an immunity to the Earl,
snd all his followers. The parchment on
which this immunity Is inscribed is said to
be still preserved in the archives Of the
Earl of Caithness and is marked with the
furnishings, having been cut out Of drum
head, as no other parchment could be found
in the army. The Earl and his gallant band
lerished to the man in the battle of Flod-
den; since which period it has been reck-
oned unlucky in Caithncss to wear green
