AQUARIUM CEMENT.-To make an aqua
rum cement, follow these directions and
you will find they can be relied upon. 1t
is perfectly free from anything that Injuries
the animals or plants. 1t sticks to glass,
metal, wood, stone, etc, and hardens
under water. Take one part, by measure,
say gill of litharge, one gill of plaster
of Paris, one gill of dry white sand, and
one-third of a gill of finely powdered
resin. Sift, and keep corked tight until it
is required for use, when it is to be made
into putty by mixing little boiled lin
seed oil, with Il little patent dryer added.
Never use it after it has been mixed-that
is with the oil-over fifteen hours. This
cement can be used with marine as well
as fresh water aquara, as it resisls the
action of salt water. The tank can be
used Immediately, but it is best to give it
three or four hours to dry.

The Roman Catholic church is about to
abandon the effort to raise money enough
to liquidate the debt incurred by the
financial mismanagement of Archbishop
Purcell. The debt is estimated at four
millions of dollars, which is said to be
over two-thirds as much us the total con-
tributions received by the whole church
in one year for religious purposes. Bishop
Chatard of the Vincennes diocese recon-
mends that the church at large only
attempt to raise funds to buy the church
property in the diocese which is involved
and will otherwise be lost to the church.
This will require four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, The Catholic laity will
perhaps learn by their heavy loss the
folly and wrong of making their clergy
the depositors of their surplus money, and
the result will be the emancipation of the
people, to some extent from under the
control of the priesthood. Protestant
ministers may learn from the wreck of
Archbishop Purcell's trusts, the wisdom
of Pauls course when he declined even to
carry to Jerusalem the contributions of
the heathen churches, and would have
some of themselves convey and disburse
their charitable offerings "that the minis.
try be ot blamed, ,"-ChriStian Statesman.

SToRE-RooM AND SToREs.-A clean,
tidy and well arranged store-room is one
sign of n good, methodical housekeeper.
When stores are put away at hap-hazards
and taken out at any time and in any
quantity, disorder and extravaganza pre-
vail. A store-room ought to be large. airy,
cool and dry. Such room is not always
to be had, but even if closet has to be
put up with. it may be kept clean.
Shelves should be ranged around the walls
and hooks fastened TO the edges of
the shelves. The dryest and coolest
parts of the room should be kept for
jams, jelles and pickles. All the jars
should be distinctly labeled at the front,
so that they will not all have 10 be taken
down every time particular jar is want
ed. Biscuits and cakes should be kept in
closely y-covered tin boxes; lemons should
be hung in nets. Soap should be bought
in large quantities, and cut up into con-
venient tsized pieces, so that it may be
dry before it is used. Coffee, when roast
ed, should be kept in small quantities; if
un-roasted. it will improve with keeping
Stores on no account should be left in the
papers in which they come from the gro
GERS, but should be put into tin cannisters
or earthen jars closely covered, and each
one labeled. A hammer, few nails, a
little gum, ball of string a few sheets of
foolscap, pen and ink or pencil and pair
of scissors should always be kept in the
store.room.

lis disbarking takes place every eight
nine or ten years, the quality Of the bark
improving with the increasing age of the
tree. which is not in the slightest degree
injured by the process. At the first and
second gatherings, the bark is fit only for
floats for fishermen's nets and other infe-
rior uses; it is not until the third disbark-

sired perfection for the manufacture of

Children ought not to be unnecessarily
thwarted in their objects, which at n very
early age, they pursue with eagerness.
Let them, if possible complete their pro-
jects without interruption. A child, for
example. before he can speak, is trotting
after u ball; tho mother or the nurse
snatches him up at the moment. to be
washed and dressed, and the poor child
throws himself into violent passion.
Whereas, had she (mother or nurse) first
entered into his views, kindly assisted him
in gaming his object, and then gently
taken him up, this trial would have been
spared, and his temper uninjured.
We should avoid keeping children in
suspense. which is often done from a kind
motive, though with a very ill effect. II
child asks his mother for cake. and
she can give it to him, let her tell him so
at once, and assure him that he shall have
it, but, should she be unable to grant his
request, or know it would be improper
for him, do not let her hesitate; do not let
her say, " will think of it; we shall see y
but kindly and decidedly refuse him. II

A CAUTION ABOUT SHOT IN GAME
This being the season when game killed
by shooting, and probably containing the
pellets, is eaten, it may be worth while to
caution those who consume the flesh of
birds with avidity that the proportion of
instances in which shot is found is probably
small in comparison with the number OF
cases in which the pellets are unwitlingly
swallowed. 1t is matter of speculation
how much mischief shot may do in
passing into the intestines, but the fact
that anamolous diseases have been set up
by the presence OF very small bodies which
have become entangled in the folds of the
mucous membrane renders it dcsira BILE to
put folks on their guard. Occasionally
the most disastrous results have followed
such small causes, We have in recollec-
ton the case of a physician who died after
prolonged and unexplained sufferings from
the impaction of II very small nail. which
had found its way into a pudding, and was
inadvertently swallowed. A little care
will avoid this contingency, but, remem-
bering that the bird has been shot, some
pains ought certainly to be taken to avoid
swallowing the missie.-Lancct.

PREMIUMS FOR SWINE.-At one of our
principal fairs recently, the writer over
heard conversation between several
prominent swine breeders in regard to
swine. Said one: 81 have found it use
less to exhibit anything but Poland
China for Il sweepstakes premium, for the
largest hog always takes the premium
though for my part prefer some of the
smaller breeds the Berkshircs, for instance.
The Berkshire makes better pork than
almost any other breed and its hams are
the finest in the world" Said another;
My experience has been the same. Now
tho Essex is one Of the finest hogs that
there is; but it stands no show for Il
premium in competition with other larger
breeds.
Tho above forcibly shows the fact that
size is the principal thing taken into con-
sideration in awarding premiums to
swine, instead Of quality, ana | think that
the experience of nearly every breeder
will confirm the statements of the gentle
men quoted. Is this as it should be?
Is there nothing so desirable in hog as
sizeP Are not iineness, case Of keeping
and iattening, quiet disposition and early
maturity us desirable as size? If not,
then the present method of giving awards
is just; but if they are, is it not time for
a change to be made?-Y. j. Emery,
Henry Couaty, Ohio, IN Rur0'.

DISEASE IN ICE.-And now we are told
that there is "disease in ice." The London
Lancet, an eminent medical journal says:
" Impure Or diseased ice cannot be used
with immunity in any form. 1t is not
good to make ice water, for the frequent
use of such drink may nduce disease of
various types. Then, if this poisoned ice
is placed in refrigerator it will, through
evaporation, mpregnate milk, butter, meat,
fruit, and all food within its reach. Hence
there is no doubt but many mysterious
diseases, whose origin the doctors cannot
fathom, are brought about by diseased
ice." And the Popular Science Monthly
asks: NOW, whence comes our ice
supplyp Often from shallow reservoirs
in the neighhorhoods of large towns. pur
posely made to receive surface drainage
from all around, under the erroneous idea
that no harm would insue, as freezing is
supposed to purify and render harmless
what might otherwise be Objectionable.
Great quantities Of ice are taken from
canals, from streams that are either the
natural Or artificial recipients of surface
drainage, of the outpourings of sewers,
and of uncleanlincss from various
sources

HUNGER AND THIRST. Some interesting
experiments have recently been made by
the medical faculty of Michigan university
in order to determine the seat of hunger
and thirst in the animal system. A dog
was chloroformed, after having been fed
hearty meal, and while the musculo-
membranous reservoir for food was largely
dstended, an incison was made through
the abdomen, over the large curvature Of
the stomach, into that organ; then II
silver tube, II quarter of IN inch in diane
ter and an inch and II half long. was in
serted in the cut, the other end of which
was corked up. The tube was half inch
hanges ut both ends, the inner flango
serving to keep the tube in its place while
the outer flange closely shuts the exterior.
The dog still lives with his stomach
permanently on top; in fact, the operation
in no way affects the health of the masliff,
although in undergoing the severe ordeal
to which he is now subjected in the inter-
est of science, hunger compels him to eat
about six times as much rs formerly. The
result of the experiment proves that the
seat of hunger is not in the stomach,
neither is the seat of thirst in the throat,
but that both reside in the system ut large.
The dog was permitted to eat hearty
meal, which was Immediately taken from
him, via the tube. in few minutes; after
recovering from his fright, he would eat
an equally large quantity of food, and SO
on to any extent.
Again, he has not been permitted to eat
anything for say twenty-four hours. Food
would then be injected into his stomach
through the tube. Notwithstanding his
stomach was already full, the animal
would at once gulp down more food; but
if sufficient time was given for the injected
food to onter the system. ho would then
refuse all that was sat before him. The
conclusion arrived at from these expert
ments find confirmation in the fact, which
has often been observed, that persons
suffering from thirst, although The parch-
ing sensation is apparently limited TO the
throat, find immediate relief upon entering
a bath or even from immersing the feet in
water

WHAT MAKES HOME HAPPY ?-If hon

WHAT MAKES HOME HAPPY?-1f home
is the kingdom of God and the kingdom of
of God home mayIbe,it is because the spirit
of God is there. 1t is because tho woman
who is the queen of that home makes home
the center of her thought, her hope and
her PRAYER. 1t is because the man who
has sworn to love her, to honor her, and
to cherish her, knows that he best keeps
his oath by making her home and his
home glad, cheerful and beautiful because
he does not neglect it and desert it. To
them that grow up children who know
that the noblest duty is the duty next their
hands; who are glad TO surprise their
mother with new picture or to relieve
her of some old care; children who find
their father their best companion, and
who have no secret from him from boy
hoods and girlhood's joys and sorrows.
The original trinity,the trinity from which
all scholastic and ect tlosiastical trinities
were formed, is the sacred trinity of the
father, the mother and the child, one in
three and three in one. 1t is life indi-
vidual; life cnly perfect when each share
with each, each is entertwined with each,
and each sustains all.

BEGIN WELL.-.The entering upon arelig-
ious life is the beginning of supreme impor-
tance to every one. Joining the church is
often like Cesar's crossing the Rubicon,
for by this step many blessedly commit
themselves 10 a happy and useful Christian
course. But true conversion is indispen-
sable in order 10 give real happiness and
usefulness. A right beginning spiritually
is like giving the proper pitch to tune,
and, if after beginning well. there be
"patient continuance in we'll doing" life
becomes like delightful song, full of
noble thoughts and aspirations, sung so
tremendously as to delight and profit those
around, as well as to promote in high
degree the singers happiness and advant-
age.

1t is now coming TO be regarded as more
and more true, among breeders of most
classes of domestic animals, that the
money paid out for what are termed
" fancy points" among which may be
included peculiarilies of color or form, is
not, on the whole, profitable investment.
but is well enough where the owners or
purchasers have an abundance of money.
1t is questionable if particular color or
shape Is, in fact, worth the price which of
late years have been asked for them.
