FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE.
Weekly Review Of the Market.

LONDON, January 2I.-The Mark
Lane Express SAYS the aspect Of the
growing wheat plant is scarcely Satis-
factory, rs sudden changes in the tenn
perdture have tended to check its ear
ly deYelOpement; but another month
or six weeks must elapSe before any
definite opinion can lie put forward as
to the actual state Of the crop. Far
mers deliveries have again been mod
crate, and dissatisfaction continues in
regard to the condition i'll which most
English wheat comes to the market.
Dry parcelsar quite an exception, both
in London and provincial exchanges.
Nearly all samples offered are damp or
sprOuted. To its defective condition
must be attributed the comparative
neglect from which home grown
wheat has suffered and which has pre-
vented us from showing increased at
tentiOn to foreign grain.
The imports of foreign wheat into
London continue moderate. More at
tentiOn has been paid to this class of
produce, as the granaried stock in the
United Kingdom show a considerable
deficiency on those held at the CORES
pOnding time in 1879. MillerS have
purchased with less reserve, and a
steady trade has resulted at fully the
late rates. The weak point as regards
the future course of prices is the un-
usually large surplus available, which
must exercise depressing effect, if
the purchasing power of France has
been OYerestimated. Apart from the
uncertainty attaching to the operations
of our neighbOrs who, instead of eX-
porting wheat, have been long import
ers, IL remains To be seen whether the
reserves of grain in the hands Of the
French farmers will be sufficient to
meett the requirements of consumption.
With large arrivals at ports of call
during the week, principally CalifOr-
nian, the floating cargo trade for wheat
has ruled steady without quOtable
change. Maize is firm at an advance
of siXpence per quarter. Sales of Eng
lish wheat last week were j2,l4l quar-
ters at 3ss I'D per quarter, against 39,-
425 quarters at 52S per quarter the
previous year. Imports into Great
Britain for the week ending January
II, were: wheat, I4.T4T cwt. and Hour,
l7S,09l cwt.

Smokers.

As is pretty generally known, the
smoking of tobacco has 4 certain in
tOXicating effect. II sOOtheS the ner-
yOus system, and i'm cases of poor liY-
ing it lulls the craving of a hungry
stomach without any degree of feed
ing the animal system. Men who hap
pen to be enclosed i'm 4 coal mine, and
are perishing for lack of food, are said
to have protracted life by 4 few con-
SOling whiffs of tobacco. In cases of
this nature smoking may be allowable
rs positive necessity; but we cannot
perceive the slightest reason for this
Indulgence in ordinary circumstances.
As usually observed, smoking is a vice
like dram-drinking. 1t is taken up in
spirit of idleness without vestige of
excuse. We need say little of its
wastfulness of means, though that
must be considerable The Govern
ment duties alone on the to-
bacco used in the United Kingdom
amounts to about &9,OOO0OO annually;
and if we add to the cost of the article
the yearly tobacco bill of smokers it
probably reaches the sum total of s2O.-
OOO,OOO. We have heard of instances
of youths in fashionable life who year
ly smoke $50 worth of cigars and
doubtless there are many whose outlay
must he far greater. Among the less
atfluent classes the habitual eXpeHdi-
ture on tobacco cannot but encroach
on available means of living, and often
when the outlay can be lily spared.
Viewed as 4 narcotic, tobacco may be
presumed to he of some value medical

ton to are its mischievOus effects on

tends to weakening the intellectual
system, which, to all who have to make
their way in the world, ought to be eX-
posed to no such blighting influence.
1t IS scarcely necessary to point ont
the fact that tObaccO-SmOking pOllutes
the breath, damages the teeth, and
weakens the digestive organs. In not
single feature, as common indul-
gence, is il cOmmendahle, but very
much the reverse. 1t dispOses to inac-
tiyity and earelessness. Few habitual
smokers attain to eminence in bust
ness Farmers given to smoking are
usually the latest in getting in their
crops. As publicly exhibited, the prac-
tice is OdiOUs. Smoking i'm the streets
has become a downright nuisance, for
passengers are compelled to inhale the
fumes, whether of cigars or pipes, dis

What Resolution Did.

Many years ago. when Dover. New
Hampshire, and the adjacent county
were first settled, there lived. in the
town of SOmerswOrth, in that state.
one Colonel Higgins, a notorious old
topper, who was in the habit of visiting
a tavern where the village of Great
Falls now stands, and partaking rath-
eT freely of tOddy, and returning by
way Of Dover, where he always wound
up by getting jolly drunk. and going
home in that plight; much TO the an
nOyance of his good wife. One fine
morning he started on his usual
rounds, and his wife entreated him
rather harder than usual to see if his
resolution would not let him get by
that tavern once. So the Colonel made
his usual visit To Great Falls, and did
not visit the tavern; then went to
Dover, As usual. and when he ap-
preached the Cavern he put spurs 10
his horse and dashed by. much 10 the
astOnishment of the landlord and the
bv-standerS. He went but few
rods, however, before he wheeled short
around and exclaimed, We'll done,
Resolution You have done nObly to
let me get BY that tavern once, and
now will go back and treat you" He
went back tn the tavern and treated
his resolution" till he was drunk as
usual, and went home TO boast of the
strength of his resolution To his good
wife.

looks very much like a dress, and

Eternity.

Eternity has no gray hairs The
flowers fade. the heart withers, man
dies; but time writes no wrinkles on
the brow of Eternity.
Eternity. StupendOus thought. The
ever present, undecaying and undying
the endless chain, composing the life
of GOd--the golden thread entwining
the destinies of the universe.
Earth has its beauties. but time
ShrOuds them for the grave; its hon
prs, they are but the sunshine Of an
hour; its palaces, they are but Is the
gilded sepulchres; its possessions,
they are toys of changing fortune; it's
pleasures, they are but bursting bub-
bles. Not so in the untried bourne.
In the dwelling of the Almighty
can come no footsteps of decay. Its
day will know no darkening, eternal
splendors forbid the approach of night.
Its fountains will never fail; they are
fresh from the eternal throne. Its
glory will never wane, for there is the
ever present God. Its harmOnies will
never cease; exhaustless love supplies
the song.

4 Conscientious Deacon.

For a long time the only meeting
houses in Brandon were the COngre-
gatiOnal and Baptist, two of the awk-
wardest and most dilapidated, unpaint-
Ell wooden structures in the State.
All ut once each society undertook TO
build a new brick church. Deacon
SpOOner took the job of doing some of
the work on the Congregational
Church, think it was to build the
window frames. He wanted a hun
dred and fifty dollars, while the COM
mittee wished it done for a hundred.
At last it was settled between him
and the chairman-a shrewd lawyer,
and something of wag-that 4 hun
dred dollars should be the price, but if,
on the completion of the job, the Dea-
con said he had "an all-fired hard mar
gain" he should be paid twenty-five
dollars more. The good Deacon found
that he had lost by the job, aid
claimed the additional five-and-twenty
dollars.
We'll, Deacon, asked the lawyer,
can yOu honestly say you have had an
all-fired hard bargain =
Yes, | have had IN awful hard bar
gain"
"BuJ can You SAY YOU nave hdd an
all-fired hard bargain:"
Yes, it was 4 tremendous hard bar
gain"
But that is not according Ia agree
ment. Will you say you have had an
all-fred hard bargainE"
NO, Squire, l can't say that. That
would be swearin', and | won't swear
for any money; but it was a most out
rageOus hard bargain"
Then don't see, Deacon SpOOner,
how we can, under the agreement, pay
YOU the twenty-five dollars"
The Deacon left, preierring to lose
the money rather than violate his con-
science BY saying -all-ired." But the
upshOt was that after the lawyer en-
jOyed the telling of the joke Il few
days, he paid the sum. So the good
Deacon saved his conscience and did
not lose the money.

How Animals Cool of.

Every observing farmer knows that
men and horses are the only animals
that have double means of refrigera-
tiOn, and all others have but one No
other beings sweat like men and horses,
and therefore cannot cool themselves
by perspiring through the skin. This
will be found true throughout the
whole range of comparative anatomy
and applies to the largest as well as the
smallest beings. All the thick skinned
animals, except the horse, have no pow
er in the skin To eXhale heat by per
spiratiOn, it being only a secretive sur
face. ALI the cleft feet species, includ-
ing those with feet and toes rounded

when heated, through the medium of

thruSts out his tongue and pants, toex-
hale the heat generated by exercise, and
if driven without time being allowed
for this he will die with the heat that ac-
cumulates within him. Hogs often die
when driven too fast, because they can
rot part with general heat.

Remedy for Insect Bites.

The pOisOns of most insects being
asidulOuS, the best remedies for their
sting are those which will instantly
neutraliZe the acidulouS poison depOs-
tied in the skin. These are either am
mOnia or bOTax. The alkaline reaction
of bOraX is scarcely Vet sufficiently ap-
preciated. However, time will come
when its good qualities will be known,
and more universally valued than am
mOnia, or as it is commonly termed
-hartshOrn; it is, moreover, a salt of
that innocent nature that it 4nay be
kept in every household. The solution
of bOraX for insect bites is made thus :
Dissolve one ounce of bOrax in one
pint of water that has been boiled and
allowed to cool. Instead of plain
water. distilled rose water, elder or
orange flower water is more pleasant.
The bites are to be bathed with the
solution 50 long as there is any irrita-
ton. For bees or waSps' stings the
bOTaX solution may be made of twice
the above strength. In every farm
house this solution should be kept us
a household remedy.-S. Piesso.

ITALIAN AND GERMAN MUSIC.
The Difference Between the Two
STYLES Of Music Described.

The Boston Tr.tnScri0t, repairing a
recent lecture in that city uDOn Italian
and German music. saws: The reason
Of the popularity III the OratOriO in the
North Is in the opinion Of Professor
MOnti, that the Northern Protestant
races are wont 20 bring out their H.
llgiOuS feelings on all occasions, even
those Of relaxation. while S1uthem
Catholic, can hardly hear solemn mt
SIC even III their religious services, and
;tS soon dS these are over. are ready f6f
something gay and cheerful.
He traced the progress of muSir il
this country fruln the DAYS Of the Pur-
Itan prescription If the art up Ia the
present era Of gigantic jubilees, agd
questioned whether this progress ha'l
after all, been in the right direction and
Tor the improvement Of popular taste.
The idea that education in art l. nee
essary Tor a critic Was pronounced III
correct; professional musicians were
said u be the poorest judges Of music,
and the true progress was pronounced
impossible until the people learned 10
judge Of music for themselves.
Returning t0 the question Of the SYM
phony and the opera, Professor MORti
mentioned the fact that all symphony
music is but an ampliiicatiOn and adap-
ton OF the forms in Use in Italy for
church music, and that operas are Ger
man as much zs Italian.
The difference between the music of
Germany and that of Italy lac attribat-
ed To taste, temperament and climate,
and he gave very clever illustration
Of the point, the conclusion drawn
from it being that although All Italian
Serenade might sound well when heard
10y moonlight from the Bridge of Sighs,
to appreciate Bach one needed three
feet of snow on day like this, asgreat
parlOr with bright fire, pot OF beer
and pipe, and absolute abandonment
to the music.
The American preference for Bach,
SchHmann, and others of that il6, was
aScribed 10 the national nervousness
and need Of SOpOrifics, and the contrast
between the American and Italian tenn
perament was alleged to be the reason
why similar music at q concert would
put the Italian To sleep, instead of
and exciting him as does the
music Of his own composers. The
concert of classical music, with
the ruthless condemnation of all
pieces signed by Italians, received a
little gOOd-natured sarcasm, and a list
of old Italian composers who have
beeen initiated by modern Germans
was repeated.
