incident At an Orphan AsyIum.

The fact that all mothers who desert
their children are not entirely heartless,
saws the PittSburg Chronicle, was demon
strated in a touching manner, few days
since, at one of the institutions for the
care Of the Door. More than two years
since a babe was found on a doorstep
and was handed over to the officers Of
the institution. Some weeks afterWard
a Young woman visited the house and
seemed to be particularly interested in
the welfare of the infant. She repeated
her visits frequently, and as the little
one grew it seemed delighted to see her,
and was always ready to De fOndled and
petted by her. When it was able to
prattle, the female visitor was particu-
larlv delighted, and during her visits
cave the child her undivided attention.
A day or two since the visitor again put
in an appearance, and the child, while
seated in her lap, said, ''I do ike you to
come; YOU nurse me so nice" She was
unable to control herself any longer,
aad although the matron was present
she hugged the little one closely to her
breast, and gave way to tears. The
visitor told the matron that she was the
mother of the child, and that when she
left it where it was found it was queS-
tion of life or death for them both. She
was utterly penniless, and had parted
with the babe, hoping that 1t would be
tenderly cared for and that some day
She would be able to reclaim it. She
said she had found it difficult to remain
away from it, and that her frequent
visits, although ostensibly for another
purpose, were made because she could
hage an opportunity of nursing 1t. She
said she was in no condition now TO take
charge of it, and the superintendent
after making proper inquiries ana glv-
ing her some money. allowed her to take
Il away.

The serpent,s Cave. Manitoba.

About thirty miles northwest Of
Winnipeg there exists large upheayal
of limestone. This strange mountain
of rock stands on the level and stoneless
prairie, and is about eighty feet high
and nearly mile in diameter; the rock
is level on top uncovered with gTavelly
earth. It is on this strange elevation
that the penitentiary has been erected.
But the natural curiosity for which this
rock is celebrated isa subterranean recess
extending towards the interior. To this
cave all the snakes from the immense
extent of encircling prairie congregate
to spend the Winter months. How so
many thousand reptiles of apparently
all ages and sizes know where to find
the only available shelter from the ex-
treme cold of a northern winter, is not
easy to discover, but it is certain that on
the approach of cold weather all the
snakes within many miles of Serpents
Cave repair to their winter home, where
they spend the time in retirement, to
emerge in the spring from their seclu-
sion and scatter over the surrounding
prairie.
Last winter, some of the convicts of
the penitentiary were set to work to
build wall around the entrance to the
cave. When the time arrived for the
snakes to seek their haunts they found
their progress impeded, and soon the
strange gathering was increased by fresh
arrivals from the interior, until many
thousands of snakes were racing and
wriggling around the entrance, vainly
seeking an opening in the wall. Heads
with small eyes and red tongues were
projected in hundreds from every ereYice
in the rock, and a most unearthly hiss
ing was kept up. On the occasion Of
our visit to this remarkable congregation
of reptiles, we were reminded of Milton's
description of the legions of devils
which were transformed into serpents,
only in. the present case the snakes
were not so large as those described by
the poet, but the kissing must have been
equal to that spoken Of in Paradise Lost.

The Romance Of Lace,

The n ost recent improvement in the
production of lace, says Paris cores
pOndent of the Baltimore Bulletin, is the
introduction of shaded tints in the
flowers and patterns giving them the
relief of picture. The effect is produced
by varying the application of the two
stitches used i'll making the fowers-the
"tolle," which forms the close tissue and
the grille" employed in the more open
part of the pattern. The system is so
successfully applied to the laces of France
that it has been adopted with the greatest
success.
There is a legend regarding the intro
duction of this manufacture into Flan-
ders. A poVerty-stricken but pious
young girl was dying of love for young
man whose wealth precluded all hopes
of marriage. One night as she sat weep
ing at her sad fate, a beautiful lady
entered the cottage, and without saying
a word, placed on her knees q green
cloth cushion with its bobbins filed with
fine thread, which on autumn evenings
floats in the air, and which the people
call "fils de la Vierge." The lady, though
of romantic bearing. was a practical
manufacturer. She sat down in silence,
and with her nimble fingers taught the
unhappy maiden how to make all sorts
of patterns and complicated stitches.
As daylight appeared the maiden had
learned her art and the mysterious
visitor disappeared.
The price of the lace soon made the
poor girl rich. She married the man of
her choice, and surrounded by large
family, lived happily and rich. for she
had kept the secret for herself One
evening, when the little folks were play
ing around her knees by the fireside and
her husband sat fondly watching the
happy group, the lady suddenly made
her appearance among them. Her bear
ing was distant; she seemed stern and
sad, and this time addressed her prOtege
in a trembling voice: Here" she said,
''you enjoy peace and abundance, while
without are famine and trouble. l
helped you, you have not helped your
neighbors. The angels weep for you and
turn away their faces" So the next
day the woman arose, and going forth
with a green cushion and its bobbins in
her hands, went from cottage to cottage,
offering to all who would be taught to
instruct them in the art she had herself
miraculously learned. So they also
became rich, and Belgium became fa'
nous for this manufacture.

Two Lost Arts.

1t is possible, says Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher, that in olden times too much
stress was laid on the importance of
training girls to mend and darn so ex-
quisitely that it would be difficult, almost
impossible, to discover that there had
been any necessity for the labor; but if
there was an error in teaching and eX-
acting such perfect work it was a fault
''that leaned to virtues side," and be-
yond all comparison better than the
wretched "botching" to be found on the
raiment of sOme-of many-of the girls
of the present day. Laundresses that
wash for school girls could make strange
revelations of neglect of garments and
careless repairs, were not their lips
sealed through fear of losing good Gus
toners. When broken stitch is allowed
to go uncared for until it has become so
large that the stocking cannot be worn
without some repairs, and is then drawn
up into an ugly bunch-hard enough to
blister the feet-instead of being nicely
darned; or when tear or rip on a dress
or undergarment is pulled together with
thread coarse enough to injure the IA
brio, who is to blame-the mother or the
daughter2 What instruction has ever
been given the young girl about looking
out for the beginning of evil in her
wardrobe2 Has she been taught to darn
or mend every rent or rip the first posi-
bic instant after it was discovered, and
to do it neatlyP Oil mol Her music
or drawing lessons, her French and Ger
man, and dancing, are apparently of
more importance than such useful work
as mendfng or darning. If young lady
has, what, in these days, is the rare skill
of compelling her needle to assist herin
carrying out all the acquisitions which
will enable her, with scant materials, tol
keep herself neatly and genteelly clad
if she can turn, remodel, piece neatlyd
cover the lack of material by some sim
pie and appropriate trimming until she
makes an old dilapidated garment look
"amaist as weePs the new" she will have
cause all the days of her life to thank
the mother who led her in the way she
should go; and whatever changes and
vicissitudes may be sent she has far less
to fear than those who, in prosperous
days, are fanciful ornaments of their
homes, but when the evil days come,
will, through their ignorance, become
oppressive burdens upon those who
must provide for their support.

The PoIicemanys CInh.

The attention of great scientific minds
has of late years been turned to the
policeman's club. This useful instru-
ment needs improvement. An energetic
villain can twist it from the hands of a
less physically developed minion of the
law and thus, fearful odds against him
cast" OF course this is very wrong, but
unhappily the criminal classes need
educating up to that fact, and on this
point their education has been fearfully
neglected. The scientific minds hereto
fore alluded to, are determined to do
what little they can, to convince the
stalWart ruffian that little clubs were
never made to beat policeman's heads.
One invention has been patented which
makes the baton of authority a hollow
mOckery. A number Of barbs lie in
wait in the club. When the villain still
pursues the policeman and grasps the
club, a secret spring lets slip the barbs
Of war, and the villain acknowledges his
mistake by letting go the club and using
those choice expressions Of language
which occur to him as doing justice to
the situation. When the policeman
gently pats arecalcitrant prisoner on the
head, the barbs do not operate, only
coming forth when an attempt is made
to jerk the club from the policeman.
An officer in New Haven has patented
another kind of club which is more
harmless but not less convincing. 1t
has a sheath Of brass, eolored to resem-
ble rosewood, and so fastened with
springs that, when a rough seizes it,
it slipsoff leaving the club ready for use.
This unexpected transformation so puz-
zles the viii Of the persevering villain
that his mind naturally wanders in an
investigation of the causes thereof, and
while engaged in this search the police
man convlnces him of the error of his
ways by few well-directed blows on
the head. 1t is to be hoped inventors
will give their thoughts to this impOr-
tant matter. Now is the time to get up
clubs.

Things to Remember.

That fish may be scaled much easier
by dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
That tish may as well be scaled if de-
! sired before packing down in salt, though
in that case do not scald them.
Salt fish are quickest and best fresh
ened by soaking IN sour milk.
That milk which is turned or changed
may be sWeetened and rendered fit for
use again by stirring in little soda.
That salt will curdle new milk; hence
in preparing milk porridge, graVies, etc,
the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared.
That fresh meat after beginning to
sour, will sWeetcn if placed out of doors
in the cool over night.
That clear boiling water will remove
tea stains and many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain and thus pre-
vent its spreading over the fabric.
That ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth also
from the hands.
That teaspoOnful of tuFpentine boiled
with your white clothes viii aid the
whitening process.
That boiled starch is much improved
by the addition of little sperm, or a lit
tie salt, or both, or little gum arabic
dissolved.
That beeswax and salt will make your
rusty fat irons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie lump of wax in a rag and
keep it for that purpose. Whenthe irons
are hot, rub them first with the wax rag,
and then scour with paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.
That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions, and applied
to bedsteads, is an unfailing bed-bug
remedy, and that a coat of whiteWash is
ditto for the walls of log house.
That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes which have been hardened by wa
ter and render them as pliable as new.
That kerosene will make tin tea kettles
bright as new. Saturate a wooden rag
and rub with it. 1t will also remove
stains from the clean vanished furniture.
That cool rain water and soda will re-
move machine grease from washable
fabrics.
Every one of these recipes is unfaiIing.
Cut out this slip and place it in q book
for reference.

A Rows Sermon.

The YOUNG Folks Gazette teIls the fol-
lowing story: Mr.. Harry was riding
slowly along the dusty road, looking in
all directions for a stream or even
house where he might refresh his tired,
thirsty horse with a good draught of
water. While he was thinking and
wondering he turned an abrupt bend in
the road and saw before him comforta-
ble-looking farmhouse, and at the same
time boy ten or twelve years old came
out into the road with a small pail and
stood directly before him.
what do you wish, my boy p said
Mr.. Harry, stopping his horse
Would your horse like drink, slrP'
said the boy, respectfully.
Indeed he would, and was wondering
where I could obtain it"
Mr.. Harry thought little Of it, suppos-
ing of course that the boy earned few
pennies in this manner; and therefore
he offered him bit of silver, and was
astonished to see him refuse it.
'I would like you to take it, j" he said,
looking earnestly at the child, and OBJ
serving for the first time that he imped
slightly.
Indeed, sir, I don't want it. 1t is
little enough can 90 IOr Hlysen OF any
one. l am lame and my back is bad,
sir, and mother says no matter how
small a favor may seem, if it is all we
are capable of, God loves it as much as
he does a very large favor, ard this is
the most 1 can do for others. You see,
sir, the distance from Painsville is eight
miles to this spot, and happen to know
there is no stream crossing the road that
distanc j, and the houses are at some dis
tance from the road, and so, sir, almost
every one passing here is sure to have
a thirsty horse"
Mr.. Harry looked down into the gray
eyes that were kindling and glowing
with the thought of doinggood to others,
and a moment later he logged of, pom
dering deeply upon the quaint little ser
mon that had been delivered so mnO-
Gently and Unexpectedly.
