Ladies In Clubs.

There are two clubs In London to
which men and women have equal
rights of membership. The Albemarle,
in Plccadilly, is governed by a commit
tee composed Of equal numbers of both
sexes, and the members, rather over 400,
are maintained carefully in the same
proportion. Lately a difficulty has
arisen in the management. No smoking
room had been allotted to the ladies, so
they were driven to carry their cigar
cites into the ~gentlemen's room. To
this the gentlemen more than agreed,
rather encouraging the Invasion, as the
rest of the house was so triste in its dig
nifty. One day Mrs. GrUndy came to
know of these pleasant little evening
meetings, and now on the walls of the
corridors appears a notice in informing
ladies that they are forbidden to cross
the threshold of the coveted apartment.
The Russell Club, in Regent street, is
proprietary, the members having no
responsibility beyond their subscrip-
tiOns, ladies paying half that of gentle
men. The apartments on the ground
floor, reading-room, boudoir, drawing
room and dining-room are public rooms,
used by ladies and gentlemen alike.
Upstairs are billiard and smoking rooms
sacred to the stronger SEX. Ladies here
do not smoke at all, as their apartments
resemble more the coffee and draw ng.
rooms of a large hotel.

Blunders of the Old Masters.

Many Of the old masters made anus
ing and curious plumbers in their
works. Tintoret represented the els
raelites Gatherying Mama" armed
with guns. Cigoli painted the aged
Simeon at the circumcision of Christ
with a pair Of spectacles on his nose,
and Rubens committed the same error
in his famous picture of MARY An
mounting the Feet of Christ" In a
picture of Christ Healing the Sick"
by Verrio, the spectators are repre-
sented as wearing periwigs on their
heads. Albert Durer painted the ex-
pulsion of Adam and Eve from the
Garden of Eden by an angel in a
tlounced dress. The same artist IN Il
picture of ''Peter Denying Christ" in
PRODUCES a soldier smoking a German
pipe. A Flemish picture of the Wise
Men worshipping the infant Christ has
one of them depicted in a large white
surplice, and in boots and spurs. In
JllS llCOlSIu OuS ulSSS uC 10 ItpICSGU-
ted in the act of presenting the Child
with a model of a Dutch .man-of-war.
An artist of the same school, in a paint
ing of Abraham Offering up his son
Isaac, the patriarch, instead of using a
knife, as described in the Scriptures, is
holding a blunderbus to the head of
Isaac, Belini has pictured the Virgin
and Child In the act of listening to a
violin. In another picture he has
drawn King David playing a harp at
the marriage of Christ with st. Gather
inc. In a French picture of the "Last
Supper" the table is ornamented with
tumblers filed with cigar lighters. The
browning blunder is shown in a paint
ing Of the Garden of Eden, in which
Adam and Eve are represented in all
their primitive simplicity, while in the
immediate background appears a hunter
in a modern sporting suit, in the act of
shooting ducks with n gun.

SCIENTIFIC.

Vegetable MIX and Wd1.-Neatly fifty
years ago, NJ. B~OHsslngault, the emin-
ent French chemist, made some inter-
esting observations on the juice OF the
galaetodendron, commonly known as
the "cowtree." Some specimens Of the
plant now on exhibition In the Champ
de Mars, Paris, have enabled him 70
prosecute his study Of this vegetable
milk. The cow-tree grows to a height
OF 90 to 90 feet. The Indians ''mlIk"
the tree by making missions In the
trunk. The nutritive qualities OF the
milk are undoubted. N. Bo~usslngault
took IL several months with coffee or
chocolate. IL Is much more consistent
than cows milk, and has a weakly acid
reaction. In air itsoon cOagulates into
a kind Of cheese. This contains a COM
pick fatty matter, melting at 80 deg. O.,
very similar to beeswax, out OF which
excellent candles were made. There is
also present a nitrogenxed matter sim
liar to albumen or vegetable fibrine.
The remainder consists Of saccharine
substances, salts Of potash, lime, mag
nesia, phosphates. and water. IL diff
fers from cows milk in its quantitative
composition, and is like cream, the con
stituents being mainly butter, 80; SUI
gar, 3; phosphates, c~asein, and albu-
men, 4; water, IS. M. Boussingault
thinks the cow-tree might be usefully
naturalized in Algeria; but adds that 1t
would be less valuable on account of
the milk than On that OF the wax, which
could be got from 1t in abundance. The
tree is a native of South Africa, but
wculd thrive in the southern parts of
the United States.

BegOne, Dull Care

With every circling year there Is
much to laugh and much to cry about
it, but enjoyment is ever in the ascen-
dant, else we should be, like Niobe, all
tears. With the greatest business acti.
witty there is always some unpleasant
drawback. In a rush of trade we are
too often physically and mentally Grip
pied by o~ver-eXertion and our desire 10
amass wealth rapidly, whereas in more
quiet times our wearled brains and bo-
dies find rest. We have then more time
to devote to social enjoyment, and our
families really begin to know us better
than they did when we were constant
ly talking of the mart, "where nothing
breeds but "gold." We may not have
quite as much ready cash now as for
merly, but wen with our somewhat Ii
mlted supply we find serious inconve-
nlence IN carrying around the silver
dollars of our daddies. The truth is
man never was and never will be con-
tented, and for the keeping alive of his
ambition 1t IS a wise provision that 1t
is SO; but these times are no worse,
looked squarely in the face, that many
that we look back upon as halcyon
hours. Our theatres are crowded, our
streets are always filled with we'll
dressed throngs, and tho majority Of
people have the necessaries and even
the luxuries of life. Why then croak
about hard times and dull times and
monetary embarrassmentsp Some people
are always In trouble on account of
their want of foresight and lack of bust
ness capacity, and if they lived in ITO
pia they would be In an unilonrishing
condition, If that were possible. Sufli-
Client unto the day is the evil thereof,
and as we only actually live In the pre-
sent let us enjoy IL, and consider those
times good which furnish us with crea
lure comforts and the pleasures of hap
by homes. In the words which brought
comfort and strength to the soul of
Paul Flemming In his weakest mo-
ments: Look not mournfully Into the
Past. 1t comes not back again. Wisely
improve the present. IL is thine. Go
forth to meet the shadowy future, with
out fear, and with a manly heart. So
shall you gain confidence In your neigh
Dor, and thus the wheels OF trade, we'll
oiled by the spirit of cheerfulness, will
spin morriy down the ringing groves of.

Our Tenure of Life

Depends in great measure upon our regard for
or neglect Of the laws Of health. II we violate
them we cannot expect to make old bones
But that the span of existence allotted to a
naturally delicate constitution, or one which
has been shaken by disease, may be materially
jengthened, is a fact of which we have daily
proof. The vivifying and restorative influence
OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon the failing
physique affords a striking illustration of the
power OF judlcious medication to strengthen
the hold on life. Restored digestion, complete
assimilation, renewed appetite. sound repose,
these are among the benefits conferred upon
the debilitated by that supreme renovant.
With q circulation enriched, a frame invlgorat-
ed, and a nervous system tranquilizsd, the in
valid after q course OF the Bitters, feels that
his li~fe-tenure is no longer the precarious
thing that it was--that he may yet enjoy a
green old age"

Extraordinary Source Of Lead Poison
tng.-Ld Presse Medicdle Beige of last
month describes, on the authority of a
Geneva medical journal, a remarkable
source of lead poisoning. For the last
three years wicker-work perambulators
(baby carrlages) protected against the
inclemency of the weather by a self
folding cape made of American leather
and colored with various gray tints,
have been much used in Germany, es-
pecially Berlin aad in the Rhenish dis
tricts of Prussia. For some time 1t has
been noticed that many children who
had been in the habit OF using these
perambulators presented all the symp-
toms of lead-poisOning. The heat of the
sun appears to have exercised some in
huence on the production 10 these cases
of accidental poisoning, for they only
occurred in the month of July. The
Society of Hygiene took the opportun-
ity of examining some pattetns of the
leather covering, which appeared to be
made up of several materials. The pres
ence of a large quantity of lead having
been easily detected, a quantitave anal
ysls was made, when, to the astonish-
ment OF the analysts, as much as AZ Z
per cent. of metallic lead was found in
the material examined. 1t was only
necessary to burn with a lighted match
a small piece of this American leather
to see drops of lead escaping from it.
Another piece of the stuff was, or July
"a, exposed for six hours to the direct
rays of the sun, by which means the
varnish was raised and began to peel
off. 1t appears also that in many in
stances these perambulatOrs served as
cradles, a circumstance which, of
course, aggravated the danger attend
ing their use,

SMALL FARMS Small farms make
near neighbors; they make good roads;
they make plenty of good schools and
churches; there is more money made in
proportion to the labor; less labor is
wanted; everything is kept neat; less
wages have to be paid for help less time
is wasted; more is raised to the acre,
because it is titled better; there is no
watching of hired men the mind is not
kept in q worry, a stew a fret all the
time. There is not so much fear of a
drought, of wet weather, of a frost, of
small prices. There is not so much
money to be paid out for agricultural
implements. Our wives and children
have time to read, to improve their
minds. A small horse is soon curried
and the work on a small farm is al
ways pushed forward in season. Give
US small farms for comfort.

Moulding Sand for Casting Brass or
Iron.-The various kinds of good mould
ing sand employed in foundries for
casting iron or brass have been found
to be almost uniform chemical compo-
sition, varying in grain or the aggre-
gate form only. 1t contains between SO
and SO parts slick, or grains of sand,
and from 4 to 8 parts clay, and a little
oxide of iron, in each 100 parts. Monld-
ing sand which contains lime, msgnesia,
manganese and other oxides of metal, is
not applicable, particularly for the
casting of iron or brass. Such sand is
either too close, will not stand or retain
its form, or 1t will cause the metal to
boil through Its closeness.

up with 60 drops Of strong hydrochlOric
acid and 1kOz. of alcohol. The result
ing liquid Is then to be diluted with a

corrode steel pens; is affected neither
by concentrated mineral acids nor by
strong lye. If the aniline black solution

GIVING A HORSE MEDICINE. - FIRE.
quently, medicines are given to horses
in the form of a ball, because the adj
mlnstration of a drench is a much more
troublesome affair; and in almost all
cases more or less OF the dose is wasted.
Sometimes, however, a liquid medicine
is to be preferred, as in collie or belly
ache, when the urgent nature of the
symptoms demand a rapid action which
a ball, from its requiring time to dis
solve, has not; and, besides this, a ball
cannot contain any Of the spirituous
cordials. The best instrument for CIV
ing a horse a drench Is the horn of an
OK, cut obliquely, so as to form a spout.
Bottles are frequently used. but their
fragile nature always renders them
dangerous. On giving a drench the
tongue is held the same as for the de-
liver of q ball, not pulling 1t out to its
full extent, which Is dangerous on ac-
count of choking; the head should be
elevated but not horizontally. The
drench is then poured into the mouth
in small draughts, after which the
tongue is let 20, but the head kept up
till it is all swallowed. The horse can
not swallow while the tongue is held
out, neither can he swallow if the head
is held too high, and the fluid is apt to
enter the windpipe, and the lungs. AL
lowance should always be made for
some waste In giving a drench.
