The Speaking Look and Gesture.

To explain in words takes time and a
just and patient hearing: and in the criti-
cal epochs of close relation patience and
justice are not qualities on which we can
rely. But the look or the gesture ex-
plains things in a breath; they tell your
message without ambiguity unlike speech
they cannot stumble. by the way, on re-
proach or an allusion that should steel
,our friend against the truth; and then
hey have higher authority, for they
re the direct expression Of the heart moi
ct transmitted through the unfaithful
nd sophisticating brain.

Vegetable Instinct.

If pail of water be placed within six
inches of either side Of the stem of a
pumpkin or vegetable marrow, it will in
the course of the night approach it, and
will be found in ihe morning with one OF
the leaves on the water.
If a prop be placed within six inches OF
young convulvus, or scarlet runner, it
will find it. although the prop may be
shifted daily. If after it has twined some
distance up the prop, it be unwound and
twined in the opposite direction, it will
return to its original position, or die in
the.attempt; yet, notwithstanding, if two
of the plants grow near to each other, and
have no stake around which they can
entwine, one OF them will alter the direc-
ton of the spiral, and they will twine
round each other.

Always a Silver Lining.

Always Silver Lining.
(Christian.)
There's never day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has had its time Of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always guide to point US
To the "little wicket gate"
And the angels will be nearer
To a soul that is desolate.

Husband and Wife.

How many Of us know the beautiful
meaning of husband and wife? "Hus-
band" means the "bard of the house." the
support of it, the one that keeps it togeth'
er. The word "wife" means literally "a
weaver" Before the great cotton and
cloth fatories arose one of the principal
employments in every house was the
fabrication of clothing family
made its own. The wool was spun Into
threads by the girls, who were therefore
called spinsters; the thread was woven
into cloth by their mothers, who, accord
ingly, was called the weaver, or the wife

letter from rich lady, asking him to
write for her commemorative poem on

replied that he could not think of taking

THE RUSSIAN PESFiLENCE.
WHY 10 Cause. such Terrible Mortality
Among Ihe PehsaBtIy.

Russia is paying heavy price for ber
recent triumphs- The epidemic which
il now ravaging her eastern province,
apart from its crippling effect upon her
commerce, must necessarily impair very
seriously her military resources, and, OF
all European nations, she is the least
able 70 bear such depletion. Instead OF
possessing, As is frequently stated by
those who ought 10 know better, a
bouudless supply of men, she eau draw
from her sixty millions OF EuropesD
population barely rs many able Bodied
recruits as are furnished by the thirty
eight millions OF France. Some wears
ago, out OF eighty thousand cOnscrlpts
sent UP to Warsaw, fully forty thousand
were rejected for various physical de-
fecE. not inclusive OF snort stature and
this 10 by no means an exceptional In
stance. 1t must be remembered, too,
that even this limited supply has been
fesr.ully reduced 10y the frequent and
unspsring drains OF the last eight yesrs.
1t lie now generally admitted that the
late war must have cost Russia, one way
or another, nearly one hundred thousand
OF her best troops; and when TO this
totsl is supersdded the havoc wrought
by the pestilence OF 1871, and the famine
of 1873, together with the thousands
now perishing along the Basin OF the
Voig1. il will be seen that Russis's camp

Home influence

Few can withstand the influence OF

for his wife is sure to be lady. She

profane and violent language, it should
not come from the mouth OF their father,
and the lad shou Id not be initiated into
the wiles of a eoquette by the painted
face er extravsgant dress of his own
mother. How can he be expect ted to
choose q good wife when the conduct Of
his sisters teaches him that women are
shallow, vain and conceited-that hus

the best for ones self in this world 1t

For one dozen tongues make brine OF
gallon and a half of water (or enough 70
cover them w-ll), two Pi1ts good salt,
one of molasses, or one pound brown SUI

skim, and set to cool. Pack the tongues

tiIely cold, pour il over them, and put
on q weight, let remain ten or twelve
days, take of, drain, and hang them to
smoke about two days, then dry moder
stely, and put away in Sour sack IN

six or eight hours in pot filled With
water. adding more when necessary so 81
tn keep them well covered all the time

the bottom of the barrel with salt, an
pack in the pork closely edgewise, with
rind next the barrel, cover each layer
with salt, and proceed in like manner
until all has been put in. Make
strong brine sufficient to cover the
pork (soft water is best, and there is no
danger of getting it too 1lt), boil, skim,
and pour into barrel while boiling hot.
Have a board cut out round. little
smaller than the barrel. put over the
pork and on it place weight heavy
enought to keep it always under the
brine. If, at any time, the brine froths
or looks red, it must be turned of,
scalded, and returned while hot. Never
put cold brine on old pork until you
wish to lose it. In sailing down new
supply of pork, boil down the old brine,
remove the scum, and then pour 1t on as
directed above
