Mr.. Bingle's Timely Rebuke.

'EThis is beautiful corn bread, my
DEAR remarked Mr.. Bingle as he sat
at breakfast this morning.
Mrs. Bingle smiled approvingly.
Mr.. B. slit the corn bread, inserted
between the sections a liberal flake of
butter, and then began to eat. A
slightly rank taste manifested itself, and
in a timid way he ventured to remark
that the finest butter he had tasted in
town was at Bevans's restaurant.
Mrs. B. s eyes flashed fire, and there
was look of awful determination on
her face.
"What's the matter with that butter?''
she asked.
Mr.. B. saw at once that he had made
a fd1sJ pas, and cunningly endeavored
to retreat in good order.
'Oh, nothing, my dear" he replied
cheerfully, g nothing the matter with
this but
g But what, now? but what?''
Why, Pm not finding fault with the
butter, my DEAR
What are you talking about that
restaurant butter for then? Isn't this
butter gOOd?''

To Revive Faded Flowers.

Flowers nearly always begin to fade
and droop after being kept for a hours
in water; a few may be revived by sub
stituting fresh, but all may be restored
by the use of hot water. For this pur-
pose place the flowers in scalding water
deep enough to cover about one-third Of
the length of the stems. By the time
this is cold the flowers will have become
erect and fresh. Then cut off the
shrunken ends of the stems, and put
them into cold water. This process has
been proved to be quite eflicacious; and
flowers that have been gathered for some
time, and left without water, or that
have been sent a long distance, may be
made as good as new by a hOt-water
bath Of 1902. 1t is safer to regard this
as the maximum, because forced flowers
are delicate, and few very soft-tex-
tured, hardy kinds are not TO be par
boiled with impunity. The blossoms,
however, must never touch the hot
water at all-Only the stems for the
depth already mentioned. The water
in vases for cut flowers should always be
tepid, or even warm, rather than cold.

Concerning the Memory.

The Me7icUI Press and Circular gives
some entertaining statistics of memory,
from NJ. Delaunav. The inferior races
of mankind, such as negroes, the
Chinese, etc, have more memory than
those of higher type of civilization.
Primitive races which were unacquainted
with the art of writing had a wonderful
memory, and were for ages in the habit
of handing down from one generation
to another hymns as voluminOus as the
Bible. Prompters and professors of
defamation know that women have
more memory than men. French women
will learn a foreign language quicker
than their husbands. Youths have more
memory than adults. It is well devel-
oped in children, attains its maximum
about the fourteenth or fifteenth year, and
then decreases. Feeble individuals of a
lymphatic temperament have more mem
ory than the strong. Students who obtain
the prize for memory and recitation
chiefly belong to the former class. Pa
risian students have also less memory
than those who come from the provinces.
At the Ecole NoYn1ale and other schools
the pupils who have the best memory
are not the most intelligent. The men,
ory is more developed among the peas
antry than among citizens, and among

Travelling Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard of the famous travelling stones of
Australia. Similar curiOsities have re-
Gently been found in Nevada, which are
described as almost perfectly round, the
majority of them as large as a walnut,
and of an irony nature. When dis
tributed about upon the floor, table or
other level surface within two or three
feet of each other, they Immediately

and a half feet, upon being released, at

somewhat comical celebrity, TO join its
fellows; taken away four or five feet, it
remained motionless. They are found
in region that is comparatively level,
and is nothing but bare rock. Scattered
over this barren region are little basins
from few feet to a rod or two in diam
eter, and it is in the bottom of these
that the rolling stones are found. They
are from the size of pea 10 five or six
inches in diameter. The cause of these
stones rolling together is doubtless to be
found in the material of which they are
composed, which appears to be lode

the clergy than among the laity. The
memory remains intact in diseases of
the left side of the brain, and is much
affected in those of the right, from
which it may be inferred that the right
side is more the seat of this faculty than
the left.
From a physiological point of view
memory is diminished by over-feeding,
by physical exercise, and by education,
in this sense, that the illiterate have po-
tentially more memory than those who
know how to read and write. We re-
member, moreover, better in the morn
ing than in the evening, in the summer

MUSCULAR Christianity has found an
other champion in the Rev. G. r.
Fairey, who is padding his own canoe,
the Evangelist by name, along the coast
and on the rivers of Australia. The
craft is y feet long, % inches in beam,
and 20 inches in depth. She Is fitted
with lockers for provisions and charts,
with India-rubber air chambers to in
crease her buoyancy, and with pedal
tiller, which Mr.. Fairey can work as he
sits on the flooring amidships, usinga
single-bladed paddle TO send the boat
along. The Evangelist is, at requiEe-

is decked fore and aft, and carries a
light mast and a lug sail. Her net
weight, including sails and all fittings,
is about 80 pounds. In February last
she made her first voyage, distance of
300 miles, round the irOn-bound north
and east coasts Of Tasmania, calling at
various places, where Mr.. Fairey held
services and distributed books. He was
the guest of an isolated family on Fos
ter's Peninsula during three days
while it was blowing too hard for his
little craft, and finally he arrived at Ho-
bart Town, after having experienced all
kinds of weather.

and arm. His wounds are not considered
dangerous. Baum is notorious bully, and

been separated for some time. Baum
succeeded in soaring Taylor away the day be-
fore, but only for few hours. Taylor
procured revolver this morning and went
back to work on his farm. He was not
there long until Baum came, and seeing
Taylor short distance from the house
pulled off his coat and made for him. Tay-
lor drew revolver and threatened to shoot
Baum if he laid hand on him. Baum
then struck at Taylor, when the latter fred

"H. Nj. S. Pinafore."

The second presentation of ssH. M. s.
Pinafore'' at the Opera House drew out q
larger audience tnan the first. The enter
tainment was free from some of the blem-
ishes that marred the initial performance,
and the abundant applause testified the ap-
probation of the audience. All the partici-
pants acquitted emselveslwell- in the
manner of professionals than amateurs
and the entire performance worked smoothly.
Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon
those who have labored so hard to present the
operetta in such creditable manner, and
we trust that last nights representation will
not be the last Miss Davidson, Mrs.
Thompson, Miss Haynes, and the Messrs.
Smith, Wilkes, Draper, Buckalew, Toles and
Trowbridge have much to be proud of. They
all sang and acted their parts with consum-
mate skill, and need not fear a comparison
with professionals in the roles they assumed.
70 the chorus is also due great credit for
the success which attended the representa-
ton, and all who participated will be cor
daily remembered.
