will say:
Duncan, if you do not gift prayer

And so it was that Duncan will stay
in the stern of the boat, and he will
kneel down, and he will say:
80 Lord, it is fifteen years since I
lief asked you for anything; but it will
be another fifteen years before 1 will
ask yOa for anything more, if you will

And then, sure enough, at this mo-
ment there was great sound of the
boat going on the beach, and Donald,
that was up at the bow, he will cry
out:
"Stop, Duncan, do not pray any
more do not be beholden to any body,

Soups.

Soup is such decided addition to
the dinner table that it is surprising that
it is not a more common dish in the
farming districts; but / know of many
families who never haveit on their tables,
and yet live very we'll. But soup is
too much trouble to prepare, and so the
dogs and cats share many bone or slice
of meat that would go very far to the
making of relishing dinner. Tomatoes
are also the greatest addition to all soups
but chicken broth, and they may i'm
prove that, but never tried them.
Slice ten large tomatoes thinly into the
stock and boil fer an hour; strain
through sieve to take out the seeds,
or canned tomatoes may be used. Melt
two tablespoonfuls butter in the bottom
of the soup kettle. stir into it two table
spoons of wheat flour or corn starch.
aud let it COOK until thick, stirring all
the time. Add the soup slowly, so as
to mix the -four smoothly into it. Boil
the soup ten minutes to cook the -four,
and some onions, turnips, cabbages.
carrots, celery, and tomatoes, in small
quantities, are decided additions to all
kinds of Soups.-C0unt,y Gentleman.

A family while at the breakfast-table
one morning pledged to observe the
strictest veracity for that day. A MEM
Der of the family tells the "conse-
quences in o communication to the
MteIligencer:
As first fruit of the resolve, We
asked the one who had suggested it,
"What made you so late at breakfast
this morning?"
She hesitated, began with, " Because
I couldn't then, true to her
compact, said:
"The truth is, I was lazy and didn't
hurry, or might have been down long
ago."
Presently another one remarked that
she had been very cold, adding
never was so cold in my life."
An inquiring look caused the last
speaker to modify this statement in

Straw Is worth money on the farm,
first for bedding animals, second for
throwing into the feeding and barn
yards, and third, if there be surplus,
for rotting where it may happen to lie.
All this Of course with reference to its
ultimate value as manure. Yet large
class of farmers in the West, yearly
burn vast quantities of straw, thus re-
ducing it simply to its inorganic ele-
ments.

How ARUNDEL CASTLE IS KEPT UP.-
BY some extraordinary arrangement
centuries ago, the fabric of Arundel
Castle, the Duke OF Norfolk's famous
ancestral seat in Surrey, was to be main
tanned out OF the rents arising from the
ground on which stand Norfolk and
Arundel streets in London. Toward
the close of the last century the Duke,
whose family has long been impatient
of this obligation, allowed the moneys
arising from this source to accumulate,
and endeavored to break the arrange
ment compelling this particular use,
but in vain. A sum of 81 ,000, 900 was
consequently expended upon the castle,
and an immense addition made to it, of
which the ground floor was entirely OF
stone the next fitted entirely, floors
and all, with mahogany, and the floor
above that again with oak. Probably
the aforesaid arrangement has now been
set aside. There are still one or two
families in England who are compelled,
in compliance with requests, to spend
a certain annual sum on the purchase
of plate, and ingenuity is exhausted in
devising means Of compliance. The
hinges of the doors in one OF such man.
sions are of silver.
They do these things better in
France. Here, for instance, is q model
French divorce, which we commend to
angry husbands and wives who are
fighting each other, tooth and nail, in
the public courts and elsewhere. Julie
Talma, wife of the great tragedian, re-
lates in letter to a friend how she aud
her husband were divorced. eve went
to the municipality, he and I, in the
same carriage; We talked on the road on
different subjects, like people going to
the country. My husband gave me his
hand to descend; we sat down side by
side. and we signed as if it had been al
ordinary contract. L hope I said,
that you will not deprive me entirely
of your presence ; that would be too
cruel. You will come and see me some
times?' Certainly he replied, with 40
embarrassed air, always with the great
est pleasure was pale, and my voice
trembled with emotion in spite Of all
my efforts" There is real triumph
of civilization. But the ordinary di-
vorce can be likened only to parting
of infatuated cats and dogs.

his process of making steel, ranks as
one of the most brilliant inventions of
the century. 1t converts pig-iron into
steel in few minutes, and has reduced
the price of steel rails per ton from
$500 to $50. Ten times as much steel
is used in the world now as was used

savage Monsters.

Justifying Miss Rose Meekers let
ter on the Indians and the Indian pol
lev of the country, Mrs. Swisshelm IN
a letter to the Chicago 1r'bune says
The Indian combines in himself the
bastialitv of the swine, the ferocity of
the tiger, and the ingenuity of the de
mon. Brave men endure athls hands
the most horrible If tortures and the
outraaes perpetrated onmatrons. maid
ems and even infants, partake equally
Of these three Indian characteristics.
But the maddening feature Of the
whole horror is the knowledge that
the crimes are committed by the pro-
teges, the wards of that great govern
ment to which the victims owe allegi-
ance, and which they support by pay
ing taxes and giving their lives when
called upon-of that government which
taxes them to supportthese criminals
in idleness. Every victim of an In
dian outbreak knows that every Indian
knows that the christianity and be-
nevoleuce of the land will be stirred to
it's lowest depth to save him from the
punishment due, a thousand fold, to
his unutterable crimes. Every Christ
iarfmaid and matron, undergoing the
naIncless horrors to which hundreds
have been subjected, knows that the
brutal iiend who makes her body unfit
for souls residence, knows that
Christian matrons, in snowy caps and
kerchiefs, will besiege the White
House, with prayers for his pardon,
and that, through their efforts, his
crimes will be rewarded, and he pre-
served to repeat them.

A new way 10 Ereat Dirhthsria.

Quite discovery in the treatment
of diphtheria has been made in Boston.
A young man whose arm had been am
putated, was attacked by diptheria
before healing took place, and instead
of the matter incident to the disease
being deposited in the throat, the
greater portion appeared on the wound
ed arm, and the diphtheria was very
light and easily managed. DIR. Davis,
of Mankato, protited by this, and in
his next case of diphtheria hlistered
his patients chest, and ON this blister
ed part the chief deposits appeared.
This was also an easy case of the dis
case. The theory of DIR. Davis is that
diphtheria usually appears in the
throat because of the thinness Of the
lining of the throat. Hence, when
the blister breaks the skin upon any
part of the body, the disease appears
there. -Er.

Athleticism and Cruelty.

Attention is very properly called by the
Philadelphia doctors to the spectacle of q
.'woman show" now before the public in
their city. By the terms of the match in
which the women are there engaged, they
must make four thousand quarter miles in
four thousand consecutive quarter hours.
Four thousand quarter hours run through
forty-one days and sixteen hours, and for
that extended period these women can
never get good sleep-since even with the
best strategy on the part of their attendants
they can never be off the course for more
than twenty minutes at any one time. There
is no doubt that the women are sometimes
simply dragged around the course while
asleep. It is u cruel, brutal and disgusting
exhibition. And this is done in the name
Of the enthusiasm for athletic sports. We
are as much an advocate OF those sports as
any one, but we would like to see them
always confined to their legitimate limits
and to the rational purpose Of the improve
mont Of the physical frame Of the people.
Pedestrian exercise has become popular
with our people lately, and should have
legitimate encouragement. 1t will be a
public misfortune to have it degraded by
brutal catch-penny shows like the one
objected to, aud we hope the police of
Philadelphia will act on the suggestion Of
the physicians and stop it.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

as he says, to complain against the levity
displayed in these columns on religious
things, writes from Selma, Ala, and cites
two instances which do not bear upon the
charge ut all. and with it fails to send his
name, ought to be passed by in silence.
But it may be well for the benefit of others
to add that except when the topic gives the
impression of sensationaIism or frivolity
we do not discuss it or refer to it with levity.

thirty eight hundred years old to be given

ment to perseverance in good works Mr..
Odell will discuss sensationalism; Mr..

world will be rebuked by Mr..

divine and human forgiveness will be
made by Mr.. Afiieck. Light will be thrown
on dark doctrine by Mr. Kramer; Christ's
temptation in Jerusalem will be explained
