most people allow the palate to

foolish as TO allow the family FIRE to select
such fuel as best pleases it-gunpowder,
nitro glycerine, &c. Do not increase your

One of the Wealthiest settlers in New
Caledonia is a gentleman from Austria
ha-We will call him Mr.. Brown for
short-who went there some ten or
twelve years ago with but small capital,
and had become enormously rich by
raising cattle for the markets of Nou-
mea. Mr.. Brown was proceeding on his
way through the bush from one Of his
outlying cattle stations, to another. when
he lost his way entirely. He wandered
about till near nightfall, and then came
upon large native village. Hero no
was Hospitality entertained, well fed,
and most deferentially treated by the
great chief whose village it Was-the
Chief Atai, think, whom somo persons
regard as the chief mover and leader of
this years revolt against the French.
Atai was all courtesy to his whito guest,
and when night had fully come, con-
Quoted him himself to the hut set apart
for his nights repose.
Fortunately, Mr.. Brown was acduaint-
ed with the customs Of the country, and
among them, knew the common method
of putting an end to travellers prepara-
tory to feasting upon them. 1t IS as fol-
lows: The traveller is kindly received
nothing occurs to shake his confidence
in his host; he is allotted a cabin to
himself to sleep in. The native huts
usually have one opening, which serves
as door and window both. When the
traveller is supposed to be well settled in
his cabin. this one entrance is set on
fire. Being thatehed and made alto.
getheT Of light wood, it burns very read
lily, and the traveller is cooked as well
as killed. Then the feast begins.
Being acquainted with these details of
New Caledonia life, Mr.. Brown knew
the cabin to which the venerable Atai so
courteously led him might probably be-
come for him both tomb and a cooking
stove unless his wits could save him.
He entered the cabin of the chief, meet
ing courtesy with courtesy, till they were
both fairly within. Then Brown, in the
prime of life and athletic, Atai old and
infirm, the Englishman knew he was
more than a match for the savage. be
closed the door within the hut, planted
his back firmly against it, and sitting
thus with his hand on his revolver, and
his other weapons OstentatiOusly dis
plaved continued his conversation with
the chief The situation remained un-
changed throughout the night. A terri
bic night it was, no doubt, for the En-
glishman, and almost as bad for the
chief, who again and again requested
permission to withdraw. Mr.. Brown as
frequently declaring he could not part
with him-he should not feel safe except
in his company. When daylight was
fully come. Mr.. Brown felt assured that
Atai would not venture to allow his peo-
pie openly to attack an individual so
well known in the settlements as him
self, and both issuing forth together from
the hut, he gladly accepted the escort Of
a native guide, and was safely conducted
to the French settlements, where his ad-
ventures were the theme Of considerable
interest.

otherwise adhere. Indeed, a small guam
tity does remain, which is afterward
pulled of, and classed as sernamby. The
cups, on being empticd, are laid in heap
at the base of each tree, TO be ready for
the following morning. The trees occur
at various distances, from ten to one
hundred yards apart, and as 1 travelled
over the intricate network of muddy
footpaths, continually felt perplexed
and surprised that the natives have not
yet seen the advantages that would be
derived by forming plantations, whereby
more than twice the quantity of cout-
choue might be collected in one-fourth
the time, and at far less cost and labor.
'eThe best milk-yielding tree I exam
ined had the marks of twelve rows of
cups, which had already been put on
this season. The rows were six inches
apart, and in each row were six cups. so
that the total number of wood cuts with
in the space of three months amounted
to seventy-two. 1t grew close to a gapO,
only eight inches above high tide mark,
and, being a vigorous tree, the cups
were usually well filed but with two
years or so of such treatment the tree
would probably be permanently injured.
1t is a common report that the trees
yield the greatest quantity of milk at
full moon.

Home.

Go through the town any evening, and
you will be surprised, if you have never
given tie matter any thought, at the
number of boys and young men who
make practice of squandering their
evenings, to say nothing about the days
spent IN the same manner. Squandering
time is the sin of the age. As a rule,
the idle, indolent boy goes to the bad.
He may have all the elements necessary
to make frst-class business or profes-
sional man, but if he is not instructed
and encouraged to form habits of indus
try, he will be failure, almost inevita-
bly,. There is one way this great evil of
squandering time can be remedied, if
not altogether obviated. Parents must
take the matter in hand-must them
selves set the example OF industry and
frugality, and must see that their chill
dren' initiate the example. Make the
home pleasant and attractive. If the
boys love the street or the loafng place
better than the home, you may rest as
sured that the home is wanting in some
important particular Provide the boys
with interesting reading matter, and en-
courage them to love it. Permit them
to employ their time in any harmless
way that will keep them from idleness
and prifigacy. When you see a boy or
a young man willing TO trifie away day,
a month, or a year in doing the work Of
a disgusting street loafer, you may set it
down that it would not take much to
persuade that boy or that young man to
become a full fedged scoundreL
Teach the boys that no success comes
from squandering time, and that the bet
ter class of people have about as high a
regard for real industrious thief as for
an ignorant, idle loafer. 1t is in the
power of parents to regulate this matter,
and we hope to see our army of trifing,
loafng young men and boys diminish.
Make the home what it should be,
and you have no need to fear the future
of our boys.

1t is not long since several cases OF
arsenical poisoning were traced to Il }
wearing of scarlet and blue stockir,
Next came q somewhat remarkable case
in which the mischief was traced to a
highly-colored hat-lining. More recently
English and German papers, medical
and others, have called attention to dan.
gerous gloves. In the London Times
writer describes the poisonous effect Of
a pair of the fashionable "bronze-green"
silk gloves, when worn by a member Of
his family. After wearing them day
or two the patient was attacked with a
peculiar blistering and swelling Of both
hands, which increased to such an eX-
tent that for three weeks she was COM
PEELED to carry her hands in q sling,
suffering acute pain, and being of course,
unable to either feed or dress herself.
Inquiries among the writer's friends dis
covered three other ladies similarly
afflicted.
A German medical journal reports a
case of serious poisoning by pair of
navy blue kids. Dress goods of Woolen,
silk and cotton have been found to con-
tain arsenic in dangerous quantities;
so also gentlemen's undeTclothlng, socks,
hat-linings, and the Innings Of boots and
shoes. Professor Nicholas, Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, reports
the examination of lady's dress which
contained eight grains of arsenic to the
square foot. In Troy, New York, quite
lately, the death of child was attributed
TO arsenic sucked from veil which had
been thrown over the child's crib to
keep off flies.
At this rate it will soon become
necessary to test for arsenic all goods
purchased before venturing to wear
lem; or else the warranted to
contain no poisonous dye'-will have to
be adopted by all honest and reliable
makers. Hitherto, we believe, the re-
tail dealer has not been held legally re-
sponsible for damage done in this way.
We do not know that he can be-ex-
cept on the charge of dispensing poisons
without a license. Evidently, however,
something should be done to put stop
to the rapidly-increasing evil. If the
obnoxious tints cannot be secured safely
as we'll as cheaply, then they ought to
be prohibited, and another process of
diving made imperative. Our young
chemists will find fruitful field for the
exercise of their inventive powers in
the production of the needed dyes.

Tho old Red Gent.

As the old "red cent" has now passed
out of use, and, except rarely, out of
sight, like the "old oaken bucket" Its
history is a matter Of sufficient interest
for preservation. The cent was first
proposed by Robert Morris, the great
hnancier Of the revolution, and was
named by Jefferson two years after. Il
began to make its appearance from the
mint in 1892. 1t bore the head of Wash
ington on one side, and thirteen links
on the other. The French revolution
soon created rage for French ideas IN
America, which put on the cent instead
Of the head of Washington, the head ot
the Goddess of Liberty-a French Liberty
with neck thrust forward and flowing
locks. The chain on the reverse side
was displaced by the olive wreath OF
peace. but the French liberty was short
lived, and so was her portrait on our
cent. The next head or figure that sue
ceeded this-the staid, classic dame with
a fllet around her hair-came into FASH
ion about thirty or forty years ago, and
her finely chiselled Grecisn features
have been but slightly altered by the
lapse of time.
