A never failing source of amusement

almost always on hand. Volumes of
patent Office reports or even small
pamphlets which have become useless
lumber in so many houses, can be made
use Of in this wav. Cut out as many
leaves as seem necessary, perhaps every
other one, and YOU have foundation.
Provide the little ones with a pair of
blunt pointed scissors and let them cut
out and trim neatly, the pictures from pa
pers you do not care to preserve, circulars
OF farm machinery or anything they fan

starch and an old tooth brush, ,Gf you have

filing the book with their collections.
Quite small children find enchantment
in this kind of work. A large picture
may be put in the center of the page, and
the space around it filled with small ones,
Or short pieces of prose or poetry. | have
zen very pretty ornaments for these Ju-
senile scrapbooks cut out of the illustra-

ably tattered with use so that the pic

This amusement need not make much
litter about the house, and the little work
ers can easily learn to pick up the scat
tering scraps after themselves, and wash
up the starch cup and brush after using
it SO that it will be ready for the next
rainy day.

The Growth of q Fashion.

Some thirty years ago sealskin was
common enough. Boxes were covered
with it, gloves and driving-rugs were
made of it, costermongers and cabmen
cut their caps from it, Then came time
when some cunning furrier discovered
how to dye it a rich dark brown, and tc
give it that exquisite soft and downy tex
ture which is its chief charm.
1t was soon found that our cloaks, muffs
dainty little hats collars, cuffs, bags
portemonnaies, for a thousand other arti.
ces of feminine use, it was the most de.
lightful, the most beautiful, the most
indispensable Of all possible materials
The demand for il increased with rapid
ty almost marvellous, and the fashion
instead of wearing itself out, has, if any.
thing, steadily increased. Indeed, the best
Alaska sealskins, like the furs of the sable

command an altogether fancy price, and &

many guineas as fve-and- twenty year!
ago it would have fetched half-crowns
The result is that the luckless seals have

ice. They injure the utility of both.
Quite recently most damaging charge
has been made against ice as an adjunct
of our summer beverages. Its use is said
to be prolific source of typhoid fever.
DR.. Flint, who for several years has been
carefully investigating the matter, has
arrived at this startling conclusion. He
long since became satisfied that latent
poisons or corrupt germs are not de-
stroyed by freezing, as is generally sup
posed, and that therefore ice merely
masks or conceals all the miasmatic dam
gers of the body of water from which
it was gathered. 1t is too much the fact
that the ice supply of many localities is
taken from shallow ponds or stagnant
reserves in the vicinage of large towns,
the contents of which are mostly made
up of surface drainage and strongly in
fused with decaying animal and vege-
table matter.
The danger of using impure ice is not
limited to that which is drank. In re-
frigerators milk, butter, vegetables and
meats are peculiarly subjects to its in
fuence, and many cases have fallen un-
der DR.. Flint's observation where disease
could be traced to no other source than
the using of impure ice, The London
Lancet as long ago as 1859 stated posi-
lively that typhoid and other fevers of
malarial form "never originated de novo
but proceed from specific poison" The
statement of DR.. Flint that freezing does
not destroy fever germs is born out by
the experience of the United States YES
sci in which last winter an attempt was
made to destroy yellow fever germs by
subjecting the vessel to extreme cold
On the return of warm weather the fever
broke out on the same vessel.
1t would seem that the only sure way
of guarding against malaral poisons
concealed in impure ice would be by boil
ing the ice before using it, as higl
degree of heat is certain death to all
forms of germ life or animalcul@, but
such process might injure the ice!

Saturday and Sunday Papers.

There has been change In newspapers
as well as in books within the last few
years. People are demanding better pa
pers to-day, as they are calling for better
books, finer music, purer plays, and more
artistic pictures. The shallow book no
longer satisfies; pure music is not patron
lied: immoral plays are given to empty
houses and artistic daubs find limited
market
The sense and taste of the people have
been improved and "the end is not yet"
Those who read the papers, even hastily,
begin to grow fastidious. They demand
better papers. No better in the sense Of
being "goody- -goody," but in being free
from the daily filth and rubbish that ought
to be allowed to perish unnoticed. Even
the daily papers, which pretend to publish
everything, are gradually putting on re-
spectacle airs, and we predict that within
the next decade, or sooner, there will be
vast improvement in the daily press in
this respect, The old story papers, too,
such as the Ledger and New York Week
y, are slowly but surely, losing their read
ers. They are being supplanted by new
element in the newspaper world. In their
place, and occupying higher ground, have
come into existence class of Saturday
evening and Sunday morning papers.
These papers are independent but not
neutral. They deal with questions of the
hour, givesa large amount of literary mat
ter, original and selected, and they do not
neglect the local affairs of the city in
which they are published.

THE protracted depression of business
(or the last few years i'll this country
has rendered commercial enterprises un-
profitable, and of necessity turned loose
thousands of unemployed laborers from
every branch of manufacturing bust
ness. The natural result of this has
been to thin out the hives of the large
cities, and the turning of thousands Of
artisans to the peaceful pursuits of agri-
culture. During the last two years the
sales of Government, State and railroad
lands have aggregated some 23,O0000O
acres. On the fiscal year ending June
S0th, 1878, the sales reached the hitherto
unprecedented figure of 9,500,000 acres.
In the year ending Goth june 1879,
the sales swell as high as IL, 100000 acres.
5000, 900 or about one half of this extra
ordinary sale consisted of homestead
entries, or say $4,000 farms of 100 acres
each. Here is our safety valve without
a need for revolution. When the hum
of spindles at the factory or the click of
the hammer in the city workshops is
stilled by the stagnation of business our
busy hives Of swarming artisans can scat
ter upon the broad acres of Uncle Sans
awaiting prairies, and the equilibrium
of demand and supply is restored auto
matically without, as in Europe, the need
of an explosion and a change of govern,
ment. And therein lies the safety of our
system and our strength.

Ease of Mind.
Exchanged

Ease of mind is incomparably the most
valuable of all possessions-not the ease
of Incidence, but Of action-the smooth
ness of the unrut1led current, not of the
stagnant pool. The possession is not the
gift of fortune; the gifts of fortune OTTER
destroy it. 1t must be of our own ac
quiring, and is in great measure within
the reach Of all who diligently seek after
it. 1t does not depend upon the amount
of our worldly possessions, but upon oul
mode of using them; not upon our ability
to crafty our desires, but upon our regu
ation of them. 1t is essentially the re
suit of our habits, which habits are en-
tirely within our control.
To enjoy ease of mind, there must be :
feeling that we are fulfilling our duties to
the best Of our power, otherwise we only
scar instead of satisfying our conscience
The possession Of riches, or the pursuit
OF them, bevond the limits of moderation
is unfavorable to this state, because TEN,
perance in the use of worldly enjoyments
is absolutely necessary TO it, and then
comes the responsibility of the applica.
ton Of our superiluty.
How many mems ease must be DESTROYED
by superabundance who would have beer
happy with less temptation, or with the
feeling that less was expected of them.
The pursuit of riches for the sake O
riches units the mind for ease by genera
ting perpetual rcstlessness and anxiety
and by exposing to continual disappoint,
ments; and the same may be said, even in
stronger degree, of an ambitious love o.
those worldly distinctions which, neither
in the pursuit nor in the possession, car
confer any real enjoyment. A steady
advance by honest roads toward those
things which are within our reach with.
out too arduous efforts, and which, being
attained, are worth our having, should
be the aim of all who have their fortune
to make, whilst they who have had theirs
made for them should habituate them.

mcnts and to active and discreet liberaity
toward others. They who diligently
cultivate the habits necessary to attain

above its disturbance. To the mortifica
tons of disappointed ambition they are
not all exposed, and to the crosses of ad
verse fortune very little; whilst unavoid

Yesterday a boy at Peaks Island fell
from one Of the wharves into the water,
and as the water was deep and no one
near except the child's mother and sew
eral small children, was in imminent
danger of drowning. A large Ncwfound-
land dog named Tray, belonging to viii
Harper, the swimmer, saw the child fall
into the water, and he Immediately
plunged in, and seizing the exhausted
little fellow by his clothing, held his
head above water, and swan with him to
the shore. The child was clasped in the
arms Of its nearly frantic mother, and the
dog trotted off as if saving a child from
drowning was an everyday affair Mr.,
Harper, the dogs owner, says the dog has
saved several persons from drowning
since he owned him. Last summer, at
Lake George, the dog saved young girl,
who was capsized in small rowboat, by
swimming to her and holding her above
water until boat came TO her assist
ance. Such dog is worth having.

About ten o'clock yesterday morning
two men met on Sixth street and began
threatening and calling each other names.
One finally called the other liar, and
the two were about to grapple when a
woman opened the door and said:
Gentlemen, are you about TO fight?
ave are" they answered together.
"Then have the kindness TO wait mo-
ment," she continued. "My poor hus-
band has been sick for weeks and weeks,
and is now just able TO sit up, He is very
down.hearted this morning, and if you'll
only wait till I can draw him up to the
window know he will be grateful to both
of you"
She disappeared into the house, and
after one look into each others faces the
men smiled, shook hands and departed to-
gether.

owe money have consented to become
