ence OF fire. damp in mines. The prin-

| LIE question arises: SIS there any
connection between the tiresome and
unvarying drudgery of the life of
farmers wife and the meaningless iab-
Der OF an insane asylum" for it is we'll
known that farmers wives form no
small proportion of the unfortunates
found in insane asylums. It is certain
~ fair to presume that the question
should be answered in the affirmative,
for endless monotony will wear the fiber
Of any mind, and cause alteration, or
else react on the body and create dis
ease, and such a result is all the more
likely if overwork be added to monot-
ony and drudgery.-Dr. Foote's Health
Monthly.
How TO xTEMpoE1zE RAD1sHEs.-
Radishes ma, be grown in a very few
days by the following method: Let
some good ralish seed soak in water for
twenty four hours, then put in bag and
expose it to the SUM-. III the course of
the day termination will commence.
The seed must be sown in q well-man-
ured hotbed, and watered from time to
time with lukewarm water. By this
treatment the radishes will in a very
short time acquire a sufficient bulk and
be good to eat. If it be required to get
good radishes in winter during the
severe cold, an old cask should be
sawn in two, ana one-haH of it filled
with good earth. The radish seed
beginning to shoot as before must be
then sown in, the other half of tie. bar
rel put on top Of the full one, and the
whole of the apparatus carried down
into the cellar. For Watering, lukewarm
| water should be used as before. In the
course of five or six days the radishes
will be fit to eat: Nea0 Eng gland Far

! JUP1TER.-Jupiter's diameter is about
eleven times that of the earth. and his
mean density is about q quarter that
of the earth, or about q third more than
water. Now, a bulky body may be CON-
posed of heavy materials, and still, as C.
whole, be light, like an iron ship or
lump of pumice stone, that will float in
water. The pumice lump is light on
| account Of its vascular formation. IN
