Hunting the Moose,

Moose calling commences about the
1st of September and ends about the
18th of October. A full moon occur
ring between the middle and end of Sep
TENDER is the best of all times. The
best plan in calling is to fix upon per-
manent camp and make little expedi-
tions of two or three days duration
from it, returning to rest and get fresh
supplies. Then YOU enjoy the true lux
ury of hunting. Then you feel really
and thoroughly Independent and free.
The Indian carries your blanket, your
coat, little tea, sugar and bread,
kettle and two tin pannikins. The hun
ter has enough to do to carry himself.
his rifle ammunition, small axe, hunt
ing knife, and pair of field-glasses.
Thus ACQUIRED, clad in flannel shirt
and homespun combinations, moose
hide moccasins on your feet your trous-
ers tucked into woollen socks, your
arms unencumbered with that useless
article, coat, you plunge into the
woods, the sun your guide in clear
weather, your pocket-compas if it is
cloudy, the beasts and birds and fishes
your companions; and wander through
the wood at will, sleeping where the
fancy seizes you, calling" ii the nights
are calm, or still hunting on windy
day. Calling is the most fascinating.
Disappointing, exciting of all sports.
You may be lucky at once and kill your
moose the first night you 60 out, per-
haps at the very first call you make.
You may be weeks and weeks, perhaps
the whole calling season, without get
ting y shot Nlooso-calling is simple
enough in theory; in practice il is I'M
mensely' difficult of application. 1t
consists in initiating the cry of the ami
NAL with hollow cone made OF birch
bark, and endeavoring by this means
to call up moose near enough to get
shot at him by moonlight or in tho
early morning. He will come straight
up to you, within few yarrs-wa!k
right over you almost answering.

Providing for Grant.

There is a portion of the republican
party that will never be happy until Cen
eral Grant is provided for in some way or
other Just now there are three PROPOSE
tons in his interest before the country.
The New York Times and number
of rich men want to raise fund of
a quarter of million of dollars to
provide a life pension for him. The
politicians Of Pennsylvania who follow
the lead of Senator Don Cameron pro-
pose to elect him United States senator
from that state, and the president, in his
message, suggests that he be made captain
general of the army Nobody seems to
know what Grant desires since he failed
in getting the nomination at Chicago. 1t
is clear, however, that he wants something,
and thinks that the country owes him
great deal more than it has given him, i.
he were satisfied to remain in retirement
we should hardly hear of so many
schemes in his behalf. 1t is true that
Grant has rendered the country great service
but it is also true that he has been honorcd
and rewarded as few other men have been
in any age or in any country In trying to
keep himself before the public, however,
he runs the risk of becoming tiresome. He
Is in the prime Of life yet and power, per-
haps, is sweet to HIM. lie doesn't want to be
laid on the shelf He is in danger, how.
ever, Of injuring his fame and of losing the
respect and esteem, which he now enjoys
by continuing thrusting himself forward
for additional honors and rewards. 1t
seems to us that he would consult his own
interests by seeking dignifed retirement.
1.-THE people need his services again they
will not full 10 notify him

Division OF Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes, and each minute again into
sixty seconds? This question is often
asked by intelligent children; and the
answer is this: We have sixty divisions
on the dials Of our clocks and watches,
because the old Greek astronomer.
Hipparchus, who lived in the second
century before Christ, accepted the
Babylonian system of reckoning time,
that system being sexigesimal The
Babylonians were acquainted with the
decimal system; but for common or
practical purposes they counted by soSss
and sdri, the soSSOs representing sixty,
and the SdroS sixty Zines six--thirty-
six hundred. From Hipparchus, that
mode Of reckoning found its way into
the works of Ptolemy, about $50 A. d.,
and hence was carried down the stream
of science and civilization, and found
the way to the dial-plates of our clocks
and watches.

SEA.SICKNEss. Nitrate of amyl, in five
drop doses, is said to exert favorable in
fluence in sea-sickness. But this must de-
pend, necessarily, on certain conditions of
the system. OF the various theories about
sea- sickness, one is that it is owing to the
food tossing about in the stomach, and
teasing it and the diaphragm with its jacti-
tations, nausea and vomiting being the
natural consequence another theory is
that the stomach has no such relation to
the malady, its cause, in fact, being con-
gestion of the brain and cord, which acts
IN reflex manner on the stomach. A
more reasonable theory is that most cases
are due, in some degree, TO each of the
foregoing, and therefore that with loaded
stomach ard congested liver but little can
be expected from amyl; whereas, in cases
more purely nervous, especially as are seen
in women, the nitrate of amyl offers a very
fairly successful remedy-one that warrants
much more varied and extensive trial than
it has hitherto received.

TIE DEMAND FOB QUILL PENS.

The earliest pens, such as were usel for
writingson papyrus with a fluid ink, were
made of reeds. Reed pens are still In use
in Arabia, as they suit theArabic charac-
ter better than quill pens. These reeds
are collected near the shores of the Persian
Gulf, whence they are sent to various parts
of the East. Quill pens are chiefly sup
piled by the goose, swan and crow-the
ostrich, turkey, and other birds OCCASION
ally contributing. Crow quilts are usually
employed in fine drawings, on account of
the fine point to which they can be brought.
Goose quilts are employed for ordinary
writing; but swan and turkey quilts, being
larger, are preferable for copying. Two
principal sorts of quilts are known in com
merce-viz., Dutch quilts, which are trans
parent and glass-like; and Hamburg ouills.
which are milk-white and clouded Dutch
quilts are much esteemed; the Dutch were
the first to find out the art of preparing
quilts for market, by removing the oil that
impregnates them, and prevents the ink
from flowing freely along the pen Quilts
are obtained in the greatest quantities
from the countries along the Baltic: Ham,
burg is still the principal place for prepar-
ing and exporting them. Next to the
Hamburg and Dutch quilts, those of Riga
are much liked, especially in England and
Scotland The manufacture of steel pens
does not appear to have diminished the de-
mand for quilts. In 1855 Britain imported
independently OF home supply, 2G, 500, 900
goose and swan quilts. The quilts used
are the five outer feathers of the wing
which are classified according to the order
in which they are fixed in the wing the
second and third being the best. With
proper management, a goose may afford
twenty quilts during the year. In the fens
OF Lincolnshire, geese are kept in large
numbers. During the breeding season
they are lodged around the owners house.
A goose-herd, it is said, can distinguish
every goose in the flock by the tones Of its
voice.

CAUSES OF ILLHEALrH AMONG woMEN.

Miss Anita E. Tying, NJ. D., of Provi-
dence, contributes a paper on 1.-The Causes
OF Ill-Health among Women to the an
nual report of the Rhode Island State
Board of Health, which deserves republi-
cation as sanitary tract. She places ig-
norance as among the chief of these evil
causes, and suggests that one remedy lies
in the dissemination of proper knowledge
by sanitary authorities. instruction is
needed in the duties of motherhood and in
scientific cooking, especially the preparing
of proper nourishment for the sick. She
thinks there is room for the better organi-
cation of household labor, and that ii we
had women architects much improvement
might follow in the arrangement OF houses.
If the masses were properly taught to
abandon their half-starving diet" of
bread and tea, and excessive use of patent
tonic medicines, much good would result.
She quotes authorities to- prove that as a
rule people are under-fed, and that the use
of stimulants and the consequent physical
and moral degradation, can and should be
prevented. 1t is easy, she remarks, to be
good Christian if one has sound spine
and sound stomach; so it is easy, if one
has a sound stomach well supplied, to re-
resist the temptations of liquor and to re-
frain from crime. 1t is said that insanity
is on the increase, especially among the ig-
norant classes, and that only ten per cent.
are cured, yet DR.. Tying cites numerous au
thorities to show that mental disease may
be greatly diminished by a more rigid OBJ
servance of the laws OF health and nature.
The delicate subjects of abortion and the
social evil are discussed by DR.. Tying in a
practical manner, and her suggestions are
pertinent. Popular enlightenment, she
thinks, will lessen both of these evils. A
change of tone in public opinion is needed.
Delicacy must not be confounded with re-
finement, nor thinness and .paleness ad-
mired for beauty. Sickness should be con-
sidered as allied with sin. Finally, women
must be taught to help themselves in these
matters. We trust these wise suggestions
will find many readers. The Plumber and
