hobbling her, all danger from kicking

A CITY broker, visiting country lady
and wishing to increase her knowledge
of affairs, asked her if she knew what
watering stock" meant, to which she
replied, "Of course do; it is giving
the COWS drink"
ABoY arose one winter morn,
And came to breakfast rather late,
Yet raised a fuss because there was
No nice pancake upon his plate.
His father took him DER his knee;
Raised he his hand oft through the air,
And when the boy got loose from him
He hid his spankache in the chair.

HE question arises: lis there any
connection between the tiresome and
unvarying drudgery of the life of
farmers wife and the meaningless jab-
Der of an insane asylum?" for it is we'll
known that farmers wives form no
small proportion of the unfortunates
found in insane asyIums. 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 result is all the more
likely if overwork be added to monot-
ony and drudgery.-Dr.F Foote's Health
Monthly.
How TO EXTEMPoRIZE RAD1sHEs.-
Radishes may be grown in very few
days by the following method: Let
some good radish seed soak in water for
twenty-four hours, then put in bag and
expose it to the sun. In the course Of
the day termination will commence.
The seed must be sown in well-man-
ured hotbed, and watered from time to
time with lukewarm water. By this
treatment the radishes will in q very
short time acquire 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, and one-half of it filed
with good earth. The radish seed
beginning to shoot as before must be
then sown in, the other half of the 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 Ne,U England Far

JUpITER.-Jupiter's diameter is about
eleven times that of the earth, and his
mean density is about quarter that
of the earth, or about third more than
water. Now, a bulky body may be COM
posed of heavy materials, and still, as
whole, be light, like an iron ship or
lump of pumice stone, that will font in
water. The pumice lump is light on
that the mass consists of heavy fels-
pathic material and the air it contains.
Extract the air, and the pumice loses
it's floating power, though still far from
heavy in proportion to its bulk. Most
of the earth's crust is formed of solids
much heavier than water. GRANTEES are
more than two and half times heavier
than water, slaty rocks about the
same, and SO are ordinary imestones,
the variations of all being from about
2.5 to 2.9. The ironstone group con-
tains denser minerals; red hematite has
specific gravity of 4.5; magnetic iron
stone, As to 81, ETC., and many other
ores are heavy. At some remote peri
cd, when only part of the now-soid
earth had been condensed from gaseous
and vapory matter, our planet might
have had mean density like that of
Jupiter, as it's rocky materials contain
between 40 and 30 per cent. of oxygen;
and, while condensations and chemical
combinations were going ON rapidly,
our globe must have been the scene of
Thunders, hghtnings, and prodigious storms.
And it is probable that certain stars
which have suddenly blazed forth with
passing splendor have exhibited to Ms
the spectacle of CONGREGATIONS extend
ing over millions and billions of square
miles. Color-changes in Jupiter-such
rs those noticed by Mr.. Browning and
the writer in 9-'7O-may have been
caused by soda.fames, though not
fierce enough or extensive enough to
add materially to his ordinary lumin-
osity, which is estimated as always ex-
ceeding, though not in very high de-
gree, what it would be by mere refec-
ton OF Light received from the SUM-
Belgrauid.
