Camping Out.

1t is wonderful and strange expert
ence, says Lord Dunraven, to lie out
under the stars in the solemn, silent
darkness of the forest, to watch the
consultations rise and set, to lie there
gazing up through the branches of the
grand old trees, which have seen an
other race dwell beneath their boughs
and pass away. whose age makes the
little fretful life of man seem insight
6cantly small; gazing up at planet af-
ter planet, sun beyond sun, into the
profundity of space, till this tiny speck
in the universe, this little earth, with
all it's discomfort and discord, its
wrangling races, its murmuring mil
lions of men, dwindles into nothing,
and the mind looks out so far beyond,
that it falls back stunned with the vast
ness of the vision which looms over
whelmingly before it. The earth
sleeps. A silence that can be felt has
fallen over the woods. The stars be-
gin to fade. A softer and stronger
light wells up and flows over the scene
as the broad moon slowly floats above
the tree-tops, shining white upon the
birch-trees, throwing into black
shadow the somber pines. dimly light
ing up the barren, and revealing gro
tesque ghost forms of stuntea fir
and gray rock. The tree trunks stand
out distinct in the lessehjng gloom; !;
the dark pine boughs overhead seem to
stoop caressingly toward you. Amid a
stiffness that is terrifying man is not
afraid. Surrounded by q majesty that
is appalling, he shrinks not, nor is he
dismayed. In scene of utter loneli-
ness he feels himself not to be alone.
A sense of companionship, sensation
of satisfaction, creep over him. He
feels at once with nature, at rest in her
strong protecting arms.
DEs1CeATED YoLKs OF EeGs.-In
Austria alone the albumen of seventy
million eggs is annually consumed,
whilst the yolks of but comparatively
small number of these are employed
in dressing leather, the rest, until re-
Gently, having been thrown away. At
Podgorze at present they are converted,
without the admixture of any foreign
Ingredients, by evaporation in vacuo,
into a yellowish mass, OF fine flavor and
an agreeable odor, which will keep in
cool and dry place for years. 1t dis
solves on shaking with water, and can
then be used for culinary purposes like
fresh eggs. Analyses by Professor
Moser show that nothing nutritious is
lost by the desiccation. A large table
spoonful of the powder is fully equiv
alent in all respects, when stirred into
soup or milk, to tie fresh yolk of one
egg. The convenience of such prep
aration in winter, and for provisioning
vessels, forts, expeditions to unculti-
vated regions, public hospitals, and SO
forth, suggests its extensive use.
Ernest Renan physically and phys
Economically made on an observer,
when first seen, much the same i'm
preston that Daniel Webster did. He
has the same look of massive architect
ure about him; seems moving edifice,
with high forehead for its tower; but
that impression is overlaid when one
has come to know the depths and by
ways of his face, the subtle lights and
shades that play about his eye and
mouth, and has listened to his flexible
voice as is passes through the entire
range of expression needed for his hu-
NOR, pathos, acumen and dramatic
force-for he possesses all those pow
ers, and they are under superlative cul-
ture. He is an indefatigable worker.
