SIMEON AND THE CHILD JESUS.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

The infant Saviour is hidden from the hate
of King Herod by timely flight into Egypt.
and thence, after the tyrant's death, is taken
to the early home of his mother in Galilee.
There, at Nazareth, he passes the years OF
quiet, natural youth; as child, playing in
the carpenter shop of Joseph. or listening to
the Old Testament tales from the lips of his
mother; as a boy, wandering among the gall
ilean hills and worshiping in the village sym
agogue. At the age of twelve he accompanies
the caravan of pilgrims to the feast of the
passover in Jerusalem. For the first time he
looks upon the holy city. centre of Jewish
thought and reverence, with its lofty walls,
its countless towers. and tsplaces of hallowed
memory. Standing amid the worshipers in
the temple, he listens to silver trumpets
accompanying the choralsongsof a thousand
priests; he looks upon the court to the great
aiiar FIlHKN tlzahAaaaF saf lss SsI:nl ili,,;;
he sees tie Holy place Hfting us lofty ffoht
against the sky. The thought of his own
nature and work and destiny begins to dawn
dimly upon his soul and, when the week of
of the feast is ended, and the throngs disperse
to their homes, he is held bv strange iasci-
nation. and tarres within his Fathers house.
A day of the homeward journey passes before
his absence is missed and then with anxious
heart his mother and Joseph return TO the
city. For two days they seek among the
STREETS and places of their stay during the
feast; and then they turn toward the temple.
Here, at last ON the third day, they find their
son, sitting among the teachers of e.law,
listening to their words, and askins questions
which betoken wondrous understa nding in
one SO young. In reply to the mothers re-
nrQnfllfpl nnpctiOp the child uf Tors a
sentence which shows that the secret of his
divine birth and vocation are already known
to himself: but he meekly submits to the
of his earthly guardians, and with
them returns to the quiet home in the coun-
try, there to grow up to his great mission, and
to await the hour of Gods call.

TITLE WORSHIP.

Tie scandalous row at a West Point hop
between a bogus British Lord and San
Francisco girl illustrates two things which
are disgraceful to American sense and Ameri-
can manhood. In the first place vulgar,
low bred boor and confidence operator was
received by the best society simply because
he was supposed to be an English Lord. The
fact that he was an uncultiyated snob and
was constantly parading Lis bad manners
about the place did not prevent him being re-
eeived by The best families and lot of female
noodles set their caps for an offer Of marriage
from him. One unfortunate girl succeeded.
Americans make a preense OF despls'ng
titles nut it is all a sham. Americans delight
To lick the boots of titled foreigners and hav-
ing once got q taste Of the backing seem to
relish it. Ifa stranger arrives in San Fran
cisco and announces that he IS an English
Lord, no act of his can ever be construed
into anything no. strictly in keeping with
polite society etiquette the world over. An
English Lord might make towel Of the Ia
bic cloth, eat with his knife or his neighbours
for that matter and end by wiping his feet on
the dress of the hostess, without raising
protest from any quarter. When the boor
at West Point blew successive clouds of
tobacco smoke into the face OF Miss Scoofy
she called upon the cadets for protection, but
the cream livered, corset-waisted milksops,
who are being educated at the country's ex-
pense, as polka dancers for the New York
and Washington society seasons, stood by,
none of them presuming to interfere with the
prerogatives Of British Lord who wished to
amuse himself by putting tobacco smoke in
the face of an American girl. All the talk
since the affair about the man being an i'm
pestor simply goes to show that in order to
carry out his role he acted as nearly like
British aristocrat as possible. His general
demeanor as BLACKBOARD was a good ways
toward showing that his title was genuine.
If the Lords from the other side of the water
were noted for their culture AMI refinement
theiordnary blackleg wonld not find it so
easy to initiate them. 1t is generally con
coded fact that English refinement is
commodity almost entirely moropolzed by
the middle classes.

A NEW ORE EXTRACTOR.

Correspondent of the Bulletin tells Of new
erected in New York. 1t may be interesting
to your readers to know that company has
Just been organized for the working OF a new
ore extracting process, by which 1t is c,aimed
that ore worth S. ton can be profitably
treated. The company is now at work put
ting up works in New York here, and expect
to begin operations very soon upon some
tailings from the Comstock mines. The pro-
cess is as yet a secret. l understand. how
ever that melted lead has something to do
with it, and that 1t is wonderfully cheap and
effective compared to all known methods of
ore-extractiBg. The properties Of melted
lead in it's action toward gold and silver are
extremely curious. Not every one knows
for instance, that if bar of solid gold as big
as mans finger is plunged into a bath Of
melted lead it will melt instantlv-so quick Y
that it cannot be Withdrawn. Yet the melt
ing point of lead is about geo degrees, and
that of gold 2,5ls degrees. Another curious
fact is that if into a bath containing ton of
melted lead $40 gold piece, or any other bit
of gold is thrown and the whole mass is
CONCEALED As fast as it can be done, the gold
will be found equally distributed. sample
cut from the outside Of the mass will assay
the same as one cut from the heart of it. Il.
was the knowledge of these facts that led
miners to pulverize ore and plunge it into
melted lead. But the pnlverzing il Il long
job and profitable only when the ore is rich.
The new process is said to be perfect, and
the talk about it excites no little tnteres;
among investors of mines.

Eureka Leader: The insufferable young
egotst who runs the Reno Gazette claims
that the Leader virtually indorses his posi-
ton in regard to the condition OF the State
finances, because in a recent article we re-
iterated our position taken two years ago in
favor of State Constitution tha, might
materially reduce expenses by doing away
with useless State officers. The Gazatie $
position is that the State is in fact insolvent
and can not much longer raise the means to
conduct State government-that is all there
il of its position. On the other hand, the
Leader contends that the present rate of tax
alton will yield ample means for that pur-
pose, and that the increase of our taxa
BILE resources will in the near future enable
us to reduce that rate. That, however, does
not prevent the Leader from thinking and
saying that the expenses Of the State govern
ment are excessive or desiring to reduce them
as much as possible. The only thing in con-
nection with.this finance proposition in which
the Leader may possibly agree with The Ga
zette is that the expenses of maintaining our
State government are entirely out Of proper
tion to our taxable resources.

such are the Essex and Suffolk, and
some other allied "sman breeds" One
can " go further and fare worse" than
to select the Essex for the piggery
that is to make profitable returns.
There is some prejudice against black
pigs, but it should be remembered that
the color is less than skin deep, and the
blacklist pig makes as white dressed
pork as any other. There is money in
pigs if good breed is chosen and
properly managed. The value of full
blooded pigs over the "grade" is
strikingly shown when q pair of the
former is taken into neighborhood
where only the "common hog" was

and market them as pigs rather than
keep them until they are old hogs. Pig

A curious fact, and one bearing on
the value of submarine cables, was men,
toned by Mr.. Pender, January 27, in
presiding at the half-yearly meeting of
the Eastern Telegraph company. II
was that the company had been able,
for $50, 900, to pick up from a depth OF
1000 fathoms one of their cables which
had been ten years in the water. The
establishment of the fact that it was
possible to raise a cable from such a
depth of course gives an additional
value to all telegraphic property.
Much was expected from the discov-
cry made by Professor Boil that the
images of objects remained on the
retina OF animals after death. It was
thong t, for example, that the last
scene of mysterious murder would be
found by properly examining the eyes
of the victim. Actual tests have shown
that the optogram can be of no use in
detecting crime. DIR. Ayres made more
than thousand experiments in the
laboratory of Professor Kuhne, at Held
elberg, and met with but poor success.
The best result was obtained by expos
ing the eye of living rabbit, which had
been dosed with atropine, to photo
graphic negative, and even in this case
the optogram was imperfect, indistinct
and eyanesoent.

Outside Trees IN Orchnrd..

Mr.. William Saunders, the horticul-
turist in charge of the public gardens
and grounds in Washington city, OBJ
serves that outside rows of trees in an
orchard always grow more thrifty than
the interior rows. He attributes this
TO the cultivation of the soil in the
fields alongside of the orchard, giving
room for the ramihcation of the roots
in cultivated soil. He thereupon sug-
gests that trees be set in two rows,
twenty-five to thirty feet apart, then a
space of 300 feet or more, and two move
rows OF trees, ana so on over the ground,
the intervening 300 feet of ground to
be cultivated in such crops as may be
desired, and the space between the
rows of trees to be put in grass as soon
as they begin to bear. He thinks the
cultivation of the ground would keep
the trees healthy and conduce to their
bearing fruit. Mr.. Saunders thinks
double rows of trees would shelter the
crops between, and be beneficial in that
way.

PIoKLED WHITE OABBAGR.-Cut the
cabbage into thin slices, put it into an
earthen pan, sprinkle with salt, and let

Ice CREAM CAKE.-Three eggs, one
coffee cup of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, two tablepoonfuls of
water, one one cup of flour; bake in
Jelly tins and let them cool. Take one
pint of thick sweet cream and beat it
till it looks like ice cream; sweeten and

ters of pound of -four, and take
half pint of sour cream ; dissolve a
teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in a
teaspoon of boiling water, add it to the
sour cream and stir it until it froths
well. If the cream is very sour it may
require little more soda. Be careful
that it is frothy, or else the paste will
not be light. Stir the frothing cream

What Breed of Pigs to Raise.

It. impossible to answer the ques-
tion, (Which is the most profitable
breed of pigs to raiser" Very much
depends upon the system of manage
ment, nearness to market, individual
taste or fancy, etc. But there are some
general facts which should be under
stood in deciding what kind of pig to
grow in any particular case. Pig farm
ing may be profitable or a source of
loss. A few pigs of almost any breed
can be grown on dairy farm with profit,
but when the number is increased the
piggery may become an expense. 1t is
clearly determined by long experience
that pig pork is the pork that paws.
Young hogs marketed when year old
are much moro profitable than older
ones. This being true-and it is
especially so in the older States-a a
breed should be selected that natures

High Feeding for WIN.

Large yields of milk, says the Lire
Stock Journal, must necessarily be the
result Of a large quantity of food con-
sumed, for the COW cannot create milk
out of nothing. She is not miracle
worker. But does it follow that large
product of milk costs more in proper
tion to quantity than medium yield?
Now, the COW must be supported be-
fore she gives any milk. After this
food of support ell the food she con-
sumes must go to the production of
milk or flesh, and if the COW is good
mixer it all goes to milk-in other
words, after the food of support, the ex-
ira food all goes to profit-that is, either
to milk or flesh. And it is equallxclear
that all the food consumed to support
the system of the animal is lost until
the point of production is reached.
After the producing point is reached
the more the animal can eat, properly
digest and assimilate above this, the
greater the profit. So, if you desire to
produce milk at the least cost, you
must select COWS with the capacity to
turn the largest amount of food into
milk-the larger the amount the more
cheaply will the milk be produced. OF
course the best COW is the one that can
digest and assimilate the most food and
turn the extra food into milk, instead of
laying on flesh and fat. 1t is the busi-
ness of skillful dairyman to select such
COWS, and then make full use of their
machinery to secrete milk by full feed
ing.

Says the Rural NeO Yorker It is
good plan to tie about tomato and cab
bage plants pieces of cardboard to pre-
vent tbe cut worm from severing the
stem near the soil. It is easily done,
and is better protection than mounds Of
earth, which, it has been said, cut worms
cannot climb up. This idea is a mis-
take. We last season placed twenty-five
cut worms in hole about eight inches
deep, the sides of which were nearly
perpendicular, We watched them at
intervals during two hours, and found
that, though many attempts to escape
were Intellectual, some were successful.

The Pea.

This hardy and excellent vegetable
may beplanted dsuccessively up to the first
ofJuly. They produce best on light, rich
and well-tilled soil. The soil for the
first crop should be prepared as early,as
possible in spring after the frost is out
of the ground, and the peas put in as
soon thereafter as possible. Other SOW
ings may be made at intervals of two or
three weeks. if succession of crops is
desired. Peas, when grown in small
quantities for private use, may as well
DO sown in double rows six or eight in
ches apart, with space between of
about three feet in order to give room
to bush the taller-growing varieties, and
plenty of space to pass between the rows
in gathering the crop.
Early Varieties. Philadelphia is the
earliest of all, and close upon it comes
Early Kent, Daniel O'Rourke. Laxton's
Alpha, Oarter's 'First Chop" Kentish
Invicta and Tom Thumb. The last va
erty can be raised with least trouble and
may be also said TO produce least, as it
grows but half foot high.
Earg-McLean's Advancer, Iaxton's
Prolific Long Pod and McLean's Little
Gem are good early varieties.
Medium Champion of England, Lax
toms Marvel, McLean's Premier and
Eugenie.
Late.-British Queen, Black-Eyed
Marrowfat, Tall Sugar and McLean's IS
Best of All. Champion of England for
a main crop is still considered the best.
This grows five feet high the pods are
large and we'll filled. For an early pea
there is none better than McLean's Lit
tie Gem.
