Prot. Gustav Jaeger, of Stuttgart
Wurtemberg, has published a book en-
titled =" The Discovery of the Soul,
which Is a most remarkable publication
and has brought him at once into gs,Nn-
inence as philosopher. In hiJ book
the professor explains how he discOE-
cred the soul, and what it consists OF.
He divides man into three parts-body,
spirit and soul-throwing the liver
away, and making no use of it. He,
shows that the human eye is for the pur-
pose of seeing things, that the ear IS for
the purpose of hearing what 10 salda
while the nose, he contends, is for the
purpose of smelling. Taking these
three senses together, on the axiom thaS
things which are equal to the same thing
are equal to each other, the professor
finds that the "soUl is composed of
odoriferous particles, and consequently
the nose can perceive the sOul-that is,
that the soul can be smelled. This Is
certainly an important discovery, rs it
locates a mans soul with unerring GER
tainty in his feet. The material part of
man may die, and his body be resolved
to earth again, but his socks shall live
on forever, in a life beyond the tomb,
The theory of Prof. Jaeger is a strange
one, but, II correct, it behooves the
Christian young men of the country to
put forth renewed efforts to prevent the
young and thoughtless from losing their
immortal souls by making use of the foot
bath and case knife. It is lamentahle,
to think how the world has been CROP
ing in heather darkness In this matter,
and people have turned up their noses at
the African, for shedding a soulful indu-
ence around him. Heightened people,
should now be ashamed of themselves
for refusing to ride in emigrant cars, be-
cause the company had thrown some
soul into them. The theory heretofore
entertained that dumb animals had no
soul, is demolished by Prof. Jaeger, and
if he is correct there are animals that
have plerAy of it. The skunk, for in
stance, has soul enough for six, and will
occupy front seat in the New Jerusa-
lem. Prof. Jaeger will shortly visit
the United States and deliver a series of
lectures in the principal cities, and if
we have misconstrued his theory we
shall apologize. But he should be
heard, and we trust his audiences will
listen respectfully, and not greet him
with q volume of soul-stirring eggs

MONOSYLLABLE POEM.

Think not that strength lies in the big, round word,
Or that the brief and plain maet needs be weak.
To whom can this be true wb3 once has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men speak,
When want, or woe, OF fear is at the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like shrek
Pressed ffOns the heart, or strange, Wlid note
Sung hy some fay Or fiend? There is strength
Which dies If stretched to- far or spun too hne,
Which has mere height than breadth, mere depth
and length.
Yet but this force of thought and speech be mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat phrase,
" hich glows and burns not, though it CLEAN and
shine;
Light, bat not heat-a fash without blaze.
For Il mere strength that the short word boasts
1t serves Of more than Fl sht or storm TO tell
-ile roar of waves that dash rOck-bound coasts,
The crash of tall trees when the wild winds swell,
he roar ofguns, the groans Of men thai die
On blood-stained fields 1t has a voice an well
For them that far-Off on their sick beds lie,
For them that weep, for them that mourn the
dead,
For them that laugh and dance, and clasp the nanoi
To joys quick step, as well as gTie's low tTeao.
The sweet, plain words learnt at first Keep tlIne
And though the theme be sad, or gay, or grand
With each, with all, these may be made to chime,
In thought speech, or song, or prose, or rhyme

child. As education comes more and
mote to inclrde the development of a
natural aptitude, II will be more and

your children in preserving their indi-

Austrian ladies.

It is said that Austrian ladies are all
accomplished cooks, consequently dys-
pepsia is unknown among them: Food
properly prepared never disarranges the
human digestion or inAames the blood,
but such food cannot be had with GER
tainty if the table depends entirely upon
the skill and temper of hired cook.
Ladies who manage their own kitchens,
or are competent to do SO, may be sure
that their families viii have food that is
properly cooked and appropriate to the
season. There is something inexpliea-
BILE about American Ignorance of the art
of cooking. In Europe even gentlemen
take pride in being able to prepare GER
tain dishes, and ladies are glad to be
known as practical managers of their re-
spective households. Here, however,
strong adults and feeble infants are alike
dependent upon the ignoramus of the
kitchen. We're some of the industry
displayed by American ladies in copying
foreign customs devoted to kitchen
management, on the Austrian plan, we
would be happier and better nation.

Matrimony is the thorn of the rose of
love.
For the woman who has long been q
wife, death has no terrors.
No woman need despair of fortune so
long as she remains unwedded.
Many women would be totally depraved
If they possessed the force to be.
Marry In haste and repent at leisure Is
no truer than marry at leisure and re-
pent forever.
When we go the priest to be united,
it is clear that we are In danger Of spirit
ual disruption.
She who converts her lover into hus-
band transforms a worshiper into an In
tolerable despot.
We may love our lives without safety
unless we marry. Then we have safety
without satisfaction.
The ultimate effect of marriage upon
man is to make all women appear lovely
except her he has married

already grown apart and hope TO be re-
united though their offspring,

Alcohol EVERYWHERE.

M. Muntz, French scientist, has ex-
amined spring, river, sea and rain wa
ter; also snow. He finds alcohol In all
except in very pure spring water. By
comparison with water holding known
quantities of alcohol, rain water and the
water of the Seine are estimated to con-
tain about one grain per cubic forty
inches. Snow and cold rain contain q
little more. The proportion in sea wa
ter is much the same. There is evident
reason to suppose that alcohol exists In
the state of vapor i'll air. This diffusion
of the substance in nature is easily ex-
planned by the destruction of organic
matter by various agents OF fermenta-
ton.

A worldly Old Maids Advice.

From my safe position I have watched
many husbands, my dear girls, and can
give you a few hints which may be Of
service in selecting partner for life.
shall confine my observations to the
small circle of men, such as I have
studied around the tea-table. If man
wipes his feet on the door-mat before
coming into the room, you may be sure
he will make good domestic husband.
If a man puts his handkerchief on his
knees while taking his tea. you may be
sure he will make q prudent husband.
In the same way, always mistrust the
man who will not take the last piece of
toast, but prefers waiting for the next
warm batch. It is not unlikely he will
make greedy, selfish husband, with
whom who will enjoy no "brown at
dinner. no crust at tea, no place what
ever at home. The man who is very
careful of his own health is very apt to
be careless of yours. All his sympathy
is expended on himself. The man who
watches the kettle and prevents it boil
ing over will not fail, my dears, in his
married state, in exercising the same
care in always keeping the pot boiling
Theman who doesn't take tea, ill-treatst6e
cat. takes snuff, and st ands with his
back to the fire, is brute whom I would
not advise her to marry under any con-
sideration, either for love or money, but
most decidedly not for love. But the
man who, when the tea is over, is dis
covered to have had none, is sure to
make the best husband. Patience like
his deserves being rewarded with the
best IF wives and the best of mothers-in-
law. When you meet with such man
do your utmost to marry him. He will
in all respects be model.

found only among women.
Why women should gossip more than
men seems to be unknown and unex-
planned, except by the hypothesis Of
mental inferiority. think it could be
better accounted for Cd the ground Of
defective education. The man has his
business to engross his thoughts; it
brings him In contact with many men
and many minds. And then he has
mans prime consider, the newspaper, to
freshen his thoughts and ideas. It is a
lamentable fact that few women-that
is, few IN comparison with men-read
the newspapers. 1t has been said that
the papers, especially those given to too
much interviewing, encourage gossip
ing disposition by their trivial details
about persons and things, but in such
case 1t ceases to be gossip, according to
the common acceptance of the term it
does not consist of mere frivolous per-
sonal items.
The thoughts of one occupied in the
regular routine of household work are
apt to run in certain groove she is
numbered with many cares" and her
conversation very naturally consists OF
what is called gossip. The average
housekeeper has no time for regular
course of reading, but surely the ten
dency to gossip would be greatly less
ened by light reading. Her culture
might be superficial, but it would be a
decided benefit. After all, l think the
more thoroughly women are educated
the less likely they are to indulge in such
supposed weaknesses of the sex as gos-

Poor flour should never be bought for
bread; the best is cheapest. Pans for
wheat bread should be creased very
lightly, either with butter or lard; for
rye, Indian or graham, they must be
creased more thoroughly, as the dough
clings to the pans more. Bread or any
thing containing much starch should be
eaten slowly. A crust of French bread

Winter Sever, Ever, Cline.

This winter is one of exceptional severity in Eu-
rope well rs in all parts of the United States.
People have been accustomed TO congratulate them
selves, in the matter of climate, of the States and
Territories of the Pacific coast where the air is
tempered by a warm current from the shores of Ja-
PAN that snow and ice rarely seen there; but
this year they are greater sufferers than the
colder Atlantic. While the States of the Rocky
Mountains have experienced the dscOmiorts Of
cold, the other side Of that range there has
been immense destruction of property by floods, that
have surpassed in extent anything recorded be-
fore. The devastation caused along the line of the
Central Pacific and in the valley of the Sacramento
has been announced by telegraph but later reports
from Oregon show that also in of the choicest
farming regions of that productive State there has
been serious and widespread disaster. Meantime,
We hear that in parts of Mexico persons have been
frozen TO death; that in Holland the dykes have
been swept away by the sea, and whole province
inundated, causing great loss of property, and much
suffering that in London there have been Hoes- and
snow storms that necessitated q temporary suspen-
sion of all business, and inflicted damage the
tent of ten million dollars; that in Russia large col
oncs of Germans have been reduced TO extreme des-
titution. and that in France the military have been
called out TO assist IN clearing the roads This is
extraordinary list of calamties from storm and win
ter's cold, and will doubtless be regarded by
n ulllment of the predictions that serious disturb
of the elements would be occasoned this year,
in consequence of the position of the planetary bod
les, while those who have announced 1881 the
date of the end of the world will doubtless begin TO
set their houses in Order.-N. y. Snn.
