Fretfnl Words.

Why be SO severe in dealing with the
faults of those at home while we excuse
anything friends or acquaintance may
do? The laws of politeness should be
binding at home as well as abroad. We
enjoy seeing our husbands and wives
polite to our neighbors, only let us be
sure to practice our good manners at
home. There are husbands who would
hasten to assure a neighbor's wife, who
had, in her haste, burned her biscuits,
that they greatly enjoyed them when
they were SO nice and brown" who
would never think their own wives
needed the same consideration. No man
can be gentleman, though ever so
genial abroad, who is a tyrant or habit
ual fault-fnder at home and no woman
is a real lady who is not lady at home
in her morning wrapper, as well as in
silk in her neighbor's parlor. One mem
Der of family who begins the day with
fretful words and harsh tones, is genor-
ally enough to spoil the happiness and
temper of the whole for the day. Not
all who hear the inpatient word give
the angry answer, for many choose to
suffer in silence; but every such word
makes somebody's heart ache and, as
rule, it is somebody whom we love and
would do anything for, except to keep
back the unkind, sarcastic word. Then
do not let us make ourselves and others
miserable by being fretful ot homo

nate Miss Poyntz by the shoulder, she
endeavored to fling her over into the
sea.
I'm deposed queen, said she; "but
| riH be obeyed !"
Imogen, dropping her own oar with a
scream, hastened to the rescue, and a
struggle ensued, during which the frail
boat upset, and all three of the women
were in the sea,
Not one of them could swim; but,
fortunately, rescue from the shore was
nigh at hand. Mr.. Parker pulled out
in his fat-bottomed fshing-boat, and
stout Israel Peck was not far behind.
"Well," said Mr.. Parker, scratching
his head, when he bad got the stout
young female, now all wet and dripping,
into his boat, and saw that Israel had been
equally fortunate with the two Misses
Poyntz, 'it's a good thing she hadn't
killed 'er. She's as mad as a March
hare, poor dearl It's my wife's sister.
As we thought, sea air and plenty of
fresh milk would be better for her than
the asylum fare. But if these are the
capers you are going to cut up, Adeliza
Mary, you'll have to go back again.
And so peaceable as she's been of late,
too r.
I-I thought it was Miss Byzantine,
the poetess,' said poor Imogen, with
blue lips and chattering teeth.
"Bless you, miss, no" said Mr.. Par
ker. "Ihe trunks are here, but she
don't come down until next week."
While Alexia, sitting under the same
rug with Israel Peck, had not word to
say upon the subject. And they all went
home to hot tea, bottles of boiling water
and well-wamed blankets.
Adeliza Mary Stubbs went back to
the asylum. Miss Byzantine came down
the next week, an elderly lady, in blue
spectacles and a cap, whom Imogen
Poyntz pronounced decidedly stupid"
and Alexia became engaged to Israel
"He saved my life, said she, "when
we were out in that horrid little boat
with the crazy woman, And he's SO
good and snbstantial-worth dozen
city dandies, according to my taste"
And Imogen's enthusiasm about au-
thors and authoresses is considerably
lessened.

In the Fish Market.

The fish markets in Norway are worth
seeing We went to one in Christiana.
The fish men and women were all seat
ed in their boats alongside the stone
pavements, shut in from outer water by
great locks. Servants and housewives,
with great tin baskets hanging on their
arms, were bargaining fol the days din
ner. Goldfish, mackerel, cells and lob
sters were in abundance. Anchovies--
or a small fish so-called- might almost
be counted by the million. The fish
women, with their loud voices. were
contending with their customers-as
they have from time immemorial, and
will to the end-about price. Now, one
made believe to go away, when des-
perate shrek would summon her back
again, and fish and money would ex-
change hands, buyer and seller each
looking thoroughly yictimized. The
sun was pouring his hot rays upon the
sparkling water in which boats were
bobbing up and down At the stern of
each boat a great bough was raisedy as
large as half tree, and under the shade
cast by the leaves sat the fishwoman.
The position was strikingly picturesque.
The scene was lively and enlivening ; the
water was full of animation; babel Of
voices went on around, ,chattoringand bar
gaining interspersed with much laugh
ter. Most of the fish was out of sight,
swimming in the holds of the small
boats, whence they were fished out with
nets as they were required. These ear
ly mornings in the fish market are one OF
the distinctive sights in Norway; where
people and customs join hands for the
benefit OF the traveller

Not a Very Great Loss.

The Cleveland Sentinel relates this in
cident: A young lady went to q drug
store recently, and had prescription
filled. "How much, inquired the lady.
"Fifty cents, said the clerk. "But l
have only forty-fve cents with me" re-
piled the customer, "can't you let me
have it for that?" 'No, ma'am," said
the clerk, "but you can pay me five
cents when you come in again" "But
suppose / were to die" said the lady,
jocularly. "Well, it wouldn't be great
loss" was the smiling response. And
Immediately the smiling clerk gathered
from the indignant flush on the lady's
face, that he had been misunderstood.

FIOrIda Oranges and AIIlgators.

'For three hundred miles south from
Jacksonville, along the st. Johns River,
and still furthernorth and east, said Jay
Gould to a New York reporter, "the coun-
try is dotted over with orange groves of
from twenty to twenty-five acres in ex-
tent. 1t takes about five years for an
orange grove to mature so as to produce
fruit for the market, but nevertheless
new groves are constantly planted, and
are looked to as a sure source ofrevenue.
When an orange grove begins to bear
fruit it apparently never wears out. l
heard of one tree which bears annually
from six to eight thousand oranges,
but that is above the average"
"What is the cost of an orange grove?"
"As said," replied Mr.. Gould, "they
vary in extent from twenty to twenty
five acres, and are worth from $4,000
to 100000. But they yield a handsome
percentage. For instance, Mr.. Hart,
who lives just above me here, owns
grove Of about twenty-five acres, and he
informs me that it yields him net in
come of from $4,000 to $4,000
''Is this interest growing"
Decidedly so, and l think that with
in the next five years Florida ought to
be able to supply the entire demand of
the United States for oranges. believe
that the sweet orange is not native of
Florida, but has to be grated upon the
tree which bears the sour orange. On
one tree you sometimes see oranges,
lemons and lines growing together OF
course the several fruits have been graf
ted ; but it is interesting and peculiar
to Northerner to see these fruits grow
ing in a happy family on one tree. 1t
suggests horticultural paradise"
"Is orange growing the chief industry
of Florida?"
"By no means. Not to speak of cotton
and live oak and the like, you must not
forget the alligator" said Mr.. Gould,
smiling and evidently thinking of his
alleged alligator farm.
"But is the alligator a sufficiently val
liable animal to make his cultivation re-
?"
'tNo; his hide is the valuable por-
tion of him, and even that is worth com
little, though l believe they
make it into boots in England"
"But does Florida cultivate these rep
tiles"
"That is not necessary. The alligator
cultivates himself and produces quickly
and numerously, The whole swamp and
river country is filled with them"
"And are they dangerous ?"
"Well, said Mr.. Gould, "it is as we'll

with their tails. Nevertheless, the eleven

The Course of the Earth.

If the earth could be suddenly stopped
in her orbit, and allowed to fall unob-
structed toward the sun, under the
accelerating influence of his attraction,
she would reach the central fire in about
four months. But such is the compass
Of her orbit that, to make it's circuit in

The Hottest Place on Earth.

a singular phenomenon is reported
from Alden. A heavy shower of rain has
actually fallen there, and the Arabs and
other inhabitants feel at loss to ac-
count for it. Such was the effect of the
down-pourthat the air afterward became
so cool that Europeans could tolerate q
light overcoat, and Arabs and Aby&in-
ians their cotton cloth, without feeling
in the least disconnected. This is truly
a wonderful state of matters for Alden,
which is the only station the British
possess on the coast of Arabia. 1t has
the unenviable reputation of being the
hottest place in the world. Situated at
the southern bend of the Red Sea, not
far from that celebrated Bab-el-Man-
deb, or Gate of Tears, which the Arabi-
an and Indian navigators at one time
never entered without believing that in
all probability they would never survive
either the shoals or the calm, sitting
heat of the Red Sea- Alden is built at
the foot of bare volcanic rock, and is
not much oftener visited by q refresh
ing breeze than it is by rain. British
soldiers, whose lot has cast them upon
that bleak spot of earth tell wicked
stories about it. One is that the Euro
pean residents are, in the absence of
shady trees on the barren peninsula, ac-
customed to cluster under the lean flag
staff that stands on Alden Point, in the
hope that they may share the grateful
shadow that it casts upon the ground.
In the vicinity Of Alden there are enor-
nous masonry tanks which the Arabs
assert to have been built by Moses.
These tanks--three in number-are sit
uated in a corner formed by the june
tion of high volcanic rocks, and are
connected by gradually descending
flights of Titanic steps. They have
never been even half filled within the
memory of man, and this has made GER
tain philosophers opine that the seasons
in the Red Sea must have changed with
in the last two thousand years, as Moses
would never have been so foolish rs to
build colossal stone reservoirs if he
knew there never would be rain enough
to fill them. Previous to the construc-
ton of the Suez Canal, Alden used to be
visited by light showers about once
every three years; but within the last
twelve years these showers have become
more and more frequent, and now they
appear to have eliminated in the down
pour which has caused so much surprise.
Old navigators of the Red Sea are CON
fdent that this seasonal change is due
to the Suez Canal, and perhaps their
theory is correct that the new water
connection between the Mediterranean
and the ancient Erythrean causes rain
clouds to travel from Eastern Europe
until they are broken by the heights of
Alden and descend in the form of rain.

ing. In view of these things, it is well
to observe the following rules in the
uses of the eyes: Avoid all sudden
changes between light and darkness.
Never begin to read or write or sew for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light. Never read by
twilight or moonlight or on very
cloudy day. Never read or sew directly
in front of the light or window or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep SO that on the first waking
the eyes shall open on the light of q
window. Too much light creates o
glare, and pains and confuses the sight
The moment you are sensible of an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease and
take walk or ride. AS the sky is blue
and the earth green, it would seem that
the ceiling should be blush tinge, and
the carpet green, and the walls of some
mellow tint. The moment you are
prompted to rub the eyes, that moment
cease using them. If the eyelids are
glued together on waking up, do not
forcibly open them, but apply the saliva
with the fingers. 1t is the speediest
diluent in the world. Then wash your
face and ewes i'm warm water.
