One of the most sensible remarks yet
made upon the revised New Testament
is this from Rev. George Dana Board
man, in a letter to the editor Of the
Christian Union: "After all the best YER
sion of the Bible is the translation of it
into daily life. Every time this is done
there is indeed a revised and truly au-
thorized version of the Book of God
May the Holy Spirit prompt His people
everywhere to multiply these personal
editions of His Scriptures"

The New York Underground Railway
is now assured, the contract for digging
one mile of it being already given out.
The work will be done without interfer-
ing in the least degree with the traffic on
the streets. 1t is thought that the tun-
mel can be dug much more cheaplY than
the Metropolitan Underground Railway
of London, which cost So, 600. 600 mile.
The work, however, will be very expen-
sive-probably more so than the elevated
roads, which have found that their large
traffic yields them no profit.

1t is stated that during the past de
cade enough able-bodied men have left
Germany to make three good army
corps. Fifty-siX per cent. of all the
emigrants that left Germany during the

surplus of million females. Most of
the emigrants now leaving Germany are
between fifteen and forty years of age
the age when men are the most useful of

Agriculture is not moving forward as
rapidly as commerce, trade or manufac-
lures, nor, indeed, as fast as population.
A comparison of the statistics of the
civilized world o-day with those of 1870
shows that while agricultural products
have increased only 81 per cent. during
this period, manufactures have increased
1874. commerce 384. and mining AZ per

her way to the house of God but while she
sits there all the past comes back, and the
children that forty years ago tripped around
her arm chair, with their griefs, and joys,
and Sorrows-those children are gone now.

practices, prefaces the process with prepar-

boiling vinegar, rolling the barrels and
allowing them to stand on their sides two
or three days, until they become thoroughly
saturated with the vinegar. This prepare
ton over, the barrels are filled about one
third full with strong, pure cider vinegar
and two gallons of cider. Every eight
days thereafter two gallons of cider are
added until the barrel is two-thlrds full.
In "A days after the last 2 gallons are added
the whole will have been converted into
vinegar, one-half of which is now drawn
off and the process of filling with cider
begun again. In summer the barrels dur
ing the process of conversion are exposed
to the rays of the sun, and in cold weather
are stored where q uniform temperature of
about 500 can be maintained.

Calling Names.

A habit much to be deplored among many
of our teachers is that of calling the chill
dren names. That the children are Irish,
colored or low-born Americans, is no ex-
cuse for calling them anything but human
beings. No child that has common sense
will have any respect for his teacher if he
calls him what he knows he is not Only
q few months ago our wash-woman, nice.
thrifty Irish woman. told us that her chill
dren's teacher called them names" and
they did not like it. To tell child he is
as dumb as . door-naii.s that he never
viii know anything isn't very likely to
stimulate his energy, increase his interest
in knowledge OF in his teacher either. If
] teacher has lot of dull scholars, let him
use all the tact and patience at his COM
mand, and if he sees no good results follow,
then let him not resort to abusive language
or turn prophet, for somebody may come
after him who has a gift for making things
plain. and, instead of never knowing any
thing" those stupid scholars may yet know
much. Let it be far beneath the dignity
CT any teacher to -call names" or use slang

she does not respect herself he will not re-

men and maidens, are allowed to iall into
the absurdities of low, foolish, meaningless
talk, it seems to dwarf them intellectually ;
they can find nothing of interest or import
ance to say, and therefore make up for
sense by filling every sentence with neeG

TO be compelled to listen to half dozen

How to Dress Poultry.

1t is to the interest of every farmer who
has poultry TO sell to know how the saut
should be dressed for market. Birds that
are prepared in proper fashion always COM
mand better price than those which are
carelessly dressed. We copy the following
instructions sent out by New York conf
mission house: do not feed for at least
"a hours before killing. Open the veins
of the neck and bleed freely-this is the
best mode of killing. Seald enough to
make the feathers come off easily, picking
both feathers and pin-feathers off nicely.
Be careful not to bruise or break the skin
in any way, because it Injuries their sac.
Immediately after they are dressed, dip
in boiling hot water, letting them remain
in about ten seconds then dipin lce-eoid
water, allowing them to remain in the
same length Of time, and then hang in a
cool place where they will become dry and
stiff. If they are to be shipped any dis
tance, the entrails should be left in, and
the head and feet should not be cut OF. :

The Human Ear

Imagine two harps in room, with the
same number of strings, and each string
perfectly attuned to corresponding string
in the other. Touch a string in one, and
the corresponding string in the other will
give out the same sound. Try another
string, and its corresponding tone will be
sounded. So with all the strings. So with
any com bination of the strings.
1t would not matter how you played the
one harp, the other would respond. No
doubt the response would be weaker. That
is what one would expect; but the response,
as regards pitch and quality, would be
almost perfect: Now substitute for one
harpahuman ear, and the conditions would,
according to theory, be the same, except
that the responsive mechanism of the ear
Is much smaller than that of the respon-
sive harp. In the ear there are minute
chords, rods, or something, in such state
of tension as to be tuned to tones of various
pitch sound tone. its corresponding rod
or chord in the ear will respond, perhaps
ieebly, but still with energy sufficient to
excite the nerve tilament connected with
it; the result is nervous current to the
brain. and sensation OF q tone of a parsi-
cular pitch.
