How Carlyle Looked.

A more ungainly, strange, and awkward
figure than that of Thomas Carlyle in the last days
of his life can hardly be imagined. The stopped
fitting and almost shabby clothes. His face was
rugged and sombre, set in bush of gray white
hair and beard. Beneath the heavy brows, within
deephollows lined and worn shone dull the BLUSH
gray eyes. His nose was handsome Scotch nose
straight, fine, and bold.

SagaCity in HOrSes.

One morning great noise in a
stable in England attracted the atten-
ton of a maid-servant, who was in the
yard outside, and thinking something
wrong might be going on, she looked
in at the door, and saw that one of the
horses had made it's way out of its own
loose-box, the door of which was
unfastcned, and found bucket of
mash which was standing in the
entrance of the stable, and taking the
opportunity while the coachman was
in the loft overhead, he was helping
himself freely to it's tempting CONSENTS.
The other horse, who was fastened to
his own loosebox. caught sight of his
friends proceedings, and neighed
loudly, evidently demanding a share
for himself; and the servant was aston
ished toEee the horse who was enjoying
himself fill his mouth with the mash,
and poke his nose through the bars of
the loose-box for his friend to take it
from his mouth. This was done
several times. The horse that was
fed by his friend had been known on
former occasions to push over the
remainder of his hay into his compan--
ions rack when that had been emptied
before his own.

A Dinner Party.

A dinner party in the country is an
enjoyable affair, and is easily managed
by good housekeeper, even with the
resources she finds at hand. Six
O'Clock is an excellent dinner-hour,
and I believe in the custom of begin
ing the meal with soup. 1t should
always be made the day before it is
wanted so that it may get cold, and
grease and suet, which rises to the
top, be taken off. for greasy soup is
an abomination. After the soup has
been removed from the table, and the
host or hostess is carving the roast
Gt is to be hoped that the carving is
done without the carver Using to his
feet), entremets may be passed. These
NAV be beef's tongue, spiced, raw or
fried oysters, cold boiled ham, head
cheese. slices of nodded souse, from
which the bones have been removed.
For an elaborate dinner one serves fish
after soup, but we are considering a
dinner the materials for which may
be found in the larder of most coun-
try dwellings. Spiced oysters are an
appetizer enjoyed by most persons.
and they will keep for three OF four
weeks in cold place. Potatoes may
be served in various ways, but are
most excellent if nicely mashed and
Drowned. There must be salad, and
cold-slaw makes good one. with the
requisite dressing. |;What shall we
have for desert p is always a question

Needful Exercise.

unfortunately for those who are
obliged to live sedentary lives, their
occupation begets an almost uncon-
querable aversion to regular exercise.
and the result of yielding to the indis-
position is that the mental powers,
kept at a steady tension for years, will
some day suddenly relax and leave
their abuser either lifeless or helpless
paralytic. To literary and profess
sionaE man is vigorous, and regular
exercise especially needful, and the
example Of its effects in hale old age
will suggest themselves to every one.
The exercise needful to keep the
mind in tone and the physical force
unabated, up to the four score years
and ten, is not daily spin behind
fast stepping horse, but the long
swinging gait which puts the. walker
over country road at the rate of four
or five miles an hour, and sends the
blood pulsing with invigorating life
to every portion of the system. Two
hours exercise day. so far from
being waste of time, is positive
economy, supplying the nervous force
for more and better work in ten hours
than the man of street cars and car
riages can get out of twelve.

when a dinner party is on the tapis.
Heavy, substantial pudding on the
top of hearty dinner should never
be tolerated. What one wants is
something fresh and dainty. Sponge
cakes, with canned peaches and coffee
make a nice dessert. Blanc mango,
or plain cooked corn starch served
with preserved strawberries, or pine
apple, with cream, is another very
nice dessert. The Southern style of
passing cream with preserved fruits,
is now quite generally adopted, so
that pitcher of cream is more essen
tial to a dinner than is butter. Coffee
should be served, especially if there
are elderly people present; and apples
and nuts are always in order. 1t will
readily be seen that such a dinner is
byn means hard to prepare or serve,
while it can be made most enjoyable
to all concerned.

Mrs. Lanytry's Limbs.

1t appears, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
that the second-rate beauties have
conspired to present an aggregate Of
loneliness against which the features
of Mrs. Langtry, unassisted, cannot
cope. She has been successful in
dealing with some Of them in detail,
like Mrs. Wheeler, whose arms are
too slender for beauty, but whose
lower eXtremitieS are plump to the
verge of distraction. This, Mrs.
Wheeler accidentally discovered, and
invented a new fashion which con-
cealed the upper members and freely
exposed the lower, thus dealing Mrs.
Langtry crue blow, for that exquis-
tie creature is represented as possess
ing an arm for a. sculptor, developed
at the expense Of the less public men,
bers. But Mrs. Langtry was more
than match for her rival, and after
profound thought hit upon an expedi-
ent whose modesty, picturesqueness
and patriotism combined to rout the
presuming Mrs. Wheeler, and place
her just where she belonged. This
was the adoption of modified form
of the Turkish costume for ladies,
which left the arms bare. but con-
cealed in discreet satin trousers, gath
cred gracefully in at the ankles and
fringed with lace, any deficiency in
volume Or lack Of symmetry above
the shoe tops. This daring counter
attack was hailed with great joy, and
Mrs. Wheeler was soon forced by fash
ion to adopt she odious uniform,
which banished her charms and pitt
lessly exposed her weakness. Thus
has the wise and beautiful Mrs. Lang
try disposed of her enemies, until they
have combined, conspired and confed-
Grated to look prettier en- masse than
she can hope to look single-handed.
Add to this melancholy state of things
the reflection that each day adds TWEEN
ty-four hours to the age of all of us,
and the crisis that threatens to blight
the pale beauty Of the Jersey Lily"
may we'll be understood and dreaded.

Sun Storms Through a Telescope.

The Providence Journal says the
great fire-ball is in intense commotion.
His surface is scanned and SCARED in
every direction with black spots that
Indicate the disturbing elements at
work in his chaotic mass. Occasion
ally, for a day Oh two, the blemishes
disappear, and the glorious king of day
shows a face like a shield of glowing
gold. But the aspect quickly changes;
spots come rushing in all directions
and assuming all forms. They appear
singly and in pairs, and again in groups
and rows. Immense groups break up
into small ones, and small ones unite
to form great chasms, into which
half dozen worlds might be dropped
and there would still be room for more.
Sometimes the spots are visible to the
naked eye, and at that time good
opera glass or spy glass will make
them easily perceptible. Hundreds Of
observers all over the world watch the
sun s face every clear day, and keep a
record of the number of spots, their
size and tho direction in which they
move, for as the sun turns on his axis
they turn with him, some of them re-
naming for months without much
change, some taking on new forms and
some disappearing entirely. Very lit
tie is known of this mysterious sun or
the spots that are visible more than
/ 90, 100000 miles away.
Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-spot peash.
and we are approaching the maximum
/ of disturbance. No one knows the
cause. Some believe that it is plane
tary attraction, some that it is the
fall of great masses of meteoric mat
ties, and some that it the result of
internal commotion and a rush up
ward Of gaseous explosions, in COM
pariSOn with which our fiercest vol
canic eruptions are but the flicker of
fame. Besides the sun-spot agita-
ton, the gaseous OutburSts are mark
ed and vivid. The tongues of faim
or rosy protuberances are dartipg
forth in all directions and bearing
their testimony to the solar CONNIE
ton. Mr.. Trouvelot, of Cambridge,
who makes daily observation Of the
suns chromosphere, gives a graphic
description of a remarkable solar
protuberance that he witnessed on
November Is. When first it was
large and complicated extending
upward from the sun 100000 miles.
Three or four years after it had devel-
oped into huge proportions, extending
far into space, and vanishing grad
ually to regions where it could not be
perceived. AS nearly as it could be
measured. it reached height of over
a quarter of the suns diameter, or
about 235, 900 miles. Such a protuber-
ance hurled upward from the earth
would almost reach the moon! Two
hours after, the whole structure had
collapsed, and was only about $4,000
miles high. Observations like this
give an idea Of the mighty forces at
work in the solar orb, and make OBJ
servers long for the time when a
satisfactory solution may be found
for this mysterious periodical solar
disturbance, so intimately connected
with the meteorological conc, Ions
of the earth.

Parental Help.

Parents are too often slow to see the
motive of their children's kindest
actions. A little fellow has been read
ing of some young hero who helped
his father and mother in all sorts Of
ways; and after racking his brains to
think how he too can help, he remem-
bers that he can fetch his father
slippers, and take his boots away and
put them in the proper place. With
out saying word to anybody, when
evening comes he does it; but the
father is so occupied that he notices
not what the boy has done. The little
fellow hopes on, thinking that when
he goes to bed, his father will say how
pleased he was to see Charley SO will
ing to help; but not a word is uttered ;
and the boy goes up to bed with a
choking feeling i'll his throat. and
says his prayer by the bedside, with
sadness very real in his heart. Par
ents often complain of children not
being so ready to help as they should
be; the fault is with the parents, who
have not known how to evoke feelings
with which the heart of every child is
richly stored. All words Of approval
are helpful and encouraging. In a
large family there have been days of
anxiety and care. The eldest daughter
by her skill in teaching has earned a
little extra money, and without word
to anyone she lays nearly all of 1t out
in buying things that are much needed
in the house. What JOY fills her heart
when fond mother takes her aside,
and with emotion that cannot be con-
cealed, says how thankful she is for
such considerable kindness, and MUIR
murs !: &c I don't know what we should
do without you, da1ling." My friends,
do not be so chary of these words Of
encouragement.

The two cases already cited are the
only ones in which death has occurred
since my adoption of the iodine treat
ment.
Case V.-Fifteen days ago worn
out cripple came to see me from the
timber regions, much run down ply
sically, and with his throat in an ap-
parently gangrenous condition. The
prompt free use of iodine enabled him
to engage in his usual avocation in the
course Of six days.
These and numerous other cases,
show that the remedy is of decided
value, sufficient to warrant its trial in
every case of diphtheria, to the ex-
clusion of other constitutional
remedies
