"Nalt Is Ga0d."

Centuries before the sermon on the
Mount was delivered, and even ami
noW. the value of salt has been renog
nizeo by al intelligent beings. Wild
oirds and animals travelled long dis.
tances IN search of it, and often tsrrieo
long 10 the places where it abounds.

from tins earliest heroic times. Since
these facts are generally ackuowl-
edged, 1t appears strange that so
many farmers are exceedingly psrsi-
monlous In regard to the use OF salt.
Every year We hear of persons at
tempting TO keep herd of cattle or a
hock OF sheep during the entire season
without allowing them any salt Many
deal out salt TO stock as grudgingly as
IT 1t was as costly as sugar. A large
proportion OF farmers allow their
mich COWS, and other animals kept
near the house. to partske of salt bat
once q week. If they have stock in
distant pasture, the sslting time &C.
ours only once or twice a month.
When the animals receive il they sa:
more than is beneficial for them.
There is no good reason why stock OF
all kinds should not be allowed to
crafty their appetite for salt at any
time they choose. The animals know
better than their owners do when they
require it. Slight ingenuity is needed |
to place salt in a situation where it |

Why Eve Did Not Keep A Hired
Girl, e

A lady writer furnishes some of the
reasons why Eve did not keep a hired
girl. She says:
There has been q great deal said
about the faults OF women, and why
they need 30 much waiting on. Some
one, Ia man of course) has the pre-
sumption to ask, why when Eve was
manufactured of spare rib, q servant
was not made to wait upon her?
She didn't need any. A bright writer
hss said, "Adam never came home

High Prices and Food Products.

The high price of all the commos
articles of food seems destined to pro-
duce some good results. 1t is stimulat-
ing farmers, horticulturists, and others
to ascertain if they cannot add to the
number Of articles that have boen used
for human food. Attention has recent
ly been called to the profit in 0aising
rabbits for the supply of the table and
for the market. An unusual interest is
also taken in pigeons. A large number
of persons are preparing Gsh-ponds,
and taking measures to stock them.
The demand for hsh eggs and'small fry
was never as good as atpresent. There is
extraordinary interest in raising 2heep
for mutton. More Importance is at
tached to wild game than ever before;
the laws in relation to protecting game
are better observed, and considerable
pains are taken to produce suitable
food for wild birds. More attention is
being given to the production of plants
not in general cultivation. The m,ns.i-
room is being raised in many places
and cooked in a vsriety of ways. More
attention is being given to the produc-
ton of garden vegetables, squashcs,
and melons. Cultivation of the sweet
potato is becoming more general; OK
periments are being tried with upland
rice in different parts of the country.
The cultivation of asparagus, pie-plant,
and various plants used for greens is
increasing. Beans and peas, the cult
walton Of which has been neglected,
arc being bought on the market for
seed next season. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that the price of the more
common articles of food has advanced,
proporiionately. more than that of ar
ticles of luxury. This circumstance
will account for the great interest now
taken in increasing the number Of food
products.

The Wind as a Motive Power.

Turning, now. to sources of energy
derived from sun-heat, let us take the
wind first. When we look at The regis
ter of British shipping and see 10000
vessels, OF which about II, 900 are steam
ers and 80 600 sailing ships, and then
wo think how vast an absolute amount
of horsc-pow is developed by the en-
gines of those steamers, and how con-
siderable proportion it forms Of the
whole hor .e.pOwer taken from coal an
nually in the whole world ut the pres
ent time. and when we consider the
sailing ships of other nations, which
must be reckoned in the account, and
throw in the little item of windmills.
we find that, even in tho present day OF
steam ascendency. old-fashioned wind
still supplies large part OF all the en-
ergy used by man. But however
much we may regret the time when
Hoods young lady. visiting the fens Of
Lincolnshire at Christmas, and writing
to her dearest friend in London (both
sixty years old now if they are alive).
describes the delight of sitting in q
bower and looking over the wintry
plain, not jesolate because ''windmil.s
lend revolving animation to the scene"
we cannot shat our eyes to the fac' OF
a lament able dccadence Of wind-power.
Is it decadence permanent. or may we
hope that it is only temporary? The
subterrancan coal-stores of tho world
are becoming exhausted surely. and
not slowly, and the price of coal is up
ward bound-upward bound on tn"
whole, though no doubt it will have its
ups and downs in the future as it has
in the past. aud as must be the case in
respect to every marketable commodi-
ty. When the coal is all burned, or
long before i, is all burned, when there
is so little of it left. and the coal mines
from which that little is to be excavat-
cd are SO distant and deep and hot that
its price to the consumer is greatly
higher than at present. it is most prnb;.-
BILE that wind-mills or wind-motors in
some form will again be in the ascen-
dant, and that wind will do mans mo-
chanical work, on land at least, in pro-
portion comparable to is present doing

A Wonderfully Charming Woman.

A feminine paragon advertises for q
husband in a recent number If n Berlin
journal, ants on reading list of her
perfections it certainly seems strange
that such treasure should remain UNI
appreciated by the sterner Sex. She
announces that "a young noblewoman,
having large fortune and holding a
distinguished position, who is as lovely
as Helen, as good housekeepor as
Penelope, as economical as the Elec-
tress Marianne, of Brandenburg. and
as spt,Ttuelie as Madame dc Stael, who
sings like Jenny Lind. dances like Ger
ito. plays the piano like Rosa Castner,
the violin like Thebsita Milanollo, and
the harp like Bertrand, is as good a
sculptor as the Princess Marie. of Or
leans, and who is as austere as Lu-
cretia. having no masculine acquaint-
ances, seeks husband through the me-
dium Of this journal" The young lady
is certainly not blind to her own charms.
