LEARNING TO TIE KNoTs-A correspon,
dent of the Scientific american. suggests that
it would be handy accomplishment for
schoolboys to be proficient in the handling,
splicing, hitching, and knotting of ropes
He suggests the propriety of having the art
taught in our public schools. A common
jack-knife and few pieces. of clothes-lne are
the main appliances needed to impart the in.
structions He concludes that it would not
only be of use in ordinary daily life, but es:
pecially those who handle merchandise and
machinery. Any one, he adds, who has
noticed the clumsy haphazard manner in
which boxes and goods are tied for hosting
or for loading upon trucks, will appreciate
the advantage of practical instruction in this
direction. Probably good plan, he further
suggests, would be to have one school-boy
taught first by the master, and then let the
pupil teach the other boys.

To TELL THE AGE OF Cows.-The ages
of horned cattle may generally be known by
the rings on their horns till their tenth year ;
but after that time they give no indication
of age further than that the animal has pass
ed its tenth year. The first ring appears on
the horn after the animal is two years old
soon after, as a general rule, though some.
times before that age. During the third year
the ring gradually increases, and at three
years Of age is completely formed. The sec.
ond ring appears during the fourth year, and
at the end of the fifth year is complete. After
that period an additional ring is formed each
year. This rule iy sufficiently plain, and
even young farmer needs but little practice
to enable him to read the cows age on her
horns A COW with three rings is six years
old; with four, is seven years old. No new
rings are formed after the tenth year. The
deeper rings, however, and the worn appear
ance of the horns, are pretty sure indications
of old age.-Farmer's Advocate

How TO TREAT CoLD.-A sufferer gives
the following recipe: "When you get chilly
all over and way into your bones, and begin
to sniffie and almost struggle for your breath,
Just begin in time and your tribulations need
not last very long. Get some powdered borax
and snuff the dry powder up your nostrils
Get a camphor bottle, smell it frequently,
pour some on your handkerchief and wipe
your nose with it whenever needed. Your
nose will not get sore, and you will soon won

p9- English wives, high and low, keep
household accounts in way that would sur
prise many American women. Every penny
spent in the house goes down in the "house-
keepers book with which every mistress of
the house is provided. Every bill is filed
away carefully when receipted. In fact, a
perfect system of order prevails, which ena-
bles every man to know exactly what it costs
him to keep up bis home. In that country
every expenditure is made to bear its proper
relation to the income received. House rent
must be only such percentage, table outlay
so much, servants wages so much, cbildren's
schooling so much, alms-giying so much, and
if at the end of year it is found that the
income has been exceeded, these people i'm
mediately proceed to reduce items in every
department. The general style of their liv-
ing remains about the same, but it is necessa-
riy not quite so genuine.-Nev York Hour

What Is a Cold Bath Z

A cold bath is not necessarily q bath
in water OF the temperature of the atmos-
phere. A bath is truly and really cold
when it produces certain physiological
efect---a slight momentary shock fol-
lowed by pleasant aud lasting reaction.
The effects are for the majority of peo-
pie most pleasantly obtained by bathing
in water about 35 deg to 40 deg below
the temperature Of the body-the usual
temperature Of unheated water in June
and July. Bearing this ia mind we can
enjoy ouA physiological "cold " bath as
safely and pleasantly at Christmas as at
midsummer, and there is 40 necessity
for the most timid or weakly to discon-
tinue his morning tub because the sum
mer weather Is over. When the water
sinks below temperature of 60 deg, let
it be heated to that point and then used,
and we shall still have our "cold" bath,
though Of heated water The daily slim
ulant effect Of such bath is so beneficial
to the great majority Of persons and is Of
suoh marked service in maintaining
health. that it is very important to have
It widely known that cold bath may he
taken all the year round, provided cold
is not mistaken to mean sat the temper
atnre Of the outer air To heat our bath
during the winter months is too often
thought to be unlnanlv, while in reality
it is truly scientific, and to battle in I'M
heated water all the year round, what
ever the temperature that water may be,
is to prove ones self an ignorant slave of
outward circumstances. Lancet.

A New Sensation.

A sensational story is in circulation, 10
the effect that butter which has been
adnlterated with soapstone has been
sent from Western cities to New York for
sale; and that some Western farmers
have purchased the soapstone finely
ground. by the barrel for the purpose of
mixing it with their butter. This story
is transparent fraud beyond doubt
What its object may be. for it has an OBJ
ject certainly, is difficult 20 comprehend,
unless it he an attack upon the reputa-
ton of Western butter. That it is with
out good basis may easily be proved by
any person who knows what soapstone
is, or who will procure some and try for
himself if he can add 30 per cent. in
weight of it, that is. 10 pounds to 30
pounds Of butter, or even more, as it is
charged, without easy detection by tn.

Bookbinding.

The bookbinders' craft was at its
zenith Just before the invention of
printing; it has waned since, because
nobody wou1d care nowadays to give
such prices as were cheerfullv paid for
books In the days when it took twenty
five months of patient scribe's work to
produce one copy of the Bible. The
bindings of such costly books were
works Of art. Milan first, we are told.

Spanish leather. arabesqued and gilt.
which superseded the old-fashioned
bindings of wood, metal, or ivory but
until the close of the fifteenth century
the bindings of presentation volumes
and Of church books used on the high
affairs Of cathedrals were mostly of solid
gold or silver. Bruges produced some
beautiful works Of this description, like
wise bindings IN cloth of gold wrought
with sit of many colors. At Ypres, the
great cloth mart of North Europe, were
first made plain bindings of cloth, en-
broidered more or less; but these were
used only for small volumes of iests and
ballads, and for the horn books out Of
which the children in noble families
learned their letters. Venice had
name for its bindings in ivory and woods
from the East Florence, like Client in
Flanders, abounded in brass artificers.
and produced brazen bindings gilt or
silvered, each one the work of a master
craftsman, for none ventured to make
book-covers who were not skilled with
their tools; but the most gorgeous bind
ings of all that were made before the
invention of printing came from Rome.
Here the guild of italian goldsmiths had
its chief hall and there was always a
sure sale for rich bindings of wrought
gold, seeing that the Kings and
potentates who came to visit the Papal
See invariably gave and received pres

Awful German Grammar.

A person who has not studied German
can form no idea what perplexing Ian
guage it is. Surely there is not another
language that is so slip-shod and system
less and SO slippery and Elusive to the
grasp One is washed about in it, hither
aud thither, in most helpless way; and,
when at last he thinks he has captured
rule which offers finn ground to take a
rest on, amid the general rage and turmoil
of the ten parts of speech, he turns over
the page and reads, Let the pupil take
note Of the following crceptao,.s.' He
runs his eye down, and finds that there
are more exceptions to the rule than in
stances of it. So overheard he goes
a, min to hunt for another Ararat and find
another quicksand.
There are ten parts of speech, and they
are all troublesome An average sentence
in German newspaper is a sublime and
impressive curiosity; it occupies quar-
ter of column: it contains all the ten
parts of speech--not in regular order, but
mixed; it is built mainly Of compound
words constructed by the writer on the
spot, and not to be found in any diction-
ary-six or seven words oompacted into
out hyphens; it treats of fourteen or if
teen different subjects, each Enclosed in
q parcnthesis Of its own, with here and
there extra parentheses which re-inclose
three or four of the minor parentheses.
making pens within pens; finally. all the
parentheses and re-parcntheges are
massed together between q couple of
king -parentheses, one of which is placed
in the first line of the majestic sentence
and the other in the middle Of the last
line of it--dfter sohich comes the Uerb.
and you find out for the first time what
the man has been talking about; and
after the verb--merely by way Of orna-
ment as far as j can make out-the
writer shovels in "habea sind ge,cesea
geisabt habea ge,oorden seiss, or words
to that effect, and the monument is fin
ished.
Now observe the adjective. Here was
q case where simplicity would have been
an advantage; therefore, for no other
reason, the inventor of the language
complicated it all he could. When a
German gets his hands ON an adjective,
he declines it and keeps on declining ii
until the common sense is oil declined
out of it.
Some German words are SO long that
they have perspective. Observe these
examples:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Observation-Disclosures.
These things are not words they are
alphabetical PROFESSIONS And they are
not rare; one can open German paper
any time and see them marching majes-
tically across the page and if be has any
imagination he can see the banners aud

The LORDS Prayer.

When the elder Booth was residing in

man of that city, hearing of his won
derful power OF elocution, one day in
vited him to dinner, although always
deprecating the stage and all theatrical
performances. s large company sal
down at the table aud, on returning to
the drawing room, one of them asked
Booth, as a special favor to them all, to
repeat the Lords prayer. He signified
his willingness to crafty them, and all
eyes were fixed upon him. He slowly
and reyerently arose from his chair,
trembling with the burden of two great
conceptions. He had to realize the
character, attributes and presence Of the
Almighty being he was to address. He
was to transfer himself into poor, sin
ming, stumbling, benighted, needy sup
plicant, offering homage, asking bread,
pardon, light and guidance. Says one
of the company who was present cit
was wonderful to watch the play of emo
tons that convulsed his countenance
He became deadly pale, and his eyes,
turned trenblingly upward. were wet
with tears. As yet he had not spoken.
The silence could be felt--it had become
absolutely painful-until at last the
spell was broken as if by an electric
hook, as his rich-toned voice syllabled
forth, Our Father who art in heaven
ETC., with pathos and fervid solemnity
which thrilled all hearts. He finished
The silence continued not a voice was
heard, not a muscle moved In his rapt
audience, until, from remote corner OF
the room, a subdued sob was heard, and
the old gentleman (the host) stepped
forward with streaming eyes and totter-
ing frame, and seized Booth by the
hand Sir, said he, in broken ac-
cents, you have afforded me a pleasure
for which my whole future life will feel
grateful. am an old man, and every
day, from boyhood to the present time,

You are right, replied Booth; to read
that prayer as it should he read caused
me the severest study and labor for thir-
ty years, and / am far from satisfied
with my rendering Of that wonderful
production. Hardly one person in
ten thousand comprehends how much
beauty, tenderness and grandeur cen be
condensed in space so simple. That
prayer of itself sufficiently illustrates
the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon
It the seal of divinity. Hiance.
