THE SEPTEMBER SKIEs.-The astrono.
mer of the Providence Journal points out
the fact that the observer of the planets
will find this month material Of unusual
interest. Venus and Mercury will reach
their eastern elongations; Mercury will be
in clcso conjunction with Spica, and make
near approach to Mars; Jupiter will be
in quadrature; Venus and the crescent
moon will shine together in the western
sky, and the full harvest moon will be the
crowning feature of the nights of the early
autumn. Every night the aspect will vary.
Never in the lifetime of the observer will
the same picture be repeated. The Sep.
tember moon fulls the 9th at twenty-six
minutes after midnight. 1t is the beauti
full harvest moon. and possesses special
claims TO distinction. For. owing to the
position of the ccliptic in regard to the
equator at this season, the moon rises for
several consecutive nights with only
a comparatively small interval between
tho successive risings. The short autumnaI
days seem thus to be prolonged by the
floods of silvery moonlight that make the
night beautiful as day. The phenomenon
is as easily explained rs the axial rotation
of the earth. But in the older times, when
man was nearer to nature, the harvest
moon was considered direct interposi
ton of providence to assist the husband.
man in gathering in the harvest. The new
moon of the 18th is in the conjunction will

Venus on the 10th. p'ssing n degree and

A recent visitor to the Poet Tennyson
says that his manner has brusqueness
and bluntness about it which is at first
rather startling to one who has only
known him through his books. lie utters
his opinions in plain straightforward
way, choosing the homliest Saxon words
and rarely rising TO anything like the he.
roic strain. His disregard for the conven-
alities of life is, however, thoroughly natu-
raj and unaffected. He is an inveterate
smoker. A brother poet who spent week
with him Mt his country seat says that
cigars have no charm for him. lie prefers
a pipe, and of all pipes in the world the
common clay pipe is his choice. His den
is at the top Of the house. When he sits
down TO work in the morning II huge to-
bacco jar, large enough for an ancestral
urn, is ut his feet together with II box full
of white clay pipes. Filling one of these
he smokes until it is empty, breaks it in
twain, and throws the fragments into
another box prepared for their reception.
Then he pulls out a fresh pipe, fills it,
smokes it and destroys it rs before. lie
will not smoke pipe the second time.
| His chief delight Is not in communion
with his fellows. Rather it is to lounge at
tho window of his study, surrounded by
u few choice books of nvorito authors,
and in view of the magnificent island
scenery, with the gray line Of undulating
| hills and the streak Of silver sea in the
distance.

The new style of bed quilt, the Oscar
Crazy" has a sunflower in the middle.
and ali about it patches of silk and velvet
of every color to be found in your own
rag bag, borrowed, begged or stolen, from
those of your friends. These patches are
not square, nor triangular, nor hexagonal,
like those used by our grandmothers, but
are in whatever irregular shape it pleased
the dressmaker TO leave them, and are
matched together as best they may be.
The fair makers Of these quilts try to
arrange he patches so that each will bring
out the colors of those adjacent to it, and
in consequence one may often see maid
en- dropping all forlorn, and lamenting
that she cannot find the wished-for scrap
Of stuff needed to 20 on with her work,

truly precious bit of silk, sweetly har-
monizing shred Of satin.-Supltv Budget.

FACTS ABOUT EGYPT.-The nominal
ruler of Egypt is the Khedive-pronounc-
cd Cadccc, with the accent on the second
syllable. The word means nearly the
same rs king. The title was conferred in
1866 by an imperial frn,qn, or decree, OF
the Sultan of Turkey,
The Sultan is suzerain of Egypt. That
is TO say, while Egypt is Independent in
its government, 1t owes service and tribute
to the Sultan. The rights granted may
be revoked. The situation of Egypt with
respect to Turkey is not very unlike the
relation of Canada to Great Britain.
The first Khedive was Ismail Pacha
Pacha is otherwise spelled pasha, pashaw
and bashaw. 1t is pronounced pashaw,
with the accent on the last syllable. 1t
means governor, but is title which Is
frequently conferred upon men who are
not governors, such as sons of the Khedive,
generals and cabinet ministers.
3ey is lower title than pacha, but also
means governor. 1t is pronounced bag
Il is sometimes spelled beg" but the
pronunciation is the same. The sons O
pachas are ,led beys.
Tae famous minister of war is Arab
P.,cha Both as in Arabi's name are like
in tw. the is short, as in big, and the
accent is on the second syllable
The present Khedivc is Tewtik-pro
nounced as it is spelled (eW like eau il

be lie is the eldest son OF Ismail, The
first Khedivc, who was deposed in 1879 by
the Sultan. lie is grandnephew Of Me
henct Ali, who was the first ruler o
Etypt under the suzerainty of Turkey.
rhe present troubles have grown largely
out of money questions. Stated in thu
briefest possible way, this is the state o
the case: The former Khedive was enor
mousy extravagant, and incurred a griev
Gus foreign debt. A large part of the deb
was incurred in the construction of tht
Suez canal.

PAPER FLooRs.-Auew 4 aud apparently
good process for covering floors is iesrtib.
cd rs follows in the J0HfRN o. LhaaNi,W
THE floor is thoroughly cleaned The
holes and cracks are then filled with paper
putty, made by soaking newspaper in a
paste made of wheat flour, water, and
ground alum, as follows: To one pound of
flour add three quarts of water and a
tablespoonful of ground alum, and mix
thoroughly. The floor is then coated
with this paste, and then Il thickness OF
MANILA or hardware paper is put on. II
two layers are desired, II second covering
of paste is put on. This is allowed to dry
thoroughly. The manila paper is then
covered with paste, and Il layer of wall
paper of any style or design desired, is
put on. After allowing this to thoroughly
dry, it is covered with two or more coats
of sizing, made by dissolving one hall
pound of white glue in two quarts Of hot
water. After allowing this to dry, the
surface is given one coat of hard oil-6nisb
varnish. which comes and is bought already
prepared. This is allowed to dry thor
oughly, when the floor is ready for use.'
The process is represented to be durable
and cheap, and besides taking the place OF
mating, carpet, oil cloths, or other cover
ings, makes the floor alright, and capable
of being washed or scrubbed.

the cemeteries, and on the great open space

RESERVED POwER.-It is not wise 10
work constantly up to the highes, rate o.
which we ale capable, If the engineers 0
the railroad were TO keep the speed of his
train up to the highest rate he could
attain with his engine, it would soon be
used up. If n horse is driven at the top Of
his speed for any length Of time, he is
ruined. 1t is well enough to try the pow
er, occasionally, of horse or engine 10y
putting on all the motion they will bear,
but not continuously. All machinests
construct their machines so that there
shall be reserve force. IF the power
required is four horse, then they make
n six horse power, In this case it works
easily and lasts long. A man who has
strength enough to do twelve honest hours
of labor ia twentY-four, and no more
should do but nine hours work The
reserve power keeps the body in repair.
1t rounds out the frame to full proportions.
1t keeps the mind cheerful, hopeful, happy.
The person who has no reserve force is
always incapable of taking on any more
responsibility than he already has. A little
exertion puts him out of breath. He can
not increase his work for an hour without
danger of explosion. Such are generally
pale, dyspeptic, boodless, nervous irri-
table, despondent. gloomy. We all pity
them. The great source of power in the
individual is the blood. 1t runs the ma.
chinery of life, and upon it depends our
health and strength. A mill on stream
where water is scanty can be worked but
a portion of the time. So II man with little
good blood can do but little good work.
The reserve power must be stored up in
this fluid. 1t is an old saying among
stock-raisers that "blood tells" 1t is
equally true that blood tells in the sense
in which we use the word. If it is only
good blood, then the more the better

Take pains in putting up fruit for city
markets it pays to do it. Pears, apples
peaches, ETC., should be carefully assorted
into three lots, the poorest to be kept at
home, and the others marked first and Sec
ond best for market. This is the proper
course if good returns are desired Unless
sorted, the price is generally fixed by the
poorer in quality and size, not by the finer
fruit. The price for the lot is brought
down to the level Of the poorer sorts.
Fruit that is to be shipped very far must
be picked before it is quite mellow, or it
will not carry well. Great care in this
respect is necessary with pears. In pack
ing apples, the process of sorting is very
important. DO not mix large apples with
small ones, and be honest enough to have
the fruit run alike, as to siz3 and quality,
all through the barrel, If dealers detect
this deception, US they surely will, Dlr
