effective and powerful epithet.
The placidity Of expression wern by a
man who Is "next" in a full barber shop
cannot be coVnterfeited, even by an old
maid with her first love letter.
Flowers should deck the brow of the
youthful bride, for they are in them
selves a lovely type of marriage. They
should Irvine around the tomb, for their
perpetually renewed beauty is a symbol
of tie resurrection.
Affection can Withstand very sever
storms of rigor, but not a long continued
frost of downright Indifference. Love
will subsist on wonderfully little hope,
but not altogether without it. Woman's
love is more enduring than mans.
A man stopping as paper, wrote to
the editor: 81 think folks ottent to spend
their money for payper, my dadda did
dent, and everybody sed he was the in
telligentest man in the country and he

She me him at the door and ushered
him in; then said, "the weather has
changed rather suddedly." ayes, got
damp-quickp said he, and to this day
he cannot account for her leaving the
room so unceremoniousiy, and the "old
man" appearing and conducting him out.
Throughout France, gardening is prac,
tically taught in the primary and ele-
mentary schools. There are at present
$4,000 of these schools, each of which
has a garden attached to it, and is under
the care of a master capable of impart-
ing a knowledge of the principles of
horticulture.
DIR. Denny, of Kankakee, ILL.,, is an
advocate of the old fashioned straw
hives for bees. He says they are warmer
than hives made of wood, or earthen,
and as q consequence fewer bees die
from the effects of cold. Swarms win
tered in straw hives come out in the
Spring in much better condition than
those kept in other hives.
An American writing from Spain III.
ges the shipment of labor-saving imple-
ments there. Spanish farmers pillow
with the end of a piece of wood about
five inches thick, as was done in the
middle ages. Sowing and reaping ma
chimes are unknown, and grain is not
threshed. Oxen tread it out, and it is
Yinnowed by women, who toss it into
the air TO scatter the chaff.
AS soon as Toilet had recovered some
what from his exhaustion and his loss o.
Wood, he and his boy were placed upon 9
leigh, and his wound was carefully band
aged. He now learned that his rescuer
were on their way to a funeral, which wa
to take place on the next day, but, on ac-
count of the distance TO the church, they
had been Obliged to start during the night.
Hence their solemn mood, and their sing
ing funeral hymns.
DR.. Nehinger has asked the Philads-
phia Board of Education to issue a circu-
lar on the subject of Observation-Disclosures in
school children, which the Doctor de-
clares is increasing. This defective vision,
he was assured, was caused by imperfect
light, and the other unhealthy condi-
lions under which the lessons were
learned, occasioned by the position at
school, the hours of study, and the ina
bility of the child's brain to grapple
with the tasks imposed won 1t.
A new patent, secured in England, liz
wolves the mixing of paints and varnish-
es with phosphorescent salt, or n mix
ture of lime and sulphur. This compo-
out by night. Practically the ~patentee
applies it to clock faces, SO that at night
the hands may be seen distinctly; but
his patent claims its use for all kinds of
lighting purposes. Rooms may be paint
ed with 1t, and streets so coated as to be-
come self-luminous: also ships, buoys,
and the other objects used in the sigma.

No insect which usually infests the
house and crawls over the floors or
woodwork can live under the applica-
of hot alum water. 1t will destroy red
and black ants, cockroaches, spiders, and
chintz-bugs. Take two pounds of alum
and dissolve in three or four quarts of
boiling water; let it stand on the fire
until the alum is all melted, then app!y
it with a brush(whiie nearly boiling hot
TO every joint and crevice in your clos
cts, bedsteads, pantry shelves, etc. If in
w~hitewashing a ceiling, plenty of alum
is added to the whitewash, it will keeI
off insects.
A Boston parson, who has written a
book against dancing, gives this descrip-
ton of n ball Just look at them. There,
elevated on n table, is a moustached
gentleman, holding a piece of wood to
his shoulder and frantically drawing
poor horse-hair over the dried viscera
of a dead feline, shouting v~ociferously
incoherent sounds, the meaning of which
may be guessed at, while men and wo-
men are mostly jumping up and down,
scolding, laughing. shouting, coughing,
wheeling, bowling, smiling, frowning,
winking, blinking, pushing, pulling,
sweating, rushing, laundering, rumbling,
tramping and stamping until the body is
exhausted and the lungs cry for air."
a. lecturer on natural history was cali
ed upon the other day to pay for a live
rabbit which he had in a basket in a
railway car, and which the conductor
said would be charged the same as a dog.
The lecturer vainly explained that he
was going to use the rabbit in illustra-
ton of a lecture he was about to give
in another town, and, Indignantly tax
ing a small live tortoise from his pocket,
said, you'll be telling me next that this
is n dog, and that l must pay for it also"
The conductor went for superior orders,
and on his return delivered this lecture
on natural history Cats is dogs, rab-
bits is dogs, but a tortus is n hinsect."
The professor had to pay dog fare for
the rabbit.
i WRESTLING TREE.-In the deep and
almost impenetrable forests of Nubia is
found n tree hat utters at times the most
mournful and plaintive notes. Sometimes
these oun are shrill and clear, at others
die away to an almost imperceptible whis-
per, a. if some captive spirit were complain
ing of its lot. The effect is singular, weird
and startling, until the cause is known.
The tree is a species of Acacia, and the
sound is produced by cup-shaped gals or
yecretions of some insect. The wind in
