GuidO'S Model,

When Guido sent his picture of st.
Michael to the Cappucini in Rome, he
wrote as follows concerning it: II wish
l had the wings of an angel to have as
cended into Paradise, and there to have
beholden the forms of those beatified
spirits from which might have copied
my archangel; but not being able to
mount SO high, it was in vain for me to
search for his resemblance here below;
SO that 7 was forced to make an intro
spection into my own mind, and into
that idea of beauty which I have formed
in my own imagination" 1t is said that
this was always his method-to try 10
represent some ideal beauty rather than
to reproduce the actual loneliness of any
living model. He would pose his color
grinder, or any person at his command,
in the attitude he desired, and, after
drawing the outline from them, he
would supply the beauty and the ex-
preston from his own imagination.
This accounts for the sameness in his
heads; his women and children are
pretty, ais men lack dignity; and we
feel this especially in his representations
of Christ.
1t is said that on one occasion noble.
man, who was very fond OF the painter
Guercino, went to Guido, at the request
of his favorite artist, to ask if he would
not tell what beautiful woman was the
model from which he painted all the
graces which appeared in his works. In
reply, Guido called his color. grinder,
who was dirty, ugly-looking fellow;
he made him sit down and turn his head
to look up at the sky. He then sketched
Magdalen in the same attitude, and
with the same light and shadow as fell
on the ugly model; but the picture had
the beauty and expression which might
suit al angelic being. The nobleman
thought this was done by some trick,
but Guido said: "No, my dear count;
but tell your painter that the beautiful
and pure idea must be in the head, and
then it is no matter what the model is"
Considering the work of this artist
with the cooler and more critical judg-
ment made possible by the lapse of 80
many years, the truth seems to be that
Guido was not truly great painter,
but he had lofty conception Of beauty,
and tried to reach it in his pictures.
In his best work there is no full depth
of meaning, and great sameness of ex-
preston marks them as the pictures Of
AN artist lacking originality and inven-
tive power. list. Nicholas.

Murder by Burial.

No scientific discoveries have been
made in our generation of greater i'm
portance than those of M. Pasteur. As
many of our readers are aware, they
relate to the propagation of disease
through living organisms, those known
as bacilli and bacteria being most fire
quently connected with the morbid
processes OF disease. M. Pasteur finds
that THESE microscopic forms Of life
exist especially in dead bodies that
they work their way up through the
soil to the surface, are taken into the
intestines of grazing cattle or are dis.
tributed by the Winds, and so, it would
seem probable, propagate q whole
school of diseases-such as smallpox,
scarlatina, typhoid and typhus fevers,
diphtheria, tubercular consumption,
pneumonia, erysipelas, ETC., and, per.
haps, yellow fever. M. Pasteur men
tions the splenic fever which prevails
in France and other countries of
Europe, and which annually destroys
thousands of cattle and sheep. In one
such case be discovered that an cpl
demic of this disease was followed after
some years by its fresh outbreak among
cas.le that had been grazing in the
fields where, previously, victims of the
same disease had been buried under
the pasture. The little bacteria had
worked their way from the buried car
cases to the surface, and were found in
swarms in the intestines of earth-worms
gathered there.
1t ought to be the business OF scien-
tifc people to show the relation of
these facts-if they can be accepted as
facts-to our present method of dis
posing of the dead. If the breezes that
blow from Greenwood, Mount Auburn
and Laurel hill are laden with germs
which propagate the diseases that have
already slain our kindred, then the
most expensive feature of those cities of
the dead is not their costly monuments.
1t is worth while to ask ourselves
whether the disciples of cremation have
not truth on their side, and VIII ether
some amendment is not needed in the
modes of burial which, in this country
especially, appear destined to resist the
operations of Nature as long as possible,
and SO to make dead body a source of
indefinite evil.
Indeed, the whole matter of our
burial customs is one which urgently
needs revision. It is astonishing that,
in connection with risks so many and
various as are involved in our modes of
burying our dead, there should have
been, in modern times, so little care
and forethought. The jewellers in
proximity to graveyards who have been
poisoned by their drainage include a
vast multitude whose number has never
been reckoned. -GCentury.

Tho Influence Of Malaria Couuteracsed.

That the harmful influence upon the human
system OF malaria may be effectually counter
acted has been demonstrated for years past,
by the protection afforded the Inhabitants OF
vast Demonstrating districts in North and
South America, Guatemala, Mexico and the
West Indies, by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Used as preventive they have invariably beeb
found to be most reliable safeguard against
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and still
more malignant types OF malarious disease,
and when employed as a-remedy have always
proved their adequacy to, the task Of eradicat
ing such maladies from The system. For dis
orders Of the stomach, liver and bowels, which
in hot climates and miaematic localities arc
particularly rife, the Bit,ers are a prompt and
thorough remedy. They also strengthen tho
system, tranquilize he nerves, promote diges-
ton and sound sleep, and impart unwonted
relish for food.

AGRICULTURAL.
Mistakes In Using Manure.

In my method of using stable manure,
mainly to help the clover, I aim to
make little go as far AS possible. Ii
had good deal I should certainly
apply it all but wish to cover or par
TALLY cover as much ground as possible.
If had only load per acre, should
try to spread the load over as large a
part as possible, rather than dump it in
one corner. Yet I find the contrary
prcatice quite prevalent. The drawing
out of manure is mostly entrusted to
hired help, and it is one of the things
that most employees will not do we'll.
Only yesterday I saw man and team
drawing manure for wheat at the rate
OF fully twenty-five horse loads per
acre, an amount that should be glad
to get for my corn and potatoe ground,
Close by this three.acre piece thus
heavily MANFRED is another field of len
acres, owned by the same farmer, that
will get nothing except dressing of
phosphate drilled in with the wheat.
What will be the result? Where sixty
loads were applied to three acres the
wheat will fall down, probably fill inn
perfectly, and partly smother the clover
seeding. On the ten acres not top
dressed the clover will be stunted and
poor. The sixty loads Of fine manure
would have made fair top dressing for
thirteen acres, would have given more
wheat, and probably twice the clover
growth year hence that there will be
now. In the spring there is less disad-
vantage in concentrating the manure
on small part of the titled field, and
there may often be good reasons for
making small field as rich as possible !;
but in the fall, for top-dressing wheat,
and especially where clover is to be
sown in the spring, the advantage is
altogether in covering the whole sur
face as nearly as possible. [Cor. Coun-

An Extraordinary Plea.

In the southern part of Indiana resides
a young physician, talented, industrious
and popular, who some years ago took
for wife beautiful and wealthy young
lady. The young couple lived in one OF
the handsomest houses in the town, and
apparently enjoyed all that wealth and
refined taste could supply. The doctors
practice increased, and his reputation
spread. He was often absent at night,
attending patients, and his wife demand
ed that he should give up portion OF
his business, as she was rich, and spend
more time at home. This he declined
to do; his wife made this basis for b
claim for divorce, and the court has just
granted it. 'f'

japanese Houses.


A Japanese house is really double
affair. The most expense is put into
the roof, which is OF splendid heavily
tile in all the towns and villages. On
the isolated farm houses straw thatch is
used more extensively. The roof is
sustained by uprights framed into it,
which have their foundation on the
ground. The floor is generally about
two feet above the ground, and is
divided into rooms by paper partitions,
which are in sections and slide in
grooves. They can, at pleasure, be
entirely removed, leaving, if necessary,
the entire area in one room. The sides
of the building, or at least one or more,
are also in sections, which slide in
grooves and are removed during the day,
if required. Generally there is B space
left for passageway between the out
side and the inner partitions forming
tho rooms, SO that in winter the rooms
enclosed only by paper screens are made
warm and comfortable by the protection
of the outer shell when slid into posi-
ton, while in summer the facility with
which all partitions are removed insures
good ventilation. Very many of the
houses are built with an interior court,
devoted to ornamental shrubs and
flowers. showing an admirable degree OF
aesthetic taste In the people,

The Wheat Plant.

The wheat plant requires three things
to bring it to perfection, viz. heat, air,
and moisture-to withhold either of
which is to defeat the end in view. You
may SOW wheat in dry dust, and it will
fail to terminate. Subject it to "a slight
degree of moisture, and, although it
will vegetate, it will come up sickly
and wear sickly appearance, from
which it rarely if ever RECEIVERS. And
SO, by subjecting it to too much moist
ure, the excess of water will dilute it to
such degree as to destroy what little
amount of plant food the kernel con-
tanned. Give kernel Of wheat all the
soil, light, and air that it needs, and
keep it in a temperature of thirty de.
grees or under, and it's terminating
principle will be held in suspense and
SO, on the other hand, too much heat
will destroy the germ as readily as too
much cold or too much moisture. From
the above facts We may learn some USE
full lessons in regard to the depth of
putting in wheat, as we'll as to the
proper time of sowing-the former de-
pending somewhat on the dryness of
the ground and the latter on its tenn.
perature.
AS soon as termination takes place
two sets of organs are set to work, the
one (the spire) rearing its head above
ground to get light and air, and the
other 1.-THE root) cropping it's way under
ground and throwing out its tiny fingers
in search of food, and in doing so per-
forming the work of the most practiced
chemist for, on meeting with combi-
nation of food elements (some of which
are exactly suited to the wants of the
plant, while others are not), it deity
separates the good from the bad, essim-
Hating that which Is desirable and re-
jecting that which is hurtful.
To study the effect of water upon the
plant is also instructive. No substance
is available as plant food unless in solu-
bic condition, and therefore if water is
wanting, the plant suffers aud dies, be-
cause the little rootlets cannot absorb
its nourishment unless in liquid form.
And so, if the water be in excess, it
dilutes the plant food to such an extent
as to destroy its nourishing effect, con-
sequently the plant becomes enfeebled
and perishes or when the water be-
comes stagnant, it renders the food so
repulsive that the plant in rejecting it
suffers for the want of proper nourish-
ment and dies.
The process OF the tillering of the
plant has much to do with its produc-
tiveness. AS soon as the parent stem
forces itself above ground and throws
out its first leafet to the light and air,
a slight enlargement of the lower end
of the stem takes place, from which are
thrown out cluster of little rootlets,
which, finding more nourishment than
the plant requires, force up other
sprouts to appropriate the excess, form
ing what is called a 'stool" of stems
from the same rotv. This "stooling"
has much to do with the successful
srowing OF wheat. and may be effectu-
ally promoted by careful selection of
the seed and giving it the requisite
room.

The faster the horse goes the tighter
