Hohenstauffen and the Popes, though
resembling it in the apparent inequality
of the combatants, was an open one,
and was waged on definite principles,
for comprehended ends. The Popes,
though yielding spiritual power, were
as visible as their adversaries, and near

acts. The Nihilist Committee is invisi-

Peanut Candy.-The thick peanut
candy sold by the confectioners is made
by removing the shells and skins from
roasted nuts, putting them an inch thick
in buttered tin pan, and pouring over
them sufficient sugar boiled to caramel
point to hold the nuts together, but not
to cover them; directly after sugar has
reached the degree of boiling indicated
in the preceding receipt, it begins to
burn; at this moment the sugar-boiler
must be taken from the fire, set at once
into a pan of cold water to check the
boiling, and the caramel, as the boiled
sugar is now called, is poured over the
nuts; white sugar is to be used in making
this candy.-N Y Times.

THE FIRST PAGE or AN ALNANAC.-Very
few people know the signifcation of the va
rious signs peculiar to the almanac, and
some of them are not exactly clear to US.
In the first instance the man who stands in
the centre with his vest unbuttOned in such
a manner as to expose his alimentary canal,
has always been a mystery to US. Why In
every almanac for the past century this man,
with all his works exposed to the cold night
air, should be given the most prominent
place in a literary work like the almanac, we
are unable to clearly understand. He GER
tainly can claim no great degree of consider,
alton for this act. 1t does not entitle him tC
any amount of prominence, for the public dc
not thirst for a view of man who has made
an autopsy of himself and is apparently
proud of it. What the planets have to dc
with cardiac orifce, we do not at this mo
ment know positively, or why astronomy
and the gastric juices should have anything
in common.
Again we must come out and confess oul
ignorance as to the bearing that the ram, ol
the tarantula, or the twins, or the crab, Of
other astronomical delirium tremens may
have upon the weather. OF course it is stu
pidty, and we ought to be ashamed of it
When our son gets old enough to look int
these things, we will see that he isn't left t
grope along through life and make a moral
show of himself as his father has.-Boon1e-

MATRIMONIAL CHANCES.

some Interesting facts and deductions: In q
thousand cases no one is married before the
age Of fifteen. The marriage Of women at
that age is not unknown, but it is rare. Men
do not begin to marry. as a rule, until they
are eighteen years old. At the age of nine
teen, when young men are Just beginning TO
think seriously Of the subject. young women
are at their most favorable time, more Of
them marrying at that age than at anyother.
The years Of greatest probability with wO-
men are from eighteen to twenty-five, cul-
minating at twenty-five. At twenty and
twenty-One the chances are even, being bet
ter at nineteen and twenty two than at either

Of thirty-twO do the chances fall below one

the rest Of her life the Chancee are but sev-

no marriage occurring at that age, and al
the ageOf fifty-four. At fifty-fve and fifty

his chances for marriage are tolerably good
to the last. His best wears are ten in mum
Der, from twenty-one to thirty inclusive. 1t
is at the age of twenty-One that he evidently
turns his atteEtiOn wifeward, and it may be
that legislators were entirely right in fixing
that as the year when he shall attain his ma
iority. His very best years are at twenty
three and twenty-five, as a girls are at nine
teenand twenty-five. From twenty-one there
is a pretty steady increase till he is twenty
five, and then his chances slowly decline. It
is worthy Of note that the sudden drop in the
chances of both men and women occurs the
year after they become cold bachelors OF
"old maids Men do not begin TO marry
till about three years later than women, but
they keep it up more or less steadily five
years later. With men the chances do not
fall below one in a hundred until the age Of

He WOULD LOSE IN PORK.-An incident

WHY THE cows CAME LATE.

Crimson sunset burning
O'er the tree-fTinged hills;
Golden are the meadows,
Ruby flashed the rills,
Quiet in the farmhouse,
Home the farmer HES
But his wife is watching,
Shading anxious eyes,
While she fingers with her pail beside the
barnyard gate,
Wondering why her Jenny and the cows
come home so late
Jenny, brown-eyed maiden,
Wandered down the lane
That was ere the daylight
Had begun to wane.
Deeper grow the shadows;
Crcling swallows cheep
KatvdidS are calling
MstS DER meadows creep,
Still the mother shades her eyes beside the
baTnyard gate,
And wonders where her Jenny and the cows
can be so late
Loving sounds are falling,
HOmeward now at last
Speckie Bess and Brindle
Through the gate have passed.
Jenny, sweetly blushing,
Jamie, grave and shy,
Take the pals from mother,
Who stands silent by.
Not one word is spoken as that mother shuts
the gate,
But now she knows why Jenny and the cows
came so late

Az extraordinary occurrence IS chrnnfcled

AN extraordinary occurrence is chrUuicled
as having taking place in a prayer meeting
in Richmond, Va. But for the well-kuown
veracity of the source whence the report
comes it might be supposed to be a story set
on foot by mischievous small boys, but as the
Religious Herald gives it for fact tits entitled
to belief "At the Pine Street Baptist
church prayer-meeting, a few evenings ago,
while a deacon was leading the devotiOns Of
the congregations, q hornet worked its way
up his pantaloons and stuug him five times.
The deacon's PRAYER was shorter than usual
and he took no further part in the meeting. ~
The wonderful persistency Of that deacon I'm
continuing to pray while the hornet, having
stung him once, kept on stingiug him iour
times more, shows a remarkable degree Of
perseverance combined with meekness.
Most human beings would have instantly
brought down the palm of the hand on the
place where the hornet was attending to
business, and that with such mighty whack
that the creature would never have stung
any more deacons. Its interesting to know
that this deacon took no further part in the
prayer-meeting. Some men are so fond of
making speeches in prayer-meeting that
after being stung four OF five times by
hornets they would Iise to favor their breth-
ren with few bits of experience concerning
the same. Possibly the stinging of this
Richmond deacon by the hornet was a judg-
ment on him for having prayed too long.

How THEY PARTED.-A new song is en-
titled "How They Parted We have not
read it, but no doubt they parted in the US :
ual way, about 2 A. NJ, after kissing each
other' goodnight at least thirty seven times.
''WeH, l guess / must CO." he says with a
sigh about two hours before he does go.
Then after another haif-hour's conversation
about one thing and another, he presses her
hand with much pressiveness, says he really
must go, and-lovingly fingers another half
hour. Then be says he didn't know it was
so late, picks up his hat and moves toward
the door, where he puts his arm around her
to prevent her falling in a swoon, and kisses
her five minutes in one inning-and still lin
gers. Then he gives her one more kiss, just
for luck, and reluctantly steps down and out
into the black, lonesome night, and calls
around the next night. That is how they
parted years ago-if we have not been misin-
formed,
