Home Influences.

It was Napoleon who said that the
character and fate of the child was the
work of the mother. Largely this is
true, though not III sense TO exclude
the influence OF the father, especially in
the case of boys. The child is often left
to the mothers care. A double duty is
hers to that which God gave is added
that which man shifted upon her, and
with her rests the whole work Of prepar-
ing her child for the grave encounters of
life. In how many homes does mothers
intercourse with her children alternate
between caressing indulgence and pettish
fault finding? In how many are the
bodies pampered aud dressed, children
reduced to mere ornaments to crafty
paternal vanity, while the affections are
thwarted, and all the highest possibilities
of the mind either uncultured orrepulsed.
Girlhood and boyhood pass, the old home
is left, and the new begun away from old
scenes and associations restrained no
longer, but altogether free. still you trace
childhood influences. When your boy
steps into the street he opens oil the
doors of his home he carries out n pho
tograph of his parents to be seen of their
neighbors. When the little girl goes
into the next house she carries the do
nestle newspaper abroad. Dear reader,
isyour domestic newspaper readable?

Walking Horses,

Running the risk of being set down as
an old fogy, we will say that i'll our opin-
ion the best gait a horse ever had for
everyday use is q walk; but it is gait
that not one in ten possesses. Colts
are not trained TO walk. Young Ameri-
ca wants more speed. Horses trained
to walk fast would he a greater benefit to
farmers III general than fast trotters, as
almost all of his work has to be done
with walk. Horses that are engaged
in hanling on the roads, that are trained
to walking fast, will make a longer dis
lance in day than horses will that are
urged to trot at every convenient place,
because, when a horse commences to
walk after trot, he will go much slower
than his common gait if kept On a walk,
and the consequence is that he will lose
more than be gained. Where horseback
travelling is INDUCED in, especially over
muddy roads, any other gait than walk
ing is rendered impossible, and yet q
horse that has been trained to walking
fast even over bad roads, will make
from four to five miles an hour, but
since the introduction of light wagons a
horse would be expected 30 make a
greater distance when hauling the wag-
on over the same road, though it would
be by the aid of the whip, aud very
much to the prejudice OF the poor ami
mai. These one-horse buggies have put
horseback riding out of fashion, and now
good walking horse is moro rare than
one that can trot mile in less than
three minutes. 1t is, however, to the
interest of the farmer that he should
train his horses to walk fast. -Minacdp-

Buddhist PenitentS.

The central idea of Buddhism seems
to be that of buying merit, or gaining
the favor of the gods by meritorious
deeds and suffering for their sake, and
those who torture their bodies or suffer
special privations hope by SO doing to
store up large quantities of merit or even
to be deihed in tho future world. Their
devices to accomplish this are various.
One monk has fulfilled three years
VOW of hermitage in lonely hut ct some
distance from the temple. Another sits
cross-legged in tiny cell, coming ont
only for his meals. They say he has
not spoken for three years and probably
never will again, the vow Of perpetual
silence being especially pleasing tc
Buddha. Still another, oven more will
ing TO suffer than his fellows, has offered
one Of his fingers as sacrifice, and pro-
poses to offer more, we are told. The
process is described as follows: The
finger is wound with fax which has been
soaked in kerosene oil, and on the end
is placed lighted taper, which burns
slowly down, consuming the finger, and
the stump is finally cut off with a
pair Of shears. China letter.

may not be generally known outside of

but it is nevertheless fact, that in

the upper part of this county, near the

have said that timber has been all taken
from the land bordering the Sound. Not
the quarter Of it, nor the tenth, has been
taken. The passer-by would hardly know
bv n hasty glance that the woodman's
axe had ever been used IN the vicinity.
From one end of Puget Sound to the
other is forest practically unbroken
The timber so far has only been culled.
Mill men have rejected logs of less than
sixteen inches in diameter and sixteen
feet in length. The contents of logs
reaching their saws average each over
600 feet from one years end to the other,
and whole RATS have often been BROUGHT
in which the average contents exceeded
1000 feet to the long. The demand for
big sticks has caused the culing referred
to, and the consequent leaving by logger
of the smaller timber. Logs containing
5000 and 1000 feet are more common here
than logs of 1000 feet are in ary part of
the country east of the Mississippi river,
where the average, as in the great timber
state of Michigan, is less than 200 feet
per log. One OF these days, when the
choicer graoes are less easily obtained;
aud when the demand presses more
heavily upon the supply, these old worked
over lands will be returned to, and made
to yield timber second time in 20 less
quantity than at first.
California has hitherto been our prnci-
pal market. 1t has taken in the past
year about 150,000,000 feet from the
Puget Sound saw mills. The Hawaiian
Islands furnish our next best market, aud
after them Peru and Chill, Mexico, Aus,
tralia and China. Cargoes, particularly
OF spars, have been sent to South Africa,
to England, France, and even to the
timber producing shipbuilding state of
Maine. Forty or fifty million feet per
annum will about cover our exports to
these foreign and distant lands. The
home consumption is one of the chief
factors in the trade, and, though despsed
by the leading mills a few years ago, is
now an item Of concern second only to
California. The building up of large
towns, and the extensions of our railroad
system, account for this change.
But our timber is not alone adapted to
the building of ships and houses, laying
of sidewalks, etc. Our cottonwood
makes the best barrels, and we have two
factories turning out half million per
annum. Our oak, ask, alder anil maple
are capable of beng worked into the
finest of furniture, and We have two
| factories taxed to their utmost making
goods of this description. Our cedar
makes elegant finishing lumber, and can
also be worked up into pals and tubs.
With the single exception of fir these
woods have hardly been touched in the
past. Excluding Alaska, Washington
territory contains the last great body of
timber practically untouched in the
| United States. 1t is probably the
grandest body ever contained in any part
of the country.-Seattle -Inteligen-

DOMESTIC.

REMOVAL OF GREASE SPoTs. Fatty oils
have a greater surface tension than ol OF
turpentine, benzole or ether Hence If a
grease spot on piece of cloth be moiStened
on the reverse side with one of these SOL
vents the tension on the greasy side Is larg-
er, and therefore the mixture Of Nelzole
and fat or grease will tend to move toward
the main grease spot. If we were to
moisten the centre of this s0ot with ben
zole we should not remove it, but drive
the grease upon the clean portion of the
cloth. II Is therefore necessary to dlstrib
ute the benzUle first over a circle surround
ing the grease spot, TO approach the grease
gradually, and at the same time having
blotting paper in contact with the spot tC
absorb the fat Immediately. Another
method, namely, to apply not iron on
one side while blotung paper is applied tc
the other, depends upon the fact that the
surface tension of substance dininishes
with rise of temperature. II therefore the
temperature of different portions or sides
OF the cloth il different, the fat acquires
tendency TO move from the hotter parts
toward tie cooler.

ankles, which was always worse in the
spring during the period of the rapid
changes in the weather. He did not find
much relief from the several remedies he
applied. But two years ago he hit upon
st. Jacobs . !, and experienced wonder
full relief from its use. Several applications
Of the Great German Remedy relieved
him entirely. The reporter talked with

it for sore feet, rheumatism. etc, and
praise it higbly.-IndiaRapolis (Ind.
