BEToRE many weeks the cold fall
storms will be upon us, and in all
probability before many OF us are
fully ready for it, winter, with its de.
mand for feeding and housing our
stock, will be here. 1t is none too
early to think Of our preparations
for meeting these demands. In very
many cases, farmers will be better
prepared with feed than with shelter.
The Importance of warm stabling is
not appreciated as It should be, he.
cause Of comparative ignorance con-
cerning it. Prot. Sanborn, Of the
New Hampshire Agricultural College,
conducted some feeding experiments
last winter in which the effects Of
proper shelter were shown to be of
great economical value TO the stock
owner He provided specially warm
stabling for fifteen cows. at cost Of
$50, and then changed them from this
to a cold part of the barn, noting the
amounts Of food eaten, ahd the
changes in the milk flow. Without
stopping to give his figures in detail,
1t is enough for our present purpose
to say that lac found the total of feed
saved, and milk gained by the use of
the warm stabling amounted TO eleven
cents per COW per day. Mr.. Sanborn
says: "These facts were carefully
taken over a period of nearly three
months, aud in their results show
that | nearly got the cost Of i'm.
proving the stable for the iirst winter.
or about one hundred per cent. in.
tercst for four months"

Origin Of Familiar Proverbs.

Herewith are the origins of some
of our familiar proverbs of Burdette,
of the la wkeye:
"Two heads are better than one,"
was originated by Fennimore Cooper,
while heading barrel in his humble
cooper shop.
"All's well that ends SWELL was
said by Burns when he put poul-
tice on lump raised by hot brand
ing iron used in the gauger busi-
ness.
Faint tart never won fair lady"
was written by Crabbe, when he sent
sour apple pie to his mother-in-
law.
"Man wants but little here below,
nor wants that little long.-Fellow.
ga soft answer turneth away
wrath" shows how much Words
worth.
Enough Is as good as feast
sounds AS though the author didn't
wapt Hannah More.
''The nearer the bone, the sweeter
the meat" is evidently Lamb.
"As close as an oyster" sounds
Shelley.
"a thorne in the hand is worse
than two in BUSH" is from Haw-
thorne.
''Savc at the spigot and waste at
bungholc," is from Fawcett.
"Mightier than the sword, were
the words of VIM. Penn.
"The horse-leech hath two daugh-
ters crying, Give, give" that is,
"Moore, Moore"
"He doesn't know enough to 60 in
when it rains" must be the senti-
ment Of man who certainly loved
Dryden.
There are several others that will
readily occur TO the reader; and
if you happen to think Of them, dear
reader, keep them to yourself. Don't
print them. There is enough Of this
sort Of nonsense now. We wouldn't
have made the foregoing public but
for the reason we could think of
nothing worse.-San Francisco Argo-
naut.

A Man Of PickwIckian Explanations.

A painful discussion took place at the
last meeting of the Bermondsey Vestry.
1t commenced by one of the vestrymen
asking another vestryman whether at a
public meeting held by him he made use
of the following words: Come forth, ye
venomous miscreants, and face me here!
Come forth, we miserable serfs, from the
dens of jobbery, concoction and dishou-
estyp' The vestryman thus questioned,
who was also asked to state whether the
"dens of jobbery, connection and dishon-
ests" referred to the Bermondsey Vestry,
and to give further details generally re-
specting the observations he was alleged
to have made, admitted that he was cor
rcctly reported as having used the words
quoted and made u somewhat heightened
statement on the subject; in the course
of which he observed that "the words
had no meaning unless connected with
the context. How" he asked, could he
tell the names of the persons tos.whom he
alluded when they wrote letters to the
papers and signed themselves Bah, or
something like it?" As to the question
whether the word "dens" referred to the
vestry, he pointed out that 'vestry' was
singular and 'dens' plural, and that the
word objected to could not therefore re-
fer to the vestry.' After some further
remarks the matter was allowed to drop,
and the outside world is left in state of
mystification. st. James Gazette.

Influence of Religion on Suicides.

The influences of religion are together
with the influence of race, the strongest
motive powers which act on the will of
man. The discussion as to whether the
growth of suicide is to be accounted for
by the decrease of religious sentiment
scarcely finds place in a work like this.
1t is thesis generally put forward by
moralists whose opinion approaches our
own on this subject. On the other hand,
the theme of the special influence of the
various faiths, which statisticians have
sought to dispute, presents itself to us,
two kinds of proof being deduced there
from. The first is furnished by the in
dication of the form of worship to which
suicides belong; but, unfortunately, this
is represented in very few statistics OF
Central Europe, and is not always adapt
ed to each case in particular. The second
is the approximate relation between
the number of violent deaths and
the predominant form of worship in
given countries; and here the most fer
tile in results are the statistics of the
states having inhabitants of various
forms of worship, as Prussia, Germany,
Austria, Holland and Switzerland. The
countries of the South, Italy, Spain
and France, have so small a number of
non. Catholics that little or no compare
tive result could be obtained from it.
We notice again that, in the COMPARE
sons based on religion Of suicides,
Judaism figures, in which the influence
of religious bonds is complicated with
that of race. This is perhaps the only
religion bound up in the fate of
single people, whether on account of
the excluslveness of the Mosaic laws, or
because no other race is so jealous of
its own purity, its own customs, and
especially of the faith of i1 fathers, as
the Jewish. In every country where
the chosen people has been spread, it
has always preserved the moral Semitic
character, while it has sometimes modi
fed its physical characteristics, as
when becoming fair where formerly
dark skinned the religion of the
God of Abraham is the only bond
which now unites its scattered members.
This strong influence of race obliges one
to proceed cautiously in attributing to
the Mosaic religion the little tendency of
Jews toward suicide. In the most an
cient history of Palestine not more than
ten suicides were mentioned, and their
greatest number belongs to a less pure
Jewish period, when, through the
Babylonish captivity and through the
false prophets, they lost all trace of the
ancient law. Already, among the last
Jews who had to struggle against the in
vading Roman power, suicide had be-
come more frequent (Josephus); but,
while dispensing themselves among other
nations over the face of the earth, the
descendants of Abraham have always
shown and still show among their moral
characteristics an habitual resistance to
suicide, although the same cannot be
said with regard to madness.-(D DR..
Morselli, in Popular Science Monthly
for December.

Why Good Coffee Is Rare.

A correspondent writes to the Pail

remember well that it was rare to find
breakfast-table without coffee. Now.
looking around amot my friends, find
that there are more WHO use tea than there
are who use coffee. Fond of it myself,
have long since given up drinking it
in England, because, although I have
supplied my cooks with the finest Mocha
and Zanzibar, they produce me awatery
slop, which is simply not to be drunk
on any premises. Coffee pots which will
make good coffee, in spite of the opera
tor, are very dear and very troublesome.
I paid e3 for one which lasted me five
months and then burst. What is wanted
is to teach the ordinary British female
how to use the ordinary French tin
strainlng- pot-that is, to make an es-
senceof coffee, small cup of which.
with couple of quarts of good milk, is
enough for family of six or eight. De-

Some men move through life as band

pleasure on every side through the air
to every one, far and near, that can listen.
Some men fill the air with their presence

days fill the air with the perfume of ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their own
houses, like the honeysuckle over the
door, yet, like it, sweeten all the region
with the subtle fragrance of their good
ness. There are trees of righteousness
which are ever dropping precious fruit
around them. There are lives that shine
like star-beams, or charm the heart like
songs sung upon holy day. How great
q bounty and blessing it is to hold the
royal gifts of the soul so that they shall
be music to some and fragrance to
others, and life to all It would be no
unworthy thing to live for, to make the

Concerning Mirrors.

The record of patents granted during
the last 200 years throws a curious light
upon the progress of the manufacture of
mirrors. Up to that time the Venetians
had monopoly Of the business, but in
1884 the French began to compete, and,
competing in the art, beat all others
from the field, and improved so rapidly
that in another fifty years, in 1854, a
glass plate was cast in Paris which was
is inches long and SO broad. The su-
premacy then gained continues to our
day OF three classes of mirrors supplied
to the American market-the French,
The German, and those of home manu-
tacture. Those of France are greatly
preferable. The latter are imported
pure. to be silvered here upon arrival,
while the German is imported ready. and
that OF home manufacture is compara-
lively little in demand. American look
ing-glasses are mostly manufactured at
Baltimore, French mirror plates are
mainly prepared in the suburbs of Paris,
while the seat of the German manufacto-
rles is in Bavaria. Imported glasses,
with rare exceptions in the case of special
orders, are framed in this country, O.
very large majority in New York city it
self. The size of the plates as delivered
TO the dealers differs good deal. Those
from Germany run from by inches
up to 48 by 20 and 40 by 26; French
glass from 10 by all in even inches up
to 160 by84. The beveled glass which
is SO fashionable to-day is prepared after
its arrival, being shipped in plain, even
sheets.
