an ALLEGORY.

A lawyer, an enthusiastic admirer of
the late John J. Crittenden, of Kea-
lucky, contributes to the Springfield
Republican an anecdote illustrating he
extraordinary power over jury:
MIR. Crittenden was engaged in de-
tending a man who had been indicted
for capital offense. After an elaborate
and powerful defense, he closed his ef-
fort by the following striking and bean
tiful allegory:
"When God, in His eternal counsel.
conceived the thought of mans crsatsGn,
He called to Him the three ministers
who wait constantly upon His throne
Justice, Truth and Mercy-and thus adj
dressed them: 'Shall we make man?'
"Then said Justice, oh God make
him not, for he will trample upon Thy
laws Truth made answer also, 'Oh
God make him not, for he will pollute
Thy sanctuaries.
"But Mercy, dropping upon her
knees, and looking up through her tears,
exclaimed, 'Oh God make him. Twill
watch over him and surround him with
my care through all the dark paths
which he may have to tread Then God
made man, and said to him, 'Oh man
thou art the child of Mercy; go and deal
with thy brother
The jury, when he finished, was In
tears, and, against evidence and What
must have been their own convictions,
brought in a speedy verdict Of not

DAMPEN THR AIR.

We can hardly too often suggest the
importance of providing ample moisture
In all rooms heated by stoves, furnaces,
steam pipes or hot-water pipes. There
are sound and scientific reasons for this,
as well as in the results of practical ex-
perience. Every degree of heat added
to the atmosphere in a room gives it
power of absorbing and secreting moist
ute. The air in room twenty by twen-
ty feet and ten feet high, at 80 degrees,
holds, secretes about one and one-third
pints of water. The same air heated at
70 degrees secretes upward of two
quarts of water, and unless this is sup
piled it is hung. for more water, alb
serbs it from every accessible source,
from the furniture, from our bodies, and
especially from the breathing organs
the mouth, throat and lungs, leaving
them dry and husky. Therefore, every
time the air in the room is changed by
the admission of fresh, cold air and heat
ed to 70 degrees two quarts of water
should be evaporated into the room.
The strong objections some have to
warm-air heaters have arisen mainly
from this cause. In using furnace heat
ers we always put into the hot-air cham
Der extra water pans beside any that are
supplied by the manufacturers, and take
good care to always have them filed
with water. In stove-heated rooms
there should usually be an evaporating
surface of water equal to one square foot
for every twelve feet square of flooring,
and more if the water is not on hot
place enough to keep it rapidly evapo-
rating. Plants in room are mainly de-
stroyed, or have a sickly growth, be
cause the warm air becomes too dry and
sucks out the very juice of the plants.
In large room large towel frequently
wet and wrung so as not to drip, and
hung over a chair back near the stove,
will make marked difference in the
comfortable feeling and healthfulness of
the atmosphere.

THE PYRAMIDS.

Mr.. G. W. French, of Philadelphia,
presented some curious facts concerning 2
the results of the astronomical and geo.
metrical investigations of the great
Pyramid before meeting of New York
ministers. The chief purpose of the
speaker was to prove that the Pyramid
records the prophetic history of Judaism
and Christianity. The Pyramid was
built before idolatry made its way into
the world, and, as was claimed, contains
no symbol of false worship, and this
confirmed the Scriptural knowledge Of
God held by Abimelech, King Of Cesar,
and of the Egyptian Pharaoh in the time
of Abraham. According to Mr.. French,
the narrow passageway in the Pyramid
symbolizes the voyage of life. which
slopes downward to a dark hole beneath
the earth's surface and upward to the
Kings chamber" where the temper
atre stands unchangeably at 68 de-
grees. The horizontal passage symbol
ICES the departure of the Jews from
Egypt and also their rejection OF the
Christ. Then the perpendicular ascent,
the overhanging wall, and a particular
step in the pyramidal sign language
mean that the higher man rises toward
the divine and the heavenly the more
room there is for him, though the as
cent may be difficult. The inscription
on the Pyramid was taken by the lect-
urer to mean the unity of God and the
fulfllment of certain prophecies in 1881
and in view of the events of last year he
thought these symbols of the Pyramid
we're something more than mere coin
cidence. The prophecies of Daniel con.
cerning the destruction of Jerusalem IL
seventy weeks and the 2,300 days were
said to- bring out 1881, and also the
Apocalyptic vision of 1860 from the
Mohammedan hegira in 621 give the
same date. But the Pyramid shows ;
plus 1881, which includes part Of th'
current year, SO that great religious
events may be looked for IN this year O
grace 1882. A symbol of the Messiah
was also found in the capstone, as "th'
head of the corner" These theories @
the symbolism of the Pyramid hav
often been discussed before, and the,
are very interesting, but general opinion
we believe, has concluded that they ar
simply an ingenious leading up of Ger
tain facts and figures to fit preconceive
and already accepted ideas.

In all times OF epldem1cs doc
tors can tell similar tales. Dur
ing the great plague of 1866 an
unfortunate man died purely from
fright; practical joker who met him
in the street pretended to discover the
fatal "spots" upon him, and the poor
man went home and died, not of the dis
ease, but OF sheer terror. A long obitu-
ary list might be compiled of the victims
of fear from the criminal in the middle
ages, who. reprieved after he had laid
his head on the block, was found to have
died ere the ak could touch him, down

COWS have been exceeded by Jersey Belle
of Scituate 1888, now dead. This COW
has a well-authenticated record of
twenty-five pounds and two ounces in

named have the best yearly, monthly
and weekly butter records, and we con-
fidentiy expect, at no late date, that the

A STRANGE CUSTOM.

The respectable women of Thibet al
ways appear in public with their faces
painted black, so as to disguise their
charms and thus prevent fral men from
the perils of too great admiration. Be-
fore going out of doors they invariably
rub their faces over with a black glute-
nous varnish, something like currant
jelly in appearance. The object being
to render themselves as unattractive as
possible, they daub this composition
over every feature, so as to render their
faces as unlike those of human beings
as possible. Mr.. Hue in his travels in
the country ascertained that the singular
custom had its origin in the decree of a
Lama King, some 200 years ago. This
King, being man of austere habits,
was desirous of checking the license
which prevailed among the people, and
which had even spread to the priests of
the Buddhist monasteries to such an
extent as to relax their discipline, issued
All edict that no woman should appear
in public otherwise than with her face
daubed In the manner described. Severe
temporal and spiritual penalties enforced
the decree among them, even the terrible
wrath of Buddha. Tradition says that
women were perfectly resigned and
obedient, and that, far from the edict
giving rise to petticoat rebellion, the
practice was cheerfully adopted and has
been faithfully observed down to our
own time. Now, it is considered point
of religious creed and evidence of a
spirit of devotion, the women who dauh
their faces the most being the most re-
ligious. 1t is only in the large towns
that women are seen in the streets with
! unpainted faces.

A WONDERFUL COW,

In view of the fact that there is at
present general revival of interest in
everything pertaining to the dairy and
its products. the following from an ex-
change will be interesting to butter
makeRs:
The American trotter is of recent orr
gin, and, during the lifetime of compare
lively young men now living, has re-
duced the record from 2:30 to about
2:10 per mile, or nearly twenty secoads,
or, as our business men would say, over
s per cent.
This spirit of progress has not been
confined to the breeding and training of
roadster horses, but American breeders
of dairy cattle have made equally as
creditable a record and if breeders on
the other side of the Atlantic have made
careful tests that will compare with the
following we should like to publish their
records:
The best yearly butter record is that
of Eurotas 2,454, owned by A. B. Oar

eleven months and six days lending Oct.

one pound of butter from less than ten

POLAR EXPLORATIONS.

For many years explorers have made
attempts to penetrate to the far North.
seeking the open Polar sea, which was
believed to exist, and endeavoring to
penetrate to the North pole. In 1850
an Arctic expedition was fitted out by
Henry Grinnell, of New York, with
Lieut.. E. J. DeHaven as commander
and DR.. Elisha Kent Kane as naturalist
and surgeon. This is classed as the first
United States expedition of search: it
returned in 1851 without finding trace of
Franklin. DR.. Kane in 1853 sailed
from Boston in the Advance, with a
company of seventeen men, among
whom was DIR. Hayes; they encoun-
tered many dangers, and returned to
Boston, where they arrived Oct. II, 1856.
On May %, 1860, the first expedition O
Charles Francis Hall sailed from New
London, Ct., to search for Franklin.
and returned without finding any trace
of that navigator, after an absence os
two years. DR.. Hayes sailed from Bos-
ton, July 9, 1860, in the schooner Unit
ed States, of 133 tons, with fourteen per
sons in the party, not including him

81 min. Hall started from New Lon
don, Ct, on his second trip, July so.
1864, and returned in 1869; and again
he fitted out an expedition by q Con
gressional appropriation, and went
north to find the open Polar sea, but he
died in Greenland, Nov. s, 1871 his
vessel was the Polaris, which sailed from
New York June %, 1871. On July 8,
1879, the steamer Jeanette was fitted
out at San Francisco by James Gordon
Bennett, for an Arctic trip through
Behring's straits, the crew numbering
thirty.two men. On June 10, 1878
Lieut.. Fred Scwhatka, with a party
of five, left New York in search of the
remains of the Franklin party, which
were found, and the party returned aftel
an absence of over two years. A prop

MANIFESTATIONS OF FEAR.

" is said that the Emperor Charles
the Fifth, reading an epitaph. "Here
lies one who never knew fear" re-
marked, "then he never snufed can
die with his fingers" 1t is certainly
somewhat absurd, though a favorite
claim for popular hero. that she never
knew fear" No one possessing human
nerves and brain could say this with
truth. That brave man never yields 70
the emotion may be true enough but to
say that at no period of his life he ex-
perienced fear is simply impossible. AS
Lord Lytton expresses it:
1t shames man not to feel mans mortal fear.
It shames only if that fear subdue.
There is story of a young recruit in
the "Thirty Years War" going into
action for the first time in his life in the
highest spirits. "Loox at Johann" re-
marked one of his comrades, as the
troops were drawn up ready to charge,
she is full of jokes how brave he is. -
"Not at ALL" replied the veteran ad-
dressed; she knows nothing of what is
coming. You and I, old comrade, are
far braver; we sit still on our horses
though we are terribly afraid
Fear certainly is one of the most ir-
rational of the passions. 1t is not
always excited by the presence of danger.
Men who can be cool and collected in
cases of real peril will tremble at some
fanciful alarm. The Duke of Schomberg
could face an enemy with ready courage
but fled from a room if he saw a cat il
it. A very brave French officer tainted
at the sight of a mouse. The author o.
the "Turkish Spy" states that if he haC
a sword in his hand he would rather en-
counter lion in the desert than be alone
in room with spider. Many people
have similar fanciful antipathies, which
excite their fears in a manner real dan
ger would be powerless to do. Fear o
infection is a dread that embitters tn,
lives of many sensitive people. There i

DRESSING CHILDREN.

Notice the children in any town In the
United States as they go to school during
the cold winter weather. The boys have
on good woolen socks and boots that
reach half way to theknee, and over both
good thick pantaloons. The girls wear
shoes, generally light leather, and their
legs are bare-have at least one thick
ness of stockings-from ankle to knee.
Rarely do the little darlings have scare
lty of covering for the shoulders and
body, and muffs to keep the hands warm,
but the lower extremities are so tElinIy
clad that, from ankle to knee, they had
nearly as we'll be bare. Why is this
There is but one answer-fashion-
senseless, murderous tyrant that has
slain its millions of women and children
IN America. All mothers know Of the
evil of which we speak, and of the ne
cessity of keeping the lower extremities
warm in order to insure good circulation
OF the blood and healthy body, but
how many are there who would not ratEi-
er sacrifice their children's lives, or make
shattered invalids, than to 90 one inch
beyond what custom or fashion dictates?
Ii mothers would dress their girls as
sensibly and as comfortably as they do
the boys few years would witness a
marked change for the better in regard
to the health of women. The attention
of fathers as well as mothers ought to be
directed to this important matter. Il is
lamentable fact that American woraen
have the poorest health of any women IN
civilized countries. If they were dressed
sensibly in childhood, and would, when
older, wear good heavy shoes, not two
sizes too small, the evil complained Of
would in generation mainly disappear

a national fame through his perilous feat
of climbing the Natural bridge in Rock

tanned permission of the President to
spend day from the college, and they
went (about twelve miles, to the bridge.
As soon as they arrived, in youthful glee
they commenced the ascent of the pre-
cipitous side of the bridge, and cut
figures and names upon the stone.
Young Piper espied the name of Wash
ington standing above the thousands of
others, and started upward to write his
name above that of the first President.
He made a laborious ascent, and in

Washington, and continued upward.

difficult for him to hear. From this
point he turned for the first time and
looked downward, to see that return was
impossible, and the advance was almost
impossible, since the knife that had
carried him SO far was worn nearly to
the handle. Each moment was one of
intense suspense to his companions, who
from below watched for, and expected
his destruction at any time. Painfully
he worked up few feet higher, until
the knife was useless, and he hung
seemingly upon the face Of the precipice.
In that position, between hope and fear,
he lived what seemed years, until rescue
came in the shape of a lasso, and he was

EVENINGS At HOME.

Solomon tells us that there is time for
ali things; time to weep, anc time
to laugh, to play and to dance. Surely,
the tine to laugh, to play and to dance
comes most appropriately in the long
pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the !arabs
And silently steal away.
1t is well for the women of the house
hold to remember that the pleasant
evenings at home are strong antidotes
to the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by
and forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be indulged in somehow
by most men, and happy are they who
find in the home circle the diversion
they need. A lively game, an interest
ing book read aloud, or, in musical
families, new song to be practiced,
will furnish pastime that will make an
evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day,
little pulling of wires that need not
appear, Will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
provided for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly, and a time to be looked
forward to with pleasant anticipations.
We visited once in a large family
where it was the duty Of each sister, III
turn, to provide the evenings occupa-
tion, and there was a pleasant rivalry
between them as to whose evening
should be the most enjoyable. The
brothers entered fully into the spirit OF
The simple home entertainments, and
were as 10th to be obliged to spend in
evening away from home as their sisters
and parents were to have them absent.

commonly united one, for each aud
every member showed such a strong at
tachment for the home to which each

E. BULWER LYrTON,s TEMPER.

In his recently published Some Ac,

Archibald Alison says: During his
visit to Oxford an incident occurred 50
descriptive of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton5
character that, as characteristic Of SO
eminent man, l cannot forbear men
tioning it. It had been previously al
ranged that the persons who were to re-
ceive degrees the first day were to he
those upon whom the honor was to be
bestowed rather in consideration of
their rank or political position than
their literary eminence, and accordingl.r
the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Eglin
ton, Mr.. Secretary Walpole, Sir John
Pakington, and others of the same sort
were installed the first day, and the
purely literary OF scientific characters,
such as Bulwer, Aytoun, Sir Roderick
Murchison and myself, were put off to
the second. It never entered into my
head to take umbrage at this arrange
ment, which in the circumstances
seemed proper, but it was otherwise
with Sir Edward. In the evening, as
Lady Alison and [ were sitting at tea
III our hotel, message came request
ing me to see him, which I Immediately
did, and the first thing he said was :
We'll, Sir Archibald, what are you
going to do? [ am off in the first train
for London. [ never wanted any of
their - degrees; it was their own DO
ing sending for me, and I am resolved
not to submit to the slight now put on
us. What! to think of postponing such
men as you and me to a parcel q
political drudges, who will never be
heard of five years after their death ,
The thing is intolerable! [ hope you
are not going to submit to it. During
this vehement harangue he was i'm
patiently quaffing the fumes of a big
Turkish pipe, the volumes of which
came out between each fresh ebulition
of wrath. Astounded at this extraor-
binary Indignation. [ could only en-
deavour to elude and mollify a wrath
evidently too violent to be encountered
in front. DO YOU not see," said I,
my dear Sir Edward, that the directors
of the proceedings have paid us the
highest compliment in postponing our
installation to the second day? On the
first, those were selected who were re-
commended for the most part by their
rank or position, tomorrow those will
come on who are chosen only for their
merit. Its all very we'll" answered
he, "for cold-blooded historians to
think so, but we of a lighter turn feel
otherwise. I shall certainly go off to-
night By degrees, however, be be-
came Modified, and consented to re-
main to be installed next day, and go
with us to Blenheim on the day follow

monstrance to Lord Derby on the oc-
casion; and in the evening | received
from his Lordship very courteous
note saying that he had borne no part
