Beasickness Caused By ImaEinatisa.

II may have happened to many of You
to feel . degree of seasickness, or, at
any rate, Of the discomfort in which
that state ordinarily commences, from
the mere contemplation of an agitated
sea, especially in view ola ship tossing
about in it. And / remember very wen
that when, at one ofour semi-scientific
or popular exhibitions in London, there
was small model of ship, which
floated (as it were) upon sea of gold
beater's skin, and was made, by con-
cealed combination of levers, to go
through . series of movements remark
ably resembling the pitching and rolling
of ship at sea, with an occasional sink
ing down into the trough of . wave,
many persons said that they could not
continue to look at it without sensations
which made it desirable for them to turn
away. Twas once told that lady who
accompanied friend to see her of by
steamer, I think across the British Chan
mel, and on whom the sight of the
rough sea and Of the heaving Of the vessel
at the pier was sufficient to excite real
and complete seasickness. Clearly it
was the mental state. in these cases,
that called up q physical condition Of
the central organs so far corresponding
to that which the actual experience
would have done as not only to produce
the sensation, but the reflex act prompted
by it. 1t was net the mere sight, but the
associations connected with the sight,
that brought about that feeling. There
is an old story told by himself by a very
able physician of his day, Van Swieten,
which is an excellent illustration of this
tendency to the reproduction of . for
mer physical state by q strong mental
impression. He says that he once hap
pened to pass place where there was
. body of . dog in state of such loath-
some decomposition as to produce upon
him the physical result to which have
just now alluded. Some years after
ward, in passing the same spot, the re-
membrance of what he then saw and
smelt came upon with such vividness as
to reproduce the same result DR.. Car

In every society we find that the peo-
pie who are called companionable are
those who have . knack Of making light
of their tribulations and vexations, and
a habit of putting them out of sight;
with the recital Of . bad baking. leaky
pipe, the children's measles. the short
comings OF the servants; who know how
to keep their melancholy. if they have
any. out Of the conversation; whose
nerves do not furnish them with mate
rial for q morning call; who are not al
ways on the lookout for draught, or
= change of weather, or slight; who
do not lament their poverty aloud, and
make US feel responsible for it, and un-
comfortable amidst our plenty. The
companionsble people never seek to
make us dissatisfied with ourselves or
our belongings; they talk about the
things we like TO hear. and are silent
upon the subjects on which we disagree;
they do not differ from US for the sake
of differing, and do not announce their
opinions as If there were no appeal
therefrom. They do not talk You
blind, as the saying is, neither do
they offend by their taciturnity; they
do not have to be drawn out, like
defective teeth, but develop their talent
as generously and charmingly as the
plant develops its blossoms; neither do
they pump or catechise us about our
affairs, but show q genuine interest in
whatever we may choose to impart of
personal nature; and although they
never force their confidence upon us,
they have none Of that frosty reserve
which never allows us q glimpse of
their hearts. There are some people
who are out Of sorts Ut every hands
turn for NO legitimate reason-because
the sun has gone under cloud, because
they slept badly or ate too heartily; but
the companionable person makes the
best of every situation. She is not
fidgety or fussy, and her prejudices are
not, as with some, her chief character
istics. When she arrives she brings an
other atmosphere with her, and COM
mon things, seen with her eyes, become
wonderful. She is person of ideas,
and bestows them with prodigality; she
is not 50 often wit as the occasion of
wit in others. which is . far more
popular being than the mere wit can
hope to be: and although she may only
have Travelled - good deal on Cape
Cod, yet she has seen and understood

Several ways of preserving eggs are
practiced. The object is to prevent
evaporation from the egg. Cutting Of
the air from the contents Of the egg
preserves them longer than will any
other treatment. An egg which has
lain in bran even for few days will
smell and taste musty. Packed in lime
eggs will be stained. Covered with
coat of spirit varnish eggs have kept so
perfectly that after the lapse of two
years chickens were Matched from them.
A good egg will sink in body of water;
If stale body of air inside the shell
will frequently cause it to float. When
boiled : fresh egg win adhere to the
shell, which viii have rough exterior;
If stale, the outside win be smooth and
CLASSY.
Looking through paper tube direct
ed toward the light an egg held to the
end of the tube win appear translucent
if fresh; but If stale it viii be dark
almost opaque.
Spirit varnish for preserving eggs Is
made by dissolving gum shellac in
enough alcohol to make , thin varnish-
Coat each egg with this and pack, little
end down. so that they cannot move, in
bran, sawdust, or sand; the sand is

Docks are most numerous in the rich
grounds adjacent to the house and barn,
and in the fence corners. As each one,
when permitted to go to seed, produces
about 10000 seeds, they are bound to
spread and occupy all the ground. The
Burdock is annoying and disagreeable,
owing to the fact that the burs adhere
to everything they come in contact with.
The colts get their names and tails filed
with them, they cling to the faces and
tails of the calves and cows, and the dog
is tormented by their adhering to his
soft hair. In fact, they are perfect
nuisance.
The best way to get rid of the docks
Is to spade them out, and lay the roots
up to dry. If that is considered to be
too laborious . job, take sharp hoe
and cut them of Just below the surface

The same treatment may be applied
to wild carrots and wild parsnips, for

are permitted to ripen their seeds in

Columbia, thirteen members each.
He stated that TIE increased men,

Speaker. SIS ls &
The resolution was adopted.
The committee on forei. n affairs
might be divided and To the new
committee could be referred the
whole Irish question. This would
also relieve the Speaker of the
trouble which. according to the
press, he experienced in appointing
tire head of that committee.
Robinson, New York, said what
he complained of was not that Con-
gress did not pay attention to its
irish citizens, but shamefully neg>
lected American citizens, and there
had not been patriotism enough to
condemn that which thoroughly
should have been done.
Hoar replied that no doubt that
was so. and it was owing to the fact
that the committee on foreign af-
fairs had no time to devote to the
consideration of the great question.

mittee having the matter IN charge,
