snake River Gold.

&c. Anderson has hit upon plan tor
saving the gold that has long baffled the
efforts Of miners along Snake river. His
plan is very simple and inexpensive. A
sluice capable Of saving 81 per hour, costs
only about 500. He has one in operation
near Eagle Rock, which saved $780, 50 dur.
in., the first forty hours it was in operation.
Ii.r apparatus Is very simple consisting Of
a main sluice box from twenty to twenty.
four feet long which has false bottom in
the upper halt, the lower portion oil which
is covered with perforated sheet iron. On
each side Of the main sluice are two small.
er ones which receive the water and debris
that passes through the perforated iron, the
bottoms Of the small sluices are covered
with gunny sacks which catch the gold.
These sacks are taken out and washed in a
tub every few hours and the gold collected
by means of quicksilver.

Canadian COrruptiOn.

Canadian papers sometimes allude to the
absordity Of much that passes in their
country under the name Of politics and
legislation, and just now they are finding
an apt illustration in the last session OF the
legislature of Prince Edward Island, where
forty.two members sat six weeks and
showed as the net result twenty bills, near.
y o'thirds of which are private, and
none OF the lot Of any great. importance.
The Ottawa Free Press says: ".rhere are
a Lieutenant.G Governor, and Legislative
Assembly. The first initiates royalty and
the second the House Of Lords. At the
opening and closing of the recent session
there were artillery salutes, 4 speech from
the throne, and all the rest Of the nonsense
VIZ are accustomed to at Ottawa on larger
scale OF expense and gimc, ackery."

INSECTS rs TALKERS.

"Two ants" says Buchner, "when
they are talking together, stand with
their heads opposite to each other, work
ing their sensitive feelers in the liveliest
manner, and tapping each others head. :"
Numerous examples prove that they are
able in this way to make mutual commu-
nications and even on definite subjects.
81 have often, says the English natur-
alist Jesse, "placed small green cater
pillar IN the neighborhood of an ants
nest. It is Immediately seized by an
ant, which calls in the assistance of a
friend after Intellectual efforts to drag
the caterpillar into the nest. It can be
easily seen that the little creatures hold
a conversation by means of their feelers.
and this being ended theyrepair together
to the caterpillar in order to draw it into
the nest by their united strength.
Further, I have observed the meeting of
ants on their way to and from their
nests. They stop, touch each other with
their feelers, and appear to hold con-
versation, which, I have good reason to
suppose, refers to the best ground for
food" Hague writes letter to Darwin
that he one day killed with his fingers a
number of ants that came every day from
hole in the wall to some plants stand
ing on the chimney piece. He hadtried
the effect of brushing them away, but it
was of no use, and the consequence of
the slaughter was that the ants who
were on their way Immediately turned
back and tried to persuade their COM
panions, who were not yet aware of the
danger, to turn back also. A short con.
versation ensued between the ants
which, however, did not result in an i'm.
mediate return, for those who had lust
left the nest convinced themselves of tbe
truth of the report. =, ~; $500 LsG-

a Defense Of Mod;gs Vomaen.

Let no man say that the change Of
woman from the sentimental, insipid
and angelic creature Of the last century
to the vigorous and hearty person of to-
day is change that begins and ends
with eating and drinking habits. Let
the pessimists say what they will, the
present is an age of genuineness and
candor. There is less mock modesty,
less of the humbug of seeming, than in
any generation that has gone before us,
if We may accept as true the pictures of
life given us by Smollet, Fielding, Fanny
Burney, Thackeray and the writer's Of
the time of Queen Anne. The civilized
world admires the delicate and fragile
beauty of American women. But it is
the pride of the country that feeds the
world with beef, grain and game that
the rare flower of American Ioveliness is
no hot-house plant, reared in a nicely
adjusted atmosphere. The womanliness
and the manliness OF our country spring
from rich and nutritive soil. We have
the best provision for the table in the
World.-NeaU York Times.

APPLES As FOOD.

From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table as dessert.
The historian Pliny tells us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over 1000. As an
article of food they rank with the potato,
and, on account of the varietyo of ways in
which they may be served, they are far
preferable to the taste of many persons ;
and, if families would only substitute
ripe, luscious apples for pies, cakes,
candies and preserved fruit, there would
be much less sickness among the child
ren, and the saving of this one item
alone would purchase many barrels OF
apples.
They have one excellent effect upon
the whole physical system. feeding the
brain as well as adding to the flesh, and
keeping the blood pure also preventing
constipation, and correcting a tendency
to auidity, which produces rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool off the
feverish condition of the system in
fact, they are far better for these pur-
poses than the many nostrums which
are highly praised in the advertisements,
and are SO constantly purchased by
sufferers. A ripe raw apple is digested
IN an hour and half, while boiled
potato takes twice the time.
While apples can be purchased at
cheap rates every family should keep a
dish of them in the dining room, where
the children can have access to them and
eat all they please. They will rarely re-
ceive any injury from them if they are
thoroughly masticated. Baked apples
should be as constant a dish upon the
table as potatoes. Every breakfast and
tea table should have plate of them.
Baked sweet apples are very pleasant
addition to saucer of oatmeal pudding,
and, when served with sweet cream,
they are very appetizing.
They are not so commonly used as
they should be, as they will supply as
much muscular and nervous support as
dishes of meat and vegetables. Thou.
sands of bushels of sour apples are used
for pies and puddings in hundreds OF
families where well-baked sweet apples
would prove more nourishing food and
much more economical. They are also
good food for old people, and are usual
ly greatly relished by them In my own
family they are always, when IL season,
z part Of the meals Of the day, and are
as commonly used as slice of bread

Stick to the Kitchen,

While New England journals are
loaded with long-winded efforts to tell
where and how woman can enjoy the
independence for which she is supposed
to long, Western editor has solved the
problem by suggesting the kitchen. If
any one doubts the correctness of this
view let him invade his own kitchen and
attempt to assert authority. He may
be tyrant in the parlor and nuisance
In the dining-room, but in the kitchen
woman reigns supreme, no matter
whether she is a feeble wife or brawny
servant. It is strange that women never
made this brilliant discovery for them
selves, for any one Of them who has
hired help in the kitchen knows that the
servant is autocrat in her own domain,
and before her the queen of the rest Of
the house is but poor, tinlid, futtering
creature. But such independence i'm
plies the ability to work in the kitchen,
and of this the American knows about
as much as she of Patagonia, who has no
kitchen at all-NeaU York Herald.

CArs AND THE WEATHER.

Cats have the reputation of being
weather-wise, an old notion which has
given rise to q most extensive folk lore.
1t is almost universally believed that
good weather may be expected when the
cat washes herself, but bad when she
licks her coat against the grain, or
washes her face over her ear, or sits with
her tail to the fire. As, too, the cat is
supposed not only to have a good
knowledge of the state of the weather,
but certain share in the management
OF it. it is considered by sailors to be
most unwise to provoke it. Hence they
do not much like to see cat on board
at All, and, when one happens to be
more frisky than usual, they have a
popular saying that "the cat has got a
gale of wind in her tall" A charm
often resorted to for raising a storm is to
throw cat overheard but, according
to Hungarian proverb, as cat does
not die in water, its paws disturb the
surface hence the flaws on the surface
of the water are nicknamed by sailors
"catspaws." In the same way, also, a
larger furry on the water is a "cat's-
SKIN !" and, in some parts of England, a
popular name for the stormy northwest
wind is the "cat's nose" Among
other items of weather-lore associated
with the cat, there is q superstition
in Germany that if it rains when women
have large washing on hand, it is an
lnfalIible sign that they have a spite
against them, owing to their not having
treated these animals well. We may
also compare the Dutch idea that a
rainy wedding-day results from the
brides neglecting to feed her cat;
whereas, in the valleys of the Tyrol, girls
who are fond of cats are said always to
marry early, perhaps, as Mrs. Busk re-
marks, "an evidence that household
virtues are appreciated in them by the
men," Once more, there is German
belief that any one who, during his life
time, may have made cats his enemies,
is certain to be accompanied to the grave
amid a storm of wind and rain. n.-Har-
Ter'S Weekly.

| .4ction OF manuscript. He is not called
upon to write private critique on the
article to the author of it. His accept
ance or rejection is an absolute and un-
questionable fact. Among amateur
writer's this does not appear to be un-
| derstood.
"The article is hardly available for
the columns of the Daily Designer,
writes the editor of that journal. Now
that is sufficient. That should end the
matter. The article may be better in
some respects than a dozen others he
accepts, but if he be in any sense wor-
thy OF his place he has an innate intui-
ton of subtle fitness and intellectual
adjustments, which he could no more
communicate than he could put his
mental life on exhibition. Moreover,
there is not the slightest necessity of his
communicating them. But his contrib
utor cannot let the matter rest. Per-
haps she has written book, and she is
not gratiied with his review of it. She
must write him letter deprecating his
Judgment. She wants to know If he has
read her book carefully. She tells him
the Critical COnn0isseotr gave two col
umns OF extracts from it, and that she
thinks it too bad, she does, that he re-
ferred to it SO unkindly. She favors him
with nine pages of her views upon his
conduct. She alludes touchingly to the
fact that seven of her dearest lady
friends each sent her copy of the Daily
Designer that contained his cruel allu-
sion to her volume on Transatlantic
Hurricanes" and she begs him to devote
one little half hour to her production and
then write fairly of it.
All sub-editors and reporters under
stand that it is an unjustifable imperti-
nence to ask the managing editor his
reason for publishing or not publishing
any matter submitted to his Judgment.
Outside writer's and aspiring amateurs
rarely seem to comprehend this truth,
and their transgressions are largelyfrom
ignorance rather than from intention.
The nature of editorial work requires
absolute power of decision in order to
preserve the unities of the journal the
editor conducts, and the amateur con-
tributor should not permit his amour
propre to incite him to open any dis
cussion regarding the justice of the
editorial Judgment.

MARTTN HAN RuREN.

Probably no character in our history
is SO hard to analyze as that OF Martin
Van Buren. The secret of his power
seems to have died with him. He was
not renowned as an orator, and yet must
have possessed great powers as an advo-
cate. He is not usually credited with
having devised any great public meas
ures, yet, during the most important
epoch of his party's history, every meas
ure to which it owed success not only re-
quired his approval, but showed his
shaping, modifying touch. He was not
eminent in debate, but was always a
leader Of his party in Legislation. He is
said to have been personally calm, self
poised and unconfding. He heard ev-
cry ones opinion, but took no ones ad-
vice. He was accounted shrewd and
cunning, but never was accused of per-
sonal treachery. He was cautious to
the verge of timidity, and, at the same
time, confident to the verge of rashness.
He never exulted over victory nor whim-
pered at defeat. He had few personal
friends, but an amazing popular follow
ing. In theory he was the broadest of
democrats In practice the most exclu-
siVe of aristocrats. None of his asso-
ciates seem to have regarded him with
affection, and few of his opponents
looked upon him with animosity. Per-
haps no political life in our history
shows 80 few mistakes. In no single in
stance did he fail to make the best Of the
occasion, viewing it from his own stand
point; unless it were the last and great
est of his ife-the opportunity to lead
the movement that eventually trans
