Happy and Unhappy Women.

Some few women may enjoy being
knocked about in the world--may even
find relish in scrambling, elbow to ell
bow, with men for places in the front
ranks of workers; but these few stand
in the same relation TO their sisters as
does a man OF genius to his ordinary
brother; an unnatural thing, an anon
ally. The few women who enjoy such
life as II Is known that woman Of
the working world must live, have, by
their injudicious over-enthusiasm, done
more harm than they dreamed they
were remedying. The independence
Of woman has cast such a light upon
their natural pleasing dependence that
It must be admitted it is now terribly
unprepossessing. Woman's suffering
is very closely allied TO woman's suf-
frage; woman's wrongs overlap wO-
mans rights. Fifty women are unhap-
PLY at work where there is one hap
PLY pot; and there are just about fifty
women working where one needs to
be, or rather ought ought to be, or
would be, if women had let women
alone. A woman is not fiJted for a
working life. Physically she may be
able to stand it; mentally she may
flash and brighten, at heart the true
woman quivcrs, and breads the fist as
well is the tongue of the world. One
of the most unhappy women | know is
n brilliant woman Of semi-Bohemian-
literary society. Enyied, but not en-
yiable; admired, but not loved. The
wittest woman of her city, her bon
motS are the cleverest at the clubs. A
clever and thinking woman, her work
is as clever and thoughtful. She says:
II would rather be the weakest, the
least talented woman in the world, the
honest wife Of an honest man who
would love me, and let me love him,
than the most beautiful, successful wo-
man of the world. | would rather be
the slave of a household than q queen
usurping masculine rights"

Value OF Hen Manure

We saw on the premises Of first
class farmer, some time ago, a we'll
constructed henhouse, though not at
al complying with the conditions
which hen fanciers would impose. 1t
was designed only for laying and
roosting in and it at first seemed
strange to find, at midday, with cool
atmosphere, turkeys and chickens oc-
cupying it, They had free egress and
ingress and were not fed or watered
in 1t; yet the chickens always went
there to lay. The secret was revealed,
however, when the proprietor informed
us that he had it cleaned out every
week. All the droppings of the fowls
were scraped from the floor, which
was an inclined plane, into a trough or
receiver, from which they were shoy-
eled and heaped up, and the place
whitewashed frequently. This required
but little over half an hour, and the
manure from last season was estimated
at $l20, and quite sufficient in quan-
tity as an application to his entire
rrop of corn. As rule we do not think
farmers pay as much attention to their
henhouses and the manurial product
as their Importance demands. Here
was a most valuable amount of fertil-
izing material, obtained with little la
Dor, upon the premises, ready for use
when needed, which would have cost
heavy sum to provide; beside, from
the excellent arrangement of the
house, which was by no means expen-
sive, an increase of eggs was obtained
which more than covered all the ad-
ditional expense in labor.-German-

Hot Water Treatment for Plants.

A correspondent calls our attention
to the following from The Garden, and
Hnquires whether there is anything in
it: THE Florist asks, Has any one
tried hot water as a restorative for
sickly plants? and then proceeds to
say that NJ. Willermoz some time since
related that plants in pots may be re-
stored to health by means of hot water
1ll-health, he maintains, ensues from
acid substances in the soil, which, be-
ing absorbed by the roots, act as
poison. The small roots wither and
cease to act, and the upper and young
er shoots turn yellow and become
spotted, Indicative Of their morbid
state. In such cases the usual remedy
is to transplant into fresh soil, in clean
pots, with good drainage, and often
with the best results. But his expert
ence of several years has proved the
unfailing efficacy of the simpler treat
ment, which consists in watering
abundantly with hot water at tenn
perature of about 125 Fahrenheit,
having previously stirred the soil of
the pots so far as may be done with
out injury to the roots. Water is then
given until it runs freely from the
pots. In his experiments the water at
first came out clear, afterward it was
sensibly tinged with brown, and gave
an appreciable acid reaction. After
this thorough washing, the pots were
kept warm, and the plants very soon
made new roots, Immediately followed
by vigorous growth
To our mind there is a great deal in
it. We know to certainty that sick
ly peach trees are often restored to
vigorous health by the old-fashioned
German farmers of Pennsylvania, by
pouring boiling water on the ground
about the peach trees. 1t cools, of
course, somewhat, before reaching
many of the roots. Here, however, it
is believed to be beneficial by destroy
ing parasitic insects and parasitic fun
gi, rather than chemically, as suggest
ed by the extract. But let the reason
ing be what it may, we are will to
indorse it as good practice.-Garde1a-

Changes in the Earth's Surface,

Attention has been called by NJ. J.
Girard to the supposed changes Of level
of the earth's surface in certain parts
of Europe. Villages in the Jura
which were hidden from each other no
longer than forty years ago have
gradually risen in sight, while in a
village in Bohemia the inhabitants
now see half of distant church spire
of which only the top was visible
thirty years ago. The apparent rising
of these places must, it is thought, be
a result of the warping of the solid
crust of the earth. To detect further
changes in the Bohemian locality a
line of levels has been run.

PYRAMIDS AND OBELISKS.
Are tho Great Egyptian Monuments
Mass OF stone or Concrete.

Are tho Great Egyptian Monuments
Mass OF stone or Concrete.
1t would be singular outcome if it
be eventually demonstrated that the
pyramids and obelisks of Egypt are
only masses of concrete. A writer in
the Scientific american asserts that
the obelisk in New York is composed
Of concrete, the coarse portions being
pulverized granite. The idea that the
mass might be concrete was first sug-
gested by popularity of the hiero-
glyphics which have the appearance of
being moulded instead of being cut.
The column was then tested and found
to be composed of hydraulic cement
and powdered granite 1t is the
opinion of the correspondent, who has
practical knowledge Of cements, that
the obelisk was moulded in an upright
position, tho moulds producing the
heiroglyphicS being cut in wood and
forming part of the retaining box, as
the concrete was laid up layer after
layer, as rapidly as it set.
\ recent writer claims that the vast
stones of the pyramid are blocks Of
concrete. If this is true it settles the
veXed question in mechanics as to the
method of raising such enormous
stones to the height of the great pyra
mid. \ company of hod carriers by a
single journey could carry to the sum-
NIT sufficient to make one of the i'm
mense blocks. Taking this view of the
matter the vast inclined planes which
have been constructed in the imagina-
tion of engineers to carry aloft the
huge stones would be unnecessary.
It is fact that the ancient world
made building cement which was as
hard and durable as stone. The cement
in the structure of ancient Rome suffi-
GENTLY indicates the superior skill of
the ancient masons. No cement
equal to that of the ancient times has
yet been manufactured.
The hydraulic cement Of ancient
times, stiffened with pounded and sift-
ed granite, would prove very durable
under the rainless skies of Egypt. In
no other country have ancient monu-
ments such lease of existence as in
Egypt. Rain water is a corrosive
force and it slowly disintegrates the
hardest rocks. When frost is added,
the force of disintegration becomes SO
potent that the destruction is very
marked. In Egypt there is neither
rain nor frost, andthe monuments are
only worn away by storms of sand.
The impact of sand will eventually
level the monuments of Egypt, if they
are not first burned by it. The pyra-
mids show the waste of the ages, and
whether they be built up of concrete
or fashioned from granite blocks, they
must eventually crumble.
