Vulgar Words.

A distinguished author says: Il resolved
when 1 was child never t9 use word
which 1 could not use before my mother
without offending her." His rule and ex-
ample are worthy of imitation. Boys gen.
orally learn class of vulgar words and ex
pressions which are never heard in respecta
BILE circles The utmost care on the part of
parents will scarcely prevent it. Of course
we cannot think of girls being so much
exposed to the peril. We cannot imagine
decent girl using words that she would not
give utterance to before her father or mother.
Such vulgarity is thought by some boys to
be 'smart'--the a"next thing to swearing"
and yet mot so wicked" But it is habit
which leads to profanity and fills the mind
with evil thoughts. 1t vulgarizes and de-
grades the soul, and prepares the way for
many of the gross and fearful sins which
now corrupt society.

A Valuable Invention.

A new and valuable invention in illumina-
ting gas has been made by New Zealand
tradesman. 1t is composed of air, water and
fat, or new combination of oxygen, hydro
gen and carbon. A company has been
formed to work the patent, and some Aus
tralian capitalists are endeavoring to pur-
chase all the rights for their colonies, but
have only secured one seventy-second part,
for which they paid $1,000. The invention
is said to have been suggested in very
homely manner, recalling the juvenile Watt
and his steaming kettle. 1t seems the in
venter was watching frying chop one even
ing, and drop of water accidently fell in
to the pan. A puff and speck of flame en-
sued from the chemical decomposition of the
water in the hot fat, and from the scientific
application of this trivial circumstance the
observer is about to reap handsome for
funa

Cure for HydrOphObia.

DR.. d. Cullimore, an English physician,
reports to the London Lancet the cure of
case of hydrophobia after the usually fatal
symptoms had begun. The patient was a
boy of six years. He was kept as quiet as
possible, and then given every half hour,
until he had taken twelve doses, one drop
tincture of aconite, six grains bromide of
potash, and six drops tincture cinchona in
half an ounce of water. Afterward the dose
was given only three times day. The
patient was kept on low diet of arrowroot,
and was several weeks in recovering. Many
of the cases of reported hydrophObia are
probably hysteria brought on by the morbid
fears of persons bitten by dogs, but boy as
young as the one just described can hardly
have yielded to such impulses. The cure is
interesting as being almost, if not quite, I'M
precidented.

Sawdust is said by some to be better than
hair in protecting rough cast from peeling
and scalding under the influence of frost and
weather. The sawdust should be first dried
and then thoroughly sifted in order to re-
move the coarser particles. A mixture is
then made of two parts sawdust, five parts
sharp sand and one part cement, which
should be thoroughly stirred together and
then incorporated with two parts OF lime.

Initiating Walnut.

Black birch, which is rapidly coming into
favor, is close-grained and very handsome
wood, and can be easily stained to represent
walnut exactly. 1t is just as easy to work,
and is suitable for nearly, if not all, the pur-
poses to which black walnut is at present
applied. Birch is much the same color as
cherry, but the latter wood is now very
scarce, and consequently dear. It is diff
cult thing to obtain cherry at $50 a thousand
feet, while birch wood can be had at any
saw-mill at 81 per thousand feet. When
properly stained it is almost impossible to
distinguish the difference between it and
walnut, as it is susceptible of beautiful
polish equal to any wood now used in the
manufacture of furniture In the forests
throughout Ontario birch grows in abun-
dance, especially if the land is not too
boggy. There is great difference in the
wood of different sections. Where the land
is high and dry the wood is firm and clear
but if the land is low and wet the wood has
a tendency to be soft and of blush color.
In all the northern regions it can be found
in great abundance, and as the tree grows to
such great size little trouble is experienced
in procuring it in large quantities.

KING WINTER.

Now in his crystal palace,
Far in the frozen North,
King Winter blows his bugle,
And sends his couriers forth!
They lush; a mighty army,
In fieecy garments dressed
And every hill and valley
They claim from East to West.
They hang their icy pennons
On shrub and bush and tree;
They spread a snowy carpet
Far as the eye can see.
And under this soft carpet
The flowers will sleep till spring;
So let us warmly welcome
The snow fakes and their king.

MASONRY.
Its Introduction into California Remi.
niscences of the First Lodge Or.

ten History.
(San Francisco Bulletin.

[San Francisco Bulletin.l
Among those present at the installation of
the new officers of California Lodge, No. l,
F. and A. NJ, held last evening in Com
mandery Hall, Masonic Temple, was Past
Grand Master j. D. Stevenson, the oldest liv-
ing Free Mason in California. Before the
meeting closed Col. Stevenson spoke briefly
of the early history of Free Masonry in Cali
fornia. In 1849, California Lodge, No. l.
the first Masonic Lodge in the State-was
organized in this city, in loft, the ceiling of
which was so low that man five feet six
inches in height could not stand erect ten
feet from the center of the room. The Lodge
consisted Of ten members, a few of whom had
to become personally responsible for the
rent, which was $500 month. 1t cost 81 800
to furnish the hall. After the regular busi-
ness of the Lodge had been transacted the
doors were thrown open to all who desired to
enter and aid in relieving the sick and dis
tressed. Up to that time the city contained
few places where men could meet one an
other in friendly and social intercourse, ex-
cept in Saloons gambling dens and kindred
establishments. To this first assembly hall
of California Lodge reports were brought of
those who arrived in the city in sickness or
distress, and prompt relief was furnished.
launch loaded with sick miners had just ar
rived from Sacramento; at another the re-
port would be that ship had just come in
from Panama with load of fever stricken
passengers needing immediate assistance.
Committees were at once organized to take
charge of the sufferers whether MasOns or
not, and collection taken up to defray the
expenses of their care. The hat was in those
days placed upon the altar, and voluntary
contributions to charity were poured into it
so rapidly that it was frequently filled in
much less time than it took him (the
speaker) to narrate it, 1t was no uncommon
thing to take up 81 900 in night. Miners
fresh from the mining districts would draw
out long purses filled with gold, and without
regard to the value of their contents throw
them into the hat. 1t was under these aus
pices and in this way that Masonry started
in California 1he first to organize in the
interest of charity, Masonry showed the way
to others to establish hospitals for the sick
and homes for the destitute. It spread its
influence everywhere. and extended its
sphere of usefulness all over the State. At
Sacramento few Masons established hos
pital and incurred debt for its maintenance
of over $4,000, for which three of them be-
came responsible, resulting unfortunately in
the financial ruin of some of them. This is a
part of the unwritten history of Free Ma
sonry in California. 1t has continued up to
the present time the work so nObly begun
And yet, continued the venerable speaker
there are some people who say there is no
good in Masonry!

THE BELLIES.

HOW tney ludlcrOuSIy WlSSle
AS chaffigly they higgle
With some unlucky wight;
Keeping time time, time,
As mercifully they twne
The silly obfuscations of their numerous sells
Oh, the Bellies, Bellies, Bellies Bellies.
Bellies, Bellies, Bellies
The pitiless and mischief loving Bellies!
Hear the lately bridted Bellies,
Blushing Bellies
What world of future misery coquetishness for
tells.
How they gaily move along
In the bright and happy throng,
Comme il faut!
How the rustling of their trains
Bring silken-voiced refrains,
AS they go,
To the fast and happy throbbing of their bllsstul
fevered brains.
How the heart with rapture sweils,
As enchantingly it dwells
On the future. How it tells
Ofthe rupture that impells
70 the Swinging and the ringing of the Bellies,
Ofthe Bellies Bellies, Bellies,
Ofthc Bellies, Bellies, Bellies, Bellies,
Bellies Bellies, Bellies,
To the Turing and securing of the Bellies.
Hear the hoyden dashing Bellies
Saucy Bellies!
What strong assertiveness their turbuleney tells
In the startled sight of man
How they fiirt and fling their fan.
Too coarse to be refined
They ca2 only speak their mind
In slang
That n vendor of choice Billingsgate
Would certainly repudiate
Ifaccredited to him,
Or attributed to him.
Their ferocious looking hair
Is not arranged with care,
But culminateth in a savage bang.
oh! the Bellies The Hoyden Bells
They that dote upon the "Fell's
Ofthe Tom
How they powder, rouge aud paint
How they opportunity faint
On the bosom of some palpitating Don,
Yet conscious all the while
In their feigning
OF a paining
And in their stale renewal Of vile,
That their scheming
Lacks true seeming,
And deception, but impels
The beaux TO feel dsgusted with such action of the
Bellies,
Ofthe Bellies, Bellies, Bellies, Bells,
Bellies, Bellies Bellies,
OF the lack of true refinement in the Bellies.
See the antiquated Bellies
Faded Bellies
What world of solemn thought antiquity compels
They once were young and fair,
And with coquettish air
Waved many honest lovers from their feet
They thought that love was naught
Till after years soon brought,
AS was meet,
A conviction that lover
Was hard to flush from cover
Though conceit
Made their hearts still futter, fiutter
In palpitating beat
When some Tom or Charles would utter
Soft nothings low and sweet
But the years without a token
With no word oftrue love spoken
Onward sped,
And such cherished hopes are dead,
And the melancholy Bellies
Whom necessity compels
To do without the swells-
These drear and scar old Bells
Taste the bitter fruit of Time
AS they slowly pass their prime
But the sorrow stricken Bellies
Dropping Bellies!
Can hardly yet conceive
AS they passionately grieve,
That no charm within them dweils-
Oh, sad Bellies, Bellies, Bells
You now can sure perceive
That to spinster life impels
The fate which flirting weaves.
Oh, We Bellies, Bellies, Bellies
Poor disconnected Bellies!
Oh, Bellies, Bellies, Bellies. Bells,
Bellies, Bellies, Bells,
Unhusbanded and dropping spinster Bellies!

Before transplanting trees, two piece
of paper or cloth are tied to th,
branches on the east and west, or north
and south sides Of the tree, so that i
may be planted as it stood before in re
lation to the sun Particular care i,
taken in removing the tree. Large
roots which extend so far into the ground
that it requires great deal of labor tC
I dig them out are cut of at certain
points, either by the saw or any other
cutting implements, fihrous roots being
carefully protected The spot where
the tree is TO be planted is dug a little
larger than the roots absolutely require.
Ii the tree Is large two or four strong
posts or stakes OF convenient size and
length are set about il before digging,
and are connected By one or more hor-
i2ontal Stats The stem of the tree is
wrapped in straw mating, and tied
firmly to the horizontal Stats. Where
two horizontal Stats are used they are
fixed to cross each other at the point
where the stem is tied. The tree is
thus in a suspended condition, there
fore though we dig around the
roots quite deep. it may not only be
prevented from falling down, but lis
iibrous roots, which would otherwise
lie injured more or less by the heavy
pressure OF the whole tree, can be saved
to large extent.
After having removed the tree TO the
desired place, particular care is taken
in covering the roots well, and also in
watering, especially ii the soil is rather
light. Press the dirt, which is thrown
ipto the hole a little at a time, firmly
around the roots, taking care at the
same time to set them in their natural
position as far as possible, On the
contrary, if we throw in dirt upon the
roots all al one time and carclessly. all
the roots, large and small. are crowded
together in one mass, many Of which
will be injured, even if the tree is not
killed. This is especially true of those
trees whose roots are rather stiil, as. for
instance the Persimmon trees After
the tree is planted it is examined from
all sides to see that il has been planted
straight and then Il is tied to three
posts which are so set about il rs 10 pro
