THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1854.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the COL
umns of all THE SUNS printed and sold last
year you would get continuous strip of inter-
esting information, common sense wisdom,
sound doctrine, and sane wit long enough to
reacl from Printing House square to the top
of Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back
to Printing House square, and then three
quarters of the way back to the moon again
But THE SUN is written for the Inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-Seven or twen-
ty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over 1t,
or if bis vile or his grandfather has spent an
other hour, this newspaper in 1883. has afford
ed the human race thirteen thousand years OF
steady reading, night and day.
1t is by only little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of american newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without fear of con-
sequences, which gets at the facts no matter
how much the process costs, which presents
the news of all the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its for the cause of honest
government, and which therefore believes that
the Republican party must go, and must go in
this coming year of our Lord. 1884
If you know THE SUN, you like ii already,
and you will read 1t with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
yet know The SUN, it is high time to get into
the sunshine

Sandwiches.

To make wonderfully appetizing sand
wiches proceed in this way. Take equal
quantities of the breast Of a cold boiled
chicken and OF cold boiled tongue. Chop
them very fine; so fine in fact that you
cannot distinguish the separate particles.
Add a good large Tablespoonful o!
celery salt, pinch of cayenne pepper,
and four tablespoonfuls Of Mayonnaise
dressing. This quantity OF condiments
will be enough to season the breast of
one large chicken, and an equal quantity
Of tongue. When this is perfectly cold,
spread some thin slices of bread with
butter, and then with this mixture. Do
not prepare them till you are about
ready to serve them. If you wish to
take sandwiches for lunch when travel
ling, be careful not to make the dressing
quite SO moist as you would if they are
to be eaten at home The better way,
II you do not object to the trouble, is to
Put, the salad filling in small glass jar,
and spread the sandwiches as you need
them.

The Heads of Great Men.

1t is usually supposed that men. of
great intellectual powers have large and
massive heads; but the theory which DIR.
Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth,
was the first to suggest, Is not borne out
by facts. An examination of busts, pic
lures, medallions, intaglios, etc., of the
worlds famous celebrities almost always
tends the other way. In the earlier
paintings, it is true, men are distinguished
by their large heads, but this is attribu-
table to the painters, who agreed with
the general opinion, and wished to hatter
their sitters. A receding forehead is
mostly condemned. Nevertheless, this
feature is found in Alexander the Great,
ard, to a lesser degree, in Julius Caesar.
The head of Frederick the Great, as will
he seen from one of the portraits in Car
Iyles work, receded dreadfully. Other
great men have had positively small
heads. Lord Byron's was remarkably
small, as were those of Lord Bacon and
Cosmo di Medici. Men of genius Of an
Gent times have only what may be called
an ordinary or every day forehead, and
Herodotus, Alcibiades, Plato, Aristotle
and Epicurus, among many others, are
mentioned as instances. Some are even
low-browed, as Burton, the author of
-" The Anatomy of Melancholy" Sir
Thomas Browne, and Albert Durer. The
average forehead OF the Greek sculptures
IN the trieze from the Parthenon is we
are told, " lower, if any thing, than what
Is seen in modern foreheads." The gods
themselves are represented with "ordina-
ry if not low hrows' Thus it appears
that the popular notion on the matter is
erroneous, and that there may be great
men without big heads in other words,
Geneva watch is capable of keeping as
correct time as an eight-day clock.

Mutton Sheep.

There is a lamentable dearth Of good
mutton In village and rural markets, as
we know from a personal experience OF
thirty years or more. Lamb is quite
plenty In the summer months at the re-
tail price of twenty to twenty-five cents,
and mutton in the fall months at little
less price than good beef; but the rest OF
the year it is hardly to be had at any
price, as If it were a thing ; of season.
like Strawberries in De nber. We
ought to have mutton the II round, so
that delicate stomachs that -chew veal
in spring and fresh pork inter can
have a change from pou mutton
chop at their convenient Good dog
laws have been passed in ome of the
States, so that sheep raising is possible,
and the owner gets damages when his
flock is worried by dogs. There is i'm
provement, but it is very slow; and there
is great want of information as to the
best breeds for mutton and the best way
to Improve the hocks Of common sheep
The pure Southdown is the mutton sheep
OF all other breeds, unquestionably.
Then, after this, the various other families
of Downs, as the Han pshres and other
English shlres, taking the names of the
counties in which they are bred. A
Southdown running with a flock of
Merinos or common sheep, will bring
grades giving an excellent quality of
lamb and mutton, though not equal in
flavor to the purely bred If these
grades are put with Costwold ram, we
have sheep much increased in size with
an excellent quality of mutton. This
cross g YES a carcass from one-quarter to
third larger than the grades, and some
times one-half. The lambs mature early
and are great favorites with the butcher.
We have found no better cross than this
in our sheep breeding. 1t is not neces-
sary now to pay fancy prices for good
breeding rams, either of the Southdowns
or Cotswolds. They are quite widely
distributed and can be had at prices
within the reach of any thrifty farmer.

Our Theological Seminaries.

Our own Church Northern Presbyte-
rian and other evangelical denomina-
tons are called to examine seriously the
question of ministerial supply. There
has been gradual diminution of theolo-
gical students for several years, as com
pared with the increase of churches and
fields in need of ministerial laborers.
We have prepared a table of the mum.
Der of students in our theological semi
naries from 1869 to 1873, which includes
one year before the reunion and fourteen
since. 1t shows not only the general
progress, but also the relative work oil
each seminary.
For the last three years Lane Semina-
ny has had special course for Chinese
students. 1t had in 1881 and 1882 two
students, and this year four; but these
are not reckoned, for the reason that they
are not yet students of theology, but have
been receiving instruction, such as be-
longs to academical education. They
furnish no basis of Ministerial supply, for
the present at least. There are also in
most of the seminaries resident graduates
which we should have left out if we
: could have known their number. These,
however, will perhaps balance those who
come into the ministry after two years
course Of study. So that it must be very
nearly accurate to estimate one-third oil
the whole number of students of each
year as entering upon their work in the
field.
The membership Of the Church in 1870
was 446 SCI, and in 1882 it was 592, l2S

above 35 per cent, while the average
increase of students for fourteen years is
about 9 per cent, and the whole increase
not far from II per cent. If we take the
first and last years the increase is less
than 6 per cent. The years from 1875
to 1880 inclusive were the most prosper
GUS, while the last three years show not
many more students than the first three.
Cur semlnarles are only sending from 80
to l55 men each year into the field. Our
figures do notinclude German and Freed
men schools, which are doing a good
work for the German and colored church
es, which have grown perhaps as much as
the increase ofcommunicants in the whole
Church in this year which we leave out
1t would seem that there should be Sc
rions thought given to the question, How
shall we increase the number of students
for the ministry? The question is open
for discussion. Let pastors and parents,
presidents and teachers in our academies
and colleges. answer. Let the next As
sembly give attention to the subject and
all the lower courts also. Let all Chris.
tians, including men and women having
wealth, ask and pray.-Herold and Pres

A Hindu Shradh.

A Shr0dh is a religious ceremony
designed both to do honor to deceased
person. and to secure the salvation of his
soul. 1t Is held on the thirty first dav
after death occurs. A missionary of the
Church Of Scotland writes of shradhs In
general, and Of one in particular that OF
the Dowager Maharanee, who lately died
at the age of ninety-tour. She belonged
to family which is the acknowledged
head of the Hindu community in Cal
cutta. The incident, therefore. shows
not what is done by the ignorant and
degraded, but by the elite OF Hinduism
The missionary says after death. the
body IS removed to the burning qhout
and there consumed on the funeral pile
On the thirty -first day after death, re-
latlons, friends, and neighbors meet in
the house of the deceased. Brahmans
and Pundlts come from far and near, anG
beggars of every description flock to
gether like vultures to a carcass. The
gods are. worshipped; the guests are
toasted; presents are made TO the Brah
mans; and the beggars are fed. The
festival continues for several DAYS. The
cost OF these shradhs is enormous: e2O.-

Mrs. Gladstone on the Training
of the Young.

Mrs. Gladstone has contributed preface
to the new edition of Early Influences, A."
Just published by Messrs. Rivingtons, in
which, after bestowing warm praises on
that well-kuown little manual, she offers
some observation on the training of the
young. Mrs Gladstone observes that il
IS " the step by step training-the learn
ing child's disposition by means Of
hourly watchfulness-which is too often
neglected = and she directs attention to
" the way in which children are often
over-noticed and oyer-petted, and con
sidered in every conceivable way and
again, the dangers attending the very
advantages of charming by interesting
books All this, she adds, "unless reg
ulated and checked by proper home in.
Huence, may become an actual snare. So
much the more is it necessary that, from
very early childhood, the mother should
guide and shape the child's mind and
heart"

Hugh Miller, when working at his trade
as a stonemason, used to say that his was
grand calling, because the routine of if
gave to first-class workman so much
time and force for silent communion with
God. 1t was in such communion that be
laid the foundation of that dignity Of
character which afterward made him the
companion Of philosophers and the in
5tructor OF princess. 1t matters little
what may be man s employment in life
The whole life is ennobled and adorned
