Tie Ptinee.s Packet Money.

Charles X, of France, wheh shlld,
was one day playing in an apartment OF
the palace while a peasant from Au-
vergue was busily employed in scrubbing
the floor. The latter, encouraged by the
gayety and playfulness of the young
count, entered Familiarity into conversa-
ton with him, and to amuse Thin, told
him a number of diverting stories and
anecdotes of his province. The prince,
with all the ingenuousness of childhood,
expressed his commiseration for the
narrator's evident poverty, and for the
labor which he was obliged to undergo
IN order to obtain scanty livelihood.
"Ah!' said the man, "my poor wife
and five children often go supperless to
bed"
well, theD," replied the prince,
with teMs in his eyes, "you must let
me manage for you. My governor every
month gives me some pocket money, for
which, after all, ! have no occasion,
since l want for nothing. You shall
take this money and give it to your wife
and children; but be sure not to mention
a word of the matter to a living soul, or
you will be finely scolded."
On leaving the apartment the honest
dependant ACQUAINTED the governor of
the young prince with the conversation
that had taken place. The latter, after
praising the servant highly for his scru-
pulous integrity, desired him to accept
the money, and to keep the affair pro-
found secret, adding that he should have
no cause to repent of his discretion. At
the end of the month the young Count
d'AItois received his allowance as usual,
and, watching the moment when he was
unobserved, hastily slipped the whole
sum into the hands of his protege.
On the same evening a child's lottery
was proposed, for the amusement of the
young princes, by the governor, who had
purposely distributed among the prizes
such objects as were likely to tempt
boy of the counts age. Each of his
brothers eagerly hszarded his little store,
but the Count d'Artois kept aloof from
his fayorlte amusement. The governor,
feiguiug establishment, at last demanded
the reason of this unusual prudence;
still no answer from the count. One OF
the princes, his brother, next testified
his surprise, and at length pressed the
young count so hard that, in a moment
of childish Impotence, he exclaimed:
This may be very we'll for you, but
what would you do if, like me, you had
wife and five children to support 2"

Farmhouse Cellars.

So long has cellar under the farm
house been considered prime necessity
that he who would venture to declare
that tme-hOnOred institution a nuisance
which should no longer be tolerated
would be assailed by sharp criticism, if
he was not, indeed, set down as unwer-
thy of notice because of the unreason
able nature of the assertion. Yet il is
easy to show that the average farm eel
lar is costly, inconvenient, and above
all dangerous addition to the dwell
ing.
Those who have given to sanitary sci
ence the most painstaking and thor
ough study agree that to insure health
mess there should be under every dwell
ing free circulation, and soil per-
fectly drained, by art or naturally. This
Is impossible where there are cellars as
usually constructed. IN the better class
es of houses ar attempt at drain
ing is usually made, even when
the soil is gravelly or sandy.
although in such soil drains are not in
frequently considered unnecessary. Yet
sandy soils often rest on impervious
beds of clay, and are at times saturated
with water. Usually a drain made of
plank serves the double purpose of con-
Quoting water away from the cellar, and
to it air foul with the odors of decaying
wood, and perhaps of rats and mice
which, with a true inwardness troubled
by dose generously furnished by the
housewife, have crawled into the drain
to mingle their Idast with the rotting
wood
Sometimes through the waste pipe
from the kitchen-sink outlet to the cell
lar drain is given to all the refuse which
can be made to pass through the pipe,
to be in time followed by the water of
the weekly washing, In which is the eff
fete matter left in their clothing by peo-
pie in health, or mavhap the living germs
of scarlet-fever, diphtberia, or diseases,
if possible, even more deadly than these.
Lodging III the drain, these wait to be
drawn again into and through the house
by the currents created by the house

the drain and cellar the process of decay
and termination OF disease vii scarcely
be checked even Ia severe winter. but
their emanatious must rise through and
permeate the living rooms above, for IN
winter the cellar viii be tightly closed.
Built upon the surface OF well-drained
earth, storehouse for vegetables and
the many things which are now stored in
the cellar would cost little if any more
than would cellar of ike capacity.
Proper precautions would make its walls
almost proof against the heaviest frosts,
and an inexpensive and easily-managed
stove would insure against freezing.
Placed near the kitchen and connected
by an ioclosed passage, the outdoor cell
lar would be more accessible and in many
ways more convenient than the cellar can
be. The woman would no longer he

A SENSIBLE young lady made the fol-
lowing reiiUeat 70 her friends: "Do not
lay me down by the Tipping brook s side,
lest babbling lovers wake me from my
dreams, nor in the beautiful cemeteries
in the 7aiiszs, lest sight-seers, coming
over epitaphs, 2i@t-aet me; but let my
last sleep be under the cotttet of the
merchant and the business man generality
| WHO never advertises. THERE'S the peace
which pass6th all understanding, and a
deep sleep on which neither the buoyant
football of youth nor the weary shuttle
| and drag of old age will ever intrude."
THERE if now being constructed in
Cincinnati, for tie Spring Grove ceme-
terry, Ohio, the finest iron fence ever
| made IN this country 1t is destined &c
SURROUND the cemetery chapel, and is en-
tirely made OF wrought iron, hand forged.
Seventy-five workmen have been en-
ployed on it for the past two years. The
designs are taken from the fence sur
rounding the Prince of Wales residence
at Sandringham. Some idea of its di-
mansions may be gained from the facts
that the gates weigh LOO pounds, the
large posts 900 pounds, and the small
posts 600 pounds each.
THE famous "Pitch Lake" II Trini-
dad, is a misnomer in point of name, in
asmuch as 1T is concrete, slightly flex-
ible mass of pitch. 1t is plain on which
bushes and patches of vegetable forma-
ton and pools of water are to be seen.
There is no difficulty in walking or wad-
ing over it. The pitch is dug up with
pickaxes and breaks OH IN large lamps.
The diggers never go deep enough to
find the pitch soft and elastic. In short
time the cavity made fills up again. The
lake comprises about one hundred acres,

hausted.
ALARMED by recent awful G&laLeities
the Russian government issued an off,
cial circular requiring all theaters to be
abundantly supplied with water distrib-
uted according to specified plan. At
the Alexandria Music Hall in st. tse-
tersburg ali the conditions were appa-
rently fulfilled to the perfect satisfac-
ton of the authorities. But one day
the chief of police decided to make a
personal examination. He tttrned a
faucet, but no water came; a second
and third were equally dry, and in a
word, he fettnd that Of all the elaborate
appliances, pipes, Jets, spoutsi etc.. not
single one was CONNECTED with any
reservoir whatever. Such a baretacea
sham was too much for Russian patience,
and the theater was closed forthwith,

when TO Apply Manure.

The common practice is to cart the
manure from the barnyard once year,
usually in the spring. In this way the
hauling is done when other work is
pressing and while the ground is soft.
1t is better to draw out the manure ex.
posed in open yards, as it accumulates,
and drop it in heaps in the fields where
1t is to be used. With the best facili-
ties for keeping the manure-that is,
with barn cellar-there is less loss in
keeping it under cover, and, when well
rotted, apply it to the ground Just at the
time when it will be of the most benefit
to the crop. Manure is considered as SO
much capital used in growing the crop,
aud bears interest only as it is used by
the plants. If beets or turnips need the
most manure in midsummer, it is econo-
my to apply il then, provided there is
the proper facility for making, storing
and turning out this valuable fertilizer
every month in the year. Grass lands
can make use of manure at nearly all
times, and upon these it may be spread
IN winter with economy of labor and ex-
cellent results.

New Cure for Baking Horse.

discovered for baking and eribbing
horses by the application Of electricity.
A gentleman in Baltimore, who has a
horse subject to baking, placed an cleo

Nice Notions AbOut STABLES

Let your stable be well drained and
sufficiently lighted. The vapors from a
damp, putrid floor, and the sudden
change from darkness to light, will al
most to a certainty cause blindness.
Let the floor of the stall be quite fiat
and level. Standing on sloping place
Is very painful, and causes lameness by
stralning the ligaments and membranes.
1t also produces grease and sore heels.
Every stall should be at least six feet
vide and nine feet long. This will en-
able the horse to turn round without
bruising himself, and to lie down and
stretch himself with comfort. Let the
stalls be separated by partitions, not by
bars. They will prevent the horses
from fighting and kicking each other.
Let proper openings at the bottom of
the wall to admit fresh air. Impure
and confined air will cause broken wind
The fresh air should enter through a
number of small holes rather than a
large hole, such as an open window. That
prevents drafts, which cause chilis and
coughs. The temperature of stable
should be that OF a sitting room or par
Tor; not over 70o in summer, nor under
45o in winter. Hot, close or foul stables
will bring on CHAMBERS or inflammation
while a very cold or damp one may cause
incurable cough, or diseases of the lungs.
Do not keep the hay over the manger.
The steam and breath of the animal
make it both unpleasant and unwhole-
some. Ii the hay must be kept over the
horse, the ceiling should be of plaster.
This will in some measure prevent va
pors from passing up to the food. Have
no opening into the manger from the
hay loft. Dust is very often thrown into
the horses eyes when fed in this way,
and thus blindness is begun. The
breath ascends directly to the food
through the opening, which at the same
time pours a continued draft down on
the horses head, thus causing chills, as
well as bad food. = Whip and Spur.

What curious tales has life in store,
With all its must-bes and its may-bes!
The sage of eighty years and more
Once crept nursing on the floor;
Kings, conquerors, judges, all were babies.
The fearless soldier who has faced
The serried bayonets CLEAN appalling,
For nothing save pin misplaced
The peaceful nursery has disgraced
With hours of unheroic baTling.
The mighty monarch, whose renown
Fills up the stately page historic,
Has howled to waken half the town,
And finished off by gulping down
his castor OIL or paregoric.
The Justice, who, in gown and cap,
Condemns a wretch to stranguation,
Has scratched his nurse and spilled his pap,
And sprawled across his mothers lap
For wholesome laws administration.
All, life has many a reef to shun
Before in port drop our anchor
But when its course is nobly run
Look aft for there the work was done.
Life owes its Roadway to the srsnker!
Yon seat Of justice well might awe
The fairest manhood's half blown summer:
There Parsons scourged the laggard law,
There reigned and ruled majestic Shaw
What ghosts to hail the last newcomer!
One cause of fear family name
The dread lest duty's derelictiep
Shall give 80 rarely cause Tor blame
Our guileless voters shall exclaim,

What keeps the doctors trade alive?
Bad air, bad water mores the pity!
Sut lawyers walk where doctors drive,
And starye in streets where surgeons thrive
Our Boston is so pure city.
What call for Judge CT court, indeed
When righteousness prevails so through il
Our virtuous car conductors need
Only card wherein they read:

The whirligig of time goes round,
And changes all things but affection:
One blessed comfort may be found
In heavens bread statute which has bound
Each household to its heads protection.

For along time past it appears the Chi

much satisfaction, in a very remarkable
kind of bean which grows in that region
but some energetic European has found
that this bean, owing to the greasy mat
ter and the albumen which it contains,
can be worked up into an excellent
cheese. The bean Is, therefore, to be
imported into the south of France, and,
if 1T thrives, we are promised cheese
which will rank with nothing less than
