Woman and Time.

Woman has long contest with grim
Old Time before she will confess herself
beaten. At the first intimation that he is
pencilling her face she throws dash more
of youthfulness into her attire, and, if pos
sible, little more sweetness into her smile,
For a while she laughs at the audacity of
the wretch, as love is said to laugh at lock-
smiths. She sits in the theatre and notices
the fair young faces here and there, and
knows that Time is closing in on her, but
she thinks to cheat him by assuming ignor-
ance of his power and his intentions. She
INDUCES in no spoken "reminiscences, ceases
to date her stories, and begins to associate
more with women a great deal younger
than herself. When the crow S feet become
noticeable she resorts to mask veil which
comes Just to the top of her nose, and takes
at least five years from her record. A little
later and she makes her hat defy the thrust
of the enemy by jauntier poise than ever.
She fights the foe openly, cheats him with
her cherished artifces, contests every step
he takes, and scorns him always. She
never admits his mastery, as men do. The
theology of the toilet tells her to resist Age
and he will flee. This is doctrine she
faithfully lives up to. When she feels the
weight Of years upon her, she affects not to
know that Time, the all-devourer, is going
to be the victor after all. just as bravely
does she fight him as though there was a
hope that she would win the day. When
she can no longer defy him utterly, she
yields grimly to his dictation, though she
never acknowledges his mastery.

How to Avoid SMALLPOX.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can writes to that paper as follows: "Hav-
ing inhabited countries where smallpox is a
standing disease, and knowing for a. fact
that the following was used in houses and
ships surrounded by such calamity, and
those who.used the same in their respective
dealings were exempt from the seourge, |
give it to you for the benefit Of all Put
every week, even twice week, in warmed
glass vessel, half ounce of sulphuric acid
The fumes will ascend in reddish color
and spread over the house, and take off
sickness or miasma from said house, and
prevent those occupying the same from
taking the disease.

Virginia had salt works at Cape Charles
as early as 1880, and in 1859 some enter
prising colonists began to develop those of
South Carolina, which later on assumed
such importance that the colonial authori-
ties enacted special laws for the encourage
ment of the industry.
In the Northern States the Jesuit, Lee
moyne, discovered the Onondaga salt mines
as far back as the year 100, and immedi-
ately thereafter the Indians opened up a
profitable traffic in this article with Quebec
and Montreal
Some conception of the extent to which
these mines have been developed may be
gained from the statement that while their
product in 1789-less than century ago
was only 100 barrels, it has now attained
the enormous figure of nearly 100000
barrels annually.
From 1880 to 1859 Michigan struggled
in her efforts to utilize her salt wells, with
out avail In the latter year the Legisla-
ture of that state decreed bounty of ten
cents per bushel Since then its product
in quantity and quality has excelled that of
every other state in the Union The an
nual product of the first date above was
400 barrels; now it exceeds 100000
bushels
During the Civil War the South had to
rely upon the springs at Saltville, Wash
ington county, Va, and few other places
within its borders for its supplies of salt,
and cargo of salt was Regarded as one Of
the most valuable -5snat a blockade-runner
could bring in. In 1864, after General
Stoneman made his raid upon the ltworks
in Washington county, the inhel tants
were compelled to dig up the earth o., ssssair
old smoke-houses, and wash out the resi-
dunn of salt therein, and the Confederate
army found it necessary to send relays of
men to the Florida coast to furnish them
with regular supply.
Some idea of the vast amount of salt
used annually can be formed when we bear
in mind the fact that the consumption per
capita in the United States is estimated at
60 pounds; in Great Britain %, and in
France 20 pounds. The famous wool
growing merino sheep of Spain are esti-
mated as consuming % pounds each year
as much as is consumed by the average
( BritOn.

SALT WITH NUTs.-As this is the sea-
son when children and adults also eat freely
of nuts, it may not be out of place to give
to our readers, what an exchange says upon
the subject "One time, while enjoying a
visit from an Englishman, hickorynuts were
served in the evening, when my English
friend called for salt, stating that he knew
a case of a woman who was taken violently
i'll by eating heartily of nuts in the evening,
The celebrated DR.. Abernethy was sent for,
but it was after he had become too fond of his
cups, and he was not in a condition to go.
He muttered, ''saIt, salt" ofwhich no notice
was taken Next morning he went to the
place, and she was corpse. He said that
had they given her salt it would have relieved
her, and if they would allow him to make
an examination he would convince them.
On opening the stomach, the nuts were
found in mass. He sprinkled salt on this
and it Immediately dissolved. Ihaye known
of a sudden death myself which appears to
have been the effect of the same cause. l
generally eat salt with nuts and consider it
improves them"

Mr.. NanSyckel admitted that Pierce
had been guilty of an offense but not
of the one he was accused of, however.
The first witness called for the de-
