What world of meaning lies hid
den in these two words. Reversing
them we place the foundation beneath,
and then place upon it the surerstruc-
ture or CASTLE wherein dwells earth's
choicest blessings, home and health.
Mothers, do you realize the greatness
OF the vast empires over which you
reign as queens? Do you realize that
from your respective domains go forth
tie statesman, the orator, the philan-
throplst, the explorer, the astronomer,
the missionary, and, too, the dema-
gogue, the bloodthirsty warrior, the
scheming politician, the votary of
folly and fashion, the defaultcr, the reck-
less murderer, and all the higher and
lower grades of humanity--all at the
san time pass through the crucible of
home, of which you are the control
ling power? Truly you occupy
honorary places in the galaxy of
earthly soveriegns. But do you real
ize in what great degree the health
or sickness Of the world may be laid
TO your charge? If the infant consti-
tuition, mind rs well as body, be duly
attended TO- the result will surely be
shown in I'LL the coming years. Give
the little ones plenty of fresh air,
Wholesome food, all the exercise their
young hearts desire, with bodies I'M
trammeled by tight bands and belts
Let every muscle have free, full play
at all times. Don't dress your chill
,lrcn so tight that it is Il relief,
like opening a prison door, to
undress them for the night. We
known by early experience what that
is, for we have felt it, and all through |
our life bave felt its effects. The cost |
Is far too great, for the reward it brings
is only vanity. Give the little ones
wholesome food, plenty of it, and at
regular periods. Disobey these rules
then disease will be engendered and
resort had to all the poisonous nos
trums Of the day, which serve only to
allay the uneasinesS for the time
being, and leave their direful effects
in the tender system, to be manifested
in some other way in the coming years
Keep the blood pure, not by lotions
soaps and powders, but by air, eXer-
else, proper food and drink. Venti-
late your sleeping as well as your
living rooms. Let in pure air, and, if
at all practicable, let the sun every
day permeate every article of bedding
and clothing. 1t is astonishing to
read what a great difference in the
per cent Of mortality in large cities on
different sides OF the same street, en-. |
tirely owing to the different degrees of
exposure to the sun. Let the little
ones think for themselves. Let them |
ask ever so many questions. Don't |
bluff them off in either anger or i'm
patience. Endeavor early to subdue
and correct every semblance of dis
stimulation, revenge, hatred and pas,
sion. Observation teaches us that
children are just what they are made,
and the rule is that lust rs the twig
is bent the tree is Inclined" Then how
all important is it that the tender
precious little twigs should have all
their faculties bent in the right di-
rcGtOn.

An Inrellissnt wasnerwoman.

A certain young lady left the house
visit in the country, and as it was Mon
day she left directions with the lady sf
the house to give the washerwoman her
weeks washing when she called. The
washing was done up in newspaper,
and that was the only bundle Of the
kind in the room, so there could be no
mistake.
On her return in the latter part Of the
afternoon she discovered that her wash
ing had not been taken. Furthernu re,
there appeared to have been trouble in
the house and the sulphurious odor Of
profanity pervaded the atmosphere. A
young man who occupied room on the
floor below her was raving up and down, !,
valnly seeking fora costume which he had
hired for masquerade party that night.
She heard him declare that he had left it
in his room rolled up in newspaper;
that It was gone, and he was just $25
and good time out by the loss of it.
Tho young lady Immediately tumbled to
the state Of things. Her washerwoman
had gone into the wrong room and taken
the suit instead of the bundle of soiled
clothes. She volunteered this explain
alton to the young man, and he agreed
to escort her to the house Of the Offend
ing washerwoman and recover the prop
erty.
The house was found after considera-
BILE search, but no one appeared to be at
home. They pounded the door of the
little hut-it was some distance out Of
the city--but got no reply. At length
they walked around TO the back door,
and there in the yard they saw to their
horror the costume suspended from
clothes line, having been washed
and hung out TO dry. It had lost
ils original brightness, aud not only
this, but It's original size. II had been
intended for . man six feet high, and

w. H. Marquis, Of this place, gives
the following description OF swarm of
bees which he has in his apiary in Ira
buca:
On July 9th hived large swarm Of
hybrid bees, placing them in q double
box. The boxes were each l4xl5 inches
In size on the inside and IL inches deep,
the lower one containing 10 frames and
the top ene 8, each frame being llxI4
inches. On July 18th opened the hive
and found all Of the frames filled with
comb and contained, as near as l
cold calculate, twenty pounds Of
honey. l Immediately gave them q
third box of the same dimensions,
having frames. July the Goth found
this box built full Of comb and the cells
pretty well filed. From it and the Sec
ond box we extracted 40 pounds of
honey. Again on the 9th, just three
weeks from the time the swarm began
work, we took 80 pounds more. As each
frame had about 5000 cells on each side,
the % would contain 1853, 900. The av-
erage thickness Of the comb was seven
eights of an inch, so that If the entire
number Of cells could bave been drawn
out into one long one, it would measure
l47, 1000 inches, l2,250 feet, or little
over 2 miles in length, and would have
been built at the rate of about 583 feet
per day Santa Ana Standard.

Bishop Williams. of Connecticut. is
celebrated as reconteur. He tells Of a
Canadian lady who for years lived un-
happily With her husband. The man
was q good, easy-going fellow, but his
wife's temper was ungovernable, and at
length drove him to premature grave.
At his death the wife seemed to feel
great remorse for the past. and mourning
and constant weeping bore testimony
of her grief. Some months after
the funeral she went to spiritualistic
medium and was placed in communion
tion with the spirit OF her departed
spouse. A long conversation followed.
during which she asked: ''Ars you
happy now, dear husband?" "Oh, very
happy" he answered. "Happier than
you were in this world?" she asked. "a
thousand times" was the reply. II am
so glad, she said, ''and where are you,
darling!" "Oh, I'm in h-l," came the
reply.

A CAvlNG MINE.
A Pennsylvania ia Ceal Mi.e settles
six Feet.

Elk Eeets
WILKEsBARRE. Pa, Sept 5.-The En-
terprise Mine at Port Bowkeley, owned
and operated by Andrew Langdon, Of
Buffalo, was this morning the scene Of
the most extensive cavo which has
occurred in this region for years. Near
II one hundred acres OF ground settled
from four to six feet. The Lehigh Val
ley railroad track sunk five feet and
traffic was stopped for several hours.
The air of the mine was driven out with
the violence Of an explosion, and the
ground is covered with seams and cracks
for several hundred feet, and five houses
belonging to miners were wrecked. The
mine e ruined and is now full Of gas.
Water from tile river and from
abandoned works near the mine
Is pouring through the tissures in
ground. The mules in the mine were
saved. Five hundred persons are thrown
out OF employment. One Of the owners
Of the mine refused $500. 0c0 last week
for his interest in the mine. The second
fall took place at the Eaterprise mine
cave this evening. which now embraces
fully 200 acres, extending from the Sus-
quehanna river up hill to the fan house
Of the mine. The fall Of rocks this even
ING was enormous. Before q Il the mules
could be rescued six were killed. Even
Il the mine is not flooded, it will be q
year before it can be put in working or
der again. The loss will reach fully
4500. 600.

ception given in their honor at the

ent the previous day. In the economic
science session lady visitors were not ad-
mitted. Ia some Of the sections, black
boards were conspicuous, but iliustra-
tions and designs were almost every
where. The chemistry section was pc
cnliar for its collection Of Jars and in
struments. The discussions and speeches
developed no matter Of special interest
beyond professional circles. John Bid
duipp Martin, Of London, England, read
a paper on the future OF the United
States. His main point was embraced
in a query as to ths means by which the
enormous population Of the future. which
the rapid occupation Of our soil fore
shsdowed, is to be fed. He contended
that Great Britain would long supply
the market for cheap American food
products; that rs result, railway build
ing would have large accession of bona
fids railway securities. That the ulti.
mate abolition Of the national
debt would create q fall in the
rate Of interest which would be
seriously felt by those depending on fix
cd incomes and further result in lower
wages and prices generally, that the con-
.finuance OF large national income
from customs duties and imports would
nake Q necessary this abolition aud final.
Nv that with the increase Of population
and the diffusion Of wealthy individual
fortunes, there would be less easily
made and less opportunity given for ei-
gantic operations in produce or stocks.
In the section OF geology and geography
the most interesting subject was the rel
.ative level Of the Atlantic ocean and the
Gulf Of Mexico, and remarks on the
gulf stream and deep temperature.
