that it is also the cause of that temporary

How TO HAVE A LOVING WIFE.-lf you
would have loving wife, be as gentle in
your words after as before marriage; treat
her as tenderly when a matron as when
miss; don't quite make her the maid of all
work and ask her why she looks less tidy
and neat,than when "yOu first knew her;"
don't buy cheap tough beef, and scold her
because it does not come on the table ''por-
terhouse;" don't grumble about squalling
babies if you cannot keep up a nursery"
and remember that baby may "take after
papa" in his disposition; don't smoke and
chew tobacco, and thus shatter your nerves,
and spoil your temperand make your breath
a nuisance, and then complain that your
wife declines to kiss you; 60 home joyous
and cheerful to your wife, and tell her the.
good news you have heard, and not silent
Iy put on your hat and go out to the ''club"
or "lodge," and let her afterwards learn
that you spent the evening at the opera or
at fancy ball with Mrs. Dash. Love your
wife; be patient; remember you are not
perfect, but try to be; let whisky, tobacco
and vulgar company alone; spend your
evenings with your wife, and live a decent,
Christian life, and your wife will be loving
and true-if you did not marry heartless
beauty, without sense or worth {; if you did
who is to blame if you suffer the conse-
quences?

IF1A HEART FOR THEE Is BEATING.

IF A HEART FOR THEE is BEATING
If heart for thee is beating,
Use it gently, lest it break: 80
Warm and tender be thy greeting, ...
Twill grow fonder for thy sake. ....
Oh in sickness and in sorrow,
Let thy care it's solace be; '..
Then twill all its gladness borrow
From its sun of hope in thee.
Oh! the heart, it is blessing,
In it's freshness and its youth,
Be it thine, mid thy caressing,
To preserve it in its truth. .
'Tis no worldly gem, at pleasure
To be Worn and cast aside, . .....
But firm end priceless treasure,
And more valued when it's tried.
Oh! the heart it is a treasure, o..
That should not be lightly won,
To be thrown aside at pleasure,
When the festive hour. is done.
'Tis jewel, that to cherish,
Should be still thy yconstant boast: .
For when all beside it perish,
Will it's worth be known the most.

PROOF OF DEATH.-If most people are
afraid of fanything, it is of being buried alive.
That cases do happen where it is very diff
cult, even for the experienced physician, to
determine whether person is really or but
apparently dead, without his having re-
course to means which, while they would at
once settle the dispute, would place life, if
it really still existed, in jeopardy, may be
judged from the fact that the French acade-
my, some ten or fifteen years ago, offered
prize of 10000 francs (sS,00W for the discov-
cry of some means by which even the mex
perienced may at once determine whether
in a given case death had ensued or not. A
physician obtained the prize. He had dis
covered the following well-knoWn phenom-
non: If the hand of the suspected person is
held toward the candle or other artificial
light, with the fingers stretched, and one
touching the other, and one looks through
the spaces between the fingers toward the
light, there appears scarlet red color where
the fingers touch each other, due to the still
circulating fluid blood, as it shows itself
through the transparent, not yet congested
tissues; but when life is extinct, this phe-
nomenon at once ceases. The most extern
sive and thorough trials established the
truth of this observation, and the prize was
awarded to its discoverer.-Healthd and Home.

A CURIOUS MoUNTAIN.-Fifteen miles
north of Atlanta, Ga, rises Stone Noun
tain. Though frequently visited by picnic
parties from that section, it isas not general
ly known as its grandeur merits. America
boasts many higher mountains, this meas
uring but eleven hundred feet, but has few
showing such remarkable beauties. The
circumference of this mountain at the base
is five miles. For more than one mile it
rises abruptly eight hundred feet, is nearly
four times as high as Bunker Hill monu-
ment, and nearly as straight, then slopes
gradually to the summit. Of course the as
cent from thisside is impossible and on every
side except one is accomplished with great
difficulty. The view from the summit we'll
repays great efforts as in addition to the
usual charms of Southern landscape, one
can readily distinguish Lookout and Ken
nesaW mountains, SO interesting from their
historical association. Stone Mountain is
comprised of a fine, light colored granite.
In some places where exposed to the action
of sun and water it has become striped, hav-
ing the appearance of pieces Of bright car
peting hanging over the precipice. Scat
tered over the mountain are boulders, some
of immense size and worn by water into
curious forms.
The Greeks of old would assign its for
nation to some god or goddess and surround
it with fascinating myth. We moderns
would rather reverently ascribe it to the
one Creator while curiously studying the
means He chose to employ.
No grasses grow on this mountain but its
absence is supplied by a reddish moss found
only in high attitudes. Occasionally a
stunted cedar appears, presenting pecu-
liar appearance. Not only is the trunk
itself twisted by the force of the wind, but
each branch shows an unequal conflict with
unseen forces. At the foot of the noun
tain azalias afford wealth of bloom in
their season. At least seven shades appear
varying from white to deep red. A yellow
variety also abOunds. These, with belt OF
woodland furnish setting worth the beauty
of this jewel.
Stone mountain has given its name to a
village about mile away, where dwellers
in the heated cities may sometimes breathe
pure air. In looking upon so much of beau
ty and grandeur they may find rest for mind
and soul, that rest which an intimate ac-
quaintance with nature always brings.-C0t-
t0Ue Hearth.

in handling; but on men-of-war, having
large crews, single top-sails are the rule.
The head-sails are those which the bow
spirit and the booms it supports carry for
ward. These are the foretopmast stay-sail, ,
the jib and flying jib. Large vessels carry
even more head-sail. The spanker or dri-
yer, as our merchantmen sometimes call it,
is fore-and-aft sail, and is the after sail of a
ship or bark.
A compass being divided into thirty-two
points, sailors consider the horizon at sea as
having an equal number of divisions, and
speak of ship as sailing within five or six
points of the direction the wind is blowing
from.
When the sails of ship are filled with
wind, they are said to be drawing or full.
A good sailor is never so happy as when
with whole-sail breeze he sees all his can
vas spread and drawing, and feels himself
''off before it."--Hdrper's Young People.

THE WORD "DIsCOUNT. 1.-THE word dis
COUNT has almost wholly lost its technical
meaning. Itwas originally used to describe
an allowance made for the payment of mon
ey before it was due, and in this sense it is
as much as that money, if put to interest,
would gain in the same time at the same
rate. Thus 500 present money will pay
debt of $106 due one year hence, the dis
count being made at 6 per cent. The dis
count in this sense, on any sum is less than
its interest. Thus the discount on 500 due
in year hence is Sc, while the interest is
S6.36. But the interest laws Of the several
States have allowed banks to deduct the
interest instead of the discount, and to pay
the borrowers, instead of the present worth,
only the net remainder after such deduction.
Thus if man makes a note for 81 900 for
twelve months, and gives it to a bank for
discount, instead of paying him s943.3O
which is a sum that at per cent. would
amount to 81 900 in year, they give him
S9433O which is sum that at 6 per cent.
would amount to $1,000 in year, they give
him s940, thus charging him more than
per cent. for the sum he receives. In plain
terms, they deduct the interest instead OF
the discount. Out Of this has grown the
modern use of the word discount, which
has simply come to mean deduction OF
given rate from given principal. To dis.
count note at per cent is only to take off
the rate from the face Of the sum.

OLD METHODS OF LIGHTING.-Young
and even mddle-aged people accustomed
to the convenience of The modern lucifer-
match, can hardly imagine the time when
the tinder-boX, with it's clumsy flint and
steel and broad birthstone matches, was the
only means of procuring a light. Some
people were more skilful than others in
striking light and blowing the spark and
match to a flame; but often on Wintry
morning it was weary work with the SER
want who had to kindle the first fire if the
tinder happened to be damp, or worn out,
or the flint and steel sin temper" In
deed, in some houses a rushlight was in
some bedroom or other always burnt, SO
that in case of sudden illness, or any disas-
ter, there might be light ready. The rush
light, having, as its name implies, rush
wick, was about fifteen inches long, and
was burnt in a huge perforated shade; it
was the "farthing rush-light," which very
poor people were said to use for other pur-
poses than night-light. The picture of a
half-starved seamstress in her garret would,
in those days, have been incomplete with
out the thin rush candle; but its flame was
so feeble that l can hardly fancy any eyes
could have served to thread needle by it.

A bather can lie on the surface of the water
of the Great Salt Lake without eXertion; or,
by passing towel underhis knees and hold
ing the two ends, he can remain in any
depth of water kneeling, with the head and
shoulders out of the water; or, by shifting
it under the soles Of the feet, he can sit on
the water. The one eXertion, in fact, is to
keep ones balance; none whatever is re-
quired to keep afoat. The only danger,
therefore, arises from choking by accident
ally swallowing some of the water, for the
strength Of the brine is so intense that the
muscles Of the throat are conVulsed, and
strangulation ensues.-,SuN Lake Herald.

DON'T BE STINGY WITH THE WIFE,
Although wives are often unreasonable and
fault-finding and dissatisfied, yet they can
not be censured for wishing some slight de-
gree of financial independence. Husbands
ought to understand this feeling, and SYM
pathize with it, If they will set aside for a
wife certain sum per month, no matter
how small, and let it be her very own, sub
ject to her own wishes, they will find that
in every respect it is the best investment
they ever made.

SOME SOUTHERN FRUITs.-In Florida
while the orange is king there are varieties
of other fruits that are not only delightful
for home consumption but will bring good
prices in market. Lines and lemons are
among the number. The former are now
ripe, and find the limeade quite as refresh
ing as the lemonade, the lime as useful in
the culinary department as the lemon.
Grapefruit according to my fancy is the
best of the citrus family, natures in four
or five years. There is quite bitter taste,
if eaten like an orange, hence those who
do not wish to have their lips well pucker-
ed, soon learn to remove carefully, every
particle of the white skin covering the ex-
ceedingly juicy pulp, an operation easily
performed. Separate the lobes with a sharp
knife cut down the centre of the broad side,
fold the divisions of the skin back, and
then bite, and, if instructions in preparing
have been implicitly followed, think, or
ders to bite will not have to be repeated. If
the ship that brings my future Florida
fortune is to come by the grapefruit route,
hope my Northern friends will cultivate
a taste for this delightful though little known
fruit, when / think they will agree to place
it a step or two higher in their favor than
the orange. 1t makes beautiful jelly, mar
malade and wine, and is also eaten at the
table with sugar, hence we prize it not only
for it's beauty, but for general utility. 1t
is a very handsome specimen of the citrus
family, being, in color, pale yellow with
very smooth skin and twice as large as our
finest orange, so in eating we find one al
most equal to good meal and very refresh
ing to the inner man.-FIOridd CO1TespOn-

SLEEP, TRANCE AND DEATH.-The re-
lationship between sleep, "the cousin of
DEATH" and death itself, is probably real
as we'll as apparent. The distance which
separates them is great, but there are inter
mediate connections, grades of dissolution
as of ofdevelopment. Among these the SINH
lar states Of trance and Information are
worthy of special notice. For sleep and for
trance one cause, for eXhaustatiOn chiefly of
nervous matter, but more or less of every
organ and tissue, is assignable. The hys-
terical stupor is the sleep Of nerve centres,
worn out with the assault and conflict of
stormy reflex action. Healthy sleep is the
rest of physical elements Wearied with the
same strain applied more gradually. Cases
have been recorded in which somnolence,
continuing for days without cessation, has
resembled trance in its duration, while pre-
serving all the ordinary features of natural
sleep. Various facts support us in associa-
ting the Information of animals with the
same train of organic or functional changes
as the other unconscious states which we
have been considering. 1t comes like a
habit; it has, one may say, annual return,
it's apparent cause is the oppression of eX-
ternal cold, and the animals it affects are
mostly those which, from their bodily struc-
ture or habits, are subject to great periodic
variations of temperature. Vital tissue IS
exhausted, and function is in part suspend
ed, probably because the numbness OF cold
has taken hold upon the radicles of the
outer circulation, and of that part of the
brain surface which is connected with it by

SOMETIIING ABOUT SF11PS.-SaIIIng VeS-
sells carry their square-sails or fore-and-aft
sails. a square-sail is one the head of which
is "bent" or made fast to the jack-stay-an
iron rod on yard. Fore.and-aft sails, in
piled with boom or a gaff, or both. The
lower corners of square sails are called clews.
The fore-sail and main-sail are often called
the courses. Sail is seldom carried on the
cross; jack pronounced krojik) yard, the low
est yard on the mizzenmast.
Thecourses, when "set" are kept down by
means of ropes leading from the clews fore
and aft, called tacks and sheets. Above the
course come the top-sails, about the top
sails, the op-gallant-sails; and next above,
the royals. Some very large ships carry
still loftier sails called sky-sails.
Most merchant ships carry double top
sails, one above the other, for greater case
