rne solemn student.

A comical story has just been
told the public about Munichs
student life.
A certain learned professor had
classes at the university in that
city and the number OF his pupils
by degrees grew smaller.
Week in, week out, the quorum
melted; and do what the profes-
sor could, the number dwindled
and dwindled and dwindled still
less.
But one steadfast soul re.
NAMED. The other students might
run away; but this searcher after
truth, and nothing but the truth,
remained.
In the course of time, too,
though all the rest Of the young
undergraduates disappeared, the
solitary worker remained, and
tbs worthy professor lectured on
in the sure and certain and com.
sortable hope that he would a,
least turn out one applicant fol
examination and honors who mus
do credit to the extensive COURSE
Of lectures delivered.
After the close Of the last lee
ture, the professor, winding up
lovely peroration in the most af
fecting style, publicly alluded t
his one listener, and compliment
ed him upon the depth, the per
severance and the sssiduity OF hi
studies.
After the conclusion OF hi
speech from the rostrum h
walked to the student and asket
him what particular line 0
thought on the subject he hA'
taken up.
No answer.
Then the professor mildly an
gently asked the name OF th
student.
No answer again.
With a fine rhetorical houris
the professor, thinking his your
friend bashful, determined to re
quest the student to throw asid
all mo1esty, and make sure-a
he had been SO attentive-of wir
ming his degree.
Then the student turned to th
mentor, and wrote down in boil

The Mosquitoes Machinery.

A writer in The London sportsman
thus describes mosquito as seen
under a microscope: 1t appears that
in the "biQ" of the little beast alone
there are no fewer than five distinct
surgical instruments. These are des-
cnbed as a lance. two neat saws, a
suction pump, and a small Corliss
engine. 1t appears that when a
''skeeter' settles down to his work
upon a nice tender portion of the
human frame the lance is first pushed
into the flesh, then the two saws,
placed back to back. begin to work
up and down to enlarge the hole,
then the pump is inserted, and the
victims blood is siphoned up to the
reservoirs carried behind, and finally,
to complete the cruelty of the per-
Torrance, the wretch drops quantity
of poison into the wound to keep Il
irritated. Then the diminutive fend
takes fly around just to digest your
gore, and makes tracks for a fresh
victim, or if the first has been Of un-
usual good quality he returns to the
same happy hunting ground. The
mosquitoes marvellous energy, com
bined with his portable operating
chest, makes hin at once a terror and
a pest.

Receipt For Brine.

The best receipt for making brine
for curing pork or beef is to add
enough salt to boiling water until the
brine is strong enough TO float a
medium sized potato; or pork may be
packed in barrel with three inches
of salt between each layer of meat,
and three inches on top Of salt, and
all the space between also filed with
salt, and hard water poured in until
it shows itself above the meat. There
is no danger in having too much salt
in packing pork. For hams and
shoulder use six pounds of salt, two
ounces of saltoetre, and two quarts of
molasses, or five pounds of sugar for
100 pounds of meat. The meat may
either be packed in this mixture,
sprinkling some of it on the bottom
of the case and between the meat and
adding water until the mass is cover
ed, or it may be rubbed on the flesh
side and the meat piled up snugly to-
gether. The mixture should be diyid-
ed into three quantities and rubbed in
at intervals of three days. Where
hams are to be kept long time be
fore using, two pounds more OF salt
to the 100 pounds should be added,
with the same quantity of sugar, salt,
saltpetre, etc. For curing bacon use
six pounds of saltpetre and molasses
as above, and rub in on the flesh side.
The whole to be well smoked.

Moral Influence of Cooking.

Sayory dishes, serving to vary the
monotony of the poor mans ordinary
fare, afford considerable moral as well
as physical advantage. An exper-
fence of my own will illustrate.

Kyolen ford, struggling on for

BigOtry in Real Estate.
London Truth,

Even in tAis enlightened nine
teenth century, one frequently comes
across cases of religious intolerance
which would have disgraced the dark
ages. A Mr.. Daniel, of Stordeleigh
court, Tverton, recently advertised a
farm to be let. The highest bidder
was Mr.. Yendell, and it was agl eed
that he should lease. the farm. Before
the lease was signed, however, he was
asked If he were a churchman, and
replied that he was a Wesleyan. Sub
he received letter from
Mr.. Daniels agent, saying that Mr..
Daniel had decided not to let him
lease the farm as all his other ten
ants were churchmen, and no excep-
ton could be made can only hope
that Mr. Daniels stupid bigotry will
be rewarded by this and the rest of
his farms being thrown upon his
hands.

Wine From Raisins.

One OF the INDUSTRIES of thrifty
France is the making of wine from
raisins, which is carried ON especially
according to the Revue Scientifque)
at Marseilles, Cette, Bordeaux, and
Bercy. About seventy thousand tons
of raisins are imported into France
from the neighboring high countries
and Syria, costing nearly 81, 500, 900.
BY softening in water, and the addit-
ion of sugar and alcohol, harmless
wine is produced, of which no less
than 100000 hectoliters are made.
Another dodge is to treat the settings,
the radium of the native harvests of
Spain, Portugal, Sicily, ETC., with
sugar, alcohol, and water, and make
from the compound what is called
'second-vat" wines. Thus France,
in spite of the phylloxera, retains her
position as the greatest wine-export-
ing country in the world.

crease of 81 over last year. OF these

In the end as many as 1856 works
were exhibited, and of these 1856
were sent in by outsiders, the mem
bers of the academy being represent
ed by sum total of only 202 works.
This Total included 166 paintings, 90

ed; America, Spain, and Portugal

taking, and France, Italy, Belgium
and Austria are already represented.
The historical department can not fail
to be OF the greatest interest. For the
special student there are many con
siderations that render an exhibition
devoted to one object only really of
greater practical value than the great
world fairs at which every conceiva-
BILE branch of science and art is repre-
scented, and where, with the strongest
desire to limit observation to any owe
branch, the effect is always more or
less bewildering.

Important Points in Tobaceo.cuIture

Experiments in tobacco culture,
conducted on the experimental
grounds of the.New York Agricultural
Station at Geneva, gives results
worthy of consideration. Following
are deductions made from statements
of results contained in the annual re-
ports recently received from the Board
of Control; Earliest plants yielded
about three times as much weight of
cured leaf as the latest ones, and this
difference was practically augmented
by the superior quality of the product
of the early plants. The largest
plants in the seed-bed formed the
earliest plants in the field-a strong
argument in favor of an extensive
plant-bed-which makes it possible
for a practical selection at the outset
by setting only the plants that make
a vigorous start.
Observations made on plants hung
with Irvine and with the spear seem
to indicate that splitting the stalk has
tendency to hasten the drying of
the leaf also, and that the tendency is
to produce thinner leaf, but in the
amount of splitting that is usually
practiced in using tue spear the weight
of the cured leaf is not materially in
huenced. Some growers are of the
opinion that plants harvested imme-
diately after heavy rain yield
lighter proportionate weight of cured
leaf than those harvested during
period of fair weather. Observations
made at the station on this point, in
dictate that this opinion is entirely cor
rect.

Although there are few tongues
that arc not represented in newspaper

published in four languages. AS a
matter of course, English heads the
list, inasmuch as English-spcaking
races have peopled North America

rank second, the French third, and
Spanish fourth; but inasmuch as the
latter tongue is the prevailing one in
Mexico and South America, it is prob
