Both were the faces of considerable men.
SCOTS had character of rustcity Words.
uUrths was a face which did not assign
itself to any cless. 1t was a hardy, weather.
beaten cd face, which might have belonged
to a nobieman, a yeoman mariner or u
philosopher. for there was so much of a man
that you lost sight of superadded distinc-
tons For my own part, l should not.
Judging by his face, have guessed HIM to b.
a poet. To my eyes there was more OF
strength than refinement. Perhaps what
was wanting was only physical refinement.

K (2AS2-A ~ Decided after many
PRAYERS hat it would be the best
10 leave our old New Englani home and
seek the wondrJuS wet
And after we made w our minis, it really
seemed tom,
That every stone Oh the old farm looked
up reproachfulIy:
Our loving anl our grieving, one little
gravA the tears
In tender eyes, the friend ships of the long
IN happy years
Mountain and stream AMI valley seemed tc
stretch OBTAINING hands,
Striving to hold Us tuere upon the rocky,
barren land;
But we were young and hope was strong,
and lie had but begun,
So we turned our eyes right bravely out
towards the setting sun.
Twas a lon. and weary journey. but we'd
been brought up 10 take
Troubles with a patient spirit, and l know
we did not make
Half tne Idle, weak complaining that they
do to-day, who are
Whirled around the world reclining in h
special palace car
We reached the little clearing where the
low log cabin stool,
In the early days of April when the year
was IN the bul
A lonely looking place it was but yet we
tried to see,
Through all its dreary wi.dness, the beauty
yet TO be.
We took our work w gladly, there is no
ned to tell
There Is no carly settler but knows the
story we'll;
And while | worle in wood AMI field
through the long summer day.,
Wife did her pare aside the house. anG
YOU know won ms wayi,
Not satisfied with duty done arounl the
little home,
She planted with her tired bands the tiny
seeds of loom,
Aud in the summer ended the gay mas
tar5iols grew,
And morning glories shook their bells O.
purple pink and blue.
Twas jus. sigh to feel tle soul, for ang
man viii OWE,
As man, OF any ear,hIy good, can't live by
brell alon,.
And Mary in the doorway in the early
morning light
With the poses shining rounl her was a
heart uplifting sight.
The Indilns they were plenty. We saw
them every day,

rods away.
And often at the open door some bead
bel.z,nad brave
Would stop and ask for bread or meat
which Mary always gave
The winter set in early; we had heard such
pretty stories
or the far Wisconsin autumns with tn sir
Indian summer gloreS;
But this year by October every single leaf
had flown,
The snow lay white upon the ground and
the ground was ike a stone.
And trouble never singly comes, il only
opens wi1s
The door for others that twoild seem, were
waiting just outside.
IT'S said they come to Us sometimes in
swee5 deceptive gui'eS,
But ours cams quite boldly-all sorts and
shapes and Sis
The CROPS were just a failure. We'd lost
some stCc';, and then
The ague came down on u like a troop of
armed men;
1t acte jus: as though it had a claim upon
the farm:
1t SHOOK the courage from nv heart, the
vigor from my arm.
And when Thank giving came to us, the
day wo'I held 81 dear,
The storm was raging through the woods,
the world was deadly drear
There was leanness il the arIer, the wood
pile sadly low;
Pain he'd me in its strong embrace and
wouli not let ME 60.

Where False Teeth Come From.

A correspondent of The 81. James's
Gazette writes the following: Apropos
of your article IN body-snatchers, and
the statement that it was even worth
their while "to rifle a grave for the
sake of the teeth" l remember a dent
list who made q large fortune by his
practice telling me a very curious an
ecdote. He said sixty or seventy years
ago, before artificial material was used
for teeth, it was often difficult and al
ways expensive to obtain teeth. One
night a huge ill-favored fellow called
at his office, and offered him a very
considerable quantity of teeth, and
named his price. The bargain was
struck, and the fellow told the dentist
how he got them. He had pretended that
his wife was dead, and went with tears
in his eyes to a city church and saw
the sexton, and asked him about the
place she could occupy in the vault,
and learned the scale of charges. He
was shown over the vault, and while in
it he stood with his back toward the
small door leading into the church
yard. by which door the bodies were
brought in. He managed to undo the
bolt, and the same night he entered by
that very door and ransacked every
coffin, thus obtaining the large supply
of teeth my friend purchased.

The Millennium.

Step by step, irresistably has the
Golden Age advanced. Now thrown
ages back and almost a hope foregone,
it has again advanced, at one stride
not only regaining its lost ground, but
penetrating INTO regions before bur
doubt and conjecture, the hand of
Omnipotence yisably leading onward.
Its grandest step forward was made
in the ivention of the printing press.
resulting in the learning of the minds
of the world, and the great Renaissan-
ce in literature. The discovery of gun.
powder of old and dynamite of to-day.
paradoxical as it may seem, helped
and still helps the good cause forward,
by enabling the devil to get through
with his work the sooner!! In a few
more years with our present advance
ment In the science of killing, it will
become positively dangerous to 60 to
war, and people will learn to stay at
home and let their would be rulers
fight out their own battles: which will
put an end to war! Another grand adj
vance was made in Franklin's discov-
cry of the nature of electricity, result
ing as is well known in the invention
of the electrical battery, the telegraph,
the telephone and wonders yet unknow,
and even not surmised. Another adj
vance was in Watts invention of the
steam engine and its application to the
steamboat. the steamship, the railroad
and many other steam motors likewise
resultapts therefrom. Indeed in the
application of steam to our printing
! presses, enabling II great Hoe presse.

Parasites in Domestic Fowls.

On dissecting a fowl which had died
from sickness, Thomas Taylor, M. D.,
of the department of agriculture,
found reddish markings on the RIB
muscles and the lungs, which under
the microscope were seen to consist of
numerous mites, closely resembling
Cytoteichus s%arcoptoides (Megnin,) a
species not hitherto reported in Amer
lea. When the skin was removed from
another fowl, great numbers of small,
white, opaque specks were seen in the
cellular tissue, and by means of the
microscope mites were found, of the
species Laaninosioptes galinoruns (Meg.
nin). The Opaque specks were of a
%calcareous substance, and many con-
tanned the remains of one or more of
these mites. In the same fowl DR..
Taylor found thousands of encysted
nematoids, resembling. under a micro
scope of low power, 1'rtchina spiralts,
but under a power of about five hun.
dred dlameters they seemed to be of
an undescribed species. A third fowl
also contained mites Of the species
qallinornm. DR.. Taylor deems it proba-
bic that a considerable amount of dis
ease prevailing among American do.
nestle fowls, and not referable to any
known type may be due to such para.
sites. He suggested that carbolic acid,
or other disinfectants, sprinkled about
henneries might prove useful as an
antidote to these, and to external para.
sites.-Fopula7 Science Monthly.

microscopic cells should be tenn
porarfly deprived of their normal sup
ply Of oxygen through the vascular
system; or, on the other hand, q slight
increase in the supply of the proper
nutriment or stimulus may cause the
same results. A simple loss of equi-
libriun, Oh change of tension in the
nerve cell, may aus delirium. These
abnormal physical conditions may be
temporary or:permanent, but in either
case they will probably, in the future
as in the past, elude the most careful
observation of the physician, the chem
ist, and the microscopic. Science has
calculated the vibrations of the music
al chord, and measured the oscillations
of a ray of light, but has not estimated
the vibrations of the living intellectual
nerve cell, nor analysed its aura which
waits necessarily and instantly upon
its will. 1t has furnished no means,
therefore, of determining mathematics
ally when the mysterious organ of the
mind is out of tune, or why its notes
are discordant.-Dr. Frank II. Hamil-
ton IN Popular Science Monthig.

Walks and Talks on the Farm.

/ have not had a single case of goitre
in lambs for many years. I do not
know that there is any cure for it. l
am inclined to think it is the result
largely of general debility, caused in
many cases by keeping the sheep in
close, damp cellars or barns. A
French book on sheep says it is caused
by the "humidity of the habitations."
In the management of sheep there is
no one point of greater Importance
than fresh air, and a dry place to lie
down. Too much damp straw under
foot is specially Objectionable. Sheep
like a little clean straw scattered on
the shed every day. Stir up the soiled
bedding and then spread evenly half
an inch or so of fresh straw on top.
The sheep will lie down and you will
see how much they will enjoy it.
Landing time, if everything goes
we'll, is Of special interest and pleas
ure, but if things go wrong the shop
herd will need all his patience and ex-
perience. l have been through it all,
and I wish l could drop a hint that
would be useful, but hardly know what
to say. There is n thing to be espe-
cially guarded against, and that is i'm
patience. In valuable tlocks of sheep,
of course the owner or shepherd will
rarely let one, two or three hours go
past without seeing that his attendance
is not required. He will want to be
on hand, but as rule the less he does,
except at a critical moment, the bet
ter. Forethought, due preparation,
constant watchfnlness, and a mastery
inactivity, combined with intelligent
promptness, are the desirable requi-
sites. We frequently ..slop'' our ewes
after Landing, just as we do COWS.

two pounds of the mixture to each

ty of roots, Stops are not needed, but

Tea-Drlnking in Russia.

The Russians, in their anxiety to
diminish the consumption of spirits,
are proposing to reduce the duty on
beer, and are vehemently opposing
tho recent proposal of the Russian
minister of finance to raise the import
duty On tea. The Moscow Gazette ridi-
cules the idea that tea should be re-
garded as an article de luxe in Russia,
where even among the poorest classes
tea is the only beverage that both
ave the people from the evil effects
of drinking impure water and greatly
reduces the consumption of alcoholic
drinks. 1t is pointed out that if the
duty is raised smuggling will be car
ried on to a much greater extent, and
public health will suffer by adultera-
ton. In support of its statement that
tea is The chief drink among all classes
in Russia. the MoscoW Gazette pub
fishes statistics furnished by experts
engaged in the tea trade with China,
according to which Russia consumes
80 per cen more tea than England

Mental Disorders.

Medical men, whether they be
specialists in the study of mental dis
eases or not, in the differentiation of
the class of diseases now under con-
%sideration, labor under peculiar diff
culties. There are many mental disor-
ders which are unaccompanied with
any recognizable abnormal physical
conditions of the brain; that is to say,
in which there r no structural les
ions of the brain cognizable during
life. or which a be satisfactorily de-
monstrated in the autopsy; and there
are many in which the mental aliena-
ton can not be fairly traced to any
LESSONS in any other part of the body.
The number of these examples may
hereafter be found to be smaller than
is now known, but tor the present the
fact is as | have stated. That a func-
tional disturbance of the brain exists
in such is self-eyident; but for aught
we know this may be due to some
slight molecular, chemical, or vital
changes in the nerve cells Of the gray
matter of the brain or of a group Of
cells, not denoted by any peculiar
physical signs during life, and which
can leave no possible traces after
death. To cause mental arrangement
it may be only necessary that these
