WHAT a wonderful order there is
in all human labor! While the hus-
bandman burrows his land and pre-
pares for every one his daily bread,
the town artisan far away weaves the
stuff in which he is to be clothed; the
miner seeks under ground the iron
for his pillow; the soldier defends him
against the invader; the Judge takes
care that the law protects his fields;
the merchant occupies himself in ex-
changing his products with those of
distant countries; the men of art and
science add every day few horses
to this ideal team, which draws along
the material world as steam impels
the gigantic trains of our iron roads.
THE knowledge of courtesy and
good manners is very necessary

that which begets liking and an in
clisation to love one another at first
sight, and in the beginning OF an &C.

quently that which opens the door,
and induces us to better ourselves by

anything liz the society worth taking

A LAUGH can be a very holy thing,
or the hatefulest thing beneath the
sun; a ripple of praise to God and
love to man, or a growl of defiance,
spasm of mortal hatred. 1t can be
the sparkle of Gods countenance
upon the breast, as the green fields
shine in the broad beams when the
sky is blue. 1t can be an idotic grin.

BUCK GRANTS SAD STORY.
Another Chapter In Esis Narrative of
the Affairs of His Late Firm.

New YORK, Jan, ST ere was a
further hearing to day before The
referee on the application Of Jerome
B. Chaffee, Buck Grants father in !
law, to determine the title to securi-
ties to the amount Of $500, 600, placed
in the hands of the younger Grant,
and by him turned over to the firm Of
Grant Sc Ward, The examination of
U. S. Grant, Jr., was resumed. He
had decided to make an assignment.
but tried to get back the securities in
question TO put them into the general
fund of the estate and then make an
assignment. The securities were Sc
cured before the assignment, and then
the witness quietly held them and
waited until Davies made his demand,
when the witness surrendered the keys
of the safe and box. Witness had,
one or two months ago, received and
corrected the contract account receiv-
ed from Ward since the assignment,
and witness had corrected and return
ed the same. On that account were
new erasures of the amounts of checks
paid Chaffee. Everything in the ac-
dinand Ward. Witness had never
known of any government contract or
OF any direct dealings with the gov
eminent. Witness saw Ward the day
after the failure and asked him about
affairs. Wards nerves were unstrung
and he great deal Ward said he
had been very &. eat rascal; that he
had robbed every member of the
family; that no had robbed them
totally, and he humbly admitted it.
Il told him in reply" said the wit
ness, that he was a scoundrel, and
the most he could do would be to tell
the truth. He took Chaffee's funds as
late as November, because he would
have failed then if he had not. The
witness had no idea of the magnitude
of the so called governments contracts
entil after the failure. Up TO the day
of the failure he believed the firm was
rich. He had looked over the sur
plus, which was large, and his person
al ascount was a good one. Fish,
Grant and Ward were the first mem
bers. Witness put in 500, 600 cash,
and supposed Ward and Fish did, but
since he found that Ward put up
worthless securities, and Fish put in
the notes of Ward. Monthly state
ments of profits were made out by
Ward and handed to the members of
the firm. Witness supposed his part
was to find business, but soon found
it reduced to doing nothing. General
Grant seldom came to the Offices, but
once q month would ask how we
were getting along Ward was the
man who acted for the firm.

Women FOR Business.

What women need to make them
business-like is to be brought into
contact with business, to hear it talk
ed about. to be expected to manage
their small affairs in a business way.
The farmer gives his little boy calf
and his little girl lamb, and accus-
toms them not merely to the care of
the animal, but to note its market
value and the changes in that value
at different times. So, it seems to me,
every business man should put into
the hands of his daughters some small
piece of property, q railroad share for
instance, and teach her to observe its
fluctuations in value and ask their
cause; and to learn by personal expe-
rience the difference hetween princi-
pal and interest.
once heard Mrs. +. d. Cheney say
that her father did this for his daugh-
tiers, but | never heard of any other
instance. 1t ought to be a very com
mon thing. If girls are to be rich they
need this kind of knowledge; if poor,
they need it still more. Il will not in
terfere with the ideal side of the ma
ture; poets and artists, as far as have
seen, ave as practical as other people
but it will prevent that hopeless de
pendence for the simplest business
matter upon the nearest man which
so often make cultivated women the
objects either of pity or of fraud

proved that sugar syrup answered the
same end as with honey. Giving an
imprisoned swarm an abundance OF
fruit and bee-bread, he found that
they su bsisted upon the fruit, but re-
fused to touch the pollen; and that
no combs were constructed, nor any
wax scales formed in their pouches.
Langstroth says Notwithstanding
Heuber's extreme caution and I'M
wearied patience in conducting these
experiments, he did not discover the
whole truth on this important subject.
Though he demonstrated that bees
can construct comb from honey or
sugar, without the aid of bee-bred,
and that they can make it from bee
bread, without honey or sugar, he did
not prove that when permanently de-
rived of bee-bread they can continue TO
work in wax, or if they can, that the
pollen does aid in its elaboration.
Some bee-bread is always found in
the stomach of wax producing work
ers, and they never build comb so
rapidly as when they have free access
to this article. 1t must, therefore,
either furnish some of the elements OF
wax or in some way assist in produ-
cling it.

Homework for the Boys.

The following good suggestions are
given by a writer in the New England
Farmer:
81 have often wondered why moth
ers do not more generally teach their
boys to do hcusework, and thus in
many cases secure the best Of help.
One of the saddcst Of the many sad
sights in this world, is that of a poor,
wearied, over worked mother, shaving
herself to death to wait upon her
boys, who are sitting around in her
way or learning the ways of evil on
the street, when they might and
should be her efficient helpers. The
larger the family the more help she
ought TO have. Even ia families
where there are girls, the domestic
education of the boys should not be
omitted, unless, as is the case Of most
farmers homes, there is plenty OF
work outside for them 10 do.
The scarcity of good help is one of
the standing complaints of civilized
life. If the children-boys as we'll as
airls-were systematically trained to
dc homework, as they should be, this
difficulty would soon be 4obviated.
Besides the present help, such train
ing would be of the greatest adyan-
tage to them when they have homes
of their own. / do not believe that
any one ever had reason TO regret the
possession of a thorough knowledge
of homework.

he Health Giving Glow"

A most healthful and invigoratin q
practice, that costs nothing but a
tride of resoluteness and due care to
modify the dose according to the vital
force of the individual, consists in
going into the pure cold air In the
morning before breakfast, inhaling
freely and exhaliHg slowly and forci-
bly,. so as to fill and rinse every cell
of the lungs. Then rinse the millions
of pores of the skin by way of secur
ing then full and proper action.
This is done by exposing the whole
skin to chill, by going out lightly
clothed, or, without going out, expos
ing the barred skin to bath of chill
air or water
The reaction from this brief expos
ure is what drives out through all the
countless skin pores the clogging
particles that make up the
waste which must pass off by the
skin to preserve health and glow and
hearty feeling. The effect of this
opening OF the skin pores is immedi-
ately felt, If the reaciive flow takes
place, and is delightfully."- agreeable.
The body feels warm and light; the
spirits rise, everything seems easy and
bright and soon the appetite feels the
freshening effect and breakfast is en-
ioyed. A Turkish towel helps to start
the flood of reaction indoors, and some
active str soon brings it on out of
doors.
Those already enfeebled by illness
or mere confinement must take care
to make the chill so light or brief as
not TO lose the essential and necessary
reaction on which all depends. All
sedentary persons should make it a
rule to develop this health giving
glow at least twice a day, at going to
bed, and at rising. p. IT,, in N. Y.

Prices in 1884.
New York Tribune.

During the year there has been a
great decrease in prices. The sales OF
the same quantities of products, there
fore, have been represented by smaller
payments made Ihroagh the banks.
Frem the beginning to the end of the
year, the fall IN prices has been apout
94 per cent, but it is not possible to
calculate precisely how the average of
prices through the year compares with
the average for the year previous.
Wheat has declined little over %
cents a bushel, corn over Is cents.
oats about cents, oil about 40 cents
a barrel, lard over 2 cents pound,
coffee 81 cents a pound, and poor re
fined sugar Ii cents. No record of the
total transactions in grain or provis-
ions is kept at the Produce Exchange.
but the volume of speculative business
has been enormous, as is indicated by
the fact that nearly $27, 900, 900 has
been deposited ON option contracts.
In the Oil Exchange the volumes of
business has vastly increased, the sales
are reported as amounting 10 nearly
2,400, 600, 900 barrels, in the Cotton
Exchange the sales including future
contracts. exceeded $4,000, 600 bales,
against %, 500, 900 bales in 1888. At
the Coffee Exchange the sales aegre-
gated z. 379, 600 bags, against z, 522, GEO
bags in 1888. Those figures indicate
that the shrinkage in the volume of
business measured in quantities can
not have been very large. The change
was mainly in the prices of products
bought and sold.

DO Bees Make Honey!

The popular impression is that they
do; yet, like many popular notions, 1t
is wrong. Bees only gather honey;
they find the honey ready made IN
the flowers and gather it in their tiny
honey sacks, and when they return to
the hive they eject it from their sacks
into their cells, and hurry back to the
field for another load The honey as
found in the flower is usually rather
thin and watery; it is unripe and IN
that state would sour aud become unfit
both for the bees as well as for man.
The bees understand their business,
and know Just how to dispose of the
excess of water and when they evapor.
ate the excess they seal it. When the
bees place their seal upon cell OF
honey you may rest assured 1t is all
right.
Bees.wax is a product by the bees.
1t is a secretion from the bees and
may be called their oil or fat. When

You eau always tell boy whose
