rhe PhilOmela Concert.
"a gem of a concert" is the report
of a local musician on the PhilOmela
concert, Tuesday evening =f s.sv pro-
graz; was short, too short in fact, but
admirably arranged and presented a
good variety of selections. While the
quartette has no single voice of phe-
nomenal power, all are good and, togeth
er, are well-balanced and harmonious
whole. The audience showed their
appreciation by encoring every num-
Der and after one selection the Philo-
melas were twice recalled. Mr.. George
j. Parker, tenor, was q stranger to St.
Johnsbury and made an excellent i'm
preston, indeed, it is the opinion of
many that he is the best tenor that has
appeared during the course. The con-
cert gave general satisfaction all round
and was thoroughly enjoyed.
Bruce Next.
From slave to senator is quite a step
and the fact that B. X. Bruce, the next
lecturer in the Y. M. G.. A. course, has
taken that step will doubtless serve to
attract large audience at his lecture
next Tuesday evening. Mr. Bruce, for
six years, was United States senator
from Mississippi, and for four years,
register of the treasury. If any of our
readers are fortunate enough to have a
United States bank note of not too re-
cent date, they will find specimen of
Mr.. Bruce's hand writing Oh the lower
left hand corner. His subject Tues
day evening will be "The race prob
lem" He was esteemed an able and
eloquent debater in the senate and a
profound thinker.
C. G. Coffin will give the last lecture
sometime in March.

A Pleasant Occasion.

A Pleasant Occasion.
The fifteenth wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen = Hastings,
of Waterford, occurred on the four
teenth, and on last Saturday evening
about seventyfive of their friends, in
Guiding twenty from Caledonia lodge
Odd Fellows, assembled at their house
to celebrate the occasion. They were
all very warmly welcomed, and later
on in the evening the bountiful sup
per served showed the generous hOspi-
tality always extended to friends who
come within their doors. 1t was a
most merry evening and all present
seemed to catch the spirit of welcome
which was so apparent and went in for
a good time, and had it. Mr.. Hast
ings very feelingly thanked Caledonia
lodge for tokens of friendship which
was presented. At about II o'clock
the party dispersed, twenty of whom
took passage in Bryant's barge and in
spite of the rain had jolly ride home,
wishing there was more of the milk Of
human kindness in the world.

Draining Enormous Marshes.

Few peop'e are probably aware of tho
great engineering undertaking in which
Russia has been engaged for years,
draining the Pinsk marshes. These are
SO extensive as 10 secure special desiga

being, we believe, the only case of the
kind, aud in point of the area are very
much larger than Ireland Situated on
the Russo-Polish confines they have be-
come famous in Russian history as a
refuge for all manner of romantic char
actcrs, and have remained an irreclaima-
bic wilderness in the midst of pros per-
Gus, corn growing region up within the
last few wears. In 1870 the Russian
government first took in hand seriously
the abolition of this wild expanse, which,
owing to being perpetually more or less
submerged and covered with Jungle
growth of forest, prevented not only
communication between the Russian dis
tricts on the other side, but also between
Russia and Austro Germany. Conse
quently large staff of engineering Off
GERS and several thousand troops were
drafted into the region, and these have

Up to the present moment about four
million acres have been reclaimed, thanks
to the several thousand miles of bitches
and of canals so broad as to be naviga-
BILE for barges of several hundred tons
burden. Just now the engineers are
drawing up the programme for 1886,
which comprises the drainage of $50, 900
acres by means of the construction of
1870 miles of bitches and canals. OF the
4, 900, 900 acres already reclaimed, G00,-
600 acres consisted of sheer bog, which
have been converted into good meadow
land, 500, 900 acres of ''forest tangle,"
which have been prepared for timber
purposes by cutting down all the under
wood and thinning the trees, 500, 900
acres of good forest land-forest GASES

inaccessible, but which have been con-
nectcd m5Ie or less with navigable ca
nails and thereby with the dist
markets, and finally 1000, 600 acres
have been thrown open to cultivation,
although only 10000 acres have been
actually occupied up 10 now. Beside
making the canals and bitches the en-.
gineers have built 179 bridges, bored
152 wells from forty feet to eighty feet
deep, and 425 from twenty feet to forty
feet, ana have made. a survey of $4,000
square miles of country hitherto unmap'

STA will have etfaced from the map OF
Europe one of the oldest, toughest bits OF
savage nature of the continent, and a
few years will suffice to render the Pinsk
marshes indistinguishable from the rest
of the cultivated region of the sourcea
of the Dneiper. From an engineering,
geological, and scientific point of view,
the work is one of special interest, and
capable globe trotters, anxious for
novel theme, might do worse than
spend few months amid the fading
Pinsk marshes, describing the changes
in progress. - Engineering.

motto CARVED OVER THE DOORWAY OF THH
HOME OF THE LATE SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE.J
Just above the ancient doorway were tho
letters carved in stone
That had formed the noble motto which
good man called his own.
In the flush Of early manhood, when his soul
with hope was stirred,
He had pondered DER the meaning held with
i'll each simple word.
When the ripened years were added and
the shadows longer grew,
To the watchword he had chosen, none could
ever he more true.
"Think and Thank, a good mans motto!
Think we as the days go by9
So questioned in the silence, but my heart
made no reply,
Think we of the fair sweet blossoms growing
in their lavish way,
With the richness or their color, making
bright the face of day.
Think We of eac:, y essed sunrise coming
with the morning hour;
Think w Of the gorgeous SUNRISE flaming
when the day is DER!
When we see Gods pcres holding with theif
wealth of golden grain,
Do we think whose watch-care sendeth both
the sunshine and the rain?
Wl.cn we soc the lovelight shining in the
faces at the hearth:
When we hear the childish voices ringing
out in happy mirth;
Shall not thought take wing and upward
seek the everlasting throne
Where each grateful spirit layeth its thanks.

A Remarkable Clock.

One of the most remarkable of clocks
has just been constructed in London for
a banking establishment. 1t is on the
twenty four-hour principle, and is nota-
BILE as possessing probably the simplest
method which has yet been resorted to
for indicating time according to the new
enumeration. The clock in question has
only one hand, the long minute hand
and the figures around are placed as
heretofore. Instead, however, of indi.
eating the hours. they indicate the min
utes only, which are marked from five
to sixty. The hours are shown on sunk
dial revolving under the upper dial, a
space being left in the upper dial in
which the next hour figure comes forward
instantaneously upon the minute hand,
completing its circuit of sixty minutes
that is, in word, the solitary hand
makes the minute, and the sunk space
shows the hour.

One OF the most important filings for sus-

Old Clothes Made New,

The time of looking over partly worn
clothes, with view TO renovating them
30 that they will have a semblance of
their former freshness, is an anxious one
for the busy woman who is forced by the
state OF her purse to turn to account
every available piece of material.

can be made to take on freshness
which any one not versed in the art of
restoration would not believe possible.
BY laying in a good stock of patience
and perseverance, and taking for a mot
to the cheering assurance that 'there is
nothing so old that it cannot be made to
look BETTER" wonders may be accom-
plished by means of careful cleansing,
judicous dyeing and persistent steam
ing,
The first thing 10 be done to gar
ment that is to be made over is to rip it
to pieces, pick out all the threads, and
brush it thoroughly. If you know just
how it is to be made again, select only
the pieces needed, so as not to waste any
unnecessary labor in cleansing what will
not be used.
If the material is wooden, but little
worn, and not much, if any, soiled, a
good brushing and pressing are all that
will be needed. Pin the pieces on an
ironing table, and brush thoroughly, first
across the goods, then lengthwise.
If the gathers and wrinkles to be
pressed out are few and not deeply made,
but little moisture need be used. Wiring
cloth out of cleon water until it is
entirely drained spread it over the
goods and iron over the cloth until it is
perfectly dry. Wiring out the cloth
again. and go over all the goods in the
same way. When one piece must be
moistened and pressed, it is necessary
that all the rest should receive the same
treatment.
