We frequently sing Of the ''spicy
breezes" which elbow soft DER Ceyion's
Isle" but very small proportion Of the
spices OF the commerce are grown on
that island. Brown nutmegs come
from Penang in the West Indies
They are the best in market and are full
of oil. Most of the nutmegs used have
this oil removed and are then rolled in
lime to cover up their defects. Our best
cloves come also from Penang and are
sun dried; an inferior quality comes
from Zanzibar and are dried by artificial
heat. Pemento or allspice and the best
ginger comes from Jamaica. The latter
is bIeached to make it white Poor
qualities of ginger are from Borneo and
Africa. Cinnamon, which is from Cey.
Ion, is worth one dollar pound There
is but little of this used, and the most
of that called cinnamon is properly cas-
STA, or the outside bark of the cinnamon
tree. The best quality of pepper is call
ed shot" pepper on account of its be
ing in large grains; the second grade is
the article in general use, and both
kinds reach Us from Singapore. The
best red pepper is grown in Natal. while
the common kinds are from Zanzibar
White pepper is simply the kernel with
the SHELL removed. Charcoal, buck
wheat and other substances are used to
aduiterate spices.--Christain at Work.

MARRIAGES IN MExICo.-In Mexico
everybody marries, whether young or
old, rich or poor, handsome or ugly;
whether their marriage portion consists
of good fincas (houses or other real es-
tate), ready ta!egas Ga talegas is 81, O0O),
or of only cuatro piernas al ayre. This
last pharse, which is another proverbial
saying, is a puzzling one TO translate.
Pour legs in the air" is the literal rend-
ering Of it. [ suppose it means people
who bring to each other IN wedlock no
dover save their person, which, indeed,
is the most usual one IN this country.
The reckless Mexicans. like too maUy
people north of the Rio Graude, rush
into matrimony without the slightest care
for the future or beggars they may bring
into the world. If any sober friend, who
has observed the ways of life, should
suggest to 8n ardent young couple how
necessary some little property is to keep
the devil out Of the house, the en- NOR
ADDS Qovers) will only laugh aud answer:
"Dios nos atnnarara" God will help us),
which simply means, in other words:
"We are both young and brimful of pas.
sion, We like each other exceedingly, and
We will do our will, come what may"
In such cases the Deity is seldom ser
iously thought of-City of Mexico

USES OF THE WILIow.-It is An

Uses OF THE Willow. is an in
terestilg fact that hot only is the pre-.
sence of extensive erowths of the willow
found to be anti-maiarial in its influence,
but that from q certain species of this
same beautiful tree, or its bark, is deriv-
ed the comparatively new but well known
sntiseptic preparation called sslicine; it is
of pure, bitter taste, highly febrifugal
in quality, is largely used in various So
lutions, also in surgical operations, and
is the most effectual preventive of pntre
faction in the system yet known. For
these purposes the willow is now being
extensively and Systematically cuitivat-
ed. At the end of two years the switch
es are from four to seven feet long, and
are cut aud gathered into lunches like
sheaves of wheat; in the stripping build
ing they are STEPPED in water and the
bark at the larger ends Ioosened for y
couple of inches by machinery; one by
one the switches are placed in the me-
chancial stripper aud with pair of pliers
are pulled through with sudden jerk,
being then wiped of with a wooden
cloth, bundled, and laid away to dry.
All the leaves ana bark are dried and
baled, the average yield being a ton to
the acre, the willows commanding, when
dry, $500 per ton.-Frauk Leslie's.

GAINING OR LOSING A DAY.-In sail
ing round the world eastward the days
are each little less than twenty four
hours, according to the speed OF the
ship, as the sun is met every morning a
little earlier. These little differences
added together will amount in the course
of circumnavigation to twenty four
hours, giving the sailors an extra day,
not in imagination, but in sober truth,
as they will have actually eaten an extra
days food and consumed an extra days
grog. On the other hand, in sailing
westward, the sun is overtaken q little
each day, and SO each day is rather longer
than twenty four hours, and clocks aud
watches are found to be TOO fast. This
also will amount, in sailing round to the
starting point again, to one whole day,
by which the reckoning has fallen in ar
rear. The eastern ship, then, has gain
ed day and the western ship has lost
one. leading to this apparent paradox,
the former ship has clear gam of two
whole days over the latter, supposing
them to have started and returned to-

Hoard thus explains the most approved
method of packing butter: 'tStop the
churning when the granules are the size
of wheat kernels; have the butter milk
well washed AID fine salt of sufficient
quantity added in the churn. Then give
the churn several turns, throwing the
butter from one side to the other. Let
it remain. say, three to four hours to
drain, and give light working aud pack
Immediately. The surplus brine and
water, TO within Is per cent, should be
gotten rid of in some way, either by
draining or by working. BY both drain
ing and light working, to evenly dis,
tribute the salt, this is accomplished,
and, for butter designed for immediate
use, is sufficient. 1t is point of adYan-
tage to get the butter into the tub or
package as soon rs possible. Some DO
not work at all, but pack directly from
the ehurn after few hours"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Hon. John j.

committee on Indian affairs. Concern
idg the Sioux reservation bill, he says:
Next Tuesday it will be presented to

report. If there is any opposition to the
bill no one knows of it. | believe the
bill will pass without very great discus
sion. i am pleased TO note that Gov.
Ordway is eXerting his great influence
for the measure. / do not believe Sena-
tor Davis will oppose the house bill,
because it is counterpart OF his own,
except in minor matters. The clause
relating 10 the submission of the entire
matter to the Indians for their ratitca-
ton will remain in the bill. NOtwith-
standing the fact that many of our
friends object to the clause. it is, in my
judgment, proper and right" Delegate
Clifford speaks in a similar manner. He
says: Not only as 4 matter of
right, but as matter OF policy the sub
mission clause should remain. we
must remember that the president must
approve and diSapprOve all bills before
they become laws. 1t must not be for
gotten that President Cleveland re-
Yoked an order of his predecessor OPEN
ing a part of the Sioux reservation
without consent of the Indians. We
could not consistently hope that he
would approve bill opening 4 large
portion of the reservation without con-
sent of the Indians. Hence the clause
will remain and should remain in the
bill. and it will become law in a short
time"
