A EulOgy on Silk,

Silk is an agreeable and healthy
article Used in dress, it retains the
electricity of our bodies; in the drap-
cry ofourrooms and furniture-covers
it reflects the sunbeams, giving them
o quicker brlliancy, and it heightens
colors with a charming light. 1t
possesses an element of cheerfulness,
of which the dull services OF wool are
destitute. 1t also promotes clean
illness, and will not readily imbibe
dirt, and does not harbor vermin as
kindly as wool does. Its continually
growing use by man, accordingly, is
beneficial in many ways. Grace and
beauty, even, owe something to silk.
You cannot stiffen it like wooden or
linen without destroying all it's gloss
and value. The more silk ribbons,
therefore-the more silk kerchiefs
and robes are used instead OF linen
and wool-the more graceful becomes
the outward aspect of mankind. A
number of strange, grotespue fash
ions originating in the use of linen
would never have been invented
during the more general employment
OF silk. The futtering of ribbon, the
rustling and flowing skirts of silk,
the silk kerchief loosely knotted
round the neck, have materially con-
tributed to make or customs more
natural and pleasing to the eye.-Ex-
change.

Some very interesting observations
have lately been made by q physician
to the German dispensary, Now York.
He selected for the purpose OF study n
number OF artliicially nourished infants.
and fed them after the various popular
methods. Between one and two hours
after they had taken food he introduced
stomach tube, and drew ont sufficient
of the contents of that organ for analy-
sis. In That way he was able to mako
correct estimates OF the value of the
different foods. The conclusions de-
rived from these investigations, of great
interest to parents, are: Q) Infants
deprived OF human breast milk should
be fed, first OF all, with cows milk. di-
luted CD Enthusiastically fed should
not DO fed every two hours, for the rea
son that more thnn that time, MS n rule,
is necessary to digest the food given.
Herein is furnished the hest of evidence
that infants, even in the earliest days
of life. ought not to be fed oftener than
once in three hours. Herald of Health.

A Terrible Superstition,

A correspondent of Notes and
Queries sends the following extract
from a letter received the 18th of
June from an English merchant at
Pernambuco in Brazil: There has
been quite n reign of terror here dur
ing past fortnight, owing to the dis
appearance of about dozen children,
who have, it is said, been kidnapped,
some say to be trained for the circus,
Others to be killed for the benefit of
sufferers from leprosy, for which dis
ease there is no cure, but an old super
sutton is that cure may be obtained
il the persons attacked eat the inter-
nal organs of II young, healthy child,
wash themselves with it's blood, and
make grease OF it's sbody for anoint-
ing their bodies. Whether there is
any truth in the presumed connec-
ton between this belief and the dis
appearance of the children | cannot
tell: any way, report says there is
the demand, and that the price paid
for a child is SO. Itseems really too
horrible to be true; anyway, a panic
exists, and hardly any children are
now seen out, and the public schools
have been almost deserted. Some
people who were supposed to have
bought some children had their car
riage stopped in the street and were
stoned. Our children now go out
for their walks attended by two SER
wants. st James's Gazette.

INDIAN SUMNER.

just after the death OF the flowers
And before they are buried in snow.
There comes n festive season,
When Nature is all aglow-
Aglow with a mystic splcndor
That rivals the beauty of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which iair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
That borrows its magical dyes
And NANTES the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
Thesun from his cloud pillowed chamber
Smiles soft on vision SO gay,
And dreams that his favorite children
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
o. beautiful Indian Summer
Thou favorite child OF the year,
Though darling whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dearl
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of Ma
ture.
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Dost though lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest word-wenry spirit
Sweet dreams of it's childhood once more;
Thy loneliness fills us with memories
OF all that was brightness and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
ioretaste OF heavenly rest.
