The Author Of "Proverbial Philosophy"
who Died Recently.
Martin Farquhar Tupper, who died re-
Gently in England, lived to discover that,
after all, he had only caught the public
attention for the hour. Fifty years ago
he was in love with his cousin, who be-
came his wife, and it occurred to him to
write out his notions on matrimony. 1t
occurred to him to put them in the form
of Solomon's proverbs. He extended
them to include love, friendship and ed
ucation. When published they COM
mended themselves to the people of that
day, and Tupper suddenly found himself
famous. N. p, Willis, who then edited
The Home Journal, got hold of a copy
and supposed the work was something
antique. He quoted it frequently in his
journal, and this largely contributed to
Tupper's reputation in America.

became widely known, his "Proverbial

Oddities of the Patent Ofice.

Occupying prominent position in
a case in tho center aisle is the model
of boat for lifting vessels over shoals.
1t was patented to Abraham Lincoln
in 1S49, when the future president
thought to make a reputation as an in.
vcntor rather than statesman. Lin
coin is the only president who ever
secured Il patent.
Tho first shoe was patented in 1911
by two Massachusetts, men. II is of
undrcsscd leather and there is quite
a difference between the workmanship
of that and the present machine
stitched shoe. So well was the work
done, however, that it was impossible
to tell whether it was pcgged or sewed
until some sacrilegious clerk cut the
sole and asccrtaincd it was peggcd.

SPONGE LILIEs.-Sponge lilies are

Opium In Franco.

What can be done or attempted to
check the dangerous and ever spread
ing tendency in France to drown dull
care or provoke pleasurable recrea-
tons of an cphemeral kind by the use
OF morphine is q question that has
been frequently raised Of late, and TO
which no satisfactory answer has been
found. Statistics on hand point to
the frightful consequences of the
deplorable abuse of the narcotic in
all classes of society, and sinister
prophecies of what the coming gcner-
alton will be, if the evil is not checked,
are not wanting. Medical celebrities,
consulted on the matter, however,
shake their heads with the remark
that it is next to impossible TO cure
confirmed morphia maniacs of their
passion, and that if they are for pc
Rod placed under treatment in u mai
son dc santo they are nosooner out of it
than they return with redoubled eager
ness to their former habits. 1t is
suggested that greater restrictions
than at present exist might be placed
on the sale of morphia, and notably
that doctors prescription for Ger
tain quantity of tho drug should never
be available, save on one occasion, UNI
less it be signed and dated afrcsh by the
medical man. The matter is certainly
one that demands attention and study,
for, as French paper remarks, the
total number of suicides in France is
relatively small, compared with that
OF persons who succumb to the abuse
of morphia. -London Standard.

The Household,
The Luxury of q Rose Jar.

A deli htiul perfume for halls and
parlors in dwelling houses or hotels can
be easily procured at this season of the
year, AMI it is such a pure yet delicious
odor that it charms every one. 1t is
simply rose jar, which should be
opened for about one hour every morn
ing and then carefully closed. A writ.
err in one of our English contemporaries
describes the best method for stocking
the jar, and in doing it suggest the
preparation of the rose stock should be
detailed to the care. taking member oil

Gather the rose petals in the morning
let them stand in a cool place, toss
them up lightly for one hour to dry
then put them in layers, with salt
sprinkled ever each layer. 10 large
covered dish-a glass butter dish is a
convenient receptacle. You can add
to this for several mornings, till you
have enough stock-irom one pint to a
quart, according to the size Of the jan;
stir every morning, and let the whole
stand for ten days. Then transfer it to
a glass fruit jar, in the bottom of which
you have placed two ounces of allspice,
coarsely ground, and as much stick Gin
namon. brokenly coarsely. This may
now stand for six weeks, closely cover
ed, when it is ready for the permanent
jar, which may be as pretty as your
ingenuity can devise or your means

are the best, and very pretty ones in
the blue and white Japanese ware,
holding over quart, can he bought for
a few shiIlings.
Have ready one ounce each of cloves,
allSpice, cinnamon, and mace, all ground
(not 6ne); one ounce of orris root. bruis.

other sweet scented dried f3wers or
herbs. Mix together, and put into the
jar in alternate layers with the rose
stock, and few drops of oil Of rose,
geranium. or violet, and pour over the
whole one.quarter pint of good cologne.
This will last for years. though from
time to time you may add little laven,
der or orange flower water, or any
nice perfume. and some seasons few
fresh rose petals. You will derive a
satisfaction from the labor only to be
estimated by the happy owners of sim.

Ensilage.

Mr., Mcdonald, the correspondent Of
the Mark Lane Express, while travel
ing in the United States lately, is re
ported as saying that, "while Indian
corn, in one totm or the other, is more
extensively fed to cattle than any other.
we cannot help thinking how much
better it would be for. the stock breed
ing interests of America if more roots
were grown to feed in conjunction
with the more heating and pampering
ingredients Of corn and cake"
Ensilage is fully taking the place OF
the extensive root crops, as succulent
winter feeding. Grass and Indian
corn in winter pretty we'll fill the bill
as a fattening food as we'll as good
combination to produce growth.

FRUIT If man grows the right
varieties Of fruit it will pay him a bet

the time required for its cultivation,

will not pay largely every year any

Butter Sailing,

Mr.. Nuttall, of England, noted
maker Of fine butter, is a pronounced
advocate Of brine sailing in the churn,
and makes the brine by mixing one
pound Of salt to each gallon of water.
He holds that it is great injury to
butter to grind dry salt into it and
leave it to dissolve after the butter has
been called finished. As brine sailing
for the great bulk of all the saline
element the butter will retain, is much
the easier way of accomplishing the
the object, it is wonder to us that
anybody wants to get the butter out of
the churn before the brine sailing is
done. In this case the better is the
easier way. Nobody pays for useless
work done in butter making.

Eels' Blood.

NJ. Mosso, of Turin, having carried
out series OF experiments with the
blood of cells, finds that it possesses
marked poisonous properties. Even to
tho tongue it has an insupportable
acridity, and very small quantity OF
the serum is sufficient TO Kill a dog.
Half a cubic centimeter injected be-
meath tho skin of a dog weighing thir-
ty-Iive pounds killed it in four min.
utes. AT this rate an eel weighing five
pounds would contain enough poison
to dispatch ten men. The blood of an
imals thus poisoned cannot be made TO
coagulate, as after the bite of serpents.
Fortunately tho blood is inert when in
troduced via the stomach and it loses
its toxic properties when heated. New
