LOVE OF HISTORY.
True or False, It's Records Always Appeal
to Human Passions.

to Human Passions.
The love of history seems inseparable
from human nature, because it seems in
separable from self-love. The same
principle, in this instance, carries us
forward and backward, to future and to
past ages, and runs through mankind,
from Caesar down to the parish clerk in
Pope's Miscellany. We are fond of pre-
serving, as far as it is in our power, the
memory Of our own time, and of those
who preceded it. Rude heaps of stone
have been raised, and rude hymns have
been composed, for this purpose, by
nations which had not yet the use of
arts and letters. To go no further back,
the triumphs of Odin were celebrated in
runic songs, and the feats of our British
ancestors were recorded in those of their
bards. The savages of America have
the same custom at this day; and long
historical ballads of their huntings and
their wars are sung at all their festivals.
There is no need of saying how this
passion grows among civilized nations,
in proportion to the means of crafty
ing it; but let US observe. that the same
principle of nature directs us as strong
ly, and more generally as well as more
early, to indulge our own curiosity, in
stead of preparing to crafty that of
others. The child hearkens with de-
light to the tales of his nurse; he learns
to read, and he devours with eagerness
fabulous legends and novels; in ripper
years he applies himself to history, or
to that which he takes for history, to
authorized romance; and, even in age
the desire of knowing what has hap.
pened to other men, yields to the desire
alone of relating what has happened tN
ourselves Thus history, true or false.
speaks to our passions always.-N. Y.

Swiss Pudding: Fill a buttered dish

bread crumbs, and pared and sliced APP
Piles. Sweeten and season to taste, and
put dabs of butter here and there
through the pudding, with few on
top. The undermost and the top layers
should be of bread crumbs. Bake in
moderate oven, and serve with either
wine or hard sauce.
Turkey and Poached Eggs: Chop
cold roast turkey meat fine with very
small onion, put what gravy there is in
to stew pan with small piece of but
ter, add the meat, and heat very hot
over the fire; poach enough eggs to al
low one for each person to be served;
turn the meat into the center of hot

omitted and celery used If preferable.
Bottles can be cleaned more effect

A STUPENDOUS WORK.

The New Croton Aqueduct at New York
and Other Great Tunnels
Compared with other tunnels, the new
aqueduct is easily at the head of all
works of like character in the world.
The cities of Chicago and Cleveland are
each supplied with water through tun-
neIs extending out into lake. The
first Chicago tunnel is 5 feet in diameter
and 10. 5sT feet long. The second tun-
mel is feet in diameter and 81, 400 feet
long. The Cleveland tunnel is only
feet in diameter and 1861 feet long. All
of these tunnels were laid in compare
lively soft materials. The Baltimore
water supply includes a rock tunnel,
twelve feet in diameter and seven miles
long, and is lined with brick-work for
about two miles. The old Roman aque-
ducts were several of them longer than
the Croton Aqueduct, but they were all
very small, and were merely masonry
conduits few feet in diameter. The
Liverpool water supply IS conveyed by
an aqueduct about twice as long
as the Croton Aqueduct, but it is msinly
a surface aqueduct, there being only a
little tunnel-work. A portion of the
aqueduct is mainly a pipe line. The
supply is from reservoir formed. like
that at Croton or at Sodom, by building
a dam across narrow gorge in a valley
among the mountains in Wales The
| dam is larger than shat at Sodom. being
1S6 feet high, while that at Sodom is
only rs feet Compared with the pro-
posed dam 1t will be small, as the new
dam is TO be over two hundred feet high,
and will be the highes: dam in the
world. The aqueduct tunnel. when
compared with railroad tunnels, is q
little smaller in diameter than the
three most famous tunnels, but is very
much longer. The Hoosac Tunnel is
only $4,000 feet long, the Mont Gents is
miles long. and the ST. Gothard 81
miles long, while the new Croton Aque-
duct as we have seen. is nearly so miles
| long.-Charles Barnard. in Century.

CARE OF BEES.
How They should Be Fedand Treated
During the Winter Months.

How They Should BE Fedand Treated
During the Winter Months.
There is but little opportunity during
the winter to give bees attention, and
the proper time to put them in shape Is
Turing the summer months. The
American Agnculturist says the feeding
should all be done before cold weather
sets in, and they should be settled in
their winter quarters before real winter
is at hand. 1t often occurs that winter
0vertakes us with colonies that lack
food. In such cases we can not possibly
use strip for food, as the weather is too
,old for the bees to seal it over, and I'M
sealed stores will not serve properly for
winter. The moisture which always
arises from the bees in cold weather en-
ters the unsealed honey and dilutes it,
making it very unwholesome. Our only
resort, therefore, for feeding in cold
weather is to make candy and use it.
This is very good and healthful food
il properly made and administered.
1t is made from graduated sugar by
melting it, adding little water-no
more than will thoroughly melt the
,ugar-when it is boiled few minutes
and poured out into cakes or states OF
three or four pounds each. When cool
this becomes very hard, almost like rock
sandy. In feeding this it is placed on
frames just over the cluster Of bees
where they can have access to it at all
times. When in this position it receives
the heat arising from the bees and they
remain on it all the time. 1t is so hard
that it will last them a long while. This
candy may be given bees at intervals
Turing winter, and colonies may be
brought through in good shape that
would have otherwise persisted. This,
Or any other work that is necessary to
10 with bees in winter, should be done
on warm days. 1t will not do to modest
them on cold day, but it should always
be done on days when the bees are

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due TO the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane OF the nose and

the result Of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
