In fly years the household has come
out OF darkness into light. There were 10
machine-made pins with firm heads a half
century ago. There were no envelopes, no
postage stamps, NJ blotting paper and no
steel pens ct to use. The housekeeper
had no canned fruits, meat and vegetables.
She could get no condensed milk, no cocoa
and but little chocolate. Fire was kindled
with the finder box. and candles and pipes
were usually lighted with live Goals from
the fireplace. Tomatoes were not eaten,
and neither ice nor refrigerator were known
in domestic life
No photograph of any kind had ever
been taken: garden hose and water
proof garments were unknown. and over
shoes were but just thought of fifty years
ago. Cooling soda water and ice cream
were not at hand, sewing was done by
hand and household linen was spun and
woven at home. There was no gas nor
electric Light nor kerosene. Whale oil
and tallow candles were the sole reliance
for light. Coal was hardly known and
wood was every body's fuel.
Table forks were made of steel, and had
but two prongs. Every body put food ill.,
to his mouth with his knife, and the ban
danna was the predecessor of the napkin.
No one lad thought of an individual but
ter plate. and stoves were a rarity. The
news Of the day was a loug time in being
disseminated among the people, for the
newspapers were scarce and unenterpris-
ing, and published hardly any but politi-
cal news, and this had TO come by slow
stage coach. for the telegraph and the rail-
road had hardly come into being.
The good old times sounds 4 great deal
better IA sentiment than in reality. They
were never so good that any one would
now want to exchange the present for
them; and as good as the present is, there
is a future upon which We are rushing that
offers to the imagination all the splendors
of the fancy.

Did any one ever see a man or a woman
with bay" hair? asks the Horse World,
No more than he saw an auburn horse.
The word bay does not of itself signify a
color, and its use for the purpose of de-
signaling the color of a horse is purely
traditional. 1t originated in England in a
district where the breed of horses was
mostly several shades away from the brown
and yet too brown to be called red. There
grew this district a great many bay trees,
to the leaves of which the horses exhibited
a decided affinity. The bay tree had long
been cherished among the natives for the
medical qualities OF its leaves and berries,
and, in a way, was sacred to them, having
had a place in many of their legends and
superstitions. Every breeder ofhorses was
sure to have a number of the trees, and
relied upon them almost exclusively for the
medicines wherewith to cure his horses.
The leaves were used in omentations and
the berries in oysters. The horses COM
ing from this district, reared among the bay
trees, became known as bay horses, and the
uniformity of their color led to the COM
mon use of the term.

FACTS

1t was i'll the year 1741 that the art OF
fish culture was discovered by n jacob,
a wealthy landed prprietor, living in Ho-
~henhausen, in Northwestern Germany. He
lit was who first took the eggs of a female
trout, fertilizing them with the milt of the
male and then Matching them in boxes
with running water.
In 1850 Professor Rathke, Of Konigsberg
discovered the reproductive organs in a fe-
male eel, and not until 1874 was it demon
strated that there was an eel that differed
from the female sufficiently to be called a
male.
The salmon spawns the same as the
trout, belonging, as it does, to the same
family of fish.
The carp family deposit their eggs upon
title twigs or roots on the borders of the
pond, being glutinous or adhesive. They
are left there to take their chances, with
out any of the fostering care exhibited by
the black bass and other fishes, and,
should the mother be stricken with hunger
and nothing handy to eat, she will not hes
itate to eat her own batch of eggs.
The Goldfish which approaches the shores
of Long Island during the months of No.
vember and December, apparently seeks
the shallow sand bars and there the eggs
or spawn are projected upon the water in
vast quantities along with the milt from
the male and are left to evolve life with
only the aid of the waters of the ocean.
A female Goldfish of average size deposits
some 5000, 600 of eggs, while the brook
trout of average size deposits only 500 to
500.
There are many curious phases Of spawn
ing to be found among the salt water fish
es. A notable one is the little seahorse of
hippocampus. When the spawning sea-
son arrives the female deposits its eggs in
to a little sac on the under side ofthe male
fish, where they are carried until Matched.
\ curious fish is found in South Ameri.
ca, Of which the male takes the eggs as
they are deposited by the female into his
mouth and carries them in two little pouch
es on the side of the interior of the mouth
until they are Matched.

TAKE BREATH. SIR.

Stop a minute. Don't hurry so. Move
slower; it may be you will move surer.
Grind, grind, grind; one everlasting grind
from five in the morning till ten at night,
chasing the bubble Of human riches. What
is the need, pray tell me? You already
have enough, and even more than you can
use. You are heaping up wealth for others
to waste, or perhaps quarrel over when
you are dead. And half our heirs, instead
of recollecting you gratefully, will con-
template your departure from this hurry
ing scene with infinite satisfaction. Do
rest awhile. You are wearing u the vital
forces faster than there is need, and in this
way subtracting years from the sum total
of your life. This rush and worry day af-
ter day, this restless anxiety after some
thing you have not got, is like pebble-stones
in maehinery-they CRATE and grind the life
out of you. You nave useless burdens;
throw them of. You have a great load of
needless care; dump it. Pull 10 the strings.
Compact your business. Take time for
thought of better things. Go out into the
air, and let Gods sun shine down on your
busy head. Stop thinking of business and
profit. stop grumbliug at adverse prov
licences. You will probably never see
much better times than these in his doom
ed world. Yonr most opportune season is
nos; your happiest day is to-day. Calmly
do your duty, aud let God take care of His
own world. He is still alive and s the
KING Do not imagine that things 20 TO
everlasting smash when you disappear
from this mortal stage. Don't fancy that
the curse Of heaven, in the shape of the
vain task Of Fighting up a ~disjointed earth,
is imposed upon you. Cease to fret and
faine; cease TO jump and worry, early and
late. The good time IS coming, but you
can never bring it; God can, and will.
Take breath, sir. Sit down and rest, and
draw a long breath. Then go calmly at
the tasks of life, and do your work WE'LL

DOGs OUTRUN A HORSE.

+. II. MCGEE, a veteran guide in the
Dead river region, in Maine, has trained
four dogs to pull in harness, and lately
they made the run from Augusta to Togus,
pulling a sleigh holding MCGEE and a
friend, in thirty minutes. On the way
Niece dropped his glove, and, having
gone ahead about a quarter of a mile, stop
ped his canine speeders and, embarrassing
one, simply remarked, Eve dropped my
glove, go back and fetch it, and the dog
did SO. Leaving Togus for Gardiner race
was started with a horse attached to a
sleigh, and the horse was beaten. McGee
drove without reins or whip, guiding sim
ply with the words "gee,' "haw," stop
$50" Three of the dogs are of the mas
tiff breed, and weigh about sixty pounds
each; the other is a bird dog, weighing
some forty pounds.

hair. Her form is slender, but well knit,
and she has been accustomed to help her
