{ fiicial act of mine during the last
session Of the Legislature gave me
grester pleasure than the signing Of the
bill that made this day Q legal holiday in
our State. Applause, Il seems to me
q Just recognition Of the position OF labor
in our social system. II was 8 public aud
permanent acknowledgment Of the irdebt-
edness Of the State to ito labofiDg men and
women. AIlwesl,h 10 primarily the prod

through the com moined and persistent efforts
of laboriog men and women. Most
Of the citizens Of our State are

more free from that cheap snobbery that

from syu .tnetic fellowship with

QUAINT, BUT COSY.
The Snug Interior of an Antique Farm
Kitchen in Scotland.

Kitchen in Scotland.
Here is an interesting description of q
Scotch farm kitchen:
What picture of cosiness! The wind
may arise and howl without, the snow
may gather in many heap, the sheep
may shiver in their hillside fold, but
here there is warmth and cheer for
man. 1t is big room, the lamp not
yet lit, and the lights and shadows of
the roaring fire dance many dance on
the polished fiagstones that cover the
floor and the multitudinous rows of
brightly shining plates and cups and
Jugs which grace the shelves.
There are two tables in the kitchen,
a long. large one to the left from where
we sit, and smaller one to the right
If you are curious TO see what the serv-
ants had for supper take peep at the
larger table and you will see the rem
nants of feast consisting of potatoes,
mashed and mixed with cream, onion,
butter, salt and pepper with an accom-
paniment of SKINNED milk and I'M
stinted quantities of oatmeal bread
This is the simple fare of our simple
friends. Some have thought and said:
W tldI Il SildilC llldb Nltt Ndt i'Ai
farmer should live SO well himself and
half-starve his ill-paid laborer!'
Well, it all depends on what is meant
by living we'll Look from the larger
to the smaller table. There sits the
farmer of Linkerstown, and he, too, has
evidently been fed upon the same un-
pretentious meal 1t is otherwise in
many of the larger farms we know,
where the master does not eat with his
men, but Linkerstown was reminder
of older and better times when there
was a much greater solidarity of inter
est between the employer and the en-
ployed.
On Sunday it is indeed different for
then the farmer always takes his din
ner and supper but the hoose;" but it
is well understood that this is only done
because he is always favored with
company, and he would not care to
ask strangers into the kitchen, nor
would his servants desire their presence.
There are many features which de-
serve notice, as we look around, but
space forbids their description. One
thing must however, be mentioned. 1t
is that bundle of birch twigs placed
over the little window in the back of
the house. The bunch is fresh in APP
pearance and must have been cut very
recently. 1t is "a talisman of luck, and
ii was put there by Maggie.
It'll bring guild to the hoose," said
she; but was she not thinking of her
own fortunes? Her heart could possibly
tell At any rate, she believes in IL
Az. and so does every one in this room,
including the farmer himself, by q kind
of instinct. for his reason could hardly
Justify his credence, he man of sober
life, and sound in the faith N Y.

The snrnres of Civilization.

Suppose, after having vented our in
dignation against the red man, who are
so often reported as committing ''un-
heard-of atrocities on our border, we
look at home. We have Bibles, pas
tors, churches, Sunday-schools. We
call ourselves a Christian community.
The aborigines have none of these
things. They are heather; yet we can
beat them at atrocities and give them
odds. They may knock squaw or two
on the head now and then, for wife
murder is not an institution" among
them. but we have never yet heard of
two North American Indians pound
ing each other to a jelly for money,
with other Indians looking on for
amusement. To be sure, the savages
sometimes torture their prisoners, but
that is part of their system of retri-
butive justice; and as they have never
been taught better, as we have, some
allowance must be made for them. Be
sides, thousands of Christians have been
tortured by Christians in a manner
quite as barbarous as if the tormentors
had been barbarians.-N. Y. Ledger.

OF the tens of thousands of INDECENT
Italian women who have come TO New
York within the last few years few
have sought to get living by domestic
service The fact that they cannot
speak our language makes them ur-
desirable in households; and, besides
that, they are unframed in such duties
as are needed by American families
and know nothing of the art of house
keeping in the American way or Of
kitchen work and cookery in the
American style. Several New York
families however, who have procured
Italian domestics, give satisfactory ac-
counts of their experiences with them.
They say that the Italian young women
are quick TO learn. anxious to please and
very sure to be extremely polite, and
that if the mistresses who hire them
viii only be patient with them for a
few months they will very likely find
them to be unsurpassed in the perform
anee of the duties OF domestic service.

POISONS IN OYSTERS.

Objections to the Bivalve as an Article of
Diet.
A number of instances have been re-
corded recently by Chicago papers and
others of severe and even fatal cases of
poisoning through the use of oysters.
They are not always dangerous as food,
but they are very liable to contain
deadly poison, and moreover. the eating
of themis certainly an unnatural thing
We think it is horrible in a Frenchman
to eat snails, and yet these creatures
are much more cleanly than the
oyster. A snail lives on the leaves
of the vine which is very
wholesome food, whereas the
oyster lives upon the crumbs
which fall from the table of all the
scavengers of the deep, and man the
greatest scavenger of them ALL eats the
oyster! Not long ago. | saw picture of
the sea shore, with a large pear tree
growing upon the bank, and an oyster
bed beneath. A monkey had climbed
the tree and was reaching out for
nice luscious pear overhead, while the
man was standing upon the beach,

turn away from the luscious fruits
of the earth to seelIin the slime and ooze
of an oyster bed for morsel of food.
And worst of all, he often takes the
oysters alive, which is certainly spe-
cies of cannibalisIn. A young man went
down town from the sanitarium for a
dish of oysters and in a few
hours was violently ill. / sent down
for some oysters from the same place
for examination, and found quantities
of poisonous ptomaines. A very little
of the poison extracted killed eat.
Oysters in bulk in kegs are very liable
to become tainted. The keg is opened
and the first which are sold are all
right, and then decomposition sets in,
and dangerous poisons are generated.
| have made microscopic studies of oys-
ters, and found the soup swarming
with bacteria and the beard of an oys-
ter covered with wriggling animalculac;
yet people take oysters from the shell
and swallow them alive Thackeray

large oyster II feel as if | had swal-
lowed baby" and man ought to feel
