People who are trembling at the
possibility Of cholera epidemic, may
read lesson in the following: A
Scotch professor commenced a course
of lectures on the heart After his
second lecture he had just sat down
to dinner, when a servant came in
aud said Mr.. Jones, one of the stu,
dents, wished to see him. HurrYing
into the next room he found Mr..
Jones wearing most anxious look.
"Oh, sir, / was obliged to call; l am
suffering from an acute attack OF
heart disease" The professor sounded
him forthwith, but could find no trace
Of the alleged mischief. He had
scarcely dismissed Jones with this
comforting assurance when Mr.. Smith,
another student, was ushered in 1t
was the same story, with the same
result. In fact, every member of the
professors c'ass, with two exceptions
imagined himself to have heart dis
ease; and 1t was not, as might be
imagined, preconcerted plot to play
joke on the professor; it was simply
imagination, which has as many vic
Tins as disease itself.

There need be no dread Of famine
in this country as long as there are
bananas in Central America. Alex
snder Won Humboldt said once, after
examining the capabilities of the
banana, that a single section of Cen
trail America could feed the world
with farinsceous food not inferior
In quality to the best grain, and that
there is some truth in this statement
seems clear from the fact that
bananas are now being made into
-four and shipped to this country and
Europe. When we are threatened
with famine therefore, we can fall
back On the banana, but until then
we do not believe that banana -four,
although it is said to make excellent
bread and cakes, will take the place
Of wheat and -four, at least among
the North Americans

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists ami
hygienlsts as TO the relative value OF the
various baking powders. A careful sitting
Of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the
superiority OF the Royal Baking Powder in
Turity, wholesomeness ami strength, from
scientific standpoint An opinion, how
ever, that will have perhaps greoter innu-
once with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the well known
and popular writer, upon matters pertain
ing to the science Of domestic economy, Of
housekeeping, and OF home cooking. In a
letter published in the Philadelphia Ladies'
Home Journal, this writer says;
II regard the Royal Baking Powder ~

such compounds. Since the introduction Of

tirely discarded for such purposes the home

thirds cream Of tar.

tents have given complete satisfaction. u

It is against the principles OF tne
-Brahman religion to take the lie vi
INV creature, and as a consequence
he people OF India are preyed ui'ou
,nd oyerrun by great many aEilhals'
against which they can make buu
,eebla and ineffective resistance.
The real tyrant OF the Hindoo peopie
IT the present time is the MONKEY,
which ceaselessly preys upon ana mar
lsses them
! Not long ago the merchants OF
3enares. the sacred city of the GangeS'
iecided that they, could endure the
iepredations of the monkeys no
onper. The shops of the city are
Without doors and windows, ana tne
/ 'ruits. grains and other commodities
,ffered for sale are exposed TO the
open air.
The merchant usually sits watcn
ng over his wares; but often MS at-
,ention is diverted from them Tor
moment; and moreover, the Benares
merchant, having not much TO do'
md the climate being warm, olCeh
lods aud sleeps as he sQuats at MS
ioOr.
/ The monkeys are always at hand
Watching their opportunity. Let the
merchant absent himself for an ln-
taut, or go off into nap, ana IN
tant.y the nimble apes are helping
themselves to rice, fruit, cakes. or
Inything e.se that they find mandy.
II the merchant wakes suddenly,
here is a great scampering, and the
thieves are well out or reach before
le can lay hand upon one or them.
Recently the streets OF Benares De-
.ame so Overrun with these impudent
)lunderers that the merchants held
Meeting and decided that somsthing
must be done. Inasmuch as their
eligion forbade them to kill the
monkeys, they decided to Danish the
)estS.
A great force Of men was organized.
The streets were surrounded and In
raded, the monkeys were all captured,
md each in turn placed IN cages
| Then they were taken to large
! crest at a considerable distance from
he city, and freed 10 the midst Of
he great trees. They scampered into
he branches as if they were having a
'ery good time; aud there the mer-
:hants left them, and returned to
heir shops rejoicing that now they
,ould nod in peace.
That evening there was rare sight
n Benares Into the streets, just at
lusk, there came great caperIng
.rmy OF apes. They were the monkeys
# Benares, who had found their way
lome from the forest to which they
lad been banished; and though they
nust have been very tired from tray-
ding on foot-and hand-so long a
distance, their joy at reaching home
gain was SO great that they gam
,olled like troop of school children

Being clty-bred monkeys, they hao
ZOE enjoyed country life. Next day
hey were all at their old posts, raid
ng the foodshops with renewed and
ager appetites and greatly refreshed
mpudence.

PEOPLE who never worry do a good
ieal Of missionary work that they don't
get credit for

The discovery of Electricity, with its
.daptatir to light, when first known,
almost startled the world. Since its appli-
cation, and its many uses to which it is
applied, we seem to lose sight of its
great value and importance; so it was
said few days ago, by a noted physi-
clan, of Cams Kidney Cure, which re-
moved two large gall stones of Mrs.
Knapp, of Philadelphia, after Professor
Gross, the great physician, could find
no remedy; also Mrs. l. l.. G. Miller,
Of Bethlehem, Ptnna, who was given
up with Bright's Disease and Dropsy,
when this Remedy got her well some
five years ago. Everybody said that was
a miracle, and did nothing but commu-
nicate so with hundreds of other cases
of Dropsy, Gravel, &c, which happy
people sent to 72O Venango St, Phila +,
in appreciation of so great a remedy for
the human afflicted family. Has this
medicine lost its virtue? Is it any the
less able to perform miracles as in the
past, like electricity? {? The same value
as ever, then make use of that which is
essential to life and happiness. Health
is more value than wealth, and we de-
light to advise you how to gain it. We
are glad to say DIR. Cams advertise
ment may be found in our paper Hav-
ing known of the reputation of the

PIvKs AND CARNATIONS.

In growing this family OF flowers,

Rnce and growth the two are rot very

Probably the neatest thing Ia this line
is made from the common grapevine
and woodbinP, or hve-leaved ivy.
Secure pieces of grapevine ten inches
long and about as thick ds the small
finger. Soak them in hot water to give
them pliRbilit7, aud then put holes
through them about an inch from each
end. Take an ordinary wooden bowl
and cover the outside with odd pieces
Of roots, nailed on firmly. These will
give the basket q rustic appearance,
which is very attractive. Narnish the
outside, and then attach the sides 10
the wires IN the grapeyines. The
KrRpeviDes shOuld be about two inche s
apart in order to give strength to the
basket. Plant a good woodbiue in the
basket and wind the vines around the
basket and the grspevines until they
are partly concealed from view. The
effect is delightful.

Our Yankee Dialect.

Many so-called "Yankeeisms" are
dialect words straight from the En-.
glish counties. A little poem called
"A Lincolnshire Tale" is an excellent
illustration Of this. 1 quote a few
characteristic lines merely:
sand git thee sen (soon) made smart and
pretty,
And I'll go fetch my sister Bess.
I'm sartin sure she's up and ready
And brother Joss
A-shoutiu TO the folks as passes
The pronunciation OF git" for get, :
"yallar" for yellow" "sartin" for ser
TAIN" the syntax in I'm sartin sure
she's up and ready" comes TO our ears
with the familiar ring Of the "Biglow
Papers" or of "Sam Slick" Guess"
as in Il guess it is so, for suppose,
was once, as Chaucer shows, standard
English. "Of twenty yeer of age be
was, gesse." "Gumption," for "wit"
or sense, "spry," for lively cute,
for "shrewd," are all English terms.
Grammatical peculiarites also
abound, such as the use Of the double
for the single negative, constructions
such as Il had ought, or the possess
i've form "hisn, "of youru, "of hern,
etc, and the frequency of construc-
tions with the verbal noun, as
"a-Cetherin. "a-turnin'."

AN EARLY PASsY-BED

There is nothing more attractive in
she early spring than pansy-bed. In
order to secure blossoms early, the
plants must have attained proper size
under glass. 1t is necessary, there
fore, to SOW pausy seed early. Any
long wooden box, fitted into a sunny
window in a moderately cold room, but
where it does not freeze, will do for a
seed box. Be sure the earth is rich,
well fertIlized with thoroughly rotted
compost and wool mould, and that it
is fine and friable, so the tiny seed can
easily thrust down their slender roots in
it, Keep the earth moderately moist
after sowing the seed, and in a short
time the little plants will be up and
growing. 1t requires some resolution,
TO thin out the greater portion of them
in order to give those that are left suf
6cient room to grow, but this must be
done without sparing or all the plants
will be Weakllngs. Very pretty effects
can be produced by raising box of
white or nearly white pansies for
border, and box OF mixed, dark, vel
7ety ones for the center of the bed.
These quaint, blotched, lovely flowers
Ieem more like living things than any
other blossom. ''Old ladies' is the
German name for them, but the Eng
ish name of pansy from "our thoughts
as touch of finer fancy.
