Brain Work and Vitality.

You may kill man with anxiety
very quickly; but it is difficult to Kill
him with work, especially # he re-
tains the power, which most men Of
Intellectual occupations more or less
possess, OF sleeping nearly at will, and
without torpor. The man who has
used his brain all his life, say for six
hours day, has, in fact trained his
nerve power and placed it beyond the
reach of early decay, or that kind Of
feebleness which makes so many ap-
parentlY healthy men succumb SO
readily to attacks OF disease.
Doctors know the difference among
men in this respect quite well, and
many Of them acknowledge that the
habit Of surviving" which they find
in their best patients arises from two
causes-one, which used tn be always
pleaded, being that soundnesS Of
physical constitution which some men
enjoy by hereditary right, and in the
other, some recondite form Of brain
power, seldom exhibited, except uI-
der strong excitement, by any but
those who throughout life have beer
compelled to think and, so to speak
use their thoughts as other men usC
their ligaments and muscles.
Clf such 4 man is tired of life, medi
cine will not save him; but, as rule,
his will, consciously or unconciously,
compels the trained power to
struggle on. Whether the brain can
actually give power to the muscles is
net certain, though, the enormous
strength sometimes developed in 4
last rally looks very like it; but that
il can materially effect vitality is
quite certain, and has been acknowl.
edged by the experienced in all ages

Preserving Bacon.

We are asked for the best method
OF keeping hams aud shoulders after
smoking. We think we can give
which will prove all that could lie
wished. We have tried various
modes, but find the two following to
answer all purposes desired most ad
mirGbly.
The first is, to hang your bacon Up,
shank down, in a good, dry, cool,
stone smoke-house, and keep in per-
feet darkness-the smoke house to be
used for no other purpOse-in order
to avoid the opening of the door as
much as possible. When the ham is
wanted 1t should be taken out and
kept out We have known hams to
be kept in this way for two years, as
sweet, pure and almost as free from
rust as the day they were smoked,
and without an insect having ap
preached it
The other mode, in the absence o.
proper smoke house, is about April
or May, or when the mild weather
renders 1t necessary, to cover your
meat well with clean, dry wood ashes,
and pack down in tight -four casks,
well closed at the top The ashes
must be thoroughly dry, passed
through a seiye to separate it from
coal, Jumps, and other impurities,
and well rubbed on the meat. The
casks may be put away in dry attic
or outhousc, where the meat will be
perfectly preserved until wanted.
We make this statement from our
own knowledge Of its entire correct
ness, and recommend fair trial Of
either Of these modes with full con-
fdence in its success. s.-Germantowr

They Would Take the Same.

The tall, thin missionary with a
bald head and red nose was impressed
with the looks OF the two Indians
who had been sitting motionlcss in
the sun for three hours, says the De-
troit Tribune. "Here," declared the
missionary, sis the raw material of
useful manhood. 1t only needs to be
reclaimed by the hand Of religion" :"
With a triumphant and inefTably
sweet smile, as if the victory
were already his, he turned to the
aborigines. "How" he observed.
The noble red men opened their eyes,
but made no audible reply. "Come,
ye who are weary" urged the mis-
siOnafY. "IIuh The Indians seemed
quite contented with their present
position. The Inducements held out
by the bald-heade1 party with a reG
nose were not sufficiently powerful tcI
arouse within their breasts any con-
Stunning desire for change. "Bt
men" exclaimed the man of God.
"Huhw The denizens Of the foresa
evidently preferred to be Indians.
Possibly 1t was more fun, but they
didn't say. Before YOU are two
roads," explained the missionary.
'|rhe one leads to ruin and useless
ness, the other to salvation and
glory" The natives looked puzzled
Which will you take'" the tall, thin
exhorter impressively demanded. In.
stantly the Indians were upon their
.eet, their eyes kIndled with iutel.i-
yence. The missionary was almost
overcome with delight. 81 say
thundered he in his deepest tones,
(Which will you take?" He listened
eagerly, rapturouSly for the reply;
"a little OF the same." they cordially
declared. Almost before they knew
the missionary was gone.

THE SOLOMON ISLANDS
'annibalism Is Still Praoticed In the Pa.
cific.

| The Solomon Islands, recently an
neXed by England, are the largest
and as yet the least known OF any in
the Pacific Ocean. There are seven
or eight large, mountainous islands;
varying in length from seventy to 100
miles, and great number of smaller
Islands, ranging from fifteen u
twenty miles in length.
The Solomon islanders are OF a
mixed race, varying between an al
most Malay type and the darker
skinned Polynesian. They are al
most universally cannibals. The men
are, as rule, tall and well formed
and the women, in their youth, ale
handsome and attractive The condi-
tion of women among them, as in
most savage races, is one OF absolute
subsection. The wife is the house
hO,d slave. She is completely in the
power of her husband for life or death.
Wives are bought and sold Just like
other commodities, and among the
wealthy chiefs poiygamy is freely
practiced.
1t was on one of these islands tha'
Mr.. Bates, an English yachtsman.
landed from his vessel and started
into The woods. He never came back.
A party vainly searched for him and
for years goods landed on the island
were done up in wrappers on which
was printed: Bate, we are looking
for you"
Head-hgnting is still carried on Il
some extent in connection with can
nibalism, but much more from the
simple desire Of the chiefs to accumu-
late skulls as token of power.
The custom has also a sacritlcial as-
pect; In case of the death OF chief a
head must be provided, and the
launching OF new war canoe or the
completion OF bamboo house must
be signalized in the same way. Within
the radius OF the head-hunting dis
tricts no native can be said to enjoy
security Of life for sing day. The
custom Is now, however carried OF
less openly than in former times.
Every chief has his butcher On
headsman, who is an important mem
Der of his court. When i captive is
taken in war, he is handed over TO
this official and promptly dispatched.

joints are hung upon tree reserved
for that purpose in the village and
the people are invited to come an(

How the Horse Was Made.

The Arabian legend Of the creation
of the horse is curious. When Allah
willed to create the horse. He said
to the south wind: II will that a
creature should proceed from thee
cOndense thyself!"- the wind
con1ense itself. Then came the
angel Gabriel, and he took handful
of this matter and presented it TO
Allah, who formed Of it dark bay

signed him with the sign of glory
and Of good fortune (ghora, star in
