A WHITE PINE NABoB.-Last summer
an inpecunious individual, who had seen
better times, met an old friend (the com
panion Of luckier days) on Montgomery
street, and after some conversation on
things" generally, alluded to his present
condition, and limited that with a small
loan he conld get into the country and


perhaps be able to improve his financial
status. His friend had thirty two dollars
in his pocket, and cheerfully gave all but
two, To aid in getting the other away to the
interior. This sum Was soon after increased


by the loan OF twenty dollars from another
former associate, and the now liqbt- hearted


man went his way up country rejoicing.

LOOK TO THE COP OF YoUR FATHERS
Henry Ward Beecher, in recent SER
mon, discoursed thus in regard TO the
fair sex:


"Maidens, look to the God of your
fathers. If there be any one in this
world who can not afford not to be a
Christian, it IL woman. If there be
any one whose beauty fades as flower,
and whose grace needs the sus.enance
of the ineffable; if there be one whose
power is in beauty, in purity, goodness,
it is woman. If there be any one more
than another upon whom blight falls
more rudely; il there be any one more
than another who is more burdened with
grief, OF more wrung with sorrow, 1t is
woman that is not Christian. The
ladder between her soul and God Is not
half so long as that between our souls
and God. God made woman to be bet
ter than man; and the perversion is in
proportion when she is worse"

Once n week IL often enough for n do.
cent man TO wash himself all over. and
whether in summer or winter that ought
TO be done, with soap, warm water and a
hogs hair brush, in a room showing at
least seventy degrees Fahrenheit. If a
man is pig in his nature, then no amount
Of washing will keep him clean, inside or
ont. Such one neeCs bath every
time he turns round. lie cannot do any
thing neatly.


Baths should be taken early in the
morning, for it is then the system poss-
esses the power Of reaction in the highest
degree. Any kind of bath is dangerous
soon after meal, or soon after fatiguing
exercise. No man or woman should take
q bath at the close of the day, unless by
the advice of the family physician. Many
a man in attempting to cheat his doctor
out of fec, has cheated himself out Of
his lite; it is done every day.


The safest mode Of a cold bath is n
plunge into river; the safest time is i'm
mediately after getting up. The neces-
sary effort of swimming to shore COM
pels reaction and the effect is delight
ful.


The best, safest, cheapest and most
universally accessible mode of keeping
the surface OF the body clean, besides the
once a week washing with soap, warm
water and hogs hair brush, is as jollows:


As soon as you get out of bed in the
morning wash your face, hands, neck and
breast; then into the same basin of water
put both feet AT once for about minute,
rubbing them brisklY all the time, then
with the towel, which has been dampened
by wiping the face, feet, etc, wipe the
whole body well, fast and hard, mouth
shut, brest projecting. Let the whole
thing be done within FIVE minutes.


AT night, when you go to bed, and
when ever you get out of bed during the
night, or when you find yourself wakeful
or restless, spend from two to five min
utes in rubbing the whole body, with
your hands, as far as you can reach, in
every direction. This has tendency to
preserve that softness and nobility of
skin so essential to health and which too
frequent washing always destroys.

Cows require shade in summer, and il
at liberty will travel great distance to
obtain it. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they are the best judges of their
wants, and if deprived of this comfort
and compelled to stand or lie all day
without any screen from the hot sun, a
declise in flesh, loss of vital energy, and
marked decrease in the flow of milk
must follow. The grazing times for cat
tie i'll hot weather are at uightfall, and
early in the morning when the grass is
fresh with dew; and they should by TO
means be confined in the yard during
the night time, and retained there no
longer than is necessary at milking time.
A good supply of fresh pure water is as
essential as plenty of feed to keep up the
yield of milk, and very great error is
entertained by some who suppose that
if cows get their fill once day it is all
they require. If n farmer is compelled
to water his stock at the well in dry
time, large trough should be furnished.
and kept filled so that they can drink
when they choose. The water is all the
better for standing short time exposed
to the atmosphere. Farmers sometimes
get the idea that cattle do not want
water but once day, for the reason
that they will come to the well only
that often to get it. When drink first
fails them in the pasture, cattle will
visit the well TIVE or three times day
for a short time, but soon learn that
water is furnished only ut certain times
and then they remain away, however
thirsty they may become until the hour
arrives which has been set as time to
supply them.

THE BIC DRUM-A contemporary says
of the big drum used at the late Boston
Peace Jubilee We can only give an
outline of this musical monstrosity: Il is
one hundred feet long, five hundred feet
in diameter, and has an area of about two
and half acres of sheepskin on the sides.
The sheepskins, to the number Of seventeen
thousand, have been delicately but firmly
pasted together according to newly dis
covered process by clever Connecticut
mechanic, which will be patented. The
drumsticks are as large as the masts of
frst-class clipper ship, and will be opera
ted by machinery, somewhat as follows:
A sort of derrick or pedestal has been erec-
ted on each side of the huge drum, with
machinery on the pivot principle for tho
drumsticks to work in. The leverage of
the latter will be light, and the mechani-
cal resistance has been reduced to the low
est practicable point. Only ten men with
ropes will be required to work each drum
stick. These men, of course, will be ac-
complished musicians, and will be under
the control of director, who will also be
guided by Professor Gilmore, the grand
director.


The machinery of the ponderous drum
sticks will be almost entirely concealed
from the audience. The derricks will be
furnished with platforms or seats, which
will accommodate $50 performers. The rest
of the machinery will be covered by Amer
lean flags artistically arranged. AT first
it was intended to accommodate the entire
orchestra upon benches and platforms ar
ranged on alternate tiers of the front Sec
ton of the drum. But it was found that
the many scafoldings required wouldtin-
tcrfere with the musical notes of the drum.
1t was also apprehended that the tremen-
dous concussion of the drum would unseat
them, This part of the programme was
therefore reluctantly leftout.


But the drum as it stands will be mon
ument worthy of Boston. 1t is so large
that it is calculated five hundred persons
could be comfortably dined in the interior.
As for the sound, it is expected that some
of the deeper notes will be heard at dis
tance of fifty miles. etN i9st
