TIE public libraries all over the North
are gradually beginning to open on
Sunday. Itisa movement that whether
it be for good or whether it be for evil
is certainly increasing II becomes all
men who have the interest OF the Sab,
bath at heart and at the same time the
benefit, the harmless pleasure OF the
classes who have least leisure, and
the removal OF temptation from
their way, to take this matter
into serious consideration. Sooner
or later, if the measure spreads as it is
doing at present at the North, we will
have to face it here. II the libraries
are open, very few will 90 into them for
religious reading. This has been
proved already at Worcester, Masss-
chusetts, and other places. On the
other hand there appears to be very
few novels taken out. As to the classes
frequenting the library, the Librarian OF
the Worcester library says:


ut has been very evident that the
rooms have been frequented for various
purposes. l have looked around with
interest TO see the character of the visi .
tors. They have been very largely me-
chanics, s,orekeepers and others, who
are occupied during the week, and
would not use library or reading rooms
much if al all, on week days"


The subject has perple1ed many good
men, and met with great opposition.
The danger is in the insidious sp-
proaches TO disregard Of the sacred
ness OF the Sabbath, and it's evil lies
more in the future than the present.

termed license, is not license IN the

The condition OF the horse among us

manner in which We permit him to be
used by our car companies for local trans.
portaton, the pavements with which We
supply him to do his work upon, and
the dens in which we allow him to be
lodged are worthy of the Dark Ages

How TO MIX MUSTARD Mustard
should be mixed with water that has
been boiled and allowed to cool /; hot
water destroys its essential properties,
and raw, cold water might cause 1t fe
ferment. Put the mustard in a cup
with small pinch of salt. and mix
with it very gradually sufficient boiled
water to make it drop from the spoon
without being watery. Stir and mix
well, and rub the Jumps well down with
the back of a spoon, as mustard proper
ly mixed should be perfectly free from
these. The mustard pot should not be
more than half full, or rather less, II II
will not be used for day or two as the
mustard is so much better when fresh
made.

Slice cooked beets quite thin, put in a

bic. Taste it, and if any ingredient is
lacking, add more of it ; salt very little.
and pepper: thicken the whole slightly ;
serve hot. Beets may be skinned much
easier by rubbing over with a cloth i'm
mediately in taking them from the wa
ter in which they are cooked, than by
usirg knife and fork.

How MARBLES ARE MADE.-The chief
place Of the manufacture of marbles-those
little pieces of stone which contribute so
largely to the enjoyment of boys-is at
Oberstein on the Nahe, in Germany, where
there are large agate mills and quarries, the
refuse Of which is carefully turned to GOOD
paying account by being made into small
balls, employed by experts to knucklo with,
and are mostly sent to the American mar
ket. Tho substance used in Saxony is a
hard calcareous stone, which is first broken
into blocks, nearly square, by blows with
hammer. These are thrown, by the one
hundred or two hundred, into a small sort
OF mill, which is formed of fiat, stationa-
ry slab OF stone, with number of eonccu-
tric burrows upon its face. A block of oak.
or other hard wood, of the same dametric
size is placed over the stones and partially
resting upon them. The small block of
wood is kept revolving while the water
nows upon the stone slab. In about fifteen
minutes the stones are turned into spheres.
and then, being fit for SALE are henceforth
called marbles. One establishment, con-
tanning only three of these mills, will turn
out fully sixty thousand marbles in each
week. Agates are made into marbles at
oberslein, by first chipping the pieces neat
~ round with hammer, handled by
skilful workman, and then wearing down
the edges upon the surface of a large grind
stone.
