' Ik m Forbidden Food In China. The Chinese, who esteem rat to be a delicacy, are down on the use of milk. The following translation of a Chinese placard regarding the highly immoral practice of consuming cow's milk is sent lor publication : "Strictly refrain from eating cow's milk! Man should not rob the beasts of their food. More over of all beasts the cow is the most useful and meritorious. Men who do not discriminate between mankind and beasts are worse than senseless. Those who sell milk darken their consciences for gain, and those w ho cat cow's milk foolishly think they are benefiting their bodies. Men who take medicine should first carefully investigate and find out its nature. Why do not those w ho eat cow's milk consider and in quire into Its origin? For instance, men have families1, and while the children are small they depend upon milk for their nourishment; so it Is also with beasts. Iut when men buy milk to eat, do they not do injury to the life of the calf? And is there not bitter hatred and distress in the minds of both cow and calf? Beasts cannot speak; how then are they able to tell the man that, in eating the milk of beasts, his body becomes like that oj birds and beasts? But if men wish to take strengthening medicine, there are numberless other articles in the world that are beneficial ; and what necessity then is there for taking cow's milk? Besides this, the death and lite. of men have their fixed number and limit, and this cow's milk cannot lengthen out a-id continue the life of man. Since, then, all know the truth that it cannot do this, all ought to act with a loving and benevolent spirit. Kspeclally all who receive this exhortation should keep from eating milk. The children of those who cause their families to refrain from eating milk will be preserved to grow up: they also will thus lengthen out their own lives, and wiil escape from evil in time of fatal epidemics. If 6uch persons be able alio to exhort others, who are ignsrant 01 first princi ples, to leave off the eating of milk, theirdescendants shall surely prosper." Sunlight In all houses with a north front it is the positive duty of families occupying them to transfer their living rooms to the south side of the house during the winter months. The sun rises and sets during the six cold months of the year to the southeast of west, so that south rooms are warmed up by rays of the sun more or less during the entire day. Those who have never experimcn eJ with the difference will probably be surprised to learn that there is a dif ference of from fire to twenty-live degrees in the thermometer between the north and south exposures, five to ten degrees difference in the morning and afternoon, aud from twenty to twenty-five decrees in the middle ol the day. The glass in windows is a non-conductor of atmospheric cold, while it is an assistance to the active trausmi.-sioiis of the sun's rays of light and heat. Wherever the sun's rays can be enjoyed longest during a win ter's day is the desirable part of the house for living purposes. Due atten tion to this fact wlil contribute enor mously not merely to the comfort, but to the health, of the women and chil dren who spend the greater part of their time within doors in the winter season. There is a vat amount of talk about ventilation and change of air as necessary togood liealih.bnt the suppres Sou of the light and mephiticsewer gases by affordins jrier avenues of escape, and an admission of all the available sunlight, are the two chief conditions togood health in household life. In France, Italy and Germany, though the winter climates are not nearly so severe as our own, the benefits of sun light are understood better and culti vated more generally than auiong us The comparative scarcity and costliness of luel in those countries have led peo ple to take advantage of the sun's heat to the largest poible extent. The natural warmth of the sun's rays shouM be more cultivated tu a cold climate like this, and any change in a house necessary to the better er.joymcnt thereof will save more in the reduced consumption of fuel tiiau it can possi bly cost. The south exposure is not only warmer, but less damp, and in every way more conductive to good health than an v other. Ta lu the Mustard The other evening the Kcv Mr. Phiiacter sat down to the tea table with a very thoughtful air, and attended to the wants of his brood in a verv abstracted manner. Presently he )xked up at his wife and said: "The Apostle Paul" Hiot au awful lump ou the head 'Rafter non," broke in the pastors eldest son, "Plaving bae ball. Bat flew out of the striker's hand when I was umpire, and cracled me right above the ear, an' dropped me. Hart? GoiIy: end the lad shook his head in dismal but expressive panto mime as he tenderly ruolicd a lump that looked like a billiard ball with hair on it. The pastor gravely paused for the interrup tion, and resumed : "The Apostle Paul" 'Saw Mrs. O'libcminie down at Green- iiaum's this afternoon," said his eldest daughter, addressing her mother. "She had on that same old everlasting black silk, made over with a vest of tilleni green silk, coat-tail basque pattern, overskirts made with diagonal folds in front, edged with deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black velvet facing inside the brim, and pale blue flowers. She's going to Chicago." The good minister waited patiently, and then, in tones just a simile louder, said: "The Apostle Paul" "Went in swimmm' last night with Har ry and Ben, pop, and stepped on a clam shell," exclaimed his youngest son; "cut my foot so I can't wear my shoe ; and please can't I stay home to-morrow ?" The pastor informed his son that he might stay away from the river, and then resumed ins topic. I Ic said : "The Apostle Paul says '' "My teacher is an awful liar, ' shouted the second son ; "be says the world is as round as an orange, and it turns around all the time faster than a circus man can ride. I guess he hain't got much sense." The mother lifted a warning finger to ward the loy, and said "hush:" and the father resumed: "The Apostle Paul says Don't bite off twice as much as yon can chew," broke out tue eldest son, reproving the assault of his little brother on a piece of cake. The pastor's face showed just a trifle of annoyance as he said, in very firm, decided toues: "The Apostle Paul says " "Theresa fly in the butter!" shrieked the youngest hopeful of the family, and a general laugh followed. When silence was restored, the eldest daughter, with an air of cunority said: "W ell, but, pa, I really would like to know what the Apostle Paul said ?" "Pass me the mustard," said the pastor, absenLy. Then the committee rose, and the senate went into executive session, and soon after adjouraed. Law for the Feople A parole gift of personal property must be accompanied by possession. The attempt to commit a felony or misdemeanor, is an indictable offense. It is larceny to appropriate goeds mislaid, or left by mistake. A verbal release of a debt, not foun ded on a valuable consideration, will not bar an action. Guardians, if practicable, must lend out the money of their wards, on good security, and must collect the interest annually. Any one who takes possession of a ml nor '6 estate without authority of law, may be held liable as a guardian. The voluntary concurrence of com petent minds is required to make a val id contract. If deception be practiced, by either of the parties, in a material matter, or cither be so intoxicated as to be uuable to comprehend the nature and effect of the transaction, this invalidates the contract. The father is the natural guardian and custodian of his children; but. iu case ol separation, their custody may be given to the mother, if the father is, from any cause, unfit for their control, or unable to support them. An action for the recovery of specific property may be brought without giv ing the bond specified in the Code, when the simple question of title is tried, and the possession of the proper ty left undisturbed. Ignorance of the law is no excuse lor the commission of crime, but ignorance of facts may render a civil contract voidable. There is no wariauty of title at an administrator's sale, but a personal representative is bound to make to the purchaser a valid conveyance of such title as bis decedent had. He is liable, personally, for all damages arising from his failure to follow the law. It is a violation of the law for the occupyers of lands, under a commou fence, to turn their stock within the general enclosure, during the cropping season. The party so offending com mits an indictable oflense, and is civilly liable fo.' all damages that ensue. If an administrator o- executor give a note, or make any other contract in his representative capacity, which the law docs not authorize, he fails to bind the estate, but is individually liable upon the same. The law presumes that every person intends to do that which he does. Drunkenness is no excuse for crime. A person may have his-domicil in one County or State, and his citizenship in another. Citizenship is not lost or changed, by residence abroad, so long as "the intention to return" exists. Aa unwritten will of personal prop erty is valid when the property does not exceed f500, and the bequest is made during the last sickness of the deceased. The mortgagee aud not the mortga gor, must pay the fees for recording the mortgage. The Fashion In Pistols There has never been much said in Arkansas about the pistol trade of Lit tle Rock and no explanation has ever been made of this neglect. Recently a man who views this subject through the spectacles of importance entered a hardware store, and became so much interested in a conversation about the different kinds of pistols that to give a tew points to the public may not be out of piace. Just here it may be ap propriate to remark that the man had just come from the 'Xarth' where discussions of the revolver trade are en tered into with great i-pirit by people who lielieve that the "sucking bottle" of this State shoots six times. "You have quite a lot of revolvers, I see. I am from the Xarth, and don't know much about pistols." "Y"cs," said the dealer, "we have a magnificent selection." "Have you a revolver ch amber of commerce in this city ?"' "Oh, yes; regulary organized. We meet in a church, and our President, the parson, is said to be the best shot in Little Rock. ne of the deacons threw i hymn book at him ou day, and the parson, calling the attention of the congregation to the feat lie was about to perform, drew a pistol and shot the deacon's ears tfl'. He bad a split bul ict in the pistol and arranged the shot so that the ball divided just as it rea ched the deacon's nose aud performed this wonderful piece of work. Since then his salary has been Increased. It is strange how ignorant the Northern people are." "Very remarkable indeed. I am a correspondent of a relegions paper and I'll make a note of it. What kind of a pistol do vou call this?" pointing to a large Remington. "It's called companionship. It is principally used by old friends who kill each other earnestly and mannerly It Is not recognized, though, In polite society. You rarely ever find one in a ball-room.

And this one,' be continued, taking up a pcarlhandled self-cocker' ' I shall present to my son upon his debut into society.

"It wouldn't be polite to kill a man with t only on Sunday. Here's an old horse-pUtoI. Aint she a motherly old gal, though?" Leaving off Girlhood When girls midway in their teens throw off their natural girlish habits and attire, don long skirts, skoot up their h iir, and affect the airs and dress of young women, they would often be surprised to know what their elders really think of the improvements. One such young miss went to the depot re cently to meet an aged friend of the family, and was surprised to find her self not recognized upon greeting the visitor as she stepped from off the car "Don't you know me, a in tie?', "Why, this isn't Maria, is It?" "Certainly ; don't you think I look better than I did last summer when you were here?" "Xo,"repl'ed the honest soul, look ing the girl over, "to tell you the truth, I do not. Go home and let down your hair and be young while you can, for it will not be many years before you'il be glad to have people take you (or a girl." i SCIENCE. The SMI of yvmjieu. Dr. Xicola Tiberi, an excellent naturalist, living at Rcsina. close to the site 01 i-ompen, has recently published a remarkable and well written memoir on the shells fouud in the ruined city. 1 he point or view to which he directs attention is very dlflcrent from that taken by the geologist, antiquary, artist, or archi tect. He treats of the shells found in ruins, and which had served lor food, or had been used by the Pompeiaus for ornament and other purposes. We know from Athena-us and other ancient authors the inollusca were then relished quite as much as they are at the present day by the inhabitants of Italy. Dr. Tiber, gives a list ot all the shells which he noticed as Pompeian, belong in? to no less than 44 species, with par ticulars of their relative abundance at Pompeii, as well as of their distnbutiou and economy. Some were or edible kinds, as the common oyster and mussel. Others served to adorn fountains. The Oriental pearl shell was represented by a single valve only. But the ladies of Pompeii seemed to have attached con siderable value to thecowry, as amulets or charms to prevent sterility; and among these shells were some of the species from the Red Sea and the Per sian Gulf. A single specimen of another exotic shell must have been kept for its great beauty as an object of curiosity. All the shells used in tne ornamentation ot fountains, five in the city and one in the suburbs, are of species which are still common in the Gulf of Naples; and these shells are separately distinguished and named. Height of Worms. Professor Loomis, in his investigations of the pheno mena ot storms, lias ascertained that atmospheric disturbances during storms do not generally extend more than about a mile above the sea-level as they pass over Xew England.

If farmers would only prevent their land from being wornout, by using the sim ple preservative methods of growing clover, using plaster and lime aud plow ing under clover-sod at least once In four or five years, such requests as this would never need to be made. When land is wornout nothing can restore it but m mure and costly Tabor and time, it is the fable of the killing of the goose to get the golden eggs repeated. In this case it might be well to plow the ground and sow a bushel and a half ol buckwheat per acre. If any wood ashes can be procured, or a bushel of plaster per acre, we would eow it on the seed ed ground. In September the buck wheat will be In blossom. Then we would hitch a chain to the double tree and the plow-beam, and with the loop dragging In the furrow, plow and turn under the buckwheat aud leave the ground until the spring; then cross plow and sow half :t bushel of buck wheat per acre in May, and with one peck of clovcrseed per acre. The clover will probable 'take.' and as soon as the buckwheat Is ripe it should be cut, leaving a high stubble, which will still protect the clover. The clover should be permitted to fall on the ground, and' "the next year should be plowed under, and the whole process repeated; harvesting the buckwheat, however. The next crop of clover nny be cut for hay or pastured. After that orchard grass seed may be sown. Farmers' Homes. It is worthy of much thought and attention on the part of the farmers to throw suctr influence arouud their children as will attract them to country life. This aim should he well studied in winter, but should not be forgotten at other times. It -roes not require a heavy expenditure of money. Intelligence with economy is better than iguoranre with waste. First, the larmer's home and its sur roundings should be made complete. An ornamental garden and neatly plant ed dooryard should bold a prominent place in making these provisions. Workinsmen's cottages should be eco nomical in the long run, by allowing .KT head. I he lot had received per- h:ips a bushel of corn during the time. e noticed that the red clover was all kept eaten close down (there were also son s and pigs in the orchard), so that it did not get into bloom.

W hat should we say to any man who dare sow seed-weeds broadcast over our land?
