London,
London is a vast world in itself. Von
are impressed when you find yourself in it,
with its immensity; as one is impressed by
the vast reach of the ocean when lie steams
over it, day after day without a glimpse of
land, or the sight, perhaps, of a single sail.
You feel like amero atom IU this vast bil
lowy tide of human life. Cut np into
smaller communities London would make a
dozen cities equal in population to New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and San
Francisco: It contains more people than
our six populous New England States more
than the whole kingdom of Denmark, more
thah twice as many as Norway, nearly as
many as all Scotland. It is said to contain
more Jews than Palestine, more Catholics
than Rome, more Irishmen than Dublin,
more Scotchmen than Edinburg. There
are omnibuses running across the city, by
as straight a route as its cow-path streets
allow, which start before five o'clock in
the morning and barely make two round
trips before midnight. And year by year
the great city pushes out its borders, en
compassing village after village of the out
lying suburbs in its spider web of pave
ments, and water mains, and omnibuses
and busy traffic. The viiias around its
fringes, as Hare pays, seem to be constantly
making an effort to get into the countiy and
never succeeding. Many neighborhoods in
the solidly built city, still bear the names
by which they were known when they
were only little hamlets in the fields, miles
from the city gates —such as Chelsea, Ken
sington, Camberwell, Bayswater, St John's
Wood, etc It is partly because of the ab
sorption of so many villages in the great
metropolis that it is afflicted with such con
fusion in its street nomenclature. If you
wish to visit King street it is possible for
you to explore ninety-four different streets
of that name before yon find the right one.
If it is Queen street your chance of hitting
it the first time is just one in ninety-nine.
Does your friend live on Church street —
you are confronted by one hundred streets
of that name besides the one you want!
Even of John streets there are one hun-
dred and nineteen, and of New streets—
new a long while ago, in most cases—one
hundred and sixty-six! It beoomes a neces-
sity, in such cases, to give the street a sur
name, so to speak—as men began to take
surnames when James and John, and Mary
became frequent in the same circle of ac
quaintance. Streets are often designated,
therefore by adding the name of some well
known thoroughfare into which they run,
or the special neighborhood to which they
belong, as Queen street, Cheapaide; King
street, St. James Square; Church street,
Tooting: High street, Marleybone, etc.
And in any case the initials of the gen
eral division of the city are usually affixed
to the address —"E. C." for east centre:
"W. C." west centre; "8. E.," south cast;
4 N," north, etc.
Largest Sapphire in the WOIM,
A correspondendent writes as follows. I
have recently been favored with the sight
of one of the famous jewels of the world—
a stone that has its history and pedigree, and
is celebrated in the annals of the noted gems
of Europe; I have held in my hand and ad
mired beneath the rays of the sunlight the
finest sapphire that is known to exist. This
beautiful and well-nigh priceless stone com
bines in a singularly perfect degree the lead
ing qualifications of size, shape, color, and
water. In form it is flat oval, being about
two inches long by an inch and a half wide.
It is cut slightly on cabochon on top and in
to a multitude of small facets beneath. Its
hue is perfect, being a warm, lustrous
Marie Louise blue, not so dark as to show
black beneath the gaslight, but having all
the velvet softness and purity of tint that is
required in a really fine gem of this descrip
tion. Its weight is 300 carats, and it bo
longs to a noble wealthy Russian family in
whose family it has been for the past two
centuries, and it has been placed bj' its
owner in the hands of one of the great dia
mond merchants of Paris for safe keeping.
One of the Rothschild family has offered
for it no less than $300,000, but the offer
has been refused. I asked the courteous
gentleman in whose care it has been left as
to the actual value of the stone. He told
me that, being, as it was, perfectly unique,
no precise value could be set upon it, but
that he was inclined to estimate it at some
$400,000. He also shewed me a string of
enormous graduated pearls of extreme pur
ity and fineness (the center one was as large
aa a small cherry), and he told me that the
necklace belonging to the noble Russian
was composed of six similar strings of equal
beauty and exceptional size. Ihe great
sapphire was mounted to be worn as a
brooch, being surmounted with large dia
monds of twenty carats each. Its guardian
informed me that the pendant belonging to
this brooch was composed 01 & large pear
shaped sapphire weighing sixty carats, and
set in diamonds. The whole collection ©f
jewels belonging to this one family is worth
over $2,000,0001 "There is no such sap
phire as that largest one," continued my in
formant "even among the crown jewels of
Russia. I furnished myself two very
ones to the Empress, each weighing sixty
carats, but they do not compare with this
magniflceat gem." The gentleman who
apoke was well qualified to give an opinion,
ae he is one of the few great diamond mer
chants of the world, and is, moreover, a
noted expert. He it is who was recently
sent for by the Russian Government to go
to St. Petersburg to make a full estimate
of the value of the crown jewel#, and he
furnishes whatever ornaments in precious
stones are purchased by the members of the
Imperial family.

AGRICULTURE.
COLOR OF FARM BUILDINGS. —ln
pnlutiug even a shed it is juit at cheap
and easy to give it a pleasing color, as
tqmake it a blemish on the landscape.
B:\rnsand other farm buildings, paint
ed red—especially the dark Venetian
red —offer a fine contrast to the green
of (he fields and troes, and we are pleas
ed to note that the use of this color is
increasing. The numerous red build
ings of English farms are very attrac
tive to the traveler's eye; and they are
not only handsome in appearance, bat
also give an air of thrift an J perman
ency to a place, which unpainted wood,
or white or straw color do not impart.
We have one set of farm buildings in
mind, in which (lie brackets and other
trimmings are finished oil' in black,
with a most satisfj.c ory effect. The
black ilius used, gives a distinctness
and boldness to the details, and forms
with the red walls a happy combination,
and one most appropriate in its place.
Red barns and out-buildlngs are not
ra~e; these, when ot a glaring, self-as
serting red, are not pleasing, and they
are still less so, when they are, as we
oiten see Them, trimmed with white,
it is a rule of good taste in painting
buildings, to have window caps, brack
ets, and other details, darker than the
ground work or main body of the ma
terial. Why not apply the same prin
ciple to farm buildings, especially ash
costs no more, and adds to the attract
iveness and value of the structure?
For example, a brick house, with a
white marble door way, window eats
and caps, and a white cornice, will al
ways look frivolous and cheap; where
the same details are of the much cheap
er brown-stone, the house has an air of
dignity and repose, quite lacking in the
other. Other farm buildings are often
quite as conspicuous as the dwelling,
and in decorating them, quite as much
thought should be given to having them
pleasing to the eye, especially as it
need not require an extra outlay.
HUMBUGGED AGAIN.—I saw so much
about the merits ot Hop Bitters, and
my wife who was always doctoring,
and never well, teased me so urgently
to get her some, 1 concluded to be hum
bugged again; and 1 am gluil 1 did,
for in less tnan two months' use of the
Bitters niv wife was cured and she has
remained so for eighteen months since.
I like such humbugging —ll. T., St.

TAKING CARE OF THE CORN CROI*—
There is a great deal of nonsense
written in regard to cutting and shock
ing corn, tying the fodder, etc. All
kinds ot plans are suggested and all
kinds of materia! recommended to tie
with—twine, wire, hay, flax waste,
oats straw, Ac.—and elaborate instruc
tions given about aiaking the bands.
After all, there is no material better
than goodrye straw, and the best way is
to carry it to the tleld in bundles and
make the bauds as you w ant to use theui.
In •utting corn there is 110 better way
than the old one—tying two, three or
four hills together by the tops to sup
port the shock. The device known as
the "grasshopper" is very good, but
the shocks do not stand up as well as
by the other method, A devke for
pressing the shocks together before ty
ing is described in this number, and it
is au excelleut one for the boys who
have not the stature uud strength nec
essary, but a good stout mail has noth
ing but his arm.<. It is conceded by
all good lariuers that 110 work 011 the
farm pays better than saving the corn
fodder in good shape. It is the very
best kind of leed lor horses and eattle,
and even for sheep, if properly prepar
ed. Cutting up to the ground is the
speediest.method of harvesting, besides
being most economical. Topping Is a
slow process, especially if an attempt
is made to save the leaves below the
ear, and is rarely practiced by corn
growers now.

To DESTROY "EVERLASTING."— The
common weeds known as everlasting,
as well as most of the weeds which
trouble the tanner, are encouraged by
keeping land in pasture. To plough
up a piece of weedy grass laud, sow
buckwheat and then oats, sowing grass
and clover again with the oats, and
then pasturing the land, is about as
good a plan as could be used to perpet
uate the weeds. If the sod had been
planted with corn,rid the ground kept
clean, and the next year or two years
ploughed again and put iu potatoes or
beans, being all the time kept free
from weeds by hoeing or hand-pulling,
the ground might be pretty well clean
ed, and might then be sown to clover.
The clover should not be pastured, but
mown once for bay and once lor seed.
The sod might be plowed again lor
corn, and it the weeds were not de
stroyed, another crop of beans or roots
should be taken. Few weeds will sur
vive two or turee well cultivated crops,
and fewer still this proeess repeated.
THE WAY TO KEEP HOGS HEALTHY.—
Of all the animal creation the hog is
the most omniverous, yet we have con
fined it almopt entirely to corn lor gen
erations, and then express surprise at
its diseased condition. Were men to
be confined 10 one article of diet thej
would be afflicted with new and strange
disorders. I venture to say thai if we
reserve oar order of procedure and
give our hogs varieties of food, we in a
short time will expel the diseases now
destroying our herds of swine. Feed
011 clover, peas, barley, rye, and occa
sionally seme animal food, and give
them pure well or spring water, to
gether with coals, salt, ft9hes, ete., and
we will soon hear no more of cholera.
IF SUCCESS be the true tc3t of merit,
it is certainly a settled fact that

To FARMERS. —farmers are frequent
ly troubled with their wheat moulding
after it has been put into the bins. If
your wheat is damp and liable to mould,
put a few stones or bricks in the gran

take them out and if they appear damp,
put in ethers that are not moist, and at
the end of two or three days the wheat
will be perfectly dry and rattle like
shot when handled.

CHEMICAL* FOH HOUSEHOLD USE
It Is surprising, considering how ninny
women have been instructed in chem
istry in school-days, to find how lew
housekeepeis make any use of chemi
cals in various household processes.
Especially in this the case in cleansing
processes. The washing of clothes is
usually wholly accomplished hy rub
bing the clothes on the wash-boirtl,
and with no other detergent than soap.
The rubbing cl the clothes wears tlseui
out far more than use, and if house
keepers only know or If knowing, they
would take advantage of the fact, that
many washing compounds will almost
entirely cleanse clothes which are
soaked in them over night, and thus
almost entirely do away with the la
bor and wear of the washboard, wash
day might be robbed of half its terrors.
Recipes for washing tluids, the princi
pal ingredients of which are soda, ash,
ammonia, and lime, can bo found in
nearly every household recipe book and
they are very cheap and harmless.
All such washing compounds are use
ful and convenient lor cleaning wood
work, panels and carpets in a house;
also in washing dishes and securing
that desideratum of housekeepers—
clean disli clothes. Ammonia is a sim
ple, cheap ami harmless chemical, and
should be bought by the quart and kept
in every family. A lew drop* added
to water will cleanse children's hair
and make it soft and sweet; it Is an ad
mirable disinfectant to remove ttie
odor of perspiration; it will remove
grease spots irom clothing and often
restore color to stains. Its common
and frequent use can not be too fre
quently urged. Borax is another
chemical that should llml common use
in everj* family. For cleansing teeth
and sweetening tlie breath, a few
grains of the powder In water is unex
celled. It softens and whitens flannels.
Salicylic acid is a perfectly odorless and
harmless, yet powerful, disinfectant,
and for many disinfecting uses in the
household Is invaluable, it is very
cheap aud convenient in form. In
these days when to stay various forms
of disease is so important, mothers and
housekeepers would do well to give
study ami thought to these things, and
try to make their knowledge ef science
practical. It Is very encouraging to
note how many women are turning
their attention to studies in general
an applied science. Let us have its
bcnctits exemplified in the Household.

ANTI-FUNGUS PAINT.— The Thou In
dustrie Zeitung describes a sanitary .paint
for walls, ceilings and the like,' —one
which renders the penetration of fluids
or vapors impossible au i prevents the
formation of fungi, at. the same time
being of such stability that It can be
washed down with boiling water,
without injury. This paint is, essen
tially, a solution of stearate of soda in
spirit, in the proportion of about fifty
grammes of the stearate to one thous
and of sp. gr. GO. Spirituous solution
ot soap, ot ail kinds aud strength, can
be applied in a similar manner but the
stearate of soda is far preferable. The
paint is said to present an especially
handsome appearance, and in the sick
wards of hospitals, or in cattle sheds
where disease is prevalent, can readily
be mixed with disinfecting materials.

DHSSF.RT ICES, — Dessert ices are now
served in many beautiful forms, to
represent flowers, fruit, vegetables and
other tasteful objects. For these
moulds arc provided, into which the
ices, having been made as before de
scribed, are pressed. After being left
imbedded in ice for more than an hour,
the moulds are dipped in lukewarm
water to facilitate turning out, and,
having been carefully wiped to tree
them from salt, the moulds are opened,
the ice placed on a suitable dish, and
they are then rapidly painted with
carefully prepared vegetable colors, as
the nature of the case may require.
These ornamental ic*s mast have con
siderable care, but any person with or

attention to detail, may manage them.

THK OTHRR VALISE. —The other day
an omnibus full of pas tigers drove up
town fioni the Union depot at Burllng
t n, lowa, aide by able situ commer
cial traveler, named William Maceaby,
and Mrs. Winnie C. Diimbleton, the
eminent lady temperance lecturer.
When the omnibus reached the Barrel
House tlie commercial traveler seized
ills valise and started out. The lady
made a grab after him and he halted.
"1 beg your pardon," she said, "but
you have my valise."
"You nre eertaiuly mistaken, ina
datne," tlie traveler said, courteously
but firmly, "this is mine."
"No, sir," the lady replied, firmly,
"it is mine. 1 would know it anions a
thousand. You must not take It."
But tlie traveler insisted and the
lady insisted, and they ca no very near
quarreling. Preset Lly one ot ttie pas
sengers pointed to a twin valise in the
om uibus and asked :
"Whose is thatV"
"It isn't mine," said the traveler; It
is just like it, but this is mine."
"And it Isn't mine," said vlie lady;
' lie lias mine, and I'll liavo it or I'll
have the law upon him. It's a pity it'
a lady can't travel alone in this country
without being robbed of her property
in broad daylight."
Finally tiie traveler said he would
open the valise to prove hi-claim. The
lady objected at first, sny lug she did not
want Iter valise opened in the presence
of a crowd of strangers. But as iheie
was no other wny of settling the dis
pute she at length consented. The
traveler sprung the lock, opened the
valise, and the cuiious erowe bent for
ward to sac.
011 the very top of everything lay a
big tlut tlask, half full of whiskey, u
deck of cards, and one ur two things
that nobodj knows the name of.
Tee traveler was the llrst to recover
his sel(-possession and speech
"Madam," he said, "you are right.
The valise is youis. I owe yon a thou
sand Hpolo—"
But the lady had fainted, and the
traveler re-locked his valise with a
quiet smile. Early in the afternoon a
sign painter down town received a note
in a feminine hand, asking him tocoine
to tlie Barret House to mark a red leather
valise in black letters a foot and a halt
long.

She looked up Into his face and inno

"Is there plenty of room at the door?"
"Heaps of it," he eagerly uttered.

The redaction here announced in the price of The Sunday School Times
puts that paper within the reach of every Sunday-school in the land. It now bocomes,
unquestionably, the cheapest weekly paper of its size and character in the United
States. It gives 832 large pages (11x16 inches) of reading matter a year, or over
eight pages for a cent at its lowest club rate. It costs less than two oenta a week for
each member of a clnb of twenty or more persons. Schools that have been taking
other publications because the clnb rates of The Sunday School Tunes were higher
than they could afford, will not be slow to appreciate these new prices. The lewest
Tate heretofore for a clnb of less than thirty copies has been f 1.90 for each paper.
ICow the price for twenty copies, or over, is SI.OO for each paper. The redaction is
a bold one, and even the present large circulation does not warrant it, bat the change
is desirable for the due extension of its field, and tbe necessary increased circulation
is ture to come. Lower prices do not mean a poorer paper, or lees of it,—on the
contrary, it is purposed to make the paper better than ever before in all of its
departments.
Here arc the "Sew Rates. —From one to four copies, $2 each. From fire
to nine copies, in a package to one address, sl-50 each. From ten to nineteen copies,
in a package to one address, $1.25 each. Twenty copies or more in a package to one
address, SI.OO each, These prices include postage, which is prepaid by the publisher.
Subscriptions will be taken for any portion of a year at yearly rates. While the
papers for a club must be sent in a package to one address, the publisher desires to
have for reference the names of all the subscribers. He, therefore, reqnirtw thai
each club subscription be accompanied with a list of the names and addresses of
the persons who are to use the paper.
Superintendents will remember that they can try the paper in their schools for a
portion of a year at the yearly rate. Twenty teachers can be snppiied for three
months for five dollars. Why not begin now? '• " •
Any reader of this advertisement, who has never been a subscriber to The
Sunday School Times, can roceive it on trial every week for three months fbr
twenty-five cents. Send also for a free specimen of The Scholars' Quarterly, a forty
four-page scholars' lesson help, containing A colored map, beautiful illustrative
pictures, and a great variety of valuable lesson matter. Address,
JOHN D. WATTLES, Publisher, 725 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, Pa.
