The Order of the Golden Fleece. The name of the Gulden Fleece had a two-fold signification. It meant to typify the spirit of chivalrous adven ture—of going into new lands to con quer new fame—the same spirit which actuated the Argonauts of legend, who went in search of the Gildeii Fleece. But there was also the religions idea. The Savior has been represented under the form of a iamb. To win llis re demption by "knightly" deeds, in the ?Mst signification of that uoble wor , was obviously an object of the new so ciety of chivalry. High privileges were early conferred on the Knights of the Fieece,whose number was orig inally limited to thirty-one. When the Couuts of Egmont and Horn were illegally executed under the rdgn ol Philip 11. on account of the stand they made for the liberties of their country, they both appealed against the seut encc, alleglug, among other reasons, that as Knights of the Fleece. they had the right to b3 tried by their brother knights. After the warol the Spanish succession, which left a Bourbon on the throne of Sp&lu, there arose u dis pute between the Emperor and the King of Spain as to which of them had the right to the sovereignty of the or der. The question was an txtremely complicated one. The Emperor Charles VI , as heir male of the Haps burgs, might fairly claim the knightly heritage as his right. Ou the other hand Philip of Bourbon might urge descent through an heiress md plead that imßpaln and the Low Countries the Salic law had never been recogniz ed. The matter was dually arranged through treaty, the Emperor aud K>ng of Spain being recognized as joint grandmasters ot the order, with equal power to name knights. The Austrian and Spanish badges of the order a:e almost though not quite identical in form. Etch has the well-known col lar of gold and flint-stoues, with the typical device, "Aute ferit quam flani ma micat," though the nobler legend runs —"Pretium not. vile laborem." The Archdukes of Austria and the Infants ot Spain are all, as a rule, Kulghts of the Fleece. In later years the order has been conferred with what must to heralds have appeared undue freedom. For instance, ou M. Thiers, who was not even "noble," and indeed had the sole merit ol being President of the French Republic and one of the greatest men living. Then it was that political tddlty called the Spanish republic, which betowed the distinction of the little red collar rib and on M. Thiers. The Duke of Aosto, by the way while figuring as Amadcus 1. of Spain sent the Fleece to a distin guished Oastllian nobleman, who re turned the decoration without a word. It is a waste of words to characterize the conduct of this grandee as !■; de serves. Why the foreign house of Savoy should be less entitled to respect than the foreign house of France It would be difficult to explain. The Prince ol Wales is a Knight of the Golden Fleece — 4 he only Englishman who enjoys that dittinction. 'lhe Spanish order was confened on him when he was ten years old, the Aus trian some time later. Not long ago it was whispered that his Catholic Ma jesty was rather anxious for an ex change of ribands between the Courts of S. Udefonso and St. James. He wanted the Garter lor bimself and would have conferred the Fieece on the Duke of EJinburg or ou Prince Albert Victor of Wales —perhaps on both—to secure for himself the most coveted of all decorations, without which no soverlgn feels that he belongs to the inner circle of royalty. Throwing ills Family te the Wolves. Self-preservation is said to be the first law of nature, yet there are cir cumstances in which this law should be infringed, and the safety of others take precedence of the long ng to pre serve one's life from the danger which threatens it. No one, for instance,can read, without a feeling of indignation, the subjoined incident, related by a Russian contemporary. A peasant, residing near Moscow, was traveling through a deserted part of the country In a conveyance containing himself, his wife and four children, when the party was pursued by a flock of howl ing, famishing wolves. The peasant urged the horses along at full spec', but in spite of all the wolves gained every minute on the travelers. A hor rible death seemed imminent,when the father devised a plan for personally escaping from the danger. He took his youngest child in his arras and de liberately threw it to the pursuers. This averted the danger lor a brief time, but soon after the wolves were again following the carriage In search of fresh prey. Successively the other three children were thrown to them and devoured, which enabled the man and his wife to reach a neighboring village In safety. The poor mother, who had In vain implored her husband not to sacrifice in this barbarous fash lon the lives of her little ones, de nounced the unnatural parent to the authorities. The case has just been heard, and the father acquitted, on the theory that he had the right to sacri fioe his children since hi 3 own life was at stake. The law of his country may absolve him, but every paient will condemn him. Never Forget Anytliliig. A successful business man says there •were two things which he learned when he was eighteen, which were af terwards of great use to him, namely: "Never to lose anything and never to forget anything.'* An old lawyer sent with him an im portant pa per,with certain instructions what to do with it. "But," inquired the young man, "suppose I lose it, what shall 1 do theu?" The answer was, with the utmost emphasis, "You must not lose it.'* "I don't mean to," said the young man, "but suppose I should happen to?" "But I say yen must not happen to! I •hall make no provision for any such occurrence, You must not lose it!" FARM AND GARDEN. MICK AND RABBITS GNAWING TKKKS. —Every winter the agricultural Jour nals contain inquiries a* to a remedy to prevent mice and rabbits gnawing trees and we have nearly annually an swered them. Our remedy, which we have tried with success, lias proved effectual in every instance in which it has been properly applied. It is to bandage the trees with any old cotton or woolen cloth, or very stiff paper will do. For mice,. iglit or ten Inches high will answer; for labbits, not. less than two feet. The latter standing upright can reach up very nearly two teet as far an they can reach they will gnaw. Tl e same cloth, it put away, will last for several years. Of cours the bandaging must be well done and tied to the trees securely. In gardens, where trees are sure to be found if there are any in the vicinity a good protection is to feed them with cab bagc--tllt*, or decayed heads of cab bage, offals ot rutabaga*, carrots, hay. etc. A "dead trap," baited with ap ple, will also soon clear a garden ; bur, if in a starving condition, a hall doz en rabbits will destroy fifty young trees In a single night, one winter they not only injured several young pear trees tor us, but nipped off' the tender ends of certain shrubs as clean ly as if done with pruning shears. FITS FOR VEGETABLES.— Most of our cellars are too warm for the best pre servation of vegetables, and It is. there fore, advisable to store onlv a limited quantity for immediate use, in the house, while the main stock should be kept in a cool barn cellar,or in an out door pit. Such a pit, for fatnilv use.is easily made by digging a trench about three or four feet wide and of the same depth and as long as necessary, taking care to select a situation w here water can not stand. At the approach of Winter the pit 1* filled up to the level of the ground with the roots to be win tered. Beets, turnip*, carrot.*, etc. Narrow aril.ions of soil may be placed longitudinally between tlie different kinds, so that each may be taken our separately. This dividing of the pit Into several sections has the additional advantage of making the bulk of each smaller. Large quantities or roots in one mass are liable 10 heat and do not keep as well a* smaller lots. The roots are then covered with enough soll.sav six inches, to protect them against the irosts of early Winter, When severe eold sets in, about the middle of De cember, more soil is thrown on, not less than two fe< t,overevery part of the pit, sloping off tow ards the tides, and the surface, firmly packed down with the back of a spade. With heavy soil this w ill be sufficient to turn off the rain and the snow water, but in sandy soil it is better to add an additional protection of straw, corn-stalks or boards. WHITE CHEESE.— The reports speak of a considerable increase in the make of white cheese this season. There are certain markets where nn 'ol. rod cheese is called for at higher figures than col oie 1 cheese bring*,an t that lias earned an increased make of this year. But those who prefer white cheese are more critical and require it to be without Tault when they are ready to pay the highest prico. Yet the class that pre fers this cheese is limited in number, so that the market is easily overstock ed. That appears to be the case this season, and that has placed it at a dis advantage. If this class of buyers be come supplied it is difficult to sell it for a good price on the general mark et. London and Manchester, England, take more of the white cheese than all the other markets. It is only safe as a general thing, to make that class ol goods that every body buys. The great bvxly oi buy ers prefer yellow butter and cheese, and where nature has not properly colored them the artificial color must be applied to obtain tne best prices. This year the market appears to be overstocked. LEAVES AND FKIITS.— The absolute necessity o( leaves in developing fruit is becoming well understood by culti vators, but we still see some blunders committed by those who do not fully understand tho office of these organs. The owner of a vineyard concluded he would have better grapes than his ueighbors if he turned the full rays of the 6'n 011 tlie forming and ripening bunches. He cut off most of the shouts above the bunches, and thus removed two-thirds of all the fully grown lolinge. The consequence w as, the grapes were nearly worthless a.id the vines wtre ruined. It is the foli age and not the fruit which wants the sunlight. Another instance: A tree of the Yellow Gauge plum dropped its leaves Irum leal-blight when the plum* were only two thirds grown, and with only a bitter flavor. The branches were quite bare lor some weeks, and the 11 uit was stationary. A new set of leaves then came out, the plums dnished tbeir growth and r.pened into the honeyed sweetness peculiar to that variety. VIEWS OF AN OLD FARMER.—A suc cestlul old farmer once t-a.d, that ''one acre of land well piepared and cultiva ted will produce more than two which receive only the same amount of labor used OD one. One cow, horse, inule, sheep or hog, well fed and cared for, is more profitable than two fed on ihe amount that will keep one well. One acre of grass Is worth more than two of cotton where no grass is raised. The farmer who never reads the papers, aud sneers at book furmlng and im provements, generally has a leaky roof , uroken-dowu leuces, and complains 01 bad geasons and poor lands. The farm er who is above nis business, and en i rusts to others to luauage, iu due sea son has no business to attend to." FOR storing onions, there is no bet ter place than a dry, cool, aud airy ioft,where they can be spread out thin ly, and often looked over lor the re moval ol those which may have begun to decay. Warmth and moisture are fatal to the keeping of onious, and much handliug is almost equally so * FEED the young chicks often—bread wet with rnilk is as good as any food for them. They should have water twice a day in shallow vessels. FLANT beets in a deep mellow, plia ble soil, in rows thirty inches apart. Cover the seed about an inch Uesp. When the young plants aie about au inch high thin to eight or ten inches JR the row. From an apparently very carefully conducted experiment by Prof. C. A. Young, of Princeton, N. J., it appears that the thermo-electric power of iron and platinum undergoes no variation in a vacuum. ( American Journal or Sci ence, November, 18S0), and thus modi ties, if it does not disprove, the induc tion of Exner that thermo-electric torce in general is due to the contact of the gases which bathe the metals. THE HOUSEHOLD. COCOA. — Many different kinds of cocoa are now advertised,but when the nibs are properly prepared there can be no doubt that the coco* made from them is le6S heavy and more digestible than that obtained in other ways. Bruise one fourth pound of best Trin idad coeoa nibs in a mortar, add two quarts of water and boll slowly eight hours. Then strain and pour Into bot tles. It will keep fresh for several days. lleat the quantity required for breakfast, and serve In a kettle, with a spirit lamp 1 nderneath, as It is most important that the cocoa should be hot. Bulled milk should bo served up at the same table. This method 01 preparing the cocoa enables tiie house keeper to have It always leady at hand to heat aa it quired in n lew minutes. She 1 cocoa is cheaper; It must be bo.l ed very tlowly, the pr iportlons of wa ter being onequait to a breakfast a cupful of the shell. Alter straining let tt get cold, then skiui off all llie oil, and give it another boil before serving. Another economical way of making cocoa 1* to take three handfuls of shell cocoa ami one ounce ot pounded nibs; bull iheui in water three or lour hours the day belore the cocoa is wanted. CARPLTS.— The custom of completely coveiiug iho ffoor of bed-chambers with carpets is rapidly becoming ob solete. Jn some instances, people use no carpt tat all. This extreme change is not at all desliablo. It is good to have carpets In tveiy part ol the room where the Icet must regularly be placed. It is had to have carpets in paitot the room w here the feet are nut regularly placed. These two rules govern the whole position, and the most inexperienced housewife can easily remember them. By the-e rules there should be carpet all around the bed, carjet opposite to the ward robes or chests ot crawers, carpet op posite the wash-stand, carpet opposite the dressing-table, but none under the beds, and none lor a space or two or three tect around the room—that is to say,two or three ;eet from iho walls of the room. The carpets that are laid down should be loose troui each other, each one shouid be complete in itself,so that it can he taken up to be slisk n w Ith the least liouble, and each one should he arranged to lieclo-e to the il ior, so that dust may uot easily get underneath. The advantage ol such a plan are evident. llow TO SAYK SUGAR IS PRFSKRVIXG. —Although a little late in the season tt may be well to repeal a hintolten made on the manner of using in cooliing trait. One should know that sugar ooiled with an acid, it it be but lor three miuuu s will be converted in to glucose, which Is the form of sugar found in sweet apples. One pound of sugar lias as much sweetening power as # pounds glucose. In other word', one pound of sugar stirred iu to the fruit after it is cooked and while yet warm, will make the truit as sweet as pounds added while the Iruit is Do.Jing. Save your sugar by a little chemical knowledge. WINTER SALAD.— Take two Spanish onions, well boned, and when coid cut them into slices and arrange them neatly iu a salad bowl. Four over a sauce composed of thick cream, a little vinegar, mustard and salt, aud garnish round with Leet root, which has been boiled, and when cold cut into shapes. CORN OYSTERS. — Ingtclients: Nine ears ol corn, half cup of milk, one egg. fiour, Cut the raw corn Irom ttie cob, mix it with ttie milk,salt, pepper, egg well beaten, and dour enough to uihKe a stiff batter; drop from a large spoon into boiling lard, and Iry a nice brown. ORANGE FIK.— B-.at to a cream one halt cup of sugar with a tablespooulul of butler, and add the beaten yolks ol lour eggs, tne grated rind aud juice oi two oranges,aud then the whites ol the egg*, beaten stiff; bake with one ci ust. 11 A a I) GINGERBREAD.— To one quart flour allow one pint of tuo asset*, iu which has been disolved one dessert spoonful of soda; flavor with nothing but ginger; do not handle too uucb, and 1011 and cut in any shape desired BATTER PLDOING. —Six eggs, six tabltbpouuiuis Hour, cue quart ol milk a little salt, and hail a lea-q oonlul 01 toda, or a teaspoon! ul ol bikiug pow der; bake in a buttered pan lor twenty minutes.

Tho knead ing has been slighted. Educating the Memory. M. Lecoq de Boisbaudan, late director of the Ecole Natiouale tie JDessin, in Paris, tiaiued his pupils with exUuonhoary suc cess, beginning with the simplest figures in memory. They were made to study the models thoroughly before they tried to diaw them from memory. One favorite expedient was to associate the sight memo ry with the muscular memory by making hi? pupils follow at a distance tae outlines of the liguies with a pencil IK Id in their hands. After three or tour mouths' prat: tice, their visual memory became greatly strengthened. They had no difficulty in summoning images ut will, in holding them steady and in drawing them. Their copies were executed with marvelous fidelity, as attested by a commission ol the institute, appointed in 1652 to inquire into the mat ter, of which the eminent painter, Horace Vcrnet, was a member. The pressnt blade, professor of flue arts, at University Col lege, M. Legros, was a pupil of Al. de lioisbaudran. He has expressed his in debtedness to the system, and he lias as sumed rue of bis own success iu teaching otheu in a similar way. I could mention instances within my own experience iu which the risuaiiziug faculty has become strengthened by practice; notably, one of a prominent engineer, who had the power oi recalling form wnn unusual precision, hut not color. Replying to certain inquir ies, recently, he siud that they had induced him to practice his color memory, aud that he has done so with such success that he has become quite an adept, uud that the newly-acquired power was a source of much pleasure to him The memories we should aim at acquiring are chiefly based on a thorough understanding of the objects obseived. In no case is this more surely effected than in the process of mechanical drawing, where the portended structure has to be portrayed so exactly iu plan, elevation, side view and sections that the workman has simply to copy the drawing in metal, wood or stone, as the case may be. It is undoubtedly the fact that me chanicians, engineers and architects pos sess the faculty of seeing mental images with remarkable clearness and precision. WIT AND HUMOR. A DOWN-TOWN woman got mad at tier husband the other day, and in wardly vowed ttiat she wouldn't speak to htm again, no never. And how that man did en|oy himself. A restful calm settled all over hun; he put his feet on the window sill, smoked his c gar in the parlor, went out early and came in very late, ate with his knife, brought his friends home to dinner unexpectedly, staled In bed until the lire was kindled and Inhaled more true joy than he had ever dreamed the mar ried state afforded. And that woman was dancing mad, and grew madder every day, till at last she broke out. "1 should tliink you'd be ashamed to enj >y yoursel 1 when you know I'm teoiing awfully ail the'iluie; so th<re boo, hoo," and the freshet of tears was but a preface to a deluge of talk that nearly wore the poor man ont. ON the Atlantic train for Bradford a very well known J >ker from Oil (hty was walking through a car, when he suddenly stooped down and picked up something. "Who's lost half a dollar?" said he. At ouce a dozen persons iu the oar were searching their pockets, and one ill-favored man respouded that half a dollar was miss ng Iroui his pocket,and licit! out his hand. "Was it dated I860?" said the Oil City man. ••Yes, I'm pretty sure it was." "Ami nicked on one side?" "Yes, that's mine." "You are sure ?" "Certainly 1 aai, so hand it over." He handed It over,and w hen the man looked at tho button which had been put in liis hand, ids face lengthened so suddenly it almost drove his head through his hat. II K liatl never eaten a Malax* £ ra i>e, and lie squeezed the outside of one b< - tween his thumb and linger expecting the pulp to lly Into his open mouth, like any decent sort of grape. The tough skin held, and looking at It dub iously he tossed it away, and tried an other one. This one crushed in his lingers, the juice llylug all over his thirty-seven cent necktie. With a look oi uuuUerable disgust he appealed to a street gaiuln: "Here, hub, 1 thought green grapes wuz gone by, but I'm dumeJ if they ain't selling 'eui yet. I'll give you ten cents il you'll ear these duru things." And that boy sat on a dry goods box swung his feet wcagged his laws,licked his chop 9 and earned the money, the rustic occasionally ex 'luimlng between his Iks ol uncontrollable laughter. •'Kits 'in skins an' all, durned H he don't.

A youth was charged bofore him with abstracting a handkerchief from a gentleman's pocket. Tae in dictment being read, the Bailio, ad dressing the prisoner, remarked, "1 hae nae doot ye did the deed, for 1 had a handkerchief ta'en oot o' my am pouch this vera week." The same Magister.al logician was on another occaSiOU seated on the bench, when a case ol serious assault was brought lor ward by the public prosecutor. Struck bo the powerful phraseology of tiie indictment, the Bailie proceeded to say, "For tills malicious crime ve are fluid half a iuiuia" Tne Assessor remarked tbt .ne ease had not yet been proven. "Then," said the Mag istrate, "we'll Jut mak'the line live shillings."

An ingemout drilling machine has been devised ior enlarging the lower or Inner ends of holes for blasting purposes, so as to admit a large charge of powder being place ! at one point. To aoooruplish this a tube Is employed which has its upper end provided with screw threads, on which is screwed a jaw nut, and upon the end of the tube is screwed a cap, having radial arms. Through tlieoenire of the cap Is passed a rod, havlug a thumb nut screwed on its upper end; ibis roil extends down to the bottom of the hole, and its lower end is forked and has a curved bit or cutter pivoted thereon. The latter project* through a hole In the side of the tube at the lower end, and within the tube is a slotted guide piece which prevents the cutter being drawn up with tiie tube. After tiie usual hole has been drilled, this instrument Is lu* serted iu tiie hole to any desired depth and then rotated. By screwing down the thumb nut the cutter is gradually fed outward through the slot, thus making au enlarged chamber at the bottom of the hole, so as to appiy an increased charge of powder.

These mol luscan fossils then had lived at one time 11,00J or 12,030 feet lower than their position when found, or, in other words, had been sent up from oca : depths a much greater distant than the present height of Mt.
