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

ORANGE FIK.— B-.at to a cream one
halt cup of sugar with a tablespooulul

lour eggs, tne grated rind aud juice oi
two oranges,aud then the whites ol the
egg*, beaten stiff; bake with one

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

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.

ON the Atlantic train for Bradford

ill-favored man respouded that half a

"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

"Here, hub, 1 thought green grapes

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.

Mr. J.Gwyn Jtffteyi has been examin
ing the collections of mollusca made
during the expedit'ons of the British
ships Lightuing and Porcupine n the
North Atlantic, and, by comparing the
facts thus disclosed with others else
where developed, has come to some
luteiestiug conclusions, borne of the
shells lived only at depths of between
9600 and 10,000 feet; but the very same
species had been discovered in a fossil
state at a height ol more than 2000 feet
In bicily and Calabria. 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. Etna (10,870
leet) above the level of the Mediterra
nean. His observations of the post
tertiary deposits generally in Europe,
Asia and North America forced him tc
question the permanence, or even the
antiquity (speaking geologically), ol
existing ocean basins.

Oustav Enyel has experimented upon
animal aud vegetable substances to
ascertain the principles involved in
dyeing. All the experiments agreed
In proving that the facility with which
substances absorb and retain dyes de
pends almost entirely upon physical

larity.
