punctuation is peculiar to the mod j
crn languages of Europe, It was whol
lyunknown to the Greek3 and Romans; 1
and the languages of the Eat, al
though they have certain marks or i
pigos to indicate tones, have no regn
lar system of punctuation. The lto- j
mans and the Greeks also, it is true. :
had certain points, which, like those (
cf the language3 of the East, were '
confined to the delivery and pronun-j
ciation of words : but the pauses were j
indicated by breaking up tha written
matter into lines or paragraph, not by
maiks resembling those in the modern '
system of punctuation. Hence, i;i the ,
responses of the ancient oracles, r,t:su
were generally written down ty wie t
prics',s an 1 delivered to the inquirers, j
the ambiguity, doubtless intentional, '
which llewant of punctuation involved, j

Few persons have any conception of
the amount of timber destruction go
ing on in the country. It has been
carried to such an alarming extent
that legislation has been invoked to
prevent the destruction of our forests
in some States, as well as io give en
couragement toward the planting of
timber beltu In pleading for the pro
tection and perpetuation of forests, the
LiimbernifuVs Gazette gives some in
teresting particulars of the amount of
timber consumed every year in U1I3
country. We have now, it says, about
90,000 miles cf railroad; the annual
consumption for ties or sleepers alone
is 40,000,000. or thirty years' growth
of 15, 000 acres. To fence t hese roads
would require at least 130,000 miles
of fence, which would cost $45,000,
000 to build, and take at least $15,
000,000 ar.nualiy to keep in repair.
We have 75,000 miles ot wire, which
requires in its putting up 800,000
1 trees, while the annual repairs must
take 300,000 more. The little insig
nificant lucifer match consumes nn
nnallv in its manufacture 300,000
cubic feet of the finest pine. The
bricks that are annually baked require
vf rl- ?r"
acres. Shoe pegs are quite as im
portant an article as matches or bricks,
and to make the required annual sup
ply consumes 100,000 cords of timber,
while the manufacture of last and boot
trees takes 500,000 cords of maple,
beech and birch, and about the same
amount is required for plain stocks and
and the handles of tools. The pack
ing boxes made in the United States
in 1874 amounted to $12,000,000, while
timber manufactured into agricultural
implements, wagons, etc., is more than
$100,000,000. The farm and rural
fences of the country consume an im
mense amount of lumber and timlcr
annualiy, but as we grow older as a
nation, this consumption may, and
probably, will, be reduced by the more
jreneral use of live fences or hedges.
Our consumption of timber is not
only daily on the increase, but our ex-j
ponauon oi umucr is also rapidly in
creasing. Our staves go by the million
to France annually, walnut, oak, m:p!e
and pine to England, and spars and
docking timber to China and Japan.
Medical Virtues of Onions. A
mother writes: Once a week invaii
alily mikI it was generally when we
had cold meat minced I gave the
children a dinner which was hailed
wil ii rlpllo'lit. mul IrxiL-eil forirni'il tr
I ii, : . -f . l : l i ,.ci.,.:i i : n-i '
i.n.-p ,i iiiMicu ui iiuncu unions, l lie
little things knew not that thev were
taking the best of med'eine for expcli
ing wliat most children s-jfler from, 1
worms. Mine were kept free 'iv this I
remedy alone. Not only boiled onions
for dinner, but chives also they were '
encouraged to eat with their bread
anl butter, and for this purpose thev j
had the tufts of chives in their little :
garuens. il was a medical man who
j taught me to eat boiled onions as a :
j specific for a cold in the chest. lie
i did not know at the time, till I told ;
him, that they were good for anything !
j else.
j The above appeared in the Lnnenstei
Tf-?c Era a few days ago, and having ;
fallen under the eye of an experienced
physician of that county, he writes as '
follows :
i The above ought to be printed in
letters of gold, and hung up beside the
table, so that the children could read
it, and remind their parents that no
family ought to be without onions the
whole year around. Plant old onions,
sliced, in the fall, and the3' will come
at least three weeks earlier in the
spring than by spring planting. Give
children of all ages a few of them raw,
as soon as they are fit to he eaten ; do
not miss treating them witli a mess of
raw onions three or four times a week.
When they get too large and strong
to le eater, raw, then boil or roast
them. During unhealthy seasons when
diphtheria and like contagious diseases
prevail, onions ought to be eaten in
the spring of the year at leas once a
day. Onions are invigorating and
prophylactic beyond description. Fur
ther, I challenge the medical fr.itei nitv
j or any mother, to point out a place
wnere children have died from diph
theria ot scarlatina, etc., where onions
were not freelv eaten.
Fecundity of the Queen Bee.
Baron Berlepsen, in several different
experiments made to find ont how
many eggs are daily deposited by the
queen bee, discovered that she laid 1.
G04 eggs in 24 hours, as the result of
the first. In the second, she deposited
on. an.nverage of 1,91.3 dailv, for the
spi.ee or twenty da vs. In the third
e n i .1 -i '
V,,c' tt,J average Ol 2,iUU UH1V Was ;
lounJ for the same length of time. In
the fourth, she deposited 3,021 in 24
hours. She Tas seen by him to de
posit six eggs in one minute. A
writer in the XaJional Lice Stock
Journal states that a gentlemen told
him, at the Illinois State Fair, that he
had known a queen to deposit an aver
age of 3,800 egg daily for several
days. As to his own experience, he
had known 1,500 eggs to be deposited
within the short space of four hours.
