How to Make Hot Beds. Pf)Tid4 a quantity of fresb horss mi nnre arid add this, when practicable, one-third oT 1-a bulk la leaves. Mtz thoroughly, tramp dowa and formula a Urgi pile. Iq twy or three dijs fer mentation will be apparent by the es cape ot steam from the heap. Now turn agaio, and allow the heap to ret main two or three days longer, or until the second fermentation begins. Mike an ezeaTatioo, or pit, two and a half feet deep, and of a size suited to the nnmber ot plants required. The pit will be belter If buHt np of brick. It should be made In some dry, sheltered spot, facing the sooth or east It possi ble Hot bed sashes are usually six by three feet, and onesaab wil! generally give early plants enough for a large family. The frame sashes should be eighteen inches high at the back and twelve inches Ic front, which will give the proper slope to catch the sunlight. Cross pieces should be placed for sashes to elide on, to facilitate opening aud shutting the frames. When everything is ready the maoo.ro is placed in the pit and trodden down firmly In layers to the required depth, two to two and a half feet. Then put on the sashes, and keep the pit closed until the beat rises. At first it will probably be 100 or more, which Is too hot to sow the seed In ; but in two or three days it will sub side to W- or a Mttle less.Kben the soil may be put on to the depth of six to eight inches. The heat may be read ily ascertained by plunging a thermom eter in the manure. The soil should be of well rotted sod (or common garden soil will do), mixed with about a third of One old manure, and In this the seeds may be sown thinly in drills two or three Inches apart, and afterward (aa aoon as out of the seed leaf) either thinned out or transplanted to another frame. Air moat be given evary mild day by raising the sashes at the back. Water with tepid water whenever necessary, and during cold nights and storms keep covered with straw mate or board shutters. Tomatoes, peppers and egg plants should be sown In a separate frame from the cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce, as they reqaire more beat than the latter. The same diiections may apply to hot beds made on the sur face of the ground, except that the ma nure should be ai least a foot wider on all sides than the frame. Tillage Life on the Congo. Many of the villages on the npper Congo consist merely of fifty or sixty log huts, two-thirds of the population being generally women. In many dis tricts women ate considered as curren cy, their value increasing as they attain a greater degree of corpulency. Each women has as many metal ornaments as she can wear, some composed of Iron, others of brass and copper. These ineUIs lire the money of the country, so that the more a womaa can heap upor herself the greater becomes ber value. Each chief has as many wives as be can afford to boy or marry, which is only auother form of purchase. Early in the morning few of these women are to be found in the villages, as they start off at daybreak to work in their plantations, and do not return nntil about noon. However, a few always Lave to remain to attend to the neces- sary domestic items of life, such as cooking and their toilet. These Cen tral Africans are very particular In all items In cocnection with their toilet, which consists of plaiting their hair, shaving off the eyebrows, pulling ont the eyelashes, cutting their nails right down to the quick, and besmearing their bodies with a mixture of palm-oil and camwood. In another part of the village are seen some of the villagers engaced in making tiihlog-nets and basket-work, and being helped by the young boys of the vil.age, who become initiated Into these crafts at a verv early age.

Ilusaey, the asaiatant secretary of the Interior, has a somewhat novel uae for newspapers. The other day when the weather was sharp be was prefartcg to go ont of the department building for lunch. A Wasbiogton St'tr reporter who happened to be In the room at the time was surprised to see him unbutton the lower buttoos of bis est, fold np a newspaper ltd, placing it over his abdomen, button the vest over It. "I always do that," be said in reply to a surprised inquiry from the rs porter, "when I am going to be out 10 the cold. The newspaper is a non-conductor of heat, aad when placed over the stomach preserves trie supply In what baa been called the reservoir of beat of the body. A newspaper is a good substitute for an overcoat, and in cold weather la the best device that people with scanty wardrobes can adopt. Insuffie'ent bvdclothiog can be rein forced in the same way, and the news paper may be said to be the poor man's friend In more senses than one. When chilled ly sudden cold a newspaper placed over tn. stomach aoon restores tne normal temperature of the body and prevents an attack of pneumonia. I have frequently recommended this uae of newspapers, tut I Cud that practi cally ery few people really appreciate its value."

A New York dispatch of February 23, ays that John Jacob Astor, the bead of the richest family in America, died suddenly at bia borne in that city at 4 o'clock Saturday moroicg. Deceased was C5 years old and bis wealth was es timated at $200,000,000. William Waldorf Astor. the only son, will in herit the bulk of the fortune and will succeed bis father as bead of the Astor family. The deceased was the grand son of John Jacob Astor. one of the nu merous children of a peasant of Waldorf, Germany. lie came to America when Great Britain acknowledged the inde pendence ot the colonies In 17S3, and for a time worked in a baker shop at 2 a week. lie afterwards pot a pack on bis back and traded gew Raws for fnrs with the Indians, in which busi ness and other cunning devices, yet known and practiced by tin pack ped dlers, he amassed wealth and invested It in real estate in New York city when this property was cheap. By the in crease of valne in the land It is now valued at about S250.000.000, of which the latest John Jacob held $200,000,000. Moral : If yoa respect wealth don't spore the pack peddler from your door; on the contrary receive him with open arms and let him cheat yoa. For. ob serve, that the man with a pack on his back, and plenty of cunning in bis eye, and avarice thoroughly developed, may be the founder of the ieading family" of a commercial metropolis of one hun dred years hence. Of each are many leading" families In a country where wealth is uppermost and merit alone is a handicap that relegates the possessor to a back seat, away out of sight of the front occupied by the nobility of the re public. The probability that if there have been any Indians at the ear of St. Peter the original John Jacob has not felt the need or furs be dealt in while on earth in the quarters be baa occupied ic death. Mo Thieves In Trail Street Inspector Byrnes, in his Professional Criminal of America, gives a list of one hundred backs which thieves either ri fled or attempted to rob between No vember, 18G2. and February. 13S5. Ten of these were in the city of New York. Owing to the thoroughly efficient de tective system established In Wall street, the depredations of the bank sneaks have been summarily ended in that locality. These daring vlilians are "all meu of education, pleasing ad dress, good personal appearance, and are faultless in their attire. Cool. quick, resolute, and acting in concert, one may be on the lookout, a second en gaged io Interesting conversation with a bank officer or effleers, and a third stealthily creeping behind the counter and eaptnring the cash or a bnndle of bonds. Or the last may obtain access to the vault, from which be purloins whatever be may deftly conceal or car ry off, while bis confederates monopo lize the attention of the clerks. One of the most daring bank snatcbers in the city effected two robberies in the coarse of a single day. Entericg one bank ba leaped to the top of a partition seven feet bigb, leaned over, snatched two packages of bills containing $1,000 each,- and escaped. A little later he climbed on the counter of another bank, captured several thousand dollars, and again escaped. Similar success attend ed the eold miscreant In hie subsequent attempt to escape from the Court of General sessions. He Is now in jail. Eatlai; the first Ojster. r " Itjh as been ofttn said that he mas have been a bold man who first ate an ojster. This Is said Id ignorance of the lrgerjd Wilch assigns the first act ef ojster eating- to a verj oataral cause, It is related that a maa, walking one daj. picked up one of these savorj bi valves just aa it was in the act of gap ing. Observing ,tae extreme smooih ness of the interior ot .the shells1 be in serted bis finger between them that he might 'feet their shining surface, when soddealj tbej closed upon the exploring digit with a sensation less p asurable than be anticipated. The prompt withdrawal of his finger was scarcely a more naturaJ movement thr.n Its transfer to his moatb. It is not verj clear wbj people 'when ibey hart their fingers pat them- into rtheir mouths ; but.it is verj .pertain .thjtt thevdo ; and in this case the result was most fortunate. ' ' The owner of the finger tasted the ojster juice for the first time, as the Chinaman in Ellas' essay having burnt his finger first tasted crackling. The savor wa. delirious ; be bad made a great discovery ; so he picked op the ovsters, forced open the shells, bario queted upon their - contents, and soon wrought ojster eating into fashion. And,- unlike moat fashions, it has never gone, and is never likkelj to' go ont. Haw bold Rings are Bade. Gold rings are made from bars nine to fifteen laches lens:, two inches wide and tbresixtenths of an Inch thick, is worib 11,000, and will make 300 four pennyweight rings. A doxen pro cesses and twent j minutes' time are required to convert this bar Into mer chantable tings. First a pair of shears cats the bar into stripe ; then bj the torn of a wheel a guillotine-like blide attached to tbo machine cats the bar into slices, one, two, or tbreesixtentba ofanlncb wide. A rolling machine next presses out tha slices and makes them either flat or grooved. Each atrip la then pnt nuder a blow Dine and annealed. The oxide of copier comes to tha surface, and is pat into a pickle of sulphuric acid, after which the ring is stamped 14k," "lCk," or "lSk," according to quality. Next it is put through a machine whicb bends it into the shape of a ring of the eiz desired. The ends are then soldered with an alloy of Inferior fineness to the qualit j of the ring. Many people think that rings are molded because they cau't bee where tLey are soldered. The ring spins through the turning lathe. Is rounded, pared, and polished.

Except in the ixtreme North fowla seem to Buffer more from dampness than from cold ; therefoie in buUding a poaltry honae care sbou'd be taken to select a dry locality, on the South side of a bill if possible, where a'.l the rain can run tff natuially. Such a p'.ace could be made a model poultry yard. proTidf d a wind-break be planted to ward the cortb atd west, and plenty of fruit trees on the other two sides to furnish shade, and frnlt for the fowls in summer not toj many, else they will make the ground damp and tin wholesome ; the sun should be able to shine on erery foot of it several hours each day. Do not let the fowls bare access to any low places where the water stands after a rain ; they are eo fond of variety that they will leave their clean drinking troughs to slake their thirst at the most impnre and un inviting mad-puddle. Like children. the only way to keep them healthy ia to pnt all bnrtfnl things ont of their reacb. The jard should be swept now and then, the hen bouae cleaned'once a week, and the mannre carried off to a place where the fowls haye no access. If the poultry boose has no dcor, eggs will batch better if the nes'.s are made directly on the ground ; scoop out the earth to the requisite slz. and line with a handful of soft grass or leaves. Made n this way the embryo chicks will not only absorb enongb moisture to sustain life, bnt the eggs will escape the danger of being shaken every time the ben flies upon the shelf to return to ber nest. If, however, the poultry hoase contains a floor, then make the nests on low shelves having strons, steady supports. They should e constructed so as to be easily taken apart and thoroughly cleansed ; station ary nests are not so good, neither is it advisable to have two of them fastened together. As is often the case, the simplest and most inexpensive ones are preferable. A very good plan is to have boxes about six Inches dep. with neither to nor bottom, placed on a board one or two feet from the floor. This arrangement costs so little that one can afflord to have two sets and keep one out ennniDg all the time. A bandfnl of trashy tobacco, stalks or sterna, placed in the bottom of the nest, will prevent the vermin from tronbline the sitting bens, and immediately afUr the first hatching the old nest should ba removed and replaced with a new one. I am satisfied that a neglect of this precaution Is the reason wby eo many setting bens die on their nests. How to Make Lire Happy. Take time ; Ii '.a no nse to foam and fret, or do as the angry housekeeper who has got bold of the wrong key, aod pushes, sbakea and rattles it about the lock nntil both are broken and the door Is still nn opened. The chief secret of eomfort lies In not suffering trifles to VrX yon and in cultivating our undergrowth of email pleasures. Try to regard present vexations as yoa will regard them a month hence. Since we cannot gt what we like let as like what we can get. It is not riches. It is not poverty, it is human nature that is the trooble. The world is like a looking g'ass. Laugh at it and it laughs back ; frown at It and it frowns back. Angry thoughts canker the mind and dispose it to the worst temper in the world that of fixed malice and revenge. It is while In this temper that moat men become criminal. Show your sense by saying much In few words. Try. to speak some kind word or do some kind deed each day of your life. Yon will be ample repaid. Stt your work to song. Beauty ef an Egyptian Landscape. I can hardly descrbe the beauty of Egyptian landscape, says Frank Car penter, ic the American Agriculturist. There are no fences, and the farms aud fields are separated only by the charac ter of the crops and the canals. There are no bams nor bouses in the fields, which are so small and so rich in their crops, that they make the whole country look like a vast garden. Every thing grows like the famous gourd of Johnab. The patches of clover bend their heads over the weight of sweet ness, the cotton in the patch bursts fortb In Its pods of whiteness, and buds of heavy green point out the rich com ing harvests of beaus. There are few trees to be seen, only here and there a cluster of tall palms marks the site or a mud farming village, and a grove of date trees reminds yoa that yoa are in the tropica. Sharp Trading. A gentleman, seeing too sharpers, and wishing to know who made the best bargain, asked one : How much did you tell the horse for Sam ? 'Five dollars. V. "Oh, Sam. how could yoa do that ?' Ob, the horse is lame, sir." The gentleman then said to the other sharper : How coald you buy that borse,Jim? It la lame." Jev r you mind ; it is only the bad shoeing that makes It lame." The gentleman then called Sam again : "Sam, the horse is not lame, only badly abod." 'No. sir ; I only Lad It badly shod to deceive the buyer." The gentleman spoke to Jim again : "Say, the shoe was badly put on to deceive yoa." "Yoa never mind, sir ; Shllwb'a teatampflen Care.
