Besides bedside instruc- tion from the house staff and lectures from the surgeons and physicians on points connected with the care of the sick, lessons in banda ging snd the cook- ing of invalid fare are given, and con- stant prac tice in the nursing of surgical and medical cases is kept up.

Now timber is sawed and not hewed; mortises and tenons are machine cut; houses are built by the | shinglers, the lathers, aud the joiners, as well as by the carpenters: and the doors, windows, window and door frames and sashes are factory built, The horseshoer does nothing else. The forger of steel seldom works in iron. The tool maker is nothing but a tool maker. The machinist is a bench man, a lathe man, a planer, a fitter, or he has a speciality in cotton machinery or woolen, or never works but on steam wachinery. THE SALVATION ARMY, Its Method of Work What It las Done, Tits Ovigin Persons who have had scoess to the journals during the past two years, have been frequently with the graphic descriptions of the doings and progress of n religions. organization known as Army." Now that a detachment of the army has come into our midst, with ways and methods of work so sharply in contrast with ow own modes of evangelion! work, and as thi y Ave likely to be of In arensing interest fo enst some time fo come, it may not he amiss to give the readers of the Mati a brief his tory of the origin of this singular organ ization, with some account of what it already done, and what it proposes or three struck given an ohiect Evening country. The founder of the organization and present head of it, or generalissimo, is Rev. William Booth, an ex-Wesieyan Methodist clergyman, of London, Eng land. He is a man of rare tenderness and sensibility of heart, and was deeply moved for the degraded and criminal classes which crowd some parts of the city, and whom it seemed impossible rench through any of the ordinary methods of he church. So deep was his interest in these wretched classes, and such his de termination ro do something for their salvation, that he requested the confer. to make this a special work, and him to the charge of it. This, however, the conference declined to do, and assigned him instead to a country charge. With his whole soul absorbed with this one idea the result may easily anticipated. He withdrew from the conference, and, alone and unaided, took up the work upon which his heart was set. He went among the lowest slums, he visited freely the vilest dens and to the most wretel hed and degraded refuse of humanity-—so steeped in vic and erime that all semblance of hu auanity seemed to have faded out « hem—he freely offered the salvation ol ( ‘hrist to all who would accept it, The vile, the eriminal, the hored insinand the refuse of the alleys and dens heard with astonishment, for the first time in their miserable lives, words of sympathy and kindness. They could hardly trust their ears as this new lan. guage fell upon them, They crowded around him by hundreds and thousands, and followed him wherever he went. Nor was it the ** bread of life" alone that he gave them; like the Divine Master who, nearly nineteen hundred years ago, went about doing good to the bodies and souls of men, so he dispensed also, when it was n the bread that perisheth, The result was that in a short time hun- dreds were converted, It now became the great question how to secure these converts and utilize them in the further advancement af his great work. It would be of no use to bring into ope ration the ordinary chureh machinery in their case. It would not hold them a single day. They were a * pecul ia people,” had led peculia lives, and had peculiar modes of thought. Their lives had been different from the lives of other men and women. 0 Assign ha ix ' wre tched, oo fed, Their them sen the startling and the out-of-the-way, and so it was necessary in their case that some extraordinary and nove method should be de eniist and hold them. It is easy how to a mind and temperament like that of Mr. Booth who, in the course of his work had many a hard fight with the archad- versary, and whose mind was tall of the militant figures of the Soriptures, the of a mil ary organization, or a ing Christian army should suggest gradually the organiza tion grew into the Salv ation Army its battalions, tachments, its processions and banners ‘and musio, its captains and companies, its orders and lamations, and all the attractive et ealeuiated by thelr very to draw the attention of those to whom all ordinary attractions had bec ome bhlase. The success of Dr. Jooth's organization is evidenced by the fact that the Salvation Army now con- sists of 195 carps and stations with 179 officers wholly employed in its labor, while privates are numbered by tens of thousands.

At any rate, thre is one great lesson being taught the church, and Christian philanthropists generally, in he and success of the Salvation Army, and that is, if the lower classes are ever reclaimed and bronght to Christ, it must be by going down to them with the gospel. The angel must down into the pool before waters can be troubled, And another truth taught is, that even the jowest and vilest can thus reached; that they thirst for human sympathy, long for something better, and are ready eagerly to accept it when honestly offered and in the right way: New York Eveming Mol. wo to see vised id eid fight itself; and so ue si) east LONsIs ness i the ¢ 4 . { tOWns ana It the lnvors suspe anid Tiep At ti it siep Li be ———— A Wasp of Brains, Ever since | was a little boy I have frequéntly noticed that the nests of mud wasps when broken in upon, would shell out a of dissected spiders and other like insects in smaller proportion. 1 had always supposed a wasp would hardly want anything to do with a good, full-grown spider, for 1 {knew enough of the combativeness of the latter to presume that he would not | meekly submit to the sacrifice of his progeny to satisty the appetite of a wasp.

TI Flat-Boat Life on the Ohlo. During the past winter there were from thirty to fifty families, comprising ahout one hundred persons, residing in what are known as ‘family boats,” at Cincinnati.

A family boat, at its best, is by no means a comlortiess dwelling. At its best it is high and dry, “shored up,” so as to be level, .as a tight roof, and is divided into two rooms, lighted by half-windows. Of course it is warm, for the shore is strewn with driftwood ; and to he the possessor of a good axe is a guarantee of comfort from a good fire. But a good boat is not the rule, ana the heavy rains, ora freshet in the river, finds them but poor substitutes for homes. There is scarcely a family without at lenst three children. They are all from otlier parts. Several are from far up the river, one or two from West Virginia, » number from Kentucky, while several have chosen this mode of living because it is economieal, * no rent to pay,” and in summer time far preferable to back rooms in tenement houses. Sometimes a family in Pennsylvania, intending to emigrate, will purchase a boat, place in it their household goods, and start down the river. Whatever their original destination, they may ** beach ” the boat and stay from six months to three years at some point between Pittsburg and Louisville, As a rule, the boats are merely places of residence, Occasionally a boat doe. voted to the bone business toucues the shore When this is the ease, iL is us- ually accompanied by a second craft for the use of the fiumily~ a home among the bones picked up along the shores of the river not being considered favorable to digestion.

Notes for the Farm. If you are troubled about the grain chest with mice, watch for their holes and scatter a little Copperas in them. A few grains will drive them away. If your horse is troubled with scralches mix up a little saltpeter and lard and put upon the sore part, renewed daily until cured. Keep clean by using castiic soap. Professor Dana savs a cow will make about seventy pounds of manure a day, or twelve tons a year, This inc ludes hoth solid and liquid, and is worth from #1 10 $3 a ton, It is generally conceded that sweet corn makes the most and best relished fodder for cows. The first mote, but nothing in proportion to benefit to the dairy. The dairy stands in need of nothing more than a mechanical milking ma- chine.

Having cut down some tomato vines he used them as a mulch around his reach trees. He soon dis. covered that the curculio, which was destroying his fruit, had abandoned the trees surrounded by the tomato vines, Following up this accidental discovery, the free use of tomato vines proved » perfect protection, not only against the curculio. but other noxious insects, The American Cultivator be a comparatively slow operation to milk one cow in five minutes, while on the other hand ten minutes time might be ealied a quick operation in milking another.

Always milk so that the operation shall be a ple asqant one to the docile ani- mal, affording her relief in the careful emptying of a full bag of its contents, Where care and gentieness are the rule in this particular, the cow will welcome the coming of the milker as the approach of a friend.
