TUB MIACK AT SCHOOL.
A district r cbool, hot far owny,
'Mid Berkshire bills, one winter's day,
Was humming, with its wonted noise
Of three score minded (rlrla and boys,
Pome few upon their tasks Intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent.
The wbilo the master's downward look
Was fastened on a copy-book,
Rose fchnrp and clear a routing smack,
A 'twere a battery of bliss
Let ofT In one tremendous kiss t
"What's that?" the startled master cries.
"That, thlr," a little Imp replies,
"Was William Willith, if yon plcnttic
I saw him kith Thnthauna Pent be 1"
With frown to make a statue thrill,
The master thundered, " Hither, Will I"
Like wretch overtaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung bis head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A treat, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun.
With smile suppressed and birch upraised,
The threatener laltered, " I'm amazed
That yon, my biggest pupil, should
Bo guilty of an act so rude I
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to'tf"
" 'Twos she, herself, sir I" sobbed the lad;
" I didn't mean to be so bad;
But when Susannah shook her curls,
And whispered 1 was 'fruid of girls,
And dursan't kiss a baby's doll,

But np and kissed her on the spot.

HOW TO LIVE LOG A'D TYELt.
A Letter from Mr. Bryant He Describes
his Mode of Life.
From the Herald of Health.
New York, March 30, 1871.
To Joseph II. Richards, Esq. Dear Sir :
I promised some time since to give you
Some account of my habits of life, so far
at least as regards diet, exercise, and oc
cupation. I am not sure that it will be
of any use to you, although the system
which I have for many years observed
seems to answer my purpose very well.
I have reached a pretty advanced period
of life, without the usual infirmities of
old age, and with my strength, activity,
and bodily faculties generally in pretty
good preservation. How far this may
be the effect of my way of life, adopted
long ago, and steadily adhered to, is per
haps uncertain.
I rise early ; at this time of the yoar
about 5.30; iu summer, half an hour,
or even an hour earlier. Immediately,
with very little incumbrance of cloth
ing, I begin a series of exercises, for the
most part designed to expand the chest,
and at the same time call into action all
the muscles and articulations of the
body. These are performed with dumb
bells, the very lightest, covered with
flannel ; with a pole, a horizontal bar,
and a light chair swung around my
head. After a full hour, and sometimes
more passed in this manner, I bathe
from head to foot. When at my place
in the country, I sometimes shorten my
exercise in the chamber, and going out,
occupy myself for half an hour or more
in some work which requires brisk ex
ercise. Afttr my bath, if breakfast be
not ready, I sit down to my studies un
til I am called.
My breakfast is a simple one hominy
and milk, or in place of hominy, brown
bread, or oat-meal, or wheaten grits, and,
in the season, baked sweet apples. Buck
wheat cakes I do not decline, nor any
other article of vegetable food, but
animal fool I never take at breakfast.
Tea and corTee I never touch at any
time. Sometimes I take a cup of choco
late, which has no narcotic effect, and
agrees with me very well. At breakfast
I often take fruit, either in its natural
state or freshly stowed.
After breakfast I occupy myself for
a while with my studies, and then, when
in town, I walk down to the office of the
Ettninq Pott, nearly three miles distant,
and after about three hours return, al
ways walking, whatever be the weather
or the state of the streets. In the country
I am engaged in my literary tasks till a
full feeling of weariness drives me out
into the open air, and I go upon my farm
or into the garden, and prune the trees,
or perform some other work about them
which they need, and then go back to
my books. I do not often drive out,
prefering to walk.
In the country I dine early, and it is
only at that meal that I take either meat
or hsb, and of these but a moderate
quantity, making my dinner mostly of
vegetables. At the meal which is called
tea, I take only a little bread and but
ter, with fruit if it be on the table. In
town, where I dine later, I make but
two meals a day. Fruit makes a con
siderable part of my diet, and I eat it
at almost any hour of the day without
inconvenience. My drink is water, yet
I sometimes, though rarely, take a glass
of wine. I am a natural temperance man,
finding myself rather confused than ex
hilarated by wine. I never meddle with
tobacco, except to quarrel with its use.
That I may tise early, I, of course, go
to bed early ; in town as early as ten ;
in the country, somewhat earlier. For
many years I have avoided in the even
ing every kind of literary occupation
which tasks the faculties, such as com
position, even to the writing of letters,
for the reason that it excites the nerv
ous system and prevents sound sleep.
My brother told me not long since
that he had seen in a Chicago newspa
per, and in several other Western jour
nals, a paragraph in which it was said
that I am in the habit of taking quinine
as a stimulant ; that I have depended
upon the excitement it produces in
writing my verses ; and that in conse
quence of using it in that way, I had be
come as deaf as a post. As to my deaf
ness, you know that to be false, and the
rest of the story is equally so. I abomi
nate all drugs and narcotics, and have
always carefully avoided everything
which spurs nature to the exertions
which it would not otherwise make.
Even with my food I do not take the
usual condiments, such as pepper and
the like. I am, truly yours,
W. C. Bryant.
Among the recent English inventions
is a new form of steam-engine, involving
the following peculiarities of construc
tion. In a diso or wheel, mounted on a
hollow fixed shaft, are cylindrical cham
bers, in which weighted pistons work
steam-tight. The chambers are placed
in a line with each other, on opposite
idea, of the shaft, and the pistons oppo
site each other are connected together in
pairs by connecting-rods. In the hollow
shaft openings are formed, to conduct
the Bteam to and away from other open
ings in the diso communicating with
the chambers, so that the steam may be
alternately admitted to and conducted
away from them, and in doing so move
the pistons in pairs, and thus, one of
each pair may be moved outwards to
wards the periphery of the disc, and the
other inwards towards the axis or shaft,
whereby the pistons are caused to give
rotary motion to the disc
Tuo law pf Falao Vtff.mja,
It has never been the policy of the
law to punish mere lying. Legal writ
ers have sometimes maintained that
morally there is only the slishtest dif
ference between a liar and a thief ; yet
sucb is not the common opinion. Only
when lying is carried so far as to consti
tute the offence of obtaining money or
property by false pretences does the law
exert its power to punish it.
The difficulty, however, in drawing
tho line between a false pretence and a
mere lie is frequently very great.
Stephens, in his work on the criminal
law of England, says that this difficulty
is inherent in the nature of the subject,
and is one which no skill on the part of
the legislature can avoid. A recent
crown case in England strikingly illus
trates the truth of the remark.
John Ardley, the prisoner, induced the
complainant to purchase of him a chaiu
by means of fraudulently representing it
to be made of fifteen-carat gold, when in
reality the gold of which it was com
posed was a trifle over six-carat. On
his trial under an indictment for thus
obtaining money under false pretences,
the jury found that the prisoner, when
he represented the chain to be fiftem-
carat gold, knew the representation to
oe false. 1 he question before the high
er court was whether a conviction based
only on this finding of the jury could be
sustained.
Five judges delivered opinions in the
case, all in favor of affirming the convic
tion. Chief Justice Bovill carefully re
viewed the Queen against Byron, a lead
ing case on the questions of law involv
ed. It was there held not to be a false
pretence to represent that certain spoons
were " equal to Elkington's A" " Elk
ington's A" being a description of cer
tain silver spoons containing a large
proportion of silver. Such a represent
ation was regarded by the Court as
merely an expression of opinion, and
not an affirmation of a definite, triable
fact. In this case, however, the state
ment made by the prisoner was as to a
specific fact within his actual knowledge
and the judgment of the Court was
based on this fact. In the former case
several of the judges expressed the opin
ion that if the prisoner had said that the
spoons were " Elkington's A," instead of
simply that they were equal to them, tho
conviction would nave been good. Here
the prisoner had told the buyer that he
was getting fifteen carats of pure gold
for his money, when in reality he was
only getting six, and the seller knew it.
It the theory on which this case is
decided be correct, the amount of the
diflerence in value between the repre
sented quality of gold and the actual
quality would have no effect upon the
character of the offence. It must be a
definite money difference, of course, but
that is all. A jeweller who sells a four-
teen-carat chain as an eighteen-carat
chain, being aware of the deception,
would be guilty of the crime of obtain
ing money under false pretences.
It seems to us that there is a safer
standard by which to determine what
constitutes this crime, so far as it applies
10 sates ; ana mis is suggested oy a re
mark of Justice Crompton in the case of
the Queen against Byron above referred
to. He says that the statute applies
" when the thins; sold is of an entirely
different description from what it is
represented to be." This rule, if ap
plied to Arnold's case, sustains the con
viction. The prisoner professed to sell a
gold chain ; but any chain composed of
a poorer quality than twelve-carat gold
would contain more alloy than gold,
and hence would be a chain in which
some base metal predominated. This
being the case with the six-carat chain,
brings it clearly within Justice Cromp
ton's definition ; while, in the other ex
ample which we gave, the jeweller who
sold fourteen-carat as eighteen-sarat
gold would escape.
The moralist may. perhaos. well ob
ject to this ; but the law does not un
dertake to punish all offences against
morality. A large class of acts which
never as yet have been regarded as crim
inal in a legal sense would be punisha
ble if, as Chief Justice Bovill thinks, an
untrue statement as to a specific fact
within the actual knowledge of the
vendor constitutes a false pretence. It
would seem a better and more practica
ble rule to add that the statement must
represent the thing sold as essentially
and entirely different from what it ro
ally is. N. Y. Hun.
A Mud Volcano.
While returning by a new route to
our camp, dull, thundering sounds, which
Ueneral VV ashburn likened to frequent
discharges of a distant mortar, broke
upon our ears. We followed their di
rection, and found them to proceed from
a mud volcano, which occupied the slope
of a small hill, embowered in a grove of
pines. Den se volumes of steam shot in
to the air with each report, through a
crater thirty feet in diameter. The re
ports, though irregular, occurred as
often as every five seconds, and could be
distinctly heard half a mile. Each al
ternate report shook the ground a dis
tance of two hundred yards or more, and
the massive juts of vapor which ac
companied them burst forth like the
smoke of burning gunpowder. It was
impossible to stand on the edge of that
side of the crater opposite the wind, and
one of our party, Mr. Hedges, was re
warded tor his temerity in venturing too
near the rim, by being thrown by tho
force of the volume of steam violently
down the outside of the crater. From
hasty views, afforded by occasional gusts
of wind, we could see at a depth of sixty
feet the regurgitating contents. " The

The Interior or the Earth.
We suppose that Professor David
Forbes, of Eugland, knows as much
about the interior of the earth as any
man living. In a late lecture he insist
ed that all the objections brought by
geology, mathematics, or astronomy,
against the old theory that the earth is
a molten mass surrounded by a crust
about fifty miles thick, aro quite unte
nable. He would have us believe, while
the outer layer of melted matter, just
below the earth's crust, may be a kind
of glassy slag, that, not far below this
layer, a salamander bent on discovery
would find the pure molten metals, of
which the heaviest gold, platinum, eto.
would be at the earth's centre. Very
likely the mass of the earth is molten
iron ; and this view is quite corrobora
ted by the fact that the broken frag
ments of some disrupted world, which,
in the form of aerolites, are continually
falling from the sky, are often metallio
iron. But what a tantalizing thought
it is, that just under our feet are count
less tons of the precious metals, only
waiting for John Whopper to lot us
know the route by which he passed
through to China. SerWner' for May.
Refuse and Waste.
Turning to the more miscellaneous
items which afford instances of the use
of waste, we may mention vulcanized
India-rubber. At one time it was
thought the process of .vulcanization
in other words,. treating the rubber with
sulphur prevented the possibility of its
being used again. It has been discov
ered, however, that it can be reduced to
a plastio state and remannfactured.
About seventy per cent, of the waste
material is mixed with thirty per cent,
of raw gum, and the resultant rubber is
as good as that made wholly of fresh
gum. This discovery tended to cheapen
this material very much, as at the time
it was made the refuse material was
selling for 18 a ton, while the pure gum
sold at prices varying from 100 to
200 a ton.
The sawdust of various woods is now
tnrned to good purposes that of box
wood is used, for cleaning jewelry, while
mahogany sawdust is employed for
smoking fish. Birch and rose-wood
sawdust is used by furriers in cleansing
furs. In Paris common sawdust is very
ingeniously utilized. A method has
been discovered of forcing this material
into solid moulds by the aid of heat and
the hydraulic press. The sawdust thus
pressed is said to present a brilliant sur
face, which possesses great durability.
Turning our attention from the vege
table to the animal kingdom, we may
add that a beautiful and nutritious jelly
is made from ivory-dust, which is very
strengthening to invalids. This is the
only portion of the elephant that is eaten
in Eugland ; but the flesh of this animal
is consumed by the natives of Africa,
and Gordon Cumming says that ele
phants' feet are a very great delicacy.
In the search that has been made for a
new paper-making material there has
been some success. Good paper is now
made from esparto, a wild grass growing
in Spain and the Barbary coast in large
quantities. It certainly makes very
good paper, and might take the pressure
off rags, which are still rather scarce and
dear. It was imagined that when the
trade was opened with China the teem
ing population of that great empire,
dressing as it does in cotton goods to a
large extent, would be able to yield us a
plentiful supply of old rags. Those who
counted upon this source of supply
knew but little of the economical habits
of the Chiuesa. Rags were not likely to
be wasted in that country. On inquiry,
it turned out that the material in ques
tion was used up tor what purpose does
our reader think? for making the thick
soles for boots ! As may be imagined,
all waste paper is sorted the clean.
such as the shavings and clippings from
book-binders and envelope-makers, is
worked up afresh as white paper. The
fluff of cotton that is given off during
the course of manufacture is, however,
available for paper-making, and for the
manufacture ot coarse sheets and bed
covers. CasselC Magazine.
A momentous question to a large class
of people has been broached in England,
being nothing more nor less than the
proper size ot a bottle. It is said that
when a person pnrchases a pint of wine
or a quart of brandy he really receives
a less quantity put up in a bottle, which
by sufferance goes by the name of a pint
or quart bottle, as the case may be. It
is claimed that a bottle of wine ought
to be some fixed quantity, say an im
perial pint, and that the users of bottles
should be protected in their rights.
There is certainly a grievance here, and
it is to be hoped that the battle of bot
tles will go on until their size is proper
ly adjusted, though it will probably be
difficult to satisfy every body with any
uniform capacity.

FARM AKD HOUSEHOLD.
The IIens in Summed.. Hens pay.
We believe it because we have proved it.
But they need care and good feed as
much as anything else the farmer keeps.
The man who plants out an orchard,
lets the land grow up to grass and
weeds, gives it the run of the cattle, and
does nothing to make the trees grow
and produce, might be expected to say
that "orcharding don't pay." And the
farmer who expects to make hens pay by
not feeding them, by letting them have
free use of his own and his neighbor's
garden, and by not providing for their
wants will tell about the same story.
We are satisfied, however, that hens,
like cows and apple trees, will " pay " if
a reasonable amount of attention is be
stowed upon them. But they must be
confined in summer. .True, upon a large
farm they can be fenced out of the gar
den, and given the range of the estate.
About barns, yards and grass fields they
do no harm. But we have seen grain
crops, when sown near farm buildings,
so badly injured by the hens that the
amount of damage was greater than all
their profits for the season. It is safer
upon the whole to have a place for them,
even on the farm in villages and
thickly settled communities it is the
oply way to escape a neighborhood re
bellion. Build a hen house, or crovide a spe
cial apartment for their use in the barn
or some of the out buildings. They are
a nuisanco when kept confined any
where but in their own quarters. If the
former, build it for the hens, not for
yourself. Let it be well lighted, the
windows beintr upon the southern, not
the northern side. The former admits
the sun of winter, which is better for tho
hens than food. In winter it is not so
much the light the hens need as the di
rect rays of the sun. Our hens have
laid all winter. There have been but
a few days we have not had an egg to
each hen, per day. From sunrise to ten
o'clock A. if., they have had the sun
shine upon them, when there hus been
any.
In summer hens need a freauent
change of food, and to have their quar
ters cleaned out at least once a week.
Adjoining the hen house should be a
yard which they cannot fly over. The
size of this yard can be regulated ac
cording to the space there is to build it,
the number of hens kept, and the fancy
of tho owner. But however large or
small it may be, it will soon get trodden
over and filthy.
To provide for that change necessary
for the health of the hens, maka a small
movable ceop, about two feet high, four
feet wide, and ' as long as jan conveni
ently be handled. Connect this with
the main yard and let the hens run into
it. Move into a new place once a week,
that they may have a clean run, a fresh
taste of grass, and a new place to bur
row in. Give in addition to good food,
sufficient pure water.
Liastly we mention it last only be
cause we wish it to be remembered as of
more importance than anything else
get a good breed of hens. Maine Farmer.
Coffee as a Disinfectant. Coffee
is one of the best disinfectants known.
While chloride of lime, and similar sub
stances, produce a smell that is almost
as disagreeable as the stench sought to
be destroyed, coffee is just as efficacious,
and leaves a smell that is delightful to
all. Experiments with it show, in one
case, that a room in which meu( iu an
advanced state of decomposition had
been kept for some time, was instantly
deprived of all smell on an open coffee
roaster being carried through it, con
taining a pound ot collee newly roasted.
In another room, exposed to the effluvi
um occasioned by the clearing out of a
manure pit, so that sulphuretted hydro
gen and ammonia in great quantities
could be chemically detected, the stench
was completely removed in half a min
ute, on the employment of three ounces
of fresh roasted coffee, while the other
parts of the house were permanently
cleared of the same smell by being sim
ply traversed with the coffee roaster al
though the clearing of the pit continued
for several hours after. The best meth
od of preparing and using the coffee for
this purpose is to dry the raw bean,
pound it iu a mortar, and then roast
the powder on a moderately heated iron
plate, until it assumes a dark brown
tint, when it is fit for use. Then sprin
kle it in sinks or cesspools, or lay it on a
Elate in too room wnicu you wish to.
ave purified. Coffee acid or coffee oil
acts more readily in minute quantities.
Kalsomixixq and Whitewashing.
There are many recipes for whitewash
ing, but we believe the following to be
the best that can be used : White chalk
is the best substitute for lime as a wash.
A very fine and brilliant whitewash
preparation of chalk is called " Paris
White." This we buy at the paint store
at six cents per pound, retail. D or each
sixteen pounds of Paris White we pro
cure half a pound of white transparent
glue ; costing sixty or seventy cents a
pound. The sixteen pounds of Paris
White is about as much as a person will
use in a day. it u prepared as follows
The glue is covered with cold water at
night, and in the morning is carefully
heated, without scorching, until dis
solved. The Paris White is stirred in
with hot water enough to give it a
proper milky consistency for applying
it to the walls, and the dissolved glue
then added and thoroughly mixed. It
is then applied with a brush like the
common whitewash. Except on very
dark and smoky walls and ceilings, a
single coat is sufficient. It is nearly
equal in brilliancy to " zino white," a
far more expensive article. Iluihon Jte-

Professor Blot ox Coffee Makixo,
Grind the coffee, rather tine than other
wise. I think it is usually ground too
coarse. 1 use a conae pot with a niter,
You can get them at any tin store,
Mixed coffee is best. I prefer a mixture
of Java, Mocha aud Maracaibo. Soft
or spripg water is best. Proportions,
one quart of water to three ounces of
collee. Uf course, it can be made
stronger or weaker. Four teaspoonfuls
make a quart of very good coffee for
breakfast, but too strong for children.
In selecting a filter, or " coffee biggin,"
choose one with a bottom of silvered
gauze, instead of perforated tin, as the
perforated bottom lets the finely ground
coffee through. Good coffee cannot be
made in what is wrongly called a coffee
pot, wnicn has no niter, and is much
like a tea pot. Such a utensil requires
the coffee to be boiled, which ruins it,
leaving a bitter taste, and sends all the
aroma to the attio.
When the water is boiling hot, put
the coffee in the filter, and pour the water
over it, and the coffee is made. If the
water does not pass through fast enough,
set the kettle on the fire again until the
water in it boils, when pour it on again.
If all the strength is not extracted at the
first making, repeat the operation when
needed. The ooffee may be dark, even
black, when strong, but it must be olear.
Each kind of coffee must be roasted
separately, and it is better to roast it a
day or two before using.
Men do occasionally become so exas
perated with their wives that they do all
sorts of absurd things. Occasionally
they poison them ; more commonly they
worry them to death ; but at times they
go by the more straight and easy road,
and kill .them outright by violence, and
thus free their bodies, mind?, and con
sciences from a heavy load. In illus
tration of the latter solution of the ques
tion how to get rid of a wife may be
brought to bear the action of Mr. John
Cook, of White Pigeon, Ind., who a few
days ago, rose in the morning and asked
his wife to prepare breakfast. lie went
out of the house, but when he returned
found that his dear one had paid no heed
to his request, but, had persisted in ly
ing abed. lie casually threw a pail of
water over her, and returned to his
work. Again he came home and found
her yet wrapped in sweetest slumber.
Ue then knew that there was no vio
lence to his wife which would oc
casion such utter anguish to her as his
shooting himself, so he loaded a gun and
deliberately blew out his brains. Sure
ly this was a terrible revenge to take
on his wife. Thus did Mr. Cook get
rid of his wife ; he did not kill her, and
so was saved from the disgusting and
treacherous formality of atrial. lie did
bis best, and one can say no more even
of his mother-in-law.

The Httccessl'ul Physician.
Dr. J. Walker is achieving an eminent
distinction as a btnefactor of his species.
some stigtnatizo all patent medicines
with the odious epithet of quackery.
But Dr. Walker's California Vinegar
Bitters have the endorsement of tho
medical profession. Unable to speak
from analysis of properties, the editor
can speak freely from ixperience, which
is, after all, the best test. He can con
scientiously and cordially recommend the
medicine, because he knows he has
found great benefit from its use. For
nearly twenty years he has suffered from
throat disease, attended with derange
ment of the stomach. And though the
disease has become cl.ronic, he has al
ready obtained great relief from this
remedy.
An old and skillful physician left at
death a large volume, carefully sealed,
and supposed to contain a fund of med
ical knowledge. On being opened, it
was found to contain only this simple
advice. " Keep your head cool, your
feet warm and your botyels open." But
there is a whole volume of materia med
ica in this maxim. And this medicine
acts as a mild cathartic, leaving the tys
tem in a healthy condition.
E. II. McDonald, an experienced drug
gist, associated with Dr. Walker, is at
once a man of thorough integrity and
practical knowledge of the art of com
pounding medicine, and an efficient
manager. They have a valuable medi
cine, and they know how to bring it to
the knowledge of the public by judicious
advertising. And as Good Samaritans,
we are happy to give them our hearty
endorsement, and bid them God-ppeed
in relieving the ills to which flesh is heir.
Who, when bis brother asks for bread,
would give him a serpent Y Yet how
otten when the sick ask for medicine,
they receive poison. Mercury, iodine,
strychnine and rtrussio acid, are pre
scribed daily, and tho larger the dose
the more heroio the practice 1 Khun all
deadly minerals, and consent rated vee-e.
table poisons. Let Dr. Walkek's Vin
egar Bitters be the firat resort of all
who suffer from general debility, indi
gestion, constipation, biliousness, inter
mittent fever or rheumatism. They will
need no other medicine.
We should not hesitate to recommend
to any friend of ours, Parson' Purgative
Puis; they are scientifically prepared.
and are adapted to all the purposes of a
good purgative medicine.
Decidedly the best remedy that has
ever been discovered for rheumatism,
swollen or stiff joints, flesh wounds, cuts,
sprains, bruises, and burns, is Johnson'
Anodine Liniment. We use it, and ol
ways recommend it to our friends.
