" An interesting arr by Dr. Samuel
Wilkes, pIiysiH.iii to Gny'g hospital, liit
laU-ly appeared in the Jsinret, on Life
at High I'ressnre," ami the effects gen
erally of the overstrain to whit-h public
and otlier uien are often exposed in
these times. Without entering on par
ticular cases, each of which must be re
garded on Its own merits, Dr. Wilke
declines to admit the truth of the com
mon imiressiii that disease aud tlrattli
are making Fph-odid harvests out of the
overwrought InmHc ami overstrained

-oars, if the question be put broadly,
Are people suffering from overwork r"
I, for one, should have no hesitation in
vaying, no; but, on the contrary, if lxth
sexes lie taken,! should, say that the
opposite is nearer the truth, and that
more persons are suffering from idleness
than from excessive work. Medically
speaking, I see half a dozen persons
"suffering from want of occupation to
one who Is crippled by his labors." In
the case of girls, instead of work being
injurious, he says he could Instance
numerous cases of recovery on the dis
covery oC an occupation. Let a girl
'occupy herself neither w ith amusement
nor with useful work, she falls into bad
health, becomes a prey to her own
powers and every function of her body
is damaged, as well as her moral nature
XTverted. These cases are very diffi
cult of cure; mothers are terrified to
let their daughters do anything, they
are so delicate, work would kill them;
what they need is doctors' visits, physic
and alcohol. This is ruinous. It is
quite remarkable what a delicate young
lady can do under the power of a stimu
lant. He relates, for example, that a
gentleman had lately expressed his sur
prise tosee how his daughter, w hoeould
not walk many yank for a long time,
owing to a pain in her back, was soon
able to walk several miles a day when
she procured the supsirt of a lovei 's
arm. Ir. Wilkes says that ne would

These views are of supreme tniortaiice
at a time w hen growing wealth is so

well-known writer on the poor some
time ago divided the community into
four classes those who can't work.
those who won't work, those who do

These last are apt to lie supiosed the
happy few, and many is the effort made
to get into the favorite class. Science,

The laliorcr who has saved money is
lietter fitti-d perhaps than any one to
employ to advantage the kind of labor
in which he himself is versed. Hut tin
lawyer or the author who has saved
money has no way ojien to him of turn
ing, at the Rime time, liotli his know l
edge and his money to act-omit by the
successful employment of the talents of
other authors in undertakings like unto
hi own. Perhaps, Indeed, something
of this kind liapiens when a wry popu
lar author like Iiickens turns editor,
and eolli-cts round him a stall of clever
writers, who admire his genius aud arc
even disposed to copy Ills mannerisms.
Itut the case is exceptional, and as a
rule it so seldom turns out that the very
successful author happens to have the
, qu:ilitics of a successful editor and jour
nalist, that exceptions of this kind may
be put aside as irrelevant. No doubt
one of the great reasons why profes
sional men are, on the w hole, so thrift
less in proiKirtion to their gains is this
, that the occupation which absorbs
their energies is not one the gains of
which can be extended by the help of
: judicious saving and investment. A
man cannot be successful in commerce,
nor, indeed, very successful even as a
skilled lalorer, without a strong motive
for saving in order to secure more suc
cess, either of the same sort, or at least
of a closely analogous sort. But a pro
fessional man who Is very successful
rarely has a strictly professional motive
for saving. The more his heart is ab
sorbed in his work, the less he thinks
of providing for himself in directions
which are in no way hound up w ith
his work.

' The Tide of the Chempeake. -
The subiect of the tides has leen one
of interest to mariners and landsmen
for a lonir time. A curious fact as
suited, is that it is always ebb tide at
Cane Henry at moon rising or setting;
is always low tide at Hoover's Straits at
moourise or setting, and high tide at
x-iiitlv Point at the same time, ami noou
tide at all points above Sandy Point
when the moon rises or sets. A vessel
entering the capes with a strong fair
wind at the beriuiiing of the not! title
may carry the same tide to Baltimore.
But a vessel leaving Baltimore far the
calx's will encounter three flood tides
on her way no matter how fast she may
sail, ami it may le she wil have to con
tend against several more, if she has a
dead w ind. Every flood tide that en
ters the Cheienke bay goes to the
head of every tidewater stream or tnim
tary of the bay, while the same ebb tide
does not run more than sixty miles, and
sometimes a great ileal les, so Uuit there
are always two eot) tnles ami two noou
tides iu the Chesapeake bay at the same
time, and sometime three of eue or the
other. The flood tide runs about six
hours, the ebb a little longer, so that
twelve hours and forty in unites are re
quired for a flood tide and ebb tide to
pass the same xjint. it is always noou
tide in the vt icomM-o river on tne morn'

Lews from Light Seedixo. While
walking over a newly seeded wheat stub
ble the other day we noted many strips
or patches where the clover had entirely
Biisaed.- As the" catch -was good on
either side, it was evident that the strip
had been unseeded, and, as the natural
result, was filling with rag weed, barn
grass and the like. Wherever in the
same field clover covered the ground
like a mat, not a weed of any descrip
tion was visible. Looking on a last
year's seeding mown this summer, we
found the aaaie result long strips of
two to ten or more feet wide through
the field barren of clover or filling up
with blue grass or worthless weeds.
Xo matter how long the field may re
main unplowed, these strips will never
become well seeded, 'and even after
plowing the loss will continue, as there
is less valuable sod to turn under and
these strips will require more manure
to make them as productive as adjoin
ing parts of the field. The same result
in a less striking form is seen from an
even, though deficient, seeding on the
whole field. "lire rose from poor seed
ing, either of a whole or part of a field,
continues with ' increasing volume for
all subsequent time. , '
The utmost care should be taken to
have every square foot of ground well
seeded with clover. It is far better to
overlay the strips and give some a
double portion than to leave any with
out seeding. When this overlapping
gives the clover' a thicker and better
soil it is proof positive that vou have
used too little seed on the whole. Some
of the best fanners of our acquaintance
now sow fully ne peck of clover seed
per acre, and would increase the quan
tity if they could thereby secure a bet
ter catch. Their clover fields are a de
light to any good farmer's eye; the
- i
clover grows so rampant that the pes
tiferous annual weens wmcn iniest
most fields are crowded oat. Possibly,
with very favorable seasons, less seed
might suffice, but these cannot be de
pended upon. There U no loss except
of a little seed in sowing thickly, while
if the season requires it, this thick seed
ing may tee worth five to fifteen dollars
per acre more than a thin seeding. It
will not do to depend on plants from
all the clover seed sown, and some sea-
sous not from half of it, even when per
fectly good. Some accident, a dry week
just as clover is sprouting, may wither
the shoot before its root has struck
down, and only those seeds protected
by a small stone, a leaf or a clod, will
escape. It is generally better, w hen a
good seed owner is convenient to divide
the seed into two parts and sow half of
it early in the spring and the other half
two or three weeks later. This gives a
double chance for success, besides en
suring the covering of all the ground,
if done with care. By this plau of dou
ble seeding a good catch is almost a cer
tainty, aud w here a seed sower is used
it doe not involve much extra trouble.

Qi aii-S axd Coitx. The following
slip is cut from a paper and sent us by
a corresoiideiit :
A farmer boy in Ohio, recently ob
serving a small flock of quails in his
father s corn field, resolved to watch
their motions. They pursued a regular
course in their foraging, beginning on
one side of the field, tali i ne aliout five
rows, and following them uniformly to
the opposite end, returning iu the same
manner over the next hve rows, i ney
continued in -this course until they had
explored the greater part of the field
The lad, believing that they were .pull
ing up the core, fired into the flock,
killing but one of them, and examined
the s round. In the whole space which
they had traversed he found but one
stalk of corn disturbed. This was
nearly scratched out of the ground, but
the earth still adhered to it. in the
crop of the quail he found one cut
worm, twenty-one striped vine bugs,
and one hundred chinch bugs, but not
a single grain of corn.
Mice ix Hotbeds. When mice get
into frames, as they often do, they pro
duce a fearful amount of mischief iu a
few days, if not destroyed. This may
easily be done by mixing sugar and but
ter or lard smoothly together, in which
a little strychnine is incorporated:
spread this on thin slices of bread, and
cut in small cubes and distribute them
among the plants, and at the same time
place Vessels of water in some conveni
ent place, where they may drink. Or
if preferred, the phosphorus compound
sold by druggists for this purpose may
be used, but we have always had the best
success with the first named mixture.
In eithec case care must be taken that
the children do not have access to the
prepared bits of bread. Canada Farmer.
Swixe rx Pexs. Swine kept in pens
during summer should have a ehance to
get at the earth, and be provided with
a water trough of sufficient size to allow
the hogs to wallow. Keep the pens
sweet and clean, as on this depends
much of the prosperity of the hogs, al
though they are generally considered
filthy - animals. Vegetable matter
should be given daily. It is a good
plan, when weeding the garden, to
throw purslain, pig weeds, etc., into
the pen. Charcoal and forest leaves, or
fine cut straw, make a good deodorent
and absorbent for the sty.
Trees of all kind can be transplanted
in autumn as soon as they are done
growing, indicated by the change in
the leaf, up to hard freezing. The ear
lier this is attended to, especially with
large trees, the more certain are they
to grow. By transplanting early the
roots have time before the season closes
of setting well in their new homes and
taking a good hold, which will sustain
them through the winter, prepared to
take an early start in the spring. 1

drawback in growing these successfully

Electricity. A correspondent re
marked, some time since, that the mys

in woolen clothing, who, when the air
is dry. mav (bv friction of their clothing
or feet) produce from their finger ends
a spars or electricity euuicient wi ur
nite a gas jet. He submitted the qnes
tion whether it would not be possible
that men at work in powder mills may
create so much electricity in their bo
dies that, when their hands come in
contact with metallic conductors, it
may be, if not suflicient to ignite pow
der, enonith to ignite some infiamma-
ble gas generated irom tne cnemicais. ,
This letter has drawn the attention
of the London Chemical Review, which
states that in England they have of
ten seen in - American . Journals the
statement that an electric spark, suf
ficient to ignite gas, may be given off,
by the human hand : but the editor
savs that he never heard of such cases
on his side of the water. We know
that the air in England and . all the
countries of Western Europe is very
damp, owing to the prevailing west
winds and the absence of extensive
areas of dry land, blowing over which
the wind would become very dry, as
our west winds, coming over oar p rai

swered that, iu the manufacture of ful

and even of charcoal, when floating in

its character is very similar to gun
powder charcoal, has repeatedly ex

ginia, when mixed with air in the right
quantity. It is well known among
electricians that a weak electric spark
will more easily explode gunpowder
tban a strong, intense spark ; the lat
ter will scatter a heap ot gunpowder
without igniting it, but, whe the spark
is weakened bv substituting for a part
of the conducting metal a less conduct
ing material, such as water or a mois
tened thread, then ignition will readily
take place.
We acknowledge that we have no
positive evidence that powder mills
have actually been exploded by elec
tricity; but the possibility of such
a cause was only suggested in onr pa
per, and it must be admitted that tins
suggestion is not unworthy of serious
attention. '

The Color Eue. A. series of five in
vestiiratinns has been made by Kunkel
on the dependence of the sensitiveness
of the eye to colors, upon tbe duration
of light. The results may be summar
ized as follows : The. vnrious colors of
tbe spectrum require different times in
order!to brinff about an impression.
This time is shortest of all for red, and
greatest for blue. For the same colors
the maximum impression .peculiar to
the color is reached in shorter times in
proportion as the intensity of tbe color
increases. By these results of Kunkel
we are reminded of the similar inves
tigations of Hemholtz and of Mayer,
the latter having shown that, in the
case of sound, the ear is more sensi
tive to sounds of high than of low in
tensity. . . 4
About Bitten. The Board of Health
of the citv of Boston. Mass.. not Ions
ago appointed Professor W. B Nichols,
a celebrated chemist of that city, to
examine into the various concoctions
enormously advertised and sold to an
unsuspecting public under the mild
name of "bitters." , Mr. .Nichols is con
tinuing his investigationstnd np to the
present time has elicited enoagh to
warrant a wholesale condemnation,
certainly, of the most popular of these
disguised drinks. He says that, out of
twenty samples, only one did not con
tain alcohol, and that had the least
sale.

Preventing SvffocatUm in the EartX.
M. A. O. suggests that, in cases oi men
being accidentally buried in the earth,
who frequently survive some time be
fore completely suffocated, iron pipes,
of the sort used for drive wells, should
be driven down just at the edge of the
soft earth until the proper depth is
reached : when, by the application of a
?mmp at tbe top, an abundance of
resb air could be forced down to sus
tain life until the men could be res
cued by digging. - -

The ideal diss of raw tomatoes is
thus prepared : Choose only those which
are large, comparatively smooth, firm,
thoroughly red-ripe it is an absurdity
to offer small or immature specimens in
a salad, and If you cant find such as
here recommended you must not at
tempt to eat raw tomatoes. , Put them
in a tin pan and pour over them boiling
water, pouring it off immediately. -This
so loosens the skins that they can usually
be pulled off easily without any violent
application of the knife: 1 Then with a
very sharp knife slice them across, dis
carding the first piece, which has the
hard - base 'or the vtem, ana tne last
niece, which is too small.' Make the
slices thin rather tban thick, keep them
large and whole, and pile them carefully
in layers in a pretty dish, delicately
sprinkling salt and pepper over them.
Then put them away to get thoroughly
cold in your cellar or refrigerator. Pre
pared thus they are simply ainorosiai
and only a Pagan could scorn them. If
anybody wants to add sugar and vinegar
to the seasoning that can be done by
the eater. Slices of the large yellow
tomatoes scattered among the red some
times make the dish look very tempting.

Ox Xeatxess in Dress. A farmer's
wife has the same right to be neat aud
fashionable and refined that a woman of
the city has. -Because she lives on a
rarui, and reed the pigs anu enicicens,
is no reason that she should make -a
drudge of herself, and not care for her
personal appearance. v nen yon ouy a
piece of furniture get the latest style,
for you can get it just as cheap, aud it
will last just as long as the style, of
twenty vears a 20. . Aud when you get
a dress, although It- be nothing but
calico, cut it fashionably, but don't trim
it, for it don't pay to trim a rneap uress.
Dou't slip on a dirty wrapper in the
morning, and twist your hair up in a
knot, and kick the dog, and tread on the
cat, and scold your husband, and tell
the children to keep out of the way, for
you have a big day's work todo and you
must not be hindered. Don't do it all
the work you will do will not com
pensate your family for your looking so
dirty and untidy. You can be a help
meet to your husband in the true sense
of the word, and still be neat and fash-
wuable. Aiice McC. in the liurul noria.
Care or the Feet .Concerning this
subject the Scientific American very truly
says: -"Many are careless in the kcep
ine of the feet. If they wash them
once a week they think they are doing
well. They do not consider tnat tue
larmiat wirM arii located In the bottom
of tne foot, and that the most offensive
matter is discharged through the pores.
They wear stockings from the beginning
to the end 01 tne wee a wmioui ensure,
which become perfectly saturated with
offensive matter. Ill health is generated
by such treatment of the feet. The
pores are not repellants but absorbents,
and this fetid matter, to a greater or
less extent. Is taken back Into the system.
The feet should be washed every day
with pure water ouly, as well as the
antinits. from which an offensive odor
is also emitted, unless daily ablution is
practiced. Stockingssbould not be worn
more than a day or tw o at a time. They
may be worn one day. and then aired
and sunned and worn another day ; if
necessary. ;. .- .
There are several ways of distinguish.
ing mushrooms from iioisonous fungi:
1. Sprinkle a little salt on the spongy
part, or gills, of tbe sample to be tried.
If they turn yellow they are poisonous;
if black, they are wholesome. Allow
the salt to act ' before you decide the
question. 2. False mushrooms have a
warty cap, or else fragments of mem
brane, adhering to the upper sunace,
are heavy, and emerge from a vulva or
bag; they grow in tufts or clusters in
woods, on the stumps of trees, etc.,
whereas the true mushrooms grow in
pastures. 3. False mushrooms have an
astringent, styptic aud disagreeable
taste. .4. When cut they turn blue. 5.
They are moist on the surface, and
generally of a rose or orange color. 6.
The gills of a true mushroom are of a
ninkv red. chanziue to a liver color. 7.
The flesh is w hite. 8. The stem Is w hite,
solid and cylindrical.

School Lvxches. In the Bmnlljfn
Journal of Education, Dr. Jerome Walker,
gives some "Dietetlcal Suggestions,"
from which we take the following:
The lunch-boxes carried to school are,
as a rule, much too small. A friend a
school-teacher in the country uses a
tin box large enough to contain two
good sandwiches, a piece 01 plain cake,
a little cheese, some ripe fruit, as ap
ples, peaches, or grapes, and he has had
listened to the bottom a tin cup, witn
cover, with holds just one pint of fresh
milk. This Is a good lunch.
Apple Meeixoce. Nine large apples
peeled and prepared the same as apple
sauce, three tablespoons sugar; cover
tieht in a stew pan ; when done strain
through a colander, beat the yolks of
four eggs, mix with this the rind of
two lemons, put It in the pudding disn
and cover it with the whites beaten to a
stiff froth with a tablespoonful of sugar
and juice of one lemon. Place the whole
in tbe oven uutu the meringue is sugntiy
browned.
To Pickle Pears axd Peaches.
Select medium-sized pears and smooth
free-stone peaches; stick them full of
cloves. Boil 7 pounds or sugar witn 1
gallon of vinegar, an ounce of mace and
an ounce of allspice. When it boils put
in the fruit and let it cook gently till a
straw will pierce it. Kemove the iruit
with skimmer and boil the syrup down
for a few minutes; then pour it over
the fruit, cover close.
Pickled Plcms. To every quart of
plums, one pound of sugar and one pint
of best vinegar. Melt the sugar n the
vinegar; tie spices of all kinds in a fine
piece of muslin and put up with the
vinegar and sngar. hen boiling put
in the Dlums and rive them one good
boil. If you wish to keep the fruit w hole
pricic witn a needle before cooung.
Washixo Scmmer Dresses. A table
spoonful of black pepper put in tbe first
water in which gray and buff linens are
washed will keep them from spotting.
It will also generally keep the colors of
black or colored cambrics or muslins
from running, and does not harden the
water. ..
.Cideb may be preserved sweet for
years, by putting it up in airtight cans,
after the manner of preserving fruit.
The liquor should be first settled and
racked off from the dregs, but fermenta
tion should not be allow xl to commence
before canning.
Here is an old storyof a Tankee
captain and bis mate : Whenever there
araa a plum pudding made, by tne cap
tain's orders all of the plums were put
Into one end of it, and that end placed
next to the captain, who, after helping
himself, passed it to the mate, who
never foand any plums in his part of It.
Well, after this game had been placed
for some time, the mate prevailed on
the steward to place the end which had
no plums in it next to the captain. Tbe
captain no sooner saw the pudding than
be discovered that he had the wrong end
of it. Picking np the dish, and turning
it in his bands as if merely examining
the china, he said, "This dish cost me
two shillings in Liverpool," and pot it
down again, as though without design,
with the plum end next to himself, "is
h possible sail the mate, taking np
the dish, "I shouldn't suptose it was
worth more than a shilling," and, as if
in perfect innocence, he put down the
disk with the plum end next to himself.
The captain looked at the mate, the mate
looked at the captain. The captain
laughed, the mate laughed. "I tell you
what, young one,' said the captain,
"you've found me out, so we'll just cut
the pudding lengthwise this time."
A Parlor Scexe. They w ere seated
hi the parlor conversing in the softest
accents, and little Louie was seated
statue-like in a chair near by listeutng,
and looking, as well as the chastened
light allowed her. Still they spoke only
on the ordinary topics of conversation,
the Exposition, and the weather partic
ularly, avoiding that which was nearest
to their hearts, and which they anlemly
desired to talk about. It was growing
late, and before he won hi take leave of

breathe a few accents of love in her
willin ear. But little Louie was as
immovable as when she took her seat an
hour and a half previously. He would
se some device to cause her to absent
herself. He requested Louie in the gen
tlest manner to bring a certain piece of
music from the adjoining parlor, know
ing that she would have to search for
some time before site found it, if at all,
and to strengthen his request, as he
thought, he added, "and I will kiss you
sweetly." What was his astonishment
when the child answered, "lou can
kiss Carrie." The denouement can b
imagined.
Warxixo to Lover. A rather in
teresting story is told of a buxom young
woman, whose honesty of purose is
fully equalled by her physical ability to
resent an imposition even though the
offender be her lover. The young man
in question bore a rather doubtful char
acter to the outside world and was never
suspected of being a teetotaler by the
young lady berseir, aitnougn amrming
to her that he never drank. All was,
apparently, working to the entire satis
faction or Cupid nlmseir, until one eve
nine her "feller" asked his fair Dulcinea
to "turn down the light." "It's a taller
candle, you darn fool t Your're drunk;
you can't deceive me anymore;" and
she took him by the lert ear ami leu
him to the door. As he walked off he
was beard to exclaim several times, "Al
ice ! Al ice ! how cruel you are !"
