Philosophy was once supposed to be
the fltronjr point of the eighteenth cen
tury, but in our time it has been uni
formly reprewnted as its opprobrium.
Yet we think that a very little reflec
tion will show the former opinion to be
nearer the mark. The eighteenth cen
tury has been reproai-hed with want of
reverence, and there is no necessity to
defend the scoffing tone in which its
broad conclusions were stated during
its closing decades, and more especially
in France. But long before Frenchmen
liegan to mock, Englishmen bad begun
to inquire; and the short memory of
the nineteenth century, which has al
most forgotten even the scandal excited
by the publication of L'ay and Beriewt,
and has transferred its curiosity to the
mere coiitemixiraneous vagaries of
Bishop Colenso or the benign l'hila
delphisni of Dean Stanley, are doubtless
quite oblivious, if they ever knew, that
more than a hundred years since a
bishop of Peterborough sought, in the
words of IJallam, to establish systemat
ically the principles of moral right in
dependently of revelation, and that it
was another prelate, the better known
AVarburton, of Gloucester, who affirmed
for the first time that the Mate must
consider religion in reference, not to
revelation, but to expediency; and
should lend its favor to creeds, not ac
cording to what it consider? their truth,
"but solely out of regard to their public
utility. The nineteenth century is
often pleased to remember that it re
pealed the Test Act, admitted Roman
Catholics into Parliament, and threw
open the doors or tbe legislature even
to Jews. But it is obvious that the
course thus adopted was but the appli
cation of principles which had been
firmly grasped and boldly propounded
by its predecessor. "All England,"
wrote Hume in 17-T.i, on his return from
Italy, "is in a ferment on account of
Iir.Middleton's "ire In-juir;" and, a
few years later, the publication of
Blackburn's The Confettional, which
was in effect an attack'on the subscrip
tion of creeds and articles, excited a
Ierfect commotion, though by no means
one oi general hostility. Tho matter
was brought before the House of Com
mons by meaus of a petition drawn up
against the articles and signed by 2(A)
clergymen. The observation of Gibbon
concerning the Thirty-nine Articles,
"which more subscrilie to than read.and
more read than understand," is familiar
to everybody. But it is not, perhaps,
so widely known that thy were de
nounced in equally vigorous, if less
epigrammatic, language, by persons
considered orthodox, in Parliament
itself, at the same epoch. So promi
nent a member as Mr. lrunninz pro
nounced them "palpably ridiculous"
Another member described them as
strikingly absurd. "In my apprehen
sion," said Lord George Germain, "some
of the Articles are incomprehensible
and some self-contradictory:" and Sir
William Meredith, while stigmatizing
them with like distinctness, strove to
account for their absurdity by remind
ing the House that they were framed
when the spirit of free inquiry, when
liberal and enlarged notions, were yet
in their infancy. TcMjilc Bar.

In the gardens of a restuarant at
Berlin, a sun-burnt German and his
Japanese wife make their appearance
every evening. The wife was brought
from Japan by her husband. It is an
understood thing that future honors
await this man, -for he is chosen as sec
retary to the Lord of Kichthofen.
Prince Bismark possesses an only
daughter, betrothed to Kichthofen, who
is to proceed as German Ambassador to
the Court of Japan, and he must take
a secretary w ho understands the Japa
anese language; selection there is none
and only one man can he found to fill
the situation. How Kip-iert became
possessed of his Jajtanese treasure was
related by himself when in a jovial
frame of mind only a few days since.
In 1870, Kippert was serving as stew
ard's mate on hoard the Ariadne, a
Prussian man-of-war. Suddenly, the
news arrived that France had declared
war against Germany. The French
pronounced the Ariadne to be in block
ade, and she was closely watched by
her formidable enemies, who outnum
bered her by three to one. At that
time, llerr Von Brandt was the Prus
sian Ambassador at Jeddo, and his sec
retary was suddenly taken ill, so Brandt
sent to ask the Captain of the Ariadne
if he could spare him one from amongst
his crew who was capable of acting as
his secretary. The Captain selected the
Stewart's mate, Kippert, and he was
solemnly installed as Secretary to the
Embasy, "But my dear Icllow," said
llerr Von Brandt," "you must marry;
we want a woman to act as housekeeper.
Kippert inquired of the ambassador
where he could find a wife, llerr Von
Brandt called his Japanese servant who
understood a little German, and said to
him, "Jack, here are ten dollars; sad
dle two horses, and ride to tbe village
with Kippert, and buy him a wife
there." An hour later, Kippert and
Jack trotted gaily forth, and arriving
shortly before sunset at the village
which contained a number of huts. Be
fore these huts were large tanks of
water, in which the women and girls
of the place paddled about, arrayed in
the primitive dress of our mother Eve.
Kippert proceeded along at a foot's
pace; he looked through his glasses,
taking ocular inspection as he passed.
When he had made his choice be
pointed out to Jack the lady of his se
lection. The servant rode up to tbe
hut ot the father of the young lady and
begged him to come out of doors and
talk to him. He stated the object of his
visit, and the father demanded twenty
dollars for his daughter, but subse
quently accepted five. Jack turned his
horse and trotted back to Kippert. The
father made a sign to his daughter.
She jumped joyfully out of the tank and
ran forward to Kippert,s horse, which
he prepared to follow with much alac
rity and signs of great delight. Kip
pert got down from his horse to make a
bow to the lady, and at the same time
be slipped a sack that he had already
over her head. He had previously cut
three holes in the sack for the head and
arms; thus adorned, in due deference
to European customs, they proceeded
on their journey. Jessa, as llerr Von
Brandt called her. learnt with great
ease to clean the rooms, to make the
beds, and to wash np the cups and
saucers. Her husband made her two
dresses with his own clever fingers, in
which she seemed most proud to walk
about. When the time arrived that
Kippert was able to return to Germany
with Herr Von Brandt, he wished to
send Jessa back to her father, bnt she
flung herself at his feet, weeping vio
lently, and entreating not to be left be
hind ; so he decided on taking her with
him. lie had been legally married to
Jessa, who ha been christened, receiv
ing tbe name of Mary; and the pretty
Japanese now speaks German and moves
in society as if she had been educated
in a first-rate boarding school.
The Opera I'wter X III.
Writing of the Paris Grand Opera, a
correspondent cays: Louis Philippe's
Government restored the opera to the
Fine Arts Ministry, and endeavored to
give its managers fair play that is, paid
them their grants and allowed them to
carry on their administration as they
thought besi; but Xapoleoti III., with
his propensity to imitate the proceed
ings of bis uncle, decreed that tbe opera
should be included anew among depart
ments or the imperial household, ana
fo. some years the Academy of Music
became focus of jobbery, corruption,
quarrels, and tumults such as had never
been seen or heard of before. Count
Walewski was tbe chief author of this
state of things. As amiable a man as
he was an intrepid partisan, the Count
absolutely lacked the power to say no
when a pretty face besought him ; but
he had wit enough to turn this weak
ness to account for political ends, and
while be was Minister of tbe Household
he bestowed operatic appointments much
as other ministers did State offices, in
recompense for party services. Any
Senator or Deputy who despatched him
a winsome singer with a letter of recom
mendation was sure to obtain an en
gagement for his protegee, and the con
sequence was that the opera soon had a
company three or four tunes greater
than it required. Comely young ladies
drew fine salaries without ever singing;
tenors and baritones innumerable were
in the same case, having been recom
mended by the young ladies or their
political friends: and the orchestra was
tilled with undisciplined fiddlers, whom
it was impossible to punish or even re
buke, because they plied their bow
sticks under the patronage of divers
loyal gentlemen who voted straight at
the Luxembourg or the Palais Bourbon.
So long as Count Walewski remained in
office no barm came of this disorder, for
the Count had a tact all his own for al
laying the fiercest disputes with a little
joke and a compliment; but when he
was succeeded by that grun old soldier,
Marshal Vaillant, the least jocular of
men, tbe opera became wholly unman
ageable, and the Emperor ended it by
impatiently cutting it adrift from bis
household and decreeing that it should
lie governed again by the Fine Arts
Ministers, who, however, received in
structions to meddle with the manager
as little as possible.
Kaaaiaa aad Ser

There is a custom, more or less ob
served, in Russia, once a year, at Easter
tide. After fasting the whole forty days
of Lent, which the Russian professes to
do, he naturally hails with no small
amount of pleasure the day succeeding
that abstemious period, and "goes in"
for a few natiret. He gets up earlv in
the morning, and, putting a colored egg
in his pocket and a pleasing smile on his
face, sallies forth. He offers the egg to
the first person he meet, who accepts
it, and gives him another in return, and
then the two exchange kisses! On this
day, the Russian is privileged to stop
any one, and offer hint or her the ex
change of an egg with the festal greet
ing; and so a young, good-looking fel
low has a good day's work before him.
It is a remarkable fact (and yet, why
should it be?) that two persons of the
same sex rarely happen to meet on such
a day? It is the custom in Germany for
a man who is engaged to a girl to salute,
upon making bis adieu for the evening,
the whole of the family, beginning with
the mother. Thus, in a family circle
embracing half a dozen girls, each
having a lover, no less than forty-eight
kisses would have to be given on the oc
casion of a united meeting; and when
we consider that each lover would give
his own sweetheart ten times as many
kisses as he gave her sisters, the grand
total would outnumber a hundred !
Ortraalssas la the Atmosphere.
A brief record of the studies of Mr.
C. II. Blackley on the connection
between the pollen of grasses and hay
asthma is given in the (pmrterly Journal
of Microtcofiie Srience. The observations
were continued from April to the end
of July. By means of a slip of glass
coated with a non-dying liquid, and ex
posed horizontally, the quantity of
pollen grains present In the air or a
meadow at the breathing level was daily
estimated. The greatest number was
obtained June 28, when 8?0 grains settled
upon a surface of a square centimeter
in twenty-four hours. Sudden diminu
tions in the quantity of pollen were oc
casioned by rain, together with a fall in
the temperature. By the use of a kite
strata of atmosphere were examined to
the height of 1.000 feet. Pollen was
found to be much more abundant in the
upper levels than at the breathing level,
the proportion being 19 to 1. i ungoid
spores were found in the air in large
quantities. In one experiment the spores
of a cryptogam were too numerous at
the height of 1,000 feet to be counted,
but were reckeued at a rough estimate
to be not less than 30 10,000 to the
square inch. By a series of experiments
it was proved that these organisms
travel considerable distances through
the air.
Beatiaa natality.
Serrtimentality is an element of dis
integration in every work of art into
which it is permitted to enter. If the
books of the Bible had not been free
from it, they would not have lasted till
this day. Xo piece of sentimental
writing has come down to us from the
far past ; and no work of literary or
other art of our own day, no matter how
wide its present vogue, can exist long if
it has this poison in its blood. It is
truth that lives, not falsehood. We may
look with keen regret uon the fading
away of reputations dear to us ; we may
deprecate the lessening acceptance, both
with ourselves and others, of some con
temporaneous book which had a lesson
for us tbat once held us by a charm
not altogether sentimental ; but the law
is inexorable. The instances which will
occur to the reader of works in which
there is the sentimental quality, but
which still have held their own quite
well, and promise a longer life than is
consistent with the foregoing remarks
these aparent exceptions may possibly
prove the rule, for it may be in spite of
their sentimentality, and by reason of
other vital and overpowering Qualities.
that they retain the consideration of
mankind. 1 be poison, then, is a mere
surface matter it has not entered the

A wealthy Arabian merchant has
furnished a German journal some inter
esting information about Mecca. The
Grand Sheriff, he says, is richer than
his master, tbe Sultan; be speaks
French, and has French dishes at his
table, and eats on the finest china, but
never uses a knife, fork or spoon. The
furniture of bis house is made in the
European style, and comes from Con
stantinople. Life in Mecca during the
pilgrim season,, when there are about
100,000 pilgrims in town, is much more
expensive than at other times; beef is
8d. a pound and bread is l?jd. a pound.
The streets are lighted up with pe
troleum, and the expense of lighting is
borne not by the municipality (which,
however, provides the lantern), but by
each householder. The streets are all
paved, and many of the houses are
seven stories high. There is a Postofflce
in the town, which sends letters once a
day to the harbor of Djeddah. Letters
are brought to tbe houses to which they
are addressed, and it is customary to
give the postman a piaster (3d) for his
trouble. There is also a photographer
in tbe town ; but no Christian books
are to be found in the booksellers' shops
as their sale is not permitted.
..UCTLTTjEAL
Wheat Aftek Potatoes. Where po
tatoes are grown extensively it has be
come a common and very good practice
to have a few acres of early potatoes
ready to clear off and to sow to wheat.
This can readily be done with ' Early
Rose, and sometimes with early planted
later varieties. It is best however not
to try to get out a large field of potatoes
in time for wheat, as the labor is so
great that it is apt to delay wheat sow
ing till late in the season. Wherever
f round can be fitted for sowing by tbe
5th of September, a potato crop makes
an excellent preparation for wheat.
The ground is in the best possible me
chanical condition from previous cul
tivation, and if the soil is rich enough
a good crop is apt to result. With the
complete pulverization of the soil, as
hoeing, cultivating, and digging, little
after preparation is necessary to fit it
for wheat. The old-fashioned way,
both on corn and potato ground was to
lightly cultivate, and sometimes only
to drag the surface sowing the wheat
broadcast and covering with the drag.
This was reckoned a slipshod and lazy
prrctice, and therefore abandoned, but
we remember very- well that some extra
large crops were grown in this way,
and it is quite certain that the deeper
cultivation which has become fashiona
ble has not been so generally success
ful. Wherein is the advantage of plow
ing potato ground for wheat ? If prop
erly cultivated during the summer
there will be a few or no weeds in po
tatoes at digging time, and a light cul
tivation, or eveu dragging to level sur
face is all that is needed much better
we suspect, than a deeper plowing
which turns the finely pulverized sur
face soil to the bottom of the furrow.
On land not deficient in potash there is
always a good clover catch with wheat
after potatoes. If the clover falls on
potato ground the probability is that
potash is wanting, and hard wood
ashes should be sown. If these cannot
be obtained the German potash salts
are a good substitute, and may be profit
ably used on such land.
Care or Dried Fruit. From the last
year's crop of fruit there are tons of
dried apples stored away in the farmers'
garrets in boxes, chests and bags, wait
ing and ready to supply the family
tables whenever they shall be needed.
The careful housewife will give such
stores an occasional examiuation, to
see tbat nothing is wasted from the-ef-fects
of damp weather, insects or ver
min. After apples are thoroughly
cured, probably there is nothing better
for storing them than tight, clean
boxes or barrels. If flour barrels are
used, they should first be washed en
tirely clean, as flour adhering to the
sides or heads is liable to mold and in
jure the quality of the fruit within.
Tight barrels or boxes are best, because
they shut out the damp air in stormy
weather, and also exclude those insects
which are always seeking to deposit
their eggs, and from which hatch the
worms or maggots which injure so
much of the dried fruit which is care
lessly cared for. If stored in bags, the
bags" should be fine and clean, and tied
tightly, so as to exclude all insects
which might cause injury to the fruit.
. We have had smarting evidence of the
ease with which mosquitoes can thrust
their bills through the fabric even of
our best and finest clothes, and those
insects which deposit the eggs of the
apple worm have the ability to put
their eggs through pretty small boles
if necessity requires. If convenient to
do so, bags of dried fruit should be
hung in the open air af an upper room,
where the air can circulate freely, and
prevent injury, from mold and damp
ness. Housekeepers on a farm find this
a busy time of year with fruit to dry
and to can, pickles to preserve, and
catsup and other relishes to prepare,
and it is all too hard work to have such
labor lost for want of a little watching
and timely care during the changing
weather of summer and fall. The dog
day weather is past now, and our
houses should have a good airing and
the family stores a thorough sunning
or scalding, as necessity requires. Dont
let mold and decay spoil the results of
hard toil, tor the want or a little timely
forethought and care.
Russia Appi.es. The Department
of Agriculture did a good thing when
it iuiKrted from Russia a number of
the Mipular varieties or apples grown
there. In the distribution oj scions
from those trees, some fifteen varieties
fell to our share, and the grafts made
from them all grew, and are now tine,
thrifty trees, says Dr. lloskins, of New
port, Vt., and these have been grafted
from, until we have more than 100
young trees from this stock. The suc
cess of the Tetofsky and Duchess of
Oldeiiburgb apples, which were among
the earlier importations from Russia,
probably stimulated the agricultural
department in its effort to bring over
others, and though it is to soon to do
more than begin the record of results,
we cannot but be pleased with the
thrifty growth of these new varieties,
and their adaptedness to our cold
winters. But two of the varieties re
ceived from the department have yet
fruited ; one, the Yellow Transparent,
last season, and another, the Grand
Sultan. They are both early fall vari
eties, the former ripening with the
Duchess of Oldeuburgh, and the latter
early in September. Both are band
some and excellent apples; the Grand
Sultan particularly so, being of tbe
largest size, a bright green in color,
becoming a rich waxy yellow in ripen
ing. The flavor is mild, the flesh very
mellow and soft, something like the
Maiden's Blush in quality. We shall
watch with interest the coming into
bearing of all these new sorts, hoping
that among them may be found not
only fall, but wiuter varieties, that will
prove good and profitable in the colder
sections of the State, says our contem
porary of the Vermont State Journal.

Totato Rot. Mr. Francis Gerry
Fairfield writes in the Scieutijic Ameri
ca , that a "bland solution of carbolic
acid in common whale oil or kerosene is
the scientific remedy for the rot. The
best way to use it would, I think, be to
dip the potato, just before planting, in
the solution, which is very inexpensive
and very easily obtained. I may add
that my experiments convinced me
that carbolic acid in this bland solution
in no way impairs the germinal activ
ity of the tuber; but, by way of cer
tainty, let me recommend to your far
mer readers to first try tbe experiment
on a few hills next spring, and if suc
cessful, to adopt it as a remedy for the
blight."
Three Good Rules for KarVfrs.
1. In gathering corn, take such ears
only as are finest and from the most
prolific stalks. 3. Never take from a
sulk having but one ear, if thrifty
stalks can be found with two or more
good-sized ear. Generally but one of
them is fit for seed, and that usually
tbe second from the ground. But if the
lowest is tbe best, take that. 3. Al
ways take ears that are filled out to the
end, and that beyond the husk, if such
can be found. When you coraetopUnt
before shelling, break every ear, and
see if the pith of the cob is dried np;
for if it is not the corn is not ripe.
Facts for Farmers. A series of ex
periments, instituted to test tbe average
loss in weight by drying, show that
corn loses one-fifth, and wheat one
fourteenth by the process. From this
statement, it appears that farmers will
make more by selling unshelled corn in
tbe fall at 75 cents than the following
summer at $1 a bushel ; and that wheat
at $1.32 in December, is equal to $1.60
for the same wheat in June following.
This estimate is made on the basis of
interest at 7 per cent, and takes no ac
count of loss from vermin. The facts
are noteworthy.

LIUTlPfC.
The Relation of Food to Worl.Dr.
Dn Chaumont, in a recent lecture, said
that np to a quite late date there was
an absence of any satisfactory theory
aa to the relation ot food to work, and
it was supposed that bodily force was
dne to a chemical change in tbe mus
cles themselves, and that the nitroge
nous matter in food repaired the waste.
But the researches of Joule, Playfair,
Frankland, and others, on the conser
vation of energy, have led to tbe con
clusion that active force is produced
chiefly by the potential energy stored
np in the carboniferous food, and set
tree by oxidation. Hence it was seen
that to credit the chemical changes in
the muscles with the origination of
force in the body was not more philo
sophical than to credit the force exer
ted by a steam engine to the wearing
awav of its wheels and pistons.
Tfie lecturer then proceeded through
a large number of elaborate calcula
tions, based upon actual observation,
for tbe purpose of showing tbe ordinary
amount of productive work of which a
man of average height is capable, and
its equivalent in foot tuns a foot tun
representing the amount of force re
quired to raise one tun one foot high.
It appears that the work done in walk
ing three miles an hour is equal to
about one tenth the work done by di
rect ascent. Three hundred foot tans
is a fair day's work for a man of ave
rage height. This would be equiva
lent to walking fifteen miles in a little
over five hours. A hard day's work
would be equal to walking twenty-four
miles in eight hours. Dr. Parkes men
tions an extreme rase, in which a man
in a copper mill did aa much as 723 foot
tuns in a day, bis average work being
443 foot tuns. Tbe ordinary work of a
military prisoner is 310 foot tuns. The
velocity at which work was done, and
the consequent resistance, greatly af
fect the quantity of potential energy
required for its accomplishment, Far
the production of any amount of what
may be termed productive work, much
larger amount of potential enenry has
to be expended. Professor Haughton,
of Dublin, has calculated that, of the
total potential energy produced in the
body, 200 foot tuns are required for
the action of the heart. Theii the ani
mal heat absorbs from 2,000 to 2,300
foot tuns, or more.
According to Helmholtz, about five
times as much energy is used in tbe in
ternal work of the body as is expended
in ordinary productive work. In tbe
case of severe work, the proportion
of internal work to productive work is
still greater. Supposing the work per
formed by a man to consist of walking,
the most economical rate, both as re
gards the amount of food required to
sustain it, and tbe amount of potential
cergy expended on the body itself, is
about three miles an hour. Both
above and below that speed there is a
decrease in tbe amount of active work
as compared with the non-productive
energy. A man walking fifteen or six
teen miles a day, or doing an equiva
lent amount of work in another form,
would require 23 ozs. of food, composed
of albuminates 4'tt ozs.,fat 3 ozs.tarch
14'3 ozs., and salts 11. ozs. This would
yield a potential energy of 4.430 foot
tUDB, and 300 foot tuns for productive
work. A mere subsistence diet for a
man at rest would be 13 ozs., but with
this amount a man would lose weight.
About 7,000 foot tuns a day of poten
tial energy is about the greatest amount
which is possibleas a permanency. This
would yield 600 foot tuns of productive
work. These calculations apply only
to men in health.
Iron Columns in Buildings. By a re
rent invention, the principle of the
fire-proof sate is applied to the forma
tion of iron pillars or columns in archi
tecture. As in the case of the common
iron pillar in use, a solid cast-iron col
umn sustains the whole weight of the
superstructure, but, in this improved
arrangement, there is outside of tbe
solid column a thin cast-iron shell, and
the space intervening between tbe
outer shell and the inner column is
tilled with plaster-of-Paris, the non
ronducting properties of which are well
known. So weight is allowed to rest
on the outer shell or the non-conductor
that is used as tilling, their only mis
sion being to protect from the effects
of heat the real support of the building
the inner column. The plan is to
have these columns surmounted by an
iron T girder, which is inclosed in a
fire proof casting of a similar nature,
aud the junction between the pillar
and the girder is so formed tbat only
the protected portion of the one
touches the protected portion of tbe
other, while the casing forms a tight
joint, thus making the tire-proof armor
complete. The simplicity and effici
ency of this plan are obvious. These
columns, it is stated, are intended to
take the place of the ordinary iron
columns in ornamental fronts of build
ings, as well as tbe interior of large
warehouses where such- supports are
needed.
Veneered Diamonds. The enterpris
ing capitalists who are pecuniarily in
terested in tbe Keely motor will doubt
less be glad to learn of another great
discovery, which promises results cer
tainly as astounding as those due to the
"watery vapor." Abundant opportu
nities for investment are offored. The
discoverer has worked twenty-eight
years at tbe process, a little more than
double Keely's time ; and unlike the
latter colossal genius, he doesn't keep
the secret to himself, or lock it in tbe
bosoms of a chosen few, but spreads it
before an astonished world in this wise.
Any body can try it for himself, and
have a small Golconda in an incredibly
short time. We extract fiom gigan
tic advertisements in the daily jour
nals, the "Process of Producing the
Parisian Diamonds"
"The bodv is of crystal, which is the
hardest and best substance that could
possibly be used for the purpose. Then,
after the crystals are cut in proper
shape, they are put into a galvanic
battery, which coats them over with a
liquid, that is made of diamonds which
aie too small to be cut and the chip-
pings and cuttings that are taken off
of diamonds during the process of
shaping them. I bus all of the small
particles of diamonds that have here
tofore been comparatively worthless,
can now, since this great discovery, be
used to produce diamond liquid.''
According to Winkler there are at
present four aluminum manufactories.
which produce 33 cwt. per annum. Of
this quantity 20 cwt. goes to France
and 13 to England. Aluminum is also
made in Berlin. The price for a num
ber of years has been f 13 to $ 13 per
pound. It is not probable that it will
be produced cheaper than that. This
fact, with its uurhangeabiiity and
lightness, being three times lighter
than copper, four time lighter than
silver, and seven or eight times lighter
than gold, renders it excellently adap
ted to coin, especially as it is easily
cornea.
Uoppe-Seyler believes tbat the state
ments made from time to time as to
tbe existence of live fish in the water
of hot springs are probably based noon
errors of observation. He has observed
that the fish invariably confine their
gambols to certain cooler currents, ab
ruptly conterminous with the hotter
ones, instant death being the penalty
for overstepping tbe boundary between
tnem.

A Frenchman has discovered a way
of making black paint from smoke. He
projects a shower of water into the

VaRXIshISO ajm Blackixq Leather.
Leather tbat is to be varnished or
lacquered must first be well stretched
out, so as to remove what is known as
tbe "natural stretch ;" it is, therefore,
necessary to prepare frames of the re
quisite size, and tack the edges all
around, the grain side, which is to be
lacquered, being up. After being se
cured in this manner, the whole surface
u dampened and all wrinkles, dec,
stretched out; it can then be rubbed
over with a piece of fine sand or pumice
stone, having a large, true face. This
rubbing assists to remove wrinkles and
other irregularities. The face of the
leather is then covered with finely -pulverized
chalk, and rubbed with a piece
of sandpaper or pumice stone until the
chalk is well rubbed into the leather;
all loose chalk Is then removed by a
duster, and the leather Is again rubbed
with pulverized pumice stone, so as to
secure as smooth and fine a surface as
possible. The smoother and evener the
leather is the less trouble will it be for
tbe workman to produce a good job. As
soon as the surface of the leather has
been brought to the proper condition it
is well cleaned off, when it is ready to
receive the color; this is mixed with
lac varnish, several coats of which are
to be applied, though each should be
quite thin aud well rubbed off with
pumice stone before applying the suc
ceeding one. After being rubbed with
pumice stone tne . suriace must be
cleansed with a moist sponge and well
dried, as ever so small an amount left
on the surface will deaden the luster.
After a sufficient quantity of color has
been put on, apply a coat or elastic copal
varnish, and place the leather where it
can be dried in an even temperature,
but it must not be exposed to the sun
until it is thoroughly dry. After the
varnish is perfectly dry the surface may
be rubbed with a piece of felt and fine
chalk, then wiped clean with a linen
rag and polished with an old piece of
UK.
Good Yeast. Cut up two pounds of
pared potatoes, put them in a large
saucepan, pour over them three quarts
of water, and boil ; before the potatoes
are sufficiently cooked, add a good heavy
nan ounce or bops, tied ui in a very
thin cotton bag, (if hops boll too long
they make the bread very bitter.) In a
large kitchen bowl, put a pound orsirted
flour, two large heaping tablespoonfuls
of white sugar, one large heaping table
spoonful of salt, and a tablespoonful of
ground ginger. When the potatoes are
soft enough to mash through the
colander, put the hop bag Into a pitcher,
and pour over it all the potato and hop
water; pour one quart of the boiling
potato and hop water over the flour.
ic, and give it a good mixing; then
masn tne potatoes tnrougn a colander
into it, using the second quart of boiling
potato and hop water, to soften the pota
toes through tbe colander. If you do
not have two quarts of potato and hop
water, pour souie boiling water over the
bop bag, and squeeze. The flour must
be thoroughly cooked with the boiling
hop water, and you must mix it well.
and rub it smooth of all lumps. To
prevent tne yeast chilling too soon, have
the big bowl, pitcher, and yeast crock
heat'-d before using.- It should never
be thinner than will just pour, but if
you think it necessary you can use a
little more than the two quarts of bop
water, but two quarts are generally
sufficient. Place the colander over the
yeast crock, and strain your yeast into
it. Many do not think this necessary,
and only mix it in their yeast crock.
When a little more than lukewarm add
a large coffee cup full of yeast, stir it
frequently, and keep it in a moderately
warm place for twenty-four hours, theii
put it in the coolest and darkest part of
the cellar. Use a two or three gallon
earthen crock, (tin, glass or stone ware
chill too soon), with a lid fitting well to

How to Avoid Colds. An editorial
in the Britinh Mtdical Journal on catch
ing cold concludes thus; "The practi
cal considerations which are the out
comes of this review of the pathology of
colds are these : Never to wear wet
clothes after active muscular exertion
has ceased, but to change them at once;
to meet the loss of the body heat by
warm fluids and dry clothes; to avoid
long-sustained loss of heat which is not
met by increased production of beat ; to
increase the tonicity of the vessels of
the skin by cold baths, etc., so educating
them to contract readily on exposure,
by a partial adoption, indeed, of the
'hardening' plan; to avoid too warm
and debilitating rooms and tem-ierature;
to take especial care against too great
loss of heat when the skin is glowing;
and to prevent the inspiration of cold
air by the mouth by some protecting
agent, as a respirator. We can readily
understand how a respirator should be
an effective protection against winter
bronchitis in those so disiosed."
A Home Made Sash Fastener. A
correspondent of the Rural llnne de
scribes a simple and convenient window
fastening by which the sash can be held
iu place at any desired height; make ail
almond shaped button about two inches
long, and an inch broad at the base;
screw this on the sash within one inch
of the strip on the window wherein the
sash slides; cut two or three notches iu
said strip one-fourth of an inch deep,
and cut out upwards to a sharp edge.
When raising the window with one
hand, with the other press the button's
point into thei.otch, at whatever height
you wish it. A reversed notch can be
cut near the bottom to turn the button
into, to secure it from being opened on
the outside. We have these in use over
five years, and do not know that we
would exchange for the most approved
patent springs. A pocket knife aud
gimlet are all the tools needed to make
them, and in an hour all the windows in
the house cau be fixed.
French Cream Cake. Beat three eggs
and one cup of sugar together thor
oughly; add two tablespoonfuls of cold
water; stir a teaspoonful of baking
powder Into a cup and a half or Hour;
sift the flour in stirring all the time in
one direction. Bake iu two thin cakes;
split the cakes while hot, and fill in the
cream prepared in the following man
ner: To a pint of new milk, add two
tablespoontuls or corn-starch, one beaten
gg one-half cup of sugar, stir while
cooking, and when hot put in a piece of
butter the size or an egg; navor tne
cream slightly with lemon, vanilla, or
pineapple.
Ix preparing lard for the market, it
should first be cut into pieces about tbe
size of a walnut, aud these should be
allowed to stand in water for half an
hour. Then work the material with
the bands in 5 or 6 successive portions
of water. Next pour off the water, melt
tbe lard In a water bath, and strain
through fine linen. In tbe first strain
ing, it will be impossible to get rid of
all the water, so that after cooling and
draining, It will be necessary to remelt
tbe lard and finally to filter It through
paper iu a warm closet.
A remarkable article called fish flour
has been brought forward in the last
few years. It is not as yet manufactured
in any great quantity, as the article is
still new In the market, and consequently
there is no great demand for it- The
flour is prepared from dried fish of the
first quality ; it Is thoroughly desiccated,
and then ground in a mill.

As Eccentric Moox. Thomas Brown
was employed at the theater a few years
ago as a kind of utility man, and one
night the manager put him behind the
scene at the rear of the stage, to take
care of the moon. Brown had a candle
on the end of a long pole, and it was his
duty to hold the light behind the moon,
which was a round nnpainted space in
the curtain, and to pull the curtain
slowly up, to represent tbe rising of the
moon. Brown seated himself on a piece
of baronial castle, and, while waiting
for the order to go to work, he fell
asleep. Presently the tragedian on the
stage said to the heroine: "Swear by
you bright moon," etc, etc., and turned
to point to it, but tne oro oi nignt was
not there. The - staze-manager flew
around and gave Brown a kick, and in
a frenzy ordered him to "h'ist that moon
quick." Brown was bewildered, and,
without waiting ror runner oruers, ne
ran tbe curtain clear up with one jerk,
when the cord broke, and down it came
again. Another string was hurriedly
rigged on the pulley, ana tne moon oe
gau to rise properly; but .Brown's
nerves were so unstrung by fright that
he couldn't hold tbe candle steadily be
hind it. so that there were fifteen or
twenty eclipses during the ascent, the
light meanwhile wandering all over the
curtain, to the infinite amusement of
the audience. However, tbe luminary
got safely ud at last, and the tragedian
again observed : "Swear by you bright
moon;" but before tbe words were
fairly out the cord snapped again, the
curtain unrolled with velocity, and
broke loose from the roller, revealing
Brown, the lunar elevator, roaming
around in his shirtsleeves with a candle
on a stick. A momeut later the manager
was fumbling among his hair, and that
very night Mr. Brown closed his thea
trical career. The manager remarked
to a confidential friend that while a man
who was able of making the same moon
rise three times in one night, and of
getting any number of eclipses and other
astronomical phenomena, might be
valuable for some purposes, he was
about as fit for a theater as a wall-eyed
mule was for singing hymns.
Taxxed Axyhow. Giing np street,
one of the recent cool days, a man saw a
boy about eleven years of age seated on
the sidewalk, bareheaded, In the full
blaze or tbe sun.
"Bub, you ought not to sit there,"
said the man. '
"Why?"
"Because you'll get all tanned up."
"Makes no difference to me whether I
sit in the sun or shade," sadly answered
the boy ; "mother tans me up three or
four times a day, anyhow."
Ax old Highlander, rather fond of
his toddy, was ordered bv his phvsician,
during a temporary illness, not to ex

how much an ounce was. "Sixteen
drachms, was the reply. "Sixteen
drams! An excellent doctor !' replied
the delighted Highlander. "Run and

Johx Hexrt had a guest at dinner
the other day, and during a pause in the

"Why, you have painted her listening
