A party of Chinese tumblers, lately
introduced into the Chinese theater,
San Francisco, are indeed marvels in
their line. A number of athletic Mon
golians appear, stripped to the waist,
and begin a sort of combat on tbe stage.
At first the fighting appears to be pro
miscuous; but Fix or eight finally ally
themselves against one man and try to
overcome him bv springing against hint
and striking him full in the breast with
the soles of their feet. He meets this
curious mode of attack by standing like
a statue, while the others fall heavily
upon the floor. A number of tables are
next brought out and piled or.t above
the other until a height of abotn twenty
feet is obtained. A performer, whose
weight in no less than 150 lbs., mounts
theui, and, springing in the air toward
the lloor and the stage, strikes both feet
with a heavy thud upou the bare breast
of a man standing about ten feet from
the foot ot the tables, throwing him vi
olently to the floor. How a man can
tand such a blow is a mystery. Again
the agile acrobat ascends to the top ta
ble, and. springing upwards, turns a
somtrsault, while all the tables, except
the lower one, are suddenly taken
away. Upon the only table left he falls
with a force apparently great enough
to break every bone in his body; but he
leaps up again immediately and turns
back hand'iprings across the stage.
Again he climbs to the top of the tower
t tables while a second lies down upon
a table a few feet from the base of the
tower. Turning a somersault in mid
air he falls upon the other body, the
two breast to breast, and bounds oft
again with a second somersault. Other
acrobats climbed to various altitudes
and fell upon the stage, alighting square
upon their backs with a force which
was astonishing. These feat are all
executed by meu in a semi-nude condi
tion, so that there is no chance for pad
ding their clothes. While the Ameri
cans iu the theater applaud, the Chinese
make no demoiii-trations of approval,
but sit looking stolidly on. The mana
gers informed the reporter of the ban
Francisco Call that the tumblers are
trained from childhood, and become
habituated to tbe terrible concussions
only by years of practice. He added
that many are killed in training, or
iiiaimed for life. None of their leal
are graceful, but simply indicate a tre
medous amount of strength, nerve, and
endurance.

What is the cure for gossip? Simply,
culture. There is a exeat deal of irossin
that lias no malignity in it. Good
natured ieople talk about their neigh
bors because, and only necause, mey
have tiotliine else to talk about. As we
write, there comes to us the picture of
a family of young ladies, " e nave seen
them at home, we have met them in
galleriesof art, e have caught glimpses
of them going from a bookstore, or a
library, with a fresh volume in their

They are brimming with questions.
One topic of conversation is dropped

refreshed; and during the whole hour
not a neighbor s garment was soiled by

thing to talk about. They knew some
thing, and wanted to know more. Tbey
could listen as well as they could talk.
To speak freely of a neighbor's doings
and belongings would nave seemed an
impertinence to them, and, of course,
an impropriety. They had no tempta

And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either mali
cious or Ignorant, the one variety
needs a change of heart and the other a
change of pasture. Gossip is always a
personal confession either of malice or
imbecility, and the young should not
only shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all
temptation to induge in it. It is a low,
frivolous, and too often a dirty business.

Dr. Holland writes as follows In
Scribner' Monthly on the subject of
winter amusements :
It is an easy thing to establish, either
in country or city neigh borhoods. the
reading club. Twenty-five young men
and women of congenial tastes, habits,
and social belongings can easily meet in
one another' houses once during every
week through five or six months of the
year. With a small fund they can buy
good books, and. over these, read aloud
by one and another of their number,
they can spend an hour and a half most
pl-asantly and profitably. They will
find in these books topics of conversa
tion for the remainder of the time they
spend together. If they can illuminate
the evening with music all the better.
Whatever accomplishments may be in
the possession of different member of
the club may be drawn upon to g ve
variety to the Interest or the occas.on,
This is entirely practicable everywhere.
It Is more profitable than amateur thea
tricals, and less exhaustive of time and
euenry. It can be united with almost
any literary object. The Shakespeare
Club is nothing but a reading club,
devoted to the study r' single author;
and Shakespeare ma well ;iiggaclub
for a single wi ter. iii club would
cultivate the art of good reading, which
is one of the best and most useful of all
accomplishments It would cultivate
thought, imagination, taste. In brief,
the whole tendency of the reading club
is toward culture the one thing, not
withstanding our educational advan
tages, the most deplorably lacking in fie
average American man ana woman.
The exercise may take a great many
forms which it is 'not necessary for us
even to suggest. .Books may be read.
original papers may be presented, musi
cal rehearsals may form a part of the
entertainment, products of art may be
exhibited, there may be dramatic and
conversational practice, and practice in
French and German. There is no limit
to tbe variety of exercises that may be
profitably entered upon.
The Teaeela f the Temple.
An Italian correspondent writes:
"Garabaldi's scheme to regulate the
course of the Tiber has probably now
here met with such approbation as in the
Ghetto of Rome, for the Jews hope that
by dredging the mud at the bottom of
the river, the silver and golden vessels
once used in the Temple at Jerusalem
might be found. These were carried to
Rome by Titus after the destruction of
Jerusalem. There they remained for
full three centuries, until the days of
the Vandal KingGenserich, w ho sacked
Rome, and put the vessels of the Temple
together with the rest of the booty on
ships, in order to carry them to Africa.
One of these vessels was wrecked be
tween Sicily and Africa, when most of
tier contents, and among them a dish ot
pure gold made by King Solomon,
weighing five hundred shekels, went to
the bottom of the sea. Another of the
ships is said to have foundered on the
Tiber, opposite to Rome, when several
of the vessels of the Temple went to the
bottom of the river." Jeaish Chronicle.
The Last Tenants.
The last European temple in which
public worship was paid to the old di
vinities is said to have been that of
Apollo at Monte Casano, which re
mained open uutil its destruction by
Benedict iu 529. Since then the human
mind has wandered iu many mazes and
labored under dreary hallucinations
without end. Who shall say, in these
days of decaying faiths, bow near Vol
taire's prediction may come to fulfil
ment f Day by day the claims of science
to universal priesthood are urged with
increasing confidence. The old my
thology stripped of its imagery, (it may
be said, unrealized aud resolved into
its pristine element, is a system of uat
ural philosophy ; and modern science in
iu latest phase is little more than a re
turn to the old opinions under a new
nomenclature. It woulu he strange,

promulgated so long ago, t-hould prove

Age aaxt Crises
Age materially influences the extent
and degree of crime iu both sexes. In
relation to physical and functional de
velopment, age exists as s defining force.
It apiear to affect the criminal careers
ol the sexes In two ways; by permitting
such a degree of bodily power to be
reached as to render possible criminal
acta in different degrees; and, tbe bodily
powers remaining the saioe, tbe varying
rueutal conditions produce changes in
the force and direction of the criminal
impulse. Each period of lire, therefore,
Is characterized by degrees aud qualities
of crime which belong to It. In other
words, certain phases of crime are per
petrated at one period of life in excess
of any other period. These remarks do
nit apply to both sexes equally, for
luese periods do not correspond either
as to age, or In the nature ol the offense,
tbe excess of which distinguishes one
period from another.

Planting Graib Vises. The In
crease in the production of grapes In
this country during the past few years
is simply enormous, snd the indications
are that at no distant day the quantity
of wine which can be supplied from
our own vineysrds will supersede the
necessity of importing at the expense
of so many million of coin, or its
equivalent, the product of the vine
which we now buy from foreign coun
tries. The great secret ot the wealth
of a nation is the supply of all its wants
within Iu own borders; and the people
of the South are now discovering the
mistake they made In former times or
discouraging manufactures in their
States, and which, happily, they are
now endeavoring to remedy by the es
tablishment of cotton mills and other
factories alongside of the products of
the soil required for their operation.
What we want now to Impress upon
every householder, as well as the far
mer, Is if they can do nothing more,;
they should at least plant out a vine or
two In their yards or gardens, as every
one who owns a small . piece of ground
can have plenty of the best varieties of
grapes, at no cost at all, simply by going
in tbe fall or early in tbe spring of the
year to farmers who have them,and get
ting some of the trimmings. Take them
and spade up a strip of ground on the
north side of the fence: take the vines
aud put two or three buds in the ground
leaving one out; keep tbe ground loose
and the weeds away, aud when the
shooU get ten or twelve inches long,
pinch off the end so tbe stalk will ma
ture better, and next spring plant out
eight feet apart each way. But before
planting, gatner up oiu oones otti oi
the woods, etc. Dik your holes three
feet square, aud two feet deep, throw
ing tbe soil n otw aide to itself. Xow
take the bo.. es, throw Into the holes;
next a little ashes, then the soil, then
the crapes, and las: fill with other soil
close around, not using the clay. We
will guarantee grapes to thrive and no
well, and always bear when treated
this way.

food in abundance, but feed corn spar
ingly, and, if at all, only in the coldest

the colt grow ; and exercise, with pro
tection from severe storm, will keep
him healthy. It it is indispeiisible
that he should run ont and take all the

way, should never be permitted, give

latter course as likely to develop the

to a healthy, h-iroionious develop

Kerosexe Hobse Liniment. A cor
respondent sends the following : ''It is
not as generally known as it ought to
be that kerosene oil is one oi the very
best remedies for strains, spraius, or
bruises that can be applied to the nV-'i
of beasts. I knew an instance in wh cli
a young colt got cast on its back iu a
manger; when taken out it was utterly
unable to stand or move iu hind limbs,
and so continued for some time, when
two or three applications of the oil,
twelve hours between, completely re
stored iu Tli is and similar facta led
me, when studying drugs several years
ago, to concoct the following, which I
named kerosene liniment: Kerosene
oil, one ounce; aromat spirits ammo
nia, three drachms; tine, stramouii,
two drachms; oil origanum, ' two
drachms; olmenthe, twenty drops;
chloroform, one drachm; spirits cam
phor, two drachms. This article is in
comparably superior to anything of its
kind for bruises, soreness of the mus
cles from any cause, or nervous pains.
Iu value however, will best be known
by iu use. Many a prescription has
been sold for $50, which, compared
with this, was not worth the paper it
was written on. Equally good for
beasts or men."
Scvmeb Fallowing. This practice
is gradually and deservedly falling into
disuse. Farmers are beginning to find
by experience that there are other
methods of cleaning the land and get
ting rid of weeds that are equally ef
fective, and less costly. The plowing
and cultivation which are found useful
in cleaning foul land can also be made
equally useful in producing a crop at
the same time if the right crop is se
lected, and the proper culture bestowed.
For the loss of time needlessly incurred
iu summer fallowing there is neither
reason nor excuse, as we intend to
show hereafter. The farmer's land is
his capital, and if he expects to suc
ceed in his business he cannot afford to
be carrying over idle capital from year
to year for a purpose that may be
equally effected iu another and better
way. The amount of loss incurred by
this practice is much greater than we
supposed, and it is quite time for far
mers to look into it.
Fall Plowixq. A correspondent of
the Jtural Home argues thus about fall
plowing: If land where there is no
sod is plowed in the fall and a heavy
snow comes upou it before being frozen
it is found about as hard as land not
plowed and no good comes of it ; but if
a clay soil is plowed when dry in the
fall, and is frozen hard during winter
it will be finer, aud work up lighter for
spring seeding. Clay soils uot well
drained and so situated that the surplus
water cannot get off w ill be injured by
throwing thetn up loose iu the tall, for
the raius will so saturate them that
they will be as hard as a bed or dried
mortar, and no after culture can bring
them into condition for a spring crop.
But with good drainage the opposite
conditions prevail.
Save hog manure now, as it is espe
cially valujble from fattening hogs.
As nearly all the nitrogen of the food
is contained iu the liquids voided, none
of it should be allowed to waste. Lit
ter the pens with an absorbent dry
earth or muck, or cut straw. Much of
the net pro-its ol stock comes from the
manure, bog included, anil yet not one
farmer iu ten saves half the hog ma
nure made. This is the kind of econ
omy that makes hard times. It is esti
mated that if all the mauure a pig
makes was saved proierly, it would
add, on an average, about two cents to
the value of each pound of pork. Ohio

Sats an old grain-grower: "In gath

Never take from a stalk having but one

Generally one of them is fit for seed,
snd that usually tbe second from the

The Com-Market And Sun-Spot.
We have heretofore recorded the ef
forts of sa rants to establish a relation
between tbe recurrence of sDJta on tbe
van and the fluctuations of tbe potato
disease. Mr. Schuster, studying the
same series of phenomena, has pointed
out that the years of good vintage io
Western Europe have occurred at
average intervals approximating to
eleven years, the avers ire length of the
principal sun-spot period. Later, Prof.
Stanley Jones, F. R. S., has endea
vored to prove that the price of corn
and tne variations of the sun-spots are
inseparably connected. A paper was
read by bim on the subject, a: the re
cent meeting Tf the British Associa
tion. The data regarding the price of
corn were taken from Prof. E. T. Ro
ger's History of Agriculture and
Prices in Enitland." in which is given
the prices of eotn modi ties in all parts
of EDglaud between the years 1359 and
1400. From calculations . based Ukd
the facts thus afforded, it was found by
Prof. Jones that the price of each kind
of produce examined rises in the first
four years of tbe sun-snot cycle, and
thence declines. The maxima prices
occur in the tenth, eleventh, first, se
cond, and third years of the cycle.
These reults, however, are considered
as merely prelininary, and requiring
further investigation. Yet more ex
tended consequences are indicated by
these observations. It is found that
commercial puics have tended to re
cur during the last fifty-four years in a
distinctly periodic niauner. The aver
age ltDgth of interval between the
principal panics is about 10.8 years,
nearly coinciding with 11.11, the length
of the solar-spot period. Ere long, it
annears from this, our commercial men
will look to the astronomers for a cer
tain prediction of the price of corn.
Another Application of Machinery.
The little machine sometime sioce in

steuographic writing may be accomp

three hundred words per minute, is
claimed to have proved a practical
Hiicrrss, It seems to be very simple.
There is a keyboard, operated by the
hand, aud composed of twelve black
and an equal mini tier of .white keys;
and ou each si do of the iustrument is a
large key. moved by a pressure of the

ary signs which simplify fie reading
of the characters printed. All the ke s.
when operated, produce indications in
ink on a roll of paper, which is taken
from a reel in a niauner similar to that
on the Morse telegraphic apparatns;
the black keys however, give long
marks, while the whi e one cause sim
ilar dots to lie tran-cribed. At each
pressure of the fingers on the key

The fact i now quite conclusively
shown by Prof. Laugley, who has gi
ven such careful study to the solar
spots, that in the penumbra there are
not only numerous small cyclones, and
even right and left-handed whirls in
the same spot, but probably currents
a-cendiug nearly vertically, while tbe
action of the 8uperposed approxi
mately horizontal currents is so gene
ral that they must be considered a per
manent feature in the study of meteo-
ology. The outer penumbra is, he
concludes, formed by a rupture; and
the penumbra is all but wholly made
up, it sppeats in a first examination, of
cloud-like torms. lue normal aaiK
ness of the outer pen n mora. Prof.
Langley declares, is nothiug el.-e than
the darkness of the grey medium in
which the granules float all over the
sun. though much deeper tints are here
and there fouud. which sometimes
make the penumbra itself resolvable
into a ring of little soots, and he
thiuks that filaments and granules are
one and the same thing in tact, though
presenting themselves in different as

has been usually supposed that in
sects of the moth and butterfly sorts
contiued themselves to food that was
accessible to a socking apparatus,
without any aid from a peuetrating
tool. The British Royal Microscopical
society have a elide containing the
proboscis of a carious unknown speci
men, which sets at naught the com
monly accepted idea. It terminates in
a sharn chitinous tooth, above which
are several saw-like teeth, and also
some teeth set the reverse way. Mr.
Mclntire who presented the slide to
the society, says that the insect from
which he obtained this organ was "a
drab colored moth, inclining to a red
dish brown." which he bought, with
other damaged specimens, "said to
come from West Africa." As be ob
serves, "this instrument would pierce
most vegetable structures, and wnen
penetration was atfecteil, the recurved
spines would act as hold-fasts, and en
able the insect leisurely to obtain its
food..'
A Seie Lirl; in Evolution. Prof. E. S.
Morse, of Salem, occasionally turns
from his specialty, the brachiopods,
and amuses himself with the study of
oilier recondite subjects in natural
science. Some time ago he determined
the fact that in embryonic birds there
are four taisal as well as four carpal

The Proper Time for Cutting Tree.
An exleusive inquiiy has beeu made in
Prussia into the effect upon the dura
bility of woods of the season at which
tbe trees are cat down. In general,
the wood felled when the sap is not
running has a decided preeminence as
to iu durability, strength, and density.
The heat given out in bumiDg wood
felled in December and January is also,
according to theseexperimenta, greater
than from woods cut in February and
March. ; -

Different Wats or 1'bipaiuno Cab
bage for the Table. An excellent
cold slaw is made by shredding a solid
head of cabbage with a thin, sharp
knife or a slaw cutter, then placing the
cut cabbage in your dish, pour over it a
dressing made by heating a pint of
vinegar scalding hot then beating into
It quickly one beaten egg, with a lump
of butter as large as a walnut, aud a
tablespoonful of sugar. The cabbage
should be slightly sprinkled with salt
aud pepper as it is put in the dUh.
To fry cabbage, chop or shred quite
fine, have a spider hot on the stove in
which is a small quantity of butter or
meat. drippings, season, and put in the
cabbage, and corer tight, stirring often
and taking rare it does not scorch on
the spider. Cooked iu this way it is
very sweet and nice.
Cabbage makes a nice dish also cooked
by dropping into salted boiling water,
and when tender taken out, minced fine
w ith a knife, then pouring over it a
dressing made by taking a piece of
butter the size of an egg, and a coffee
cupful of boiling water; cut np tbe
butler with a half teaspoonful of dour,
and stir it gradually into the hot water.
When it boils, stir in a desert-spoonful
of vinegar, and a dust of pepper, with
a little salt. For the sauce, thick, sweet
cream is an excellent substitute.
To Make Boiled Custard. Take a
pint and a half of milk, twelve drops of
almond flavoring, a bit ol stick cinna
mon, three ounees of loaf sugar. Beat
up the eggs with their whites iu a half
pint of the milk. Rub two of the lumps
of sugar on the rind of the lemon till
they are quite yellow ; then put in the
whole of the sugar, the pint of milk and
tbe cinnamon Into a saucepan. Let tbe
ingredients boil for five minutes; then
throw the whole out to cool for a short
time; then beat all up together with
the beaten eggs; return it to the sauce
pan for a few minutes, stirring over a
very slow fire till it thickens; then
strain it through a flue tin strainer into
a jug; put the almond flavoring into
another jug, and keep pouring the
custard out from one jug to the other
till it is cold. If it should be inclined
to turn to curd, which it will do u
boiled too rapidly or over too fierce a
lire, keep pouring it through the strainer
into the jug; w hen cold pour it care
fully into the glasses. Over the top of
the custards may be grated some very
fine nutmeg, or some blanche 1 almonds
cut np Into fine shavbig. The above
quantities will till from twelve to four
teen custard glasses according to the
size of the glass.
A Tf.st ron Eggs. Among the minor
trouble of city life Is the difficulty of
procuring a regular supply of iresn
eggs. lien we cannot remove our
woes, the next best thing is to try to
uiidertand them. So we devote this
paragraph to what will interest all out
of hearing ot the cheerful sounds of the
barn-yard. An egg Is generally called
fresh when it has been lam only one or
two days in Summer, and two to six
days in "Winter. The shell being porous,
the water in the luterior evaporates aud
leaves a cavity of greater or less extent.
The yolk of the egg sinks, too, as may
be easily see u Dy hoMIng it towards a
candle or the sun ; and wheu shaken, a
slight shock is felt if the egg is not
fresh. To determine the precise age ol
eggs, dissolve about four ounces of coin
mou salt in a quart ol pure water, and
then immerse tne egg. If it is one day
old it will descend to the bottom of the
vessel ; but if three days, will float in
the liquid. If more than five days old,
it will come to the surface aud project
above la proportion to its increased age.

A recent writer on household furni
ture says: "The next great comfort,
apart from a good bed, is a well made
chest of drawers or wardrolie. Have
you ever been aggravated by badly
made furniture? 1 have; and 1 know
of nothing more vexatious and torment
ing (in a small way) than to pull at
drawers that will not open, or w hich
come out all askew to push at those
which will not shut wuoe handles
come off chests which creak and shriek
and totter on three legs because the
fourth is rather too short. Don't buy
chests of drawers which are bauly put
together, even though they have a
tempting appearance may be inlaid or
with superior haudles, but are in reality
manufactured simply with a view to
catch the eye, and afterward displease
the owner in a dozen respects."
Practical Suggestions. Every little
while we read of one who has stuck a
rusty nail in his foot or some other por
tion of his person, and lockjaw has re
sulted therefrom. All such wounds can
be healed without any fatal consequences
following them. The remedy is simple:
It is only to smoke such wound, or anv
wound or bruise that is inflamed, with
burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take
pain out of the worst case of inflamma
tion arising from a wound we ever saw.
In caring for your fowls provide them
with a vessel of lime water for an occa
sional drink. It is prepared by pouring
hot water over quicklime, aud after the
lime is settled and the water covering it
has become clear, pour it off. It w ill
keep fit for use a considerable time.
To drive away rats, an English jour
nal gives the following recipe, which it

drive rats and mice out of the place;
they die of decline.

A VALUABLE WORK.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, distin
guished in surgery, and the general
practice in the profession he honors.has
made a valuable contribution to the
medical literature of the day, in a com
prehensive work entitled "The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser."
While scientific throughout, it is singu
larly free from technical and stilted
terms. It comes right down to the com
mon sense of every-day life. Dr. Pierce
is a noble specimen of American man
hood. He has sprung from the people;
and, with many sympathies in common
with the masses, has sought to render
them a substantial service in this the
great work of bis life. s

Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice oi a remedy.
The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for consumption, far exceeds all
that can be brought to support the pre
tensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing the
certificates of many persons of the high
est respectability, who have been re
stored to health, after being pronounced
incurable by physicians of acknow
ledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of
two other remedies which Dr. "Schenck
provides for the purpose. These addi
tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according
to directions. Dr. Sehenck certifies that
most any case of Consumption may be
cured.
Dr. Sehenck is professionally at his
