A Bride's Dowry in Inbia. One of the danghters of Meer Goolam i / Baba, Newab of Snrat, has just been married, and this is what the people ; 3aw who gathered to watch the bride's ' dowry carried to the bridegroom's house: j?- ? A cavalcade of elephants, horses, carriages and palkees led the procession. ; After them came a number nf female ! Bervants, all in snow white clothes, each Rearing in her hands a covered tray. About fifty youth3 followed with rose fc water dec inters of silver on silver ir*-" salvers. Then came 500 coolies, some with magnificent bedsteads, with curtains, piliocs, etc., others with swings, benches, boxes, cupboards of various designs, sofas, chairs, tables, and, in V.. phort, all the paraphernalia of a modern house. These were followed by seventy iivfcj women, t-acu uaixyuig ? uav ux pweetmeats.

Of a lady who died in Pittsb urg, Pa. - $ short time ago the CommercialGazette says: '-She was a model woman in all the relations of life, whether as daughter, wife, mother, sister, friend or Christian. She was a model in her fchonghtf alness and care for her parents ia their declining years. She was a model in th? confidence she t>laced in ! her husband and her interest in his j | . success. She was a mo3 el in the affec- i tion she bestowed on her children and ! her solicitude for their souls' salvation, j She was a model in the example she | set for her sisters to follow. They were all disposed to take her as fuch. She was a model as a fri-nd, in that she was *a friend at all times.' She was a model in the cons?3tent, godly life she lived and .the ipeacefnl, triumphant death she uied. She -was altogether unselfish,' she was kind, she was benevolent, she was charitable. She was forgiving, she was meek, she was nam Die, sae was unristian-JiKe, sue ~ ^-believed, she trusted, she worked, she made home happy, and, when a stranger entered the home circle to sojourn for a little, it ?as but a little while until E|k. he felt he was In the sunshine. She was never idle, and tht> work she had to do at hoine, in the church or institutions for charity, she did well" Not less than ninety per cent of the women and five per cent, of the men of the United States wear more or less false hair. The enormous consumption of the artificial and natural pro duct suggests the fact, fearful but true, that nine women out of every ten about Hue street, m cue cuiucu or on me cars, ; charming or ugly to a line, have on a wig or a weft, a baodsau or a prepared net, bangs or waves, arranged at the hair-dresser's. Some people think that blondes never grow . gray-headed. The fact is, onethird of white shreds may be mingled with stich hair and few will notice it. The same proportion of blonde-headed people turn gray as those with any other colored hair. The proportion of people who dye their hair is also, surprising. Some twenty per cent, are taid to do this. Of course the greater proportion of these people are white-haired people. ? A white head is often, though not always, a sign of a life of trouble. The dresser is more than often amused by requests from the country course, comprise an article that "will curl easily by application of water, and are easily supplied. Cnrly hair has been the fashion for a year or more. Of the two, human hair is the most called for. "Hair raising" is a sort of industry in Europe. The peasant ^irls, who are mnch in the open air, get their heads cropped once a year, and thus furnish a portion of the supply. They jpjf - are satisfied with a stipend so small that an American woman would scorn to touch six times its value. Of the material imported.

The method of seeding down to grass depend 8 somewhat npon the kind of soil and the season. As a rule it is best to seed down with grass-seed alone, in the early fall about the middle of August, and sow half a ponnd of turnipseed with the grass. Timothy and clover more often make a good catch in this way than when sown with or upon grain, or even alone in the spring. Spring sowing had better be done with oats or barley, as a dry time in June or Jc'.y will eoon destroy the young grass if it is exposed without protection to the full force of the hot son. Springsown grass cannot be mowed the same season. But fall-sown grass may, especially if it is orchard-grass. An excellent. mixture of grasses for sowing alone in August is five pounds timothy, ten pounds orchard-grass, three pounds meadow fescue, three pounds each of yellow and tali oat grass, and five pounds of red-top per acre. This makes a dense sod and gives early and a late mowing of pasture. Fattening Swine. "in lattenmg swine tnev onen reacn a point where corn fails to satisfy, bnt lictle corn is consumed and the hogs do rot increase in weight. The tronble is that the corn is too hard for fattening. Then try soaking it for twenty-four hours before feeding. This is cheaper than grinding and cooking, and it is claimed to be better for fattening swine. In soaking com it develops a sweetness similar to that found in green corn and called glucose. Corn in this state is much relished, and is very fattening. In a dry state this sweetness remains undeveloped." In the culture of corn,'where planting is confined to distances not exceeding two, to two and a half feet between the rows and hills, the corn thrives better and suffers less from drought than where the distances are four feet. Ooe j main reason why corn grown so closely ] is superior in growth is because the ground is shaded and evaporation pre- I vented the plant acting to a certain extent the part of a mulch. One reason why the frequent use of the cultivator is so highly beneficial is because it breaks up the continuous capillary tubes in the ground that facilitate the evaporation of moisture and transforms | the upper layer of soil into a sort of loose mulch.?[Western Agriculturist. Test for Seed Corn. The Prairie Farmer offers the following as a test relative to the vitality of seed corn: "The seed will be plump, bright, and without any wasted appearance in the 'skin' where the grains come together. If the grain is cut across, or if carefully peeled down, the 'chit' (germ) will show the same bright, fresh appearance. Such seed placed between the folds of moist cloth or pressed into soil in a flower pot, moist at a temperature of .seventy to eighty degrees, should germinate in three days. There is one point, however, to be remembered in the germination of seed, that is, the older the seed the slower it germinates, 3 -1 * 1 ??? Jfc TTT1 t 1 &UU R1SU, as tk ruic, tuo xcoo iu n;u develop as a plant; yet the seed-bearing qualities do not thereby seem to bs injured. On the contrary very often the seed yield of a plant is diminished by a too luxuriant growth, and from a wellknown law. "It is well-known that the Indians had a erode but pretty sure way of saving seed com. How was it ? Husking it when ripe, hanging it up in the wigwam in the smoke of the fire, and just before' winter burying it, secure from moisture, in the ground. A more civilized and better plan is to husk per-, fectly ripe and bright ears, select the best, trice them up in a dry, airy bft secure from mice and otiier vermir.." Floors for Hone Stables. The long debated question as to the best material for stable floors is being again revived. A clay floor was adhered to by some for years, and such was the earnestness of its advocates and the many arguments brought to bear upon it that we w*re induced some twenty years ago to try it. In three or our months we had the planks back again, being satisfied of the disadvantage of clay for this purpose. Our present floor of plank is simpiy inclined a little from front to rear, where the usual gutter is made to carry off the liquid voidings. We do not believe in sand, -coal ashes, sawdust, asphaltum, flags, cobblestones or any of these modern devices to injure horses. Thus far we have never noticed that this little inclination was in any way injurious, and we doubt whether the wooden grating that we frequently see placed over the planking that some use would be advisable on the ground ! that the animal wonld be more comfcr: table, while this movable grating or second floor might lead to accidents. When a person can keep horses in a good, sound, healthy condition for five to seven years, as we have done, on a carefully constructed plank flooring inclining a little to the rear, it is just as well to be satisfied with it. Do what one will, holes will be dug by the stamp| ing of the feet in the clay, and these will be filled with moisture, which will np^Ac;qa.riiv rpisnlfc in scratches, auarter crack, etc. If the clay is leveled ofi and beaten down daily it will make no difference. Sometime ago we visited a number of stables where many horses were kept, and we encountered only one which was composed of anythiDg bnt wood. Of course there will be new things?inventions?springing up which are to meet and overcome every objection, and there will be some to adopt them, but we shall be satisfied with what we have until there is something produced about which there will be no mistake.?

Holland, a few miles from Amsterdam, called Brnek, pronounced brook, "Broek in "Waterland." It kd3 teen famous, nobody ran tell how long, for its cleanliness; and not only that, but for the fanciful style of the houses and yards and gardens and streets. The people, thoagh only peasants, are all rich, and all feel a pride in their town; it seems to be the great business of their lives to keep their houses freshly painted, their gardens in perfect order, and theii yards and streets as clean as a parlor. No carts are allowed in the streets and no cattle. Ttough the raising of stock and making butter and cheese is their occupation, a stranger would never imagine that there were any cattle in the region, unless he W9nt to the beautiful green meadows back of the houses, or the stables out there where the cows are kept in stalls scrubbed and washed like a kitchen. The streets are too fine and nice for the feet of animals to step on; all paved with polished stones, intermingled with bricks of different colors, and kept so scrupulously clean that a lady could walk anywhere in white satin slippers. Every house has a little yard in front but no shrubs or vines or flowers in it, or even a tuft of grass. They are all carefully paved with colored stones in the figures of animals or birds or trees or tulips, or something in designs which make one think of some of the monstrosities one sometimes sees in heartn rugs, sucn as scarlet Dears, green horses, blue trees and the like. The houses ar9 painted in the bright est colors, ju3t as the owner fancies; in vermilion, pea-green, pink, purple, orange or anything else that is gay and gorgeous and queer; and the roofs are covered with tiles varnished till they shine like new silver. Every day the stones in the yard are washed and polished, and slippers are placed at the door so that any one going in, stranger or dweller there, must take | off his boots or shoes before setting , foot in the house. Inside, everything is as clean as constant scruoomg ana !! painting and varnishing and rubbing ! and polishing can make it. The floors, j of black and yellow marble inlaid, are ! kept slippery as glass from so much j friction ; all the wocd-work glistens, 1! and everything that is made of metal is 1 i dazzling as burni jhed brass. There is I nothing in all the world like it. 1 There are large gardens between the ' houses, where there are trimly laid-out 1 beds of such choice flowers as tulips and hyacinths and the rarest of bulbs; and 1 all about are set up images as grotesque 1 as heathen idols; and thesfc are io ! keeping with the strangeness of everyI i.v: sum g eise.

Carious Types of Human Nature. To study man, we must use the old adage of the classic philosophy?"divide and conquer." Here are races, sex, color, languages country, size, age, education, condition of servitude, development of the nation, government, and a hundred other scientific means of classification. These, however, aie terms better known to science pure and simple than to us who pursue the study of mankind with our eyes open. Suppose, among the people whom we meet, we select the most curious and striking of the classes of them as they annear and are known amoncr common people. Here slang may take the place of vernacular, or rags and poverty be the garb of some of their spscies. They are yet mankind,'despite their disguises, and as truly belong to the rude classes of men as the barbarian and the savage. Before us then pass in review five outcasts?the tramp, the "hoodlum,'' the "beat," the "gamin," the street Arab. The tramp is a demoralized man. He is full grown, and has once been a man, with capacities for usefulness, with some considerable education. I never saw an "ignorant" tramp, but his faculties have by some excess, or by some waste of vitality, slowly slipped away from him. He is not capable of committing any organized crime, or any mischief requiring forethought and calculation. He is an impulsive animal, comparatively harmless when not roused to frenzy, but utterly untrustworthy and wholly good for nothing. There is no hope whatever of his reformation. The "hoodlum" is a boy. He may, by slang language, properly be called a "kid." Irresponsible, genial, cheiry, cordial, witty, innocent withal, and perfectly trustworthy when his affections are wholly engaged, he makes a most promising pupil in any science which he is ready to master, and is a hopeful subject for reformation, if he | will stand the training. Bat he is tent Ja* J tm* 11 i^arrm rtnrl ah 4>a/\ UCJt) QliU T*1 JUL UUTTU wv strong pressure. The "beat" differs from the tramp in that he does not wander from place to place. He selects his field of operation, goes deliberately to work, plans to get his dinner or his privilege?for nothing, of conrse?and generally accomplishes his object. He can be easily managed, and is rarely offended by plain talk. The "gamin," a French importation stays anywhere, goes to the Theatre Comiqne, where he whistles, applauds is delighted above measure by the good things he sees. He sells newspapers, blacks boots, tells the truth when to his own interest, disappears at fifteen years of age, goes, nobody knows where; but his place is speedily filled by another done very little with. All boot-blacks are not gamins, but very respectable people generally. The street Arab is a wild animal. In a crowd, he is npon the edge thereof. When a fight occurs, he is either a spectator or an actor. Bis clothing is thin and narrow and miserably shabby. Bat he is as cheerful as any melancholy animal can be; philosophically makes the best of everythin?. If yon catch him, make a note of him, for seldom does he come ont of civilized regions. He can never dwell in honses; he loves the pnre air where he roves. Education would ruin him, culture make him still more melancholy. And thus five classes of people may be found in every society. Such is their character, as distinctly stamped upon them as the die stamp upon a silver dollar. Ocean's Myriads. There is a fish in the sea which is very numerous, as muuu ?u as me uuu. or herring, yet which is rarely or ever seen. If it could be got it would be a fine food fish, and add greatly to the market supplies on the Eastern coas$ It is known as the tile fish, and ic abounds along the western edge of the | Gulf stream, in seventy-five fathom water, of a temperature between forty and fifty degrees- Attention has recently been attracted to this fish by the fact that something has occarred in the ocean's depths to kill great numbers of i them. Along tho coast from Sandy ! Hook to Nantucket, myriads of tile j fish were found dead during Mirch j last. It is a mystery what caused their ! destruction. The scientists are puzzled.

A diligent exploration of the pleistocene caves of England and France, during the past twenty years, has thrown some light upon their mode of life. Not a trace of pottery has been fonnd anywhere associated with their remains, so that it is quite clear that the cave-men did not make earthenware vessels. Borntclayisa peculiarly indestructible material, and where it has once been in existence it is sure to leave plentiful traces of itself.

Sketches of reindeer, mammoth, horses, cave-bears, pike and seal and hunting scenes have been found by the hundred incised upon antlers or bones, or sometimes upon stone; and the artistic skill which they show is really astonishing. Most savages can make rude drawings of ob jects in which tfcey feel a familiar interest, but such drawings are usually grotesque, like a child's attempt to depict a :man as a ciort of figure eight, with four straight lines standing forth from the lower-half to represent the arms and legs. But the cave-men, with a piece of sharp-pointed flint, would engrave on a reindeer antler an outline of a urns so accurately l;hat it can be clearly distinguished from an ox or a bison. And their drawings; are remarkable not only for their accuracy, but often equally so for the taste and vigor with which the subject is treated. iumong uncivilized races of men now living, there arenone which possess this remarkable artistic talent save the ?ski -3 Tfl i\nrr>_ mo8; anu. in ijuio icape^i. wcie m plete similarly between the Eskimos and the cave-men. But this is by no means the only point of agreement between the Eskimos and the cave-men. Between the sets of tools and weaponB used by the one and by the other the agreement is also complete. The stone spears and arrowheads, the sewing-needles and skinscrapers, used by the Eskimos are exactly like the similar implements found in tne pleistocene caves of Fiance and England. The necklaces and armlets of cut teeth and the daggers made from antlers, show an equally close correspondence. The resemblances are not merely general, but extend so far into details that if modern Eskimo remains were to be put into European caves they would be indistinguishable in appearnnoa fw.Tv, 4-Via romoirq /if t.hft OftVA-TOfiTl CfcJLlVsC JLLV/XLL VUV .?. , ? . . which are now found there. Now, when these facts are taken in connection with the facts that the cave-men were an arctic race, and especially that the musk-sheep, which accompanied the advance of the <?ve-men into Europe, is now found only in the country of the Eskimos, though its fossil remains are scattered in abundance all along a line stretching from the Pyrenees through Germany, Rusuia and Siberia?when these facts are taken into connection, the opinion of Mr. Dawkins, that the cave-men were actually identical with the Eskimos, seems highly plausible. Nothing can be more probable than that, early or middle pleistocene times, the Eskimos lived all about the arctic circle, in Siberia and Northern Europe as well as in North America; tnat dur 13-1 ti -f mg c ue coiaeau pu.cnu.uo <ji iuc guvuu period they found their way as far South as the Pyrenees, along with the rest of the sub-arctic mammaliau fauna, to which they belonged; and that, as the climate grew warmer again, and vigorous enemies from the South began to press into Europe and compete with them, they gradually fell back to the Northward, leaving behind them the innumerable relics of their former presence, which we find in the late pleistocene caves of France and England.

[Atlantic Monthly. The Floating- Homes or Bangkok. Boats are the universal means of conveyance and communication, and a boat thns becomes a necessary adjunct to every person's household. To its dexterous use every child is trained. Men, women and children are equally accustomed. Perhaps the most common nrm is a stout skiff about twentyfive feet long, turning up very sharply and high behind, like a Venetian gondola. It is broad in the beam, and twothirds of its length is housed over, leaving a little flat deck in front and a still umaller one behind. H hind stands the husband and sculls; in front stands the wife rowing and using a boat-hook to help their way through the crowds The front of the boat is used for business, passengers or cargo.

Increase in the Circns Basiness. Since I860, says a New York paper, the improvement in circuses has been great. In that year Lewis B. Lent, proprietor of the New York circus, which exhibited on Fourteenth street, commenced traveling by rail. The innovation was an important one, and the other circuses were eventually compelled to follow. Van Amburg's was the last to leave the "road." Lent's original train consisted of "12 cars." He had no menagerie, but gave a fine i ?11 A 11 fircf I ITIllg HUUVV. .UHU^JXtUlOOHO i/ubiuui uiou {appeared in his circus. He did much to elevate the business. He compelled the perfcrmers to wear proper attire, and would not permit vulgarity in speech or action. Things have changed greatly since Lent's circus train was whirled through the country. Big circuses nowadays require three trains aggregating forty-five cars. Besides from three to five cars precede them, the first by four or fire weeks. Until law years wagons were used for this purpose, but these were not magnificent enough. The catapult and electric light are late additions. The employes are fed on the ground by the circus managers, and only the principal performers go to a hotel. "Where forty horses used to be the limit from two to three hundred were employed before the circuses took the rail. One tent this year will be four hundred and fifty by two hundred fe6t in dimensions. The expenses of a big circus amount to S3,500 a day. The largest amount taken in, in a single 5ay, is $14,000?the receipts of a show j ft Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, last season. I It is often the case that three perform j ances are given in a single day?m tee | morning, afternoon, and evening. And ! the side-shows are a great deal larger ! than the earlier circuses.

But at last I thought of that picture which I had often looked at with but little interest, and then Mr. Hall came to my bedside, and, telling me how St. Jacobs Oil had cured him of a worse and longer standing case than mine, urged me to use the same remedy. I did so that very night, directing my wife not to spare it but to apply it thoroughly according to the directions, which she did with a large piece of flannel cloth saturated with the Oil, and then bound the cloth to the afFecled part?. The next morning I was free from pain, and although a little sore in the hip was able to dress myself, and the next day I resumed my duties in the office as sound as a dollar.
