FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. |
Seasonable Farm Not??.
. Many farmers are unaware that corn
may bo husked by machinery, and
where a largt> orop in to be handled, will
be found a great help. Other helps for |
smaller growers will be found in some i
greatly improved husking gloves that
are now mado. They are a protection j
against cold, and effective.
In many places, in the Middlo and
Southern States for instanoe, a winter ]
pasture is very convenient, if not neces- j
sary. Rye is generally sown for this j
purpose on fields intended for a spring i
crop, or the crop is left to grow after j
having been pastured. Three bushels !
of ^ed should be sown, and the earlier '
the bettor.
Winter oats are ooming into favor in j
Southern States, and are being tested in 1
the Middle States. It furnishes fall and |
winter pasture, or a heavier crop of
grain than spring oats. Two bushels
per acre should be sown. The earlier it!

Rye is the flrst crop that can be used ;
in the spring for soiling purposes. Those >
farmers or dairymen who intend to soil |
any of their stock, can best begin now !
by sowing a piece of rye for early green j
feed. The ground is cleared in time for j
oats and peas mixed, or fodder corn. ;
To make soiling crops pay they must be j
richly manured, ai much labor is in- i
volved in this method of feeding stock, j
and only heavy crops will pay for the j
labor.
Forward crops of mangels or beets
may be thinned now to help out the fall
feed. Tbe more room the leaves have |
to spread, the riper and more nutritious
the roots will be.
The whole flock should now be looked
after. Sneep intended for market should !
be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

bles and bare pastures, but should be .
Bupplied liberally with all the food they |
can digest. They may now be coupled i
with the ram. For market lambs the '
Merino ewe crossed with a Cotswold i
ram, is perhaps the best choice, giving ;
large and rapidly growing lambs, which j
are easily fed and fatted. Experienced j
breeders have found no difficulty on account
of the ram, nevertheless, a moderate
sized, compact, heavy bodied ram
is preferable to a lanky, rangy animal.
Young stock of all kinds should be
prepared for winter. Get them in good
condition before the oold weather arrives,
or all is lost now that has been !
gained by the summer's feed. To keep j
them steadily growing at all seasons is j
the secret of raising profitable animals, i
More improvement is noticable in
swine than in any other stock, but un*
x _ 1 L I
less improvement is up uy uio u?o
of thoroughbred males, the stock will
go back. As a primary principle in
breeding, it may be said that a half-bred
or grado male shouid never be used to
produce stock. .For a sow that produces
ten young at once, it is the very
poorest economy to breed her to a poor
male; no stock pays better to improve
than swine, on account of the rapid increase.
Formers' Club Questions.
Can hams be kept during hot weather
free from insects or taint without the
protection of a smokehouse or perfectly
dark room ?
Sew each ham up in a canvas bag and
whitewash it, or rub them in wood ashes,
and pack them in barrels, covering them
with wood ashes.
I
Is there an effective preventive of fire j
blight ?
An experienced cultivator states that,
when properly performed, root pruning
is a preventive of fire blight; for medium
sized trees ho cuts about two feet
off, and goes deep enoagh to sever the
principal roots. If cut too far from the
ba*e cf the trunk the pruning will not
check the disease. Enrly spring i3 the
best time
Everybody knows that old pork barrels
should be thoroughly cleaned before
being used for new pork; but how
can it bo done, that is the question ?
A lye composed of strong wood ashes
and water applied with a stiff broom is
all that is required. The lye takes hold
of the greasy partioles, and will, with a
rigorous scouring, leave the barrels
aweet and clean. Thoroughly rinse in
oold wator to remove the ashos. Wash
again with boiling water, then rinse once
more with cold water, and the barrels
will be ready for use.
What recipe makes the best whitewash
for outside work ?
A whitewash that serves nearly as well
as oil paint on wood, brick and stone is
made by the following recipe, which has
been advised lately in several agricultural
journals: Slack one peck of new
lime with boiling water, cover dnring
the process to keep in the steam. Strain
the liquid and add a peck of salt, pre
viously dissolved in warm water, one |
and one-half pounds of rice paste and I
half a pound of finely ground whiting.
Add two and one-half gallons of hot water;
stir well and apply quite hot; half a
pound of glue, dissolved and stirred in,
will be a groat improvement; mix well
together, and let stand for several days.
Dried Tom&toea.
Housekeepers in the country, who
have many tomatoes and few cans, can
easily preserve a largo quantity of this
very easily raised fruit by drying it.
This method requires little outlay, and
comparatively little trouble. Scald and
peel the tomatoes, as for canting. Boil
them slowly in a porcelain kettle or
store jar until the original quantity is
reduced one-half. Then season them in
the proportion of a teaspoonful of salt
and Violf ft mirifnl nncrar fn a fyallnn r\f
stewed tomatoes. Spread on the plates
and dry qnickly, without scorching. As
the moisture dries away and the stewed
fruit takes shape, scrape it up so that
both sides may dry, and let the contents
of several plates, heaped up lightly,
stand in bright sunshine a little while
before putting away. Store in bags and
keep dry.
When wanted for use, put a small
quantity soaking in considerable water
several hours, or over night. Stew in
the same water long and slowly?three
or four hours?keeping boiling water at
hand to add if it grows thick, and so is
in danger of burning. It should be i
quite" thin whetf done, and may be
thickened with bread crumbs, and seasoned
with a little sugar, salt, and butter?of
course tomatoes should not be
made sweet.
A Pica for the Crow.
The crow is quite as fond of bugs and
worms and little field mice and young
snakes as he is of the farmer's corn. He 1
is a good policeman about the farmhouse
and drives away the hawk, who j
can do twice the amount of mischief he I
is guilty of. He hunts the grassfields I
tmrl r?nlln nnf. fho MbrnillsTo ?ll !

manner of pests, and probably saves ;
many other crops, if he is hard on the '
oorn. A gentleman had a tame crow who '
trotted out after him as ne went out to j
wage his annual war on tho squash j
bugs. His sable attendant put his head |
on one side and watched him for a few !
minutes, as if to see how he did it.
Comprehending the business at last, he j
went for those bugs with a will, and I
cleared the patch in fine style. He took
it for a business the remainder of the !
season, insuring a fine crop.
To Determine the Axe ot Egg*.
An egg is generally called freah I
when it has been laid only one or two j
days in summer, and two to six days in I
winter.^ The shell being porous, the;
water in the interior evaporates, and !
leaves a civity of greater or less extent. !
The yolk of the ejrg sinks, too, as may |
be easily seen 1 y holding it toward "a
canile or the sun; and, when shaken,
a slight shock is felt if the egg is not'
fresh. To determine the precise age
of eggs, dissolve about four ounces of1
common salt in a quart of pme water, i
and then immerse the egg. If it is one
day old, it will descend to the bottom of i
the vessel; but if three days, it will i
float in the liquid. If more than tivo j
day3 old, it will come to the snrface and ;
projeot above in proportion to its increased
nge.

Among the Indians.
A Standing Bock letter says: An Indian
arrived from the hostile camps with
a message from seven of the hostile
chiefs. Ho is known to have left this
agency abont three weeks ago for the
hostile camps. While he does not claim
to have been with Sitting Bull, he says
he was with another much larger camp,
where the lodges and Indians covered
all the praiiie. He reports these Indians
as abundantly supplied with fresh meat,
buffalo and antelope being in great
abundance. They are also reported to
have more arms and ammunition than
they know what to do with.
They daily watch the men who are engaged
in building the new post on
Tongue river, and say at one time they
could have destroyed another body of
troops as they did the lamented Custer
and his band, but they thought they
were going home, and for that reason
did not care to disturb them. This is
supposed to have been General Miles
and his regiment when they started back
for the Yellowstone
They are anxious to treat for peace,
and do not care to fight the soldiers if
they are let alono, but if they are not,
will fight for years if necessary. The
writer says several of the bands refused
to be counted, and rations were accordingly
withheld fiom them. One chief
who submitted to ihe count refused to
receive his rations, and scattered them
on the ground. It is claimed that the
count, though not completed, win not
show more than half the number of Indians
which the agent claimed to have
been issuing tc
Though the new supplies have not arrived,
fnll rations of flour, and half rations
of sugar, coffee, tobacco and bacon
were issued. The correspondent claims
the Indians received full as much under
this issue as they had formerly received
for double the number of lodges. Captain
Collins has been detailed to assist
Lieutenant Roach in the count of refractory
lodges.
Advices received from Fort Pierre,
and subsequently confirmed, report that
a party of five men were killed by Indiana
near the Wakpa Sica, on their way
to the Black Hills. The massacre took
place near the head of the Sica, and it is
thought that some of the party must
have got away and penetrated the foot
hills as far as Crook City, from which
place a force of fifty miners came out to
open the road to the Missouri. It is reported
that these were attacked and surrounded,
and held corralled on a hill for
a whole day, when a messenger escaped
and went to the hills for re-enforcements.
Twenty others came out to the

fore being able to co-operate with tlaem
they were attacked and overpowered by
the Indiana, and all massacred. Thists
the last report, which bas not yet been
confirmed, bnt it seems probable, as the
Indians have reoently appeared in large
numbers from the hostile camps in the
neighborhood of the Black Hills, and
even at the Cheyenne river ^genoy.
The troops having been withdrawn
from Fort Pierre, the miners are no
longer detained till sufficiently large
companies are formed for protection,
but prooeed to the hills in small parties,
and thus fall an easy prey to the savages.
General Custer's Remington rifle and a
black horse he used to ride at Lincoln
have been captured by some Black Hillers
from a young warrior killod on the
route to the Black Hills.
He'd Suffered Enough.
Capt. Bob Shaftoe concluded to run
for Congress. He had been in the wars
?he had fought and bled?and his record
as a soldier was of the very best.
Of coarse, having consented to run, he
had to take the stump. Bob could be
eloquent upon occasion, especially -when
picturing battles scenes; and he indulged
rather freely in this style, for be
knew more about war than he did about
politics.' His opponent was a politician,
and not a soldier.
One day Bob addressed an assembled
multitude in frout of a cross-road
grocery. He told tho story of his hardships
in the field eloquently and touchingly.
He told how he had led a forlorn
hope; how he had been stricken down
under the very muzzle of the enemy's
battery; and how he had lain two nights
and one day suffering where he fell before
succor came. And other things he
told ueqally as thrilling.
When he had concluded, one of tho
sovereigns approached him with sympathy
in every look.
" Oap'n Bob, was all that true you
told us ?"
"True as gospel, my friend."
"And vou raillv fit richt unto the
month of*the enemy's cannon?"
"Yes."
" And got knocked over ?"
"Yes."
'And como nigh dyin??two whole
nights in misery ?"
"Yes, my friend, it is all trne as I
have told yon. I was wonnded four
| tim<.s after that?"
" Well," said the interrogator, with
visible emotion. "I'm blamed if you
haint suffered enough for the country.
I don't see why we should send you out
among them Congress fellows. They're
a hard lot. T'other man is younger
'n you, and aint of much account anyway.
I say, let bim suffer awhile ; so I
guess I'll vote for him !"
Poisoned by Eating Toadstools.
Mr. Flint, of Louisville, Ky., gathered
what he thought wa? a flue lot of
mushrooms, and ordered them cooked
for dinner. They were placed on the
table at dinner, hot and steaming, Mr.
Flint, his sister, and his three children,
two boys and one girl, eating of them,
Mr. Flint and his daughter eating more
heartily than the other members of the
family. Not long after dinner all five
were taken with violent vomiting and
other signs of poisoning, and a physician
was summoned, when it was ascertained
that the supposed mushrooms were toadstools.
The proper remedies and restoratives
were used, and in an hour or two
all were out of danger. The father and
daughter, who ate moro freely than the
others, were more seriously affected.
When Men are at their Best.
Dr. Beard states that from an analysis
of the lives of a thousand representative I
men in all the great branches of the I
* i *1? T- _ Ai. _ J: I
oamau iamiiy, ne maue mo iubuuvuij
that the golden decade was between
forty and fifty; the brazen between
twenty and thirty; the iron between fifty
and sixty. The superiority of youth
and middle life over old age in original
work appear" all the greater when we
consider the fact that all the positions of
honor anil prestige?professorships and
public stations?are in the hands of the
old. Reputation, like money and position,
is mainly confined to the old. Men
are not widely known until long after
they have done the work that gave them
their fame. Portraits of great men are
delusions ; statues are lies ! Tbey are
taken when men have become famous,
which, on the average, is at least twentyfive
years after they did the work which
gave them their fame. Original work
requires enthusiasm. If all the original
work done by men under forty-five was
annihilated, thev would bo reduced to
barbarism. Men are at their best at
that time when enthusiasm and experience
ar<e almost evenly balanced. This
period, on the average, is from thirtyeight
to forty. After this the law is
that experience increases, but enthusiasm
decreases.
A Painter's "Whim.
The house in which Turner, the
painter, lived was eo dirty and disorderly
that it was known as "Turner's
den." He was very untidy, and in this
dwelling his peculiarity had full Bway.
The windows were never cleaned, and
had in them breaches patched with
paper; the door was black and blistered;
the iron palisades were rusty for lack
of paint. If a would-be visitor knocked
or rung, it was long before the summons
was replied to by a wizened, meager old
man, who would unfasten the chain sufficiently
to see who knocked or rung,
and the almost invariable answer was :
" You cau't come in." It was here that
be kept for many years the greater part
of his store of pictures, shrewdly calculating
upon the time when they should
be worth thousands of pounds.
The Fearful Little Maid.
She stands within the daiaied.fleld,
A little maiden all alone ;
And bending down she takes a flower,
And plucks its petals one by one.
" He lo**^aie woll; he does not love" ;
Trembling, weeping, now is she.
" lib, does lie love ? or loves he not ?
I cannot try ! I dero not see !"
Her heart is beating loud and fast,
Her blinding tears arc like a pall :
She does not hear the eager step,
She does not see the shadow fall.
The flower iB taken from her hand,
Swiftly the petals he removes.
" He loves?lovoa not?he lovee?loves
not.
See, darling!?'tis the last?he loves 1"
A SPECIAL CONSTABLE.
Two women, sisters, kept the toll-bar
at. ? villace in Yorkshire. It stood
apart from the village, and they often
felt uneasy at night, being lone women.
One day they received a considerable
sum of money, bequeathed them by a
relation, and that set the simple souls all
in a flutter.
They had a friend in the Tillage, the
blacksmith's wife; so they went and told
her their fears. She admitted that
theirs was a lonesome plaoe, and she
would not live there, for one, without a
man. Her discourse sent them home
downright miserable.
The blacksmith's wife told her husband
all about it when he came in for his
dinner.
" The fools 1" said he; " how is anybody
to know they have got brass in the
house ?" *
" Well," said the wife, "they made
no secret about it to me; you need not
go for to tell it to all the town?poor
souls I"
"Not I,"said the man; "but they
will publish it, never fear; leave women
folks alone for making their own trouble
with their tongues."
There the subject dropped, as man and
wife have things to talk about besides
their neighbors.
The old women at the toll-bar, what
with their own fears and their Job's
* 1 X- -1-2 T4.U
comiorcer, ueguu wj wuym wim apprehension
as night came on. However, at
sunset the carrier passed through the
gate, and at the sight of his friendly
faoe they brightened up. They told
him their care, and begged him to sleep
in the house that night. " Why, how
can I?" 6aid hb. "I am due at ;
but I will leave you my dog." The dog
was a powerful mastiff.
The women looked at each other expressively.
" He won't hurt us, will
he ?" sighed one of them, taintly. " Not
he," said the carrier, cheerfully. Then
he called the dog into the house, and
told them to lock the door, and went
away whistl ng.
The women were left contemplating
the dog with that tender interest apprehension
is sure to excite. At first he
seemed staggered at this off-hand proceeding
of his master; it confused him,
tVinn hA snnfTWl ftfc the door: then, as
the -wheels retreated, he began to see
plainly that ho was an abandoned dog;
%e delivered a fearful howl and flew at
the door, scratching and barking furiously.
The old women fled the apartmf at,
and were next seen at an upper window
screaming to the carrier : " Come back I
come back, John ! He is tearing the
house down!"
" Drat the varmint!" said John, and
came back. On the road he thought
what was best to be done. The good
naturod fellow took his greatcoat out of
the cart and laid it down on the floor.
The mastiff instantly laid himself on it.
"Now," said John, sternly, "let us have
no more nonsense; you take charge of
that till I come back, and don't ye let
nobody steal that there, nor yet t' wives'
brass. There now," said he kindly to
the women, "I^hall be back this way
breakfast time, and he won't budge till
then."
" And he won't hurt us, John ?"
" Lord, no ! Bless your heart, he is
as sensible as any Christian; only, Lord
sake, woman! don't ye go to take the
coat from him, or you'll be wanting a
new gown yourself, and maybe a petticoat
and all."
He retired, and the old women kept at
a respectful distance from their proteotor.
Ho never molested them; and, indeed,
when they spoke cajolingly to him
he even wagged his tail in a dubious
way; but still, as they moved about, he
squinted at tliem out of his bloodshot
eye in a way that checked all desire on
their part to try on the carrier's coat.
Thus protected, they went to bed earlier
than usual; they did not undress; they
were too much afraid of everything, especially
their protector. The night wore
on, and presently their pharpened souses
let them know that the dog was getting
restless; he suuffed and then he growled,
and then he got up and pattered
about, mutteriDg to himself. Straightway
with furniture they barricaded tho
door through which their protector
must pass to devour them.
But, by-aud-bvo, listening acutely,
they heard a scraping and a grating outside
thfl window of the room where the
dog was, and he continued growling
low. This was enough; they slipped out
at tho back door, and left their money
to save their lives; they got into the village.
It was pitch dark, and all the
hnnxpfl hlook hnt two; ono was the rmb
lie house, casting a triangular gfeam
across the road a long way off, and the
other was the blacksmith's house. Here
was a piece of fortune for the terrified
women. They burst into their friend's
house. "Oh I Jane, the thieves have
come I" and they told her in a few words
all that had happened.
"Nay, Jane, we heard the scraping
outside the window. Oh, woman, call
your man, and let him go with us."
"My man?he is not here."
" Where is he then ?"
" I suppose he is where other workingwomen's
husband's are, at the public
house," she said, rather bitterly, for she
had her experience.
The old women wanted to go to the
publio house for him ; but the blacksmith's
wife was a courageous woman,
and, besides, she thought it was most
likely a raise alarm. my, nay, saia
she, " last time I went in for him there
I got a fine affront. "I'll come with
you," said she. "I'll take the poker,
and we have got our tongues to raise
the town with, I suppose." So they
marched to the toll-bar. When they
got near it, they saw something that
staggered this heroine. There was actually
a man half in and half out of the
window. This brought the blacksmith's
wife to a standstill, and the timid pair
implored her to go back to the village.
" Nay," said see, " what for ? I see but
one?and?hark I" it is my belief that
the dog is holding of him." However,
she thought it safest to be on the same
side with the dog, lest the man might
turn on her. She made her way into
the kitchen, followed by the other two,
and there a sight met her eyes that
changed all her feelings, both toward
the robber and toward each other. The
great mastiff had pinned a man by the
throat, and was pulling at Lim, to draw
him through the window, with fieroe but
muffled snarls. The man's weight alone
prevented it.
The window was like a picture frame,
and in that frame there glared, with
lolling tongue and starting eyes, the
white face of the village blacksmith,
their courageous friend's villainous husband.
She uttered an appalling scream
or>/I flow iinr?n th? rfner unrl f'hokfid him '
with her two hands. Ho held, and j
(growled, and tore until he was all but;
throttled himself, then he let go and the
man fell. Bat what struck the ground
outside, like a lump of lead, was, in
truth, a lump of clay; the man was quite
dead, and fearfully torn about the throat.
So did a comedy end in an appalling
and most piteous tragedy; not that the
Booundrel himself deserved any pity,
but his poor, brave, honest wife, to
whom he had not dared confide the villainy
he had meditated.
The outlines of this true story were in
several journals. I have put the disjointed
particulars together as well as I
oonld. 1 have tried hard to learn the
name of the village, and what became
of this poor widow, bnt have failed
Htherto. Should these lines meet the
t d of any one who can tell me, I hope
Ld will, and without delay.
The Fatal Prize Fight.
In the following article the Christian
Alliance is the spokesman for the greater
part of the nation: At a prize fight,
near Philadelphia, one of the pugilists
died on the field. When the master of
ceremonies called " time " there was oue
who did not respond for the simple
reason that lie had done with " time "
and was p&siug over the solemn river.
The next scene was that of carrying the
body home to the father. And what a
I body it was! The face that had onco
been a sweet child's face, that had cheered
the father and mother, that had even
in a humble home been the home's
light, lay now without semblance of the
human form divine. It had been pounded
into a formless mass.
Than that prize fight nothing could
be more humiliating it would seem to
the whole length and breadth of the
land. The poor little fellow who died
in the oontest was so humble in property
that when he put up ten dollars that he
would win he put up all the property he

condition of a simple idler, of a man
willingly poor. Had he staked what
common sense or nobleness he possessed,
the showing would have been smaller
still. To hail snch a hero came a
crowd of devils from all the purlieus of
vice. These howled around the rope,
and the harder the blows the more exquisite
their delight. The presence of
these rendered the scene more infernal.
In the distance appeared a few policemen
representing the United States aneChristianity
and the centennial yeard
and having nttered a childish shont, ran,
back to a place of safety. This cast a
blush of shame over the aflair, recalling
as it did the weakness of the great republic
in dealing with criminals.
There has been no event for a long
while in which might be fonnd so many
painfnl and sickening particulars. Such
an exhibition could not occur among
savages, for in those tribes blows pass
only between angry enemies, not between
friends; snch a spectacle never
occurred at tho old Roman amphitheaters,
for there the pugilists fought unflor
fwninnlnirvn.
It would at first thought seem that a
law should bo passed making such sport
punishable in a most severe manner, and
inoluding in the penalty all who even
acted as spectators; but this longing for
a law is only the result of a simplomindodness
that forgets how powerless
our nation is to enforce what criminal
law it has already placed on its statute
books. Any one who marks the utter
weakness of the State as to swindlers,
thieves, and murderers, will find his desire
for a stringent law against fighting
very muob weakened. The daily press
views a legal remedy as hopeless and in
the case under notice has been compelled
to find a little satisfaction in tffe fact

A Byway to Health.
Let it be remembered that the best
ocokery of the best viands in the world
is comparatively thrown away, in its
health giving and nourishing qualities,
if the food be swallowed hastily and in
lumps. From the sesthetical side of the
question, too, a grave mistake is this
haste and imperfect mastication. If to
eat be a necessity, and if the satisfaction
of this necessity be pleasant, as nature
intends it to be; if a sensitive palate
be given us to embrace our pleasure,
and to enable us to enjoy the goods the
gods provide?why, in the name of all
that is rational, should there be anything
grosser in enjoying the fine flavor
of a well cooked dish than in enjoying
the scent of a full blown rose, particularly
when the former in some shape is
a necessity, while the latter is merely a
luxury. Therefore, philosophically, it
is a grave error and an ungrateful deed
to swallow well cooked, palatable food
at such a pace as prevents your getting
the full amount of pleasure oat of the
act of eating aud which renders yon indifferent
to your cook's skill.
There are some who condemn epicurism
as something horrible and as likely
to lead to murder, petit larceny and
other objectionable crimes; but they
cften confound refinement and discrimination
in feeding with gluttony, and, in
their desire to avoid this and set a high
example of indifference to the fle?h,
adopt a scornful disregard of what and
how they eat and drink, and, pretonding
to be above such mundane considerations,
bring themselves to a chronic
state of ill health, which it takes years
of strict regimen to recover from. No;
you must finger over the taste of yoar
food as you linger over the swell of a
flower. Nature demands of you this
concession to health, and there can bo
nothing more sinful in indulging the
sense of taste than the senee of smell.
Having swallowed your dinner iu lumps,
the usual oustom ia to endeavor to counteract
the discomfort produced by washing
it down, and rendering it soluble by
huge draughts of fluid. This is merely
adding insult to the injury you have
done your stomach, and is resented accordingly.
Copious draughts are just
as injurious as large, quickly devoured
mouthfuls, and drink should be taken
as cautiously and slowly as food. Thirst
is really more effectually assuaged by
swallowing slowly a moderate quantity
than by takiug a large one at a gulp,
aud a little thus goes further than much.
The best check upon immoderate
draughts is never to drink out of too
large a tumbler. Taking it in moderation,
the fluid assists in dissolving the
solids, instead of setting them floating,
and sluicing them all before it, as is inevitably
the case when a so-called hearty
draught is taken.
Effect of Tea on the Skin.
If you drop a few drops of strong
tea upon a piece of iron, a knife blade,
for instance, the tannate of iron is
formed, which is black. If you mix with
iron filings or pulverized iron, you can
make a fair article of ink. If you mix
it with fresh human blood it forms with
the iron of the blood the tannate of
iron. Take human skin and let it soak
for a time in strong tea, and it will become
leather. Now, when W6 remember
that the liquids which enter the stomach
are rapidly absorbed by the veins and
absorbents of the stomach, and enter
into the circulation aud are thrown out
in the system by the skin, respiration
and kidneys, it is probable that a drink
so common as tea, and so abundantly
used, will have somo effect. Can it be
possible that tannin, introduced with
eo much liquid producing perspiration,
will have no effect upon the skin ? Look
at the tea drinkers of Russia, the Chinese,
and the old women of America,
who have so long continued the habit of
drinking strong tea. Are they not dark
colored and leather skinned ? When

H?w he Changed his Subject.
A new minister who arrived in one of
the circuits of Illinois, the other Sunday,
announced as the subject of his
first discourse: " Woman, her history
and sphere."
" Eve was a most beautiful woman,"
he proceeded, " aud doubtless as tender
and helpful to her husband as any of the
good wives of to day."
" Yes," called out a grizzly backwoodsman,
getting up" and going out,
" we all know how she helped him 'boat
the fall work!"
The preacher immediately dropped
the subject of " woman and Uer sphere,"
but being an Englishman, was enabled
to proceed with one much more adapted
to the locality, namely: "Agar in the
wilderness."

An Opium Eater Reformed.
Mr. Peter Banta, a ship joiner, fifty- 1
one years of age, living in Brooklyn, N. :
T., received a compound fracture of the
leg July 3d, 1860. The leg is an inch
and a quarter short. The day of the
injury he took one ounce of elixir of
opium to stop the intense pain. He
gradnally increased the dose till he took
three ounces a day. After the leg was
well he oontinuod it for about three
years and a half, when he commenced 1
taking sulphate of morphine, twenty- j
six grains a day, one hundred and eighty
grains a week, or six hundred grains a
month. Has taken twenty grains at a
dose, and frequently tlvV.y u day. ;
Eight years ago he attended to reform, ;
and stopped its use, which made him so
delirious that his physicians and friends
feared he would die if he continued to
do without it. He then renewed the
habit. with occasional seasons of nartial
reformation, which were uniformly followed
by great distress, delirium, and
such dangerous indications that he soon
relapsea into his old habit. When the
special religious services were held at
tho Hippodroma, in New York, last
March, he attended, and went into tho
inquiry-room, where he was urged to
discontinue the habit and become a
Christian. Wan made the subject of
prayer, and great solicitude was manifested
in his behalf by Mr. Moody and
others. On the thirteenth of March he ,
took the last dose, and was taken to a .
placo away from his family, whore he ,
could be properly cared for, and seen
by thoso who had become so deeply interested
in his welfare. From Monday, j
the thirteenth, till Wednesday, ho was
comfortable, the following three days
he was delirious, more or less, anft*felt
faint at times, then chilly, and had other ,
symptoms indicating nervous prostra- '
tion. After that he improved, and went
home in three weeks. He ha* gained
in flesh and strength, and has improved
in every respect. During sixteen years
he has spent $2,800 for opium. He has
now lived without it nearly six months, i
and has no desire to take it again ; and
wishes it to be known that he believes
he has been saved through the agency
of divine grace. The case illlnstrates
the tolerance which the system may acquire
for this drng. One grain of morphine
is equal to eight grains of opium.
Twenty-five drops of elixir of opium is
equal to one grain of opium. Four
grains of opium has produced death.
It is remarkable, and worthy of notice,
as it may induce those who are addioted
to the habit to reform.

They Are Giants.
There is now on exhibition perhaps
the most remarkable conple in the 1
world?a man and woman who are 1
giants in stature. They are Mr. and ]
Mrs. M. V. Bates, whose home is now 1
iu Seville, Medina oonnty, Ohio. They <
are cach^even feet eleven and one ha.i
inches in height, the hnsband weighing 1
478 pounds, while the wife weighs 413
pounds. The common sized visitor,
when placed between them, feels very j
much as Qnlliver must have felt when
ho fell among the giants. j
Mr., or Oapt. Bates, as he is oalled, is 1
a finely proportioned man, of ruddy,
healthy looking complexion, straight
and military looking in his regimentals.
His immense stature is not so noticeable
as that of his wife, who seems almost
awkward somehow on aooonnt of !
her length, she being actually taller ror '
a woman than he is for a man. They
are evidently people who, if not so wonderfully
tall, would be considered commonplace.
They are intelligent, however, and j
the lady especially feels the awkwardness
of her position as the object of the
ouriosity and open mouthed wonder of !
the multitude. In an interesting con- ;
versation with our reporter, she showed
openly her dislike of the life she is leading,
and her longing to return to her
home in Ohio. Their home, by the j
way, was one built and furnished
especially for them. The oeilings are i
twelve and one-half feet high, and no !
doorway is less than eight and one-half j
feet high. 0/ oourse they find the hotel ;
accommodations unsuitable to them
wherever they go. as the doorways are
so low and the beds so short.
One of the strangest facts about their
History is unao iney were me cuuareu ux :
common people. Mrs. Bates' father
was only five feet four inches in height,
while her mother was only a common
sized woman. Her brothers and sisters
are of no remarkable height. Capt.
Bates' father was six feet two inches in 1
height?a tall man, but a dwarf, compared
with his son. Hates is now 1
twenty^ nine years of age. He is a native
of Letcher oounty, Kentucky. His
wife is a Nova Sootian, twenty-seven 1
vears of age. They were married in J
London, England, while traveling in ]
that country on exhibition.

Killed by Cannibals.
The schooner Danoing Wave arrived ;
it Sydney, Australia, from the Solomon ;
group, July 4, with tho news of a massacre
that had been perpetrated by the !
South sea natives, Capt. Harrison and
ill hands, excepting one, on board the
Danoing Wave, having been murdered. ;
On the twenty-third of April last the ;
Danoing Wave called at Florida island to
' ? i ? n ? 1 "VT_
Dorarn native laDor ior Domerset. natives
were engaged and brought on
board, and there were also others who
liad reoeived tomahawks and other artioles
from the captain in barter. Without
warning, the natives rose upon the |
crew, attacking them with tomahawks.
Oapt. Harrison was almost instantly
killed, together with some of his crew,
while the chief officer and steward, after
being wounded, reached the cabin, where
they shot themselves. A seaman named
Broad (or Board) jumped overboard and
got to Sayau, forty miles off, in a boat,
when the vessel was recovered by the
orew of the bark Sydney, and it was then
found that the natives had plundered
her. It is said that the natives took two
heads and one body ashore. Broad, before
escaping, shot several of his assailants,
and several natives from another
island, engaged on board, were also
killed. - ,
Subsequent to the receipt of this intelligence
Commodore Hoskins received
a communication from Consul Layard,
at Noumea, dated June 17, to the effect
that he had just heard from Capt. Lind,
owner of the Laura Lind, that he fell in
with the Bev. Mr. Inglis, in the missionary
vessel Dayspring, who reported that
an English vessel from Queensland had
ran ashore at Tanna, at a place called
Yagoos,' that the crew fired at the ra
tives, who attacked them in torn, burned .
the vessel, then killed and ate the crew.
Capt. Lind had been in Port [Resolution, <
and he says that all the natives who
came in agreed as to the destruction of
the vessel and her crew.
The Eastern War. ,
Both the Turks and the Servians, says 1
the New York Sun, have displayed immense
vigor, during the present war, in
keeping newspaper correspondents away i
from their armies. Both sides have '
tilled the world with contradictory falsehoods,
through their official reports, ,
about the operations and successes of their
troops in the field. These reports sent
out from Constantinople and Belgrade
have become the laughing stock of mankind.
