"Walk out to my house, and have breakfast with me some morning." Such was the invitation given to me one day by Mr. Robertson, a genial, middle-aced solicitor to whom I was articled, in the thriving tovra of Abboyton. Now, I had only been articled for a few weeks ; and what I had seen of Mr. Robertson in business, made me wish to know him and his in their | private life; hence I was much delighted to have this opportunity of gratify- i ing my wish. A few dajs afterward, ' waking up and finding a glorious slimmer sun streaming into my room, I . speedily decided that this was just the ! kind of morning on which I should accept the invitation to breakfast at Ab bey Grove; and in a few minutes I was on ay way thither. Abbey Grove was situated about two miles from the towD, and consisted of a small cluster of villas, built in a prettily situated spot, which, generations ago, had formed pait of the grounds of an old abbey. The only remains of this ancient building, however, were a few : yards of crumbling wall, with here and there vestiges of what at one time had been traceried windows; these, with numerous mounds of stones and masonry, were all that was now left to tell of what had been there centuries ago. Most of these mounds were now covered with grass and shrubs and trees, and thus formed a delightfully secluded retreat, which the inhabitants of Abbey j Grove villas enjoyed in common. The invigorating charms of au early < walk on a summer's morning need no description, xne pure air, tne gemai i Btm, the twittering birds, the sparkling dew, and soft low breeze, all tend to ex- 1 hilarate one's spirits and to make the ! j day pleasanter and happier throughout. All these experiences were mine on the : ? day I write of. As I approached Abbey Grove and saw the houses peeping from out the surrounding trees, I commenced ' wondering as to what kind of a residence would be occupied by Mr. Robertson, ; 1 how it would be furnished, what kind j of people hie wife and family would be like, and the kindred things that you i speculate upon when going to visit a house for the first time. Last, but by ' no means least, as my walk continued, j 1 I wondered what kind of a breakfast " there would be to appease the appetite ' 1 stimulated by the breeze. j ' rgjipJrwaiked down the short avenue lead-1 j?^bg-4o the houses, and then began to 1 which of tho half-dozen villas TT&3 bound for. This small community dispensed with numbers to their *' houses, nor did they even distinguish them by the ambitious and ridiculous J ^ name3 which you see stuck up on most ( puburban residences. No; nothing savor- l. intr so of the town for this ctoup of 1 country residents; they all called their ' several houses by the common name of 1 Abbey Grove; and * the stranger had to ( take his chance of having to go to each 5 of the houses in turn, before he found j i the particular one he sought. Fortune * ^ favored me, however, by sending across Hmy path a traveling cHfectory in the H shape of the local milkman; and in reMsponse to my inquiry as to which house ^ was Mr. Robertson's, I received the Jgtrajgiitfor^vard reply: "This 'ere one ." as I've jist come from, sir." Walking up the path I found the door invitingly . open, and the housemaid putting the finishing touches on the bell-handle. "Master is not down yet, sir," she replied to my inquiry as to whether he was at home, which, considering the time J of day, really appeared an absurd ques- ; tion to ask the girl; but we get accus- . tomed to use stereotyped phrases under : ome circumstances. " Oh, then, I will come in and wait, . j I replied. "What name shall I say, sir?" asked 1 -y-the girl. "Just tell him Mr. Brooks has called, i j * and he will understand." 1 So saying the girl showed me into a snug little breakfast-room, where the i ! sunbeams and the fresh morning air J seemed to be vying with each other as : ? to which should have possession of the j1 room, with such friendly rivalry were 1 they streaming through two wide c French windows, which opened upon a * tastefully arranged lawn and flower-beds jJ outside. "While noticing these things f the housemaid had gone upstairs to an- j : nounce me, when something like the following dialogue ensued: , ^ " Please, ma'am, Mr. Brooks is down- 1 *? stairs." I, " Mr. Brooks ! Who is he ?" was the * " response, in a muffled female voice. * "I don't know, ma'am," the maid re- 1 plied. " I've never seen him here before. But he's a yonng gentleman, and ? says he'll wait till master comes down." i * " Whoever can he be, and what can ; r 4 he want, bothering here, at thi3 time of 1 * day?" continued the muffled voice; and 0 thereupon the door was shut. ? f f-^Now, this was not exactly pleasant to '. me; but when I reflected that most j " probably Mrs. Robertson would be un-' acquainted with her husband's invitation ' to me, I thought it best not to be j offended; so I commenced examining the pictures on the walls. They were . * not very interesting, and I soon con- ( * eluded my inspection, and looked round for something else to occupy the mo- s ments, which began to hang rather 1 heavily. The newspaper of the pre- c vious day was upon a small table by the ? window, so I took that up, just to pass away the time, and I was soon listlessly v perusing the advertisements. I had not I I been sitting thus above a minute or ^ two, when I heard a slight rustling, as ? of a lady's dress simultaneously came . r three or four light footsteps through u the window into the room; and before I could look up from my paper, or rise from my seat, a musical voice accosted me with " Good-morning, uncle; here is f your buttonhole bouquet." j e I started up in no little surprise at d this greeting, which was evidently not u intended for me; and there stood before a mo a fairy-like maiden of some sixteen a summers, her brown Ijair falling loosely c from a daintily-sliaped head ; her cheeks I aglow with the healthy morning air she t had been enjoying, and deepened, too, t by a rosy blush, when she discovered i her greeting had been unwittingly ad- t dressed to a stranger. She was" stand- \ ing before me, holding ont the little t knot of flowers destined for her uncle's i i button-hole?how I envied her uncle!? { a very picture of health and life and t happiness and beauty. Her expression i of unstrained enjoyment had changed i in a moment to one of embarrassment i and dismay, mingled with a gleam of 1 amusement in her blight eyes as the . i humor of the awkward situation we 1 were in broke upon her. An instan- , i taneous mutual agreement seemed to s flash between us. We both broke iuto t a merry little laugh ; and I have often 1 wandered what would have happened if 1 we had not adopted this course, if, for e instance, the young lady had passed on f with a dignified coldness, and simple j i apologies and bows had passed between a us! Our sudden introduction was, j c however, not destined to have this sud- I den ending- In a few moments we l were chatting away like old friends. I , r fancied my fairy seemed to be actually I ] pleased when i announced that I was { going to stay to breakfast ; and I had t almost summoned up courage to ask her s to present me in reality with the flowers 1 she had undesignedly ffered to me, j 1 when the entrance of"th<- servant with t the completing dishes fox the breakfast- r table served as an excuse for her to j leave the room. She had scarcely gone through the j door, when I heard again the greeting, j a V Good-morning, uncle," followed this : l time by an unmistakable sound, which j t made me long more than ever to be that' t v. -i'-vt w/' - wi ' ? . ^ w? girl's tincle! The door opened once more. I stepped forward to meet my employer, but suddenly paused, as a tall gentleman entered the room whom ; I had never seen before in ray life. He stood looking inquiringly at me | after a sharp " Good-morning." I was j too embarrassed to make any response, i My first thought was: "He is some ; visitor#but in a few moments the I awful truth damned across my mind, that this was in reality tho owner of the house I was in, and that by some means or other I had got into the wrong one. The situation was tremendous. I am naturally a cool character ; but I was so ta^en by surprise and chagrin, that I coxild only mutter some confused apology about having boon invited to breakfast by Mr. llobertson ; that I had been directed to this- house by some ; miserable misunderstanding: that I humbly apologized for my intrusion, j and hoped he would pardon it. So ! speaking I made a frantic dash at my ! hat, maddened at my stupidity, at the ! loss of my breakfast, and still more at j the thought of never seeing or speaking i again to that charming little lady, who, I in loss than live minutes, I had found I ! was absurdly in love with ! I said a hurried "good-morning," and was trying to make a ghastly attempt at a smile as I left the room? when, would you believe it5 that tall, dark man burst out into a loud laugb. I felt ready to knock him down. I knew how my stupidity would be gayly discussed at that breakfast-table, before her, and I felt my discomfiture and humiliation deeply; but this open merriment at my expense maddened me. A strange calm succeeded this storm. It was caused by some words uttered by mv tormentor. "You really must for give me; I could not refrain from laughing. My name is Kobinson. Your frionil Mr. llobertson lives in one of the other houses. We frequently get parcels and letters, and even callers corning to the wrong house; but in all my experience we have never had so amusing a mistake so early in the day as this one." Now this explanation toned down my ! anger considerably; but the words: which followed were like balm to my | troubled heart. "Mr. l\obnvtsou will I have finished breakfast by now. I can-1 not think of allowing you to go. l)o j mo the favor of remaining here and breakfasting with us this morning." So j saving he took my hut out of my hand and led me into the room again. Of j cours? it did not need much persuasion i to make me stop. Two minutes before ! I had been ready to knock this man j over; I row thought him the most kind and considerate fellow in the world. 1 Of course the breakfast was delight- I fnl. I found Mr. Robinson and his j wife sensible, genial, kind-hearted peo- I pie. I found their niece even more j sensible, more genial and more kind- i hearted than they were; and when, j nfter breakfast, I accompanied her and j Mr. Robinson into their pretty flower j garden, I received from her a rosebud I for my buttonhole, which I kept for | some years afterward. When saying good-bye I was perplexed by thinking j liow I should manage to see her again; j it must be contrived somehow I mentally resolved. Upon returning to town I losf no time in explaining " the nit- j nation" to my worthy employer, Mr. Robertson, who rallied me good-natur- J sdly upl?n the mistake, and upon what the consequences might be! Next week 1 was invited to a picnic at Mr. Robinson's, and went not only to it, but likewise to Mr. Robinson's house again and j igain before his niece returned to her liomo. jA)ur years have passed since that inflation to breakfast was given me; and that "faiiylike girl" is now my wife, riie loeal milkman, bless him, got a " " ' ' M 11* .1 lanusome "up upon curweuuuiguuy, j A Rank Feast in India. Squatting in the center of various liles of delicacies sits the vender. And :urious arc these sweets. Milky cream tnd coarse brown sugar are their chief-ngredients. No attempt is nude at lecoration. In fact, the native would lot appreciate anything which savored if delicacy. His cookery is always strong. Horrid garlic, greasy ghi or clarified butter?condiments at which he European would sicken?are the choicest of their culinary efforts. The piantity cf sweets a strong man consumes borders on the marvelous. The AP r\noAAAimf A TTirwlnn jy his religion, is forbidden to eat meat, md tlie most nourishing food they can obtain is saccharine matter. A sweetneat called " jelabi" is in high esteem. This is made in imitation of a hollow :oil of rope and tilled with treacle. A nouthfui to a tender stomach is provocative of cholera or biliousness for at east a mouth. But the English schooljoy has been known to compete with be Hindo in such gastronomic feats; or one boy has been known at a sitting 0 eat twelve solid pounds. The doctors prophesied of him immediate death, but le smiled sickly and thought a glass of nilk would set him all right. In all great native feasts confectionary takes an important place.

Dach man is bent upon his meal, and hose who wish to highly honor their ;uest tie around their stomach before ittiug down a tender thread. When his breaks the gentleman thinks te has satisfied his appetite.

Origin of the Word "Dun." The word "dun" is not entirely unamiliar to the ordinary North American , ar. It is not a word of sweet sound or ! leliglitful associations. It generally j ueans that a man is undone. The coarse I ,nd persistent demand fcr filthy lucre ,t a time when we have hunted through ^ ery pocket we possess in the vain j lope of finding even the smallest coin j hat was ever deposited in a contribu- 1 ion-box is not exactly like a refrain of nusic. It may, however, be sadly ineresting to kuow the origin of the i vord. There is a momentary glow of 1 satisfaction in the sight of the maker's lame on the saw with which the surgeon amputates your leg. We do not I ii^ne that it is a satisfaction that lasts j very long, or that it is very profund in : ; ts character, but still there is the | nerest shadow of a shadow of interest : lot to put the matter in an exaggerated ivay, in the knowledge that the afore- i nentioned saw is of good Sheffield ! nake, and not one of those cheap initrunients in which a high civilization j lometimes deals.

Don't be afraid to show the man of your choice that you love him?provided, of course, lie loves you. Love is a double-sidecb sort of concern, and both have a part to play. Don't try to bring too many suitors to your feet. They have feet as well as you have, and you may see one pair of feet walking oil' from you some day you would be very glad to call back. Keep your temper, if your expect your otlier-lialf-iu-law to keep his. If he doesn't suit you give him ticket-of-leave. If he does suit you don't expect him to put up with your humors.

This is partly time; but if you are not careful those little spats you indulge in may end in the kisses you covet being given to some other girl! If it is possible, try to suit your sisters, cousins, aunts, grandfathers, neighbors, friends and acquaintances when you happen to fall in love. If you cau't suit tlicm all, don't worry, for the thing has never been done yet. If you use powder, don't give yourself away. For instance, it would be well to spread a handkerchief over the shoulder of his broadcloth before you lean thereon. lie will bo too green, depend 011 it, to suspect the reason. If his mustache happens to look a little powdery, there are several ways in which it could be brushed oil'. Don't imagine that a husband can live as a lover does?on kisses and moonlight. He will come home to his meals hungry as a bear, and any little knowledge of cookery you can pick up during courtship is about the best provision you can make for future happiness. Remember that nature has put every man under the necessity of having a mother, and that the latter is not in any way to blame if she is regarded as the bitter part of a sugar-coated matrimonial pill. If you feel in duty bound to be her sworn enemy postpone this duty till you know something about her. Don't seek advice in love affairs from an old maid who has been crossed in love, a bachelor who has been jilted, a woman who married her husband's poeketbook, or a man who happens to be henpecked. Don't confide in your girl friends; to keep a secret in a love affair would kill them. Don't consult your minister; he'll have tho marriage fee in view. If you go to your family physician ho will say your liver is affected in place of your heart. If you must get instructions from somebody why not ask your mother how she used to manage things with you father? True love didn't run any smoother in old times than it docs to-day, and, since she knows how it is herself, we can't think just now of any better way to advise you. FiinIiIou Notcn.

It was not until I had been wichin its direct influence that I learned that Tequendama was a potentiality in the United States of Colombia. Our own Niagara tills its unmatched picture in this broad world no more despotically then Tequendama does its own in South America. It may be as well to admit here that, while observing the latter fall, I was far from being at my ease. The fact is, men never manage, whatever they may combine to say, to stand wholly at ease in the presence of a great cataract. In the midst of an unrest so mighty anil so ceaseless no spectator can himself be entirely at rest. The sublimity of Tequendama is in its depth, as that of Niagara is in its width and immensity of volume. A fall from a groat height is Teduendama? not a clear fall, however, because the Salto itself is divided into two welldefined leaps. One, the minor leap, is 11 small fall striking on a ledge, which i its volume conceals, twenty-seven feet j fight inches below the bed of the Bogota, the river which feeds 1 he cataract. 1 I'Kn /\ll> a* a rtfVflof 1 An? ofoi'fti l t"i i JLUV; j iuu iv/d^/j oiui I.J IU foam from the lodge with what seems no longer rushing water?save for the J jets ot spray that now ami then spit j out only to fall back after a while, like ! well-trained skirmishers, into the main boil}*. Outside of suc'i erratic move-! mcnts, Tequendama ends by broadening into a strong, glistening mass, the1 lower descent of which is lost in the mist that never leaves it, winter or summer. After rebounding from the ledge, it dashes itself forward and downward to commit that solitary form of suicide, which, in all the annals of men, finds no detractor. The width of Tequendama depends, of course, upon the breadth of the Bogota as it fronts the cliff. The measure of the Bogota is the full measure of the fall, and that measure seems very limited in comparison with the far vaster proportions of the gulf itself. Any muscular man on so much solid surface might easily cross it at a dozen jumps within half that distance of the cataract. Its depth mighty. If not the greatest, it suffiv.es to make Tequendama one of the deepest among the falis of the earth?ltucRon Foss in Norway, 800 feet, and Lulea, in Sweden, <51)0 feet, alcne probably surpassing it. The published accounts, as a rule, place it at (500 feet, although the real descent, varying between Humboldt's estimate, by dropping, of 585 feet, and Baron Gros's by measure, of 471) feet, is doubtless nearer 500 feet. Even at this last figure, Tequendama is more than three times as deep as Niagara, which is said to touch bottom at 1(50 feet. The bed of the chasm is 102 feet lower than the foot of the fall itself.?AW York Moil. The total human population of the earth is estimated to be 1,121,500,000.

Before sowing grass seed the farmer should make certain of having a good fleed-bed. More mistakes are made concerning the preparation of land for grass than for any other crop. It is no uncommon thing to see a farmer simply running over a plot., where potatoes were grown the previous year, with a cultivator, then following with a harrow. "We have seen extreme cases where e>-en the harrow was emitted, the seed sown immediately after the cultivator then simply bushing in the seed, leaving it to make its way as best it can. Others will use a one-horse plow to turn under the corn butts, getting in the seed with as little labor as possible. In our exI perionce the best practice is to plow a I good deep furrow, followed by a ! flinrnnrrli Imrrnxviner. and after sowine I "-""O" ? ?<_>/ W to bush the seed in and use the roller faithfully. "When timothy and redtop are sown it is best to use a bushel of redtop, a peck or eleven pounds 01 timothy, also adding six pounds of red clover, which amounts to a very liberal seeding and should yield a fair crop of hay about the first of September.? American Cultivator. Feeding liny from the Slnck. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes: A careful observer is frequently surprised at the wanton wastefulness of many fanners. Such wastes occur more noticeably in the i manner of feeding, perhaps, than in any I other branch of farm work. For this reason 1 would HKe to reier to wuat appears to me a shiftless practice?that of feeding hay from the stack upon the Meadow. Farmers are generally careful to save the entire crop of hay. Even I after hay is pitched from the windrow or hav-cock, the horse rake is put in motion, and the rakings are cared for. Thus there is a neatly finished job, and the hay is all saved. But there is not ! the same general care in feeding. If it j pays to be so very careful to save the | hay when wc arc making it, here is no reason why we should not be very careful to avoid wastefulness in feeding it. ; It always seemed to me that the feedI ing of hay upon the ground involves a I great waste. If one feeds out of doors j it would be well to provide boxes or ! racks. There are those iu this section S who have comfortable barns, and yet ! they persist in feeding upon the i meaciows. xnere is loss waste 01 iooa ' and manure when cattle are fed in well! arranged stables; there is less exposure , and better health. The tramping of j ground in the warm, open weather | which frequently occurs in our winter j seasons, robs the soil of much vitality. These points are severally opposed to the practice of feeding upon the meadows in winter. Kron<l Wheel* (or Farm VTnffonH. The surface over which loads are I drawn upon the farm is soft as a rule, ; and a wheel with a broad tiro will not sink so far as a narrow one. A load of manure or hay can be drawn across plowed or other mellow giound upon a wagon which has tires four inches wide when it would be impossible to do so with the old narrow wheels, often less ' ? ? i - mi. _ n i than two lncues wme. ?nu usuuuy | heavy, muddy, country roads of early j spring arc much more passable with the wide wheels than the narrow ones; and even upon smooth, hard roads the difference in the draft is so slight as to be ! no argument against the use of wide | tires. Most of the teaming upon the farm j is upon soft ground, and the light draft I of broad tired wagons should make them | preferable, because they are a .saving of j animal strength. On" of the iirst things i that strikes an intelligent European in j coming to this country is the very frail , look of our vehicles, especially, the i narrow wheels. While these may be j desirable in road wagons, those for farm I use may well be with broad tires. C011i tractors for road work always use broad j tired carts, as they lind them most | profitable.?American Agriculturist. A Rnt-Proof Corn-Crll). I A correspondent of the Practical | Former gives the following directions | for making that most nfcccssarv of farm ; buildings, a rat-proof corn-crib: Build a good substantial house, twelve feet ! wide, eight feet high and as long as you j want it. This will give you two cribp, j one on either side. Put your building ! on stone pillars, one foot above ground. Side up with lath 2 1-2x1 inches of hardwood (I used oak), putting them on up ; and down, being careful to have them : just half an inch apart. The gables, j and any part of building that does not | come in contact with the corn, can be sided up with common pine boards; for ! bottoms of cribs, laths lengthwise, oneI half inch apart; balance of floor between cribs lay tight, of pine boards. My building has a string of ties between the sill and plate to nail to, and cross ties to hold the building together. Every eight feet on these ties spike a good strong studding or narrow plank across them lengthwise of the building j as far from plate as you want the width of top of crib: then set up studding no *v?nv?TT na xtri 11 lin enfti I II Ulli UUU1) ttO muuj tVO mil . ciently strong for crib; mortice the end | of rioor, gain the top into the horizontal i I studding about three-quarters of ! an inch, then lath the inside of j the crib with any kind of lath, j j just close enough to keep in the j I corn, commencing ten inches from the j j iloor to leave room for the corn to come down into the trough, putting these lath 011 lengthwise. Then put a common j sized door in the end, between the cribs, i You can put a lock on the door, and all j is secure (I did not lock mine and gained | something by it, as I found a stray mit- , i ten in the crib 011 a cold morning).

Under the contract ending on June 30 next tho number of cards issued will 1)0 about 990,000,000. . Under tho new contract, which will expiro on Juno 30, 1885, tho estimated number will be 2,000,000,000.

Tiie result of an investigation into American pork, madi by order of Secretary Blaine, is a report setting forth tho following facts: Tho swine of America are of the best and purest breeds, ar.d are fed and fattened for market on corn. It is not believed that swine aro thus fed in any other country. The reports published in Europe concerning tho deaths of American hogs from hog cholera arc gross exaggerations. The fears excited and fostered in parts of Europe by interested persons that any portion of hogs which havo died or may? die of cholera or from any other cause is or 1 or. to 1,1,. Innl nrr> founded upon gross ignorance; for merchantable lard cannot bo produced from such dead animals. Tito percentage of American hogs infected with trichina) (though this question is thus far largely one of supposition) is in all probability, by reason of the superiority of tho breed and feed, nnich less than that among the hogs in any other country.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES. Pasteur states that at a farm near Senlis cattle which had died of carbuncular fever twelve years ago were buried at a certain spot within a walled garden. Some specimens of the soil were after that lapse of time lixiviated and concentrated, and some guinea pigs inoculated with the matter thus obtained died soon afterward, developing all of the well-marked symptoms of carbuncle. Seven sheep were allowed to pass a few hours a day at the place where the diseased animals were interred, and the result of this experiment was that two of the sheep died of fever in about six weeks. The vitality of the germs of this disease is remarkable. On August 25, 1880, during a thunderstorm in broad daylight, M. Trecul saw, as he states in a paper read before the jjrencu Acauemy 01 ocienco on iuarcn 28, a very brilliant elongated body, about tbirty-eiglr, to forty centimeters lmg by twenty-tive centimeters broad, with conical ends, pass from one part of a dark cloud to another and before disappearing and dividing above the houses a small part of its substance fell, as if influenced by gravity, and developed a path of a luminous nature marked on the sides with round protuberances of a reddish color. The anthor adds that in other thunder-storms he 1 has repeatedly noticed a feeble light, band-like in shape, lighting up the width of the street in whole or in part. The Mekarski air engine is about to bo introduced for street railroads in England. It can be used in combination with a car or separately. This locomotive weighs about 7.5 tons, and consists of cylindrical steel reservoirs that are charged with air at a pressure of 450 pounds to the square inch before starting, a special regulating apparatus, and ordinary cylinders and driving gear. The air passes through a reservoir of lint irrttor unil Qfotim t.r? rlifl rAKTIllatfir. and thence to the cylinders. The heat thus imparted to the air increases its volume "and prevents the freezing of moisture in the exhaust passages. When this engine is working there is no noise, and there is the further and obvious advantage of an absence of smoke. This type of motor has been in successful operation in Nantes for about two years. It was discovered a few years ago that trees decreased somewhat in girth during the winter season. It was supposed before that, their liquors freezing, as other liquors do, they should rather expand than shrink. Nature, however, is not ordered after the wisdom of men. Water expands in proportion as it rises above the freezing point, and it also expands when it goes below. So long before it was proved by the carefullyconducted observations of Dr. Hayes, in the Arctic regions, the laundress knew that the colder the weather the more the linen dried, that low temperature as well as high temperature favored evaporation. Trees evaporate from their branches in winter, and thus the colder the weather the more they shrink. Some new facts in this class have recently been added by two German scientists, Kravs and Kaiser. Trees rmh rmlv v.irv t.heir diameters from win ter to summer, but also from day to (lay. They aro larger from noon to twilight next morning, smaller from twilight till noon. Although not so stated, this is also, no doubt, due to evaporation, which is probably greater in the morning growth than at any other time. The demand for moisture shrinks the vessels and les5y^jj|e gixtlu ^ [Frccport (111.)

Ferschweiller, Butteville, Oregon, writes: I have often read of the many cures effected by St. Jacobs Oil, and was persuaded to try the remedy myself. I was a sufferer from rheumatism and experienced great pains, my leg being so swollen that I could not move it. I procured St. Jacobs Oil, used it freely and was cured. A Queer Way of Building Houses. There are in the world many queer ways of making houses, and one of the queerest is found in the city of Palembang, in Sumatra. The town extends for three or four miles on both sides of a rather wide river, and both shores are lined with houses. First comes a row built upon piles which are driven into the bottom of the river, and outside of that another row resting on great bamboo rafts, which are held by cables of rattan to the piles of the next houses. Of course these rafts rise and fall with the tide, and the doo^s open upon the water, so that they are reached by boats. The thresholds are not more than a foot above water, and one steps directly from a boat into a house. One can buy anything there is for sale in this town without getting out of his boat. The people are Malays, and it is said that they never build a house on dry land if they can find water to set it in, arid never go anywhere on foot if they can reach the place in a boat.
