w THEN AND NOW. We laughed to see the whirling snow And hear the racing tempest blow: We recked not of the icy blast. Nor how the storm came wild and fast? Our hearts had sunny weather; Nor snow, nor hail, nor wild winds moan. Could chill the glow around them thrown, For then we were together. Oh, sweetest word?together! 1 tread, in golden summer hours, A pathway through a land of flowers, beneath the blue of peaceful skies, With weary feet and tear-dimmed eyes: I care 110 longer whether The days Ik> bright or dark, nor how The lonely time goes by. for now \\ e wane no more logoiuvr, Ab, nevermore together. ?Anna C.

A cottage vineclad, flower surrounded, tree shaded, and tended and cherished as few homes are in country or city. The captain had been a hard worker until within the last five years: then at the age of sixty he had "given up the sea,"' bought the cottage, deposited all his earnings in a city bank, said to be as sound as sound could be, and with his dear old wife and his invalid sister had settled down to what promised to be a very comfortable old age. In youugcr years the captain had been rather a spendthrift, inclined to profanity, following the deplorable habit of sailors in general and swearing roundly when things did not work to his satisfaction. Hut his extreme kindheartedness, also a distinguished trait of the average sailor, had won the love of a good, pious woman; and under her influence, the captain had grown provident and saving; hi> also had civen u? the use of profane language. But give vent to his feeliugs in sonic form of expletive he must upon occasion, so it had become a habit with him under strong pressure to blurt out the name or names of the first placcs occurring to him at such times; and the more wide apart aud incongruous the mating of ports or Dlaces, the better it answered his purpose. And now as he went rushing pell me!l through the fragrant country roads, he ejaculated with distressing vehemence: ''Jerusalem and Troy! What shall we do! I'm a beggar man and worse than! a beggar man! Now, if I'd only a list- 1 ened to Miss Forbes1 advice, and not a J gone and chucked all my savin's iu one I place, I shouldn't a been caught in such I a miserable tight place as this!" "Egypt and Cape Cod! Just to think ! of it! and there her brother, a merchant I of fiftv vears' standin'. would ha' civen [ us within one per cent, as much interest as that rascally bank, But there! I long to get home and tell Cynthy all about it. Poor Cynthy, whatever will she do! "Wish to mercy Miss Forbes wasn't out o' town: dread tellin' her awfully. Point Judith and Hurl's Gate, if I don't!"' But the captain had reached the cottage, and swinging wide the gate, he hurried up the gravelly path, and soon entered the cool sitting-ruom, where his placid. Christian sister sut. knitting. Both feet were bound about and placed on a high footrest, as rheumatism in a severe form rendered Miss Cynthy Forbes a confirmed invalid, and often an intense sufferer. At sight of her usually unperturbed brother mopping his warm and distressed looking face, she looked up with anxious solicitude. "Sing Sing and Bambay, Cynthy!" he burst out. "I'm a ruined man if ever t&ere was one! What do you think? The L? bank has bursted and carried - * ? ? Willi It evcij tt'Ut r?v navu ill world!" "Why, brother, that's too hard. Can it be true?"' "True as the world! It's town talk! There's the greatest crowd up at the postofficc; there can't anybody think of! talking of anything else at all. Some | others ruined besides me, all because the president of the bank was brought right j up here and all thought him the very soul o' honor, confound him!" "Now, don't,brother," said Miss C'ynthy, soothingly. "Perhaps it won't be as bad as you think. May be there's Eomething saved." "Well, Turkey and Boston!'' roared j the captain, "if there is, we never 6hall I sec the first cent of it." Then he continued in a different | tone, atone full of distress and regret: "Ob, Cynthy, why don't they think of us poor iellows who've toiled night and day to scrape together a little something against old age.' Why don't they think of the poor widows? There's poor Widow Ellis most distracted, and old kmc Captain Simpson, he's round a roarin' like a furious nor'easter. "Why don't they think of us all, I say, before they go to spcculatin' and sinkin' the little funds we have to set such store by and become so dependent on. I say it's inhuman, it's out o' all reason, it's worse'n swearin*, ten times. Billingsgate j and Carthage, if it ain't I'' "Well, now, I'd calm down if I were you," said Miss Cynthy, again using her most consoling tones. "It's too bad Maria's gone to the city, but her week's most up, and I know she'll say something comforting when she comes." "She'd do just right to storm like a j hurricane," said the poor captain; "course she won't say the fust word to vex me, Miss Forbes never does, but if I'd a listened to her, we might a'been comfortable enough." "Strange such trouble should come the first time in a dozen years or more she's been away for a week. But there, we must do the best we can. You mustn't worry on my account, brother, you know the Lord will provide, somehow." "I'll have to sell the cottage," continued the captain, despondingly. But j don't you go to worryin', Cynthy; Miss ! Forbes and I, we'll look out that vou ?et I cared for, we won't either on us forget j how you struggled nnd brought me up, wicked little imp as I was, too. How in I the world did you ever have such pa- [ tience, Cynthy?" "It was perhaps th hundredth time he had asked the same question and only to receive the sacne comforting reply: 'Ob, I knew there was good in you somewhere, brother, and it would only take time and patience and plenty of prayer to bring it out. and sure enough." Two more days must elapse before Mrs. Forbes would return from the city, and it was both pitiable and laughable to note the conflicting emotions with which her worthy but troubled spouse anticipated her appearance. "Of course she'll know all about the failure and our losses," he said to his sister, repeatedly. "So, thank %*' ?' fortune, we shan't have to tell her about it, but I should think she'd hurry home on that very account now,shouldn't ' Well, I suppose she thinks she might as well have her visit out," Cynthy would reply. "You know her brother's wanted this visit U>r a long time.'' "Hope they ain't a urging Miss Forbes to stay away from me in the future," said the captain the afternoon of the day his wife was expected home. Iiy this time the poor man's anxiety and forebodings were truly painful to wit ness. "Now, Jonathan, that's downright naughty of you," said Miss Cynthy, "as if Maria would desert in trouble of all times." At last the stage coach stopped at the cottage door, but somehow, the captain could not go out, as expected to greet his wife, lonecd for as she had been. lie stood peeping through the blinds as the stage driver helped her alight, then rolled her little trunk into the I gravelly path. All at oncc he turned io his sister, his face fairly working with emotion. "Oh, Cinthy, she doesn't know a i thing about it. I know she doesn't. She's a smilin' and a noddin' to the j driver, an' her face is as peaceful as the . coral isles, and poor Miss Forbes don't know, I know she don't." But he could hold ofTno longer.liis wife was at the door, and the next moment had entered the room, given him a loving embrace, and receiving his sounding smack, then went over and kissed "Sister Cinthy" affectionately. The little maid of all work soon an- j nounced supper, and although the cap- ! tain sat with the most lugubrious face j imaginable, yet thioughout the meal, j Mrs. Forbes was aa bright and joyous as .1 young girl, her round, dumplinglike face and figure shaking with laughter at the queer stories she had to tell, and the amusing reminiscences of her journey. After tea, when they were sitting cosily together, the husband, wife, and j sister. Captain Forbes felt that at lxsthis time had come, so summoning all his ! tourage, he said with a gigantic effort at calmness. vi. . "My dear, there's awful news." "Now,the little black kitty ain't dead or any of the chickens, I hope," said Mrs. Forbes. "Mercy, no!" Then as gently as possible, the captaiu broke the disastrous tidings, how the bank had broke, and they had lost all. "Law, yes. I knew it had broke," said Mrs. Forbes, complacently. "Hut thank a kind, merciful. Heavenly Father, it ain't hurt us any."' 'Why, what do you mean?'' -rasped the captain, fearing her senses had deserted her at the news; "all we had was there, wife." "No, 't wasn't, "she answered placidly. "I'd (lrawcd it all out three days afore the smash came, llrother William has it all safely invested in hi* business." "Why, but Maria, you could't draw it. I deposited that money, no one could draw it without my order." "Mrs. Forbes broke into a rippling laugh. "Well, now, do you think. Johnny Forbes. I've lived with you all these years without licin" able to write exactly like you? I never did approve of all your money bem' in thut bank, and William didn't, so I just writ out an order an' endorsed it. 1 had your book along, had an idco once in the city I might, want it, so I just got the money as slick as could he, an' its all safe an sound. I didn't tell William that." Hut Captain Forbes was regarding his wife with distended eyes. Finally he roared in true sailor fashion. "Honolulu and alt the (Julf States!"' Why, Miss Forbes, that's forgery." ''What's forgery's" asked his sleek, contented wife. "Why, coppin' my hand writ in'. Didn't you know that f*' "Sakcs, no; I wouldn't a done wrong for all tiie money in the world! But how long since you and I have been two, Jack Forbes, I should like to know.'" When at last she became convinced of her innocent wrong doings, Mrs. Forbes at once wrote to her old acquaintance, the president of the bank, confessing the whole transaction and asking what she should do. Hut t he conscicuce-st rickcn man replied, that grave as the mistake might have been under other circumstances, he was I vet oniv too clad that they were saved the engulfing ruin of the bank's collapse. Mrs. Forbes always speaks regretfully of h iving done a wrong deed, although i unwittingly and for the best. Hut with I generous hands, both she and the captain help to their utmost ability those who did suffer from the bursting of the bank, while the captaiu often declares with characteristic vehemence, that "women are amazin' cute and curious ' when they take business matters into their hands. Ileavcnsand earth! if they ain't."?Mrs. Harriet .1. C/teecer. Platinum and its Uses. There is only one establishment in the I city where platinum articles are manu- ! facturcd.

Its proprietor, who is nn old resident of the city, was asked ; the other day by a reporter for some j particulars regarding the trade in plat- | inum. "There isn't much to tell you,'' he said. "Yes, this is the only place of j this kind in the city, and I have been established here a good many years. Platinum, generally speaking, is one- j third the value of pure gold. It is worth, i in round figure, $S u Troy ounce. Most ; of it come from the l:ral districts of ; Russia. We get it from Russia in what is known as 'flat stock," or sheets, and in thick wire rods." "Isn't it found in America!" asked the reporter. "Not to any extent. We do get some from Oregon and South America, but not much, and the trouble now is that the price is going up while there arc no supplies forthcoming. It is manulactured chiefly for laboratory use in colleges and elsewhere. The sheets and wires arc made into small vessels and j fine wires for experimental purposes, the ; value of the metal consisting in its re sistance to heat. It takes double the j heat to melt it that is required to work cast iron. The articles made from it include boilers, alctnbrics, crucibles, si- | phons, tubes, wire gauze, blow-pipes, j spoons, spatulas, refining siphons, and j jewelers' coloring baskets. I supply colleges with these articles in all parts of the country." The speaker here showed the reporter a piece of the sheet platinum. It measures twelve inches long, by six inches wide and was about half an i::ch thick. It had the appearance of dull silver, and was very heavy. "You might not think it." he added, "but I would not take $l,GO0 for thut piece of metal. Its great weight is something remarkable, as you see. it is the heaviest of the commercial metals." "What is increasing the demand for platinum?" was a<ked. "The electric lights. In those of the incandescent description the platinum is j used in the globe of the burner, being! the two tine wires that are fused in the ! globe to connect with the leading cop- j per wires.

How Clay Won a Picture. Seuator Heck, of Kentucky, went to schpol as a boy at college near Ashland, the lesidence of Henry Clay, and he described the other night a visit which a number of the college boys once made ] upon the old statesman. Said lie, "As: Mr. Clay rose to meet us his face shone with smiles, and every bi>y iti ihe party was straightway his friend. In the course of the talk he asked us what we thought of his pictures. There was a number, some paintings and some engravings, hanging upon the walls in dilTerent parts [ (?f the room. Wo finally decided upon ' I one, the picture of a woman holding a bowl of steaming mush in her hand as the finest one in the collection. As we did so, Mr. Clay laughed and said: Yes, boys, I think you have picked out my best picture, and as you have done so I I must tell its history. I got that picture ! at Gheut, and in a curious way. Albert i Gallatin, John Quincv Adams aud mvself I were there making the treaty, and Mr. ! Gallatin and myself took chances in a I picture raiHe. My prize turned out to be { that picture,' pointing to an inferior enI graving on the other side of the room, | 'and Gallatin got this. Now Gallatin knew very little about art. and I did not know very much, but 1 could see at a ! glance that his picture was far better ! than mine, and that I should be laughed J at if we took the pictures home and com| parisons were made. I saw that 1 must j get hold of Gallatin's pictures, and I ! .-aid to him: 'Mr. Gallatin, these two pictures were made to match each other, and the man who has one ought to have both. Now I will tell you what I will do. i will put my picture against yours and we wiil play a game of cards for them. The man who wins shall take both pictures, and you may name the : game.' j 44 'Mr. Gallatin thought a moment, j consented, and said "seven up," and," : continued Senator IJcck, "I can hear Henry Clay's hearty laugh now and see ; his smile of intense merriment as he concluded. As soon as Gallatin said 'seven up"' I knew I had him. lie knew but little about cards, and 1 was one of the best seven-up players in Kentucky. The result was as I had anticipated, and I got the picture.'"? ChirAnml Lcmhr. Woods That Will Not Make Ships. There arc sixteen species of trees in America whose perfectly dry wood will sink in water. The heaviest of these is the black ironwood, of Southern Florida, which is more than thirty per cent, heavier than water. Of the others, the \ best known are the lignum vita- and mangrove. Another is a small oak found in the mountains of Texas. Southern New Mexico and Arizona, and westward to the Colorado desert, at an elevation of 5.000 to 10,000 feet.

A QUEER RELIGIOUS SECT. MILLIONAIRES WHO HAVE NEVER HANDLED A CENT OF HONE?. Tlic I'miisjlvnnln, "Kconoinlic*"?A Vocirly of About Thirty .Mcuilirrs willi Weal III ol' SIOO.OOIMMM). One of tlie most remarkable and ccccntrie of all the religious sects to which the fruitful social soii of this country has given birth is that of the Kconomites, who are located in this St:ite,saysa Pittsburg (IVnn. l letter. The Kconoiuite society is possessed of great wealth; some assert it reaches $100,000,0(10. At the present day there are not I more than thirty Kconomites. They are all aged, and in all probability ten years will find them gathered to their fathers. In the last two years there have been twelve deaths. The houses at Kconomy arc of the plainest, built gable end to the street. Modem wall paper is now on nearly every house, but all else is ancient. !?ug enrpet is mostly used, and everything is spotlessly clean. .Miss IJapp, the daughter of the founder, is still living in Kconomy. She is a beautiful, silvery-haired, blue-eyed lady of seventy-eight years, but looks no more that sixtv. In her vuungcr days 1 : t.v 4liia I SI1C "A;is very ;ii;uuiii|'iimihi, aim i?? day slic furnishes all the church music. She was a beautiful singer and her voice is yet musical and sweet. In her house she lias a little mahogany workstaml aud sideboard that belonged to J. <!. Blaine's father. She also has two pianos that are over fifty years old. They have four pedals instead of two, like the modern makes. One pedal will give the tone of an organ. They are tine toned and in good repair. The old fashioned garden is well stocked with modern and ancient llowcrs. A high stone wall, covered here and there with ivy, fences it in. In the i center, rising out of a lovely lake, is a j high summer house, decorated with marl ble vases holding beautiful plants. In j this the band plays once every week. To ' the left is a large round mouud, built of | rough stones, over which climb a variety of vines. A back door leads into aground room, beautifully frescoed. Set arouud in this are four immense stones, on each of which is inscribed: : KK< hire RAIT, : ; Founder of the Harmony Society. : ; norn :< ><, unn i -???. ; Harmony, Fn., 1-SV5: Harmony, I ml., 1815.: : Economy, : When Mr. Rapp settled here he bought j sonic property from Mr. Blaine, father of I James (J. The old Blaine homestead is stilfstanding, and was used not long ' sincc for a schosl room. In the center of one orchard of twenty five acres is a large mound, where, after the French and Indians had a battle, the braves I were buried together with many valuI ables. Air. Rapp never allowed this to ! be disturbed, and now .Mr. Ileurici sees that Mr. llapp's wishes are "obeyed to the letter. The mound is held sacred, and I still holds its secret. Many beautiful flowers at present are planted on it. Near by, in the orchard, is the Econoinitc graveyard. Side by side the dead sleep in peace. No gaudy stones, 110 flowers, simply covered with the bright grass. There are many men and maidens hired to do the work. These, of course, live together, but the unmarried are not allowed to flirt with each other. If two are seen talking or walking together, or if they marry they arc immediately sent away. If a man smokes in the town limits he is discharged. "Whisky and beer arc strictly forbidden. It any citizen wishes to go out of town, or, in fact, wishes to do anything, he must tirst ask permission of Mr. Henrici or Miss Kapp. Groceries, drv goods, milk, bread and meat arc furnished at stated intervals in any quantity desired?milk twice a day, meat once, bread three* times, ctc. The members of the society?with the exception of the managers?never handle any money as they have no need for it. Many would not know a piece of money if they should see it, never having handled a penny in their lives, and yet each is worth at least ?1,000,000. The washing for every family in the town is taken to the laundry, wheie hired help handles it. At five a. m., they breakfast, at six the bell rings for them to go to work, at ten o'clock thev have lunch, consisting of bread, butter, cheese, meat and cider; twelve to one is dinner hour, three o'clock lunch again, and G::50 supper. At nine p. m. the bell rin^s and every nr.o muafc <rr> to food. Nine watchmen i nightly guard the town and enforce the rules of the society, which visitors must observe. The church is built of brick, and supports a lirgc I .ell and two town clocks. Straightlmcked, uncushioned benches hold the congregation. At e tch side, j directly opposite, arc raised rostrums, ! one for the pulpit, the other for the choir. .Air. Henrici preaches about an hour every Sunday morning and evening. Nearly thirty young people compose the choir, over which the venerable .Miss Uapp presides at the organ. The clothing worn is made perfectly plain. The dresses consist of a gathered skirt, plain waist, full sleeves and a square kerchief across the breast. The best of silks and woolens used to be manufactured at Kconomy, but the factories stand silent and deserted now. The J members are too old to work, and the ! hired help does not take interest enough in the work to insure success. Everything is raised in abundance, and the large wine cellars of tiic thrifty community contain over 50,000 gallons of the best article. Some of the choicest wines are iully fifty years old. Last year 500 barrels of eider were made. It is drank instead of water. No oneever becomes a drunkard here, and a quarrel has never occurred or a cross word spoken. Mr. Ilcnrici has built a schoolhouse, and pays a teacher to instruct the children of the people who work for the society. Thus they live day after day j peacefully, quietly, religiously, prepar- , ing themselves to meet the (tod whom they faithfully believe in. They do not tlaunt their great wealth in the faces of the deserving and struggling poor; neither do they count their gold like misers. What Mill become of it all when the last survivor passes away no one outside of a small circlc knows. They are a living monument to the old adage that "Economy is wealth." They arc not miserly or uncharitable. No tramp ever passes Economy hungry. The poor of the vicinty only speak to bless the plain folk, who by thrift and industry, have nceumulatcd wealth and earned happi| ness. Dying in the Harness. Few passages in the history of literature have a more touching and pathetic interest than those relating to the last scenes in the lives of men of letters, who ; have retained the grasp upon the pen : until death has given them release, i Such a scene is that depicted by the historian Green in his account of the death of H;eda, or the Venerable Hede, the father of English history. The good monk was engaged at the time in finishing his version of St. John's Gospel. It : was two weeks before the Easter of 7."> j that the shadows began to creep over j him.

"There is still a chapter want- | ! ing," said tlie scrilji-, as the morning | drew on, "and it is hard for thee to i j question thyself longer." "It is easily ' ! done," said Bada; "take thy pen and i ' write quickly."

"It is , finished now," said the little scribe, at I ! last. "You speak truth,'' said the master, "all is finished now."

Tt has long been well understood that ! gold is the mo<t universally distributed ; of metals, being found in all parts of the I world, but most readers will probably j be surprised at a statement recently made i by Professor A. K. Foote, of Philadel- | pliia, to the cfTcclthat there is more gold | in the clay under the city of Philadelphia than would eipial the entire valuation of the city. In 1812 men maJe sixty cents a day washing the sands near Chester, on the Delaware river, where AVi.liatn I'eun first landed, and quite recently several dollars' worth of gold in grains were taken from a well 150 feet deep within twenty miles of Philadelphia.? /Scientific American, FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Insect PcbIk* A great variety of insects?flies, moths and beetles chiefly?in their larva; condition subsist npon the wood, bark or pith of trees and shrubs. The remedies for the tree borers are to dress the lower part of tlie stem with some repellant preparation, as a mixture of cow dung, clay and superphosphate of lime, made into a paste and plastered on the bark near the ground, beginning in .Mine and continuing until late in summer. Hither the parent insects avoid the trees so protected, or the young larva: cannot or will not penetrate the coating and so perish. Another remedy is to dig out. the oralis that have made an entrance with knife and small chisel, or to follow them up with a flexible wire in their burrows and kill them. The smaller shrubs arc saved by pruning olT the branches into which the borers have penetrated, while soft stemmed plants may be split and the grubs taken out and destroyed. I'ears, plums and (piinccs arc much troubled by a small, dark, soft-bodied slug, which devours the soft substance of the leaves and reduces them to a skeleton. This checks the growth of the tree by destroying its breathing organs. Peter Henderson in his book, " How the Farm Pays," recommends that in such cases the leaves be dusted with fine, dry, airslaked lime, which at once destroys, by its strong alkaline and acrid property, these moist, soft creatures. The greatest pest of the apple tree is the codling moth or apple worm. This is a grayish moth, which lays its eggs upon the blossom end of the fruit when it is set. and later, up to the time when it is half grown. The larva; cat 3 its way into the heart of the apple, around and into the core, when the fruit falls, and the insect leaves it and goes into the ground for the winter. It is the sccond brood which attacks the half-ripened fruit and remains in it during the winter. There arc several remedies. The fruit grower is advised to gather the fallen fruit and burn it, or feed it to the pigs; or to turn the pigs and sheep into the orchard to consume the fallen fruit before the grubs leave it. Another remedy is to spray the trees when the blossoms have fallen, and again, as the fruit increases in size, with a mixture of one teaspoonful of Paris green in three gallons of water, adding a little molasses to keep the minerul in suspension and make it adhere. In regard to the curculio, that pest of the plum tree, the Mas?iehuactts Plouyhman says: "If one has an orchard so situated that a yard can be built around it to enclose hens, this is undoubtedly the cheapest if not the most eilcctual way to destroy the curculio. Experience proves that to be more cer- | tain of destroying this insect the trees should stand a little distance from the fence, for if the trees are near it, the curculio fly over from the outside directly on to the trees, and are thus out of reach of the hens, unless the trees are jarred to drop them to the ground." A correspondent of the Country Gentlcrtvin recommends white hellebore as an effectual remedy for the gooseberry and currant worm when thinly dusted over the leaves. A better way, however, is to mix it with water at the rate of a tablespoonful to two or three gnllons of water and apply with a fine rose or a spraying syringe. "There are some insects which come in fewer numbers, which have to be treated in a less wholesale way. The peach grub, it is said, may be kept out of the tree, or killed when already in, by digging a small depression around the foot of the stem and pouring in a pint of soft soap; but the old way of taking them out with the point of a knife is easier, unless they happen to be very numerous. The grub or cut-worm, which so often cats off the stems of young cabbages, has been repelled with a mixture of one part of slaked lime, four of wood ashes, and a tenth of salt, spread around the plants; but wrapping the stem, at planting, in a small piece of burdock leaf, which decays by the time the plants are beyond danger, is perhaps easier, and is at the same time perfectly secure.'' f arm and harden \otos. An Arab proverb says: "The two greatest enemies of the horse are rest and fat." The average cross-roads stallion contains these two elements in perfection. Hence "weedy and washy'' colts. Milk rich in fat (butter) is not necessarily the most nutritious food. It is milk rich in the nitrogenous compounds that gives it fcedingjvalue, a point of importance, whether it be infants or young ! animals fed. The partly used plow points thrown j aside as no good in breaking up for wheat last fall, when the ground was j dry and hard, will do good service for | spring plowing, especially when not much depth is required. Most kinds of fruit trees thrive best 011 rolling land. Hardy grapes do well on nlnwicf nnv ?nil willi !i littln ram. Sandv ridges arc best adapted to their growth, but sand and leaf mold mixed with underdrained clay will produce large vines and fine yields of fruit. Drainage is not less valuable to the stockraiser than to the grain farmer. It lengthens the season both in the spring and fail, keeps the soil from poaching and allows the cultivation of the finer and more nutritious grasses?three most important considerations. Farmers who grow only a few tomatoes in rich gardens do not generally know that this vegetable is more successfully grown in fields with moderate fertility. There is less exuberance of vine but earlier and higher-flavored fruit, with less tendency to rot. It used to be thought that only sand was suitable for garden purposes. For very early forcing some mixture of land s advantageous. But heavy soils, even clay, arc good when well drained, and by some practical gardeners arc preferred for the bulk of their later plantings. In selecting strawberry plants for a new bed those only should be taken which started last fall. The old plants which have bom a crop are practically worthless. In the matted row system the centre containing old plants is destroyed and new rows formed on either side. Soil with any clay in it should not be plowed when thoroughly saturated with water, which may be known by water standing in the furrow after the plow has passed. Some degree of moisture is desirable, not only forcasein plowing, but because stirring the soil when moist aids in the development of plant food. A carriage should be washed imtncdi? /?!*? If !o r/if nrni./l oriilod If wet mild be permitted to continue and dry upon the surface, a white opaque spot will afterward indicate the place to which the dirt adhered. Again, a vehicle which is invariably left its coat of tilth until the subsequent morning, always requires repainting and revarnishing many months before those carriages which receive proper care. The Indians had no almanacs, nor any means of knowing the day of the month. But their rule for planting corn was a very simple and good one, and that was when tin; leaves of the hickory or butternut were of the size of a squirrel's ears. At this time the ground has beer me warm enough to germinate the seed and push it. forward. Com is a semi-tropical plant, and more impatient of eoKl than the smaller gtains. The common hop vine, grown as a climber, has long been used in places where it i< desirable to cover considera ble space. It may be safely recommended for piazzas, fences, outbuildings, or to hide old, or partially decayed stumps of trees, and we have even seen it climbing a bare pole cf groat height, with the extreme ends dangling in the form of a lash, which by the "way-side inn" is quite suggestive to the wayfarer and his horse. Remembering that corn loves hot weather, we shall better appreciate the necessity for planting near the surface, where the soil is warm. In marking out only a slight depression should be made. If the planting is done with a hoe, a little earth raked into the check rows to uiu?\> inu buuu uu is iicuur ilulu !i deeper hole to bury the seed in. Where the drill is used the tubes should be set to place the seed as near the surface as it can be well covered.

"Wrights and Mkasuiks.?Housekeepers can save themselves a great deal of unnecessary worry and trouble by purchasing a small pair of scales, graduated to weigh ounces and fractions thereof. Thcv will be found very useful in weighing the various ingredients used in cake and bread-making, which arc now too often thrown together in such a haphazard, careless manner that it is a wonder they ever producc even an approximately satisfactory result, Good material is too often blamed for producing bad results which might have been avoided if each ingredient had been weighed according to the formula or recipe supposably followed. The servant might be prevented from accepting under-weights from the butcher or the grocer if she knew her mistress was apt to weigh the goods when they were received. The butcher would soon stop weighing his hand with the meat if he | knew that his customers owned .1 pair [ of scales and had no hesitancy in using | them. A nest of measures, holding from a gill to a quait, are very useful articles in a kitchen, and they should be used on all occasions in preparing food.

SCIENTIFIC AM) INDUSTRIAL. Lieutenant Charles Herihon lately read j a paper on steel guns before the Civil i and Mechanical Engineers' society, Lan- j dun, in which he strongly advocated the j abandonment of all other materials in j favor of steel, and argued that it was not only the cheapest but the best material for guns, stating that steel, in fact, would always have been employed were it not for the extreme difficulty of obtaining lanre masses of reliable quality. l'urc beeswax is obtained from the ordinary kind by exposure to the influence of tlu* situ and the weather. The wax is sliced into thin flakes and laid 011 sacking or coarse cloth stretched 011 1 frjimr s rnstimr on nosts to raise them i from t he ground. The wax is turned J over frequently, and occasionally sprink- j led with soft water if there be not dew , or rain sullieicnt to moisten it. The wax should be bleached in about four weeks. Black birch wood is prized in Europe for fine cabinet work. It seems, however, that there is a strong prejudice against black birch among architects in this country, although it is cheap, beau- ! tiful and pretty durable. Carpenters find a dillicultv in introducing it in finishing interiors of houses. f?oon, however, like many another of our long-despised though valuable native woods, it will win its way to a very high place in popular estimation. A line quality of salt is now being made in California from the salt water. The water is turned into ponds and allowed to evaporate until it has reached the point where sulphate of calcium is deposited. After this deposit is made the brine is drawn oil into other ponds where it stands until the salt is deposited when it is a?ain drawn oil. If it is allowed to stand longer the bitter salts of magnesium and sodium will be deposited and spoil the salt. The long, dry season of California is especially adapted to making salt by evaporation. The Yaqui Indians. The Yaquis hold the title to their lands from the king of Spain,and do not recognize the republic of Mexico. Xo tuxes or iinnosts arc levied on them, or if levied they have not been collected. They are a hardy, agricultural rate, living on small patches of fertile soil on the border of the Yaqui river. They steal stcck when an opportunity ofTers, but have rarely in the last few years committed any murders. C'ajenie, their chief, is a man of fair education for Mexico and a stem ruler. He has absolute control over them. The two nations combined number over 1000, of which at least 5,000 are adult males. Their principal arms are bows, arrows, spears and a three-cornered bludgeon made of iron wood. Some of the arrows are poisonous. They also carry a powdered stone in small sacks, used by them to throw in the eyes of their adversaries, which is said to swell them up and produce blindness. Cajemc has a royal guard, the major portion of whom are mounted as cavalry and arc picked men of Ihe nation. There are said to be some four or five hundred of them. The extent of country occupied by them reaches along the river some ninety miles by an average width of twenty miles. Here are located their towns or pueblos, each having its governor, judges, etc., who report to the chief. They produce corn, beans, melons, pumpkins, etc.,and raise quite a large number of chickens, goats, pigs, etc., all of which lind a market in (iuavmas. In fact, the supply of wood, cane-mats, oysters, and many other articles of sale, in demand here at all tline of the year, come from the Yarpii river.

In Mauritius, formerly known as the Isle of France, and now a British colony, the worship of Siva is said to have recently been celebrated thus: .\n immense pile of wood burned for twentyfour hours before the pagoda of the evil L'od, until a bed of glowing coals was formed, measuring thirteen feet by twenty, and some ten inches thick. Across this carpet, of lire marched young Brahmins barefoot, bearing on their heads the baskets of (lowers which tkey had volunteered to offer to Siva. Some moved quickly, and others slowly; but all kept ipiiet. There was no! a single fall, which would have resulted in instant death. Only when they had passed over and plunged their feet into water did they break out into piteous moans. Those who did not die soon after were maimed for life. These tortures were calmly contemplated by vast multitudes of wrapt devotees. - . > _ ? wvr STRANGE BRIDAL OMENS. SUFEBSTXTZONS ABOUT THE DATES OF BXABBXAOES.

' Oh, bless you, no; the wedding will not take place until early in .Tunc," said a society mother in a chat with the fashion editor, who had touched on the subject of her daughter's nuptials. "Hut it was supposed to be all fixed for an earlier date," said the visitor. "So it was, a long time in advance," said the mother; "but we discovered that the wedding would come in Lent, so we put it olT." "Why?" "Because it was in Lent. We couldn't have a marriage in Lent, you know." "Why not? There's no law against marrying at any time, is there?'' "No; but it would be bad luck." "Who says so?" "Everybody. Why, it's as old as the hills?that superstition. The young women of over a century ago used to say, '.Marry in Lent, be sure to repent.'" "And the young girls of this century nn snvinrr thn snmn thirmr.it seems." "vvr J "-r> o' "Ves," said the mother of the prospective bride, "it's a superstition that one docs not like to acknowledge, and yet no one wants to run the risk of inviting bad luck by violating the rule." The editress being started on the track of woman's superstitions in regard to marriages, made inquiries and gathered a surprising numl)cr of them. No girl, for instance, is willing to make Friday her wedding day. Away back in the tragic times the most of these maiden superstitions were traced. The Uomans were very superstitious about marrying in May and February. The 14th has always been considered in England peculiarly unlucky for brides. AVhy, tradition saycth not. In the Orkney Isfcs the bride selects an evening for her wedding when there is a full moon and a (lowing tide. In Scotland the last day of the year is considered lucky; the bride's prospects in life arc supposed to be brilliant. Sunday is a great favorite with brides in some parts of England and Ireland. The French demoiselle, however, thinks the first Friday in the month particularly fortunate for her nuptials. In Sweden the bride on her way back from church lias picces of bread in her pockets. These she throws away on her road to her home to insure her good luck. It is ill-fortune to the one who picks up these crumbs. If the bride lose her slipper on her way from church, she will lose all her troubles, aud the one who picks it up will gain richcs. In every country it is an unhappy omen for the wedding to be put oil when once the duy has been fixed, and in England it is believed great misfortune will ensue if a bridegroom stand, if only for a moment, at the junction of cross roads on his wedding morn. In England, also, it is thought a sign of bad luck if ? * ? * ? 1 1 1 1 1 tnc oriuc iaiis 10 sncu tears on nur w cuding clay, or if she turn back to take a last look at herself in her wedding toilet. Among the English lasses it is bad luck for a bride to look back or go back when once she has started for the church, or to marry dressed in green, or to let the ceremony go on while there is an open grave in the churchyard. "When the bridesmaids undress the bride they must be sure to throw away all the pins, to make sure of good luck to themselves as well as for her. If a single pin be left in the bride's raimeut, woe unto her. And if a bridesmaid should keep one of them she will not be married before Whitsuntide, or the Easter following. Therefore bridesmaids in England arc I not given to preserving the pins from the biidat costumes. If the bridal party 1 venture oil the land they must go up I stream, and the bride, to make certain of good luck, must, 011 the happy day, wear 'Something old and something new, something gold and something blue." | If she sees a strange cat on that day she will take it as an omcu that she is to be very happy; and if on the morning of her [ wedding day she steps from her bed on something "higher than the lloor, and then on something higher still, she will rise in the world from the time of her marriage. To make sure of this, the maiden has a chair and a table at her bedside, and steps from one to the other on rising from her slumber on her wedding mora. On leaving her home and on starting from the church to return, she is very careful to step out with her right foot first, and is careful not to address her husband after they are wed without first calling him by his full name. The break of the wedding ring is a sign that the wearer will soon be a widow. And there were fifty others of the same sort which rre shared by our young women, who carefully follow many of these mummeries in the weddings of today. Though they be nineteen century maids, the graduates of colleges of high standing, they arc not proof against the superstitions of brides from time immemorial. ?Brooklyn luvjh\ Lightning Rails for Human Beings. Mr. I'. B. Delany, of this city, inventor of the wonderful synchronous telegraph system, has recently patented a lightning rod for the human body. It consists of a large copper wire that passes down the back, with branches extending along the arms to the hands, and along the legs to the extct-ior of the shoes and to metal soles thereon. The wearer if provided with this rod may, it standing on the ground, handle elcctrie light wires with impunity; and if out In a thunder-storm, would stand a good chance of not being hurt if his rod were struck by lightning. Mr. Delancy ought to carry a branch of his rod up the back of the neck, and have it connect with a point on thchclmct of the policemen, and so give them protection. It has heretofore been proposed to have lightning lod umbrellas, that is to sav. an umbrella provided with a flexible wire that extends from the tip or ferrule over the outside of the umbrella, the wire reaching to and allowed to trail on the ground.?Scientific American.
