An always thirsty but very temperate man exhorts as follows " Here is a good autho~(rity-Albert Smith. You miay possibly have heard him stante the samne thing, and it may be meijlonedl in hais 'Story of Mont Blanc.' ' When I arrivedl at the Granid Mulets I t ook( aL smaIl square of chiocolate', and wrappled iL roundl with snow and swal lowed it, and foulnd it most refreshing a11 n vIgorating.' Snowv is not p~ortable, but chocolate is, and has the merit ofi not blowing up when heated, like the ammnomla that anglers carry about with themi to cure the mnidge bites. "Also avoid cider. Delicious but fatal drink to takers of exercise. I can b~ear testimony to the fact that the more you drink of it the more you want to. I am credibly ilifornmed that Devonshire m owers and reapers can drink five or siX gallons a day, and I eani perfcce believe it. "Never touch spirits under any cir cumstances. Dozens of lemons can be0 easily carried about, and with soda or p~lam~ wvater, or even that ghastly comn lpmma g~ingerbeer, a squeeze of a lemon is worth a King's ransom. There are two pre-enminent dlrinks for quenching the thirst, equal in merit, b~ut a matter of taste to the drlinkers--barley water and1( nilk. I prefer the former. But if bvoung Iadies would drink the latter at balls, for instance, in lieu of doubtful chlampagne, the~y would speedily dis cover aL great dlitTerenc~e, morally and( * physieally. And if every look-keeper on the' ThIamnes were to a, keep, a dairy * 111and a ' (OO ' or two on the premises, tirsty oarsmen would make his fortuno * 'n a few years."--London W~orld, CtYmTvATION OF STRAwnERRIES UN DERt QLAss.--Miss H. B. Yfrimble, of West Chester, Penn., who has been very successful in the production of hot house - grapes for a number of years, met with the loss of her vines last summer from the ravages of the phylloxern. With extensive green house and forcing facili ties at hand, She dlecided to engage in hle raising of strawberries and tomatoes (hiring the period necessary to growy new grape vines, and has the past wvinter een remarkably successful in her new venture. The varieties of strawberries selected wore the Sharpless, Charles Downing and Cumnberland, the planta being placed in boxes, flye or six inches in depth, which were arranged on the shelving of the hot houses. The tomato vines were planted on the floor and care fully trained up the sides of the build ing. Newv York furnished the best mar.. ket, the strawberries bringing an aver age of $6 per quart, while the tomatoes realized fifty cents per pund. The .prioes, were well maintaine throughout the winter, the severity of the winter pre venting Southern fruit from getting into the rmarket as early as usual. Single vs. Married Soldiers. It has ,long been a mooted point whether smngle or married men make the best soldiers. Some maintain that the lack of wife and family tends to make a man more rless of his life-therefore a good Others say that the married man is al most a veteran when he enters the ranks, being inured to combat--therefore a( good soldier. E In the recent Tunisian -a~am Colonel was qiestioned upou hi point. "Both are right," said he. " Look yonder-do you see that battalion of happ1, devi -may-care fellows ? They are a ,single men,,and they would take their lives in their hands. But look again--do you see those taciturn somnber gloomy-looking men there ? ' 'hey are all married, and in a hand-to-hand fight they are terrors." '~ What is the name of the battalion ?" asked the inquirer.

Tom Lee is a short, slender man of nodest manner, and of an extremely re aring disposition, He Wears 'a stiff Derby hat, into the crown of which he >okes his queue. This causes the hair )n the back of his head to stand out like ,he quillb of an angry porcupine or the lair on a cat's back rubbed the wrong way. He has a tiny blacK mustache, and I sparse growth of wiry black hair on his chin. He wears a diamond pin in an old-fashioned scarf, and an eight-ounce gold watch-chain dangles from the third button of his waistcoat. He is well-to- do; owns three tea farms in China, and is worth a few thousands, perhaps. He is a very influential mav among Chinamen. He is a Christian, a citizen, a deputy sheriff and is married to a girl who was born down town some where in that neighborhood. 'She has borne him a lovely little daughter, of whom Tom Lee is justly very proud. He talks pigeon English, but he dresses as you and I do, except that he wears his queue. Very many among the 3,000 Chinese in New York retain their pig tails, not because they cannot go back to China without them, or because of any heathen notion about them, but because a good many Chinamen who were cigar ette or cigar-makers in China have come here from Cuba without their queues. They were rid of those appendages in Cuban prisons, where they were sent for wrong-doing, and it is considered best by respectable Chinaman not to cut off the queue, so as to obviate the necessity of explaining where and how it disap peared.

While Paris is far ahead of cities in the United States in regard to some of her municipal arrangements, in othere she is quite deficient. Her streets are cleaned when necessary, as if by magic. Let there be a snowfall, and thousands of men will be out armed with shovels &c., and in a twinkling the thorough. fares are as free from the unwelcome visitant as if it had never come. But the fire service is simply execra ble. Hand pumps are used, and they will not throw the water with sufficient force to reach the upper stories of the immense buildings there. Some steam pumps are employed but they are never ready and it takes so long before they can be upon the scene of action as to be often of really little service. When the Magazin dui Printemnps 4turned it was between two and three hours after the fire broke out before the steam pumps arrived, and then the stream could only be sent into the third story.y It would make the Parisians open their eyes somewhat couldi they see the celer ity with which the firemen in our large cities move. Everything is so perfectly adjusted that al most before the echo of the bell which calls them has died away, the engines, hose carts and ladders are mn rapid motion, and unless the fire had got under strong headway before discov ered it perishes almost in an instant. The people on both sides of the water could learn something from each other in regard to living. Worthless Stuff.

Criticism is as impertinent in the world as it is in a drawing-room, in a kindly and well-bred company if anybody tries to please them they try to be pleased ; if anybody tries to astonish them they have the courtesy to be astonished ; if pople become tiresome they ask someboy else to play or sing, but they do not criticise. A bad critic is probably the most mis chievous person in the world * * * and a good one the most helpless and unhappy; the more he knows the less he is trusted, and it is too likely he may be come morose in his unacknowledged power. A good executant in any art gives pleasure to multitudes and breathes an .atmnosphere of praise, but a strong critic is every man's adversary; men feel 'hat he knows their foibles, and cannot conceive that he knows more. His praise, to be acceptable, must be always ungualified ; and the heart of correction which he has learned so laboriously, only tills his hearers with disgust.-Mr. Rus kin'., " Arrou, of the Chase."
