MORAL AND RELIGIOUS The Estimate ot Character. It is one of the sorry truths in etbios that the estimate of a man's character depends almost entirely upon the character of the people with whom he comes n contaot. Nature, ever the same-, bears utterly different messages to the oheerful and to the melanoholy man, to the scientist and to the ignorant, to the artist and to the ordinary looker-on. The l_? 3 _ 1 1 ft i *- it uuisiae woria renecss 10 eacn one me world within. Social life, too, is a response to character. The selfish man is convinced of the selfishness of his neighbors, while the generous man sees only their kindness. The cold heart thinks that humanity is barren of affection, while the loving spirit finds it overflowing all around him. Deceit is ever distrustful, while sincerity extends the cordial grasp of confidence. The passionate meet with violence and the rude with rudeness, while the gentle and corteous rejoice in the gentleness and courtesy extended to them. Each quality has a magnetic attraction by which it draws out its like in others, the bad eliciting what is bad, the good and pure drawing out and developing goodness and purity. ' Religions News and Notes. 685 000,000 of the 1,400,000,000 of the people of the globe are under Christian governments. The Mormons announce that they will receive 15,000 converts from Europe daring the present summer and fall. The net increase of the Methodists of Great Britain for the year was 12,674. The total membership in Grea .britam is returned at dyd.bdU as against 380,956 last year. A recent religious census in Prussia shows that the country contains 17,615,462 Protestants, 9,205,135 Catholios, 363,79) Jews, 42,618 Dissenters and 22,005 professing no religion. The 50,000,000 of our population have a Protestant minister- for every 728 persons, and a Sabbath-sohool teacher for every fifty-six. One in every five is a member of an evangelical ohnrch. The United brethren have a theological seminary in Dayton, Ohio?Union Biblical seminary. It has about thirty students, and is the only school of its class in connection with the denomination. In the colored population of the South the Oatholio Church sees a large 1 field for mission work, and the Catholic Review urges all parishes and priests to enter upon the work, the field being 1 ripe for the harvest. At the Connecticut State Sundaj I LUPiwIiw BCD001 convention, iur. joaepu xuuuuuson, statistical secretary, reported thai there were in Connecticut 1,018 8undaschools; officers and teachers, 17,700: whole number of children and adutU in Sunday school, 133,320; average pei cent, not attending any Sunday school. 42.5. The expense of carrying od Sunday schools was $83,295. Tht amount given by 385 schools for benev olent purposes was over $45,000. . Aooording to the recent census of the Dominion, the following is the strength , of the several denominations in Nova ( Scotia: Presbyterians, 112,447; Boman { Catholics, 117,487; Episcopalians, 60, 255; Methodists, 50,798; Baptists, 73,- ( 194; Free Baptists, 20,61$.

A Swiss process of removing the bran of wheat without loss of nutritive mat ter consists in soafeing the grain before grinding in a solution of caustio soda and water. This swells and loosens the hull proper, so that it may be removed by the slightest friction, leaving the orluten with the body of the grain. Five adventurous young men have gone from San Francisco on an expedition into the unexplored eastern part of Alaska. They expect to find mineral wealth, and are prepared to spend five years in the search. They will go up the Yukon river 1,500 miles in a chartered vessel, and then, in asteam launch of their own, try to penetrate 1,200 miles further into the mountainous region.

New "York, including Brooklyn, Jersey City and suburbs, has some 4.000 subscribers; Cicago and suburbs, 3,600; Cincinnati, 3,500; Philadelphia, 1,800; Albany, 1,200; Buffalo, 1,100; Baltimore, 1,000; Louisville, 1,000; Milwaukee, 700; Lowell, 734; Springfield and Holyoke, 850. Portland, Me., has more subscribers as to population than any other city in the world, having a telephone to every fifty-one persons; Springfield comes next, with one to each 6ixty-two person. The principa cities of Europe have exohanges, and ts progress has been retarded by the government telegraph monopoly. London has but 1,500. From the gaps left by the two masses of rock whioh last year fell from the Risikopf upon the Swiss village of Elm it is estimated that they formed only a hundredth part of the whole mass of the impending earth slip. A Geneva correspondent writes that the final catastrophe cannot be long delayed, but that neither the preoise time nor the direction of the inevitable fall can be foretold. Much depends upon the weather during the next few months. Meanwhile, although the people of Elm watch the mountain with extreme solioitude and are always ready for temporary flight, they show no disposition to leave their homes permanently. A new course has been made for the Sernf, into which so much rubbish fell last year, and roads have been opened over the debris to the meadows and mountain pastures that lie beyond it. Snowplows have been brought into requisition to push the rubbish aside?where it is not too deep?and lay bare the cultivated ground underneath; and new barns and shippens are being built to replace those that were destroyed. Soie idea of the rapid growth of he coffee trade of the world may be obtained from the fact that the total production, which was 675,000,000 pounds in 1859, has now risen to 1,300,000,000 pounds, or nearly doubled. In Europe alone the consumption of soffee is said to have inoreased 240,000,000 pounds in the single ^ear of levy, as lor tne proauomg countries, .t seems that Brazil now holds the first jlace with a total of 560,000,00^ pounds igoinst 330,000,000 in 1870. The eman- "J cipation of the slaves is, however, , expected to lead to a falling off in the , rop, unless the Chinamen and coolies imported from Asia shonld prove unexpectedly well suited for the work of cultivation. Next on the list come the 1 Dutch Indian possessions, which export ! ibout 150,000,000 pounds, the British East Indies, now exporting over 140, 1 100,000, and Venezuela, producing 1 ibout 100,000,000. On the other hand * ;he Antilles Islands have long been ' declining in the scale. Jamaica does ' aot supply half as much coffee as in < L805. Martinique has fallen still more ' entirely out of the raoe, and the Be < mion coffee, which was once highly ' jsteemed, and is still deolared to be of 1 sxoellent quality, finds no longer any ' market in Europe owing to the unfash- ' ionable bitterness of its taste. < I In an article on the comparative ] growth of nations, the New York Tri- ( imne remarks: Abont 800,000 inhabi- j :ants have been added to the population ( jf this country daring the past year by ( amigration, and 1,470,000 since the last ] census was taken. During the last de* \ jade the inorease was 2,812,190 by emi- j jration, leaving 8,785,222 for the in- , jrease by excess of births over deaths , More than half as many emigrants as , crere received during the whole of that , lecade have arrived within the two fis- ( jal years which ended last Friday, and , the population of the United States must now be about 53,800,000. Beoent enumerations of population in Great Britain, France and Italy enable us to ' contrast the growth of this with 1 other nations. In ten years Great Britain has gained in population 3,400, ; 000; in two years the United States has gained about 3,700,000. In ten years France gained 1,200,000, having lost to Germany a population of about 1,600,000, or about 2,600,000 from other causes, so that tue joint increase of both Germany and France, with 77,000,000 of people ten years ago, has been less than one-hall greater in ten years than that of the United States has been in the two y>jars just ended. Austria gained from 1869 to 1880 only one 1,981,000 inhabitants, and Italy from 1871 to 1881 only 1,651,000, so that their joint increase in ten years was less than that of the United States has been in two years. Europe has been disturbed by wars, it is true. But this country was also retarded in growth q a great oivil war during the previous decade.

If the eye is dull and sunken the capillary circulation will be defective, and the functions of nutrition imperieotly performed, and there will not only be a deficiency in the ability to fatten, but a lack of strength and constitutional vigor. A restless and wild expression of the eye indicates a predominance of nervous aotion and an unquiet disposition that is not compatible with good feeding quality, Worina and Bun*. The Farm and Garden says in relation to the attacks of worms and bugs: To save all sorts of vines from the attaoks j of bugs and worms requires constant I watchfulness and a timely use of remedies. There is no use in trying to drive the yellow-striped cucumber bug off after it has injured half the plants in your patch. Prevent it coming on by changing the natural soent of the vines. Sprinkle your vines frequently, and just as soon as they appear above ground, with water in whioh a little kerosene oil has been mixed, or with a weak solution of carbolic aoid, or with plaster scented with kerosene, or with a real rank-smelling manure water. Either of the above, if Applied daily, will generally keep the bugs off. The large, blaok squash bug must be hunted up every day from among your vines and killed. These bugs like to seek shelter under some ohips, little pieoes of boards, shingles, etc., whioh you may place among your vines, so you will know where to look for the pest. A Seasonable Hint. "The practice," says an exchange, "of allowing grass to run to seed on the ? v ? lr # land 18 very miscmevous. iiisay iarmers do it under the impression that it improves the pasture, bat it has exactly the opposite effect. Grasses, If allowed to grow unchecked by mowing, beoome exhausted and soon die out. Indeed, many varieties are not strictly perennial and perish if allowed to ripen seed, Mowing or grazing are indispensable for obtaining and pieserving a good pastnre. Those who cut grass for hay shculd select that stage for mowing when the earlier varieties are in full flower. There is in all grasses, ar d especially in clovers, a constant secretion of saccharine matter in their stems during their early growth, and the best hay is made by those who select the best time to mow, which is indicated when the grasses are in flower and before they begin to turn color." If you want a close, well fliled lawn be especially careful to keep it cut. Lawn and pastura gflumea propagate-themselves through their roots and not from seeds dropped. Food for Ilellcr Calves. In growing heifer calves for the dairy the important thing to accomplish is to erow the frame ana mnsoruar system without laying on mnoh fat. It is a 'angey, well-developed animal, with a rigorous digestion, that is wanted in the milch cow. The profitable milch 20 w must be a large eater and make the best use of her food, in order to pro luce a large yield of milk. In rearing the heifer, then, she should be so fed is to give her a fall development of all the vital organs, and this will necessarily bring her digestive organs into special activity. Fat in the animal body seems only designed to serve as a cushion to the tendons and joints, to fill up and round out depressions, and lastly, as a reeerve of fuel to keep up animal heat in case of necessity. It is not the seat of any sensation, but little or nothing to do with the vital proBesses, and generally is merely inert ballast in the body. The food given, then, should not be designed to lay on fat?food containing an excessive amount of starch or oil should be avoided in feeding heifer calves designed for the dairy?but food rich in albuminoids and the mineral constitusnts of .the body is what should be 30Ught.?National Live Stock Journal. How to Train Tomato Vines. in all my experience ana ooservanon in the cultivation of the tomato plant, says a writer for the Country Gentleman, I have never seen so profitable a way as is praotised by my next neighbor. When his ground is made ready, he sets the plants in rows about four feet apart and three feet in the row. When about a foot high, he places a stake about six feet long firmly driven into the ground, leaving about four and a half feet above gr >und. To these stakes the stalks are tied, pains being taken as the plants grow to have a crotch at or near the ground. As these two branches grow, he entwines them about the stake. When any branches start out of the main stalks, they are allowed to grow only a few inches long, then headed in by taking off the terminal buds. In that way many side branches are tarnished for bearing. When planted in this way, the plants are easily cultivated; light and air freely oiroulate in every part. The tomatoes being thus favored grow very large, and being so far above ground, are free from dirt, and all wash ing and cleaning are avoided. They are ready for market when picked. Where there is not a suitable branch formed near the ground one stalk is wound around the stake, and does very wall. When the stalks reach the top of the stake they are not allowed to go higher On plants set out in this climate about the last of April or first of May, the first ripe fruit appears about the middle of July, and growth of vine and J yield of fruit oontinoe until frost sills ( ./ j the leaves?usually three months of ripening. My neighbor Wis me that in a good growing season 'he has piofced from half a bushel to three peoks from eacn average staxe, ana no larger or smoother tomatoes than his appear in market. He also tells ik^that he would rather have the stalks taller than short- 1 er. In this way of training the stalks the fruit is ripe two weeks earlier than by the low way of training. The object of this trimming is to indnce growth of ! fruit instead of unneoessafy branches. When the stalks are in rapid-growth, trimming is needed "bnce in fen or twelve days. In this way he has raised at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per i acre. .: * Household Hint*. j A remedy for fleas is to place a hand- ] fnl of tobacco stems in the place where , the dog or horses sleep, or a leaf or two of the same weed will rid a setting ( hen of the pests.

For a bird in the t air shall oarry the voice, and that which j hath wings shall tell the matter." Sach phrases as " He was beset with duns," "He was dunned for money < that he owed," etc., are often in use. . Horne Tooke says that dun came from j the Anglo-Saxon dynan and the Icelandic dyn, and that " a dun is one who c hai dinned another for monev or anv- . thing else." Another idea is that dnn ' oomes from the French, where "dcnny" means "give me," and that it is a de- ] mand for something due. Another ( derivation, plainer and more matter of ! fact, is that in the reign of Henry XIII, ; there was a noted bailiff in the city of London named Joseph Dunn, so extremely active so dextrons in the man- 1 agpment of h:is rongh business that it i became a saying when a man refused or j neglected to pay his debts, " Why don't you Dunn him?"?that is, " Why don't 1 you send Dunn to arrest him ?"
