I prefer some dried, hard domee j tic soap. Then leave little pieces in the ! crotches of the tree, to be dissolved by rain. I have several young pear trees that kat fall I found c?verecf with the ] scales, that I treated in this manner, and this summer have no signs of a louse pa them They usually make their attacks on young trees first and those in the least vigorous condition* Some five years since they were much, more numerous on my bearing apple trees then now. I had it in contemplation to drench them with whale-oil soap, and should I find it necessary, .should, use two pounds whale-oil soap, two ounces carbolic acid to fifteen gallons of water, and put on the trees with a fountain syringe about the last of May or first of June?the period to be determined by an examina tion of the time of hatching. At that period I think one or two such thorough applications would effectually protect the trees. I think also that the same ap plication would be well worthy of trial for the codling moth and all insect life. ?2>. M. Jewett, Akron, Ohio. Bees* Let the apiary be placed on a dry soil and, if convenient, in some quiet Bpot away from the busy - routino of the do mestic circle! It should be shaded by trees to relieve tho little occupants from the scorching rays of a burning sun and shield them from too much exposure to strong winds. The best bee house that wo have ever used, is one with the back boarded up and with a good shingle roof. The hives should alwayB face the east if possible, as by so doing your bees get the morning sun, and few Btorms come from that direction to beat against the front part of the hives. Let it be located where they can be readily seen in swarming time from some door or window from the kitchen, if possible, that the women folks may give the alarm in case of swarming. The grass ehould be kept short by occasional cutting, as it is more convenient to get around the bees, and there is not so much liability of their being lost by falling into the grass. All ant-hills in the immediate neighborhood of the apiary should be destroyed. Spider webs and the like should be kept away from the hives. #I would recommend the planting of trees where you are not already favored with them?such as the bass-wood, poplar or tulip trees, horse chestnuts, commonly known as buckeye, all of which afford beautiful shade and are known to supply honey in abundance. A room is sometimes provided in the garret dwellings; it is very objectionable and we speak decidedly against any such arrangement, as the bees and honey are handled with difficulty.? Practical Farmer. Farm and Garden Notes? Corn meal produces more milk than sorghum meal does. It is said that fresh, clean hog's lard rubbed on warts of horses or cattle three or four times, will remove those excres cences. Do not forget to supply your fowls, especially those that are confined, with fresh bones that are well cracked. Beans that are weevil eaten can be used for seed by pouring boiling water over them, which will destroy the insect without injuring the germ. Dr. Sturtcvant advises that plum trees be grown in the poultry-yard. His ex perience is that poultry about the trees prevent the .work of the curculio. If pumpkins are fed to milch cows, the aeed should not be allowed to be eaten. They reduce the flow of milk through their action on the kidneys. A correspondent asks, "Can the quince be grafted successfully on the pear?" Most fruit growers, responds the New York Herald., agree that it cannot. It is not safe to feed potatoes, tur nips or other small roots to cows without slicing. Cattle chew food very little before it goes into the stomach, and small hard roots are just the shape to readily choke them. A top-dressing of well-decomposed manure may be spread with benefit on lawns that were not overthrifty during the summer. Give a dressing also to trees and shrubs that failed to make satisfac tory growth. Few farmers try to save liquid man ure in liquid form. It is too much labor to spread evenly on the land. Neverthe less those farmers make a great mistake who do not save it by obsorbents, so that it will go on the land and help the crops. A few shovelfuls of earth thrown among beets, whether stored in the cel lar or in pits, will greatly improve their keeping qualities. In cellars this is especially necessary, and a covering of sods over the top of the heap is a further advantage. Apples may be kept as follows: Fill nearly to the top, barrels with the applesj and then pour in fine, dry sand, and shake down gently till all the corners are filled with sand. It is claimed that the apples cared for in this way will keep indefinitely. If cros3 timbers are placed in cribs among the corn they will prevent the latter from moulding by keeping the ears from settling as the moisture dries out. A lot of dry cobs of last year's crop are also helpful, as they absorb much moist ure from the drying ears. It is a mistake to leave low land un draiced with the idea that it will make as good pasture as any. If drained it would be the best soil on the farm for cropping, and its superior fertility will help restore other portions of the farm" that have become partially exhausted. New corn is worth more to feed to cows than for any othes stock. They will eat cob as veil as grain, which is not the case with other stock. Ears of soft corn are fed with very little waste, as there is more nutriment in green cobs than in those that have become hard and woody. Road dust or other dry earth is valua ble in the stables, not only as an absorb ent for the liquid manure, but as a pre ventive or cure for barn mange, or scab. It is better than any ointment for that purpose if it is scattered over the head, shoulders and hack of the animal, but if used daily on the iloor they will gather enough of it without further trouble. Any one who will watch cattle that have been turned out to pasture will wonder how quickly they will learn to! pick out and eat the sweetest herbage, j That on the richest soil not made rich by j recent manuring is best. The grass over an underdrain is also better than that on undrained soil. Undoubtedly there is the same difference in crops cut and fed to stock, but it is not so easily noticed as where cattle make their own selection. As a general thing the summer season through, horses can do more work than oxen for this reason, if no other? they can stand the heat better. Both arc important on a considerable farm, and if the oxen is found to be worth the most ,\ hen age suspends labor, the horse will have made up the difference by the ce lerity of his movements, and the more diversified uses for which his labor has been made available. Both are good in their places, and no extensive farmer is properly equipped for business who is destitute of either.?Lewintm Journal. A farmer, who has made a small for tune of late years out of hogs, says that he can make a pound of pork in Septem ber, when hogs are run on second-crop clover, for one-half the .cost bf that pro duced, in N?v?mbef-and December from com alone. He is becoming more fully convinced every day that three-f ourths of the failures- in hog raising are due to following the old idea of hog and com, and that the only way we can Success fully compete v.ith feeders in cheap corn counties is by making our pork princi pally from grass-.

Household Hints. Drawn butter tastes well on boiled cabbage. A lump of butter mixed in mashed tur nips gives them a delicate flavor. A patch should always be put in square or oblong, and the seams carefully damp ened and pressed afterward on the wrong side. Door-panels can be prettily orna mented with pictures and decalcomanies and then varnished. The pictures should be fastened with flour paste. To make cloth water-proof apply a strong solution of soap to the wrong side of the cloth, and when dry wash the other side with a solution of alum. Gold and silver fish live longer if fed with nothing but water. This they should have fresh every day, and the globe should be thoroughly washed fre quently. Feathers slightly uncurled by the damp air may be restored by holding over a hot stove, then shaking and re peating until curled. Care should be taken not to burn the feather. Flowers may be kept very fresh over night if they are excluded entirely from the air. To do this, wet them thorough ly, put in a damp box and cover with wet raw cotton or wet newspaper, then place in a cool spot. Children who have cold feet should have red flannel socks to wear during the night. Mothers can easily make these out of small pieces of flannel, cut ting a pattern from an old sock. Tie about the ankles with scarlet braid. Paradise Yalley. A correspondent writes: Perhaps there is no combination of mountain and river scenery in America that will impress the spectator so much as that along the can ons and valleys of the Yellowstone, from Livingston to the Mammoth Hot springs. Snow-crowned peaks appear in succession; hill sides brown and round: barren gulches spotted with the white tent of the placer miner and his "pard." Cliffs with broken and fantastic profiles; mysterious depressions whose wild aspect is softened by thick woods of pine; a wonderfully pleasing picture which takes new shape at every new point of view. Trails of elk and mountain sheep, visible in steep reaches of fine broken rock, with occasionally the skull and antlers of some such game left bleaching where they fell. There are also numerous vestiges of gla ciers in the shape of immense moraines, the like of which geologists have never met with except among the Alps. Foot hills much harder to surmount than their graceful outlines would indicate; sloping vaUeys lush with grass; a road which now overhangs the impetuous river, and presently is so far from it as to give but a glimpse of thickets of trees upon its margin. This region has been called Paradise valley. It presents an appearance which makes the name appropriate. Probably it is not as fertile as the original Garden of Eden, and it lacks groves and or chards. The elevation and the early frosts, even though the bleached soil be plenti fully irrigated, will always interfere with the growth of anything but the hardier grains and vegetables, yet the country as a charming appearance, and the rap tures which people indulge in on behold ing it are quite warranted. There are many places in the old world lauded to the last degree for scenic features that lack very much of beauty and grandeur which here present themselves, to say notliing of the vastness and amazing va riety of the picture. The Pathos of London. You meet it everywhere; at every cor ner of the business streets where the common people live. Says a London correspondent: You see the "Public," with its great double door, its immense plate-glass windows with the names of the diiuks for sale within lettered on them; with its gas-lights brighter and more numerous than other gas-lights. When other shops are closed, the pub lics still light the streets with their evil glare. And hanging about their doors you see forever the army of lost?lost, at least, to all hope for this world; lost us far as you cun see. Old men come out of the publics blear eyed and tottering. Middle-aged men, with shaky knees, lean against its walls as if afraid that with a step onward they should fall. Old. old women come out, too, sodden and bloated or shri veled and toothless, shaking as if with palsy. Worst of all, you see young and pretty girls who have gone in to drown in fire some mad trouble of their own; and little children, who carry mugs or bottles, and wear a look of precocious cunning, precocious shame. It is strange how universal is this state of things. In no country in the world is drunkenness so constant a spectacle as in Grcut Britain. You cannot escape from it. It poisons the air you breathe. It confronts you everywhere. It transforms the faces of the lower orders into something worse than brutal, for it would be an unpardon able insult to an honest dog to compare him with these wretches, hopeless men and women. It may be that climate has something to do with this universality of drunken ness. The dense fogs strike a child to the very heart of those poorly-clad wretches, and they are tempted to warm is away, temporarily, by gin, and yet a little mwe gin. ;??' ...... . ^\ . A EOKANC& ?? Kemark able Story- Related t>T a Famous Singer. The "Lounger" of the Washington Sunday HaraU. relates the following story: "Inaii grange bf roh?nbej have nevef. read 'of % more wonaeirful Btbry than that I shall iffy to" fell as it wad told t? me by bite 'of the greatest J?gers the Vorld has ever known. *Four years ago,' said thelady relating the 6^,.*tnere was a y?ung American girl. hi ah Italian town who. w,as studying music. 8he came frpni a quiet New England village, and With her mother located in a place cele brated for its masters to undergo a com plete musical training. Her master was a thoroughly conscientious Italian, whose voice had broken down just as he began' tobe famous as a. ce?or, and .so .he had to give Up hk lifelong aspiration ?hd t*ahi bthers tb.gather in.the" gblici,en fbrr tune that by his art he .himself had hoped to win. . Thd gii-li who.been given.the sweet bid puritan name of Faith; Studied diligently, and was. in her .sec?na year's course when ad illness attacked her mother. The small sum set aside for Faith's musical studies was well-nigh spent in the mother's sickness. What to do the daughter did not know. They were without friends, and the future was without, hope. One night befofe retiring the girl knelt by her bedside and fervently prayed to God to help hef. ?he af?se from her prayer comforted, for in her ?imple way she believed in God, and that He always heard the prayer bf His child ren, who prayed believing in Him. That night She dreamed a curious dream. She saw her dead father as he had appeared in life. He said to her, 'Believe in God. He will help you.' The next night the dream was repeated. The third time sho dreamed she was at Monaco; that she had gone inio the great kursaal where they were playing. Shd sat down at a table and put a sum of money On the red Bquare and let it stay until the red had won thirteen times. Her father stood behind her chair as she sat, and when she finished he put his hands on her head and gave her his blessing, and then she awoke. The dream pu** zled her. She had never been at Mbnacd. She had never seen the gambling-hall, and yet the whole place had appeared so vividly in her dream! When her teacher came that day she told him of her dream, and those that had preceded it. H? listened attentively. Like all Italians he was superstitious. He thought of it all day. When he saw her again, he said: ? Why not try it 1 God helps us all in his own mysterious way.' That night her father came again, and said; 'Go!1 That decided her, She told h?r mother that she thought ft little rest and recre ation would help her, and said her teacher and his daughter, who were taking a little excursion, had asked her to join them. Might she go? The mother thought a few moments, and could see no harm in it to her child. She would only be away one night, and Bhe had her favorite servant to keep her company during her daughter's absence. The next morning they (the teacher, his daughter and Faith) took their departure.* They looked upon the beautiful gardens of Monaco, as lovely as was the garden of Eden before the fall. At 9 that evening the three entered the great kursaal. It was just as the girl had seen it all in a dream. The place was full of well-dressed people, ladies and gentlemen, and a band wai playing beautiful music. Tn a corner the girl recognized the table she had Hi-en in her dreams. With a swelling hjart and emotions that (an not b- described, she sat down, and the Ital>:;-. stood up behind her. During the day she had determined what to dr. "She d'^v from her portemonnaie two notes, each for one English pound, and the Italian showed her how to put them on a red spot. What if it were all a superstitious folly? What if she was simply wasting in a wicked gambling house the little money they had between them and starvation? She dared not think. She must do what her father had bidden her in her dream. 'Ma'amselle has won,'she heard the croupier say. 'Let it stay," she replied, 'What is the limit?'ashed the Italian. 'We have no limit,' the well-dressed, cold-blooded man with the suave voice said. She won again and again. The red had come up three times in succession. - She had won ?10, or $80 of our money. 'Will not the lady take up her money?' said the croupier. 'No,' she answered. 'Let it alone; I am going to play the red to win thirteen times.' He shrugged his shoulders imperceptibly. The game went on. At the sixth day her winnings were $G40. She sat like a ?vornan in a trance. When the red had won for the eighth time she had $2,.I5G0. Oh, what should she do? Before herthere was a small fortune. Ought she not take it and go? By this time a crowd had gathered. Something new was going on. A woman with a face like the dead had won eight times in succession on the red. A few old gamblers began to back the red to hs i. It was impossible that it should come up again. The game con tinued. Nothing was heard but theclick of ivory and the voice of the croupier saving: 'The red wins again.' At the tenth play she had $10,240. Her excitement was uncontrollable. Here before her was more money than she ever had seen in all her life be fore. It was hers! Should she take it and go? ' No,' she managed to whisper; ' I will play it all, lose or win. till 1 have played the red thirteen times!' The red came up again at the eleventh play. She had $20,400. For a moment she hesi tated. She would take God's gift?for it was His, she said?and go. Some thing said to her, 'Play the thirteen times!' She did. At the twelfth turn she had $40,090. She gasped like one fainting. 'Give her air,'said one just behind her. 'Once more, once more!' she whispered. Thirteen came, and the red one. She had $81,920. There was a soft sigh. 'Give her air; she has fainted,' said the croupier. The excite ment had communicated itself to the crowd who had gathered and watched. 'No more,' she managed to utter. It was over. The croupier gave her her money in English bills, $100 each, and calling a carriage, she and her friend left with an enormous fortune made in half an hour. At the next turn the red lost. The Romances of a Millionaire. There were three romances in the life of the late Joshua Scars, the millionaire grocer of Boston. The first was when he was a poor young man. He started a flirtation with a wealthy beauty on a railroad train, called on her afterward, and finally found that his suit was in vain, because he was poor and she was rich. He became engaged to a dashing young widow. One of her friends asked her: "What are you going to be married to that old fellow for?" "For his money, of course," said she. Sears heard of this: "For my money, eh ?" he cried; "not by a?blessed?sight." He went to his lawyers and was told she would have a good case in a breach of promise suit. He didn't want a lawsuit so he handed a confidential friend $10, 000 and told him to go and sec the widow and "fix things up;" which was done, she accepting the bribe and giving him his freedom. The third was when he was an old man. lie found himself enormously rich, but thought: "When 1 am gone, as I soon shall be, who will enjoy it all?" So he went to his friend, Alpheus Hardy, and said: "Hardy, Ira thinking of getting married. What do you think about it?" Hardy thought he knew a lady who would just suit. "Well, then, Hardy, you go and ar range it." So Hardy conducted the ne gotiations and Scars was accepted. On his wedding morn the bashful bride groom called Hardy aside, and said: "Hardy, I don't know anything about this ceremony, and you do. So I want you to stick close to my side and coach me, so that I won't make any thundering mistake." Hardy did so, and all went welL Lieutenant Masscuat, who lately fin ished a scientific mission near Bograra, discovered a Roman city in the southern dart of Djerba.

A beautiful imitation of tortoise shell is now obtained by treating horn in the following manner, the result being a ma terial admirably adapted to various artis tic and useful purposes: A paste is made p*f two parts quicklime, one of litharge, and a small quantity of soapmakers' lye or solution of caustic potash; this is ap plied skilfully on a thin plate of horn in such a manner as best imitates the nat ural spots of the tortoise shell, leaving the light partB untouched. . The paste is allowed to dry on, then brushed off, and the horn becomes permanently stained. The staining may be varied at pleasure, by substituting other colored oubatances for the litharge. All About Chimneys. Chimneys seem so natural to us that we forget that there was a time when they were unknown. They were in vented about the same time with clocks and watches. No house in ancient Rome Or Athens had them. The Greeks and Romans heated their rooms with hot coals in a dish, or by flues underneath the floor. The smoke passed out by the doors and windows. In England, in the time of the conqueror (1066), the fire was built on a clay 'floor or in a hole or pit in the largest room of the house. The smoke passed through an opening in the roof. At night a cover was placed over the coals. Everybody was by law obliged-to cover up his fire when the bell rang at a certain hour. In French this was couvrefeu, and hence the word "curfew" bell. Chimneys began to be used generally in England in the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth. No one knows who in vented them, or when they first came into use. We find them first in Italy. In Venice they appear not to be uncommon as early as 1347. In 1368 they had long been in use at Padua. They were at first built very wide and large, so that they could be easily cleaned. The wide chimney-pieces of some of our older houses are very curious. But as time passed on chimneys were made taller, narrow, and often crooked. When they had to be cleaned it was cus tomary to send boys up into them to re move the soot and ashes. It was then the saddest stories were told of the little sweeps who were forced to climb up the narrow flues, and come down torn, bleed ing and covered Tvith soot. These poor creatures, v ho were often not more than 6even or eight years old, were sometimes suffocated in the foul chimneys they at tempted to clean. When they reached the top they were expected to look out and give a loutf'shout. No boy would ever become a chimney-sweep from choice, and they were often driven to climb the chimneys by the fear of a whipping. The cruelty of the master sweeps was fearful. The little chimney-sweeper has passed away. His place is taken by a patent broom and a colored operator. Chim neys are built two and three hundred feet high. In Birmingham, England, one fell down recently on a large factory, killing and wounding thirty or forty workmen and others. In the days before chimneys were in vented men lived in clouds of smoke. The walls of the finest palaces in ancient Rome were soon covered with soot and filth. It was impossible to keep them, clean. The mosaics and the paintings on the walls soon became discolored. In the castles of England and France it was still worse. Here the huge fire blazed in the center of the great hall. The smoke cov ered the roof with black drapery, and the savage knights and squires were forced either to endure the cold or to live and breathe in on air that was dangerous to sight, health, and life itself.?Harper's Young People. Medical Treatment of Animals. A large English mastiff belonging to Lester Wallack is one of the patients in the Columbia veterinary hospital. He is under treatment for tumors on his el bows, caused by lying with outstretched paws. Speaking, on the medical treat ment of animals, Dr. Erskine S. Bates, Dean of the Faculty of the college, said: "The opinion is gradually gaining ground that there are many diseases that are common to men and animals, and that to insure his own safety from contagion it is necessary for man to be careful of the health of animals about him. The investigations that led to the discoveries of Jenner and the prevention of small pox, the discovery that scarlet-fever originates in horses, and that its spread may be prevented by the use of equine virus, arc but parts of the general fact of the identity of the diseases of man and animals. It is, however, not only from this consideration of self interest that greater care is now being taken of animals, but alBO from the fuct that it is being found out that it pays in money returns to take care of horses and cattle. It has long been recognized that race horses and fancy cattle require careful attention, but it is becoming known that it pays in dollars and cents to take care of even car horses. Nevertheless, in the whole United States there are not educated veterinary sur geons sufficient to supply one to each large city, to say nothing of the country districts. I have often received letters saying that there was none within^fifty or" 100 miles. The total value of the live stock of the country is $2,000,000,000. There are in New York city alone about 100,000 horses, to say nothing of the other animals, and yet there are only forty graduated veterinary surgeons. "The fact is th?\t men and animals arc constructed so much alike that a com plete medical education is as essential to become a competent physician for one as for the other. The lecturers in our vet erinary colleges are competent to treat either, and some of the foremost medical societies do not hesitate to pay attention to the medical needs of animals. The London Pathological society, whose president, Dr. Hutchinson, is one of the ablest men in the profession, has a com mittee on the diseases of animals, and our own Pathological society has fol lowed suit. I am satisfied that the more the subject is studied, the firmer will be the conviction that the diseases of live stock will explain many sources of con ? tagion.?New York Sun. Before a newsboy can sell papers in Paris, says the New York Graphic, his character must undergo a minute investi gation from the prefect of police.

AM0N6 THE SHAEEES? Btour an. Edltor Sporxt frnnday With the Canterbury Community; , ike editor of the Pbrtoo^th .(N: H ) ,*Tw*ru? describes a ?unday visit td the Shaker fcormnunity at Canterbury as f ol ldWB: The Canterbury Shakers have been established a little over a century. . The briginal. families were, previous to their adoption1 of Shaker belief, bf the Free will Baptist persuasion, and were con verted during the visit of missionaries from the Lebanon Shakers of New York not long after the establishment of that society Tby Mother Ann Lee. The three original families formed the nucleus of the presont three families,,t? which were added other families with their farms, until from ? small beginning they in creased iii numbers and property so that thly have how about 8; 000 acres of land ih Canterbury, beside a farm in New Ybrk, where they have raised wheat, but! ?jfrhich for several years they nave let out to othfer parties. They have a delightful location at Can terbury, upon high gr?und, generally in excellent condition, overlooking a broad extent of country on all sides, the distant hills surrounding -them " as the moun tains are around j^botit Jerusalem;" It is ? plape, where one who desires it ihay le?d 'i delightfully quiet life. The repose is ?hbr?ken by cars or even stages, the one barrier coming only once a day to bring the mails from Canterbury depot. Dur ing the summer season there are quite a number of boarders at the farm nouses around the village, but the shakers do not take boarders, not wishing to be troubled with the care of them, and not caring to be overflowed with strangers. Their meeting house, however, where all their families meet, is open to the public during the summer, having closed only a week ago. Their Sunday services are not now public, each of the three families as sembling in its own place of worship. The largest family is the "First, "known as the "Church1' family. By the cour tesy of that family we were invited to attend their service on Sunday last, though we were abiding with the "North" family. The "Middle" family is located between the "First" and "North," and u now a branch of the "First/' The families have each their Own separate interests, taking care of their own property and finances, just as any family would; but all are united as* ?a community. Sabbath morning was one of ths most delightful of the season, and we rode to the meeting-house with pleasing antici pations, which were fully realized as we entered and witnessed the Shaker wor ship. At the door the lady visitors are taken to the women's woiting-room,: and the other kind of visitors to the men's room, and from there conducted to separate sides of the hall of wor ship. When we entered the services had begun. About a hundred Shakers were present, standing, the sisters on the right and the brethron on the left, while the reading service was being con ducted by the elders, every one appear ing to give much heed thereto. Then followed singing. There was no instru ment, but as soon as the key-note was enven there arose a chorus of voices thai thrilled the listener with their fullness, complete harmony and accurate time. II was no half-service. Every one seemed to sing as though the voice of praise flowed free from the heart. It was prais* that could be felt, and carried an influx euce with it that only those who sing with the spirit and the understanding can exert, and from that moment we be lieved in the sincerity of the Shakers, and entered with a real interest into tho spirit of their worship. Reading and another song followed, when the eldei directed them to take positions for march' ing. The brethren on their side and tht sisters on their side formed the outei circle, and the younger penplc anothei circle inside, while in the centei were the leaders in the singing. The singing began, and, after the first bai was sung, the marching,?the same ear nest, full-toned music filling the room. As they marched, the hands (palm; turned up) kept time, and every motion and expression of countenance seemed to indicate the worshipful disposition of the people. The old method of keep ing time with the palms of the hands turned down, and also the shuffling with the feet, have, we understand been done away with; the present use of hands and feet in marching is graceful and free from anything that could evoke ridicule. After the marching there was a singing service in which the sisters went from one to another shaking hands, and part of the time the congregation kneeled to gether most worshipfully. The hands were also clasped in some parts of the sing ing. The whole effect was very inspirit ing, and doubtless prepared the wor shipers for the giving of tes timony, which followed when they were again seated. It was then very much like a prayer meeting of wide-awake Christians in some of our chapels, the im port of the remarks indicating that the great idea of the Shaker is to be as nearly as possible a follower of Christ in all things, much stress being placed upon the fact of His celibacy. But altogethei the whole was an earnest spiritual meet ing, .with which any one, whatever his creed might be, could generally affiliate. The children appeared to enter with spirit into the worship, and to enjoy it. They are a bright and cheerful set of boys and girls, and don't wish to leave their friends the Shakers. So they told us. The community is one of the happiest and most cheerful ?is a whole,. that one will anywhere find. A more contented set of men and women, and one whose lives are more consistent both at home and abroad, will be hard to find. They are as fund of a plcnsant joke as anyone, and some of them are well able to make one. They are not the sanctimonious, canting people that one might look for under their peculiar garb. They are, how sqer, always ready to defend their relig ious views and to show that theirs is no empty creed. Indeed, the shakers have no stated creed. They do not expect the the whole world to follow them, nor do they think the world is doing wrong to marry and be given in marriage; but they believe that they are on a plane above tho "order of generation," as they term it?a people set apart from the world. They arc certainly above the average of humanity in morality and good works. There arc eighteen societies of Shakers in the United States, every one that has been established having prospered. But the world is furnishing now a less number of recruits than formerly to the rauks that can be filled only from the outer world, and they are in need of more brethren. Whoever can enjoy their Society and enter into the true spirit of Shakcrism, will in their community lead a happy and con tented life, almost entirely free from the annoyances and anxieties of life in the world. Border-Land of Insanity. The doctrine that the border-land of insanity is a very narrow one, and that most sane people arc near the line, has been extensively taught during the last quarter of a century. Now, the truth is, that there is a broad line between sanity and insanity; and that "all men are mad" is not true in any reasonable sense. There are, however, a large number of persons who have an insane impulse to do some wicked deed?to kill themselves or some body else, to jump into the sea if on a vessel, to throw themselves from a height if on top of a building or on the border of a precipice. Only recently, while lis tening to a lecture on insanity by one of the most noted neurologists in New York, he stated un experience of his own, and said that once while visiting some roman tic scenery in the great West, he desired to look down a deep precipice. He laid down fiat on his face, close to the edge of it, and gazed into the depths below. To his utter amazement he was seized with a desire to throw himself down the abyss, and lost the power of restraint. He called vigorously to his friends near by to drag him back, and this alone saved him from the deed. ? While, however, such impulses are frequent, we believe they do not trouble the peace of mind of the ma jority. Such as have them should strengthen their nervous systems by cul ture, strengthen their wills, and take good care of their brains.?Herald of Health.

Everywhere upon the coasts of Eastern New England may be found, ten feet below the water-marks, the lichen known asenrageen?tho "Iridy. inoss" of commerce: It may be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere, and yet the little seaport of Scituate is almost the only place in the country where it is gathered, and cured. This village is the great cen ter of the moss business in the country, and the entire TJnidn draws its supplies from, these beaches. Long rakes ?re used1 in tilling this marine farm, and it does not take long to fill the ma?y dories that await tie lichen, torn from its salty rock bed. The husbands and fathers gather the moss fr?m the sea, and the wives and daughters prepare it for market. Soak it in water and it will melt aw?y td a jelly. Boil it in milk and a delicious white and creamy blanc mange is the result. The annual product is from 10,000 to 15,000 barrels, and it bring $50,000 into tho town, which sum is shared by 150 fami lies; Its consumption in the making of lager beer is very large, and the entire beer interest of the country draws its sup plies from Scituate beaches, as the impor tation from Ireland has almost ceased. It is not generally known that the moss, as an article of diet, is called "sea moss fa rine." Gurions Legacies. A Paris letter says: M. Bourdon has left 20,000 francs to the Paris poor of the seventh arrondissement,with the pro viso that the municipality shall keep his tomb in order. The codicil provides that the interest shall be given each year to a poor family having a marriageable daughter. The good doctor must have read the biography oi Van Steemskcrk, the Dutch painter, who (eft a similar pro vision for the dowerless girls of his na tive village. He did not seem to have cared, however, for the spick-and-span appearance of his grave, because the will expressly stated that the wedding should take place on the spot. In addition he left instructions for the disposal of his Wine, of which he possessed 10,000 bot tles. Two hundred were to be consumed at each marriage untill the stock was ex hausted.

The Effect Was Wonderful. A blind man crossing the street tho other day was on the point of being run over by a reckless driver, when at the risk of her own life, a beautiful young lady ran to his rescue and piloted the poor man to the pavement. A rich bachelor saw the transaction, and st raight way sought her out, was introduced, courted, proposed, was accepted, and married the heroine. The effect has been wonderful. Hopeful young ladies may now be seen standing in the vicinity of street crossings with one eye search jng for stray blind men, and the other on the lookout for a rich bachelor, for it would be a terrible bore to tackle the old blind man without the rich bachelor around.?New York Sun.
