tends to make such a soil, but this alone

Remedy the Scale Insect.
?Whenever a tree is badly covered with
the scale insect rub off the rough bark
i and give the tree a free rubbing with
i Boap. 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.

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.?

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.

story:

Vorld has ever known. *Four years ago,'

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

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

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

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. A
poster for the paper cannot be displayed
without being stamped. The govern
ment must look at all the telegraphic dis
patches before they go into print. Every
thing is done there to kill a live paper.
One result of this is that in the smaller
Parisian papers the world outside of
France is generally disposed of in ten or
twenty liaea.
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.

.The fact is not generally known that
Within three hours? ride.Of Boston a largo
and profitable business has been carried
tin since 1848 along the seashore, and h
hothing.in?re nor less than "farming
under the sea." 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. Curious bargains are the
order of the day here. Another gentle
man has left a sum to rhe Academic
Francaise to be converted into an annual
prize for the most shining example of
filial piety, Assuredly if the virtues do
not flourish in France it is not for the
want of encouragement.
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.
