some MoTe Women, In October, 1877,the brigatine Moor burg left Fooohon in China, for Biel bourne; oarryjng four seautien, ihe captain,mate, and last but by nro means least, the captain's wife, who was a little delicate woman, and her baby. They had not gone far on their voyage ere the crew fell sick, and one after another died. The mate did not suc cumb entirely, but beca me reduced to a skeleton, and was incapable of doiig much; while the captain himself was almost in as miserable a plight, his legs having swollen tremeneously,and his body being a mass of sores. His wife alone held up under the terrible heat, although shehad nursed the sick tall they needed nursing no longer,had looked well to her baby's needs, had done duty at the wheel in regular watches, and taken her share of sea man's work beside. To make matters worse, the ship sprung a leak, which the captain luckily was able to stop; and eventually the Moorburg got into Brisbane harbor, half-full of water, with two sick men on board as her crew all told, and a woman at the helm; the gallant woman bringing not only the ship but her baby safe into port. Some time in 1871, a woman named Theresa Maria, dwelling in the vil I- go of Fratel, on the frontier of Portugal and Spain, on the way across the fields with her husband's dinner, was told by a shepherd boy that he had seen a wolf prowilng about. Never havirj seen one in her llfe,sho pus down her basket,and looking eagerly around, described the animal in the act of devouring a lamb. Thinking to scare the brute from its pray, the boy shouted at it and pelted it with stones; so infuriating the wolf, that it left its meal unfinished, and made for its disturber, Jumping up at the little fellow's face, tearing the flesh, and then pulling him to the ground. What did the horror stricken onlooker do-run away ? Not she. Plking up a large stone, she rushed on the beast and slsed holi of him. In vain he bit and tore her flesh ; the un daunted woman contrived to keep his throas closejy enfolded by her left arm. while she battered his head with the stone and at length killed him. Mean while, the vilagers had been alarmed, and came hurrying to her aid, armed with guns, sticks and stones; meeting Theresa on her way home covered with blood from terrible wounds in her face arms and hands. They carried her to the hospital at Niza, where, pitiful to tell, she explied exactly a month after ward, consoled in her dying hours with believing that she had not sacrificed her life in vain. A false belief, alas I Obr the shepherd-boy died of hydropho bla a day or two after his lanented de liverer. Courageous in another way was a woman of the Commune, who during that terrible rising had worked day and night in the hospital, assisting a certain surgeon, whose services were freely rendered to men ni ith whose cause lie had no0 sympathy. When the insurrection was quelled, the doctor was arressed and marched off to be tried by drum-head court martial. As ho approached the door of the tribunal, he mrdt his late female assistant coinng out between two soldiers. "Why, Adele I" lie exclaimed, "how eamie y "iu here?" Looking hard at hihnu, wvith unrecognising eyed, she replied: "I don't know you, sir ;" a denitalihe se down to a fear of acknowledging the acquaintance of a doomed man. Not a little to his surprise, lie got oil'and was set at liberty, to learn that Adele had been shot, and was on her wvay to death when she had repudiated all knowledge of him and forbore appealing for his aid, rather than compromise him, and render his chaunce a desperate one. A poor servant girl of Noyon, in France, once proved herself a real heroine. A common sewer of great depth had been opened for repairs, the opening being covered at night with some planking; but those in charge of the operations neglected to place any lights near, to warn way-farors or the danger in their path. Four men re turning home from work stepped on the planks, which being frail amid rot ten gave way under their weight, and precipitated them to the bottom. It was some time before any one became aware of what had happened; and whmen the people gathered round, no man among the crowd was daring enough to re spond to the frantic entreaties or t he wives of the entombed men by descend. lug into that foul and loathsome depth. Presently, a fragile-looking girl of seventeen, stepping to the front, saId quietly: "1,1. go downt and try to save the poor fellows ;" and creatures calling themselves men wvore not ashamed to stand by and see Catharine Vasseur let down on her valiant but fearful mission. Then ensued a row long minutes of anxious suspense be fore the signal to haul up was felt, and two at i breathing but unconscious men were, with the gallant girl, brough t to the sur face. Nigh exhaustedl as the effort had left her, the heroic maiden only stayed to gain breath be fore descending again, regardliess of the risk she ran. Tihis second venture nearly proved fatal. Upon reaching the bottom or the sewer, and fastening a rope around one prostrate form, Cathiarine felt as Vough she were being strangled by aii invisible hand. Udrortuiately, the rope round hier own waist hmad becoine unfastened ; and when, after groping along the dripping, clammy well, her hand touched it, she had not strength sufmelent to pull it dlown. Dazed as she was, she still had her wits about her and loosing her long hair, twisted the luxuriant tresses with the rope. The rope was hauled u'p; and the horrified crowd beheld the Inanimate form of the brave young girl swinging by her hair, and to all appearance dead. Fresh al~r and prompi. adm inistration of stim ulants brought her to consciousness, and the happiness of knowing that, if he had failed in saving all, her brave endeavors had iestored three of thie bread-winners to their familIes. FARM AND GARDEN. COOKHnD FOOD.-The results of feed ing swine wAi cooked corn and meal, instead of the uncooked article, arb well known to every farmer. The gain is fully twenty per cen;., which muok more than covers the extra cost atten and upon the course. The argument may be brought against the method that cooked food is not the natural diet of the "feather world.', We are not aware that our primitive man knew very much of the many choice' viands with which we are to day familiar: but this does not lessen our appetite for them in the least. When we look at it, tastes are almost universally acquired. There can be no objection to a change of food, provided the kind substituted fills the requirements of life giving quali ties. We seldom boll corn for our poultry, as we prefer to give that raw as the evenItg meal; but for those who choose, even this can be cooked to ad vantage. If It is too much work to shell thecorn, boll it on the cob and let the fowls have the sport of rolling the ears about as they pick their living. The fowls will soon th e of a cooked diet en tirely, but it is very easy to substitute grain occasionally. Make the cooked food varied, by giving a quantity of potatoes one day, and cabbage or onions for akiother, and so on through the week; cracker crumbs from the waste of the grocers' barrels and boxes are capital to mix with the meal occa sIonally; buy thematalow price. Then let them pick the bones left from the table, afterwari burning and crushing them for material In making shells. Be careful of rye bran-it Is too much in clIned to swelling, and rapid fermenta Lion In the crop producing death in a short time. If you are to> busy to at tend to systematc feeding, your good wife will d , it willingly, or the child ren will plead for the chance, after a little Instruction. Don't forget that the poultry branch of the farm will pay the best lercentage of profit, in proportion to the outlay, of* a y.11 you me still conservative on this point try it faithfully one year. DO NOT NEGL.cT YOUR WELL. Friend, you have a mmud hole at your well ? Go for it at once. Do not eat or sleep till It Id removed. Take a hoe and drag out the mud and filth, and then fill the hole with dry soil or sand. Alter dolig this, shut out the pigs and poultry froni the well, and keep them out. If the curb is broken or rotted down, replace with a new one. After doing this, scrape away the grass and surface soil around the well, and re. )laco with it layer of and and gravel. If, from the character of the land,.y our well ever tills with water, cut a diteh six feet all around It, at the distance of a few yards, and have an outlet from this to take oil' tihe wvater. The water In tihe well vill not, after this, rise higher than the bottom of the ditch. if your water Is muddy and impure,throw In a peck of limne to purify It. If anl imalculo appear In the water, throw it$ a haitt gallon of salt to make them settle to the bottoi. And it is worth while to take some pains to fix up some conveniences at your well. A bench to set the b- cket on while It Is being illied, and a hiamuly and easy way to get the water, and a smooth, dry path fron the wel! to the kitchen-these things will make so mucli easier the task of. your wives and daughters. Farmers, do not neglect your wells a single day longer, but see that all a1tout thein Is neat and tidy, and deter mine to keep i1 5o. CHNAnaNG THEa Co.--The adyantqge of a rotatin, either regular or irregu lar, resulis fromi a number of consid eratuion~s, some of thie more Iiportant of which are as follows: First, differ ent, crops require food elements In dif I'erent proportlons--thus potatoes re quire imiuch more potash Lhan wheat, andl this crop grown f or a successlon of years would exhaust the natural sup. ply miuch more rapily thtan whena only grown with a number of other crops Letweenii,not dw andinig a large amiont of potash.

Ciover' sends long tap-roots Into the sub oil wnich anet as pumps to bring tip food elemnents that may be uased by sur (ae feeding crops that follow. TIhlrd ly, as d(ir~eent crops require dliferent nixethods( of ecuIti vatiaon,the rotatilon can be so arranged that there wvill be con slant suipply of' labor distributed throughout, tihe whole season.

If the land Is not under d rained, It should be plowed in narrow ridiges, with openl furrows cleanly plowed between them. ThIs raises the general level above the reach of the water, anmd provides channels for the wvater to flow oir'. It has beenS definiltely established that there are blonde piersonsin Persla,and that they amre In the proportion of two per cent to the whole population. M.

An alphabet which does not en able us to do this is, in his opinion, Jra rational and Inadequate. A n adeqtiete alphabet would not disturb the science of etymology, because that deals with sotunds, not with letters. "14," he concludes, "the hIstory of writing has taught us anything, It is that writing is perfeotable, and that what was done In old days by those whose civilization we are apt to consider inferior to our own can be done also by Ourselves." DOMESTIC. FoNBIGN BOMDS IN TE EAR.-It il well known to all medical praotitionern that it is a diffloult matter at times tc remove foreign bodies from the ear. Having lately come aeross a cherry stone firmly impacted in that organ, . failed to remove it with the ordinarj instruments, and adopted the follow. ing method withi complete success, Having made an'lmitation sucket, suet as boys use f9r liflng stones, by at taching a small piece of leather to a strong thread I Oleaned the presenting part of the cherry-stone, and then ap plied the suoker, previously moistened with strong cement. By means of a small wire, I pressed it firmly against the stone, and allowed half an hour tc elapse before attempting to withdraw it. On doing so, I found considerable p till necessary (as the stone had beem in for forty-Eight hours); but the cement had adhered so firmly that J had nodiffleulty in extracting the stone, POTATO CaoQuaT.-One pound mash. ed potato; one egg; one tablespoonful of rilk; a little pepper and salt; a few spoonfuls of bread crumbs and cracker dust. The potatoes wust be mashed when thoroughly dry. When mashed throw in a small quantity of -salt, a lit tle pepper and the yolk of an egg. Stli the yolk with the potatoes over the fir till thoroughly dry. Flour the board well, bake a little of the nwashed pota toes and roll lightly in the flour; make them into any shape. When the cro. quet is well formed, beat well up. the white of an egg; roll the croquet In it throw over all a little broad crumb oi cracker dust. Profitale Patients. The most wonderful and marvelous success in cases where persons are sick or wasting away from a condition of miserableness, that no one knows what ails them, (profitable patients for doo tore,) is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They begin to cure from the first dose and keep it up until perfect health and strength Is restored. Who ever is afflicted In this way need not suffer, when they can get Hop Bitters. -Cincinnat Star. A HANDSOME and expensive mat foi the floor may be made of burlap work. ed In cross-stitch with differnt colored worsteds. Use for it the odds and endi left from other fancy work. Work a few stitches of one color and then o another, just as the colors happen tc come, and the effect is like that of an elabrate Persian pattern. If one cares to spend much time on it a centre pleat and border add much to the beauty ol it. The mat may be lined with a piece of carpet., matting or new ticking, and the edge finished with worsted fringe or with flannel out in scallops. SoMsI one may wish to know how tc wash a Ilnen duster in such a way that it will not look faded. An old colored linen should always be washed in lukewarm water. If there are any grease spots use a little hard soap, or better still remove them with benzine. Rinse thoroughly in water in which a third of a cup of salt has been dissolv ed, the last water must be blue and a small handful of starch put in. As soon as the duster is dry take It down, so that the wind will not blow the starch out. If dampened with warm water It will soon be ready to iron. LAMP shades made of autumn leaves are very beautiful. To make them, cut the shade the proper shape In stifl white paper, when the leaves, which have been prevlously dried and pressed, are arrang ed on It in a wreath, and fastened se c-.irely by gum. The whole Is tihen covered with a very coarse net, and the edges bound with gilt or colored paper. A NE.AT and useful ottoman may be made by taking a box in which fine cut tobacco is packed and covering it with creton ne. The top may be taken off and pus on without diffilulty if~, after cov ering, a narrow ruille to fall over the edge is tacked on. An ottoman of this sort is convenient in the bedroom, where it may sorve as a receptacle for stockings. If one does not care to buy cretenne, bits of carpet may be used for the covering. TxoY ROLLs.-One pint of milk, one hail cup of butter, one-quarter cake oi compressed yeast, two quarts of flour. Ileat the milk and butter until the but ter is melted ; add the yeast, pour the mixture in the mIddle of the flour, stir a little, If mixed at 9 A. Mt., meld at 1 P.

Bs -anybody the right to say thal dogs haven't minds? Yes, minds in the same sense as that men have mindi Atted up with imagination, memory, and reason. A little dog of the kind known in England as King Charles was lying on the rug in his owner's sitting room, when that gentleman came in and said to his wife, "I have just paid that dog's tax," and looking at it with a severe expression, added, "and he's not worth his tax." The lit. tle dog immediately got up, and with a crestfallen appearance, put its tall be. tween its legs and left the room. It was never seen or heard of afterwards, thoug -i the most thorough search and inquiry was made. IT Is related of the Grand Duke Con. stantine of Russia that upon one occa sion at a ball at the Tuileries, in the palmy days of the second empire, the mpress Eugenie asked him which woman in the assemblage seemed tc him the most beautiful. His answer was, perhaps, as disappointing to the lair Empress as it was complimentary to his wife. "Your majesty,' said Ie, "must excuse me. I am only a bar. barian, a Cossack. I only know one handsome woman; she is my wife." A TUUNG man who had signed the pledge, entered a barber's shop, and.aI the close of the shave, the knight ol the razor commenced bathing the man'i face with rum, when he was somewhal taken back by an exclamation, "Lool out I I have signed the pledge, and J won't have that stuff so near my mouth ?" DEAN Swiwr called at a house in Cav an,where the lady overdid his welcome, saying: "Will you have an apple pie, air? Will you have a gooseberry pie, sir! Will you have a currant pie, sirl Will you have a cherry pie, sir? Will you have a rlum pie, sir?" Will you have a pigeon pie sir?" At last, wear. led with her words, he said. "Any pie, madam, but a magpie." AMOno the effects of a New Yorker who committed suicide were one hun dred and fourteen scarf-pins.

Now Mineral Deposits are Formed. The metallic solutions which -have for med our ore depositis have been ascri bed to two sources. One theory sup poses that they have drained highly metalliferous sones deep in the intert or of the earth; the other, that they have leached diffused metals from rooks of different kinds comparatively near the surface. The latter view is the one that Professor Newberry favors. However probable such a thi g might seem, no evidence of the existence of distinct metallio or metalliferous zones in the interior of the earth has been gathered. On the contrary, says Pro fessor Newberry, volcazlo emissions, which may be supposed to draw from a lower level than water could reach, are not specially rich In metallic mat ters, and the thermal waters which have by their depoqlt filled our mineral veins musthave derived their metallic salts from a zone not many thousand feet from the surface. The mineral springs which are now doing a similar work, are but part of a round of circulation o surface water, which, failing from the clouds, pene trates the earth to a point where the temperature is such as to drive it back in steam. This, with fluid water u nder pressure and highly heated, possessing great solvent power, may be forced tnrough vast beds of rock, and these be effectually leached by the process. Should such rocks contain the minu. test imaginary quantity of the metals these must inevitably be taken into so lution, and thus low toward or to the surface, to be deposited when, by dini nished temperature and pressure, the solvent power of the menstruum Is dl. minshed. It is evident from these facts that we cannot trace the history of the metals back beyond the Lauren tian age. And since we find them dif fused in greater or less quantity through ,the sedimentary rocks of all ages, and aso find processes in action which are removing and redeposiling them In the form of the ore deposits ve mine, It is not necessary to look further than thI4 for a sufficient theory of their forma. tion.
