Verbum Sap. Our esteemed contemporary tho Nelson Miner says that some 8 or 10 claims iu thu Stooau will be worked probably ull tbe winter; we sincerely hope tbat suoh will bu tbe case as "something to do" will be wanted by many before long. However there are some signs of return ing prosperity, for Ihe luruuoes in Pittsburgh, Pa., have started again, giving employment to many thousand bauds; aud when tbe Iron trade improves our experience shows that all other trades very shortly follow iu tue iiaoic direction. Two prospector* Messrs Harvey and Smith wbo left here very recently ina boat for tho Big Beud met witb a very unpleasant experience. Finding some miles up that tbe stream was too strong to row against tbey got out to tow tbeir bout fr.>ni the baok. Whilst thus engaged a large'rock on which Mr. Smith was standing gave way with bim and lie fell into tbe river, narrowly escaping being drowned, Unluckily this oaused both to lose tbeir: hold of tbe boat wniob started full speed back for Revelstoke. It was however caught by some Indians and with its contents taken care of till the owners appeared. They oamped on tbe river bank near tbe Viotoria for a day or two, aod left again on Tuesday for another attempt. -Mr. E. C Brooks, tlie plioiugrapbitr.wbo had his studio ia a large tent near tbe C.P.R. tank folded up the former and left for Nanaimo. On to Kooteuay. From the News Advertiser of Sept. 7th,���By an advertisement, whioh appears elsewhere, it will be seen that the C. P. Railway Oompany is calling for tenders for tlie construction of 10 miles oi the Arrow Lake Branoh of its railway from Revelstoke sonth. It is understood that the construction of tbis section of the road before the close of the year is expected to enable tbe Company to reach open water and so maintain the tbrongb traffio during the winter. This means a great deal not only for Kootenay, but for tbe trade of Vancouver and Victoria. The decision of the Company to proceed witb tbis work at tbis time, demonstrates tbat it is able to prosecute desirable nr judicious extensions of its system at a period of financial stringency which is taxing very severely the resources of roads, wealthy bnt not so judiciously managed as the C. P. R. It is also another proof of tho firm belief of the Company in the possibilities of traffio from tbe development of tbe mineral resources of tbe Kootenay distriot. BeaNey Childrcns' Concert. Very seldom indeed has it fallen to our lot to enjoy such a musical treat as tbat which was provided on Wednesday eveniii'* lust by the Beasey children. Suoh natural i.;raee and ease characterised ih." cxeontion of most difficult classical music that it was hard to believe tbe performers were but children; the time and tune being perfeot ' in every piece. Wbun all were ao thoroughly excellent it is not easy to select anyone for special praise but tbe performance of,;Miss Jennie Beasey on the piano was something to remember. Thattaleuted young lady proved herself a bom musical artiste, as much at home on tho violin as on tho piano, aud tbe "March to heaven," her own composition, was worthy of a far more experienced composer. The programme (far too short for tbe audience) consisted of 8 pieces, several of which reoeived a well merited encore; the audience seeming to consider that it was no great trouble to tbe young ladies to play all the evening if asked to do so; aud the ease and rapidity witb which tbe sisters bandied their instruments may well serve as an excuse for suoh an opinion. Tbe audience was far smaller than the entertaiuuicnt deserved, but tbis was partly owiug to the non arrival of the advertising posters in due time, and partly to local causes, If small however the audience was highly appreciative, and most heartily enjoyed what was i.ui only uu evenings' uiiturtaiumeut but a rare musical treat. We sincerely hope to have Ibe pleasure of seeing and beiw'ig these graceful and accomplished young ladies nguio on no distuut ocoas- iiin. The Kootenay DiMtrictt-. The Kootenay districts continue to give every indication of great mineral wealth, and prospecting is active. Eighteen hundred and eighty-night olaims were recorded during 1892. These districts bave an advantage >ver the northern mineral bearing portion of tbo province, tnusmnch ns llie lakes and rivers are open at all seasous, and several of tbe bitter ure navigable during some months ofthe year; but it is to tbe construction of the several short lines of railway��� charters for which have been granted-tbat cheap 11importation must be looked for. L irge sinus have been spent by private individuals on traili. and on a waggon roal to connect Kootenay lake witb Three Forks, to tap several mines there. Some shipments have been made to Taooma, ou which tbe cost of transportation by pack train from tbe mines to Kootenav lake���a distance of between 20 and 30 miles��� has been $40 a ton. From lhe latter point to the smelter at l'acoma tbe frieght rate was $3 a ton. In addition to theso freight outlavs, tbe ore was subject to United States duty of iy,e. a poHud on lead contained therein and whioh runs about 60 per cent., thus making a total for freight aud duties of about 866 a ton. exclusive of the cost of miuiug and smelting. Notwithstanding these exoessive charges the profits of these ventures were satisfactory, mil other sbipmeiits will follow. One miue is being worked with steam drills aud a concentrator. Witb this exception, no mining ou a practical basis has yet been attempted. Such enterprises re quire large capital, consequently prospeotors are obliged to recoup themselves by tbe sale of their .claims, and of tbe olaims reoorded dnring 1892, about 50 per cent, were transferred, whilst many others bare been bonded for various sums, aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars. The lead and silver-bearing ores are, at present, ooenping tbe attention of the majority of tbe prospeotors, but some very fine specimens of oopper ore and large deposits of iron have been found Gold, in placer, hydraulic and quartz workings, has been found on the Salmon river and its tributaries, and promises rioh results. Prosoeotors and capitalists are yearly increasing, and are closely followed by traders tn all kinds of mer obandise. Much capital is being invested in smelting, and reclaiming lands and in tb* lumber business. Two of the leading banks doing business iu the Province found it desirable to establish branches in the West Kootenay district in 1892. The development of tbe Kootenay Distriots is steady and undoubtedly solid. The extent and variety and richness of the minerals fonnd there,and the natural advantages found in an abundance of timber ou tbe spot, and tbe proximity of vast fields of superior coal must result in successful development. When a few miues have proved remunerative, then, and then only, may be expeoted a large influx of the capital required to construct tbe railways, aud to transform these districts into what they are destined to be���tbe riobest mining camps on the American continent.-Annual Report B.O.

"I don't know what's come to him," complains the garrulous American. "Guess he's oil his head sometimes, Those dollars have been nn unlucky windfall for him.

It is impossible to avoid shaking hands with him now, and she does so. Neither of tliem speaks, however; but the constraint ii not noticed by the rest oi the parly, far the horses are coming out of the enclosure now, and every eye turns to the starting paint. Aldebert wins the race; but to Lauraine everything seems confused and indistinct, and iu comparison with Lady Jean's excitement and delight at Sir Francis' success, her own manner seems strangely cold and unconcerned. Amidst the hubbub and ex- citement, the noise of voices and shouts of rops her voice mysteriously) that, he's with j congratulation, Keilh bends nearer to Laur. thatnolorious Frenchwoman (Joraiic Lafltte, My word, if that's so, won't she make the dollars Ily ! All the same, I'm uncommon sorry for Keith. Never thought he was one ollh'ti sort." Lauraine grows hot and cold with shame ra slic Hstons, She had thought there would ho nothing harder for her to do after giving him up, after that last sad parting ; but to hear of his recltloasnoas, his sins, to know that she may he In a measure to blame for holh cuts her to the heart, She sits quite silent, her hands busy with somo crowd-work that she is doing. Mrs. Bradshaw li. Woollffe is piying her a morn- ing visit, Lady Joan has tied at the first approach of the enemy, ami so Lauraine has to cnti'i'laiu her alone, Mrs. Woollffe talks on, on ; but her listener hears nothing of what she says. Her thoughts aro only with the man whose lifo sho has wrecked. Her storin-shattorcd heart aches and throbs with memories freshly brought to life. She has done what was right; she has severed ber life from his, but if it makes him evil, desperate, hopeless; if itsends him to profligate imon and bad women, if his bright young manhood is laid waste and desolate, was it, .onId it he, right after all? Her influence, her presence, had always been a restraint upon hioi, and she had denied him both���cast him out to the fire of temptations, the recklessness of despair. It was a horrible thought -, no one knows how horrible save a woman whose soul is Jiure, whose heart is passionate, who sees the life she loves and fain would bless, pass out and away from her keeping, and knows that it is beyond her power to recall or claim its fidelity ; who sees il lose itself in evil, and seek forgstfulness in wild ami Icverisli excitements, and knows that a word, one little word might have held it back and kept it safe and unharmed, " I must not think of it, I must not," she Bays to herself ill passionate scorn ; anil she looks up from the tangled crewels and tries to interest herself in Mrs. Bradshaw Woollffe's gossip, and promises to drive with her in the Lichtenthal Allee, forgetful of Lady Jean's disgust. " Well, I'll go," says hor loquacious frionc" " I have some news that will please you, I hope," he says. " I am going lo marry Nan, 113 you advised me.'1 For one .startled instant. Lauraine ia quite unable to speak or move. She feels the hot blood surging to her brain ; she I urns dizzy and faint. But the importance of self-command is present to her mind. She forces herself to appear as little moved as possible. Her voice is perfectly calm as she says: "lam glad to hear it. Pray accept iny congratulations." And then Sir Francis joins them, and there are more congratulations and a great deal of noise and exoitemont, and Mrs. Bradshaw Woollffe and her party leave the stand and go down to the pretty racecourse, and Lauraine pees Keith by the sido of Miss Anastasia J, Jefferson, and wonders is sho dreaming���is all this real ? For hor the gay scene is altogether dull and wearisome. Turn where she will, look where she may, she only sees that haggard young face, only hears the shrill, ringing laugh of the pretty Amerioan, whom every one calls " Dresden China," and who looks like a dainty little Watteau shepherdess in her flowered silk costume and big hat, and pied up sunny curb. Long before the close of that day tho news is on every tongue, The young millionaire is going to marry " Dresden China," and Lady Jean looks maliciously at Lauraine, and laughs and noils Iier head mysteriously, saying she'll believe it when she sees it. " Too sudden to be much good," she says, as they discuss the event that evening at dinner. "Though she's been spoons ou him for ever so long." "She's awfully pretty," remarks Sir Francis. "Why shouldn't he care for her?" "No reason why he shouldn't. I only say he doesn't," answers Lady Jean. "So much the better," says an attache to the Austrian Legation, who makes one of the party. " Love matches are a mistake. Never yet knew oue turn out well. " Poor Keith," says Lady Jane. " Fancy tied to those dreadful people. Her lather sold rum and molasses, didn't lie, in New to prefer any other woman tome. Onse console toujour!, mon ami, Vou Jo it one way, Liuraine another, I another. But I suppose we each have our own views on the subject of the consolation, or���consoler I" And sho laughs again : soft, amused, pleasant laughter, that seems to bold no malice, to be the outspring of no evil thought. And al! ihe time her heart is full of both. For, as virtue shames vice, and purity shows up the grosser contrast of immorality, so she feels ashamed and rebuked by the words and presence of Lauraine. "If ever two people loved, they love," she had said tn herself that past season ; and now it had all come to nothing, There was no hold over Lauraine, no petite histoire, nothing to smile and sneer a-. " If she hid only compromised herself ever so littlo," she thinks to-night as she looks at the lovely calm face, the grave dark eyes. " And now the projected marriage. It is awfully queer. If she had been like other women ' (TO BE CONTINUED.) at last. "Quosi I've got heaps of shopping | Orleans ; and she says 'guess,' and 'spry, to do this morning, and Nan will he that [and 'cunning.' And then���the aunt " cross for keeping her waiting! Good-bye my dear; good-bye. Hop,, I haven't Liro-I you. Four o'clock then." The door closes; Lauraine is alone. She sinks wearily back in her chair. Thc silks and canvas fall unheeded lo the lloor. She is afraid ef this new pain lhat has como to 'I don't think their colloquisms arc worse than our slung," a��ys Lauraine, coldly.

The Orange J udd Farmer knows of but two good ways to crea-u milk, one by deep set- ling in cold water, the other by using a separator. A writer in a so-called Agricultural paper published in Chicago, a paper with no dairy editor ar.d therefore apt to do great harm hy recommending wrong methods of dairying, lightly brushes aside these two approved methods and lauds a third. He says the butter made by submerged deep setting " lacks deli acy of flavor and is readily detected." As for the separators, he says " they not oniy require nice adjustment and mechanical ability to operate, but money to buy them." And so he praises his methods, " which is fast coming iuto nse whatever it is known, is very simple and inexpensive, a saving of time and labor, and very easily demonstrated, as it can bo tried without; expense by anyone who has the milk and the can." This is all lovely to road until vie note tho method. Hero it is: "The milk warm from the cow is strained' into a can until it is half filled, then the oan is filled up with cold spring or well water, whicli aerates tho mill; and immediately reduces its temperaturo to about 70 �� even in the warmest of weather. All the cream will separate and rise to the surface in less than four hours. The combined milk and water is drawn by a faucet from tho bottom of the can till tho cream appears, which is then drawn into a separate vessel. As tho cream is separated in less than four hours, the can or cans used for the morning's milk are ready to be used for the night's milk. All that need go into the house is the cream, thus lightening the labor there. The diluted skim-milk is fed to the pigs, the butter fat extracted from it being replaced by the cheaper fat in corn- I meal in such proportions as are needed to feed the growinj or fattening stock. No time is lost���no labor hy the dilution process. As soon as the milk is mixed with water the separation is going on naturally while the farmer isattending to other duties. In four hours, or even less, the cream can be taken. This quick, inexpensive process, requiring no ice, even in the warmest weather, enables the farmer to convert his cream Into Ir.uier at home without the expense of carrying or having it carried to the creamery. It also enables farmers supplying the markets to maintain a fair price for their milk. They can minufactiire it into butter for a time and reduce the quantity oi milk sent to the market until it will command a fair price. The farmers can control the price of milk if they wish, instead of the contractors dictating what they shall take." Our comment on thc aboveis . sufficient, It is all bosh. Undor special circumstances it may he advisable to dilute ths milk ofa "stripper" which gives milk so glutinous that it cannot be creamed by setting entire, but as a practice milk dilution is nonsense. It is not a new method just coming iulo use. It has been recommended repeatedly by cranks and repeat- edlyexploded !>y Experiment Stations. It hurts the milk for feeding purposes and it wastes butter fat. ever is," responds Lady Jean. " All the <��� ���-. me mght to prepare for thc worst."

When the typhoid epidemic was at i'3 height, when case3 were being reported daily and everybody expected that there would be many deaths from the disease,one local flower firm decided to makea speculation on death. It was figured out that there would be an unusual number of deaths and that this would cause a demand for an unusual number of floral pieces. In the manufacture oi floral pieces moss is an absolute necessity, and the peculiar kind that is used imes from Oregon and Washington. The firm in question thought to make a speculation by ordering a quantity of this moss -��� "iy and running a corner in it. The moat ins arrived and has beon placed in storage, But out of all the eases of typhoid [ever tho deaths have numbered less than twenty-five, nnd there is one firm that has moss enough on hand for several years.��� *San Fr in isco Examiner, Duty- The camp Dro dimly burns 1 . iug ��� 0 night, nnd tlio .snow, -������:-i oarth 1 -.-.

Only those com.uanding corps and divisions have posts from which to survey a battle-field while the lighl is on. If the fighting is furious all along the lines even the general in command may not be able lo take in over half a mile in front. Ono ray hare been in a dozen battles without witnessing more than the maneuvers of a brigade. Battles usually end in withdrawal and pursuit. Iu either case nearly all the troops on both sides are set in motion, and so men who have been fighting all day march away anil see only tho dead and wounded in their front. But very few wounded are brought in by night, and the dead can wait for tiie sun to rise. To move about on the field at niglit is to take your life in your hand. There are ghouls robbing the dead who will fire upon you, and there ore wounded men who will treat you as a toe. There are riderless horses galloping about, while others, maddened with the pain of wounds will rush at you open-mouthed from tho darkness. It is when morning comes again that those left behind to bring in thc wounded, bury the dead, and collect, the equipments scattered over miles of ground perhaps, can see and fully realize how fierce and deadly the lighting was. The dead are not all on tho battle lines. Hero >vherc the reserves wero posted, a mile in the rear,are the first of them. They have been killed by solid shot or bursting shells. They are lying in heaps and iu nearly every case the face is covered by poncho or blanket. Down this front of a mile in length we find a dead man here and there as wo advance, sometimes two or three together, but there are no wounded. They were removed under fire. Half a mile in the roar of the battle line we come upou the tirst of the men killed hy musket fire. They wero not really under lire, hut acting as supports, and yet the ranks lost heavily, POSITION OF TIIK HOMES. It is curious to note the positions of the dead where the bodies havo not been inter feredwith. Nineoutof ten are lying broad on tlieir backs with arms outstretched. Tlieir feet- are pointed all around the compass, but more of them lio with their heads to the cast than in any othcr direction. The men shot in the head are lying at full lougth those below the neck have 0110 leg drawn up and thoir lingers are clenched. Thero is not on any face what you call a look of pain or anguish and neither do you find smiles or placidity. Look into tlio faces of 10(1 men killed in bittb ami you will find the same general expression, whether old or young. It is a look of surprise and fear. This look rests on the faces of men killed in their tracks, as it were. The mortally wounded man may turn on his aide to die, and you may find him with n smile ou liis face. He has had time to breathe a prayer; to think of wife and children and homo ; to realize that his time haa come. The battle line runa across a highway, over an old cotton field, across a meadow, and into the woods. The men nude breastworks of rails and dirt. Al one spot lliey had the cover of a stone wall, at another the banks ofa winding crock. Here was where a brigade without tho slightest cover rushed in to bold a gap in the line. The dead and wounded lie just as they fell���live dead to one wounded. The enemy used grape and canister from a battery planted on that ridge, and the missiles did terrible execution. Hence along the breastwork the troops wcre lying down and liro I from that position. Nearly eveiy deal mini slid rests at full length ou his stomach, though their faces seem halt buried in tho grass. Many of the muskets still rest across the breastworks. Here for .'I'll) feet we cannot find a wounded man. Most of the dead wero struck in the face or throat, With his back to the wall sits a dead man who probably lived an hour or two aftei- he was hit. His knees are drawn up for a rest for his arms, and his head is thus supported. Next on his left is a captain lying on his back with his outstretched right arm still holding the sword, and that sword rests across the body of another dead man. Tiie ollicer was struck fairly between the eyes by the bullet. His lips aro parted as if shouting a command when death came. We hesitate for a moment and then step over the breastworks and advance to tho creek, At this spot it was midway between the combatants. Niglit before last friend and foe filled their canteens here, sometimes elbow to elbow, but purposely ignoring each other's presence. Here is the horror of tho battle field. We knew it would be so, but wero impelled to come. RIVERS OF BLOOD. The banks of the creek are nowhere less than two feel high ; in some places lhey are five or six. The head of the stream is six or eight feet wide, hut the flow ol the water only half that, and from six inches to a foot deep. On a front of half a milo all the wounded on both sides who could creep or pull themselves along inch by inch made for this creek as the fighting ceased. They reached the hanks and flung themselves down. They filled the bed. from bank to bank, lying threo, four or live deep. Here and there may be a living man,but nineteen out of twenty perished last night. They fought each other for the water, but only the tirst oomors quenched tlieir thirst. Before they could move away they were caught ill the crush. It is 11 great trench, with ils dead ready for the dirt to hide them, and Ihe waters of the creek have been dammed hiuk until thoy aro seeking a new outlet through the cotton field. Help arrives and we walk slowly along the bank to look for wounded mon. Wo find and extricate about twenty, none of whom will, perhaps, livo the day out. All others aro dead- shot, crushed, drowned���almost 1,111)0 by lho 1 el urns of thn burial parly. It is almost night beforo the creek flows on in its old bed again, bul even our thirsty horses will nol drink of tho waters running red, They sniff at iI and turn away with wild eyes and suorls of alarm. JUU 111 U 11UJ UUI1. A Story ot insi'imiriiri on nn Ocean Liner. The steerage of an ocean liner can uevor be made quite so comfortable as homo. " But," said live respectable yonng Englishmen in substance to the Kev. Mr. Renaiid, immigration chaplain at Montreal, " we draw the line at drinking bilge water, aud eating rotten herrings." These young men told a distressing story of hardship endured upon a certain transatlantic steamer, upon which tbey came out as steerage passengers. The tea was made of bilge water. There was neither sugar nor milk. They were told that their berths would be on the cabin deck. They were put in the hold, upon a lot of frowsy shavings, to herd for fourteen days with foreigners who never washed themselves, who ate rotten herrings with tlieir fingers, and slept with them under their pillows; who made private conveniences ot their bunks, which caused an insupportable stonch for a fortnight. These five men took oil their clothes for the first time last night a nee they left England. "Andwhy'didyou'coineont by this line?" asked tho Rev, Mr. Renaud. The answer was���first, because it was cheap ; second, because the agent promised belter treatment than tbe Knglish lines, as this boat carried ouly steerage passengers, who would thus he waited upon better than if there were three sets of passengers; third, because they were solemnly promised thatthe moment they landed the agont would have situations for them. " And is it possible that people in England believed these lies ?" Mr. Renaud asked. " Everybody believes it," was the answer. "But there waa no agent to obtain us employment, and we can't find it at our trade by lhe most diligent searching." " Thia is one of the greatest cruelties of the immigration business," was the comment of i\lr. Renaud. "These agents go up and down tho country lying to the people right and left. They promise them everything and thoy make not the slightest effort to procure thom anything. It is a thousand pities that no way could be found of reaching and punishing them. Of course, it is au old story with us, but it is too bad that it oould not be generally known in the Old Country that no reliance could be placed in the stories of the agents. Canada is a good country, and no doubt these respectable young men will bo all right in a short time, although it is laborers rather than artisans we want; but it is too bad that they should have been deceived," " And about this immigration business generally,"continued Mr. Renaud; "I find that we have to make the closest scrutiny into the characters of some who come out. 1 refer more particularly to young girls who find their way into our homes, and have a good deal to do with the bringing up of our boys and girls. Ou the whole, they are fairly respectable this season, but thoro are black sheep amongst thom. The societies on the other side, no matter what inquiries they make, aro now and then deceived. No complaint could be made about a person who, having committed a wrong, was sorry for the wrong, and came out determined to do better. Not at all. Such persons deserve evory encouragement. But then, when not only has the life heen wrong in England, but continues to be wrong here what are you to do ? There wcre some cases not long ago where sevsral young girls, apparently good, got nice situations in town. They had an excellent chance with some of our best ladies, but it was found that they were pursuing bad courses. 1 had to investigate two of the oases, ami found a state of things which oould hardly be credited. In England it was bad. Hero it was worse. Oneof them promised earnestly 10 amend and begged for a chance, which wiib given her. but the other I sent right home again. We do not want such people in our families, I do not blame the societies on the othcr side so much as the persons who, in the first instance, recommend such persons to the societies." Substitute for Glass- Famine and Cannibalism. News received from Hong Kong states that a famine is racing in the Chinese previa jo of Shanai.

Throe attempts have been mads tc liro the Italian Catholic Mission, and tho feeling against foreigners is very hitler. Photography on marble has bcen accom- llished by a Londor "*���''"' The substitute for glass, brought to notice some time ago by a manufacturer in Vienna, Austria, observes a writer in the New York Hun, is pronounced a practical thing, likely to be introduced as valuable for certain purposes. The article is produced hy dissolving from four to eight parts of collodion wool in aboul 100parts by weight of ether or alcohol or acetic ether, and with this are intimately combined from 2 to 4 per cent, of castoroil and 4 to 10 per cent, of resin or Canadian balsam. This compound when poured upon a glass plato and subjected to the drying action of a current of air about 50 per cent, solidifies in a comparatively short time intoatranspwentglaiBa- liko sheet or plate, the thickness of wllitil may be regulated as required. Tho sheet or plate so obtained has substantially the same properties as glass, resisting the action of salts and alkalies, and of dilute acids, and, like glass, is transparent and has no smell. Again, it is said to be pliable or flexible and infrangible to a great degree, while its inflammability Is muoh less than that of the collodion substitutes. Any desired color may bo imparted to the compound hy admixture of the necessary pigment, the latter to be soluble in the solvent used in the preparation of the compound if incorporated therewith ; but color may bo imparted by surfaco application, aiiniline dyes being employed, and thus the sheets may ba used in lieu of stained glass. Antiquity of Hot-Air Wast- Ii a recent theory be correct the hot-air blast for iron furnaces, patented by Kiel- son Iu 1828, was known in Southern Palestine 1-100 years boforo Christ. In the Tol ol ltesy mounds have been found the remains of eight successive towns of dates from 1500to50OB, C. The most important object attained from the mound is a cuneiform tablet, tho first record of pro-Israelit- ish Canaan yet yielded up by tho soil of Palestine ; but another discovery of great intcroat ia an iron blast furnace, whose arrangement is believed by Mr. Bliss to indicate a design to heat the blast of outside air before introduction. This may bo another exemplification of the adage, "there is nothing new undor the sun."���[Invention. Ancomarca, Peru, is 10,001 feet above the sea, and tho highest inhabited spot in thc world, Thn value of a principle is in the number of things it will explain ; and there is no good theory of a disease which does uot at once suggest a cur.a, Kingworm- Ringworm is a contagious disease of a parasitical nature, produced by the growth in tho skin of a vegetable fungus. Its beginning and progress remind one of the spread of fire in prairie grass. From a point it spreads outward in a mire or less regular ring of reddish inflammation, subsiding in the centre as il spreads outward, as if the material necessary for its continuance at a single spot were soon exhausted. It attacks all parts of the body, but is most commonly found on the face, the back of the hands and tnescalp. Children contract il oftener than adults, probably because their skin is more tender, and because peculiar opportunity is afforded for direct contact of the person In schools and other places where children congregate. The disease is commonly spread by means of caps and other articles of clothing, and by combs. When it attacks the scalp the hairs become dry, brittle and twisted, and fall out. The ends next the skin look rough, as though bitten or gnawed off. Since ringworm is parasitical in its origin, it might be supposed thsl measures of simple cleanliness would remove it or prevent its occurrence ; but while suoh measures hinder its spread to some extent, ita thorough removal is ell'ooted only by remedies aimed ai tbo destruction of the parasite. This is a much more serious task than :t would be if tho growth of tho fungus took place directly npou the surface ot the skin. It is therefore important that the treatment should he exactly fitted lo the peculiarities o; the particular cose, Il is the more important that professional advice should be sought, because thc occurrence of ring worm is often associated with a degree of systemic debility or insufficient nutrition, Somo of the most rapid and permanent recoveries from this troublesome disease are obtained when, in addition to proper medical treatment, the patient is sent away from home for a time though the distance ho but slight. A writer in a recent medical review says that when ringworm appears In a school, rigid measures should be taken to prevent its spread, as lhe disease, though apparently easily cured, is apt to recur, ami if neglected, to become more or less chronic. Common Poods and Disease- Writing of hospital experiences during the war, Samuel R. Elliot says in the New England Magazine: Having absolute control of my hospital, I very soon instituted a series oi experiments, V, a speedily found that patients in hospitals and all persons leading a sedentary life must avoid too concentrated food, content themselves witli less variety ; and drink abundantly of dilutent fluids; that coffee acted upon the liver and was altogether the besl remedy for constipation and what was called a bilious condition ; that tea usually acted in precisely the opposite direction, namely, as an a stringent ; that hot poppies nor mandragors nor all the drowsy syrups of the East could bring ihe peace to a sufferer from a malarial chill lhat would come of strong coffee, with a little lemon juice added ; that strong tea was almost a specific for neuralgia in its simple uncomplicated form ; while turnips were found to he almost a specific in the simpler types ol rheumatism common to young men, where the only predisposing cause was exposure to the elements. It booh became apparent that the milder types of intermittent fever disappeared during the tomato season ; whereas certain langours and pains, having their origin in the de-nitrogenizing viscera, were relieved and abated by tbe free use ot asparagus. Having read that many years before the soldiers of the United .States army, in some remote cantonment, had been fed on bread from unbolted Hour, and the increased health and efficiency of that detachment having attracted a great deal of attention and given a boon to the then famous Grahini movement in dietetics, that too was tried, with, in tho main, satisfactory results. With the milk diet for worn and exhausted patients we had such a signal success that, whenever practicable, it wiu adopted for many forma of indigestion and inal-nu- trition, some of my patients declaring that they had not felt so well since they wcre weaned. Dandruff Dandruff is simply a dry catarrh of the scalp. It is a condition in which the cells ofthe skin arc thrown oil'too profusely. The skin is composed of three layers,���the true e,kin, that noxt to the muscles ; the pigment layer; and the dead cells, or scarf skin, on the outside, With a sharp knife you can scrape off the outer layer, in the form of little white scales. It may not be generally known that man is au animal with scales' liko a lish, but if you will examine this white scurf with the microscope, you will find that it is composed of scales similar to thoso of a fish. And these extend all over the body. When ono takes a turkish bath, these scales aro softened up, and aro rubbed off in tho shampoo, so that, to a certain extent lhe person is skinned. Theso scales are rubbed off by the clothing, and come in contact with other bodies. This procsss is going on all the time, and those parts of the body which aro most exposed and have the most attrition with external bodies, are kepi the moat thoroughly cleansed and free from this condition of dandruff'. Vou will never find scales in the palm of tiie hand, becauso frequent contact with various objects keeps tho dead scales rubbed off, und tbo palm free. But un the head, where the hair prevents this exposure of the skin directly iu contact with outside bodies, theso scales are retained in great numbers. Especially is this so when tho head is covered much ofthe timo by a hat or bonnet, 'lhc scales are thrown off, but they are held about the roots of thc hair, aiidin this way one may have an accuinlatiouof dandruff even when the skin is healthy. In ibis caso, the remedy con- ��istB iu brushing the scalp thoroughly and frequently. Most people make the mistake of brushing the hair ; it is not the hair thai needs to be brushedi but tho scalp. This is vory important for the health of the scalp. Vmi will notice that the good barber nuts aside tho hair with his linger, and follows bis linger with the brush, until ho has brushed the entire scalp in this way. By tills means tho scalp is thoroughly cleaned. The scalp should be brushed iu Ihis way al least throe or four times a week, in ordor to keep it froo from dandruff, or from those off. A neglect to remove these scales trim the body produces a very unhealthy and disagreeable state of things, in other parts of the body l!nn the scalp. It sometimes causes itching of the arms and legs, particularly about the knees and shins, where the scales have a tendency to ���cumulate, if one does not bathe frequently. Ei ery hair on the body grows from a little pocket in the skin ; and when these little scales are not promptly removed,they get over these pickets, and then the hair, in attempting to grow, is forced to lift the scalp up. This is wiiat causes the itching tha'is so disagree ible. Equal parts of alcohol and castor oil, applied after a thorough shampoo with good soap and water, is the best remedy for dandruff. Field Notes- Ventilate the vegetable cellar at night so it will be cooled by the night air aud keep it closed during the day. Cellars need ventilation and ohouid be kept aa cool aa possible. Dig potatoes as soon a the vines have died and store them in a cool cellar or elsewhere until the air grows cooler outside this Autuniu, when they are best takeu oul and buried. Do not risk having grain stand in the shock too long. Tnere are a number oj small wastes which constantly go on and which will, in a short time, aggregate more than the cost of stacking. Growth of plants is directly proportionate to thc supply of nutriment furnished them. Do not neglect to haul out all of the manure which has accumulated. It wil! help next year's crops. Many weeds will be destroyed before they have matured seed if mowed now. Clean them out of all waste places, such as old stack yards, orchards, along road sides,etc. It will save future trouble. Plow as much stubble land as possible in Autumn. It is well to begin it as soon as harvest is past and the ground is wet enough. It will help along the work for next Spring, and will keep many weeds from ripening seed. Give clover a prominent place in systems of rotation. It adds much of fertility to the soil and is especially valuable as a food for stock either as hay or pasture. It has the peculiar property of gathering nitrogen from the air. A good cistern with a proper filter is a great convenience on the farm. It furnishes good soft -ater for laundry and toilet uses, and is pure and healthful to drink also. Where it is difficult to obtain water for stock, a large cistern at the barn may help in solving the water problem. Work on country roads will soon begin. Let us remember the good resolutions made during the past Winter, lay out practical methods of improving the roads under the varied conditions, and work them out. Now is the time to show you are in earnest about the matter. If ragweeds are growing in pastures in great profusion as is so common in many sections, they can be mowed at this time to good advantage. They will not be nearly so plentiful the following year, and if the mowing is repeated a few seasons it will practically exterminate them. Awkward Bequest to the Sultan- A Brussels correspondent states that the text translated from the Arabic of a petition submitted by the Mohommedan functionaries in Egypt to the Sultan on the occasion of the visit of the Khedive to Con. stantinople, in favour of British evacuation, is published. Tbe petition, after eulogising the Sultan, continues as follows;���" And now, 0, Caliph ! we approach you humbly in submitting that the foreigners have oome into our country under fallacious pretexts and with periodically reiterated promises to quit; but they persist in encumbering us with their presence, they are the causo of all tho great trouble, and are the motives of all the great disturbances in every part of the Empire. We supplicate you to deliver our native country, which has deteriorated into a dead world for us, and which might be revived by you.- august intervention, in order that the power and glory which has been bequeathed by the great Sultan Selim maybe maintained. 0, Caliph ! this is tlie sod of Egypt, this is the sacred sun which is tho joy of thy crown, the gate to Mecca and Medina, and we, thy people, turn in tears towards the Khedive, who is your representative, to whom we do homage, We iook to you for your favour, at all times willing to obey your orders. Liberate us at once und finally from the merciless trials lhat the foreigners have scattered among us," Financial Striatrenoy- The tramp met tlio business man on tho street. "Pardon mo a moment," he said, bowing. The business man was for going ahead. " Pardon me,'' repeated tbo tramp, "but I understand there is a financial stringency permeating commercial circles." "Yoi, there is," said the business m an, surprised at this form of appeal. " I had heard so," laid the tramp, " but I disbelieved it, for I havo been told that story many, many times in my experience. '' " Well, its true now, whether you believe it or not," remarked the business man, and I haven't a blame cent for you." " I hen your pardon," bowed the tramp, "Ibelieve what you tell me implicitly, and, to show you I do, and that 1 do not want your money, I shall greatly accept your order on the saloon you patronize for one or two glasses of beer." The business man was stumped. " Hero" ho sail, "take this dime and get out ofthe way." Aged Prisoners- In the Indian jails a large proportion of the prisoners arc very old men. hi the prison at Mooltan there wcre last year 17 life prisoners whose total ages were found to amount to more than H'-n years���two of them being patriarch? of upwards of 8(1. This fact is attributed partly to the great improvements in the economy of Indian jails, since ihe exposure of their mismanagement some years ago, hut more directly to the prevalent practice when a crime has boon committed of handing over the loast useful menib'i oi the family as a sort of vivacious offering to justice.

Defects of Nature in the Noble Animals are Concealed, as in Women, and by Much the Same Methods- Lame Horses Mailc "Sound" and 01.1 Timers nilli llie Spavin Itenilrrril Ser- vlcenblc���The "ItoclicrShoc" for Foil nil- ried Animals-liow lo Inspire n llortc with Liveliness. Although, writes H. D, Gill, the celebrated Veterinary Surgeon, according to the dis- tionary, one oi the definitions of a jockey is " a man who rides a horse race," there are other definitions which describe a jockey as "a cheat; oue who deceives or takes undue advantage in trade." Other definitions of the word are " to cheat; to trick; to jostle by riding against." All horse dealers are not absolutely dishonest, but there is certainly a very large proportion of men whose business is to sell horses, or to make money out of them in races, who do engage in very questionable practices in order to advance their Interests. The ethical philosophy of the horse-trader may be summed up in the saying, "your eyes are your cheat,'' meaning tint you musl use your own judgment in a "horse deal" and not believe everything he tells you. Horses are " doctored up" not only for the purposes of sale, but for racing put-poses, not always, or very often lor thc better class of races, but for the hundreds ot competitions that take phiceat stale and county fairs and on private racing grounds in the rural districts. These remarks 1 shall make, therefore, about remedying the defects of horses will apply not only to horse dealers engaged in selling and trading horses, but to the jockeys of the turf ; because it is often the case that a very poor animal, of good stock, can with the assistance of artificial methods win or lose a race. He may die half an hour after the contest but if lie comes in a winner liis owner will be satisfied. If a horse has a chronic lameness in either foot the jockey can inject into the foot a solution of cocaine whioh, for the time being, will render the horse sound ; that is, it will dull the sensibility to pain for from half an hour to an hour ami a half and the horse will act as it he was sound. Another method in a case liko this is to sever the nerves of the foot, there being two nerves, one on cach side of the foot. This deprives the lower part of the limb of all sensation and the horse will go sound for perhaps a year when the nerves will form together again. Foundered horses are made sound by nerving them in the manner just described, and keeping them in a soaking tub or mud- box. By this method the inllainnution is allayed for a day. In railroad car stables they have a series of mud-stalls for foundered and sore-footed horses and in whicli twenty can stand at a time. One day lliey work them and the next day they put them in this box. If lhe animals were worked two consecutive days they would lie so sore footed from traveling over the stones that they would be unfit for use. Such horses are generally shod with as heavy a shoe as they can possibly carry, because the heavier the iron the lighter the concussion of lho foot ou the ground. It is on the same principle as if I put a sheet-iron on your knee; a good blow would break your kneo, but ii 1 put an anvil on your knee aud hit a heavy blow on that it wonld not hurt you. For tound- crcd horses that come down with the heel first they uso a rock-shoe, having a roller motion, so that when the heel strikes the foot will roll instead of striking the pavement abruptly. There is no such thing as chest pounder. The trouble commonly called by that name is due to the wasting away of the muscles, on account of atrophy or insufficient use of the limb, caused by lameness in the foot, At horse sales and races before the animal is brouehl out ho is made to appear "lively." Before he is taken from the stable a man, having saturated his finger with turpentine or capsicum, will insert it at the lower extremity of the elimenlary canal. This will have the effect of making the horse carry his tail in very line shape. It makes him "lively" simply on account of the pain lhe agent causes. If a horse has a spavin before lie is brought out he is jostled about for a while. If a horse is troubled wiih spavin the first few steps or movements ho makes are very lame and labored, but when be is onco in action be becomes gradually better. Anyone may be always suspicious of a horse if a man cracks a whip over him and makes him "dance around" iu the stall. This is done for the purpose of limbering the horse up, especially if he has a spavin. The leopard may not bo ablo to chango his spots, but a good jockey can take an animal and make Iiim a horso of another color. He will use nitrate of silver (peroxide of hydrogen) to bleach different parts of the body so as to make a team match. Suppose you have a team of sorrels, one had a silver tail and mane and the othcr had not, The jockey would blench tho tail and mane of the latter. If a star was wanted in the forehead he could putil there or ptoduoe for yon a white nose, one or more white legs, bleaching thcni so as to mnko them match. If a horse's tail is nol big enough or symmetrical he can switcli in some false tail just as the ladies do with their hair. A horse will show his age by the hollow- ness over his eyes. In such a case the jockey will introduce a liltle tube and, by blowing ill air, will cause tho hollows to pull' up, und if tho chest or shoulder of a horse is utrophled���what is known as swecney of the shoulder���he will introduce a little tubo and blow up the skin. This condition in a horse can always ho delected by pulling tho skin whicli will crackle under the touch ; it will not have the solid feeling of Ilesh. In regard to teeth young horses, naturally, havo what ia known as " cups," excavations, marked black, which disappear when they becomeoldor.heingwornoff. The jockey, to inisleadthoso whoaro interested in horses, willnrtificiallyexcavatoorcutoutlliosiirfcao of tho teolh and blacken them with nitrate of silver. This can always be stitched in a "bishoped mouth," as il is called, by lhe absence of the ring of ciininol around this black cup, it boing always present in young horses. The shape of a horse's tooth from youth to line ure oval, then triangular, then flattened on the sides; the latter being the shape of the tooth itself. Tlio root is very narrow and as the tooth wears off, it assumes thai shape, But there ,iru horse jockey tricks especially oonneoted with the races, Iii a running race suppose a trainer wantB his horse to gooii jockey and, just betore the annual goes to the post, he will give him a pailful of water. This of course, causes the horse, before he goes veiy far, to feel troubled about his wind and, iu jockey parlance, he is called "a deal horse." The jockey is not supposed to know anything about this proceeding. A pail of water, or some anodyne like opium will be sufficient to make a horse " iogey" and lazy and cause him to lose a race which he would otherwise win. Sometimes a pebble or a nail will be put under a horse's shoe to cause him to go lame so that the owner can s:ratch him. Of course the stewards of a racing club do not allow a horse to be scratched unless there is a very good excuse. But if an owner docs not want his horse to run he can put some foreign body under the shoe, or tie a utriiig around the ankle pretty tight,which causes the leg to swell, and the horse to be lame the next morning. An injection of hydro-chlorate of cocaine is often put iuto horse-; to make them run faster and undoubtedly it does have that effect. This is lbe same medicine, the leaves of which Weston, the pedestrian, used to chew when he ma.de his long journeys. To show the efficiency of this trick .' will say that tho preparation was once introduced into a horse called "Spartacus." He was a very well-bred animal but wind- broken. A half a dram of this solution was introducedhyberdeimically. A strong man was put on the horse's back with orders to jog him until the half mile posl and then let him go for a mile. The horse went along easily for the first half mile then took the bit and ran steadily for five miles, the jockey bcingobligcd, fromsheerexhaustiou, to fall off. The horse was finally stopped hy a row of men .standing across the track. The effect of this injection generally lasts for about half an hour. It is used a great deal. At the horse-killing establishment on Long Island, I once experimented with this medicine. A number of old horses were brought in and two of them dropped from sheer exhaustion half a mile from the establishment. They could not make the animals move. We gave each of them an injection of cocaine, and, in five minutes, they got on their feet and not only appeared strong bul actually ran and appeared very lively. This illustrates the stimulating effect of the drug. Electricity is also used to increase a horse's speed. A jockey will carry a battery attached to a belt around his body, the conductors passing to the spurs on each foot. The application of the spurs to the side of the animal completes the circuit and transmits to the horse's body the electrical impulse and induces the animal to greater speed. Several jockeys have been discovered using this appliance. Running horses are nerved for lameness in tlie foot. They are troubled with joint and tendon troubles, particularly the ligaments and tendons of the front limbs. "Breaking down" on the race track is a rupture of the suspensory ligament of either one or both the front feet. In riding a race the jockeys will jostle one another and cut one another down. A jockey will try to throw his companion over the fence by putting his foot under the foot of the other jockey and lifting him off the saddle. They will foul one another by running ir regularly across in front. When they think a jockey is going to hurl them, if the jockey uses his whip in his right hand, another will come up so close to bim as to make it impossible for him to strike tho horse with thc whip. One or two jockeys in a race will also combine to defeat another hy what is called placing him " in a pocket," i.e. keeping him behind and giving him no chance to get through. Because to do so he would be obliged to go around the horses, which would, very often, throw the norse off his stride, which the horse would be unable to catch again until he had covered considerable ground, It is very common for jockeys to make fake starts. They will purposely make a number of those to tire out their adversaries. There are generally some hard-mouthed horses in a race and during these false starts they run away for a quarter or half a mile; becomo tired and thereby reduce their chance of winning. Jockeys always try to get the advantage of one another iu the start. It often occurs that a starter is- obliged to fine every jockey in the race, particularly the short distance race where a good start is an important factor.

Standi Accused, A Trenton, N. .1., special says :���The spectacle of a gray-haired woman on trial for her life is presented in the old Mercer County Court House in tins city. The prisoner is Mrs. Martha C. Siiann of Princeton, the mother of a family oi grown children, all of whom are showing li.ial affection for her iu the terrible ordeal through which she is passing. The accusation against lur is that she has poisoned her tffenty-year-old son, John F. Shann, in order '.o get a litlle over $2,100, the amount of three insurance policies ou his life. According to the Slate's allegation, she procured '.he boy's death by the administration o; bichloride of mercury, giving it to him in his drink and food in such a manner as to rob him of his strength gradually, and to deceive all about him touching the nature of his illness. The youth died on April 18 last. Mrs. Shann's husband died last November under circumstances that were considered peculiar and this second death in the family set all the tongues of rumor going in Princeton. The boy would, nevertheless, have been quietly buried, had nol lhe shocking an- j noiincement come two days after his ueaih that he had been disembowelled by persons unknown. This had the effect of stirring lho local authorities into action, and the result of au investigation and a coroner's inquest was thc arrest of the the boy's mother on the charge of murder. The Irial began to-day. When the examination of witnesses began, Reuben Van Seliiiis, a boarder at Mrs. Shann's, told of Frank Borden, a life insurance agent sending a note to Mrs. Shann on tho night her son died, which apparently gave her the impression his insurance company was going to make an investigation of his death. About !i o'clock the next morning Mrs. Shann aroused tho witness and informed him that three men had been iu the house and had gone away. They had been up stairs in John's room, she declared, ami she was afraid "they had done something." He went up stairs with Mrs. Shann into the room where the corpse lay, and saw that a covering which bad been arranged ever the body was stained with blood. There were no other blood stains visible. The witness expressed the belief that "something had been done," and went back to bed. Mrs. Shann had live beanie*-* be- siJes him, and he thought they were 11 at home that night. Mabel Shann was now called to the slaud. Sh; said she slept with her mother the ni^ht that her brother's remains were violated. She had nol heard her mother rise. Tin movements of her mother and Van Salons hat roused her. She called out, " What ia tin matter!' and her mother replied, "Nothing, be quiet." She called out. again, " Mamma, what is the matter':" and her mother entering the room, and, sea ting herself upon the bed, told her this story : That three men had come to the ho..se and rung lhe bell. She had admitted them. They wore long overcoats with the collaiB turned up. Tbey had ou storm hats; and inquired if she had a corpse in the bouse. She told the men her son was dead, and they demanded to be shown to the corpse, bhe objected, saying the hour was late. Two of the men pushed her aside and ascended lhe stairs. She tried to follow th men upstairs, but the third man prevented her. When they went away, her mother said, she kucw they had done something to .Johu. Mabel testified further that she and hei mother had nursed dohn, both administer- medicine lo him. He was sick about six weeks. When the witness testified at the Coroner's inquest that her mother alono had nursed bim she was mistaken. Mabel said she had often cooked her blether's food and given it to him personally. She had neither seen or heard anything of the three mysterious men who had come in the dead of the night and disembowelled her brother. Sne only knew what her mother had told her about the affair. The witness was not cross-examined. Tlie last witness of tiie day was J Watson Shann, an undertaker, of Kingston, N. .1. He is Mrs.Shann's ousin. She h\d asked him to take charge of the holy. Although it was decomposing fas', Mrs. Shann would not have the remaini embalmed, It was when he had gone lo the house to perform his final duties that Mr*, Shann had told him tho story of the three men and their doings. He saw tlie blood on the covering over the bo.lv. A Oase for Sympathy. Withcrby���" Vou haven't seen my new- boy, have you ? They say he takes after his father."

A New Substitute for the Potato- A new vegetable is about to be introduced to the people of the United States through lho Department of Agriculture. I: is tho root of the calla lily, which, according to Science Sittings, resembles somewhat in appearance the ordinary Irish tuber, with lhe addition of a few fibrous roots that have nothing to do with the qualities of the article as an esculent, it is more elongated, and when out ths intorlrr is a trifle more viscid. But a section of it is so potato-like, one would not bc likely to distinguish any difference. In cooking, it has tirst to be boiled in order to destroy certain acrid pro. ' perties, after which il may Imi fried, roasted baked, it what not, according tn taste. Farmers in Florida have begun to raise these cilia roots for market. The plants grow so thickly in swamps, and so thickly that lhe yield of a singlo lloodod acre is enormous, Thoy reprodiico themselves by lho multiplication of iheir bulbs under | ground, BO that the grower has simply to dig Up the offshoots and leave lhe parents to propagate anew.

Very litlle so far has been nttompted in this direotiou, bnt in ciipos where trees hnve been planted nnd the necessary attention paid to thorn at first, the experiment has proved most succospful. In this locality nn we nil know, the siinw falls sn deeply before any frost sets in that tbe ground is not frozen and the roots of the trees urn perfectly proteoted, As regards dispos ing of the oropB, the large towns ill in the Northwest would gladly buv all we oould raise, as the prairie soil is not well adapted for fruit growing, being generally too dry, nnd any evstem ot irrigation would prove too costly in mosl places. All fruit in Calgary for instance which is not very far easl, is very ileur.as il is ini purled from San f'ranoisoo anil u lienvv freight expense is liii'uriilly nttnohed to it, Ofeonrseno one can 6xpnol n large crop of penra or apples nr indeed of anything eke for the first year or two; but the amount of fruit actually set and growing on tlm small trees in Ibis town is most sal.is- faotory, showing undoubtedly that as tho trees increase in size, they will become prolific bearers. The particular varieties that will sueeeeil best in this particular place must be a matter of experiment! tbe only way to decide that point quickly is to plant several varieties aud ascertain bv trial which ouo seems to flourish best. Small fruits suoh as strawberries, currants nnd gooseberries will also do' vory well aud command h ready side, but they aro far more trouble iu proportion than the sorts we huvo spoken about, The wonderfully large crop of hazel nuts Ibis year proves that this Foil is not barren, not to mention the countless varieties of berries also in vast quantity! while the marvellous luxuriance of the hop plants ami their healthy appearance seems to poinl ont a by no means slight source pf revenue to the inhabiting of this towu nnd the immediate district.

Don't Fret- In this day ar.il age of progressive ideas, the good housewife who reads can hardly pick up a paper that does not contain one or more little sermons that seem to have been written especially for her, or at least are very applicable to her case. Home preach on neatness, some on economy ; others lay down laws for the health, whicli, if followed by any except the most robust, would result in death in six months ; others still would teach us how to train our children ; our children the rules are for, you understand, not theirs, if they have any. If a woman is inclined to be sensitive, she is overcome with a sense of .her weakness, and completely over-powered with the feeling that sheis not living her life as she should, that in none of these things does she at all apposch the standard of perfection set forth. Now I want to have my say, too, anil will take for my text these two little words: " Don't fret." In the Iirst place, don't fret because you cannot do and be all things in one, For instance, if you find, after trying, that you cannot be a perfect housekeeper, and at the same time a good iiomeniaker, then wake up your mind which you will be before you go any farther. Perhaps you will say there should be no difference, Maybe so, but I assure you there is, as practiced. A perfect specimen of a housewife might have all the good qualities that go lo make the Iiomeniaker, and be a good housekeeper, too, but perfect specimens of any class are rare ; so if you decide that the health and happiness of your loved ones is of more importance than a few specks of dirt, then don't let it fret you when some plain spoken person preaches you a sermon from the text, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." .Next to it, remember, but never ahead of it. And I firmly believe there are people in this world so wedded to their idol, cleanliness, that they run great risks of crowding out godliness entirely. Childless wives who bemoan their loneliness, who yet would give but meager welcome to the child that came endowed with restless hands to aoil or mar the beauty of tlieir surroundings. Mistaken notion ! lror what can outweigh the love of a little child? Few women who pride themselves on being orderly, and who take great pains to inform you of it make pleasant companions on close acquaintance. They cannot carry out all tlieir pet theories, without, making someone uncomfortable. Usually it is their own immediate family that gets the full benefit of their orderliness. It was my misfortune to board with one of these very neat persons one summer. I do not know that she was an exception at all, but she took for her motto, "Order is heaven's first law,'' and she lived up to the very letter of it, until any place was better than home to her whole family, Her good man could smoke his pipe nowhere but in the back kitchen. Iter boy could wear his boots no farther. The sitting-room curtains could not be raised on a sunny day for fear of fading the carpet, nor the door left open for tear of Hies. The parlor was thoroughly cleaned in the spring anil again in the fall, and in the meantime had not been opened to company except on two occasions. I'gh 1 II gives me the blues yet to recall that summer. Take my advice ; be neat in a general way, but do not put it- ahead of every thing else. In short do not follow any " fad" until you estrange all your friends, and don't fret if you fail to attain the perfection you see or think you see in others. It hardly seems reasonable for anyone to set down rules for another to follow. In housework, if anywhere in the world, every one should bc a law.unto herself. For instance what is economy for one is not for another. Some will tell you that it is poor economy to make rag carpets, but my experience is to the contrary. If you have a family of children, the rags are sure to accumulate, and I know of no bettor use they can be put to. Rag carpets are much nicer than j bare floors, for no matter how niecly they may be painted or stained, if there are boys around, Iheir noise on the bare floors will distract a nervous person. Then don't fret if they are getting shabby, and don't take them up until you can replace them. Don't f I Ct because you cannot do as others do. Vou have a perfect right to your own methods, and if you should once Iry to follow out all the ideas advanced by different writers you would certainly Und in the " .Slough of Despond." Do the best you can in your sphere and with your circimsl ances, looking only to Him who has given us our life work for praise or blame, bearing In mind that it kernels, and boil the whole till the peaches ire tender and clear. The fruit is then taken carefully out with long-handled skimmers, placed upon large platters, and set in the sua to become firm. Meanwhile the syrup is boiled and skimmed till it is clear and thick, when the jars are filled three-quarters full of the fruit ami the boil- ing syrup is poured over to lill the receptacles, which are sealed up in the usual manner. Jars that are without covers maybe secured by a cloth with a thick paper tied tightly over. i'each .lam, without Conking.���-Vice freestone peaches are to be pared and cut into ���small pieces, rejecting everything which is not entirely perfect. A stone jar is to be used, the bottom being covered with a layer of granulated sugar, then a layer of the cut-peaches, packing closely and alternating layers of sugar and peaches till the jar is filled, tlie top layer being of sugar. The jar is then covered, and thick paper is carefully pasted over, so as to exclude the air. This preparation will keep perfectly for sev. eral months, it is claimed, and may be used for pies,rolled pudding or sauce. Two factors are imperative, however : there must be no taint of decay in or about any particle of the fruit when it is put up, and the air must be carefully excluded. Peach Marmalade.���The peaches, having been peeled, stoned and weighed, are placed in a porcelain-lined kettle and heated slowly, so as to extract all the juice possible. It is necessary to stir them often from the bottom, and for this use a wooden spoon is best���never use an iron spoon. Increase the heat gradually till the juice conies to a boil, which is allowed to continue for forty-five minutes, stirring frequently during the time. The sugar is then added, allowing twelve ounces for each pound of fruit, and the whole is boiled for five minutes, all of the scum which rises being carefully removed. Then add the juice of a lemon for each three pounds of peaches, and the water iu which a quarter part of the kernels have been treated as described for preserved cut peaches. The whole is then to be stewed for ten minutes more, being stirred meantime till it becomes a smooth paste, when it is taken from the fire and put into jars or tumblers being covered when cold with brandied, paper. In place of the lemon juice, a ripe pineapple may be peeled and out fine into the kettle of peaches at the start, and will give an admirable flavor. pinch of salt and as much sweet cream as the pie-plate will hold.

ROBEilD BY TEAMPS. Two l'oung Hen Carried lo llie U'ooils null "(lone Tbrongh." A Battle Creek special says :������Wednesday afternoon Robert Case' and Joseph Spanker, two young men from .Saginaw, came to this city and were captured near the Chicago ami Grand Trunk railway by tramps and taken to the woods on the batiks ot the Kalamazoo, where they were robbed of their watches and what money lhey had on theii persons. The former lost a gold watch and the latter a silver one. They were on their way to Chicago. They were detained as prisoners in the woods by the tramps until evening, when Case got away from them and notified the officers. There wcre 10 tramps in the gang. This particular piece of woods is the general headquarters for tramps. It is in the vicinity of the Chicago and Grand Trunk yards where all trains start from, and they secrete themselves there until night, when they steal their ride on freight trains. As many as 50 congregate here at one time. A squad of police went up last night and arrested several of the gang. Case ami Spanker could not identify but one of them, a young bootblack from Kalamazoo by the name of John Kavanaugh. The others were discharged and Kavanaugh held for trial. Kavanaugh claims that the fellows who robbed the young men were four thugs from Detroit, who had been to the Sturgis races, and that they held up several men aud robbed them while there. The tramp question is becoming more serious every day.
