RELIGION IND SCIENCE. The United States has 73 papers devoted to science and mechanics. There are in Kansas 299 Presbyterian churches, with 12,044 memtiers. The frict ion of a belt is claimed to be double as much on wood as it is on iron The Baptist churches of Massachusetts rained for all purposes last year $624,594. Galvanized iron will corrode after six or seven years’ exposure to moisture. M. F. Wise, of Ireland, has given SIOO,OOO toward the restoration of the cathedral in Cork. To make paint dry quickly use a large proportion of Japan varnish in mixing for use. Silver is the most perfect reflecting metal, absorbing less than 3 per cent, of the raps of light. If you wish to produce a glue that will resist water, noil one pound of glue in two quarts of skimmed milk. The use of salicylic acid for the preservation of food has been prohibited bv the French government as injurious.

There are in the Canadian provinces ninety-one churches, with fifty-one pastors and 5,635 menr'bers. A thin coat cf varnish applied to straw matting will make it much more durable, and keep the matting fresh and new. The Greek Testament in the ancient tongue is now, by order of the Greek Government, read in its 1,200 schools, which have 80,000 pupils. Iron or steel immersed in a solution of carbonate of potash or soda for a few minutes will not rust for years, not even when exposed to a damp atmosphere. In the Escurlal are preserved 7,422 relics, among which are the entire bodies of twelve saints ami “some tokens of Jesus Christ and His sainted mother’.' During the months of August. September, October. November and De cemoer of last year, nearly 1,500 wonverts to Mormonism have been made in England alone. The Dutch Reformed Church in Yokohama is the finest Christian church building in Japan. The first SI,OOO toward it was contributed by the Sandwich Islands Missionary Society twenty year ago. ’ The following homiletic hint is reported as having come from President Lincoln: “I don’t like to hear cut-and-dried sermons. No, when I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he was fighting bees." The Domestic Missions of the Episcopal Church received last year from all sources more than *220,000. There are thirteen Missionary Bishops in the field, receiving each $3,000, and having under them nearly 400 missionaries, of whom 300 labor among white people, 51 among negroes, and 52among Indians. Tlte Bombay Guardian remarks on the number of single women who are arriving in India to engage in zenana and mission school work. Bv the last mail steamer eight women from America, unattended by men, arrived, and proceeded the same day to Allahabad, where they were to separate, some going to the Northwest, others

to Calcutta. The year book of the Unitarian churches for 1882 gives, as the whole number of churches, 344, seven more than in 1881. The whole number of ministers is 404. Os the list for 1881, fourteen died the past year. Ten were graduates from the two divinity schools; six from Cambridge and four front Meadville. The names of four women are among the list of ministers. An ingenious resident of Pennsylvania has conceived the idea of utilizing what is known as the “pulseglass" for obtaining motive power. A wheel is made up of a number of bulbs each connected to the one opposite by a tube, which forms two spokes of the wheel. The alcohol in the bulbs is vaporized as the wheel revolves, aud rising into the upper bulbs the top part of the wheel is made heavier than the rest, and so it revolves by gravitatio n Hie Sacred College of the Cardinals at Rome, at this moment eonsi-ts of fifty’ nine members, the vacant hats being eleven. No less than seven cardinals have died during the year 1881 —viz: Regnier (Archbishop of Cambray), Kutschker (Archbishop of Vienna', Gil (Archcishop of Saragossa), and Cardinals Borromeo, Moretti, Caterina and Gianneli. Os the existing College, thirty-two are Italians, nine Autsrians and Germans, seven French, three Spanish, three English fviz., Newman. Manning aud Howard) one American, (McCloskey), one Belgian, and one Armenian. An Imperial ordinnnee which would seem to form part of a settled 1 policy on the part of the Turkish Government for the revival of the most retrograde measures against liberty of conscience has been made public in the -ariy part of last month and is mentioned in a recent number of the Pall Mall Gazette According to it the publishers and book sellers whose laxity permits the contamination of the sacred books of Islam, by coming into contact with profane publications.aud even with the works of unbelievers, are to be punished by a fine and imprisonment.

KEEPING WARM. Some Scientific Facts and Princl- ' pies plainly Stated. That sheltering all animals from cold weather, from chilling winds which by their rapid motion carry off s heat more rapidly, is the way to save i food and to save waste of flesh. If by ’ stopping this waste of heat from the 1 surface all the food consumed will * not be wanted to make heat, a portion . of it can go to incieasing the flesh, J that is to producing growth, or , more can be used in making milk, egg-. etc., within the animal. jDvspesjtic persons, those having 1 feeble dig- estion, or a poor appetite, 1 get lees Internal beet from food combustion, and suffer from cold. Such . persons need a warmer atmosphere, a . or warmer dwellings, and warmer ’ clothing to retain the heat that is pro- ‘ dueed. This applies to all animals. Close-fitting garments, garters, lacing, boots shoes, neckties, etc., that prevent free, easy circulation of the blood, each and all diminish the amount at heat production. Rubbing wet horses and other animals dry is very useful, notcmy to save heat, but also to save cold-taxing. For tbe same reason any damp garments should be replaced with dry ones as soon as possible, or enough covering be added to prevent chilliness from the evaporation

IrOUl - . I Free ©respiration (sweating) in hot. weat her (Barrie* off a large amount of I heat arid keen* down the temperature ’ If be checked,spongin- with water aids in cases of sunstroke or depression from heat. Persons have gone into hot ovens unharmed by encasing themselves in moistened"garmeuh', the evaporation keeping down the heat about the

body. Green wood, besides its inconvenience, is very unprofitable. A large amount of heat which the dry portions would yield is lost by being carried off - in the evaporation of the sap. So of any wet or damp fuel of any kind. As confined air is a i>oor conductor of heat, all fabrics that are porous, that is, full of little interstices, tubes or holes filled with air, are the best motectors to keep heat from escaping from the surface of the body. A loosely-woven garment or bed coverlid is warmer than a compact, firmly woven one, because the air in the textute of the former conducts heat less rapidly than the more solid ones. Loose-fitting garments are warmer than close-fitting ones, for reasons above given, and also because the air space between them and the skin is a mm-eouductor of heat. Stone, brick or wooden walls, with perpendicular air spaces in them, are warmer than solid walls, because the air conducts the heat away less than the solid materials. A (sheathing of tarred paper, or pasteboard, or of any thick paper even placed midway between the clap-boarding and the plastering, to form too thin air-cham-bers instead of one, adds greatly to the warmth of a house or other building. Two half-inch boards, set a little apart to leave an air space between, make a far warmer house-wall tnan the same thickness of wood in inch boards. A layer of loose straw put between the wall aud the earth banking up of a cellar adds much to the warmth on account of the air in the meshes of the straw. The same is true incovering roots or apples to be leftout in heaps over Winter. Double glass windows are several times warmer than single glass, because of the non-conducting film of air between. So of double doors. Moving air both carries off heat faster of itself and also increases evaporation, thus largely diminishing the temperature. A very small crack in a window, under or over, or by the side of a door or sash, or elsewhere, poduces a draft that requires much extra fuel to counteract the effects.— [American Agricultural.]

The London Times says the reports of the British consuls in regard to outrages against Jews in Russia will be issued by the foreign office. They do not show that any cases of violation of women have been clearly proven. A bill to prohibit nepotism by school directors passed the lowa senate. Cklrago. Flour —Dull and nominal.

FRESCOED CHEEKS. Ihe Total Depravity of Bric-a-Brac And Other Inanimate Things Clearly Shown, A San Francisco sign painter who does a large business in disguising black eyes, sailed for Europe yesterday, the profits of the holiday trade having justified him in taking a pleasure trip across the Atlantic. Just before be started he told a Chronicle reporter that his ordinary price for fixing one eye was $2.50. He made the astonishing statement that some of his best customes were ladies. “Yes, sir," he said, “accidents, you know, will happen in the best regulated families, and the feminine weakness for black eyes must be gratified in some way. Nearly all the black eyes are obtained in the same way, if'my information is correct. It’s always either a piece of utove wood that lumps up and hits the unfortunate ladies, or a piece of bric-a-brac that drops down and caroms on their lovely eyebrow. Poor things! It’s astonishing what dangers they incur in performing their Household duties. It’s astonishing that the legislature or the board of supervisors doesn’t do something to suppress the quarrelsome disposition of stovewood and bric-a-brac. There's a collection of old plates and mugs in a house on Van Ness avenue that I’d back for SI,OOO to whip Paddy Ryan or any other prize-fighter in the country.” “Have you noticed that these inhuman acts of bric-a-brac and stovewood are affected in any way by the seasons?” “Well—yes. Such festive occasions as Christmas and New Year seem to excite the brutal instincts of both to the highest pitch. I have noticed, though, that other articles are much more affected by seasons and by outside events than bric-a-brac and stovewood are. The latter are always filled with an implacableanimasity to married women, and gratify their hatred whenever the defenseless victims give them a chance. Rocking ehairs, hat lacks, stairways, mats, doors and mantels are only the mortal enemies of the male sex, and do more to keep up the price of sticking plaster than Harry Maynard’s gymnasium. Hardly a day passes that I don't have to fetch ap some worthy citizen who has been knocked off his pins by a rockingphair or gairoted by a hat rack. The other night one of the most sedate merchants on California street was quietly crawling up stairs to his family, boots in hand, when a treacherous hat-stand dealt him a blow under the ear that nearly lifted him out of his stockings. Before the astonished citizen could defend himself the stairjoined in the brutal attack and belabored him so unmercifully that when he dropped into my shop the next day I thought he must have come down head first through the stove-pipe. This is one instance of the murderous instincts of the articles I have mentioned.”—San Francisco Chronicle. Miss Ferry’s Hair. There is a young woman at Chicopee F*l!s, Mass., Miss Ida Ferry, who can boast a head of hair which probably excells in abundance and length anything which has ever been on exhibition. In these eases the hair rarely more than touches the ground ; but a’ full length photograph of Miss Ferry just taken shows her hair trailing for half a yard along the floor, though she is of full average hight. But so much hair is after all a great burden, and soon the photograph will be the only {evidence of it.—(Springfield Republican.

FROM COL. L. T. FOSTSR Youmobtowx, 0., May lU, 1880. Da- B. J. Kaxnau. A Co ? Gr.sra.—l had a very valuable Hambletonian colt which I prised very highly, he had a large bone spavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame; I had him under the charge of two V eterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him I was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall’s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three boules; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directions and by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. I used but one bottle and the eolta limbs are as free from lumps and as smooth as any horse In the Slate. He is entirely cured The cure wah so remarkable that 1 let two of my neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it. Very repecstfuly,, L. T. FOSTER. Perwvernnee Will Tell. Stoughton, Mass., March 16, 1880 B. J. K iso all k Co, Gxntk-~lu juatio* to you and myself. I think I ought to lai you know that 1 have removed two bone spavins with Kendall’s Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a oew thing here, but if it does for all what ithaa done for ue its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS EPARKER. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Mich, Dev 28, 1879.

Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” In the spring of 1872 1 slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint 1 was very lame and at times suffered the moet excruciating pain. 1 wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could hud nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should b» a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall’s Spavin Cure'' thought I would try it. 1 used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. The pain left me and lias not troubled mo since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend 'Kendall's Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Boutbll.

An excellent plan to save old napkins and tabelelothes is to cut‘out the good parts and put them away in a bag, appropriately labelled, and have them ready for use in ease of sickness. A housewife whose system is so complete that it is hard to believe that she has lived on earth only about forty years, gives this advice, and .he says also that we should keep another bag with pieces of flannel, and another with old cotton cloth, for the same purpose. To clean marble, mix one-quarter of a pound of soft s >ap with the same of pounded whiting, one ounce of soda add a piece of stone blue the size of a walnut; boil these together for fifteen minutes, and then, while hot, rub it overthe marble with a piece of flan - nel and leave it on for twenty-four hours; then wash it oft with clean water, and polish the marble with a pieee of coarse flannel, or, what is better, a piece of old hat. Small-pox is spreading, rapidly in New York.

One is sometimes troubled when frying cakes Uy a aediment forming in the lard, which darkens it, and sticks to the outside of the cakes. To remedy ths, peel and wash raw potatoes, cut them in slices an inch thick, and drop them into the hot lard. They will readily absorb th. black particles, and you can easily take them out with a skimmer and not waste the lard. Hash made of two parts potato, one part com beef, and one part beets, is an appetising dish for breakfast. The potatoes and beets should be boiled the day before; chop them and the beef fine, season with butter, pepper and calt, and some hot vinegar and mustard may be added if you choose.

The sooner a woman forms the determination, and sticks to it, that. <-'me what may, she will carefully guard her own health; the sooner she makes up her mind to do what she can do comfortably and well, and stop worrying about what most be undone, and sooner she will secure peace of mind for herseif and comfort and happiness for her family. A true test for eggs is to drop them in water, and if the large end comes up they are not fresh. H. H.
