Comfort from Newspapers.

Haay jmn ago, in ana at ch« mtom wtatar* when there waa ranch hardahif among the poor, a city paper BUggoeteS that old newspapers, spread over the bed would form an excellent substitute for blankets and coverlet*. This brought Upon the journal a great deal of harmless ridicule from other pep&w, but it brought comfort to many a poor family. In the matter of bed-clothing, especially, we are apt to associate warmth with weight, and do not consider that there is no warmth in the coverings themselves, but that they merely prevent the heat of the body from passing off. Whatever is e poor conductor of neat will make a warm covering. Paper itself is a poor conductor, out still poorer are the thin laymm of air that are confined when two o» three newspapers are laid upon one another. A few newspapers laid over the bed will keep one much warmer than some of the heavy, close-woven blankets. We do not propose newspapers as a substitute for blankets and comforters, but it is one of those make-shifts that it is well to know. In traveling one may, by the aid of a few papers, secure a comfortable rest in a thinly-clad bed, and if w<s cannot afford to give a destitute family a blanket |or a comforter, we may show them how to increase the useful. Dess of their thin coverings bv stitching a few layers of newspapers between them. It may be well to remind thos< who grow window-plants that, by tomoving them away from the window, and arranging a cover of newspaper* over them, they may be preserved from harm in severely oold nights. With th* plants, as with ourselves, it is not sc much that cold oomes in as that the heat goes off, and often a slight prrteotioa will prevent the escape of heal—4>ur toon JLjricndiib iM.

Official Encouragement of Talent.

A fact noticed in the' Belgian corregp mdence of one of the Parisian pa pers affords another illustration of the inefficaey of the official encouragement of talent by the state. The King of the Belgians has regularly offered every year, for the last ten years, a prize of £J,UOO for the best work on some subject of general interest, the greatest latitude of choice being allowed the candidates, provided the work came within the sufficiently comprehensive category of “oeuvres d’intelligcnce.” During the whole ten years the prize has only been awarded once. Year after year the jury appointed to decide on the merits of the different essays sent in have had to make the melanoholy return that not one of them came up to a decent standard. Macaulay (himself a writer of prize poems) has somewhere said that p*tze sheep are only fit to make candles of, and prize poems to light them with. Young Oxford would probably object to the dictum; but in Belgium, if prize essays and prize poems may be placed on the same footing, it would seem to be in part true.— Pall Mall Gazette. tempting to oonvmce gentlemen tc adopt a new practice when the old is so convenient to follow—reserving this for future consideration or allowing it to rest upon what has heretofore been said—we desire to urge the use of enough oil meal to keep the animals in a thriving, healthy condition. A very little, given regularly, will answer the purpose, and it will be found admirable in preventing constipation and imparting to the stomach and digestive organs a fine, healthy tone. It assists greatly in the digestion and assimilation of other foods, and the use will be found in every way satisfactory. It can tdso be fed to other descriptions of live-stock, in smaller quantities, and , we have found its use particularly advantageous with horses subject to colic or intestinal disorders. -Breeders’ Go■telle.

Just Looked at Him.

Sometimes an impudent ruffian get* his due at the hands of a woman. Not long ago a modest, well-bred girl paused for a moment on a street corner to await the coming of a friend whom ■he had left indoors. A man saw th« stationary feminine figure, and, approaching, began with confidence to talk about the weather, and inquire the young woman’s destination. He was met with a stony stare. He braved it for a moment and talked on, but presently his words began to fail, he repeated himself, he stammered, he stuttered, he even blushed under the cool, •urprised eyes, and in the end he turned and almost ran away from the woman he was insulting.— Chicago ts the clothing house: “I want a bang-up, common sense suit One that’ll be dressy and not too good for buar ness.” “That’s just the oheeae. Every way equal to custom made. Nobody’ll know the difference, and a third less in price. Sanwithing madeun would cost you-—” IFm; yes.
