Gadding Street Ornaments. The girl that gives way to a desire to gad about the streets, to cultivate the acquaintances of young men and act simpering, is laying the foundation of a useless life. Then two to one, when married she will develop into a slattery gossip, if no greater misfortune befalls her. It is the girl that loves home and helps her mother that wins the model man and becomes an ornament to womanhood. The girl that does this and devotes some of her spare time to reading and strives for the graces of metttal culture, commands the respect and esteem of everybody, while the gadding street ornament only wins the admiratiou of those whose adtuira tion is not worth having.

Mark Twain’s most popular and successful I>ooks have beeu sold by subscription and his new book entitled “The Tragedy of Pudd'ahead Wilson and the Comedy, Those Extraordinary Twins,” is announced for early publication. The Tragedy and Comedy were at first a dual story—two stories in one—aud the author’s account, as given in the preface, of the difficulty he had in writing the book, of the incompatibility of some of the characters and of his having to finaly separate them by pulling one of the stories out by the roots and leaving the other—a kind of literary Caesarean operation, is certainly one of the most original, breeziest-and cleverest ohap-ters—choice fun—that has been written for many a day. We are told that “There is a time to laugh” and Tne Churchman tays: “The reader will begin to smile at the very first paragraph.” The book will sold only by subscription and as it possesses, in a pronounced degree the remarkable characteristics of the authors best works, it is sure to have a targe sale. Each page will be beautifully illustrated with marginal sketches, the work of one of our best artists, and the publishers have wisely decided to sell the volume at a popular price—bringing it within the reach of all.

Salt for Pa. tares. The effect which common salt has upou permanent pasture is, in a measure, dependent upon the weather which prevails at the date of its application. During dry weather the eflect would be to check the luxuriance of the crop, but should a period of rainfall set in, it is more likely to improve the growth of the grasses. In any case the pasture is beuefitted by the application, as the cattle always graze more closely on laud which has thus been dressed. From three to five cwt per acre would be the average quantity employed. This would be applied during ApriTor May, and the pastures which produce the rankest herbage would receive the heavier dressing. Grass land of this class should be dressed in the first mentioned month, and be stocked with strong cattle before the grass has made much headway ; there is then a chance of the herbage being well pulled out, which will improve the feeding properties of the field for another year.

THE ORIGIN OF MAIZE. A Carious Indian. Legend Describing How Corn Was First Produced. The Ottawa Indian legend of the origin of maize (Indian corn) is os curious as it i3 interesting: When the Ottawas were driven from the beautiful Manitoulin islands by the warlike Iroquois, their magician, Mass-wa-we-in-ini, remained behind. One day, when the old man was crossing a wide plain and audibly bewailing the fate of his people, he was accosted by a queer looking little man with a red feather woven in his hair. “Where are you going?” asked the dwarf cheerily, but the grim old medicine man made no reply. “If the place is not far distant, ” continued the little man, “stop by the way and let us smoke. ” As they puffed away at their pipes, the dwarf became very inquisitive, finally saying, “Wherein, Mass-wa-we-in-ini, lies the secret of your great power?” “My strength, like that of my tribe, ” sorrowfully answered the magician, “is no more. ” “We must wrestle, ” instantly cried tiie fiery little dwarf, “and if you make me fall you must cry, ‘I have thrown you, Wa-ge-me-na. ’ ” They wrestled for some time, but the active little dwarf always managed to keep on his feet. Finally, when old Mass-wa-we-in-ini was all but exhausted, he threw the “little man of the red feather,” and before he had time to cry, “I have thrown you, Wa-ge-me-na,” the earth opened, and the dwarf disappeared from view. On carefully examining the spot where the opening had been made in the turf, Mass-wa-we-in-ini discovered a small distorted ear of mondamih (Indian oom). It was protruding from the ^opening in the earth, the hairy, or silky, end being foremost. While pondering over this odd discovery, Mass-wa-we-in-ini heard a voice coming from beneath, and these were the words: “Divest me of my covering and reveal my body. Separate me into many parts and cast me upon the plain. Return again in two moons. ” The old magician did as directed by the voice, and when, at the expiration of the stipulated time, he returned to the “wrestling place,” he found corn growing luxuriantly, and a few rods away, where he had cs.st the original cob after removing the grains, pumpkin vines literally covered the earth. All at once a deathly stillness seemed to reign over the cornfield, and not a single pumpkin leaf moved. Presently he heard the voice of the vanquished dwarf: “Mass-wa-we-in-ini, you have conquered ihe. Had you not done so, your life^yould have been forfeited on this ver$\ spot Victory has orowned your strength, and hqpoeforth my body shall give nourishment to all red men who will attempt to wrestle with my spirit like you did with my real self.”—St Louis Reuublio.

Adam’s First Wife. 4 Whether Lilith was one of the female creation of ohapter 1 or a demon or something between the two, she was, considered matrimonially, a complete failure. She was expelled after living with Adam for 130 years and subsequently became the wife of satan, by whom she was the mother of the Jinns, so familiar in Persian fairy lore. The emphatic remark of Adam when he first saw Eve, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,” makes, it is suggested, a comparison between Eve and the beautiful but fiendlike Lilith not complimentary to the latter, while the reference on the birth of Seth to him as Adam’s son “in his own likeness, after his image,” conveys a painful hint of the uncanny offspring born to Adam and Lilith. Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith —the name occurs translated “night monster” in Isaiah xxxiv—became the sworn foe of little children, whom she was wont to strangle with one of her glorious golden hairs unless the watohfulness of their mothers drove her away. It has indeed been gravely suggested by an etymologist greatly daring that our word “lullaby” is simply a corruption of “Lilia, abi,” Lilith, avaunt! which mothers and nurses would croon over the cradles or write on the doorpost.— All the Year Round. New York Pronunciation. The Utica Observer denies that the people of central New York pronounce Utica as though it were spelled “Uticy.” And it gets back on The Sun of this city, in which the statement occurred, as follows: ’‘But how about the pronunciation of New Yorkers? What shall we of central New York think of the ‘queer pronunciation’ of those who claim ‘New Yawk’ or ‘Hahlem’ as their home? How about the young man who comes up here and tells us about taking some ‘guoil’ (girl) ‘faw’ a drive in Central ‘pawk’ behind his new ‘hawss?’ And the young man who takes the cable ‘cahs’ up town to ‘Fawty-thoird’ street and from there rides home on his ‘w’eel’ (wheel— bicycle), how about his pronuncia tion? Isn’t it a bit ‘queer’?”—New i York Tribuna
