(.'kay Thornton's Chestxcts. Just at nightfall a rough-looking man tva walking pant " Chehtuut Woods." when he fancied he caw so die one gliding stealthily through the underbruhh. He itoppedand looked moreclos-ely ; but now there was not .-'o uuteh as the rustle of a leaf to betray the presence of another. Jle turned into a narrow footpath, and at that moment a boy sprang up front belli ml a clump of bushes. ' Is this you, Cray?" the man exclaimed. " What on earth are you here for at this time of day? and what have you cot in your bag?'' "I'm going home, and I've got chestnuts in my bag," vva-s the reply. " Hut 1 thought the chestnuts were all g"iie.v " They were almost all gone when I bevran to pick. fsut Mr. Oliver paid I might have what was left ; and so I've been in the woods every clay this week. I've got every one there was." " All right. IJut what made you skulk along so?" l.eeause because I was afraid soine?ody would soe me, and tell lather. If t hey did he'd sell them for rum. Nobody knows, enly mother. You wou't tell; will you, Mr. Weston." " Not a word, Cray. You needn't be rxfraid of my getting you into trouble. What have you done with the rest of your chestnuts ?" " Mother's hid them somewhere, and when Mr. Wate rs c unes along, she's going to boy me some shoes with them. liaven't trot anv shoes." " tfo that's it ! Well, you need the shoes, and if you haven't quite enough, tell Waters I'll make it up. lle'll trust me if I do get drunk once in a wh:le." " Oh, Mr. Weston ! I wish you didn't. You'd be so good if you didn't ; and perhaps father would be good, too, if he didn't drink rum." ' 1 le ought to, with such a boy as you. Tf Jimmy and mother had lived, I should have becuditlerent from what 1 am now." Ard as he said this, Mr. Weston brushed the tears from his eyes. " You won't meet your father to-night, lie's got some money to spend before he'll come home ; so hurry along to your mother, and good luck to you both." The speaker was one of those men who :ire usually U scribed as "good-hearted, kind and generous." lie had a true Yankee genius for the trade of tinkering, and wherever he might go was pretty sure of being welcomed as the very person whose presence was most desired. He might have been rich, and yet he was poor, living in a bit of a house on the further edgeof the wood. After parting from Cray Thornton he walked slowly on, sometimes stopping for a moment, as he thought sadly of his wasted life. He was never ill-natured or quarrelsome, but he was hisown worst enemy, and this he knew so well that he needed not to be remembered of the fact. A week had passed when he saw Cray Thornton's father entering a grog shop. He quickened his steps, and rushed in just in time to see the bag of chestnuts carried by Mr. Thornton poured into a halfbushel measure. "Hold on there!'' lie exclaimed. Those chestnuts are stolen property, and I can prove it. I've done some mean things in the way of drinking, but I never got sobad as to steal chestnuts from a boy. Thornton stole those from Cray. I know he did, and if there's not enough here to see fair play, it's a pity. Cray hasn't got a pair of shoes to his feet, and be picked those chestnuts one by!one, after every body else hatl given up. Thornton, you're a brute if you sell them for liquor. I never abused my boy, and if he'd lived he should not have gone barefoot such weather as this. If you've got any human feelings you'll stop drinking and take care of your family." " You're a tine fellow to preach !" was the sneering answer. " I'll quit drinking when you do." " You promise that, will you?" " Yes ; Til quit when you do." " Then here goes I've done with grog while I live. I swear it." With his right hand still uplifted, Mr. Weston gazed at his companion with a fixed look, until the latter, as if moved by a sudden impulse, raised hisown hand, and repeated, ' I swear it !" reverently and solemnly. " I will take back Cray's chestnuts," then said the father in a husky voice. Without hesitation they were returned to him. The spectators were awe-struck by what had occurred, and the silence remained unbroken. Mr. Thornton left the grog-shop, followed close by his friends. They, too, were silent. It was no time for talking ; but from that day there was plenty in two homes where before there had been poverty, and happiness where before there had been fear and w retchedness. Young People's Care of Themselves. Now, perhaps you will say thifj is a disrral and unnecessary sermon to preach to young people ; they have their fathers and mothers to take care of them; they don't take care of themselves. Very true; but fathers and mothers can not be always with their children; fathers and mothers can not always make Iheir children remember and obey their directions; more than all.it is very hard to make children realize that it is of any great importance that they should keep all the laws of health. I know when I was a little girl, when people said to me, "You mustn't do thus, and thus, for if you do you, will take cold," I used to think, " Who cares for a little cold, supposing I do take one?" And when I was shut up in the house for several days with a bad gore throat, and suffered horrible pain, I never reproached myself. I thought that sore throats must come

now and therj, whether or no, and that 1 I must take my turn. But now I have learned that if no law of health were ever broken, we need never have a day's illness, might grow old in entire freedom from suffering, and gradually fall asleep at last, instead of dying terrible deaths from disease ; and I am all the while w ishing that I had known it when I was young. If I had known it, I'll tell you what I should have done. 1 would just have tried the experiment, at any rate, of never doing a single thing which could bv any possibilitv get anv one of the

instruments of my body om of order. I wish 1 could see some bov or girl trv it yet; never to sit up late at night, never to have a close, bad air in the room; never to sit with wet feet; never to wet them, if it were pos-ible tf) avoid it; never to go out in cold weather without being proerly wrapped up; never to go out of a hot room into a cold out-door air without throwing some extra wrap on; never to eat or drink au unwholesome tiling ; never to touch tea, or coflee, or candy, or pie-crust; never to let a day pass without at eal two good hours of exercise in the open air ; never to read a word by twiluht nor in the cars; never to let the sun be shutout of rooms. This is a pretty lone list of " Hovers," but " never" is the only word that conquers. "Once in awhile" is the very watchword of temptation and defeat. I do believe that " onee-in-a-whi!e " things have ruined more bodies, and more souls, too, than all the other things put together. Moreover, the never way is ca.sv, and the " once-in-a-w hile " way is hard. After you have once made up your mind "never" to do a certaia thing, that is the end of it, if you are a sensible person. Hut if you say, "This is a bad habit," or "This s a dangerous indulgence ; I will be a little n my guard and not do it too often," yen have put yourself in the most uncomfortable of all positions; the temptation will knock at your dor twenty times a day, and you will hav to be lighting the same old battle over and over again as long as you live. This is especially true in regard to the matter of which have been speaking to you, the care of the body. When you have once laid down to yourself the laws you mean mean to keep, the things you will always do and the things you will tmrr do, then your life arranges it-vlf in a system at once, and you are not interrupted and hindered as the undecided people are, by wondering what is best, or safe, or wholesome, or too unwhole some, at dilierent times. Si. Xii tolas. A Thrilling Scene. ;'.. in New York Ledger. I find it in my scrap-book, clipped and pasted there a score of years ago. Anything tou-'hing the Austrian cavalry had a charm f jr me at the time, as I was just home front that part of the world. I had witnessed the evolutions at drill of the cavalry of every Kuropean nation excepting ihe Kussian,and theAuslrians bore the palm. It is a grand sight twenty to forty thousand horse, where each and every horse knows and understands the slightest note of the bugle, sweeping over a broad plain, and chansring position like an enormous machine guided by an unerring master hand. It must be seen to be appreciated. Words cannot reproduce the picture. On a certain occasion an event transpired which lent an interest most thrilling to the military scene. It was at a reveiw. held in Vienna, on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the military Order of Maria Theresa. Not far from thirty thousand cavalry were ia line. A little child a girl of not more than four years standing in the fremt row of spectators, either from fright or some other cause, rushed out into the open field just as a squadron of huzza ra came sweeping around from the, main body. They made the detour for the purpose of saluting the Empress, whose carriage was drawn up in that part of the parade ground. Down came the flying squadron charging at a mad gallop directly upon "the child. The mother was paralyzed, as were others, for there could be no rescue from the line of spectators. The Empress uttered a cry of horror, for the child's destruction seemed inevitable and such terrible destruction the tramping to death by a thousand iron hoofs! Directly under the feet of the hoi sts was the little one another instant must seal its doom when a stalwart huzzar, who was in the front liue, w ithout slackening his speed or loosing his hold, threw himself over by the side of his horse's neck, seized and lifted the child, and placed it in safety upon his saddle-bow; and this he did without changing his pace or breaking the correct alignment of the squadron. Ten thousand voices hailed with rapturous applause the gallant deed, and other thousands applauded when thev knew. Two women there were who could only sob fotth their gratitude in broken accents the mother and the Empress. And a proud and happy moment must it have been for the hussar when his Emperor, taking from Ids own breast the richly enameled Cross of the Order of Ma'ia Theresa, hung it upon the breast of his brave and gallant trooper. The British Keer Shop. Atlantic .Monthly for I. ceinlier.J The British beer shop is a manifold, a mighty, a terrible, a pathetic phenomenon. Go where you will iu England, but particularly in the larger ami "more prosperous cities, this hydra every now and then thrusts up one of its countless heads before you, all so simiiar in features that you can hardly distinguish between one and another, with the result that you are impressed at last with a fearful sense of multitude, of unescapable power, and of a power which is evil. Tin re is nothing terrifying in the staring sign, the great, gleaming windows, and other rec -guizable characteristics of a single London or Liverpool drink ing saloon. Tired, perhaps, wiih sight-seeing, you are rather pleased to find such a haven in your way, and you rush iu gladly to revive your forces with a draught of pale ale or porter. But after you have seen a thousand, after you have cn ten thousand, all more or less alike in physiognomy, all rushing from morn tilt midnight with malt liquors and fiery ardent spirits, all frequented and often crowded by driukingmen and women and even infants, you begin to feel a sentiment of doubt and distrust which is capable of rising to something like terror. It seems to the imagination as if some immeasurable beast underlay all England, shooting up through the crust of the island innumerable glittering and drooling muzzles, all eager to poison anci devour. You wonder how the sturdy human breed here established can withstand this incessant huDger of a measureless monster. If you do not wish that there were no beer shops at all, you do perhaps come to desire that theie might be fewer. Visit Your Parents. Never allow weather or want of time or considerations of expenss or convenience to prevent it, short and often if in the same town, or if at a distance, make it a point now and then to go back to the old home, and talk about old times, and tell them how you are doing. They are old now, and are very much alone. There are no young folks about the house to attract others, and most of those of their own age have passed away; they need some break in the loneliness of their homes; every visit of a child is pure happiness, and when the message comes, "They are dead," your first regret will be that you had not doue more to make them happy, and to smooth their pathway to their last resting-place.

The Bold Klflewoman. A few daya ago, says the New York Tribune, the membersof a California rifle association were engaged in the great moral duty of shooting at a mark, w hen a lady, carrying a long-range rifle, decorated with the usual quantity of surveying instrument? and meteorological machines, made her appearance, and an

nounced tnat she intended to shoot. The astonished riflemen did not dare to interpose any objection, but flew madly toward the target, in order to obtain a safe position. The unruiHed lady though, on second thought, she may have had more or less ruffles concealed about her person stretched herself upon the ground, tied herself into the intricate knot usually called " the Creedmoor position," shut her eyes firmly, and fired. To the dismay of the riflemen, she actually hit the target at a distauce of a thousand yards, thereby seriously imperiling the lives of those who had sought safety in its vicinity. It was evident that something must be promptly done to check the threatened effusion of blocd, and the lady was therefore hurriedly presented with a gold medal, and lured from the ground before she had time to lire a second shot. Californians have been so long in the habit of having themselves shot in the course of social " difficulties " that they ought not to be seriously alarmed because they are now threatened with the devastating rifles of ambitious rifiewomeu. It is, however, a matter of very great importance to riflemen of other States that a woman has set her sex the example of shooting at a mark other than an objectionable husband or an un satisfactory lover. Women have already invaded the domains of physicians, lawyers, ard clergymen, but if they are bitten by a desire to become expert rif'ewomen, the insecurity of life and limb which will ensue will be a serious, if not fatal, check to the prosperity of the country. It is quite possible that by careful study woman may learn to distinguish between the muzzle and the breech of a rifle, although they are undoubtedly born with the idea that the breech, being much larger than the muzzle, is the active and efficient end of a gun. It is when they have learned the truth as to this matter, and rashly fancy themselves able to load and fire, that the real ilauger to the community will become imminent. Unfortunately the cartridge of a breech-loading rule is so constructed that it can not Le inserted wrong end first, and hence women can hardly make any woful mistake in loading their weapons. If we had a rifle which, when carelessly loaded, would discharge itself backward, the slaughter resulting from female rille practice wouid be greatly curtailed, and would, moreover, tie of a kind which would tend to discourage the sex from meddling with firearms. Such a rille will, of course, be invented as soon as the number of nflewomen demonstrates its necessity, but before that time our fair land may be covered with the corpses of unhappy men who chanced to be within range of a rifle wielded by feminine hands. The riflewoman will have no insuperable difficulty in assuming the "Creedmoor position," though she will naturally kill a few persons by accidentally twisting the hammer of her rifle in her back hair while tying herself into the requisite quantity of knots. It is when she shuts her eyes and aims at the vague target which, to her imagination, extends along the horizon through an arc of one hundred and eighty degrees that the chief slaughter will begin. That she can not tire without previously shutting her eyes will be universally conceded by every one who has the slightest knowledge of her sex, and hence the direction which may be taken by her ball will be wholly a matter of chance. The innocent boy who may be blithely stealing apples in a tree a hundred yards to the right of the target will be as likely to be hit as the man who is standing by the rifle woman's side, and the yells of those who are unexpectedly hit in painful places will be the only moans of ascertaining whither the wandering bullets have sped. Of course most people will regard the space immediately in front of the target as the safest position, but even here they can not be sure of immunity. The riflewoman may suddenly take it into her head to aim at the north star, and thus hit the very center of the bull's eye. The simple truth is that there will be no such thing as safely within a radius of at least fifteen hundred yards of a woman with a rifle, and her path to and from the rifle ground will be strewn with the victims of accidental discharges. This is a picture which may fill us with alarm. The poet has forcibly, and apparently prophetically, said, " that angels rush in where riflemen fear to tread, and there is every reason to fear that the example of the California riflewomen will inspire her contemporary angels with a thirst for target-shooting. Fortunately, however, we' do not grieve as those who have no hope. We can not expect to keep women out of Creedmoor and other rille grounds by force, but we can call to our aid the fierce and terrible field-mouse. With a little encouragement in the nature of crumbs Creedmoor can ho made, in the course of another season, to swarm with mice. Let it once be thoroughly understood that to assume the "Creedmoor position" on any rifle ground is to deliver one's self to the careful and conscientious scrutiny of hungry mice, and no woman will venture within miles of the place. It would not be necessary to go to the extreme length of rats, or even to circulate rumors of supposititious snakes. The mice alone would secure Creedmoor from female invasion, and if husbands and brothers would aid in the good work by stealthily concealing mice in the cartridge-boxes of rifiewomen it is morally certain that feminine zeal for rifle-shooting would sutler a sudden and complete eclipse. Oriental Exploration. '.National Kt-pository for January. The latest discoveries of the late Mr. George Smith cast new liglit on the history of early Bible times. He left England in February, 1S70, on his third and last archaological mission to the East, hoping to renew excavations on the old Ninevite site3, near Mosul, on the Tigris. The Turkish authorities threw every obstacle in his way, and he was compelled to change his plans. While in the Euphrates valley he identified the remains of ancient Carchemish, thecapital of the Hittites, where good King Josiah was fatally wounded while righting with Pharaob-Neeho. lie lighted also on a number of Hamathite inscriptions, of which he took casts. Theses writings were named after "Hamath the Great," on the river Orontes, a city mentioned several times in the prophecies of and historical books of the Old Testament. Its king maintained amicable relations with David. The inscriptions are written iu a hieroglyphic very unlike those of Egypt, although in some of these texts the royal rings of Thothmes III and other conquering Pharaohs are thought to have been recognized. This strange writing has been identified as that of the Khita, the Hittites of the Bible. Egyptian inscriptions had already proved that these Khita, or Hittites were acquainted with the art of writing, and that their principal seat was in the Orontes valley. They are now also identified with the Ketetoi of Mysia, mentioned by Homer. The Assaying Department of the New Orleaus Mint is again in operation. The receipts of bullion have so far been nominal, but it is expected that Mexican bullion will begin tu come there as soou as it becomes generally known that the smelting and assaying departments are in working order.

FIELD AM) HOME.

Some Mistakes in Regard to Fertilizers. Conrad Wilson writes to the Christian Union: It is a favorite theory of some scientific writers that most soils by excessive cropping are exhausted of their three leading elements, nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, while the other constituents are so well supplied by a majority of soils, and some of them so little required by the croj- that we need not concern ourselves about them. Butthe failacyof this idea is evident on a moment's reflection, and the attempt to establish a general system cf fertilizing crops on a foundation so questionable is surprising. There are not less than three essential Hiiuts which are overlooked in assuming this position. In the first place, admitting that the other and less important elements of plant food are abundantly present '.u a majority of soils, it does not follow that their condition is such as to give them any present value to the crops, and if they are not available for the crop they might well be absent. Sicon ly, it matters not how sniail quantity may be of any given element net tled by the intended crop, that quantity whether it be one pound per acre or one hundred jxHinds, must be present in the st 'l and must be in a soluble condition. Thirdly, the quantity of each element that must be found in the soil it not to be limited to the exact amount required by the growing plant, but should be much larger. A crop, for example, may not require more than one pound of soda per acre ; yet to make sure that it will get one pound, it is very clear that the acre must contain much more than that quantity. It is therefore a great mistake to s;.y to the farmer that for every crop he plants he needs only to concern himself about the inanuriul elements. Suppose that animal thing was deprived of ail its plant-food excepting these same three elements. Does any practical tanner lelieve that its value would not be impaired ? In every view of the subject it is easy to see that uo formula tor fertilising an acre of land is either souud or trustworthy that omits such elements ass da, lime and magnesia, to say nothing of the others. The wheat crop, for example, requires for a yield of twenty-five bushels per acre uot less than ton and a halt" pounds of magnesia, whiles tor Indian corn, a product of thirty-eight bushels per acre requires over twelve pounds ot the same element. Now let us supjmse the ca.-e of two farms lying in the same township, one of which happens to be supplied with magnesia in the right condition lor the crop, while in the soil of the other this constituent is either entirely wanting or is chemically locked up iu a form that makes it useless. Iu the eac of the first farm the 1'rofcssor'a method might succeed it' applied lor either wheat or corn, provided the other conditions were all right; but in the case of the second farm the formula would be, in any event, worthless. Cats ix AtiRiCfi.Ttiu;. Mrs. Swisshelm gives a chapter in the Pittsburg Coiiutrniiil on " Cats," that entomologists will not lie slow to appropi iate to their use in arguing the bird-insect question. She says: If our agricultural societies could ofi'er premiums for the scalps of these domestic tigers just as counties used to do for those of their more harmless first cousins, wolves, we would in a few years be done not only with greetv worms, but the greeu grasshoppers, which come up like a cloud and spread over the laud, bt-cau.se the millions of birds that should be ou hand to eat them as they come out of the ground have been destroyed by our pet tigers. No one who Las not paid attention to the subject can have any idea of the number of birds and bird.-)' nests-destroyed in one year by one cat, and to me it is a wonder that there are any birds left in the United States. To be sure, there are very few. I have heard more bird songs here in Leipsic in the seven weeks 1 have been here than lever did in seven years at home, and there 1 lived most of the time in the country, while here I am iu the city. Our street terminates abruptly on the confines oi a garden, which must embrace twenty acres, and surrounded on three sides by high houses. Our block is the last ou the street, and our roonts at the eud next to this garden, which is full of tall trees ami shrubbery and flowers and pleasant walks, and I think there are more birds in it than in Chcrryhiil Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, iu which our summer home was situated, and which is a very large township, not less thau twenty miles square. Every family there but one keeps cats to amuse the children and catch rats, and as a cat never touches a rat while it can get a bird, or a nest of birds or eggs, and as they can easily follow a bird "to its nest and cannot follow a rat to its, there r-re not many birds left when cats fall to catching rats. Nobody raises fruit there except by accident. All the trees were decorated with caterpillar's nests, and the last year we were there the worms attacked ihe elder bushes and blackberries, the main dependence of the people for fruit. One might see "intelligent farmers" sitting caressing cats, while the worms were devouring their erujis, and their faithful guardians were in pussy's maw. I useit to be so tried that I should have been resigned to the dispensation of Providence if I had heard some morning that threats were eating the men instead of the birds. It would certainly be a great blessing to the country if they would just take and eat off enough members of agricultural societies to wake them up so that they could see the havoc these cruel, treacherous beasts of prey these unnatural, monstrous companions of our children, have been making with our forest songsters aud prairie lowl. , llittlA lor Xlome Cahbage Jelly. Cut a cabbage into quarters and soak in strong salt and water two hours. Then boil. Wheu done squeeze iu a colander till perfectly dry. Then chop very fine, season with butter, pepper, and salt to suit the taste. Press all of it closely into an earthen bowl or mold, and bake in a moderate over, one lK,ur. When done turn it out and send to table hot, leaving each to dress with pepper aud vinegar, or eat plain. This ia said to be more healthy than the common way. We have not tried it. 1'otato Cnorf-. Boil and ma.h some nice mealy potatoes; then with one or two well-beaten eggs make them into a paste, work it well', dust it over with flour, and roll out. Take mmc nice thin neck of mutton or lamb chops, carefully trim off the fat, pepper and salt them on both sides, cut the paste in to shape, cover over like a puff, pinch the edgss, and 'ry of a light brown ; they look better if about an inch of the bone i left visible. Any kind of cold under-done meat, minced find and seasoned nicely, can be used instead of the chops; it is an excellent way of cooking cold meat. I M'lul KusKcMiona. Have a particular place for every implement alout the premises, and when not in use, be sure to keep it there. By so doing a great deal of time, trouble, vexation and hard feeling will often be saved. Put everything where you can go directly to it and place your hand on it in the darkest night. In't leave your farm tools exposed to the weather, or they w ill soon rust and rot out, and you will be compelled to buy new ones. A mono the things which every farmer fhould have is a well stocked orchard of fruit trees. V henever a tree dies it

rtiould be replaced by another, and by having trees of different ages, he may be almost certain of fruit every year. A liberal supply of apples and peaches should be planted, together with a fewpear and cherry trees." Some fruits for family ust? should not be neglected, and good care should be taken of all. Fruits are among the most healthful of our foods, and no farm should be without them. Apples are now considered more nutritious than potatoes indeed, many go so far as to think that they contain aure brain food than any other fruit or vegetable. However that may be, they certainly exert a healthful influence

uiKiii the whole system when eaten raw or cooked in a simple manner. Wheu coinpeiiuKieu w ith butter, eggs and tlotir they are far les wholesome than when baked or steamed. Apples nicely baked and served with cream are a delicious dish, and an ingenious housekeeper can easily devise numerous ways of preparing them for the table. The London PaU Mull Gaze tie says : The enormous import of wheat from the United States into this country, and the probability that it will increase rather thau diminish in limeto come, leads us to reflect how it happens hat Indtiau corn, which ii so largely consumed in various forms by all clashes in America, fails to find favor with Englishmen ai home. Iu soma way maiza is certainly to be pre ferre.l to wheat; and tho.-e who have onceacquired the taste for it on the other side of the Atlantic certainly miss the Indian corn on their return. We suppose, however, that there is little hope that our working classes will ever take to this cheap, wholesome, and nutritious food. The mere fact that it is cheap, operates in stone measure against its adoption. There is nothing, ptrhaps, in an Englishman's nature so stupid as his dislike to have it sup used that he is content with cheap food. And Indian corn is very cheap. Sketch of James I'tissel Lowell. A correspondent of the GnijJth writt s thus of James Kussel Lowell, at his home in Cambridge: The poet ia very sproachable, and is often to be met on the street, and may not unfrequently be heard on public aud other occasions. An opportunity when the humorous side of his nature showed itself was that of his course of readings from Dun Quixote, during tl-e pre-ent year. It was a privilege to hear him on thi-5 congenial subject he was himself so much entertained by it. " 1 il'n't know how any one could help it with Cervantes," he said. From evening M evening the hearers increased; they laughed a great deal, and as for the reader, he grew enthusiastic over the " rare humor " of his author. He translated as he went along, omitting the parts not essential to the narrative. It was very easy, choice, and apt, and was rendered with such readiness that the slight hesitancy now and then adtkd a piquant flavor. He put on glasses and confined his attention to his text, except, as with exceeding relish he threw in an a-ide at every opportunity, and called attention to some choice bit the lighting up of his whole face and change of tone showing how delectable it was to hitu. His voice is very smooth and low. but clear aud distinct. He was not dramatical iu the least, but gave the narrative in a natural, colloquial way. He came in promptly at the moment, read sitting, and when he had finished the portion allotted for the evening, stoppod without comment. Some of the latter photographs of him are excellent likenesses.

By condiments we meau substances like sugar, spices, vinegar, and others, that are employe I to impart flavor aud piquancy to the staple foods. They are usually regarded as run-essential, and some writers on dietetics have gone so far as to condemn their use, unless in rare instances, and in the mot intiinitesimal proportions. Like all g.jod things, they are liable to be abused, but wheu properly used they are valuable elements in our daily fond. Professor Yoit, of Munich, than whom tlu re is no higher authority on such a subject, considers that their importance has not been sufficiently recognized. It is not enough that food should contain alimentary principles in proper quantity to render it really nutritious there must also be a supply of condiments. These have Yieen compared to oil in a machine, which neither makes good the waste of material, nor supplies motive power, yet causes it to svork better. They render essential service in the process of nutrition, though they are not of themselves able to prevent the waste of any part of the body. A dietary deprived of condiments, a mere mixture of alimentary principles without taste or smell, is unendurable, and causes nausea and vomiting. It is not until condiments are added to aliment that it really becomes food. Extreme hunger may enable us to dispense with them, as it may compel us to devour what at other times would be disgusting, but under ordinary circumstances they are an essential part of our diet. Standard Remedies. It ia a fact well known to all our readers that a few proprietary medicines have achieved a reputation as standard remedies, and occupy a place in every well regulated household, almost as universally as the Bible and the family almanac. Foremost among these is the Mrrrhnnt's Gargling Oil, manufactured by the well-known company of that name at Lockport, N. Y. a sovereign remedy for man and beast, and one which has wrouirht hundreds of well-attoled cures. We need hardly say here what the patrons of the Blade fully understand that we do not make a practice of praising indiscriminately the numerous compounds offered to the public, but since we believe the "Gargling Oil" to be a carefully compounded and efficacious remedy, we do not hesitate to say as much. 7ohfrt (O.)

CLMOMAL SOTES.

The Centennial Exhibition ha form ally cloned, but considerable portions of the exhibits retnaia, some of which will be perluauentlr located in the ruain building, which will be retained for exhibition purposes, tinder the auspices of a new association. Many exhibitors hurt establish d branches of their business in Philadelphia, ana will become a part of its future irrowth. There are many articles which have been exhibited here of special interest to large c!&ssesof renders, which I have not noticed, some of which I will briefly describe. THE Jl'P'.F.S OF AKXIf'iCIAL LIMBS and Sareical Instruments, composed of men ' eminent for their scieiit:Sit attainments, put the exhibitors to the severest tests, examm- j iug those wearing artificial legs thoroughly, i waking them walk ve-oroti-sly.and question- i i:ig them closely as to the time tcey ha. I 1 worn them, and their comparative ease and comfort. And their verdict mar justly be j regarded at an impartial and authoritative i judgment of the merits of the exhibition. , Of the ten exhibits they found one so siir- j nally superior, calkd the "Safety Socket," designed to receive a part, or the whole, of , the weight o the wearer upon the end of t the stump, "a mode of treatment," they av, "so radically ditferent from existing hie ts i and practice, as to merit the rank of a d.--eoverv." And, therefore, they gave the fcue j i !) to the exhibitor, B. FRANK PALMER, I.L. P., of Philadelphia, declaring that "the com plete success of his invention fortlie relief ol : one of the direst forms of human misfortune daces the author in the front ranked the j inventors and mechanics of the age." Ad' the artificial lees hitherto made seem woria- i less in comparison with Dr. Palmer's. one : ; a a mutilated leg, who sees it, wotu i be without it. 'nnitmitton Cur.Hl.
