The Myrtle.

This beautiful plant is a native of Persia,“but naturalized in the south of Europe, being now abundant on the sea coast from Marseilles to Genoa and throughout Italy. The leaves of the myrtle are of a rich dark-green tint. They are covered with clear dots, which secrete a highly fragrant volatile oil. The flower has active-clef calix, five white petals, numerous stamens, and one style which is succeeded by a globuse berry of two to three cells. A woody texture belongs to all the myrtle tribe; but fhey .yary in habits from that which spreads over the soil in the Falkland Islands, as the thyme does in Europe, to the immense eucalypti of Australia, which are among the most gigantic trees of that continent. The common myrtle, in its usual size and height, gives us, however,, a good idea of the average size of the majority of the myrtaceae. Some myrtles in the vicinity of London have heen known as trained plants to reach a height of ten to twenty feet, and an equal width. • At Cobham Hall, in Kent, are several specimens thirty feet high. The myrtle cannot, however, be considered as more than a half-hardy shrub in Great Britan. It was introduced into England in the sixteenth century; Gerard knew the myrtle in as early as 1597. Pliny informs us that it was a rare slant in Italy in his day; he, however, makes mention of eleven sorts, and remarks that the most odoriferous grew in Egypt. In the United States the Myrtle is usually treated as a pot plant, or, when large, grown in tubs, for removal into the cellar on approach of ■winter. De Candolle’s arrangement of the kinds of Myrtle is considered the best. According to that there are two species, viz.: 1, M. Melanocarpa or black-fruited, common in gardens, where are varieties of it with double flowers and variegated foliage, and also embracing the broad-leaved or Boman Myrtle, the box-leaved, the upright or Italian, the orange-leaved, the acute-leaved or Portugal, the broad-leaved Dutch, and the thyme-leaved myrtles; and 2, the white-berried, M. Leucocarpa, native of Greece and the Balearic lsles, the fruit of which is rather large, edible, with a grateful smell and taste. There are several striped-leaved sorts known in Europe, of much beauty. All the varieties propagate readily by cuttings and from seeds. The cuttings should be stuck in sand, or peat.and sand, and covered in the process with a bell glass. The Myrtle was well known to the ancients, and was held in high esteem for its beauty, supposed virtues, and medicinal qualities. It was employed as a symbol of authority, and entwined with laurel for wreaths in the triumphs of bloodless victory and of the Olympic and other games. The buds and berries were used as spices, and the latter are still employed in Tuscany as a substitute for pepper. A wine made from the Myrtle-was called myrtidainun. In Greece tle berries are administered to little children for treatment of diarrhoea. The eau d’ange, a sort of perfume sold in France, is distilled from the flowers. Medicinal qualities reside in the astringent nature of the various portions of the plant; and in Greece, Italy, and the South of France the bark is used in tanning. There are are some other species occasionally met with in collections, such as M. Tomentosa, a native of China, with rose-colored flowers, and M. Myrsimoides, a native of the colder parts of Peru. The Order of myrtleworts (myrtacese) is of much interest, embracing as it does the pomegranate, the guava, »the clove, the pimento or all-spice, and many trees producing valuable gums and important astringents.

Anise.

Anise grows wild in Egypt, in Syria., Palestine, and all parts of the Levant, but the Romans considered the Egyptian and Cretan anise to be the best, especially for medicinal purposes. The product of Southern Europe is now looked upon with fttvor. Among the ancients, anise seems to have been a common pot-herb in every garden. Although it is less used in medicine by the moderns than by the ancients, it still retains its former reputation as an excellent stomachic, particularly for delicate women and young children. The Romans chew it in order to keep up an agreeable moisture in the mouth, find sweeten the breath, while some Orientals still do the same’; Some of the Persian poets have sung the agreeable qualities of the anise, and a modern sweet ballad of Rome compares the slender grace of a young girl to the -anise. « Anise is an annual plant growing to the height of one foot, carries a white flower, aud blooms from June till August. The seeds are imported and used in large quantities on account of their aromatic and carminative properties. The distilled plant, when used in blossom, yields a sweeter and more grateful tincture than can be obtained from the seeds. Anise is extensively Used by the confectioner for the purpose of flavoring comfits and cordials. The anise seed cordial of the shops is a compound of alcohol, anise seed and angelica. The oil is obtained by distillation from the seeds, and though habitually mixed with a great many cattle medicines, and regarded by the farmers of former generations as one of the most potent drugs, it performs scarcely any other office than the communicating of an agreeable fragrance. The Chinese cultivate it for the seasoning of dishes; and the Japanese employ bundles and garlands of it in the ceremonies of their heathenish superstition. -

Scowls.

Oftentimes we meet people whose faces would be beautiful if they were not darkened and wrinkled by scowls. It never was designed that mortals should thus disfigure themselves—no, it never was. Scowls are the result of habit; we first yield to irritable emotion, and then let these wrong feelings settle into a chronjc state. It is well to bear in mind that the emotions of the heart are photographed on the countenance. They will as certainly Aeave their peculiar impressions on the countenance as a potter’s wheel leaves its impression on his vessels. , What is more beautiful than a fair

countenance? The features may be a little irregular; but if they wear smiles and good cheer, they will soon lose their plain appearance and become attractive. < ', “I fee! so bad and sick,” many a one says, “I can’t help scowling.” We cannot agree with you; you can help it; for if the minister chances to call, your scowls will vanish like the dew before the morning sun. Custom tells us that we .fljust wear smiles when we have visitors; and if we assume them to please visitors, let us keep them on to please our friends.— -Anon.

Extras for the Evangelist.

An evangelist from the East made a tour to Texas for the purpose of saving some of the desperate denizens of the Lone Star State. He opened his first meeting in what is known in the State as a “tough town.” About thirty hardlooking male citizens comprised the audience. After the good man had discoursed a little and sung several revival hymns he requested that a collection be taken up to carry him further into the State. A tall and fierce-look-ing Texan, armed to the nape of the neck, passed his sombrero around, with the significant remark: “Guv liberally, boys; you’ve seen the show, and we ain’t the men to beat any showman. ” The result wfts that every man contributed something, and when the hat was passed to the evangelist he examined the contents and then remarked: “I find in this hat $4.15 and two overcoat buttons.” Holding the supposed buttons in full view, “I tvill-——” A shout and considerable laughter eut off the evangelist’s remark, and the tall man said: ’"-“Mister preacher-man, you’re clean off on overcoat buttons. Them ain’t no buttons; them are chips, good for 50 cents’ worth of licker in any ginmill this side of the Rio Grande. They’ll also git you cooked grub, stranger, if yer appetite needs it." The explanation was satisfactory and the meeting closed.— Washington Hatchet.

The Cherubs.

“You did not pay very close attention to the sermon, I fear, this morning.”, “Oh, yes, I did, mamma.” “Well, what did the minister say?” “He said that the picnic would start at ID o’clock Thursday morning—and; oh! ma, can I go?”— New Orleans Times-Deniocrat. “Pa, what is it you’ve got?” “That is a peach basket, my daughter. ” “Ain’t it cunning? Will you give it to me when you get through with it?” “What do you want to do with it, my dear?” ’4s " ’ “I want to use it for a thimble-case for my little doll.”—New Fork Graphic. Mamma—“Johnny, what is the baby up to?” Johnny—“ He’s up to the jelly shelf.” —Philadelphia Call. “Oh, ma!” exclaimed a little girl, running breathlessly into the house from the garden; “you know my beans that I planted, don’t you?” “Yes, dear.” “Well, there’s peas on ’em.”—Somerville Journal ■

The British Hotel.

The ensuing autumn will probably be the finest season ever known for the proprietors of British hotels. Let us hope that the landlords will do something to deserve this extraordinary bit of good fortune, and abolish some of their customary extortionate charges. The fine of sixpence for every one who has an ordinary “tub” in his bed-room is a disgraceful imposition, and ought to be at once discontinued. Since Albert Smith wrote, many years ago, his “English Hotel Nuisance,” attendance has been charged in the bjll. This means that you have to pay double for attendance which should cost nothing. The old system, after all, was the best. You tipped the servants for services rendered, and they were content. Now, you tip the landlord and the servants; neither is satisfied, and you seldom get proper attention. In addition to this, the commissariat of most hotels throughout Great Britain wants improving, and then - tariff is in need of revision.— London World.

To Cook and to Sew.

A lady writer in the Rural New Yorker says: “A mother who allows her boys to grow up ignorant of wholesome cookery and the fine art of sewing, fails in her duty. Henry Ward Beecher’s mother taught him At an early age to sew ; and for lads full of activity, who cannot be kept quiet, sewing is an excellent pastime or discipline. If boys sewed more and romped less, and girls sewed less and romped more, the gain would be mutual. Then, too, if every member of the family knows how to prepare a meal the relief to the mother or wife is almost immeasurable. ”

There are said to be 36 varieties of oak in the United States, 34 of pine. 9 of fir, 5 of spruce, 4 of hemlock, 12 of ash, 3 of hickory, 18 of willow, 3 of cherry, 9 of poplar, 4 of maple, 2 of persimmon, and 3of cedar. The New York Museum of Natural History is to have a complete collection of the native woods of our entire country. The logs are being prepared for that purpose. They will be for the most part five feet long. ,a section of half the thickness of the logs at one end being removed. In this Way both (the longitudinal and transverse grainings are shown. There is also a diagonal cut on the section, ..which displays the graining also. The remainder of the log remains in its natural condition, with the bark attached.

Dr. Nachtigal has described some curious trees of the about Lake Chad in Africa. The butter tree bears a peculiar nut whose oil is much used as a substitute for butter; a leguminous tree—Parkia biglobosa—produces seeds from which a meal is made which is an exceUent food; while the wood-tree has a fruit which bursts like the pods of cotton and reveals a soft and lustrous mass of fibers, which may be used for a variety of purposes, such as stuffing cushions and mattresses.

The Box Tree in Persia.

The boX is a shrubby, evergreen tree, which affords the valuable wood used by engravers, mathematical instrument makers, and turners. In favorable localities it attains the height of fifteen or twenty feet, but in rocky regions does not rise above three or four feet. The wood is very heavy, hard, and durable, sinks in water, is very closegrained, and susceptible of a high polish. Large quantities of this valuable wood are produced in Persia. During the year 1876, 2,170 tons of boxwood were cut down in the province of Ghilan, numbering in all 60,000 pieces. When it is considered that scarcely more than one piece can be got out of one tree, and upward of 200,000 trees were hewn down last year alone in Ghilan and Mazenderam, it will be seen that such cuttings must make quite a clearing in the forests. ' From the district of Tenekabam 5,800 tons of boxwood were exported during last year, one firm of proprietors liaving cut down nearly 170,000 trees to effect this object. Every piece of boxwood worth exporting must be at least nine inches in diameter, and between four and five feet in length; it must be straight, and free from cracks, the average weight of each piece being seventy pounds; 1,000 pieces of such wood being worth, on the coast, from S6OO to SBOO. Tenekabam boxwood is superior to that of Ghilan. It is prepared for industrial uses by steeping large blocks in water during twentyfour hours, after which it is boiled in water during a certain length of time, and then allowed to dry slowly, jmmersed in sand or ashes to exclude the air, and thus prevent too rapid drying.

A Curions Discovery.

Prof. Ritchel, of Bridgeport, Conn., believes that he has, through some novel experiments with the common household moth, discovered the method their indelible and brilliant colors. Prof. Ritchel claims that the worm which hatches from the egg of the miller produces an excrement the exact color and shade of the material it has eaten. Red flannel given to some worms on trial produced a shiny substance of the exact hue of the flannel; gray hair eaten by the worms produced a gray color, etc. A very small quantity of this excrement colored a large quantity of white lead with which it was mixed. A test for the indelibility of the coloring matter was made by exposing a plate .of it to the rain and weather for two months. According to Prof. Ritchel’s report, this exposure did not fade or change the color.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

A Young Girl’s Dementias—How It Was iL ... Occasioned—Some Sew and Startling Truths. The St. Louis express! on the New York Central Road, was crowded one evening recently, when at one, of the way stations, an elderly gentleman, accompanied, by a young lady, entered the cars and finally secured a seat. As thp conductor approached the pair, the young lady arose, and in a pleading voice said: "Please, sir, don’t let him carry me to the asylum. lam not crazy; lam a little tired, but not mad. Ohl no, indeed. Won’t you please have papa txke me back home.-” Ihe conductor, accustomed though he was to all phases of humanity, looked with astonishment at the pair, as did the other passengers in their vicinity. A few words from the father, however, sufficed, and the conductor passed on while the young lady turned her face to the window. The writer chanced to be seated Just behind the old gentleman, and could not forego the desire to speak to him. With a sad face and a trembling voice the father said: "My daughter has been attending the seminary in a distant town and was succeeding remarkably. Her natural qualities, together with a great ambition, placed her in the front ranks of the school, but she studied too closely, was not careful of her health, and her poor brain has been turned. lam taking her to a private asylum where we hope she will soon be better.” At the next station the old man and his daughter left the cars, but the Incident, so" suggestive of Shakspeare’s Ophelia,awakened strange thoughts in the mind of the writer. It is an absolute fact that while the population of America Increased 30 per cent, during the decade between 1870 and 1880 the insanity increase was over one hundred and thir-i/y-five-per cent, for the same period. Travelers by rail, by boat, or in carriages in any part of the land see large and elaborate buildings, and inquire what they are. Insane asylums! . Who builds them? 7 4- . Each State; every county; hundreds of private individuals, and in all cases their capacity is taxed to the utmost. — Why? Because men, in business and the professions, women, at home or in society, and children lit school overtax their mental and nervous forces by work, worry and care. This brings about nervous disorders, indigestion and eventually mania. It is not always trouble with the hetd that causes insanity. It lar ottener arises from evils in other parts of the body. The nervous system determines the status of the brain. Any one who has periodic headaches; occasional dizziness; a dimness of vision; a ringing in the ears; a feverish head; frequent nausea or a sinking at the pit of the stomach, should take warning at once. The stomach and head are in direct sympathy, and if one be impaired the other can never be in order. Acute dyspepsia causes more insane suicides than any other known agency, and the man. woman or child whose stomach is deranged is not and cannot be safe from the coming on at any moment of mania In some one of Its many terrible forms. -- The value of moderation and the imperative necessity of care in keeping the stomach right must therefore be clear to all. The least appearance of indigostion or malassimilation of food should be watched as.carefully as the first-approach of an invading army. Many means have-been advocated for meeting siich attacks, but all have heretofore been more or less defective. There can be little doubt, however, that for the purpose of regulating the stomach, toning it up to proper action, keeping its nerves in a normal condition, and purifying the blood, Warner’s Tippecanoe The Best, excels all ancient or recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to adults, while it cannot by any possibility injure even a child. The fact that it was used in the days of the famous Harrison family is proof positive of its merit, as it has so thoroughly withstood the test of time. As a tonic and revivifier it is simply wonderful. It has relieved the agony of the stomachin thousands of cases; soothed the tired nerves; produced peaceful sleep, and averted the coming on of a mania more to be dreaded than death itself.

Couldn’t Stand Familiarity.

Mr. Hacklin went into an unhealthful neighborhood and started a newspaper. Several months afterward he was seen in the vicinity of his old residence. • - “Hello,” said a friend; “back so soon ?” “Yes; I got restless.” - “Didn’t like the neighborhood?” “Not after the people became too familiar. I had not been there long until it became evident that I would not like the place. I did not mind them shooting at me every time I went out of the office, and I even tolerated their blazing away at me whenever I’d stick my head out of the window; but when they fell into the habit of climbing on the house-top and shooting down the chimney, why I became disgusted at such familiarity.— Arkansaw Traveler.

Another Life Saved.

About two years ago, a prominent citizen of Chicago was told by his physicians that he must die. They said his system was so debilitated that there was nothing left to build on. He ma4e up his mind to try a “new departure.” He got some of Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery” and took it according to directions. He began to improve at once.

DR. JOHN BOLL’S SmtfsfoiiicSjnj FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AID ALL MALARIAL DISEASES The proprietor of thia celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority, over all remedies ever offered to the publie for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and FEBMAMENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a enre, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is,.however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week’or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single doee of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS wifi be sufficient.
