- -- The Coming: Centennial. TnE Exhibition will bo opened on May 10, 1876, and, remain open everyday, ex ccpt fcundnj-until Nov. 10. There will br a fixed price of fifty cents for admission to all the buildings and grounds. TnE Women's Ontcnnial Kxecutlve Committee have raised $:Q,000 for the erection of a pavilion in which to exhibit etcry kind of women's wort. To this collection women of all nations arc ex pected to contribute. PowEitinJhe Machinery Hall will lm chiefly supplied by a pair of monster Cor liss engines. Each cylinder is forty inches in diameter, with a stroke of ten feet; the fly-wheel is thirty-one feet in diameter, and weighs fifty-five tons; the horse-power is 1,400, and the number of boilers is twenty. This engine drives about a mile of shafting. Mr. Bell, the eminent English sculp tor, who designed the groups for the plinth for the great Albert Memorial in Hyde Park, London, is reproducing in terra cotta, at the celebrated works in Lambeth, the one which symbolizes America; The figures in this group are colossal, covering a ground space of fifteen feet square. It will probably le placed in the great cen tral gallery, opposite the principal en trance. An imjKrtant special exhibition will be made ly the United States Government and is being prepared under the supervis ion of a board of officers representing the several executive departments of the Gov ernment. A fine building of four and one-half acres is provided for the purpose, space in which will be occupied by the War, Treasury, Navy, Interior, I'oMloflice and Agricultural Departments and the Smithsonian Institution. The Machinery building, like the others, is already fully covered by appli cations. There arc alout 1,000 American exhibitors in this department, 1.T0 English and 150 from other European countries which is about 2.10 more than entered the Vienna Machinery Exhibition. Extra provision is being made for annexes to accommodate the lrydruulic nmchinery, the steam hammers, forges, hoisting en gines, boilers, plumbers," carpenters, etc. The Centennial grounds are situated on the western bank of the Schuylkill River, and within Fairmount Park, the largest public park In proximity to a great city in the world, and one of the most beauti ful in. the country. The park contains :,l(i0 acres, 4-")0 of whic h have been in closed for the Exhibition. Eesides this tract there will le large yards near by for the exhibition of stock, and a farm of forty-two acres has already been suitably planted for the tests of plows, mowers, reajH-Ts and other agricultural machinery. The Exhibition buildings arc ap proached by eight lines of street-cars, which connect with all the other lines in the city, and by the Pennsylvania and Heading Railroads, over the tracks of which trains will also run from the North Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, Wilming ton fc Baltimore Railroads. Thus the Exhibition is in immediate connection wiUi the entire railroad system of the country, and anyone within ninety miles of Philadelphia can visit it at no greater cost than that of carriage -hire at the Paris or Vienna Exhibition. Foil the Art Exhibition the most emi nent American artists arc understood to be at work, and it may be confidently stated that, especially in the department of land scape painting, the United States will pre sent a finer display than the public has lieen led to expect. Quite aside from the contributions of American artists, applica tions from abroad call for more than four times the exhibiting space afforded by the great Memorial Hall. Provision for the surplus w ill be made in temporary fire proof buildings, though all exhibiting nations will be represented in the central Art Gallery. The act of Congress which provided for ' celebrating the one hundretli Anni versary of American Independence, by holding an International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and Products of the Soil and STiue," authorized the creation of the United States Centennial Commis sion, and intrusted to it the management of the Exhibition. This body i.-t cm osed of two Commissioners from each State and Territory, nominated by the re spective Governors, and commissioned by the President of the United States. The enterprise, therefore, is distinctly a national one, and not, as has sometimes been stated, the work of a private corpo ration. The list of special buildings is con stantly increasing and present indications are that their total numlter will be from U00 to 2--0. Most of the important foreign nations England, Germany, Austria, France, Sweden, Egypt, Japan and others are putting up one or more structures each for exhibiting purposes or for the use of the Commissioners, exhibitors and visitors. Offices and headquarters of this kind, usually of considerable architect ural beauty, are provided by the States of Pennsylania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Con necticut. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, West Vir ginia, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa and Del aware; and it is likely that others will follow the example. The artic les to be exhibited have lieen classified in seven departments, which, for the most part, will le located in appro priate buildings, whose several areas are as follows : J)tpartnuHt . liuUd'niij.

Yet the applications of exhib itors'have lieen so numerous as to exhaust the space, aud many iniortant classes of objects must l)C provided for in special ...": I LfUlltllll.,... A ximp.ek of trade and industrial asso ciations, which require large amounts of spacer will be provided for in special buildings. Among these are the pho tographers, the carriage builders, the glass makers, the cracker bakers, the boot and shoe manufacturers, besides quite a number of individ ual exhibitors. The great demands for space will probably rentier this course necessary lo a considerable extent, csje cially for exhibitors who have been tardy in making their applications. In the main Exhibition building, for example, 8:$;,:ii0 square feet of space had been ap plied for by the beginning of October by American exhibitors only; whereas, the aggregate space which it has been possi ble to"reerve foi the United States De partment is only 100,000 square feet, about one-third of which will be consumed by passage-ways. A la roe nuuilKT of onlers and fraterni ties have signified their intention to hold gatherings at Philadelphia during the peritxl of" the Exhibition. Among those which may now be enumerated are the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, Independ ent Order of Odd Fellows; the Grand Encampment, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Grand Lodge United States, In dependent Order of Odd Fellows; Grand Commandery Knights Templar: Grand Army of the Republic; Presbyterian Synod; Caledonian Club; Portland Me chanic Blues; Welsh National Eistedf dd ; Patriotic Order Sons of America; Cali fornia Zouaves of San Francisco; an In ternational Regatta; the Life Insurance Companies; National Board of Under writers; State Agricultural Society; Second Infantry, N.

Mongol 31arrlaye CeremorJes. The ancient practice of marriage by capt lire which has left some traces even in our customs and sports notably in that popular game of kiss-in-the-ring, a mimic representation of the great game of mar riagefinds many illustrations ill Mongol life. Rubruquis, who visited the hordes of Taitary, and wasVntertaincd in the tent of the immediate successors of Yenghis ICahn, descriles a Mongol marriage thus: " Therefore, when any man hath bargained with another for a maid, the father of a damsel makes him a fea-t; in the mean time she flies away to some of her kins folk to hide herself. Then the father says to the bridegroom: My daughter is yours; take her w heresoever you can find her.' Then he and his friends seek her till they find her, and, having found her, he takes her by force and carries her to his own house." This simple form of marriage contract is still preserved among the Koraks and Tchuctchus tribes of Northeastern Silieria. There thedamsel is pursued by her admirer, and hides herself among the pologs or cabins made of skins, which form the internal compartments of their dwellings. The womankind assist her in her pretended evasion, and not till the bridegroom has caught his bride and left the impression of bis finger-nail upon her tender skin is the betrothal completed. The analogous customs in ancient Roman marriages here strike one w ith the myth of the rape of the Sabines; but wc need not go so far afield. The customs of a Welsh wedding up to a very recent date included a mimic pursuit of the bride by the bridegroom, both on horseback; and even in our English manner, when the bridegroom invariably goes to peek his bride on the wedding morn. But the value of womankind in a pastoral life where there is so much for her to do in the way of milking, cheese and-butter making ami so on brings a further element into the relationship." A price must be paid for the future companion, nnd the kalim or wedding portion enters largely info the question. A more modern Mongol wed ding is described by Hue, that most amus ing of Jesuit fathers. The religious cere monies are those of Buddhism. The mar riage is arranged by the parents, who settle the dower that is to be paid to the father of the bride by means of mediators. When the contract has been concluded the father of the bridegroom, accompanied by his nearest relatives, carries the news to the family of the bride. They prostrate themselves before the domestic altar and otl'tr up a boiled sheep's head, milk and a sash of white silk. During the repast nil the relations of the bride receive a piece of money, which they deposit in a vase filled with wine made of fermented milk (we have, or had, a similar custom of hiding a ring or money in the wedding-cake), the lather of the bride drinks the milk and keeps the money. The lamas, or priests, fix an auspicious day, when the bride groom sends a deputation to escort the bride. There is a feigned opposition to the departure of the bride, who is placed on a horse nnd led three times (note the three mystic circles) round the paternal house, and then taken at full gallop to the tent prepared for the purpose near the dwelling of her father-in-law. All the Tartars of the neighborhood repair to the wedding-feast, which consists of beasts and eatables. These go to the father of the bridegroom, ami often recoup him the sum he has paid for the bride. Rather a shame, one would think, of that selfish papa, did we not reflect that he will have to support his son aud daughter, or at all events set them up with sheep and cattle from his Ihx ks and herds. Belgmtia Magazine. Fnperfl nous Women. Marv A. Livormorcsavs in her new lect tire: Let me not be understood as de preciating marriage and setting myself against it. Nay, I magnify marriage ! True marriage gives "ao antetaste of heaven. There can be no country worth living for that is not baed on home and family resulting from marriage. Never theless I object to the theory that mar riage is the final cause of women, the sole object of her creation, because it is incor rect and harmful. The theory that mar riage is the only business of" a woman's life cannot be practically carried out with women. Facts are against it. Whi'w there arc on an average usually about 105 or 100 boys born into the world to every 100 girls there has lcen such waste of life among men through war, dangerous pur suits, drunkenness nnd profligacy that, taking the world over, there are, and al ways have been since the days of authen tic history, more marriageable women in the world than men. In lbfiO the average number of marriages in the United States was 75 to 100 marriageable women. Since then we have passed through the five-ye:.rs' war of the rebellion, in conse quence of which nearly 1,000,000 men lost their lives. In addition there has since been growing a morbid luxury among both men and women which, ndd cd to the exjiensiveness of living, have tended to greatly restrict marriage. The State census of Massachusetts, just com pleted, informs us that there are now (:J,0S4 more women than men in the State, and that the disparity is increasing yearl-. The theory that marriage offers to woman her only career of usefulness leads us to do injustice to the great army of the un married. They not only drop down in general estimation, so that we speak slightingly of them as old maids and super fluous women, but neglect to provide for them and to give them the training neces sary for their successful living and proper development. Mr. Greg, the charming English essayist, calls unmarried women " redundant" and " superfluous women," and has written an elaborate paper in an swer to the question: " Why are women redundant?" He not only attempts to an swer this question, succeeding only in differently well, but he raises another query, which he also undertakes to an swer: " What shall we do w ith these su perfluous women?" And after a full dis cussion of the whole subject, to which he carried a kindly spirit, he is unable to suggest any other provision for these su perfluous women than exportation. You must do with them as you do with any otiier commodity with which the market is overstocked as Delaware did last snni wlicn its peach crop was overwhelmingly sup' riiuous you must export them. The women must j. miniate Facts Abont British India. As abstract of the first regular and com plete census which has been taken bf the population of British India is how before us. As for the Bttuare miles of inhabited India, ftnd the average number of human beings which each square mile contains, Englishmen at home were prepared for almost any breadth of statement, and would have been shocked or surprised at nothing in which the figures were large enough to satisfy them. There are other matters on which their minds have been less open. That there are, not lour, but more nearly several thousand castes in India, is a statement so contrary to re ceived ideas that it will leave but little room for astonishment at anything which can follow it. The distinctions between one part of India and another the vast number of languages epoken, some of them, indeed, mere dialects, but others be longing to families quite separate from the rest; the strange professional av ocations of the inhabitants, and Other sttch facts which the census has now fbr the first time accurately revealed, will cause some revulsion of opinion amongEnglish men, and will furnish them at the same time with juster views of their great Eastern dependency, of the essential difficulties of dealing with it and of the conditions of ita successful management. Whether the population of British Indja has increased of late 3'ears it is not possible to say with any certainty in the almost total absence of correct previous information. It seems to be the more probable opinion that it has increased but very slightly In many parts, indeed, and particularly along the fertile valley of the Ganges, the numbers would appear to have been long ago so great that the limit had been reached which the region could support and fresh mouths would have found nothing to feed upon. The valley of the Ganges and the regions neighboring to it contain, the census in forms us, a population of more than 9(j(. 000,000, spread pretty evenly over a dis trict of little more than 200,000 square miles in extent. There is, in other words, an average of some 480 persons to the square mile. There are few cities and no extensive manufactures. The people are mostly engaged in agriculture, their chief diet is rice and water, and we are not sur. prised to be told that they are in a state of chronic starvation. J Here are vast re gions of India in which these surplus hands could find ample room but it is dif ficult to persuade them to shift their quar ters, and at any rate, under existing con ditions, impracticable for them to do so on a scale large enough to produce any per ceptible relief. Worst of all, there is no hope of improvement unless something of the kind can be done, or unless the people can be imduced to occupy themselves with some more productive lalor than the close cultivation of the soil. The evil has been of long growth. It has been the result of the too great bounty of nature, and of the absence of many of the wants which in colder regions stimulate man's industry and quicken his inventive powers. A lertile soil and a warm climate, with a consequent facility in obtaining food and contentment with the most easily-obtained vegetable diet, have thus covered the teem in sr plains of Northern and Central India with a dense throng of inhabitants, packed together far too closely to allow them to do more than to barely support life. If their state is lo be so amended it must be by some impulse from without. They are willing to co on still as their forefathers have gone on before them. As long as they can get food, and a very lit tle food is enough for them, there is not much else lor which they care. When food fails they fold their arms and die quietly, without much complaint and without much effort to save themselves There are, of course, plenty of districts in India where the conditions and habits of the people arc wholly different. Trade and manufactures already exist in India, and, as the census shows, give employ ment to many millions of her people. But the agricultural population of India com prises more than three-fillhs of the whole adult males who are engaged in any sort of occupation, and as long as the relation between it and the other class es continues what it is now we can scarcely venture to hope that the most pressing material wants of India will be supplied as well or as securely as wc could wish It is a wonderful picture that the census presents to us of India, with her total of more than 238,000,000 people, some inde pendent, but by far the greater part of them subject to direct English rule. Dif ferent classes of Englishmen will regard it, we may be sure, from extremely dif ferent points of view. The vast numbers will appeal strongly to the administrative instincts of some ot our countrymen, and will promise to furnish employment for their energies on a scale lartre enough to content the most aspiring ambition. The missionary spirit will read with pain ol the millions and tens of millions ot the Hindoos and Mohammedans in India,while to the English trader this multitude will seem not so much to possess souls that may le saved as bodies that may be clothed or fed. Our position in India is, and has long been, very far from easy. Each new piece of knowledge we acquire seems to reveal to us new tluties toward the country, until we wonder at the light heart with which our ancestors took on themselves responsibilities which our own broader backs are scarcely strong enough to support London Tivie. USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. Coffee Cake. One cup each of sugar. faiblasses and butter, four and one-third cups of flour, two cups of chopped rai sins, one cup of strong coffee poured on the butter, and when cold add the sugar. etc.. three eercs. one teaspoonful each ot cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, one-fourth of a pound of citron, one teaspoonful of soda, and one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Oatmeal Mush-Rolls. Take cold oat meal mush and work in lightly barely cnoiiuh wheat meal to make it into rolls. Too much kneading spoils it. Roll out with the hands on the molding-board into a long roll like a wooden rolling-pin, and aboui one inch ftnd a half in diameter; cut off pieces two inches long and bake on a grate in a quick Oven twenty or twen ty hve minutes, i licse can be made very ,11. 4- . .4 . . , 4 ligui, ur anu icnaer. iney are aiso very sweet.

Take ice-cold water, as for wheat gCms, and stir in good rye meal, entirely unbolted, sifting with one hand, stirring with the oiner, until tney are ot a consistency much thicker than that re quired: for wheat. Experiment with a lew at fiist, making some thicker than the others (the last about as thick as you can well stir them), so as to be sure to get the right consistency before making them for the table. Then bake them a little more than you would wheat, and serve warm or cold as you prefer. Afl'LE PrbDtNG, Fill a Well-buttered dish w ith alternate layers of bread-crumbs from a stale loaf and tart, juicy apples. Sprinkle the apples thickly with sugar, to which add a flavoring of nutmeg. Over each layer of bread-crumbs throw small pieces of fresh butter. The under layer should be bread-crumbs, the top lay er apples. Bake half to three-quarters of an hour. Just before it is done whisk the whites of three eggs to froth, with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and a bit of lemon. Spread it lightly over the whole, and return to the oven to set. WaPHLXGTOK PuDDINO. Two CUpfulS white sugar, one cupful butter, one cupful sweet milk, three eggs, nutmeg and ex tract of lemon. Beat the eggs separately, add three teacupfuls of flour, in which a half teaspoonful of soda has been well rubbed and a full teaspoonful of cream of tartar added (sifting after adding these). Bake in shallow pans or "jelly-cake pans." Peel and grate two large, juicy apples, and the best of one lemon, also the strained juice, one heaping teacupful of fine sugar and one egg; boil in a stew pan ; when cool spread over the cakes, placing one upon the other as with jelly cake; sift powdered sugar over the top, and serve with rich lemon-sauce. In transplanting all kinds of budding out plants care must be taken to provide the very best compost that can be pro cured; and, if you make it yourself, be sure to incorporate with it a good share of sharp grits to make the soil light and friable and prevent it from becoming sodden and sour by the use ot too much water. If possible, it is always better to purchase the needful supply of potting sou trom a norist ; out it tins is not ob tainable, and sheep postures are near at hand, the soil under the roots of its trees. mixed with one-quarter of its bulk in sand. and one-quarter of common garden soil, will make a compost containing a large supply of plant food. I have seen the most luxuriant callas, carnations, roses, iuchias, ivies ana geraniums grown in such a potting soil, and no green-house benches ever exhibited greater perfection ot plant growth. Uultivator. The Stanley Expedition. Mr. Stanley, the Central-African cor-re.-pondent of tUvJIer'iltlnnd the Telegraph, may net be the equal of Dr. Livingstone In any respect, except daring and a kind of dogged fidelity to the work be has set himself, but Mr. Stanley at the head of adequate force will in two years do as much for geographical knowledge as the Scotch missionary did in his whole life. He can go on with his followers where Livingstone must have recoiled. If the jungle is impassible be can cut a path. If the desert is barren he can carry provis ions. If the marsh is deadly he can lose a few followers. If the natives arc hostile he can compel a peace by a resolute and victorious little war. His progress is that of an invading force, only to be stopped by defeat; and he sails everywhere upon Lake Nyanza. the inland sea of Africa which I.iving.-tonc could only gaze at; cross it, and coast it, and traverse it, when Livingstone could only wander on its banks, and make observations as exten sive as he pie i.-es, in a tranquillity as great ns that of Greenwich. If he is not stopped by some frightful epidemic we shall, when be returns, know as much about the lake system of Central Af rica mid the origins of the Nile and Congo as if they were in Europe, and a great deal more than the Egyptians, who ought long ago to have known all about their own river, have ever succeeded in acquiring. We do not know that the ob ject of the expedition which, after all, is the advertisingot two newspapers though a ierfectly justifiable, is a very ennobling one; nor have we an enthusiastic apprecia tion ,of its leader, whose character, like that of most successful " correspondents," 'travelers'' and daring adventurers, strikes us as"kiuder mixed;" but there can lx? no question that he will do what geographers want to have done as no trav eler, even il lu had the enterprise of Bel zoui, or the pertiiitt' liy of Lander, or the self-sacrifice of Livingstone, could possi Lly accoiubli!. Hi", xpeditiou will be a landmark in the history of geographical discovery. London Ltaminer, A Safe's .Money -Drawer. The other day a burglar was discharged from the. Penitentiary at Fort Madison, after a confinement of three years. After his release he sauntered into the office of Messrs. Triblecock fc Johnson, who man ufacture chairs with convict labor, and, noticing the door of the safe standing open, asked the book-keeper why it was that he didn't lock his safe. The book keeper responded that the money-drawer was locked, and he didn't think any one could get in during the few moments in which he might at times be absent from the office. Th ex-convict offered to wager that he could get into the monej' drawer in a very short space of time, and on his promise not to injure the safe his wager was accepted. The accomplished sinner immediately proceeded to draw out the slats forming the pigeon-holes around the monev-vault, which are only glued in, and in a little less than sixty seconds he stood before the astonished ink-slinger with the box in his hand and its contents open for inspection. We are not " up" in safe construction, but we are informed that with the great majority of safes the money-drawer is constructed in a manner similar to the one which was so successully operated upon at Fort Madison and that it is the simplest kind of a trick to remove the box entirely from its fastenings and gain access either through the top or sides. The convict who so successfully per formed this feat is named Hagan, and after his release he was immediately ar rested on a warrant from Keokuk and taken to that city to answer to a charge of stealing an overcoat before being sen tenced to the Penitentiary. It was proven beyond a doubt that he stole the coat, but it was also shown that he was forced to do it to keep from freezing, and the Judge dismissed the case with the remark that he should have been strongly tern pted, if similarly circumstanced, to do the same thing himself. Burlington (Ioua) Hack Eye. The superstition which prevailed in New England in colonial days has left a trace in the present generation. A mem ber of the jury in the Langmaid murder case, at Pembroke, N.

Keeping Sweet-i'otutoes. The cultivators of sweet-potatoes in the South do not, find it very difficuit to keep the tubers through winter in very much the same manner as our Northern farmers do their Irish potatoes. But the climate of the two regions of country is so widely diticrent mat a method ot preservation which answers admirably for one may be totally unsutted to the other. Jn addition to this, the maturity of the tubers has much to do with their keeping qualities, and this is just where the Northern-grown fall short of the proper conditions for making a good and safe beginning. The tubers are very likely to be half-ripe when frosts ami cool weather hasten the dig ging, consequently they are more or less bruised and broken in handling, decay commencing soon after being taken from the field. But if the tubers are really sound and mature they may be kept through winter with proper care. In the first place, they must be thoroughly dried before storing. This drying is of the utmost importance, for if packed away wet, or even with the skins moist, decay is certain, and in a very short time. If a dry, warm room is available, then very little packing will be required. A layer of dry leaves in the bottom of the barrel and then a layer of potatoes, and so on until the barrel is full, will be suf ficient. But if the potatoes are to be stored in a cellar, however dry and warm, it is seldom safe to risk the tubers in any thing but kiln-dried sand. The potatoes should be carefully packed in barrels, then the dry sand poured on until all the inter stices between are filled up. The barrels should also be elevated a few inches from the bottom of the cellar, in order to pre vent any dampness from entering from that direction. Chaff or cut straw7 will, of course, answer as well as leaves for packing, but, aside from keeping dry and warm, the main thing is to secure good, well-ripened and sound tubers to begin with. The largest and best-matured specimens should be selected before packing, for feed, and it is always well to keep them separate from the main crop. ltural New Yorker. High Farming. The School of Iedlvldaal Instruction, founded by Prof. W. P. Jones, at Evanston, 111., where each scholar is taught and ad. vances independently, instead of in rigid, fraded-scnool fashion, is for both sexes. ext term opens Dec 6. A new series of revenue frauds, by repeated use of stamps on casks of lag6f, beer, is reported lo have been disctrwired at St. Louis, The Englinh Agricultural Gazette con tains the following admirable article on farming: " What arc you giving for oats just now, Mr. Drake?" we asked, when engaging a carriage at a livery-stable. " Thirty-four shillings a quarter, sir," was the reply. " Thirty-four shillings a quarter! W hy, you can buy fair oats for a shilling a bushel less than that." " Yes, sir, I know that, too; but I have long since learnt that it is never good policy to buy or use a second-rate article." To what department of tanning, we wonder, does not this maxim apply, and in what department does it not need en forcement? Second-rate horses incur as great a daily cost, and yield much less in return. Second-rate food for horses, cheaper though it be, produces " foot pounds" of force per shilling of its cost. Second-rate implements produce an in ferior result at more expense of draught. Second-rate laborers often do but half per shilling of their smaller wages. Second rate varieties of wheat, oats, barley, beans and peas extract and use just as much fertility from the soil in the production of their inferior yield. Second-rate cattle consume as much food, yielding perhaps but a pound of meal or a galloa of milk a day, increasing meanwhile little, some times nothing, or even less than nothing, daily, while first-rate stock, yielding a double or even a quadruple return, con sume no more in doing it. Second-rate management generally may be quite as costly as that which is first-rate, differing from it far more in its deficient yield than in the expense at which it is directed. Take the live stock of the farm for ex ample: How many head of stock on most farms under listless management are there not which are doing literally nothing, making no progress, if kept as growing or trotting stock, or improving but a lit tle compared with others which are pros perous and productive. They are con suming just as much, and in the one case are mere machines for destroying farm produce, in the other they are machines for wasting iL We believe that next to skill in choosing or in breeding stock the profit of the stock-keeper depends on promptitude and resolution in sell in?, parting with, dispatching it as soon as it is seen that it is not prospering. Of course if every one acted on a maxim of this kind the value of such stock in the mar ket would soon reach the level which properly belongs to its character, and the loss on sales might then almost equal the loss in keeping; but in the meantime those who act with greatest promptitude in weeding out inferior stock certainly have the advantage, The fact that stock which is not prospering is just a ma chinery for the destruction of farm prod uce ousrht to startle manv a man who will read these words. Let him remember, too, that all live stock are inevitably ma chines for destrovintr a certain portion daily, which is as directly wasted and . . . , A ourni up in every animai mai reeus as if it had been put on the fire. How much crreater the premium then on keeping cattle, whose fattening is done in a life time of 700 days, than on keeping tnose whose fattening requires 1,200 days or more. The weeding of the llock and herd upon a farm 13 a part of live stock fnnrr agement which needs as fntit'h prompti tude and decision as the weeditig of crops and fields. And this brings us to the other great agricultural department to which Mr. Darke's maxlfll erpeciftlly applies. If it be unquestionable pbiicy to confine our selves to first-rate articles when choosirig the individual animals or the best varie ties of the different crops we cultivate, how much more obviously is it not necessary that we avoid devoting the fertility of our soil, or any prjrtiOii of It, to the growth of plants which not only are not marketable; but which are mischievous. Why should -weeds be, as they seem, from almost universal practice and expe rience to be, a necessary part of farm man agement? They occupy the space in which good plants would grow they consume the food on which good plants would prosper their worthless live in volve expenditurej. which might other wise have gone to increase the number ol valuable lives upon the farm, Or the abtb ity of the farm to feed tbein. The fight with weeds costs far more on the farm which is always foul than on the farm which is always clean. And more than that, wc engage to say that, given a larrn overrun with thistles, bindweed, couch and coltsfoot, at the commencement of a tenancy, the man who at the end ot ten yearB finds he has succeeded in getting it and keeping It clean has spent le?s in tallow work and wages tuantne"man wuo, havine all these years maintained an un successful fight, at length leaves the farm but little cleaner than he found it. If it be Impolitic to buy or keep or use a "second-rate article,' as we learnt from the experience we have quoted, it is unquestionably the extreme of folly to permit such mere incumbrance, wortu lessness and wastefulness as we incur by harboring weeds. And so ends for the present this short agricultural homily, founded on the text with w hich the maxim of the livery-stable keeper furnished us.

Whoever helps humanity in its struggle with its inherent weaknesses and diseases, td brr or cure, is its benefactor. Ignorance is not only of itself a cause of disease and mortality, but it is the enemy of every effort to cure or mitigate. iSotliing will so speedi ly remove this cause as knowledge (an ele mentary one, at least) of the diseases to which we are heir, ns well as those superin duced by our own imprudence, lir. Fierce has rendered, In our judgment, a benefac tor's service, both to the alilieted and to the profession, in his diagnosis of the diseases treated of, and in the presentation of the philosphic. principles involved in their caustJ aud removal. He is sparing of remedies, and usually vrcscribes such as are safe in unskilled hands. As a book merely of ah stract knowledgcrit is exceedingly readable and interesting, especially the followmgsub jeets: Cerebral Physiology, Human Temper aments, Fseudo-Hyulene, the Nursing of the Sick, Sleep, Food, Ventilation, etc. In one chapter on another subject, so delicate in its nature that 11 is snui up ueyona cue oomain of warninsr to all but physicians, so ac cursed in its results in modern society, he is most explicit, and, alike true to God, to vir- cue, 10 me ami 10 Biicieiv, suuwo niv uum as presented in the teachings of Scripture that life begins with conception with great force, to which is added faithful warnings Friee of the Medical Adviser $1.50, sent postpaid.

Schenck's Mandrake Piias, for the Cure of Liver Complaint, etc. These p!Hs are alterative and nroduce a henlthv action on the liver without the least danger, as they are free from calomel, and yet more eracacious in restoring a neaitny action or trie liver. These remdts are a certain cure for Consumn tion, as the Pulmonic Syntp ripens the matter and purities the blood.
