A Curious Relic.
A teamster on the railroad, whilD bath
ing in Whitewater, pome thirty miles east
of ban Bernardino, observed a dark, circu
lar object in the stream which, on being
brought to the surface, proved to be a truly
marvelous piece of workmanship. The
article in question is composed of a cer
tain peculiar slate-colored stone, similar
to that usually employed by the Indians
of British Columbia for the manufacture
of pipes, and is not tound anywhere in
this State. In form it is circular, being
somewhat thaped like a large dinner-plate ;
the bottom for about six inches in diame
ter is perfectly smooth, and has a circular
orifice in the center about half an inch in
diameter. Toward the rim it presents a
pingularly convex appearance; this rim on
tlie" outer surface is surrounded with a
wreath of grapevines, so faultlessly en
graved that even the most minute filers ot
the leaves arc clearly outlined. On the
upper surface of the rim is a peculiar
border, composed first of two parallel
lines extending around the entire rim,
with an interval of about two inches be
tween the lines; in the center of these
lines, running at ripht angles, at regular
intervals, are smaller lines converging
from the inner Hue in the form of quarter
circles, meeting in the center, where they
pass through ovals, ending on the outer
line in the center of a crescent facing out
ward; while traversing the whole is a
waving line extending around the center
of the outer lines. The center of this cu
rious work, however, is the most astonish
ing portion. On it appears a marvtlously
beautiful and faultlessly executed wreath
cf flowers, leaves, vines and ecroll-work,
every bud, leaf and flower being perfectly
natural and life-like to the minutest de
tails. The whole is polished in the high
est manner, and is as smooth as glass.
The entire workmanship, in beauty of de
sign and 'delicacy of finish, excels the
choicest productions of modern artists,
and shows that the people by whom it was
executed had reached an advanced stage
of civilization. It is almost w ith a feeling
of reverence that wc gaze upon this relic
of a past race, of whom no history has
yet been found, other than the ruins scat
tered on the plains, and whose origin and
history are enveloped in impenetrable ob
scurity, which probably never will le
penetrated. The plate is in a remarkable
state of preservation, owing no doubt to
the indestructible quality of the stone of
which it is composed. Sati Bernardino

Deceptions In Candy-Makings
Not only adulteration but deception is
very widely practiced by cheap candy
sellers. I'eanuts are substituted for al
monds, wheat sirup for gum-arabic, and
the commonest and worst articles of fla
voring and coloring are used with absolute
recklessness as to consequences.
Poisonous substances are used in color
ing less frequently .than they were some
years ago, owing to the fact that a good
many inquests were held and post-mortems
made; but they are still used, for the rea
son that chrome yellow and chrome green
are much cheaper than pure vegetable
colors.
The great attraction about fancy condi
ments is their flavor, and especially is this
the case with confectionery. Fortunes
may be made by the use of some new and
peculiarly-delicious flavor in confection
cry; and, so long as the human palate is
pleasantly titillated, it makes little differ
ence to the manufacturer of edibles what
means are employed. To dine upon an
ancient cat, dressed by a first-class French
cook, would, no doubt, be very
pleasant, so long as one is igno
rant of what creature he is eating; ami it
ia said that there was once a Spaniard in
Morocco who made a fortune by selling
what people long believed to be pork
pies, but which were really pies of human
llesh. The deceptions of the cook and
confectioner are the most difficult to de
tect, and, therefore, the most dangerous.
especially in this age of chemical discov
ery. It is safe to say that the ingredients
occasionally used in thellavoring of cheap
candies are not only disgusting but harm
ful, and the war of competition is driving
manufacturers to novel devices, which
neern to be fathered by diabolical ingenu
ity. Of course, the worst devices cannot
be successfully practiced in the larger
manufactories, because of the impossibili
ty of keeping secrets where several hun
dred employes are working. But what is
done in those smaller stores, where street
eddlers manufacture their abominations,
had better be left to the imagination. It
will suflice to observe that sugar sweetens
all things, and that good fruit flavor and
vegetable extracts are not as cheap as dirt

An Anecdote of Jules Janin.
Nevertheless, he had a keen eye to his
own interest, as the following story will
show : When quite a young man a certain
neighbor of his owed him fifty francs.
One day when he went to ask lor it he
found his debtor in great trouble. 44 1 can
not pay j-ou," groaned the man. " I have
no money; I am ruined; in a few hours
my landlord will distrain for his rent, and
carry away all I possess in the world."
Jules face fell, for his finances were very
low just then. Suddenly an idea struck
him. " You have a dozen or two of ex
cellent wine in your cellar, you told me
the other day; let me have that, and I will
give you an acquittance for the fifty
francs." "Impossible; the porter will not
let it pass out." " I will take my chance
of that if you will agree to my proposi
tion." The debtor did agree ana the re
ceipt was signed. An hour afterward a
man in a workman's dress, with his hat
slouched over his eyes, appeared at the
door with two wine-baskets tilled with bot
tles. 'I have come to change some wine
that was 6ent in to Mons. ' (mention
ing the debtor's name) ' the other day by
mistake," he says in a gruff voice. The
porter, innocent and unsuspecting, shows,
the way to the cellar; the man deposits th
bottles he has brought, takes away those
he finds there, and goes on his way rejoi?
in ir.
The man was Jules Janin, and the bot
tles he left behind were filled with very
xcellent water! Temple Bar.
Culture a Cleans, "ot an End.
We must not make culture an idol, as is
the fashion, but regard it as merely one of
the forces that go to keep the world in
motion. It is a means, not an end. It is
no more to be worshiped for itself than
is the knowledge of the multiplication
table. We should not let ourselves le
swamped in our luxuries. The man
should always be Itetter than his surround
ings; he should absorb what is good in
them, and stand altove them. It is to the
credit of a man to rise purified by his ex
pel ience, however bitter it may be, and
certainly he should not fall into joyous
self-content because he has knowledge ot
bric-a-brac. That is no better than the
strength of a giant who forever lolls upoa
the sofa. The collection of curiosities, the
ransacking of the globe alter singularities
and the consequent selfish thrilling w ith
enjoyment are not enough. Indeed, the
mere enjoyment is in itself idle, unpro
ductive and, if it interferes with work,
harmful, however delightful it may "be.
That it is delightful no one can deny, but
just as fear of starvation is, however dis
guised, one of the strongest inspirations
of toil known to man, the evident danger
of comfort, pleasantly-won distinction
and elegance is, that they produce sloth,
or passive content with thincs as they are.
T. S. Perkint, in October Atlantic . . .
- Ax elephant in Calcutta had a disease in
his eyes. For Ihree days he had been
completely blind. His owner, an engineer
officer, asked the doctor 'if Ire Vnld do
anything to relieve the poor animal: The
doctor said that he wuld try the nitrate of
silver, which was a remedy commonly ap-
?lied to similar disease in the human eye.
he large animal was ordered to lie down,
and at first, on the application of the
remedy, raised a most extraordinary roar
at the accute pain which" it occasioned.
The effect, however, was wonderful. The
eye was in a manner restored and the ani
mal could partially see. The next day
when he was brought and heard the
doctor's voice he lay down of himself,
placed his enormous head on one side,
curled up his trunk, drew in his breath
just like a man about to endure an opera
tion, gave a sigh of relief when it wa3
over, and then by trunk and gesture evi
dently wished to express his gratitude.
How They Do It in Mississippi.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Mississippi have telegraphed to
Atty.-Gen. Pierrepont, sflying that they
are not opposed to the organization of
militia in that State. Oh, no! They are
merely opposed to the use of money ia
support of such militia. Thene virtuous
Democratic committeemen are the coun
terpart of the temperance man down East,
who was in favor of the Maine Liquor law,
but oppoted to it enforcement. Alter hav
ing filed their bill for an injunction re
straining the Auditor of State from disr
hurting any money for the equipment and
support of the milllia, they take pleasure
in assuring" the Attorney-General that
"everywhere throughout the State the
most profound peace and good order pre
vail." We were assured recently by a
gentleman from Mississippi, familiar with
the situation there, that the white Demo
crats who instigated the Clinton riot, with
the purpose of breaking up a Republican
meeting, were known in the neighborhood
as the " best citizens" lawyers, doctors,
bank Presidents and cashiers. Doubtless
some of them are among the signers of
the telegram t the Attorney-General.
This, then, is the situation: Jones, Smith
and Ilobinson, residents of Clinton,
being Democrats, determine that a
Republican meeting Miali hot be
held in their county. A Republi
can meeting being assembled, they
bargain with the managers of the meet
ing to consent to a joint discussion. The
Democratic orator speaks first, speaks nil
hour without Interruption, but as soon as
the Republican speaker takes the stump
Jones and his friends begin to shoot
" niggers" on the outskirts of the crowd
and so break up the meeting. Having
accomplished their purpose they telegraph
to Jackson and other neighboring towns
for White League troops to come and save
the whites from a negro massacre. The
troops scour the country, kill a score or so
of negroes and drive the rest into
the woods. Gov. Ames telegraphs
the President, asking national aid to put
down an insurrection. The President re
plies, recommending the organization of
a militia force, and promises that the na
tional troops stationed in Mississippi
shall protect the State Executive in the
organization of such militia. The Gov
ernor calls for troops and they respond.
Rut now Jones, Smith and Robinson, hav
ing washed away all marks of blood from
their garments, appeal to the courts to re
strain the State Auditor from disbursing
money for the support of the militia; and,
having obtained the injunction, they tele
graph the Attorney-General that they are
not opposed to the organization of
the militia, but they are opposed to
paying the troops; and they say in con
clusion: " We take pleasure in assuring
you that everywhere throughout the State
the most profound peace and good order
prevail." They might as well have said:
" We take pleasure In assuring you that
we have killed as many .'niggers' as we
like just now. We do not wish to kill
any more unless they have the impudence
to assemble in political council. We have
taken the precaution to prevent the organ
ization of companies of militia which jou
advised by restraining the Auditor from
paying the necessary excuses. We have
taken this course because, backed by mili
tia, the Governor would be able to protect
black Republicans from assassination
should they assemble in council. If they
meet again we wantto kill enough of them
to frighten the rest away, because we pro
pose to carry the next" election for the
Democratic party by intimidation. Mean
time, dear Mr. Pierrepont, we beg to as
sure you that throughout the State the
most profound peace and good order pre
vail, because we have no occasion just
now to go shooting niggers." It occurs to
us that Jones, Smith and Robinson ought
to be tried, convicted as murderers and
hung by their several necks till they are
dead. Chicago Inter-Ocean, Sept. 28.
A .Modest Showing.
What Democracy could do for the na
tion can be best known by what it has
done for a single city. It has had,
through a long series of years, undisputed
control of the city of New York. What
has it accomplished there to recommend
it as worthy of national control? Let us
see what its claims amount to. It has
plundered the people through dishonest
officials so that the amount of its steal
ings alone would make a respectable na
tional debt. Within five years not less
than $20,000,000 have been stolen not
wasted by reckless expenditures but
actually stolen from the city treasury by
official thieves holding leading positions
in the Democratic p;irty, and kept in
them through the influence of that cor
rupt organization. The ponding suit
against Tweed for the recovery of $f!,000,
000 stolen from the city is but one item in
the long chapter of plunder.
It costs, according to the Comptroller's
statement, about $:).5,000,000 to pay the
yearly expenses of the city. This is about
equal to a tax of $3-3 on every man,
woman and child in the city.
The same Democratic economy prac
ticed in national affairs would cost the
people for the support of the Government
the snug little sum of $1,400,000,000 year
ly. Yet this 13 the party that asks for the
control of the national finances.
The city of New York ha3 a debt
amounting, in the aggregate, to $100,000,
000. This would be equal to about $100
for each man, woman and child in the
metropolis. Apply this ratio to the na
tion, of 40,000,000, and we have for a na
tional debt the trifling sum of $6,-100,000,.
000, the interest on which, at 0 percent.,
would be $:J84,O00,OO0, or about $100,000,
000 for interest alone more than the en
tire 3-carly expenditures of the National
Government at the present time. Why
are these points overlooked bv the speak
ers and press of motlern Democracy?
Why deal in charges against the Republi
can party? Why not occasionally change
the subject to the beauties of the Demo
cratic system, as enjoyed by the citizens
of New York? If Democracy has any
claims upon the people, where are they?
From what city, or county, or State do
they come? It has none! 1 he city of
New York is but a specimen of its control
in other places. Its restoration to power
would bankrupt the nation. Its dishon
esty and extravagance would lead to repu
diation, and this to national ruin. liepub

llowllng Dervishes
. A correspondent writes of the howling
dervishes of Cairo :
All divested themselves of their outer
garments preparatory to the great physical
effort they were about td make. Their
turbans were also removed, which allowed
their unshorn hair to flow loosely over
their shoulders in every hue, from th
deep auburn of the lad of twenty to the
6ilvery locks of the 6eer of threescore and
ten. What a wealth of hair thus presented tJ
the view! Over the shoulders and down the"
backs cf many of the company fell those
rich, luxuriant tresses, the product clears,
of which the most ambitious maiden
might be justly proud. Here were, too,
those raven locks that the man .of fashion
would esteem himself happy in possess
ing; while again the snow-white, silvery
hair of others, which bespoke the lapse
of years, claimed for them, if not on other
grounds, at least reverence and respect.
There they stood these forty Mos
lem devotees girded for the work abd
nervously awaiting the signal tf their
Chief fltf Engaging in a scene which
i'or extravagance find grotesqueness is
hot to be equaled by anything in
the world done in . the name . of re
ligion. A series of profound inclina-'
tions rapidly performed j until from sheer
physical inability they were unable to
continue, was now in the order of the
service. The word 'being given by the
chief, down went the entire body amid a
great clatter of voices; and as quickly re
covered their original positions only to
bend forward again and again as rapidly
and continuously as their strength and
their training enabled them to do. The
natural effect of the movement was to
throw forward the hair that hung loosely
over their shoulders over their faces, and,
as the obeisances Were exceedingly rapldj
the long tresses went flying through the
air, now lashing them in their faces and
obstructing their view, and the next mo
ment dashed disorderly and wildly over
their shoulders. Added to this, as if to
increase the weirdness of the scene, were
also introduced cymbals, tambourines a
kettle-drum and fifes, all of which, to
gether with the shouting of the dervishes
themselves, contributed to form such a
pandemonium of utter extravagance as to
necessitate one to ask himself whether in
reality we were not in the company of luna
tics. Occasionally one of the body was
taken from the ranks and placed facing
the others, obviously with the view of
stimulating the flagging, and then en
sued a scene still wilder and weirder than
before whooping, shouting, salaaming, all
mingled with the deafening noise of tam
bourines and fifes; so that if only the
light of day were withdrawn and the lurid
glare of a few flickering torches cast over
the scene one would necessarily conclude
that he had fallen amid the members of
the nether region.

An Unfortunate King.
Our Madrid correspondent has given a
picture of King Alfonso's life that will
excite the pity even of his enemies. When
the poor youth was taken from his books
and put at the head of the most disorgan
ized nation in Western Europe he was
made to believe that his mere presence in
Madrid would bring the Carlists over to
his flag, fill an empty exchequer anel gen
erally banish misrule. But after he has
been a King eight months he finds the po
litical prospect dreary, and his own exist
ence so dull that he may, perhaps, envy
his cousin, Don Carlos, the excitement of
a campaign among the Basque Mountains.
The Carlists are still fighting hard; there
is no money in the Treasury; the army,
the navy, the civil-service and the clergy
are all more or less unpaid; the Ministers
disagree as to the only way of giving
Spain a constitution ; the lack of a direct
ing mind is as great as it was in the worst
days of the Federal Republic, and the poor
young King feels that he can do noth
ing to satisfy the profound discontent
of his subjects. It is hard for a bright,
ardent lad to feel that he is doing no good.
He must find life terribly dull in his great
palace, shut out as he is by Spanish eti
quette from natural intercourse with his
fellow-creatures, and forced to put up with
the prosy dignity of a grandee whom the
Ministry keep in the palace to play the
part of a male duenna, by guarding his
political virtue from contamination by the
whisperings of their rivals-. He must
think it hard that he should be made the
6lave of an iron routine at every hour in
the day, and have less freedom than the
meanest of his subjects. He must think
it strange that political necessities should
force the Ministry to examine every tele
gram and letter he receives from his
mother. As he is said to be a youth of
good sense, he cannot help knowing that
compulsory attendance at carnivals, pro
cessions and religious ceremonies is not
the way to regenerate Spain. We cannot,
then, wonder that he seeks refuge in a
country-house from the splendid dullness
to which he is condemned by the political
necessities of the Ministry. London Time.
An Enterprising Undertaker.
Tliis is the only country in the world
where people are too enterprising, but that
they do occasionally show an unnecessary
degree of vigor in this country is certain.
An instance in point occurred in Senator
Sharon's State only a few days ago. A
well-known man in Eureka was very sick ;
he was, in fact, sick enough to be consid
ered a hopeless case by the doctors, and
the news came to the ears of one of the
6ick man's debtors, an undertaker. The
undertaker was a native American, with
an eye for an opportunity. He no sooner
heard of his creditor's deathly prospect
than he proceeded to make hay while the
sun shone. He at once plunged into
genuine preparations for the proper inter
ment of the body of the sick man. The
lumber for a coffin was sawed out and fin
ished in the highest style of undertaker's
art, the most gorgeous trappings were
secured and every arrangement made for
putting the expected body under ground
in an imposing manner and subsequently
sending in a bill to offset the debt which
the executors would have tocollect. Every
thing was ready for the funeral but the
corpse, and that didn't come. The sick
man suddenly became convalepcent, and
no sooner was he on his feet than became
around to collect what had been due him.
Then came a scene which, if the local
journal docs not exaggerate, must have
been richness itself". The undertaker
wanted to be reimbursed for his outlay on
the funeral fixings, and the proposition
naturally astounded the convalescent man.
There was a very Eharp discussion, which
terminated in the Western wa'. There
was a fight, and the undertaker was the
man who got whipped. St. Loui Repub
lican. On the lSlh of May last a registered
letter containing 10 English money was
put in the New York Postoffice for New
Lebanon, N. Y., and some six weeks af
terward the Postoffice Department re
ceived a complaint of its non-delivery. A
careful investigation was made, and the
letter was traced into the hands of the
mail route agent, w ho declared that he had
Eut the package in the pouch for New
ebanon, but the Postmaster at that place
declareel he had never received the pack
age. The route agent having failed to
report the refusal of the Postmaster to re
ceipt for the package had it been deliv
ered, or otherwise having failed to deliver
it, was dischargee!, and the matter Tested
until the Postmaster at Bristol, Pa., re
ported a registered package for New Leb--.aoon
as having carelessly been sent to his
office. Inquiry revealed the fact that this
was the .package that was lost last May.
It is suplosedthat the pouch, after being
emptjed at New Lebanon, was returned to
the New York office, and was stored away
with the reserved pouches until the time
it was again put to use for the Bristol
mail, and taat the registered letter in ques
tion "had lain in it during the whole
period. The Postmaster at New Lebanon
has been recommended tor removal, for
negligence in failing to see that the pouch
was entirely emptied when he received it.
The package has finally reached the per
son to whom it was addressed.

To keep fruit fresh in jars, use only
self-sealing class jars. Put into a porce
lain-lined preserving-kettle enough to fill
two quart tars; sprinkle on sugar one
quarter pound ; place over a slow fire and
heat through not boil. While the fruit
is being heated keep the jars fllled with
moderately hot water. As soon as the
fruit is 'readjr empty the water from the
jars, fill to the brim with fruit anel seal
immediately. As it cools a vacuum is
formed, which prevents bursting. In this
way every kind of fruit will retain its
flavor. Sometimes a thick, leathery mold
forms on the ton. if so, all the better
The plan of keeping the jars full of hot
water is merely to prevent the danger of
cracking when the hot fruit is inserted
Some prefer to set the bottles full of cool
water in a boiler of water and bent all to
gether gradually. But the other way is
much simpler and equally ellective. A.

Preparation of Wax,
IIayixg employed the bees to extract
every particle of honey from the combs.
put the latter in a clean boiler with some
soft water; simmer over a clear fire until
they are melted ; pour a quart or so into a
canvas bag, wide at the top and tapering
tlownwaret like a jelly-hag; hold this over
a tub of cold water; the boiling liquor
will immediately pass away, leaving the
liquefied wax and the dross in the ba
have ready a piece of smooth board, of
such a length that one end may rest at the
bottom of the tub and the other at its top ;
upon this inclined plane lay your reeking
bag, but not so as to touch the cold water;
then, by compressing tlie bag with any
convenient roller, the wax will ooze
through and run down the board into the
cold water, on the surface of which it will
set in thin flakes; empty the elross out of

wax, and proceed as before, until all has
been pressed. When finished, collect the
wax from the surface of the cold water,
put it into a clean saucepan with very lit
tle water, melt it carefully over a slow
fire, skim off the elross as it rises, then
pour it into molds, or shapes, and place
them where they will cool slowly. The
w7ax may be rendered still more purely by
a second melting anei molding, and may
be bleached by running it into thin rib

action of a grass piat for several days and
nights, taking care the sun is not alloweel

Importance of rianting- Forest Trees.
We are shockeel every year with news
paper accounts of the terrible simoons that
pass over tlie Western prairies, demolish
ingbuildings, fences anel crops ; the natural
cause of which is want of timber for protec
tion. 1 he lailure ot springs and streams is
attributable to the same cause. A well
wooded country is always a well-watered
one. it is, or should be, the great aim of
the husbandman to so improve his prop
erty as to enhance its value, by which
means he becomes wealthy. The growth
et timber requires time, but it increases in
value j early with time, anel the sooner it
is planted the sooner it will begin to pay.
It will pay, too, in so man- ways. In a
few vears vou can cut out and sell hoorv-
polcs ; in a few more j'earsyou can cut out
rails, and all this time it is protecting you
from storms anel drought protecting the
health of your family and stock.
Now I will tell you how to grow forest
trees; my experience in growing trees will
enable me to do this. The most profitable
forest trees are chestnut, hickory, shell
bark, black, white and Spanish oaks;
these all grow readily from the nut if
planted just w here the tree is to remain
and grow, but will rarely4ear transplant
ing. w The nuts should be planted in
autumn, before they get dry; if the germ
ol the nut becomes dry it is killed, and
w ill never germinate ; therefore, the nuts,
w hen gathered, should be packed in moist
moss or sand, and kept in a cool place un
til planted; many plantations have failed
for want of this precaution.
The ground should be prepared proper
ly in advance of the time lor planting.
Ground that has been recently planted
with corn, oats, barley or wheat will be
in good condition with one plowing; but
prairie land that has not been farmed
should have at least two plowings.
Select the location for your woodland
with some care anel, having the soil in
good condition, proceed to mark off with
shallow furrow 3 about three feet apart
drop the nuts in these furrows, one at a
place, about one foot apart, and cover
with a corn-cultivator, the middle teeth
out, running lengthwise, the horse walk
ing in the furrow. Thi3 may be done
any time in the fall before the ground
freezes. Winter-freezing will not hurt
the nuts; the 3'oung shoots will come up
earlj- in the spring and should be well
cultivated for two summers, and kept
clean of weeds and grass.
Re careful to leave space for wagon
roads at proper elistances for removing the
timber fls wanted ; they wijl also be useful
for ventilation. No variety of live stock
can be admitted, as they would destroy
the whole matter. About the fifth year
hoop-poles may be cut of the oaks and
hickories, and may be continued annually
for many years. A careful man, of some
judgment, should pass along each row of
trees once a year for some years with a
sharp pruning-knife in his hand, and
where he finds a tree growing forkeel cut
Off ohe of the branches; but tlie small
branches tht grow out from the stem
should ht be cut; they cttse tJie stent to
grow thick and strong, and will be smoth
ered off in time, as the forest becomes
dense and thick. The distance between
the wagon-roads must be regulated by the
judgment of the farmer, as it would be
d:fllCU!t tr rinove timber as wanted
without them.
I have been particular in describing the
minutiae of this matter, and if properly
followed there will be no failure. The

i'tfrtane to" recommend itself;- 44 A. J".,"

' rreservliisr and Protecting; Wood.
It has been observed that dwelling
Imns and other structures in European
countries, although n'CL "it ''fftfof u t'je
modern sense of tlie term, are practically
very nearly so. They do not burn with
anything like the rapidity with which the
frail, combjUstible tenements in American
towns are uesuoyeil. Df ring the war be
tween France and Prussia, in which many
buildings were set on fire, accidentall
and otherwise, it was found that a large
proportion of them resisted the flames by
Virtue of the placter which entered in a
liberal degree into all parts of the'r
structure. Walls of lath and plaster were
found uninjured when all surrounding
parts were destroyed ; and heavy timbers
imbedded and wholly covered with mor
tar or plaster have proved, in numerous
instances, almost indestructible by fire, as
well as proof against decay or the attacks
of insects.
This element in house-building, where
stone and iron cannot, for any reason, be
ttsf'l as the material for the frame, is de
serving of more general attention, ft 3 it
presents a methoel by which, without
great expense, the danger of swift de
struction by fire can be almost wholly
avoided, and this in a class of buildings
whiih, it h.ls been thought, must be suf
fereel to take their chance, ihaslJitiCh
they arc limited in the matter of cost. To
surrounel the timbers with plaster, though
a very effectual process, is not so cheap
or convenient as could be desired ; and a
method of treating the wood itself is now
proposed, by which it is hot only pre
served from decay, bitt the same protec
tion from fire as that derived from a plas
ter coating is in some degree afforded. The
process referred to haslatcly been tested
in England, anel with very satisfactory
results. It consists in first kiln-drying
the wood and thus depriving it of moisture
and of volatile and inflammable matter.
It is then placed in cylinders into which
lime and water, with sulphurous acid gas,
are forced, under considerable pressure,
and made to enter the pores of the wood,
which, when removed and dried, is ready
for use. The exact chemical effect ot this
treatment upon the wood it is not necessa
ry he-re to explain, but it may be slated, in
general tdrms, that as the pores of tlie
wood are filled and covered with an insol
uble sulphate of lime, resulting from the
application described, water is excluded,
dry-rot prevented and insects repelled,
and, in addition to this, the liability to
combustion is very greatly diminished.
The process, moreover, is said to be the
cheapest in use, and the weight of the
wood is less after treatment than before it
is drieel in the kiln. Lcjj'cV Milling and

German Child Romances.
Every age and every country has its ro
mance, but the romance of childhood be
longs more especially to Gernlany. Won
derful tales of fairies and kobolefs, of pix
ies and watersprites, ofdwarfs and giants,
are sung over the babes in the cradle, told
by the fireside of every hut and cottage, to
the wondering, eager, little, blond-haired
children, whose eyes are so full of earnest
ness and belief.
What histories are connected with the
fir-trees, with the beloved and venerated
Chriatbaum! What legends lurk in 1 he
caves and the woody hollows! Though it
be yet summer, the child sees in fancy the
beautiful Weinachtuhaum adoi'netl with
splendid sparkling things, as the gospel
is adorned with promises and hopes ; rich
in gifts, as the three kings were rich;
pointing to heaven, as the angel pointed;
bright as those very heavens were bright,
with silver-winged messengers, crowned
with gold, a3 the word was crowned ; odor
ous like the frankincense; sparkling like
the star ; spreading forth its arms full of
peace and good-will on every side; hold
ing out gilts and promises for all.
And they see the old King Winter mak
ing ready for his journey from the north
pole; his spiked crown of icicles is ou his
head; his long, white beard is frozen; his
snow mantle, and ice scepter, and rubi
cand nose and good-humored laugh ; all
arc familiar ' to them. He collars in a
sledge drawn bv reindeer, and with him
his queen, Frau Holle, who, like
a tender wife, stuffs his cushions
with snow-flakes; they are attended
by their trusty servant, Knecht Ru
precht, the Weinachtsr.nann, he who knows
all about the good and naughty children.
And the vassals of King Winter, when
they know he is coming, hasten to spread
beautiful rime-carpets before him; and,
as he loves fine mirrors, Knecht Ruprecht
lays clear crystal looking-glasses over the
lakes and rivers for his lord and master's
delight. There are no leaves on the trees
(only the ever-faithful fir is green), so the
trusty servant hangs glittering ice-spangles
on the bare branches. Flowers there are
none to cast before his sovereign's feet ou
his entry into those more southern lands,
anel so he traces beautiful frost-flowers on
all the window-panes to gladden the stern
old monarch's heart. And the sun rises
in the morning and gazes with wonder at
the result of Knecht Ruprecht's midnight
industry, and sinks to rest again after his
brief day without having robbed the
white-bearded Winter King of one of his
delicate frost flowers; and when all is
ready Knecht Ruprecht 13 sent lorth to
hear news of the good children; the Win
ter King and Frau Holle begin to adorn
the fir-trees with march-pane and gilded
nuts, apples, quinces, and a thousand
tempting sweet-meats. Knecht Ruprecht
comes back with his tidings, and the
tapers will soon be lighted. For the
naughty children Frau llolle has been
pointing a moral with birch-rods cut in
the forest, and adorning a tale with the
bright-colored ribtwns that bind those in
struments of judicious torture. London

Like the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patient have paitfl
about the chest and sides, and sometimes In
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The -appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy load on tha
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa
tion at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets in, at first
dry, but after a few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, Irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the 6kin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tin-red with vellow, the urine is scanty and
biirh-eolored", depositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a spitting up
of the food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There Is a feeling of
great prostration" and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. It is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu

forms. It has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
