searching for some means of prevent-

the sewage produces the equivalent
of a chemical change. The electric
current sets the particles of matter
in a circulatory motion, and the re-
sult is that the organic. matter col -

problem that agitates every large city.

A curious case is likely to come be-
fore the London courts. Some months
since a young girl was apprenticed to
a fashionable city milliner. She lived
with her employers, two maiden
sisters, and a week agofor some al-
leged offence committed in the work-
room she was given a severe corporal
punishment by one of the sisters.
The girl complained to her aunt, who
at once wrote demanding an explana-
tion. A reply was received stating
that by the terms of apprenticeship
the proprietor of the establishment
was in loco parentis and had the right
to administer chastisement as a mo-
ther might inflict upon a disobedient
child. She further stated that she
found the rod an indispensable ad-
junct of the workroom, and was quite•
prepared to defend her right to use
it. The girl's aunt threatens to bring
an action for assault to test the case.

OUR MINISTER'S SERMON.
The minister said one night, said he,
" Don't be afraid of givin';
IF your life ain't worth nothin' to other
folks,
Why what's the use of livin' E"
And that's what leapt to:my wife,says I,
" There's Brown, the miser'ble sinati ;
He'd sooner a beggar would starve than
give
A cent toward buyin' a dinner."
I tell you our minister is prime, he is,
Bat I couldn't quite determine,
When I hearth him a givin' it right and

Just who was hit by his sermon.
Of -course there couldn't be any mistake
When he. talked of.long•winded prayin'
For Peters and Johnson they sot and
scowled
At every word he was sayin'.
An' the minister he went on to say,
"There's various kinds of cheatin',
And religion's as good for every day
As it is to bring to the meetin'.
I don't think much of the man that gives
The loud amen at preaohin',
And spends his time the followin' week
In cheatin' and overreaohin'."
I guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to swallow,
But I noticed that ho didn't open his
mouth
But once after that to holler
Hurrah," said I, "for the minister,"
, Of course I said it quiet—
"give ne some more of this open talk,
It's very refreshing diet."
The minister bit 'em every time,.

And riggih'e ont!fn bows and things ,,

And I guess it sot her thinkin'. -

But man's a queer creation,
And I'm much afraid that most -of the
folks
Won't take the application,"

A newmethod of pre'serVing oysters
in the shell, so as to transport them
to any distance in a perfectly fersh
conditien,is being tried at Oxford,Md.
The process is of the simplest descrip-
tion, consisting wholly in a single
turn of iron wire twisted tightly
around' the shells so as to keep them
so closely shut that none of the juice
of the oyster can leak out. It appears,
that it is the opening of the mouth of
the oyster wheq out,. of water that
causes it to 'spoil.' There is evidence
that oysters clamped by wire by this
method have kept fresh for several
months. Arrangements are already
made for the sliipiiient of about
twenty thousand oysters a day to
Liverpool.

Want of Sleep
Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum ; and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
ing houses in the world is the Ban-
gund church, in Norway, the age of
which is 800 years. The pagoda like

very often disturbed, and some im-
purity of the blood manifest ; but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to
health."

not be surpassed in history of corrupt
proceedings since the creation of man.
The New York Tribune has a dispatch
saying that the twelve men' were but
the mouthpieces of Sioux City's busi-
ness men, who, while not yet ready to
throttle the law by advising the re-
opening of saloons, would make no
strenuous efforts to close saloons were
any now running wide open.' The
liquor traffic is the mother of every
abomination, and has the power of
corrupting whatever it touches,dircct-
ly or indirectly.
It needs no prophet to foretell what
will be the character of people made
rich across their consciences by the
prophets of distilling. They cannot
be temperance men any more than a
wolf can be a sheep by putting on his
skin ; in becoming Christians they
will get far enough only to become
hypocrites. Men who know very well
beforehanh what whiskey will do to
law, and yet, for money, open its
floodgates, will not be very stout de-
fenders of the law against di:spation.
A conscience, venal to distilleries has
no virtue to resist other proffers. Bien
who unitedly sustain distilleries
against public good, will separately
cheat each other for their private
good. Thus young men will grow
up without nerve to work, and with
just nerve enough to drink; they will
be lazy in honesty and industrious in
knavery. Men will have too much to
do in keeping up courts and jails to
have time to build churches; and
poorhouses will ultimately supplant
school -houses. * * What juggle,
what infernal phantasy has possessed
the mind, when public prosperity is
sought for amid the ruins of integrity,
industry, patriotism and religion.—

No one can afford to keep a cow
that is not a source of profit in the
dairy; and this can be known only by
occasional tests of every cow in the
herd. And once a good herd is estab-'
lished, there should be no trouble in
keeping it good by breeding from
them.
A story comes from over the water
of some good advice which Rev Dr
Moore, once tbe pastor of the Central
Christian church, thio city, gave not
long ago to a young lady a member of
his London congregation. The young
lady is an orphan and was desperate-
ly in love with one young man while
she was being courted by another.
The young man she loved had shown
a good deal of brotherly love for sev-
eral years, but no word of sentiment
had ever passed between them. Fin-
ally the young man who had steadily
courted her for months proposed mat-
rimony. The young lady did not
want to accept, since she loved the
other fellow, and did not want to run
the risk of dying an old maid by a flat
refusal, for this young man for a hus-
band was better than no husband at
all. ' Finally putting the suitor ofl in
a desperate strait she went to br
Moore.
" Did you say the young man you
loved bad shown you some attention?"
asked Dr Moore.
"Yes, but only as a brother."
"I'll tell you what to do. Just
sit down and ask his advice. Tell
him the fact that you are an orphan,
with no one to counsel, leads you to
come to him for help. Tell him
frankly of the young man's proposal
and of your hesitancy about accept-
ing a husband, and then tell me the
result."
In a few days the youngladyap-

In breeding for draught horses,
good legs and- feet are the most im-
portant points to consider, and these

bred to overgrown stallions.
There is no use saving tbe common
turnip for late feeding. Soon after
January it becomes pithy, and loses
its flavor and.. feeding value. The
rutabaga is a much better keeper, but
it also becomes pithy later in the win-
ter. Beets ann mangolds are much
better feed for cows late in the season
and have the advantage that they
give no bad flavour to the milk.
The Earl of Derby, whose seat is
in the suburbs of Livt rpool, is a pro-
nounced kleptomaniac. His Grace's
particular weakness is for old silver
and the greater its antiquity and
beauty the more certain is it to
find its way into his pocket. It is
the duty of his valet to examine his
master's clothes every morning when

HUMOR
A wealthy old gentleman of this
city 104 yearsof age has used tobac-
co for 94 years. Hie heirs think if
he hadnever touched tobacco he
might have been dead long ago. They
look upon the weed as hurtful.
'How is it you have so many young
men call on you?' asked a jealous girl.
'Because,' was the reply, 'father has
the gout in one leg and the rheumat-
ism in the other; besides, we don't
keep a dog.'
Said Brown: 'The day I was mar-
ried I quit chewing tobacco,. and I
tell you it was pretty hard on me that
day, but in a day or two it was all
right.' 'Ah how's that?' 'I com-
menced chewing again.'
'Do you believe in luck my good
man?' asked a superstitious old lady
of a tramp.
'I can't say that I do mum,' replied
the tramp, 'because I never had any.'
The pranks of Boreas in this vicin-
ity lately remind us of an original
composition of a Nantucket miss of
early time: 'Wind is a very useful ar-
ticle; it blows down houses, roots up
trees, and many people die for hent
of breath.'
One day Julia Warde ,Howe was
introduced to Sitting Bull by that full
name., and the gentleman remarked
'How' with his usualurbanity.
said Mrs Howe with quick apprehen-
sion. 'The gentleman has hoard of
me, I see. He is really a very intelii-
gent aborigine.

DEVOTION TO HIS 1''AMILY
This truth, that human nature is a
kaleidoscope of good and bad rather
than one stripe of plain color,receives
a striking illustration in the case of
one Vincenzo Juliano,who is confioed
in the Newark jail on the charge of
murder. According to a report,it was
noticed that the prisoner grew weaker
and more meagre day by day. His
wife visited him regularly and she in-
variably carried away with heron her
departure from the jail a small parcel
The suspicions of tbo warden were
aroused, and he made an inspection of
the bundle, to find it containing the
ration of food With which the pr'soner
had been supplied. Inquires followed,
and it appears the prisoner was starv-
ing himself to death to provide food
for his wife and children, who had no
other means of support. On learning
the fact the warden doubledthe ration
and took further steps to keep the
family of the prisoner frotn utter des-
titution.
