About therniddle of June, in obedience to the
great and uuivereal law of Nature,—the in
oreaso and multiplication of epodes, —they
oorne in immense ahealse—in millions emu
millions,—to deposle their spawn upon the
pebblyseatebore. Their mode of depositing
the spawn is snob ae to leave them at the
mercy of the innumerable hordes of fishes
and fishers that prey upon them. The female
is small and smooth, and the male ie large
and ridged. When spawning they swim in
threes, one female between two males; the
female fite between the ridges in the males,
and tbey swim parallel, almost' as one fish.
The males by thelr pressure aid the female
to deposit her spawn, and at the same time
they drop their "milt," which fructifies the
apawn, It is during tide time, while the
fish are apparently half-dezed, that the fisher,
man and farmer reap their harvest. They
catch them with seines and oast -nets. With
a seine, four or •five men in a skiff can
easily get from fifey to two hundred bar,
rele of them in a day. The method of min.
Ing them is, when the caplin are close to the
beach, one end of the seine is fastened ashore
with a grapnel and the other end is kept
aboard the skiff. The crew row around the
great body of caplin and fence in thousands
of barrels against the beach. They then
dip them out with dipnets and get many
skiff loads—from-thirty to fifty barrels in a
load,—in one haul. They then land them
on wharves or on the beaoh and haul them
away to their farms, where they mix them
in the proportion of one load of oaplin to
five bade of peat, bog or day. This makes
a very strong manure, and as it oupplies
neary all the elements of plant food, it forces
heavy crops of all kinds. Fishermen also
oatoh them and use them as bait for oafish.
They are a delicious morsel when eaten
fresh, and there is a fortune for the man
who solves the problem of 'getting them into
the American markets as fresh and as deli-
cious as we get them here. When salted or
smoked they make a very good article
of food for winter, and many a poor
family preserves enough for sale, and to
feed themselvde, their pigs and hogs for a
wholeyear, till the next oreplin-sohool arrives.
Of course, as a manure, they are a god, send
to the formers, many of whom have scarcely
any other means of procuring fertilizer in
sufficient quentities for their land; But
when looking at the thousands upon thou-
sands of barrels of fresh, delicious fish, so
used, it mew alrnaat sinful to deetroy euth
quantities of whidesoznw and toothsome
human food, when so znany millione of the
race would eat them with a relish if they
had the chance.

•-Perfumes.
An interest, an individuality belongs to
the persons who attach themselves to some
fine old scents, once faahionable bub nearly
forgotten, and whb come to be known by
the boquet de Caroline, or the honey wtaer
which faintly perfumes their handkerchiefs
and gloves. Such fancies belong to the per,
sons not quite young, who yet never grow
old, but are a betrayal of ardent sensibilities
transformed into teethe and keen remem-
brances. The dulling of titre does nob take
place with much people it only refines them.
Or the delicate old perfume may be carried
by one of those young persone, serious
and mature beyond the w
years ho are con-
densed romances. One can tell a character,
or at let st its development, by a perferne
readily. One thing is curious, but perfectly
natant', that perfumers by trade never eare

A Elia Toilet Articles.
A mosalble girl will not keep a lot of cos-
metics and drugs on her toilet table, but
there are a few arnolee size zhould alwaya
have ill a convenient place. She 'mould have
an array of glass stopped bottles containing
%limbo], alum, camphor, borax, ammonite
and gleverthe or violin; A little camphor
or water may be ueed las a wash for the
month and throat if tho breath is not sweet.
Powdered alum applied to a fever sore will
prevent ib from becoming very unsightly
and noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions
on the Akin are removed by alcohol. A few
grains of alum in tepid water will relieve
people whose bands perspire very freely,
rendering them unpleasantly moist. A. few
drops of aulphurio acid in the water are also
desirable for those whose feet perapire freely.
We ahould always recommend care in the UtO
of scented soap; in many oases the perfume
Is simply a disguise for prior quality. A good
glycerine or honey soap is alwaym preferable.
Of mourn, one inayrely on scented soap from
a higleclasa manufacturer, but ie costs more
than it is worth. In addition to the soap for
bathing, white castile should be kept for
washing the hair. Occasionally a lit&
borax or ammonia may be used for this per -
pose, but it is usually too harsh in its et -
hots.
When Women Shou'd Marrv.
Probably the beet time for the average
woman to marry would be any age between
24 and 36. It is nob mid that no woman
should merry earlier or later than either of
these ages : but youth and health and vigor
are ordinarily as their bighestperfection be-
tween these two periods. Early marriages
are seldom deeirable for girls, and that for
many reasona. The brain is inam attire, 640
reason ie feeble, and the character is unform-
ed. The consideration which would prompt
a girl to marry at 17 would, in many oath;
have little weight with her at 24. At 17 she
iia child, at 24 a woman.
Where a girl has intelligent parents, the
aeven years between eeventeen and twenty-
four are the period when mind and body are
most amenable to wise discipline, and best
repay the thought and toil devoted to.their
development. Before seventeeit few girls
have • learned to understand what life is,
what dissIpline ia, what duty ie. They cannot
value what is best either in the father's wire
dom or in the mother'e tenderness When
. •
married at that childish period they are like
young recruits taken fresh from the farm
and the work -shop and hurried off to a long
campaign with out any period of preliminary
&Ili and training, or like a oohed boy re-
moved from school to a curacy without being
sent to a theological hall.
Who con help grieving over w ohildwife,
eapeoially if ehe, have children and a hue -
band who is an inexperienced and possibly
exacting boy -inn? The ardor of his love soon
coots : the view:nary bliss of her poetioel
imagination venishes like the summer Mist :
there is nothing left but disappointment and

She Wears Man's Clothing.
There's one woman in Missouri who holds
o, written permit from the ()Deemer of that
State to wear a man's dress 11 anywhere in
Missouri outside of cities of 10.000 inhabl.
tantse' Her name is Emily Paxton, and she
was brought up on a faun by a lady named
Conkling, to whom she was given by her
father when one month old, on her mother's
death. • At 15 years old she was bitten to
Pike county, Idisenurl, by Mrs. Conkling's
brother, and began to work on his farm,
By his direction she pub on male attire, and
for 23 years she has continued to wear ill ex-
oept when visiting a city. She does all "kinds
of farm work except chopping," but her
favourite occupation is breaking horses to
harnees. Of these she herself owns three,
and hris charge of 13. For three years, in
partnerehip with a man, elle owned and work-
ed a reaper, until it became MO far worn out
that the repairs made its further use unpro-
fitable. She atm on an average 10 urea of
grain a day. At another time she hauled
logs to a saw mill. Atpresent she lives with
a family named Willie, am
t Farmer, Pike
county, Mo., an eldsrly oonple and the hue -
band an invalid. She is treated like their
own daughter. She has entire charge of
their firm of several hundred acres. Al-
though Virginians, and she is a very light
quadroon, they show great consideration
and regard. Almost everybody knows her
in Pike, Audrain, and the adjoining coma
tries, and treats her with respect, thoheli
she Is known to be it woman m male attire.
She wears male dress "because it suits her
work," and she prefers outdoor work because
she dielikes 00Ufinernent in the house, and
can earn better wage; She owns two traotieet
of land in Greeley county, one a home-
stead claim whith ahe took and made good
by actual residence and improvements, the
other a "tree claim," on which she . has eat
