Nevertheless-, in half the homea ia the oountry, becalm the hnsband holds tla: /ands and the wife must ask for her share, there is exasperation, there be /else theme, there is undreamedad distress, And the trouble springs not out of the greed of pen- urious men (for men are usually open-hand- ed, generous, and anxious to treat their wives and daughters with liberality), but las its genesis in a mistaken principle at the begianing. Indulgence, liberality and generosity are teems wholly inapplicable to the sltustion when we are apeaking of the relations of husband and wife. The one does not dispense an ams; the other does not accept a charity. They are peetners in the business of life. It is his part to do the providing, and here to look after the use of the provisions. He attends to the out-deor economy; she to the interior; economy be. ing taken hi ite root sense of systematic government. "In true marriage lies nor equal nor unequal ;" yet there can be noth- ing but the farce cf equality 'where the e.ite mnat account to her huaband for every far- thing, and the husband, forgetful of the con- sideratien due his wife, allows her to be fret- ted and worxied, worn to shreds, and sub- ject to petty mortifications, because five days out of seven she is the possessor of an empty purse. Entire openness and confi- dence es to the resources of the firm, a defi- nite and exact method of keeping household accounts, and a recognition of the tact that bricks cannot ba made without straw, and that a certain approximating annual expense must be proport oned to the position the family occupies in the community, would so far bring in a millenium in British homes, Extraordinary Discoveries of Honey. Por the last 16 or 18 years a colony of beee has taken possession of a niche between the walls of the Hautboy and Fiddle public. house at Ockham, near Ripley, in West Surrey. The outer walls of the buildieg are about 3 feet in thickness, and the bees made choice of their etorehouse at the very top of the building, which is three storeys high. The landlord and landlady, with their daughters, resolved this year upon finding out the exact whereabouts of the colony. A diligent search was made one morning under the roof of the house, and a piece of comb was found immediately below the slates, but in such a position that it could not be reached. Mr. Smith, the land- lord, then descended to the bed -room, and with chieel and hammer removed a number of bricke from the wall, where the whole stook of bees was found. More than 21t square of the wall had to be removed, when a. wonderful sight presented itself. A large mass of comb, about 21t in thickness, filled with honey was exposed. The bees were fumigated, after which large pieces of honey were cut out, until dish after dish was fil- led with a total quantity of about 1201b. Another and still more extraordinary take of honey has been secured at Winter's Hall, Bromley, the seat of Mr. George Barrett. Soma men were sent to take some bees which had got between the ceiling of the coaoinhouse and the granary. They suc- ceeded in taking 3 ewt. of honey. The bees had been engaged in their novel hiding -place oeveral years. Ethel ; "Mamas, I think Frank means bnainese," Martune, Why, what a way to • talk, child?

A Londen boot andshoe paper is indignant that an American firm should presume to ehip fine boats for Londoners to wear. It is said the coming roofs:will be of terra- cotta tiles. The terra-cotta manufacturers are adapting their wares to a variety of purposes< Mainsprings of watches break raost fre- quently in the fall cf the year, and watch- makers are said to pat in more new springs in two fall months than in alt the rest of the year. Brick makers have heard of a brig konek- ing machine that has a preesure ei from 5 000 to 300.000 pounde. and which can turn out from 8,000 to 20,000 bricks per day. Tool makers will be interested in know- ing that a process has been discovered and perfected by which old rails, at a cost of $17 per ton, can be turned into good edged tools. Not ten years have elapsed -since the first paper mill was started in Japan, with the latest appliances of European and Amerioan machinery, and now we are told that there are a dozen mills in operation in that country several of them making good dividends. It may be put down to the credit of Japan that she was a few hundred years in advance of the United States in making papers from wood fiber. Sa istics concerning the new American postal card are now in order. The material used is twenty-five per cent. wood pulp and seventy -fire per cent. fine rags. It takes about twelve hours to convert the raw ma- terial into the cards, and between 1000000 and 1,500,000 of them are turned out daily, giving employment to about 130 women and girls. They come from the prees in sheets of forty cards each. It costs $100 a month tor the little paper bands that are placed about the bunchee of twenty-five each, The new card has a watermark that will aid in the detection of counterfeits. Even with a million turned out daily the demand is greater than the supply. The Soup. A coachmen suddenly raised to the post of waiter at a dinner tarty, when a sudden resignation had left the place vacant within an hour of the assembling of the guests, was delighted. The hot was delighted to find that an old dress coat and vest would fit the coachman, and ten minutes was spent in ace quainting the servant with the usages of polite society at a dinner. Among other things, the host told the coachman that he was on no account to ask any of the gnesta to be helped a second time to soup. The gueste took their places at table, and the soup was quite credibly served, The coach- man observed that one gentIman pushed hie plate of soup away from him. The servant leaned over and drew the plate back again In front of the gentleman, who in turn push- ed it from him again. This diepleoserl the coaehman.

Some people have been found to say a good word Inc bed language; but this la out of love of paradox. They have plead- ed that the custom of swearing Is analo- gous to that cf emphatic speaking, and that those who are too lazy to think of the right word to txerees their meaning drop out of eheer careleasnese into the (meet, elipshod style of using ezpletives. Un- fortunately it is not merely the ignorant, whomight by some possibility be suppoeed not to know the correct term to employ in order to express strong feeling, thab are guilty of the improper habit. It prevails to a considerable extent in circles where refinement and education are supposed to prevail. Men who have been to the univer- sity, and possibly have come oat as firat class men or wranglers, have been known before now to take the shorb-cut road to their meaning which swearing unhappily supplies. In such eases, perhape, it may be urged in excuse that severe academical training or examinations have so reduced their stook of brain power that the diecove. re, of the appropriate and seemly adjective to apply in any meals as diffieult: Inc these lights of learning as for the ploughboy or the day -laborer. And there may be tome thing in this excuse. Intellectual lazl. nese is accountable for a good deal of the hasty judgments as well as the hasty language which is current; and in the rush and hurry of life a buy man may argue that he really has no time to le puttee:ler about his phrases. This might be accepted as a legitimate plea if it could be shown that "strong" language le at all more easy to utter than weak; such, however, is not the case, and the whole thing is a matter of habie. It begins, perhaps, with intellect :al Iaelneee, or the denire to appear on a par with the swear- ing world around; boys adopt a lament- able variety of expletives, very often simply out of the emulative faculty. Poe - ably the "swell" of their school thinks it a fine thing to call a game of cricket "infernally tedious," whereupon hie youthful imitatora proceed at once to garnish their ordinary conversation with a good deal of imagery borrowed from the lower regions. The popular desire of emphasis in speech mnst not blind us to the fact that it is very ill mannere to swear. The habit,whatever be Iles origin, is a deplorableone and cannot be legiti- mately defended by anybody.

SHIM/00D There is no element in nature more wide- ly diffused, or more infinitely developed, than the element of color. Look around yon everywhere and it abounds. It, indeed, is the medium through which we look and sea, for the sunlight itself is a component of the three primary colors. Of this fact we are every day convinced. The three prim- ary colors are, viz,, Red, Blue and Yellow, and these, by their various combinations, produce what are termed secondary colors, and the secondary color:, by a union of any two, produce a Tertiary. Red and Blue of the primary will give you Purpl ,e a secon- dary ; Blue and Yellow, Green; Yellow and Red, Orange. The range or scale from light to shade must mire or loss be appar- ent to all, Take Red, for example, follow it through in all its varieties from pale pink to deep crimson ; to what an infinite degree may not its range run, yet, preserving all its primary characteristics, for the red of the pink is equal to the red of the crimson ; the presence of the lighter or deeper tone in no- wise affecting the primary. And the law that governs the one governs all colors. The scale of tones in Yellow is apparent to every lover of flowers. You know how pale the the Primrose is, and how deep and rich the yellow of the" Mtreachal Neil "Rose, yet since that degree of depth does neither add nor detract from the primary, they both are equally yellow. There are many flowers, the Tulip Inc example, that will illustrate this truth. Indeed almost every flower is in it4 self an excellent illustration, the more se- cluded parts being invariably darker than the outer portions. The terms we use to ex- press these varied hues do not lessen the fact of their being but one in color. Of Blue -we know the pale hues of the little: For getene-not " and the deep hues of the Con- volvolus, and both are equally blue, Thuato know and underetand the first principles Of color is to knee and understand the whole range,whatever variety it may assume. Alit -tie ebservation will well repay the time apent in the pursuit of tide most oharzning study, and can there be any 'sandy more beneficial in all of nature's schools than the study of the beautiful as exhibited in the principles of color We all have our favorite color in nature -It nay be amociated with a tree or a /Iwo', a mountain or a lake. It may be at tlae rising or the setting of the sen- ior both are beautiful. And when nature exhibits our fevo.lte color, It is then we admire her most, MING ING HIMSELF WITH HIS WIFE.

Sir John remarked that it waa aurprlaing how 1.ttle we know about the true nature of an- imals. Thia, he thought, arose very much from the fact thee hitherto we have tried to teach aniniala inatead of to learn, from them; to nuke, ?or instance, the dog un- derstani us, rather than to undetstand the dog. He euggeated that aortae such aye - tem as that aeopted with deaf mutes, and especially by Dr. Kowa in the 0380 of Laura Bridgman, might be tried with ad- vantage. For this purpose he selected a black paodle, Van, aim then presented pieces of cardboard ten inches long by three feet wide, on whichhe printed worms such as "food," "water," tea," and no one who had seen Vanlook down arow of cards and, piok out the one he wanted coald doubt that he was able to &gin:rash the different words, and quite understand that a card was equivalent to a request. The car& were certainly not recoguiz ad by the scant, because he used a number of each.

Nothing could induce the dog to go out with him. though on other dale, when he took his stick and hat, he showed great anxiety bo go with him. Prof. Flower attached great importance to kindness in the teach- ing of animals. Miss Katherine Wray gave an interesting account of how, in three weeks, by means of a bone attached to the door ball, she had taught the dog to ring the bell. Mr. C. C. Walker men tioned that he knew a family which had taught their dog to howl at tho late Oppo- sition and show great interest at the men- tion of the late Government. Mrs. Stokea thought that some minds seemed to have a greater power of communication with animals than others, and she mentioned an English profaner who seemed to have the power of calling birds from the oky. e-aseseesa- FALL FOLLIES.
