The eurtiotitYt of mind o body, of brain over iniisele, is one of most coninion and. convenient themes popular declaraation. Every schoolb who has lett the plow for the office; ployze his earliest efforts at composit in justific.ation if hie choice.- The a age sentiment would very nearly c aide with the "Commercial Colle prospeetus which says, Muscle bane are the hewers of woOd. and dr ers of water to brains."

Th has been growing up a morbid sentim which is doing mischief,- and whi threa.tenS disaeter. There ie denim feeling that there is some antegon between. brain and muscle, and that who has the first is a. fool to live by t second. If a man. do not get in his 1 ing by his wits he is supposed not have any.

When last heard fro this young man was employing h strong head" in the delicate service "i runner" for a ?heap betel. A !prole sea. of a college, who held his place sufferance, remaaked in a public speec . that "Education had lifted him fro the plow tail to his present position A farmer sitting by remarked, th "that was not much at a compliment education, for it did uot 11.ft him ver far." With. a great many, to have brai is to be toe sharp to work. The *result is just, what we might e pect The Bel& of muscular toil ar being left to the most cligraded, whi those of mental labor are over stocked No girl of any pretensions thinks doing, house work," or even "plai sewing." She must teach school" o give " music lessons." No young nla Of any plua thinks of being a farm lab erer,1 and hardly a mechanic. He mus go the city art& measure tape—or sit o a high stool with a quill behind his -ea and write. This cannot be because th work is lighter. If we should once cora pare the pale, wearied look of our teach ers and clerks with the ruddy healthful ness of servant girls and laborers, w should be convineect that the centrar is the truth. Bat it is thought to be s much more dignified to work with th mind than with the hands that no On who can do the one will think of doing the other. We are told that all our cities are • crowded. while farm hands can scarcely be obtained. The professions are all full and running over. To ineretise the 'demand, physidans divide themselves iuto some half a dozen different schools —little:pills and big pills, !cold. water and hot water, herbs and physic. Lawyers are dissolving into "claim agents" and "land agents." and a score of other " agencies"- whereby theymay create a case and pocket a fee. To employ the constantly increasing surplus of "brain," manufacturers and- publishers are send- ing agents and canvassers all over the country peddling books and maps and pictures, hair dyes and. lightning rods. Every school committee is overran with applications, while a -competent girl to do housework is sought for as for " hid treasures." I was on a city school board several years,,and for every va- cancy there was an average of six appli- cants. A poor woman called on me one day, desiring to find a place to do house- work. I orily named the fact to a few friends, and yet there were three urgent applications for her services before the next night. A clerk left one of our naercantile establishments on the three o'clock train. Before sundown eighteen applicants appeared for the vacancy.lu A work fell from the scaffolding of a new building about the same time and disabled- himaelf. The contractors had to search the -whole town to find a man to fill his place. Every town in the eauntry is full of young men—candidates for clerkships—lying round idle, " wait- ing for something to turn up." That is they are waiting for somebody to the or resign that they may " put into a clerk's office and. be able to eat a piece of bread." On the other hand alrnostever kind of manual labor is at a premiiim. Every One must have noticed the in- creased demand for muscular la-bor. The• housekeeper is at the mercy of her • help." The contractor is at the mercy (4 his men. The laborer can defy his employer, for there are More asking for his services than lie can serve.. Recanemend his own price, for the bidding is lively over him and he himself is the kuctioneer. The world's physical Work niusit be done. Not a pound of bread or a yard of cloth can be produced without 't J.t. Hence the scepter of the world is passing into the hands of muscle. The ms an who has mental labor to sell Must 8 go begging for work, while he who has ° physical labor to offer wlil have com- petitors for his services Cou g ic time and cost and preparation, no men t,re now paid as 'e11 as common laborers.

Inoculation With Bee Poison. pg Mr, G. Walker in the British Bee Journal opens up, says the Academy, the interesting question as to whether immunity from the pein and other in- jurious effects of the sting of the bee can be obtained by inoculation. Visiting the Hanwell apiary, he was struck with the mole in which the owner managed. 'hiis bees,. arid asked him .the length of time necessary to render a person sting - proof. The reply was, that the son had only been a short time Working with the bees, and that he was quite free from the usual effects of bee stings. Mr. Walker made the experimene upon himself'his modus operandi being to catch a bee, place it upon his wrist, and allow it to sting him, taking care that he received the largest amount of :poison by prevent- ing the bee from going away at once. The first day .he stung himself twice. The effect was rather severe cutaneous erysipelas, disorder of the motor nerve, with the usual signs of inflammation. A few days having elapsed, and the symptoms having subsided, he caused -himself to be stung again three times in quick succession. The attack of ery- sipelas on this occasion was not nearly so severe, and a lyniphatic gland behind his ear increased considerably in size, the the poison being taken up by the lym- phatic system. A few days subsequent- ly he was stung thrice, and the pain was considerably less though the swelling was ,still extensive. At the end of -the next week he had received eighteen th stings, and. by e close of the third week thirty-two stings. After the twentieth sting there was very little swelling or pain, only a slight itching sensation with a small amount of inflam- mation in the immediate neighborhood of the part stung. which did not spread. further. • It would be interesting to learn how loag the immunity thus obtained is likely to last. • cle. ly, iso et - alk ver ere ent eh on ism he he iv - to cal er. ds, A gh 1711. lp on an cl is of s - by at to 37 ns le of of n. 11 Indoor Culture of Tomatoes. The London Gctrdener's Chronicle de- scribes a method of raising tomatoes within doers which it says has been suc- • cessful, and is worthy of general adop- tion. The seed is sown about Christnias, and by the first week in March the plants .areset out against the back -wall of some of the lean-to vineries, in a good com- post, with ample root -room. Fiera they make a rapid and vigorous growth, and in the course of the season attain to a height of from ten to twelve feet, and prodnce successional crepe of fruit with greet profusion until past Christmas. .In this manner early and late ton.atoes are obtained- from the same plants. As a matter of course the plants can hardly be kept too moist, and a good dressing of crushed, bones is occasionally given. The border in which the tomatoes . are planted is only about fifteen inehes in width. The plants must, be well fed, but the wonderful crops they bear is the best testimony to the advantage of a liberal treatment. The weight of fruit obtained from one plant in a season is somethingn reta.rkabled m t, and of them attain a great size, Snap Cure for l3alkY Horse. • My former treatment, when a horse balked, was to take a piece of board or a barrel stave and go at him as if I intend- ed to kill, yet it would not mar or injure, but would scare hiin so that he would go. But this treatment would failitometimes, and it was always very unpleasant. Three years ago T bought a three-year- old mare of a neighbor, with*. 'a recdrn- mend that she was "sound and. trne." One Sundak morning I hitched her to a buggy to visit a patient, but was sur- prised to find her balky. I Whipped her Land forced her to go, but the defect grew upon her until she would stand a severe fleecing. Last summer I made up my mind that I never would beat her again; that she was too nice a beast • to be whipped, and that there must be some other plan. 1 was on my way tou bleak - smith shop to have some kind of a snap made to snap in the nose to lead her with, but in stopping in a hardware store I saw a snap that suited me, and,upon inquiry found it to be a cattle snap to lead vicious cattle. This was just what I wanted. I tied to it a few feet of cord and threw it in my buggy, and the first time she stoppedgot out and' snapped itin herenose, an4 pulled on the cord in front of her. Of course she settled back, but finding she cold not pull much that way began to walk up. I led her around a little and tied one end of the cord to the harness anct got in, and findingliber disposed to go all righ t removed the snap, and never had to apply it but once there- after, and now she has no disposition to vent a nose piece. I think the most -vicious horse can. be handlrd with the nap, and it does no injury.; but the nap should. I believe, be made about ne-thircl larger than the common. snap. —i. S.
