It is 'rather strange, when you come to think of it, how many little things are 4‘ let go" in the house, that really fret the himates and add friction to the household michinery, whioh should run smoothly. Moot of these "let go's" are in the kitchen. I might philosophize cabout that feat, but I will not, jest now. A. dull vegetable knife is one of these. The kitchen which con- teinen sharp one is the exception, yet it is very exasperating to peel potatoes or apples; ant up beans, or slice tarnips, with a knife c. sa dull as a In the first place, one lbegtudges the money for a fine steel knife "just to pare potatoes with," never stopping to think that the better the knife the cheaper it is for tlais sort of work. A sharp knife will pare thinner and waste leas than a dull etneeand will last longer. A good, email whet-stona should accompany it, with instruotions to nse it, and not the stove. pipe, etove-edge or sole of the cook's shoe. There is an old saying that one of the few questions the devil cannot answer is: "What is a woman's whet- stone 2" Another annoyanee is leaking tins of variona kinds, notably, quart memo:tree, dippers, dripping -pans and saucepans. Bits of rag drawn through the tiny holes, Or flour -paste rubbed on the bottom to form a patch, are common devices for getting along with these let -go tins, in- stead of carrying them to the nearest tin atop some morning and getting them back whole and etrong in the afternoon for a, very smell oatlay of time end money There is for sole, and I doubt not it is quite commonly used, a certain kind of solder that the dealers claim can easily be need at home.

Among the many vessels caught outside during ;he gale was every type of oreft know to "keep :water voyages." There were East Indie olippere, 'West Incitan brigs, barques, barquentines and schoenen, and a few eteamers. Many of the East Indian pockets had been ont over 120 days. For enemy days prior to the storm the sky had been over - oast. Only 000sedemally would the sun appear, and then for so short a time es to render even a catch " sight " well nigh out of the question. In coneequence many ships had been nutmeg by " dead reokon- ing," maleing the eapposed position of the vessel a most uncertain one. Under such conditions were vessels over- taken by the terrible northeaster.

There is but one thing to do, and that quidele—to call " A.Il heeds save ship 1" The vessel is in a lee shore, the pie is blowing her right on, end unless she can be made to beat up in the wind, head off, and clear the Mast, she will beach: Up comes everybody with -a rush, half tinseled, half dazed, brit fally alive to the danger.

What Sort or Property 000 the Enormous Increase Go thaw At the end of every year there cornea the queetion ", What has begorae otthe re - milts of the year's prodootions ? " it is said that the nation is adding to its wealth o thousand without:I yearly; in what form? It is tot in monetary circulation. It isnot he claims opine* other opuntriee or own- ership of property there. The crops of the year we shall presently consume, or if part is to be Bold abroad, the geods re - (wised in exehange will presently be con- entned. Where is the additional wealth of whioh we boast Is it only in a higher valuation of lands and buildiege and other fixed property—a valuation which may be lost with the next turn of the wheel? These qamitioas are not so chitchat% as to many they may seenen It is of no small importance to disoover whet form the added wealth of the nation takes, so that we may jadge how far it is solid and last- ing and oepable of reproduction For if all the landof the °wintry were worth 10,000 millions a, year ago and 11,000 rnillious now, but eine prodatoe no more than Wore, the added wealth is thee:finery. Or if there ties been added within a few years 2,000 millione to the nominal value of rein road property, without any inoreeee in the yearly eerniag power, what &tittle,' gain in wealth is there? ' The -foundation of prosperity is the land, and every year witnesses an mutual inoreaee in the nunsber of eons reduced to °taken tion and productiveness. That (Menge means increased wealth. From 1870 to 1880 there were added ot improved land about 96,000,000 acres, or more than 50 per cent., and there is every reason to believe that the progress in that respect has been even more rapid during the past decade. Bat the addiiien of 15,000,000 sores of improved land every year involves perms. neat investment of labor in clearing, fenc- ing, breaking , and road building, in the erection of houses and barne, and the pro- curement of stook and implements and machinery. The new railroad, which May not pay a single dollar to owners as yet, may nevertheless have made Poscible and profitable this enormous expenditure of labor in the creation of new farms, and if the 15,000,000 aores yearly were worth no more than the [orange of land in 1880, that alone would repreeent an addition of 400 millions or more to the natioaal wealth each year, even though nothing 'had been added to the price of land previously culti- vated. Bat the completion ot roads and raidroeds, the settlement of other lands near by, and the gradual development of a community, also add largely to the aottial as well as the nominal value of are farm property. Within the ignite of influence. So it le with the dwellings and other structures in cities and towns. The country is not worse bat better supplied with all anoh strnotared than it was ten years ago. Bat that enterms an, increasemore than proportieneite to population; and ehe:yearly addetion of ,1,700,000 inhabitents, even if there were rue iiitprovementin the condition' and accommodations of the people, would by itself require additional inveetment yearly a 340 millions or more in building. Property of shat kind contributes as truly as any other to the wealtkproduoing power of the country; &Wettings no less than stores, or warehouses or faotories. Bat in addition there has been each year an enor- mous addition to the manntacturing apart from the bnildinge otherwiee esti. mated; to the .meohinery in use and its productive Capacity. It ig not easy form ereeen an approximate of t of these additions, bat every one realizes that they must be large. Moreover, new mines are constantly opened which add millions every .year to the prodection ; the new mines an the Lake Saperior distriet alone, which have been added within the past five years, have increased the production more than 4,000,000 tons eaoh year, in value, $20,000,000. Not least among the properties of per- manent valne is the fruit of inventive , genius. ;New ideas are the nation's most valuable eepital, and the 25,000 patents whioh may be issued in a year, and may 'epee of real value, cannot be omitted. A single telephone patent issupposed to be worth more than e50,000,000. It not only has stooks selling at about that rate, and not only earns a liberal return on eneh a valuation, bat earns it by rendering the people a service. With the fairness or un- fairness of the division of benefits between the company and the public we here have nothing to do. The aggregate valweto the whole mantry includes all that an ;elven- tion is worth to the pablio, tied all that it is worth to the owners. But in each year's record of inventions there are rainy .whioh, if not equally valuable, have in the eame seam a reel and large value, and add permanently to the producing power of the nation. --New York Daily Commercial Bulletin.

Ministers Itoorly Paid, in comparison With Other etecareelouel mein No man who dopts a ministerial oareer ocin be justly oheaged with meroeuary motives, for in no ostler profession is the monetary reward au email. There are, to be sure, a few instances of preaohers who are paid large sideline for their services, but the rank and file ot the clergy receive hardly enough to maintain then:wolves we speotably, WI/E0B John P Ritter in " Fronk Latent:1 Weekly." The average eatery paid to ministers in Protestant churches ie less than $1,000 per annum, 'Prominent law- yers like Joeeph 11. Choate, Robert J. Ingersoll and teenjemin F. Butler make all the way from 275,e00 to 2125,000 each year. Among physicians, Dr. Loomie earns from e50,000 to e60,000 ; Dr. Polk from e40,000 50,C00;eDr. Sayre about e50,000, and a dozen more might be named who earn over 05,000 annually. Compared to the eateries paid the managere a large finan. dal institutions, the reward of the greatest preset:Len in the laud eempaltry. The highest eatery paid a clergyman in New York la $20,000, and Dr. Jam Hall is the fortunate mdividuel. There are, perhaps, lealf-dozen otber preadiere who get from $10,000 to $15,000, but it should be remembered that they repesent the weelth. jest pariehee in the city, and that they assume ao much responsibility as that devolving upon the heads of great moneyed institutions. ' TWA will be apparent when we regard the (churches under their dine - tion trom a purely financial standpoint. Trinity Church coreoration owns millions upon millions in real estate. its annual inoonae is nearly $800,000. The bulk ot thia vase sum is peed out in oharoh work each year, and Dr. Morgan Dix, the reotor, presides over ita distribution. Dr. Hales church has a plant—if this term may be allowed—valued at $2,000,000. The Su - come from pew rents and contributions amounts to nearly $250,000 per annum. Moat of this is spent in missionary work. Last year the congregational expenses, in- cluding the pastor's eatery, the musio and all incidental items, footed up 035,681t The balance ot over 6200,000 was applied to domestio and foreIgn missions, the relief fund , of the Preabyterian Church and to miscellaneous celerities. In view of this remarkable showing, it oannot be doubted that Dr. Hall earns his salary. Greece °Minh h*e an endownment of $250,000. Its property is worth .close to $2,000,000, and its annual income from pew mute and toontribmions averages $100,000. The property of Aeoension Church, Fifth, avenue and Tenth street, represents ad investment of $350,000. Its revenue hi about e50,009 moo year. Si. Thomas' Church and property is valued at e750,000. Its pews !done rent for $50,000 each year, and the contribations amount to from VO, Am to f10,000 more. St. George's Church is supported entirely by voluntary con- tributions. All the pews are free. Dr. ,Reiustord, the rector, gets a nominal salary of e10,000 per annum. He is pos- sessed of private maims, however, and re- turns his salary to the treasury of his church. The property is valued at over $500,000, and the yearly revenue is between l40,000 and $50,000. A large proportton of this sum is spent in parish charities. Calvary Church aud property is worth at least $300.000. Its contributions are very large, averaging from $70,000 to 680,000. The total income of the perish is not far short of 00,000 es year, and 1 ally onethird of it goes to generaeoharities. The Univeraity Plaice Presbyterian 'Church is among the wealthiest of that, denomination. Its church and property .is valued at about $250,000. Lase year, tts revenue was not fa hfrocn $70,000. Of this amount only $15,792 went toward congre- gational expenses. , This certainly indi- oittes economical management in its domestic concerns. • The Madison Square Presbyterian Church, where Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst presides, has an inoome of between $50,000 and l60,000. Its plant is probably worth $350,000. , Dr. Pexton's West Presbyterian Church derived an income last year of over 52,000. The value of its plant has not been estimated. Ten large church organizations have been instanced here, representing a com- bined property worth millione upon mil. lions, from whioh a total yearly income is derived from pew rents and contributions of about $1,600,000, yet the average salaries the pastors receive is only a trifle over $11,000. When it is considered that they must keep up a style ot living in accord - since with the dignity of the pulpite they occupy; beside answering substentielly innumerable private cells on their charity, it is not to be eupposed that they can lay by very ranch money against thetime when old age will deprive them of their useful- ness. Nothing has boon mid so far as to the personal value of a clergyman to theparish under his charge. Experience has proved that the income of a pastorate depends minty upon the qualities displayed by the pastor; so that in nearly every instance he wey be said to earn, personally, the rev. 011110 of his churoh.

This leery be done in a variety of ways, whittla will depend upon the circumstances surrounding the case. One of the most effeetive mettne of keeping a cellar dry is to build an area wall around the whole of the site, so that mirth does not rest directly against the walls of the house. To form such area a four -inch wall is built parallel to the main weals, and about two inches from them. The bottom of the inolosed space ie formed into a gutter, so that any water that finds its way through the ,outer ming may .have an opportunity of running away to the drains.

An Interesting Process with Which Few Feople Are Familiar. We eee tens of Moorlands of chrom,. which are given away by every enterprising; business men, yet I venture the aseertion; that very few know how they are produced. To properly produce) a ohromo the litho- grapher must be en rapport with the artist., Hp must antilyze the pioture,fully realize the eombinationn of colon and the spirit of. the work. Having determined just how' many basic colors miter into the piature. the artiat commences hie work by pre- paring a lithographio etoue for each sopa,- rate color. The ertiat commences his work: by making a delioete and elaborate ink - tracing of the pioture e not only its general °talkies, bat the Inmate and intricettei touches and eleades of color of which it le composed. The treeing piper is chemi- cally prepered, ao that the lines upon it can be readily transferred to atone. A preen' iet employed to trensfer the impreesione oni the paper to the merle, coneidemble pros - sure being need. Thonsaude of impress- sions oan then be taken from the stone by eimply running an ink roller over it. The tracing thus transferred forms what is known as the key stone. Suppose there are twenty oolore in the olaromo. This number of impreseions is taken from the key stone and each carefully dusted with red chalk. A dimoffset of the entire tree- ing is then 'nested en much one of theete stones. The drawing then begins, and often occupies many months. Each stone is to be printed in a stperate color, and there - tore mast contaan not onlyall that is neoessary of that color of the picture, to the minuteet detail but all of the compoun&. colors, made byprinting one or more over others. A. variety of gradations of color from its full strength to the faintest tinting can be produced on each stone, juet aa in usingan ordinary penoil or crayon Ors drawing paper. These various colors are1 of course, worked up -in black by the artiste:. and it is the printa who applies the colon. The lines on each s iterate stone are etche& with the wash of nitric add and gam arabio, and are ready for the presses. The printer must be as skilful as the artiat in applying hie colors, and mush fully realize ihe blending and effect of moll color. As fast as each color is printeditia submitted to the artist, who has thus a yea- greseive proof of the work. It has been probably noticed that lines, cross each other on the margin of re chromo. These are the registering martz. and enable the printer to place the sheath' the same relative position every time a new stone ie need and a new color applied. These lines are drawn in the original tracing and appearon each stone. 'When this first color is printed eery small- 'holes ' are punctured in each sheet at she intersection. of these, lines, very flue 'holice are also drilled in corresponding positions on each; of the subsequent stones, and the holes We the paper are to correspond precisely with, the holes in the stone'and thue as emir additional color is put 00 a perfect register is secured and each color falba just where it belongs. The next promise le to make the chrome have a rough surface' like an oil painting. A stone is now prepared which has et rough surface, similar so canvas.

Care of the Teeth. At the meeting in' Berlin last • epring of the German Association of American Den- tists, the best inee.nee of preserving the teeth were discussed, and Dr. Richter, of Breelenesaid "We know that . the whole Method ot correctly' oaring for the teeth can be' expressed in • two words—brash, map. In these two things we have all that is needful for the preservation of the teeth. All the preparations not containing soap are not to be recommended, and if they contain soap ell other ingredients are neeless exeept for the purpose, of `making their taste agreeable. Among the soaps the white °senile soap of the English merket is especially to be recommended. A slimier of tooth preparations has been thrown on the market, but very few of which are to be recommended. Testing the composition of them, we find that about 90 per cent. are not only .unsuitable for their pnrpos, but that the greater part are actually harmful. All the preparations containing salicylic add are, as the investigations of Fernier have' shown, • destructive of the 'teeth. He who will unceasingly preach to his patients to,brush their teeth carefully shortly before bedtime, as a cleansing material to use oastile soap, as a mouth wash a solution of oil oft peppermint in water, and to .cleanse the spaces between the teethby oarefal neo of a silken thread, will help them in preserving their teeth, and wilt win the gratitude end good words of the public," A proof ot the pudding is the eating and of the mince pie the depth thereof.
