Therc are a great many ways of killing love, trust and kindly feeling, but people who indulge in sarcasm seem to favor the slow. sure and torturing method which gradually smothers every sentiment that tends to make life profitable and happy. It takes a great deal of heroism and Christian grace to live in the same house with a sarcastic tongueâ€"to hear day after day unjust criticisms and caustic sentiments and to realize that there is no hope of es- cape from the chilling oppressiveness that shadows 9. home where evory spontaneous expression is ridiculed and every good motive misconstrued. _ ' People who live in an atmosphere of this description are often strengthened by 4.1m hope that time will grant them immunity from trials that are almost uubearable'." A hopeless apathy sinks deep into many hearts, while others rebel against injustice and inaugurate a siege of open warfare which destroys forever the prospect of re- storing domestic peace and harmony. “’e hear of fathers who oppose every- thing that savors of hilarity. The joyous expressions that fall from the lips of sons and daughters are quickly suppressed. The iron hand of parental authority crushes aspirations, cherished plans are ridiculed, and youthful minds are filled with the pessimistic sentiments that nurture sarcasm. The boy who declared that he was afraid to breathe when father was around, ended his life in the state penitentiary. The light hearted innocent girl whose thoughtless actions drew forth harsh reproof instead of loving sympathy and advice, drifted away from home and was lostin the “ madding crowd.” 4 Kindness, consideration, and affection in the home are more important than the offering of meaningless compliments and courtesies to those who are comparative strangers to us. We have no right to de- mand, dictate or criticise when we fail to correct our own faults and neglect to study the art of making others happy.e-[Prairie Farmer. A Shelf for Repairs. There nre few things of greater use to a. house keeper who has to study economy than a shelf with materials for repairing and renovating. First of all she should have two or three small cans of paint and two good brushes of different sizes. Paint preserves as well as decorates. By far the most satisfactory method of keeping a hearth clean is to keep it pointed once a week, or once a fortnight, or even once a month, according to the way it is usedâ€"it will be noediul to retouch it. If you use black or the dull Pompeian red, it makes a beautiful background, orpratlier framework, for the fire, throwing into fine relief the shining brass and the fire glow until the whole hearth islike a visible wel- come to guest and friend. Besides the beauty of it, it is invaluable in lessening the burden of daily labor. ,_ In pnpcring a room .be careful to keep remnants to repair cracked or torn places. It is never easy to match. When you are upliolstcring furniture, it is better to use icnes of ii. yard or so in making cushions. I‘hcse always give a room an air of comfort and completeness. It is not wise to store up remnants, for which any one can find iiiiniciliatc use. House room is usually worth more than an accumulation of useless odds and ends. A little can of white paint and a bottle of liquid gilt will change the old, battered wooden picture frames into nont, pretty ones in white and gold, which are particu- larly pretty for bedrooms and sitting rooms, where everything should be bright and. cheerful. The liquid gilt is invaluable in another kind of repairing. A friend of mine had a large and costly Japanese vase broken by accident. It could be mended with cement or glue, and she did this with the greatest care, but there were the ugly lines where the fracture had been. An inspire» tion of genius seized her ; her smallest brush dipped in the liquid gilt was drawn along each crack, and not only hid the line of cement, but enriched the quaint, zigzag Japanese pattern, with which the fine lines of gold happily blended. It would be al- most impossible to detect any breakage from the outside of the vase. There are different ways in which you can yourself make a cement for broken china; the white of an egg and flour made into it sets, or half an ounce of gum arable disso ved in a wine glass of boiling water and thickened with plaster of paris. Gilt may be nicely cleaned by using a mixture of alum, one ounce ; nitre, two ounces : salt, one ounce. all dissolved in a gill of water. For furniture use turpentine and sweet oil, and rub vigorously. There is nothing like dry rubbing with flannel for keeping the beauty and polish of wood. After all it is only half the chapter to w juirc beautiful things ; by far the most important part is keeping them beautiful. ’i Practical Receipts- Flour Muffinsâ€"Break two eggs in a bowl, beat, and silt in a pint and a half of flour. with atcasptwnful of bakingpowiier and half a trsspiouful of salt : add art so: milk to nuke a thick batter.

Where Weeds Come From- Tho origin of weeds has long been a mat- ter of question among meditative farmers. The majority of Weeds which infest our fields and pastures are not natives of the soil. llctaiiists who hate given the matter careful study assure us that the weeds in great part come from the old world and are not indigenous to the country.- Thc pro- bable cause of these imported weeds being in existence is that their roots have been mixed with grass and other seeds from for- eign ports, or that the germs of the plants were hidden among the seeds of imported plants. English florists and liortieulturists complain that they get no roots or earth from this \ccuntry in which the seed or the embryo of the troublesome “Jeinson” weed does not exist and in the same way our early farmers imported the English and French and roots. There is still another way by which seeds travel. Our farmers sometimes express wonder at the rapid growth of poisonous weeds in their pasture lands while there may be no similar plant for miles about. posturing inthewoods have brushed against the weed or that the seed has been blown against their hairy or woolly coots,where. it has remained until it has been rubbed off on the pasture soil. A farmer in buying new cattle frequently purchasesa variety or weed life for which he has little use, and cattle which in the past we have sent to the British markets have done their best to return to the mother country the gift of; weeds with which she endowed us in the! early days of settlement.

YOUNG FOLKS. stsnkiolii. the Man With the Well-Snufi“ ing Nose- A LEGEND OF JAPAN. [Normâ€"This amusing legend was trans- lated from memory by a young Japanese stud znt. It contains some appaiing errors in grammar, but than he was only seven~ teen, and had studied English just four years in a Japanese college whose curricu- lum includes Chinese, mathematics, French and German, besides the usual native studies. In view of the vast, almost dia- metric difference between his language and ours, it is simply marvelous that he expressed himself so intelligently, and maintained the thread of the narrative so well. The favorite English book in his college is Washington Irving’s Sketch-book, and all through the compasitions of the students its influence is discernible. They are eager to grasp idiomatic expressions, thinking that they give ease to their style, and their use of such terms as “Thank God,” and “ God bless me," are adopted ad libitum as a delicate attention to their professor of English] A good years ago their lived in the ut- most recess of some province apoor and ancient man. His occupation was a mere laborer. As all laborers do, he must spend for food and house the whole money he got in the day- Elmo by flowing perspiration and aching one. Thus he had no saving, though his head became already white and his arms and legs decay. The time had came even now that he could not work any more as be pleased. One night he made a morunful sigh and said : “Ali ! Ah ! Even the animal when he dies leaves his fine skin for memory. “I, a man, the head of all beings, am shameful not tolenve no honor after the death. “Can a man not get good honor, he must get stain honor, and thus defend from ob- livion.” Just at that time there was great pre- paring of a. garden at the court of Daimyo of that province. He was one of the feeble laborers to carry small stone from place to place. He live great distance from the court, so he must rise in midtime of night to start his going. When next time he go, “My wife,” he said to his wife, “you must burn this house to-day when the sun reach the top of heaven.” “Why,” answered the wife, trembling at him, “what do you mean? Will you like to burn this house? live since now '2” Why, where will u“ . l200 two-horsed wagons, and 3,000 hands. to the river. “Hereâ€"here are an odor," he cry, finger- ing at the river. “No, here is most strong odor,” he say quickly after, and thus he found the sword. He got also very large money as fee, and were admired and respected by every man at that age. The Daimyo asked for curionsness how he got so sensible nose: then he assured that he received it from God. Next day, when all were sitting admir- " God deprived by smelling air.

Ber- llu. unnehester and London. ' An ingenious Frenchman has just pub- lished a number of valuable facts about the street work of Paris, the cleanest city in the world. Every morning 2,600 male and 600 female scavengers, divided into 149 bri- gades, turn out to perform the toilet of the capital. The men work from 4 a. m. to 4 p. m., less two hours off for meals, or ten hours a day, earning, most of them, from 2shilliugs 6 pence to 3 shillings. The wo- men are engaged in the morning only, and, being. paid 3 pence an .hour, make only 1 shilling 6 pence a day at the outside. â€"-at any rate, to the regular scavengers. Should a shower occur in the evening, re- serves are sent out to clear away the slash and make the streets clean again. ' In our large English cities, on the other hand, states Cassell's Saturday Journal, much sweeping is done about midnight. As with us the Paris administrative has directcontrol oflitsscavengiug arrangements, which cost £240,000 9. year. In Vienna, where the same work is admirably done, it is otherwise. Each town contracts for a mumber of years with the transport gesell- schaft, the chief carrying company, for the in abundance, as is shown by some statis- tics relatiug to a. snowstorm of a short time back. In one day there were in use twenty snow plows, twenty sweeping ' machines, H You must obfige meylsaid the old man_ Berlin, however, is made presentable much “ Don’t be doubt of it. large money to day and house.” So he start off with singing, leaving his wife perplexed in tear. ii- ). 'l' 'D '1 He went to the court of Daimyo and worked as usual. At the time of the hiru-gozen (midday meal) his face was filled with an unpleasant appearance and he did a heavy distressed si h. gAll other laborers fall their rice to look at him. He raise his head and cried, doing a snuffiug with an earnest carefulness : “ The smell of fire l The smell of burning house l God bless me, it is tlie'liouse of mine! Alas l What will I do? Ah ! All of you-do me the favor to reclaim it from burning l” Then the crowd laugh loud at his foolish and said at the some time : “ You foolish old Wight l \tht do you mean? Your house is two and half ri (seven miles) distant from here. You cannot snuff its smell." We win get the more cheaply than Paris, thecostof sweeping will remake new the streets there being only £80,000 n. year. This sum, again, affords a curious contrast with that spent in the same way by Man- chester. Eight years ago the cleansing of Cottonopolis cost £90,000 per annuni; it now costs double that amountâ€"£180,000â€" though, of course, the city has not increased proportionately. But it must not be for- gotten that in our large towns the expendi- ture on street cleaning has of late years been abnormally heavy owing to the severe winters we have experienced and the con- sequent difficulty in clearing away snow What is the cost of London’s toilet? No statistician has yet attempted to estimate it, and indeed the whole subject has been neglected. This is a. pity, since there are some wonderful figures about cleaning the streets of the metropolis. ling perhaps are those relatin to London bridge. It is computed that a cut 200,000 pedestrians and 20,000 vehicles cross that structure every day. Each leaves behind a little shoe leather or a little ironâ€"just a trifle. But when litter and dust are added to these minute losses the whole fills between three and four carts.

For this reason, our best wishes followed his Excellency to India, where he was to assume heavier Lord Lane downs resigned his post on Januor ‘26 to Lord Elgin, the new Viceroy, an it is gratifying to know from the Calcutta press that, before leaving ludia, he received from all classes and creeds expressions of respect and of approval as the popular reward for his administration. The Gover- nor-Generalship of India is the highest gubernatorial position her Majesty can con- fer. It is almost an absolute monarchy. But as the powers which ap ertain to it are great, so are its responsi ilities. The Viceroy must surrenderhis cliar e unim- paired, and must, if possible, ad to the SECURITY OF BRITISH POWER in the East, and to the general happiness and contentment of the people over whom he has ruled. Lord Laudsdowne, judging by the addresses he received on the occasion of his departure, has been eminently sue. cessful. Tne English residents, the Mo. hammedans, the Sikhs, the Talukdars of Oudh, the Hindus, all joined in doing him honor. Yet his work has‘ been one of great difficulty. He has had to deal with inter. national questions, with issues in which race and religion have been involved, and with economic matters, such as the currency and the commercial relations. With regard to the first the Mohammednns pointed to his triumphs. They say in their address that they congratulate his Excellency upon the firmer basis upon which he has placed the alliance witthfghanistnn, andfthe success with which he has secured the cordial friendship and co-operation of the ruler of that State. The Ameer is now IN COMPLETE HARMONY with British policy, and the northern king- dom in a bulwark against aggression. In Lord Lnnsdowno had a difficult task to perform. The early marriages among the Hindus were evils. as serious when dealt with, as suttee, a religi- ous but inhuman rite now abolished. These marriages, prearranged as they were on the principle that women were no better than slaves, wore stopped through the agency of a law affecting the age of consent. The enactment, with other agencies, produced riots. Lord Lansdowne’s firmness hero asserted itself. He said in a speech at this period : “Let me tell you in the plainest “language, that the Government of India “has no intention of permitting these ex- “ hibitions of lawlessness to be renewed; “ Our policy is one of strict neutrality and “toleration, but that toleration does not “ extend to disorder and crime, and who- “ ever is at the bend of affairs in India, de- “ pend upon it that disorder and crime will “ be put down with a strong and fearless “ hand.” , The intimation that strong mens- ures would be resorted to put an end to the trouble, and as a consequence civil dissen- sion is at an end. It was A BOLD STROKE that brought the silver issue to a head. That it will be productive of good is the universal belief. Lord Lsnsdowne has been a firm and successful administrator. He has surrendered the Indian Empire to his successor in a better condition than that in which he found it. As he went to India The most aturt. carrying Canada’s best wishes with him, he returns tr. England standing higher than lever in the estimation of the people with whom he spent his first official term. ______o._____._ The Indian' Money Lead on The Indian money lender almost every- where is a. thorough Shylock. Rajah Brooke tells me that in Sarawak, where land may not be sold for debt, unless as a penalty for swindling,aud where a. limit is put on the interest that his courts will enforce, the Indian money lender has been found as hard and merciless as the Cliiuaman and Malay are fair and reasonable. With men like these,and an ignorant peasantry,oue would have thought that English Judges would have done their best so to administer the law between the‘two as to give the debtor a fair chance, while allowing the creditor what was justly duo. But they are so hide- bonnd, such slaves to the letter of the law and to English precedents, that not a help- ing ban 1 can the debtor get.aiid the courts are mere machines which the moneylcuder ‘ sets in motion or directs at his pleasure.

The court of first instance, a native subordinate Judge, appointed a com- mittee to examine the creditor’s accounts, which reported them as very suspicious. Still, a bond for the amount sued for had. been given, and, in the face of rulings by the High Court, the sub-judge had no nlternativo but to give a decree for the full sum. And an appeal to the High Court of over much the lady might have been de- frauded,they decided the bond was in order and the village must go. ._._.__â€"_.._ Woman Omcified in Hungari- The Vienna correspondent of the London :Globe reports that an extraordinary and ihorrible drama has been enacted at the little village of Rekessoly, near Teniesvar, in Hungary. Therese Kleitsch, an old woman who lived in poverty, had long been alleged by the superstitious villagers to possess the power of a witch. Misfortunes in the village were attributed to her alleged evil influence, and the outbreak of an epi- demic among the children was declared to be her work. She was also supposed to have cast a spell over the stables. with the result that many horses and cattle recently died of disease, and this apparently incens- ed her neighbors. A plot was therefore formed in the village and a terrible ven- geance carried out. The unfortunate woman was seized, gagged. and after being flogged was crucified. The police have opened an inquiry, but have not yet luc- rceeded in discovering the authors of the “0-0.”.â€" Hert Gatkc, the naturalist, asserts that godwits and plovers can fly at the rate of 240 miles an hour. . .....,.._... -. , i ...x..-.... ..... w-
