 iPPHflPPJ^Hil^'P-l"!! MV.'i' 1^. w r: l^ PI] M n m HOUSEHOLD. Indoor Aomflmflnt for uhildnn- The woodboE'vill acd one if H k fall of â- ticks, Bplit OS roawi, of aiffereat kinds of wood. Let t|ie ttttle foUu take oat the sticks, one l^one, and bring them toyoa to name. Oilnot, oak, maple, bitch, beach, elm, hemlock, and ash wood may be in that pile in the box, and even the little sir-year- old can easily be taoght to detect and cor- rectly name some m the varieties. The smooth, mottled bark of the beach, the rag- ged bhreds of the yellow and my birch, and ind the color and crystal Deads oi pitch gum ot the pine and hemlock when in round s^cks. Sections of limbs are snre guides of their kind and easy to name, but not so al- ways when the wood is in split sticks, with- out a tell-tale half -inch of bark surface. Perhi^ps yon cannot tell a chip of maple wood from one of elm or beach. If so, you can study the contents of the woodbox and chip basket with your chUdren. Tell them elm wood and sound rock maple and oak wood, whetiier in split or round sticks, sel- dom snap when burning, and are compara- tively safe for night fires in open, deep fire- places. Tell them if they want to bum big hoies in mamma's carpet and rugs, to lay butternut and poplar and soft-wood pine, cedar or hemlock on the open fire and let the sticks pop live coals right and left, as well as straight ahead from the grate. Tell them an old nurse, many years ago, burned a house and seven poor people in it one night because she could not tell one kind of wood from another. She rolled a great backlog of butternut wood on to the andirons of we big fireplace one evening for a night fire to keep warm a little new baby and its mother, believing the log was of elm wood, and when they were all asleep a live coal snapped out and burned and smoldered away in the floor till it blazed into fierce, leaping flames that roared and rusied ao terribly swift, that all the people up stairs were burned in their beds. I once saw a woman camp down one night on a thick cotton comfortable spread before an open grate, while watching with a sick child. She knew so little about wood she thought one kind was as safe as another, and did not think the poplar sticks 'she had just laid on the fire would snap and throw oals, but they did, and if the child had not roused with the dense smudge of burning cotton, no doubt the smoldering puff would soon have blazed and done terrible mischief. I know a little boy who has a boxful of sections of different woods. He is always on the lookout for a new specimen and- has a bit of every kind of tree or shrub he can find in his father's fields and woods. When visitors come, he delights in showing them his collection of woods, and in having them puzzle over the pretty cubes and cylinders of wood, and if they mistake a kind he is quick to know it. This indoor study of chips and wood bi ought in to replenish winter fires will amuse the children when time hangs heavy, and by close notice of bark and fibre and grain and smell and color and slivering of wood they will soon learn to detect the common kinds from each other, and, per- haps, wake to such an interest in the study, that when summer time again comes, they will commence a collection of native woods, and the green growing trees and shrubs will bear to them new, keen interest. Mutton Suet as a Household Bemedy. It is very vexing and annoying, indeed, to have one's lips all break out with cold sores, but, like the measles, it is far better to have the oold strike out than to strike in. A drop of warm mutton suet applied to the sores at night, just before retiring, will soon cause them to disappear. This u also an excellent remedy for parched lips and chapped hands. It should be applied at night in the liquid state, and be well rubbed and heated in before a brisk fire, which often causes a smarting sensation, but the roughest of hands, by this treatment, will often be restored to uieir natural condition by one application. If every one could but know the healing properties of so simple a thing as a little mutton suet, no housekeeper would ever be without it. Get a little from your buteher, fry it out yourself, run into small cakes, and put away ready for use. For cuts and bruises it is almost indispens- able, and where there are children there are always plenty of cuts and bruises. Many a deep gash that would have frightened most women into sending for a physician at once, I have healed with no other remedies than a littie mutton suet and plenty of good castile soap. A wound should always be kept clean, and the bandages changed every day, or every other day. A drenching of warm soap suds from ttae purest soap that can be ob- tained is not only cleansing but healing then cover the surface of the wound with a bit of old white muslin dipped into melted mutton suet. Renew the drenching and the suet every time the bandages are changed, and you will be astonished to see how ra- ^dly the ugliest wound will heaL Gleaning Lamps. Cleaning the lamps ?- very apt to be put off until ue latter pa }f the day, as they seem able to wait attention better than some otiier things. In many households the dnsk of early evening reminds the harrying hoosewif e that her lamps are still neglected, and die tiien fiUs than hastily and is oblig- ed to luht one at onice. This is wrong, be- cause ue vapor of the oil about a fredily- filled lamp is liable to oxploeion. A lamp should be fiUed at least two thirds in depth, and one which has but a spoonful or two of m1 in it should never be lighted, as tibe onpty oil spaoe is filled with explosive vapor. Lamps filled to overflowing are very nn- deanly, scnling everything uought in con- tact with them and to most persons, the od«r of kerosene is extremely nnpleasant. A lamp-wi should fit exactly into its spaoe and diould be kept dean. When it becomes Uack frcmi the sediment in the lamp, it most be tiirown sway, or washed and dried before usiag again. When nearly boToed away, a wick may be lengtiiened by a fold of canton flannel, idiich, teaching to the bott(»n of the lamp, wiD feed the wick as ikt cA buns out. It is not best to pnt strma of red Samtel or yara into a lamp, as themride abofaU be ookriesa, that any im- piuiU s e may be ama.

In conversation with D. H. Summers, for- merly of Denver, Col., who came out this fall with a party of miners from Forty Mile Creek, we learned that the existence of liv- ing mastodons as not the mere fabrica- tions of Northern furriers, but that the Stick Indians had positively told him that such animiJs had.beenaeen by them. One of the Indians said that while hunting one day in that unknown section he came across an immense track sunk to a depth of several inches in moss. It much resembled an ele- phant's track but was larger round than a barrel. The Indian followed np thb curious track, which to all appearance was very fresh, tracking from one immense stride to anoth- er, a distance of some miles, when he came in full view of his game. The hunter gave one look, then turned and fled. These Indi- ans as a rule, are the bravest hunters. With no other weapon than their spear they will attack and kill a grizzly, but the immense proportions of this new style of game both startled and filled the hunter, brave as he was, with fear.. He described it as being larger than Post Trader Harper's store, with great shining yellowish tusks and a mouth large enough to swallow him at a single gulp. He said the animal was doubtless similar to those which furnished the immense bones scattered over that section. If such animals are now in existence, and Mr. Summers has no reason to doubt the veracity of the Indian, as other Indians, and also Mr. Harper con- firmed it, they inhabit a section very high in altitude, but rarely visited by human he- ings We have also no reason to doubt the Indian tale, for at no very dbtant period Yukeon country was inhabited by these ani- mals, as hundreds of their massive skeletons strewn along the creeks are silent but truth- ful witnesses. On Forty Mile Creek bones can be found projecting partly from the sand and among the driftwood of the stream on the creek oislow this these skre also eletons, quite numerous. The Diasapearance of the Blonde. A highly interesting question is being agitated in Europe. It has been asserted that there has been a gradual decrease of blondes in Crermany. Almost 11,000,000 school-children were examined in Oomany, Austria and Belgium, and the result show- ed that Switzerluid has only 11.10, Austria 19. 79 and Germany 31.80 per oent, of pure blondes. Thus the country, which since the days of ancient Rome has been prover- bially known as the home of yellcw hair, has to-day only thirty-two pure blondes in 100, while the average of pure brunettes is fourteen per cent. The fifty-three per cent. of the mixed type are said to be undergoing a transformation into pare lirnnettes. Dr. Beddoe, in England, Iws collected a number of statistics which seem to point in the same directron. Amons 726 women he ex- amined he found 369 wnnettes and 357 blondes. Of the brunettes he found that seventy-eight per cent, were married, while of the blendes only sixty- dght per cent, were married. Thus it woiUd seem that the brunette has ten chances of getting married in England to a blonde's nine. In France a simuar view has been pnt forth by M. Adolph de Candolle. M. de Candolle found that when both parents haye eyes of the same colonr eignty-dght per cent, inherit this oolw. But it is a canons fact tiiat more fonales than males have blac^ w brown eyeatotiie proportion of forty-five to forty-three. It seems that with difeent coktred eyes in the two paicmts fifty three per oent. follow the father in being dark- eyed, and fifty per oent. follow flie mothw in bdng da^eyed.

Smdung ^m not ctadet immunity from ooategion. Dr. Martineao, a French phyddan, aa- aerts that caroonato of lithia and araeniate of aoda in aerated water, used to thj «â-  non at other drinks, is almost infuliblefw diabetes. It is popularly supposed that flame, or at least a temperature equal to the white or red heatof iron, is neoessary to ignite benzene vapour, but this is a mistake. Friction can devdop snffident dectridty to inflame ben- zene vapour, especidly if the surface rubbed be very dry or varnished with shdlaj. The locomotive is recommended as a cheap hygrometo- for farmers and others living near railways. When the escaping steam remains long suspended the air is near its point of saturation with moisture; but, when the steam quickly disappears, as if swallowed up, the weather is dry, and there is littie prospect of rain. Should a horse refuse to drink, and cough after BK allowing a little, it indicates, sore- throat; or swelling of the glands of the neck. It is one of the symptoms of distemper. Give the horse a waim bran maih, with one drachm of chlorate of potash in it, daily for a week or ten days. There is nothing seri- ous to be apprehended. When milk is slowly and partially frozen, the ice takes up the greater part of the cream; the unfrozen remdnder contains the casein, milk, sugar, and sdts, but, in conse- quence of its lots of cream, appears like diluted milk, and would be described as such if merely tested by the ordinary lactometric instrnment. Milk which has been frozen should therefore be well thawed and shaken up, and not sold whilst any ice is visible. Polish suitable for polishing pianos i A fine varnish is made as follows. Take seven hundred parts of alcohol, fifteen parts of co- pal, seven parts of gum-arabic, and thirty parts of shellac. The resins are first pulve- rised and bolted through a piece of muslin, the powder u placed in a flask, the alcohol poured over it, and the flask corked. By putting the flask in a moderatdy warm place, the solution will be accomplished in two or three days. It^is then strained through muslin and kept in hermetically sealed hot- ties. Coal-ashes are of some value as a fertiliser, especially to mbc with clayey soiL But the use to make of the ashes is for roads and paths. A good covering, over which a little soil is thrown, 'will soon form a hard solid road. To make a better walk, prepare and level the bed, excavating it a few inches be- low the general surface. Pour on a coating of coal-tarandooveritthickly with coal-ashes. When this is dry, repeat with another coat of tar and ashes, and so on, until there are four coate of tar and as man'v of adies. In a short time this will harden and make a walk as hard as stone. PBABLSOFTKUTfl. If a man has a right to be proud of any- thing, it is of a good action done as it ought to be, without any base interest lurking at the bottom of it. Any system of instruction which does not teach a lad to think falls very far short of the best resulto of education, and leaves him without the most vital element of success. A fussy, nervous mother who is always trembling for the safety of her darlingst and will not let them do anything tnat their companions rejoice in, either makes her sons weak and defident in self-reliance or drives them to deceitful habits of doing on the sly what they would not wish her to find ont,^ though very likely in itself the amusement is harmless enough. The intervals of life should not be left to haphazardâ€" should not be regarded as idle waters in which each one may drift at pleasure without compass or guide. They should be held as truste for certain definite objects, and regarded of as much importance and requiring as much thought and care as the principal business of life, which too often holds us 'with a relentiess and nerve- relaxing grip. No one should underrate the inevitable sorrows of life, nor deny to them the sym- pathy and loving ud which should ever be extended to them biit permanent misery cannot be regarded with very much respect. It certainly speaks of grave defects in character, of faults that need pruning away, of feeble qualities that seed stimulating. Life is largdy what we make it, and, what- ever may be its clouds and storms, they will be chased away at length by the clear sun- shine of a strong and noble character. "Fill thy heart witii goodness, and thou wilt find that the world is fall of good." â-  â-  • Unoonventional f e^e. Everybody has enoountered the people who take to themsdves what they suppose to be the credit of being anconventmnal, who offer a statement of that fact as the sufficient excuse for all sorts of violations of good breeding and social rnlea, and who as- sume the license to do aa tiiey please, as if they had thepowerto liftthemselvesabovethe authority of ordinary canons of behaviour. It is a pity that theae foolishly aelf -blinded and, for the most part, deoideUy unpleaaant people cannot be made to see thdr conduct in ita true aspect. It should not be forgotten that society is, in a senae, in an arttfidd state. Whatever generd natard prindplet undedie it, its formulated rules an pardy arbitrary, and it is, in efifoct, a conventiond arrangement. It follows that one who wishes to take part in its aodd life muat accept ita conditiona. To attempt to be unoonventiond in aociety ia an anomaly and a oontradietion of terma.
