Water Funeral in Norway. One of the chief men of Christiansund had died, and was about to be buried. His body was to be conveyed across the waters of the bay to the church, where the funeral ceremony would take place. The day was intensely hot; the sun poured down his rays from a cloudless sky; not a breath of air stirred in this landlocked, hill-sheltered bay. All na ture seemed to rejoice in sunshine and prosperity. The houses on the slopes, one above another, looked white and tranquil. Nothing could be less in har mony with the ceremony about to take place. In the distance, on the oppo site side of the bay, a crowd of people could bo discerned, quiet, motionloss. A landing-stage was decked with green boughs and garlands, terminating at the water’s edge in an arch of green loaves. At the foot of the landing-stage some eight or ten boats were waiting. Sud denly there was a slight stir in the crowd. The coffin was being borne on men’s shoulders down to its appointed boat. A few minutes more and the cortege set out. Tuc first boat con tained the musicians, and anything more sad, solemn, and mournful than the dirge they played could not be imagined. It was distressing in wail ing gloom and misery- A certain occa sional discord mingled with the har mony, the very embodiment of dcspnii and heartbroken sorrow. Immediately following the musicia is was a boat richly decorated with garlands of leaves and flowers in the form of a canopy, that might rather have decked a brido than the dead. Below this gorgeous and beautiful canopy, covered by no pall, cumbered by no trappings, reposed the coffin. The boat had all tho ap pearance of a triumphal bnrge. The sight wa3 one of the strangest, most in teresting, most impressive I had ever seen—perhaps partly from its very novelty—this qunint mode of burying tho dead. For a quarter of an hour wo watched tho procession in its slow, stately, and solemn march. The oars were muffled, and not a sound marked its progress savo the wail of the music, which never ceased in molanclioly strains. Every time the discord came it jarred the feelings and shot a shiver through the frame that no self-control could resist. On and on they went, boat nfter boat, that one containing tho coffin nlwnys the most conspicuous, the eye ever reverting to it with a mourn ful fascination. The procession passed onward until it entered a narrow oanai between the islands, and was lost to view. Less nnd less < istinct, slowor and slowor grew tho wailing sounds of tho music, until they ceased altogether. Then we knew that tho procession was landing, nnd Wns about to make its way on foot to the church. A state funeral in Westminster Abbey, with all the glitter of pomp and ceremony, tho stir ring strains of tho “ Dead March,” hnd never impressed mo ns did tnis simple procession. This water funeral re mains among tho most vivid and dis tinct, most interesting m d most solemn recollections I have ke| t of Norway.— The Argosy. me rnniK aND HOUSEHOLD. The Buoyancy cl Wafer. Speaking of the Soawanhnka disaster the Trenton (N. J-.) Gazette says: Pres ence of mind, and a slight knowledge of the specific gravity of tho human body, would have saved much of this frightful loss of life. There was loose wood enough about the boat to have floated ten times tho number of passengers on tho ill-fated vessel, if it hnd been used with judgment. Tho human body weighs about n pound in the water, and a single chair will carry two grown per sons. That is, it would koop their heads above water, which is nil that is neces sary when it is a question of life and death. The burning vessel was close to shore, the water was calm and warm, and all these passengers might easily have jumped overboard and paddled laughing ashore, if they had only possessed nnd used the simple know! edge that one linger placed upon a stool, or a chair, or n small box, or a piece of board, would easily keep the head above water, while the two feet and the other hand might be used as paddles to pvopel toward the shore. It is not at all neces sary to know to swim to be able to keep from drowning in this way. A litll experience of the buoyant power of matter, and faith in it, is all that is re quired. We have seen a small boy who could not swim a stroke propel himself himself back and forth across a deep, wide pond, by means of a board that would not sustain five pounds weight. In fact, that sometime small boy is now writing this. Children and all others should have practice in the sustaining power of water. In nine cases outo tec, the knowledge that what will bus tain a pound weight is all that is neces sary to keep one’s head above water, will serve better in emergencies than the greatest expertness as n swimmer. A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power of water will naturally try to climb on top of the floating object < which he tries to savo himself. If it large enough, that is all right. But it generally not large enough, and hnlf a struggling group is often drowned the desperate scramble of a life-and- death struggle to climb on top of apiece of wreck or other floating object, not large enough to keep them all entirely above water. This often happens when pleasure boats capsize. All immedi ately want to get out of the water on top of the overturned or half-filled boat, and all are drowned except those whom the wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If they would simply trust the water to sustain ninety-nine hundredths of the weight of their bodies, and the disabled boat the other hundredth, they might all be saved under most circumstances. An overturned or water-filled wooden boat will sustain more people in this way than it will carry. It would keep the heads above water of as many peo ple as could get their hands on the gun wale. These are simple facts, easily learned, and may some day save your life. There are now three Hebrews in the United States Congress—Messrs. Jonas, Morse and Einstein. In the House there are six German Representatives, among whom are Heilman, of Indiana; Poehler, of Minnesota; Muller, of New York, and Deuster, of Wisconsin. A Sound Agricultural Creed. The agriculturists of Canada, in con vention assembled, lately adopted a creed good enough to be subscribed to by their brethren all over the continent. Listen: IVe believe in small farms and thorough cultivation; we believe that the soil lives to eat, as well ns the owner, nnd ought therefore to be well manured; we believe in going to the bottom of things, and therefore deep plowing, and enough of it, all the better if it be a subsoil plow; we believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it, making both the farm and the farmer rich at once; we believe that every farm should own a good farmer; we believe that the fer tilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence; without these, lime, gypsum and guano would be of little use; we believe in good fences, good farmhouses, good orchards, and good ohildron enough to gather the fruit; we believe in n clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupbonrd, a clean dairy, and a clear conscience; we believe that to ask n man’s advice is not stoop ing, but of much benefit; we believe that to keep a placo for everything, and everything in its place, saves many a step, nnd is pretty sure to lead to good tools and to keeping them in order; we believe that kindness to stock, like good shelter, is snvingof fodder; we believe that it is a good thing to keep an eye on experiments, and note all, good and bad; we believe that it is a good rule to sell grain when it is ready; wo believe in producing the best butter and cheese, and marketing it when it is ready. Carbolic Acid In the Garden. The general employment of carbolic acid for sanitary purposes induced a correspondent, who relates his experi ences, to try whether it might not bo applied with equal advantage in some of the many diseases to which vegeta bles, as woll as flesh, nro heirs. II first experimented with a solution of one part of tho acid in twenty parts of water, which was allowed to stand for twenty-four hours before being used. By that tirno a Inyor of fat or oil had appeared on tho surfnee, the contact of which with plants speedily destroyed them. This was subsequently with drawn by means of a pipette, and the olear fluid bolow alone used. This proved au equally dangerous applica tion, for some beds of savoys and rad ishes, which were watered with it in order to free them from ground fleas with which they wore infested, were totally destroyed by it. A weaker solu tion, consisting of one part of ncid in fifty of water, proved scarcely less in jurious to vegetation. Tho application was now tried in the still more diluted form of one part in a hundred, the supernatant oil being carefully removed before use. In these proportions it answered admirably ns an insecticide, without onusing tho slightest injury to even the tendcrest plants. A single ap plication effectually freed the beds from ground lice and similar destructive ver min. A very small quantity introduced into an ant hill so disturbed its busy occupants that, contrary to all the habits of these insects, they abandoned their pup» in their hurried flight. A cherry tree, whoso ripo fruit afforded a favorite hunting ground for these ants, was at once proteoted from their visits by a slight application of the solution to its stem, though they returned to tho attack in four or five days when the pungent smo.l of the acid was lost. Their further depredations were onco for all checked, however, by a girdle of cottonwood impregnated with the strong acid being bound round the trunk. Many other varieties of insects wore kept at bay or driven from their haunts by the same means, which also formed a most valuab’e protection against mildew, with which tho rose and poach treos in the garden were sadly troubled. In ono Instance, a rose tree which had borno no flowers for five provious years in consequence of mil dew attacking tho young stems of the buds immediately they were formed was observed to bear a magnificent crop the first season that a tim. ly appli cation of the solution was made.—The Farmer. Make Friends. Lifo is very critical. Any word may be our last. Any farewell, even amid glee and merriment, may be forever. If this truth wero but burned into our consciousness, nnd if it ruled a9 a deep conviction and real power in our lives, would it not give a new meaning Lo our human relationshipsP Would it not make us far more tender than we some times areP Would it not oftentimes put a rein upon our rash and impetuous speech P Would we carry in our hearts the miserable suspicions and jealousies that now so often embitter the fountains ofourlivesP Would we beso impatient of the fault of othersP Would we allow trivial misunderstandings to build up a wall between us and those who ought to stand very close to usP Would we keep alive petty quarrels, year after year, which a manly word any day would composeP Would we pass old friends or neighbors on the street with out recognition, because of some real or fancied slight, some wounding of pride, or some ancient grudgeP Or would we be so chary of the kind words our commendations, our sympathy, our comfort, when weary hearts all about us are breaking for just such expres sions of interest or appreciation as we have in our power to give?—Christian at Work.

Hunting Wild Hogs in Tennessee. A letter from Tennessee appears in the Cincinnati Commercial as follows: The early settlers brought hogs with them into Tennessee, nnd having little or no food for them, suffered them to stray off among tho hills to root for their own living. The mast, which is very abuniant in these hills, consists of hickory, beech and chestnut, as well as acorns, so that ho;>s, deer and turkeys grow fat on it in the fall and winter. Hogs stray ofl miles away from their owners and become wild as deer, and it requires as much skill and cunning to capturo the one os the other, and in course of time their whole nature is entirely changed. Instead of the fat, lazy lubbers as wo see them on the farms,*, or as a house-pet in an Irish shanty, they become ferocious wild bensts. They grow tall and slab-sided. Their cars stnnd up s! might, their hair grows long nnd wiry, and, in short, the arc a different animal in naturo, habits and appearance. Mountain wolves nro plenty in these hills, but they seldom attempt to cap ture a hog from the drove, knowing they are likely to be capturod them selves. The people who live in the hills de pend almost entirely on game and wild hogs for their supply of meat- The wild hog is not fit for food in tho summer, bnt grows fnt in the late fall and enrly winter on the great abundance of mast in these grent forests. The wild hog here is not considered the property of any one settler, but is looked upon as common stock property for all who may chooso to pursue and capture him. After a hard night’s rest on a blanket before a big log fire, we aro up by day light to find about three inches of snow on the ground, just what we wanted. Even tho long Kentucky rifle is left hanging in tho rack in the cabin. Our utfit consists of n stout hickory club and a butcher knife, tho latter tightly belted around tho waist in a leather scabbard. These are tho only sporling tools used for hunting wild hogs in these hills, and they nre very effective, as we shall presently see. Some seven or eight of us, with ns many stout dogs, set out that morning, and after a tramp of three miles or more we begin to discover signs of gnmo. Wo now halt and hold a council of war. Our old bushwocker, Jack Nuwland, is chosen captain of the party, and the plans of the hunt chalked out by him. “You see, boys,” said Captain Jack, * here is the rango of a drove, and you see by the signs and fresh beds, ns well as the tracks in the snow, that there is about twenty hogs in tho drove, big and little. Most on’em is big fellows, and will give a hard fight. Now, Jim nnd Nod, take two of the dogs nnd go round that pint of hill over thar. Sam, you and Rob just kinder crawl around over that ar' nob, nnd lay low. The rest on us will follow on the track. When l see the hogs I’ll hollor liko an owl. Then you answer, hoo* hool hoot samo as aie, case 1 see the hogs rootin’. Then pitch in nnd head ’em off till the dogs come up.” Tho snow gave us a good ohnneo to see the hogs n good away off, and we had not proceeded far before we sighted them a few hundred yards nway, busily turning up the leaves in search of food. Hero we halted behind trees, nnd Cap tain Jock gave the call in imitation of the big-horned owl, which was an swered by tho other two parties. This was the signal for attack. Wc started in on n run to surprise the game, nnd soon the dogs had brought tho hogs to bay. The rest of the hunters now nr rived with all the dogs, and the fight commenced, each one urging his dog to seize a hog by the ear, and, wntohing his chance, would jump astride of him, and holding on with ono hand, would put his deadly blows over the head with his club, aud as soon as down, out with Ilia butoher knife and plunge it up to the hilt in the hog’s throat—then off for another. Tho chose and slaughter aro thus kept up for a mile or m. re, or un til tho dogs and men aro tired out or all the licgs killed, when wo rctrnco our s^cps and mako arrangements for gath ing up our game. We have seen a stout hog bound off through the woods with his rider while tho dog was fast to his ear, and carry both a considerable distance before being killed. The sport is ludicrous in tho extreme, as well as being attended with considerable danger; and unless one is familiar with it lie is pretty apt to get severely hurt by the side wipes of the hog’s longtusks. When we engaged this drove the fight was exciting nnd iurious. As for ourselves, though not a coward, we must confess that we often preferred to take refuge up a sapling and watch tho fight than to participate in it. The day was far advanced when the sport ended. We all assembled pnd built a large fire, aud proceeded to drag the slaughtered hogs into camp, which proved a very laborious job. When all the killed had been brought in we counted eleven large fat porkers. It was now near dark, and we concluded to camp there for the night, returning to where wo had left our provisions in the morning. Oa first discovering the game and bringing it into camp we hung up the hogs to have them ready for transportation. We cut out tender loins and broiled them on the live coals, and enjoyed a hearty supper and break fast. During the night we were awakened by a pack of wolves which had assembled on a neighboring hill to give us a {fraud serenade. We could not see them, but should judge, from the great noise they made, there were fifty at least, and had we not eight or ten stout dogs and a large fire they would doubtless have made an attempt to cap ture and carry off our game. Fennty’vania Farm*. The road ran southeast for a few miles through rich bottom-lands. Hero and there a small, snug farmhouse was sot in a space absolutely bar 1 of trees; an enormous red-roofed barn, corn- cribs, patent bee-hives, smoke-houses and cider-presses huddled about it in a bare clayey yard. Outside were great orchards, dusky nnd cool in the hot moonlight, the gnarled trees soon to red den with old-fashioned Baldwins and Rambos and knotty golden quinces; beyond these tho fields of Indian corn rolled over the low hills, the blades shining dark and green in the glare; or fields of oats, the wind sending gray ripples over them, or nn ashy, feathory stretch of buckwheat, mounting up tho hillside. The farmer’s wife, in her calico gown, her hair knotted in a little knob back from her sallow face, was usually in sight somowhere, and always at work. She was picking peas in tho garden, o: she was making soap in a huge smoking caldron hung over a fire near tho woll, or she was drawing great loaves of flaky bread from nn oven, while innumerable r- ns of gingerbread, or cherry-pies waited their turn. There was the sluggish oalm ot physical lux ury everywhere. The air was full of the odor of pigpens and drying meat, mixed with new-mown hay and honey suckles. Roses, which were delicate nurslings with town florists, ran riot in feverish crimson over the barns and henneries; the endless lines of hills which walled in every landscape were fawn-colored with tho early chestnut blossoms. " Tons of these nuts rot every year in this State alone,” boasted tho doctor. "There are enough chestnuts wasted in our mountain ranges from the lakes to Georgia to feed all famishing India. This is the best fed country in the world, and old Pennsylvania is the best fed State in it.” Our travelers were offered boarding in the hill farmhouses at from three to five dollars per week. They found shelter in an old houso which lay di rectly in a gorge between two moun tains; the creek, which rnn brawling down tho gnp,swept past on either side ot it, and met again, leaving iton a little island, r.ocessible only by stepping- stones, which were always cove; ed by high water. In all tho seventy years in which the owner had lived in the house it had not occurred to him to make a bridge of a couple of planks. “ It is a place for a murder,’’ deolnvod Mrs. Mulock. The house was gray and tho fences gnawed with age. Old Nit- tany, a raggod, stern mountain, inacces sible except to bears and rattlesnakes, frowned hoavily down upon it; the stream was full of whispering voices; a cold wind blew perpetually down tho gorge. But the doctor and Sarah found as much delight nnd beauty in this cut of the hills as if it had been the Vale of Cashmere. They fished for trout, or went on law-defying hunts for wood cock; they rode up nearly perpend icu lar wagon-trails left by the charcoal burners; they made friends on the fow half-tilled patches grouped about the yellow store and postoffice, in which tho feeble gossip of these lonely hill- farms found universal tongue and ears, and where the proprietor dispensed let tors, boots, calicoes, sugar nnd spirit ualistic doctrines to all comors.—Har per’s Magazine. Florida Oranges. A letter from Florida to the Boston Herald says: Nino years ngo a man nnd his wife came down here in the winter season. He was in bad health, nnd his physician told him he would have to roside every winter in Florida. His financial condition was very weak, nnd lie calculated that it would be oheaper to estnbHsh a homo and cultivate Ills eatables than to live at a hotel. He came up to Falatka, and purchased nnd laid out a home. On three or four acres of this land ho sowed orango seed. An orange grove is ono of the prettiest sights in the world, and gentlomen originally set out groves for their beauty aud adornmont rather than witli any pecuniary result in mind. Such was this gentleman’s design. They told him t hat in eight years he would have a bearing grove worth thousands of dol lars. He smiled, and said ho had no in tention of remaining in Florida half that lime. Circumstances, however, have kept him here, and to-day, instend of his Florida residence being a heavy drag on his business resources, his Florida estate pays him over $4,000 a year. Those men who, investing no capital, receive from tho ground such an in come as $5,000 to $10,000 are singularly fortunate. With other orange grow ers there is less romance and cause for wonder at their success, since they buy a grove for from $15,000 to $50,000; but even then the income on the invest ment is unequaled in business annals. Orange groves are, however, beginning to be appraised at their true commercial value, and bargains are getting scarcer and more difficult on the part of the purchaser to consummate. The World’s Sea-Going Vesse According to some tables published in an Austrian nautical periodical, tho total number of sca-going vessels of all na tions lost last year was greater than in 1878, owing piesumably to the excep tionally unfavorable weather which prevailed in the early part of 1879. In cluding 97 sailing ships and 19 steamers reported “missing,” of which no vestige has been found, 1,523 sailing ships and 125 steam vessels were lost in 1879,while in 1878 the total losses amounted to only 362 sailing ships and 130 steam vessels. Classified according to the flag under which they were sailing, it appears that 504 of the lost sailing Bhips and 79 of the steamers belonged to England; 218 sailing and 8 steam vessels to America; 124 sailing and 3 steam ships to France; 117 sailing ships and 5 steamers to Ger many ; 112 sniling vessels and 1 stenmer toNorway; 64 sailing ships to Italy; 61 sailing vessels and 2 steamers to Hol land ; 54 sailing vessels to Sweden; 41 to Denmark; 40 to Greece; 28 sailing vessels nnd 1 steamer to Austria; 18 sailing vessels and 1 steamer to Portugal; 17 sailing nnd no less than 8 steam ves sels to Spain; 12 sailing vessels to Rus sia; 5 to Nicaragua; 3 to Chili, and 1 each to Bolivia,B ilgium, Liberia,Guate mala, New Granada and Costa Rica.

Curious Intermittent Spring in Guatemala. M. De Thiersant, charge d’affaires of France in Guatemala, gives, in La Nature, the following account of a phe nomenon witnessed by him in the last- named country. At about ten miles from the capital, near a town called Ne- jnpn, on the lowest declivities of tho volcano of San Salvador, there is a spring known in the country under the name of Rio Huido (fleeting river), which, for a period of seven consecutive years, furnishes enough water to form a true river. The waters of this spring are crystalline and wholesome, and, it is said, are excellent for certain diseases like leprosy, and for strengthening the system when debilitated by the climate. As soon as the seven years are com pleted, these same waters disappear at a certain definite hour, the spring ceases to flow, and the river bed, becoming completely dried, exhibits thereafter nothing but sand and dust. The inter mittent periods have been as follows: From 1866 to 1873 the water flowed; from 1873 to 1880 the spring ceased; and in the month of January of the present year, the spring began to flow again.
