that an ounce of alum will purify a whole
hogshead ol foul water ; that a furred fee
kettle may he cleaned by boiling in it a few
spoon'ttls of ammonia , and that if yeast ie
bitter, it may be swe -tened by thrusting in

Bulls aty) Bears.
'
,fi et J mo '°KT “ „ hear, )f is . be
lieved . to be this: When a dealer in stocks
or - for (hat matter, in merchandise, had sold
more than he was capable of delivering, he
was, of course, bare of the article, and it was
naturally for his interest that prices should
fall in order that he should recover his en
garments and be no longer bare. From
the adjective bare, the transition to the sub. :
stantive of the same sound—bear was suf
ficiently easy for all practical purpose. The
growling bear being thus embodied, ns it
were, his antitype, the bull, was not long in
making an appearance. It is somewhat
curious to find in the popular mind a dif
fused notion that the bulls are the most vir
lu-ms of the two. This is sometimes a great 1
fallacy; the public, in fact, is not always just
as discriminating as it might be. The bull
is often spectater who proposes to gain
merely by market fluctuations, and always
fishes tbe most industriously in troubled
waters The real investor, for instance, is
very frequently a bear in spirit because he
waits an opportunity to buy cheaply. The
cotton manufacturer who contracts to sell
: Cloth is in spirit a bear of yarn and other
materials, which he requires to buy as cheap
|y an possible- that is, of course, unles be lias
; already purchased too extensively of such
materials, in which casehe has overtraded.

everything in fair France, being able to bor

fe it8 began to show signs of changing, (for

High-Heeled Boots.
High heeled boots un ioubtedty injure rot
only the toot but the shape of the leg. Per
lect freedom of the usetul members pre
serves sym metrical ' .ape. while exercise
untulds the muscular system, producing a _
‘-ul , bold outline of the limbs, at the same
time that the joints are knit small and
clean. Look at the levs of a poor Irishman
traveling to -he harvest with bare feet, tbe
thickness and remediless ot the calf show
that the loot and toes are tree to permit the
exercise of the muscles of tbe legs. Look,
now, at the legs of an English p-asant whose
foot and ankle are rightly lace in a boot
with an inflexible sole ; and perceive, from
tbe manner ia which he lifts his legs, that
the play ot the ankle, foot aud toes is lost as ■
much if ha stilts acd therefore f
as went ou : i
are his legs small and shapeless. In shot t,
the natural exercise of the parts, whether
they be active or passive is the stimulus to
the circulation through them ; exercise be¬
ing as necessary to the perfect constitution
of a bone as it is lo the perfection of tie
muscular powers.
Practical Economy.
f may remind you -that perhaps evety
one of us. and almost every one of o» r
neighbors, has a favorite or p. t economy
of h<s own, which usually serves ;o inter-- t
and often to amuse his fellow men. Thus
many of us, perhaps, arc accustomed to
save up paper and string; others are on the
watch to prevent waste of fuel, o< water, of
gas or other light, and of many oth- r
things too numerous to mention. Some
of these instances, indeed, are historical
and (amous. The poet Pope wrote the
rough copy of his Iliad on backs of letters
and other stray odds and ends, by which,
says Dr. Johnson, in six years he saved
perhaps six shillings. The great Duke ol
Marlboro was once visited in his tent by a
loreign nobleman, who desired to receive a
lesson on economy. ‘ We can talk over that
in the dark,” said the Duke, and immediately
blew out the candle. His guest immediately
rose and took bis leave, remarking that he
had learned enough for one session. I ,
one of Miss Perrier’s novels a .Scotch
peasant woman refused to allow her hue
band to take the new medicine ordered by
the doctor until he had finished the old,
which was prescribed the day betore. Bu ,
without,dwelling on such incideuts, let us
try to formulate some general rules which
the rich and the poor may practice alike
with advantage.
1. Never aliow anything lo be thrown
away or destroyed which can be made use¬
ful to anyone.
2 . Never allow expenditure to exceed
income, aud never run in debt without abso¬
lute necessity.
ln estimating income and expendi
ture never tiust to mere probabilities, but
only to experience and to facts on whicn
_ v0ll can depend. A man who wishes to
keep within his income, says Lord Bacon,
must set down his expenditure at one
tbird or at most one-half of that income.

Early Days in California.
In '49 1 went to California, a woman
with iwo children, determined to earn my
bread. 1 was received with enthusiasm,
and misfit have bought the whole town out
with no other security than my word. I

a dollar a pound, whiskey one dol'ar a

morning an official ot the town stopped at
my kitchen ; he want* d a good ubstar-iial

ment, dimly lighted by dripping taliow can
dies stuck into whiskey bottles, with bunks
built trom tloor to ceiling on either sioe.
A bar w! h rows of bottles and glasses was
in one corner, where two or three miners
were generally drinking; the barkeeper,
dressed in half.sailor, viquero fashion, with
a blue shirt rolled far back at the collar to
display the snowy linen beneath, and bis
waist encircled by a flaming scarlet sash, '
was, next to tbe stage driver, the most im- j
por-annt tnati in camp.
Ik order to enjoy the present, it is neces-;
sary to be intent on tne present. To be |
doing one thing and tbiukiug of another is
11 vety unsatisfactory mode of spending
life. ' Borne people are always wishing
themselves somewhere but where they are
or thinking of something else than what j
they are doing, or of somebody else than j
to whom they are speaking. This is the
way to eujoy nothing, and to please no
body. :
A pear! worth $'•0,000, now in possession
of the princes Youssopoff, was brought
from India in 1660 by Goajibus of Calia
and bought by Phil p IV. The king'asked
merchant—“How could you concentrate
whole tortune upon so small a thing ?
and the repiy was, “Because I knew that
world held a king of Spain who would
of me.”
