The bed rock of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada has never, he says, been subject ed to any considerable movements of elevation or depression. The seat of volcanic energy lay to the cast ot the gravel region, which was overwhelmed with debris, without much disturbance of the bed-rock. The general direction of drainage, throughout the period ol accumulation of the auriferous gravels, must have- been southwesterly.

The streams were, in all probability, subject to greater variations in the quantity ot water which they carried at different times than the streams of to-day. The channels of some of the streams were excavated into the solid bed-rock to depths of from 100 to 300 feet. The process ot accumulation oi graveis must have been very slow, occuping hun dreds, and perhaps thousands, of years. Excavation occurred at one place while cumulation wont on at another.

These must ha mixed by heat, and kept in a phial closely corked. When it is to be used, set tile phial in boiling water. This cement perfectly resists moisture, and it is said to be able to unite effectively two surfaces of polished steel. Stuffed Egg-Plant.—Do not peel, but'CUt, the egg-plant, a fairly large one, in two. and boil until soft. Then remove the egg-plant from the fire, aud, when cool, with a spoon remove almost all the cooked substance, leav ing the rind. Drain this substance thoroughly, using some pressure. Take an onion, cut it up fine, aud add to it chopped parsley, salt and pepper, and, with a piece of butter, stir them tho roughly. Then add the cooked inside of the egg-plant, at the end addin® the yolks of two eggs and some grated nut- mgr. When this is thoroughly cooked, introduce it into the rind of the egg plant. Take a i ieee of string, tie up the halves, and bake thoroughly. Caramel Cake.—Oneand alialf cups sugar, three-fourths cup ot hotter, half cup milk, two and a fourth cups flour, three eggs, one and a half heaping tea spoons baking powder, or a small tea- poon soda, and two tea-spoons cream tartar; bake in jelly tins. Make car amel as follows: Butter size of an egg, pint of brow n sugar, half a cup of milk or water, half cake of chocolate; boil t wenty minutes (or until thick enough) and pour over cakes while warm, pil ing the layers one upon the other. For Irostin® for top of cake, take whites ol two eggs, ©ne and a half cups of sugar, a, teaspoon vanilla, three heaping tea spoons grated chocolate. Boils.—These painful and trouble some tilings may sometimes be prevent ed by wetting a stick of caustic at one end and making a circle round the en- tlameil part. 11 itioill rise, apply warm llax-secd or mush and fat poultices, and as soon as if is soft open with a lancet or dress with basilicon. If the boil is a hard tumor with a hard speck in the middle, which when opened, shows greenish core, it Is a carbuncle, and should have a blister put entirely ovAr it. In fact, all boils which are too slow to rise are best treated by being blis tered, which is less painful than would be supposed.

In traveling over the country, it is no unusual sight to see plows, har rows, wagons, sleds, reapers, and mow ers, etc., piled in tiie fence corners, in the fields, lanes, barnyards and public highways. Whenever you see things piled around in this way, you can set it down thal there is at least one leak on that farm. An excuse might be found for some farmers, ol limited means, that they are not aide to build belter for theii implements; but we find the same leak on farms where they count their acres by the hnndreity.aqd the dollars by the thousand. And ol course the larger the farm, the greater the leak. We believe a careful esti mate of the annual shrinkage thus in curred by some farmers would astonish them, and show why farming does not pay.

The ’ Poongees (priests), Ecpnaks or astrologers, Baydin Sayas or fortune tellers, have been duly consulted, aud they have all unanimously come to the conclusive prediction that the new comer will be a royal son, and Thecbau has de clared that be shall be the royal heir-appar- enr to the throne of the King of the Rising Sun, Lord of the White Elephant, the Gold- Umbrella. Ac. It is reported that the cra dle, which has just been completed, cost the State nearly two lacs of rupees ($100,- 000). The cradle was first framed with mango wowd and encased with sheet gold inside and outside. Over this is ornament ed gold work, set with preciouss stones of all kinds—diamonds, rubles, sapphires, em eralds, Ac—and the work is said to be very superior, as il is turned out by the best" of the first-class goldsmiths ol Upper Bur- mah. The arrangements for fitting up the cradle are as follows: A soft bed or cushion covered with green silk velvet, and the sides with embroidered work. This is the manner in which the cradle was to be fixed and how worked. A thick iron rod has been fixed across the room, some twelve feet above the floor, and the cradle is sus pended by means of golden cords, made of golden wire for the- purpose of swinging, and to work backward and forward, like punkahs in some parts of the world. The lling objected to the old method of having tliq royal cradle hulled by a parcel of old women, so the mechanical and engineering elements of his kingdom were called into requisition, and one of the Italian mechanics has invented a wind-up machine by which the cradle can be set going, once wound up, fur a day or night, or until further orders, to the great delight of the King. The royal babe is to be mrsed and brought up in the English style, and for this purpose the sum of 5000 rupees was given to one of the sis ters of tiie convent here to purchase a com plete outfit, and it is said that tiie sisterhas faithfully executed the order, and the para phernalia for the youth has been deposited in good time.

Satisfaction Always Guaranteed. Address, DR. M. W. CASE. »33 Arch SL, Philadelphia, ia. The rednetion here announced in the price of The Sunday School Times puts that paper within the reach of every Sunday-school in the land. It now becomes, unquestionably, the cheapest weekly paper of its Bize and character in the United Slates. It gives 832 large pages (11x16 inches) of reading matter a year, or over eight pages for a cent at its lowest club rate. It costs less than two cents a week for each member of a club of twenty or more persons. Schools that have been taking other publications because the clnb rates of The Sunday School Times were higher than they could afford, will not be slow to appreciate these new prices. Tne lowest rate heretofore for a club of less than thirty copies has been 51.90 for each paper. Now the price for twenty copieB, or over, is ?1.00 for each-paper. The rednetion is a bold one, and even the present large circulation does not warrant it, but the change is desirable for the dne extension of its field, and the necessary increased circulation is sure to come. Lower prices do not mean a poorer paper,.or less of it,—on the contrary, it is purposed to make the paper better than ever before in all of its departments. Here are the New Bates.—From one to four copies, (2 each. From five to nine copies, in a package to one address, f 1.50 each. From ten to nineteen copies, in a package to one address, $1.25 each. Twenty copies or more in a package to one address, $1.00 each. These prices include postage, which is prepaid by the publisher. Subscriptions will be taken for any portion of a year at yearly rates. While the papers for a club must he sent in a package to one address, the publisher desires to have for reference the names of all the subscribers. He, therefore, requires that each club subscription he accompanied with a list of the names aad addresses of the persons who are to use the paper. Superintendents will remember that they can try the paper in their schools for a portion of a year at the yearly rate. Twenty teachers can he supplied for three months for five dollars. Why not begin now? Any reader of this advertisement, who has never been a subscriber to The Sunday School Times, can receive it on trial every week for three months for twenty-five cents. Send also for a free specimen of The Scholars’ Quarterly, a forty- four-page scholars’ lesson help, containing a colored map, beantifnl illustrative pictures, and a great variety of valuable lesson matter.
