The Ancient Hearse*
The ancient hearse, so often men
tioned in wills and funeral directions,
was not a carriage for the conveyance
of the body like that in use at the
present day, but was a four squ ire
framework of timber, from each cor
ner of which rose a ratter, slanting,
and all four rafters met at the top.
This was covered with black cloth,
and at the funerals of persons of dis
tinction was set up for a time in the
choir for the reception of the body
during ,
the service. It was surround¬
ed with rails and fringed and orna
mented according to the rank of the
deceased. Until the Reformation,
hearses were garnished with numerous
lights, as well as with pencils and es¬
cutcheons, but with the change of
faith the lights were discontinued.
These hearses were introduced about
the fourteenth century, aud they con¬
tinued to be used until the civil wars
of the seventeenth century.— West¬
minster Gazette.

A MAN MISJUDGED.
The world go°s by, and fancies be is cold.
Self-wrapt in coils of egotistic thou rht—
Fettered with links of subtle cobweb,
wrought
By selfish meditation. Men have told
Each other laughingly that once he soil
His heart for l0VJ 01 knowledge—that he
bought
A calm content (so o't and vainly sought)
breaking every dear affection’s bold,
They read him lightly; he has never known
The looss emotions that can weep at will,
The void that makes each passing wind its
own,
Yet in his breast are caverns bard to fill—
Not to be fathomed by the careless stone
Of those that cast to show their petty
skill.
He is of alien character to theirs
Who brand him with their foolish, worth*
less scorn;
His careless seeming is a vesture worn
To hide the troubled front of many cares;
Beneath the cloak of callousness he bear3
A beating heart, with sorrow often torn;
He has a burden heavy to be borne
Of love and sympathy; his thoughts are
pray’re.
When most he seems unhee Ifulhe is sad
For that vast trouble which is life’s below—
Longing to teach the tearful to be glad,
The helpless hopeful—wearying to know
What food for famished spirits may oe had,
What solace for the mass of human woe.

The Laughing Plant of Arabia.
This plant, says Palgrave in his
work on central aud eastern Arabia, is
a native of that country, and its seeds
produce on anyone eating them effects
analogous to those of laughing gas. The
flowers are produced in clusters, and
are yellow in color; the seed pod con¬
tains two or three black seeds of the
shape and size of French beans. Their
flavor is slightly like that of opium,
and taste sweet, while the oder pro¬
duces a sickening sensation. The
seeds are pulverized and taken in
small doses. Anyone taking them be¬
gins to laugh loudly and boisterously
and then sings, dances and cuts all
kinds of fantastic capers,the effect con¬
tinuing for about an hour. When the
excitement ceases the exhaust¬
ed individual falls into a deep
into a deep sleep, on awakening from
which he is utterly unconscious of
any such demonstrations having been
made under the influence of the seeds
of the laughing plant.— London Tit -

The Virtues of Buttermilk.
buttermilk, Concerning the remedical value of
the Medical Advisor says
that it is of so much worth that it has
gained a distinct place in “materia
medica,” and is largely prescribed by
the best physicians for the chest and
lung ailments and in most forms of
kidney troubles. An exclusive butter¬
milk diet has seemed to bring about a
cure for Bright’s disease. A proper
and constant use of it will greatly re¬
duce, and sometimes cure, the craving
for alcoholic liquors with which many
persons are afflicted. The craving may
be satisfied and the system benefited
and strengthed instead of weakened.
Buttermilk alone will often remedy
acid acidity of the stomach. The lactic
needed in many cases is supplied
by it much more than auy other drink
or food. It is said to alleviate the op¬
pression about the heart that so many
old people suffer from, and it should
be constantly drunk by them. It is
also to a certain extent a stimulant for
the entire system, just what the aged
need.

Farmers Should Keep Aeconnt.
If a farmer is alive to his own inter¬
ests, he will, by keeping accounts with 1
bis crops and stock, ascertain which
branches of the business pay best. In
the same way as the manufacturer he
chu then work away from the unprofit¬
able branches and towards those which
pay more. In this way he will soon
become a specialist, and will have
taken a long stride toward success.
The farmer who says that it is too
much work, or that he has not time to
keep accounts, has a mistaken notion
of the value of time and labor. The
time required f.T this purpose would
prove to be but a fraction of the time
lost by misdirected labor—misdirected
because of the lack of a correct under¬
standing of the cost of the various
branches of farm labor.
Any farmer who has not tried it will
find the keeping of accounts at least
ginning an interesting experiment. The be¬
of a new year is an excellent
time to take a new departure. Each
farmer who reads this should resolve
to commence keeping accounts on Jan.
1, and to know before the year closes
the cost of and profit on every bushel
of corn, dozen of eggs, quart of milk,
and every other article he produces.
To some it may be seen that such a
system, to be successfully carried put
requires the skill of a professional
book-keeper. It will be found how¬
ligence ever, by any person of moderate intel¬
that accounts designed only for
one’s own inspection can be kept in
simple form and serveall practical pur
poses. Unless one loses interest and
becomes careless he can hardly fail to
achieve results both interesting and
useful.

economy should make memor¬
anda of all purchases, not only as a

It is a satisfaction, to say the least,
to be able to determine at the end of a

needless expenses and to plan more
judiciously for the future.— Exchange v
