Tlie Health eV the Mind.
There is a mutual relation between th*
mind and the body In regard to the health at
each which Is most close and important
know that the state of the bod; off
state of the mind; we know that the siate'at
the mind affects the state of the body There
are facte of every day knowledge; we feel
within u* thOitwo distinct natures, warring
with each other, or In accord with each other,
or ing helping each other, although aud, as it were, reason¬
with each other, it Is only th*
mind which, recognizing itself as wall as its
body, really reasons. We feel and are
strangely conscious of all this, but what w*
do not feel and do not appreciate, what w*.
have yet to leant to appreciate, ia the inde¬
pendency of the two empires of mind and
body, as well as the dependency of the one on
the other. We are conscious that the food
of the body influences the health of the mind,
as when we say of some unsuitable or indi¬
gestible thing, “It has made me dull of mind,
it has made me sad, it has made me irritable,
or hat in some other way affected my equa¬
nimity."
But we do not recognize with like readiness
and in the same way the effect of the food*
of the mind on the mind m 4 its health; oof
is this remarkable, for the body feeds per¬
ceptibly, and by owe stomach atone, while the
mind feeds imperceptibly, by Are stomachs,
by every sense, which is to it a veritable
stomach from and by which it receives its
aliment, be that good or bad, and from and
by which it is renew ed and from day to day
sustained. These foods of the mind entering
the mental organization, the camera nervosa,
largely, if not altogether, mold that organiza¬
tion into set form, according to its quality
sculptor for molding. They are so like the touch of th*
o%the clay that to a large extent all
men and women born shape their mental sur¬
face according as they are led to give it form
and shape. I could not if I should search for
years find a better simile. Common foods
and drinks must be healthy in order that the
material of the body may be good; and tbs
impressions which enter the body by tbs
senses, the foods and drink* of the mind, must
also be healthy in order that the mind may
be good. Granting, therefore, that the sub¬
stance is good and the molding or modeling
good, all will be good.—fxmgroan's Magar
Hoh to Maze )ilz Hubbles. “
Next to white castile, the mottled castile
gives the best result*. The soap being ob¬
tained, a friendly druggist must carefully
weigh out sixty grains (for exactness in pro¬
portions is needful) for each ounce of water.
That is, one drachm (according to the apoth-
ecary’s y’s weight weight of of the the old old arithmetics), arithmetics), and and
when the weighing is done and the obliging
druggist druggist thanked thanked for for kindness, kindness, the rest is
{dun sailing. A bottle with a sound cork is
the next requirement It must be huge
enough to hold three or four times the quan¬
tity of solution you wish to make. Do not
prepare too much at one time; two ounces of
soap solution will be a good quantity, and for
this a six or eight ounce bottle wUl be the
right tiling. The bottle must ha well cleaned
and then well rinsed out with soft water—
which, by the way, should be used for a& the
operations. All being ready, the soap is cut
into fragments small enough to enter the
bottle.
Measure on ounce of water for each drachm
of soap; this can be done with a teaspoon, eight
spoonfuls making an ounce. Having poured
the water and put the soap into tbs bottle,
we have now to await perfect solution, which
will happen in the course of two or three
hours, if the bottle be put in a moderately
warm place. Then add glycerine to the soap
solution, the quantity varying with our am¬
bition. I have found that one-half the vol¬
ume of the solution gives excellent results;
that is to say, to each ounce of water add
one-half ounce of glycerine, measuring the
quantities instead of weighing them In both
cases. The bottle isjjow to be tightly corked
and well shaken; then set aside for two or
three hours more and well shaken again.
These alternate periods of rest and agitation
should continue for a whole day. Finally
let the bottle stand undisturbed and tightly
corked for twenty-four hours Bubbles of
great size and beauty may be blown with this
solution.—St Nicholas.
“Like t'other fteegliuent.”
When the first western soldiers penetrated
into the hilly sections of eastern Tennessee
they were not a little disappointed, for the
“East Tennessee Unionist" had been glorified
in the northwest till he seemed in fancy like
a superior being. The boys pronounced the
region asst of Knoxville a “land of rocks, fist
fights and ignorance,” but their amazement
reached its height when the first Union troops
from the North Carolina side met them. These
troops had made up a lot of doggerel poetry
with which they answered questions, but as
they were more hungry than poetic when
they reached the main tody, they usually cut
off their answer to any question a* to their
command in some such fashion as this;

Poison for Rejected Suitors.
A curious custom prevails among the in¬
habitants of the Sandeman Islands. When a
girl who has bai a number of suitors is car¬
ried off by her accepted lover the wedded
pair, within forty-eight hours of the wed¬
ding, send a cup of poison distilled from the
balalula tree ta each of the bride’s former
admirers. If any of the recipients feel that
they cannot booome reconciled tothe mar¬
riage they drink the poison and die, but it
they decide that they will survive foe lore of

Th© Change from Beets to Shoes.
Considerable attention has been
called to the calfskin situation. Of
late years the demand of leather has. been falling
off, as other kinds have been
taking its place. One of the principal
causes of this lies in the fact mat long
legged boots have been going out of
favor, shoes taking their place to a
groat extent This has had great ef¬
fect on the consumption of leather, as

Country Gentleman,
Without incurring much additional
expense, a bam may have a pleasing ex¬
terior instead of an awkward and heavy
form. In addition to Its general-sym¬
metry, which may nearly always accord
with convenience, a few small particu¬
lars added at the proper places may eon-
tribute much to its appearance. Coun¬
try Gentleman calls attention in this
connection to the decorative effect of
•mall hoods over the doors and window*,
and properly projecting eaves. A* a mat¬
ter of utility these will be worth more
than their cost. The hoods will be a pro¬
tection of the windows in some degree
against storms and prevent rain from

eaves will answer a similar purpose and

THE HORN FLY.

Professor Cook, < of the New
Jersey agricultural iiir** w experiment Itotte' station,
devotes a special bull to the coneid-
oration of the *' •Texas fly," “Buffalo _....
fly.” “stock fly," Or "horn fly." as it Is
variously torniel. This fly usually con¬
gregates on the horns of cattle in great
numbers, and is said to confine its injury
largely to the base *f the horns. It
seems to be also generally believed that
foe larvai are tepoeited hero, and tluti
they burrow into the born, causing its
degeneration and ultimate loss. The
entomologist has not been able to find
an instance of a larva on the cattle.

Th# result is sometimes an inflamma¬

shown that tobacco insecticides ate very
sneosssful against these flies. The tests

Hydraulic Rams on foe Form.
ubte Hydraulic farms, rams have there proven very miming -
on where is
water, for farcing water to elevated
places for house use, for irrigation, wa¬
tering stock, etc. One or more styles of
nuns are usually represented to foe
of dealers in agricultural implei
lection and first cost.
Th* diagram here shown is a reprint
from Scott’s "Irrigation foe and Water Sup-
ply.” It illustrates principle of hy¬
draulic rams, and may be briefly ex¬
plained as follows:
The running stream rushes down foe
supply valve pipe (b) and striking foe waste
(d) closes it. The stream being thus
suddenly checked, Its momentum opens
foe valve (e) upwards, and drives foe
water into foe reservoir (a) until foe air
within being compressed into a ampler
space by its elasticity, bears down upon
the water and again closes the valve (e).
The wrier to the supply pipe (b) has by
tide time expended its momentum aud
■topped running; therefore, foe valve (d)
drops down again, and permit* it to es¬
cape. It recommences running, until its
force again closes foe water valve (d),
and a second portion of water is driven
into the reservoir as before—so it re-
peatedly continues—the great force of
the oompressod air in the reservoir driv-
tag the water up the discharge pip© (c).
PRINCIPLE OP ITYDJlAOblC RAM*.
The hydraulic ram U applicable where
no more than 18 inches fall can be ob¬
tained, but the greater the fall foe more
powerful the action of the machine, and
the greater elevation to wbiph the water
can be raised. If at all possible, a fall of
8 or 10 feet should be obtained. At the
