What Will Happen This Yenr.
« Xo an ond tho world shall come
tn eighteen hundred and eighty-one.”
Mother Shlpton made some notable
proplucics; for instance, the “Tele
graphs” the “Great Ironclads,” and
sundry other things equally astonish
ing; but search reveals t lie fact that the
above prophecy, alleged to have been
made by Mother Shipton, as well as a
certain prophecy about the railways,
nre spurious and false, and do not appear
in any of the editions before 1882. They
were (hen published by a Mr. Hindly,
of Brighton, who subsequently acknowl
edged the forgeries as is owu in “Notes
and Queries.” It therefore amounts to
this, that Mother Shipton never proph
esied any such a thing as the world
coming to an end in 1881, and, so far as
she is concerned, my renders may not
disturb their minds. It cannot, how
ever, be denied that 1681 will be a
remnrkabie year, chiefly on account of
the great conjunction of Si turn and
Jupiter (and the proximity of the sun at
the time) in the sign Taurus. Such an
event will alter the face of the earth by the
prevalence of great and continued earth
quakes, the uprising of islands, and the
subsidence of land already above the
sea. Plato in his “ Timon ” mentions
that therq Was a gigartic island in the
place ■where the Atlantic ocean now is,
and that it was larger ilinn all Lybia
and Asia together, and was inhabited
by a very warlike race: but in succeed
ing times prodigious earthquakes and
deluges taking place, the whole island
wn3 made desolate in one day and night,
and absorbed in the srn. There is not
the least doubt but Hint the subsistence
of this Island caused the upheaving of
the land now called America. Louis
Figuicr also, in " The World Before the
Deluge,” says: “ The upheaving of the
Caucasus and an adjoining range qf
mountains was the cause of the Asiatic
deluge in Noah’s time." It is a fact
that in the bowels of the earth there
is a heat, generating 6team, vapor )
and lava, to which we arc infants, and
can form no idea of its intensity, and
earthquakes aro the results of a combin
ation of steam, water nnd gases, which
congregating together, at length bursts
the crust of the carlh nnd escapes. In
the earthquakes at Manilla the other
day the earth opened, nnd ftro and
water wero ejected to an immense ele
vation. Vesuvius and other burning
mountains arc outlets, or safety valves,
as they have been frequently called. In
mountairouj countrhs sl ocks of earth
quakes aro frequent, nnd mountains are
formed by the upheaving of the crust o*
tho earth.
In conclusion, although I do not and
ticipate the approach oi ihc “ last day,"
yet I cannot close my eyes to the fact
that there will be startling phenomena,
and such as the oldest man living never
saw before. In the C ilmla nine is a
mystic number tignif\ing “comple
tion," and 1881 lias the singular prop
erty of being*divided thus—1 plus H
equal to 0. Nine is u peculiar number,
for in all its multiples the total is 9.
Thus nine times 2 equal to 18, 1 plus 8
equal to 8, 9 times 3 (qual to 27, 2 plus
7 equal to 9 ( 9 times 4 equal to 36, 3
plus 6 equul to 9, and so on to nny
amount; and this is tho only number
which can bo multiplied iuto itself.
This also marks nn important year, and
I look forward to some grand physical
and martial events, to which at present
we are strangers. It is true the world
may be destroyed, for tho time when
this will happen is known to no one.
Everybody is in doubt about it, so I
must leave it, and I candidly confers
that neither I nor any one else know
when it will be.—lit phqcl's Prophetic
Messenger for 1881.
Looking Tor a Wife,
Satki Kumara, the hero of a curious
Hindustani story, preferred testing a
damsei’s capability before lying tlie kno •
Master of a prosperous and pvotitable
business, ho came to the conclusion
that a wife was warded to complete his
happiness, and determined to go in
search of one. Adopting the guise of a
fortunote Her, and carrying some rice
bound up in his cloth, lie started on bis
travels. Whenever he encountered a
girl that pleased his eye he asked her
to cook his rice for him. Si me laughed
at him, some reviled him and none
seemed inclined to comply with his
modest demand. At last he mot
with a beautiful girl who, instead ol
ridiculing or abusing the strange trav
el! r, relieved him of the rice, and bade
him be rested. Then the kindly maiden
sat about preparing the rice. First she
steeped it in water, then dried it in the
sun, and, that accomplished, rubbed the
grains gently on the ground, removing
the awn without breaking the rice.
Calling her nurse she dispatched that
worthy to sell the bran, and with the
piocords to purchase an earthen boiler,
two platters nnd somo fuel. By the
time this mission was executed the rice
had been brayed in a mortar, winnowed
and washed and ready to put in the
boiler with five times its bulk of water.
As soon os it had swollen suffi
ciently tho boiler was taken from the
lire, the wator cleared off the scum, the
boiler put back, nnd the rice constantly
stirred by the pretty cook until she was
satisfied it was properly done. By turn
ing the boiler mouth downward she ex,
tinguishcd the tire, and collecting tho
unconsumod luel dispatched the old
woman to convert it into butter curds,
oil and tamarinds. This achieved, she
told the enraptured Sakti Tuon.ia to go
and bathe and not to omit rubbing him
self with oil. Having obeyed orders, tho
wife-seeker was directed to seat him
se.f upon a plank on tho well-swept floor,
on which woro already laid a large plain-
tain leaf and two platters. His charming
hostess then brought him water in a
perfumed jug and administered two
spoonfuls of well-seasoned rice and
ghee, preparatory to serving up the re
mainder ol the rice mixed with spices
curds, butter and milk, of which Sakti
KumarMrto his 1111 and then indulged
in a siesta. As soon as he woke he asked
the girl to becomo his wife, and she
being willing tho necessary ceremony
was gono through without delay, and
the supposed fortune-teller took h
bride.homo to astonish her as the Lord
of Burleigh astonished his rustic love
but tho Hindoo lass was luckier tlm
Tennyson’s horoine, for wo aro assured
that Bhe lived long to worship her bus
band as a god and made her house the
abode ol bliss.—Chambers' Journal.
FAUM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Potatoes Preserved.
The great drawback in the past in tho
way tf nn extended export trade of po
tatoes from this country hss lain in the
Fact that in ocean voyages the vegetable
is susceptible to swe.it nnd rot, and on
arrival the losses from this cause are
often found to counterbalance the profit
made on the intact part of the cargo.
This inconvenience seems to be over
come by the recent invention of a
machine for pressing and preserv
ing potatoes in such a manner
that they may be dried and
kept for a number of yenrs in any cli
mate. It is said that no oxidation or
fermentation takes place in the process,
and that often the potatoes after they
go through tho entire process retain to a
great extent their natural taste and
original freshness. We understand that
shipments of these potntoes made to
England recently, more particularly
those from Cabfornin, have commanded
earnest attention, and that the demand
for them largely exceeds the present
supply. It is claimed that in the opera*
tion of curing no chemicals are needed,
everything being done by a simple
machine, which is capable of pre
serving six hundred bushels, of
potatoes in twenty-four hours. The
machine not only presses the potatoes,
but lays them on a tray in a concave
form with the hollow side down. After
the pressure they are put into a drying
apparatus, where they remain for two
hours, then they aro ground into coarse
meal resembling cracked rice. The first
shipment ol preserved potatoes to Liver
pool brought the handsome sum of $160
per ton more than all expense of ship
ment. Last year abrnt twenty tons
were shipped by one San Franciseo
merchant which brought forty-live
English shillings per hundredweight, or
at a rate of £1.50 per bushel for green,
potatoes. This surely would leave a
good margin for cost of preserving and
profits.—Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Gloves are much the same as they have
been lor some years past. Woolen gloves
are worn over kid ones by ladies who do
not carry muffs. Kid gloves lined with
fur also serve for this purpose; they are
called “gants moscovites,” and have
only two buttons. Many gloves for
evening wear are laced. On the ends ol
the fine cordings are small tassels. These
gloves come in different lengths.

HI
The Turkish People.
A Constantinople correspondent of the
London Standard, ignoring, for tb
moment, the eternal Eastern question
writes as follows of the Turkish people
“The commonest form of a rich lady
clonk is entirely native as regards
material and shape. It is a piece of
heavy silk, rarely good in color, upon
one end of wliioh formal and meaning
less devices have been worked in gold
The character of them suggests that in
former days this out-door garment con
sisted of two pieces, one a golden scarf
lor the hoad, with pendant fringo and
tassels, the other a mantle cf plain silk
In process of timo the scaif and tassels
were incorporated, as it were, in the
mantle, surviving only as a cumbrous
ornament. It is uot necessary to do
scribe the appearance ol Turkish women
thus nppavelod. Every ono knows how
they stride along like animuted sacks
showing ill-made French boots,
trailing yellow slippers. Not a f-.i
wear pocks, always down at heel
often trailing in tho perennial mud. Fine
eyes, both gray and black, aro common
and quite enough is seen of the featur
to assure one that boauty of face is not
spiringly distributed. While lightly
digressing in this by-path I would point
out the exceeding fairness of
race. The Turkish peasant has a whiter
skin than the Greek townsman. Souther
Italians even are more dusky of com
plexion. Fair hair and light eye3abound
in all classes, and, unless it be a man
evidently crossed with negro blood, y
will scarcely ever see a Turk so brown
of skin ns aro the vast minority
Greeks In height and st rength of build
also, they are superior to all their sufc
ject peoples, excepting tl.o Albanian
This magnificent race, the Skipetar,
the Path an of Europe, but vastly above
its Asiatic antitype in all the line; qual
itiea ol man. No unprt judiced observer
can doubt that the Albanian, with
his shortcomings and his faults, is the
most hopeful, as lie is most inteiesting
ol tho nationalities subject to Turkey
Above all, he is artistic, permeated
with a sense of fitness and beauty,
which lie displays in manner, in dress
in ail and every ono of the many arts
cultivated by the nationality, which the
utilitarian Greek calls barbarous.
Aged 128 Years.
On the Little Colorado is a lady who
avers that she is 128 years of age. She
says she was thirty years of ngc'at the
time ol the dark day which created such
consternation. The Spaniards buried
all their saiuts, of which they had a
goodly number, while the Indians took
to feasting on dogs and other animals.
The “dark day” was so called on
account of the remarkable darkness
which extended throughout America.
The obscuration commenced about ten
o’clock in the morning ol May 19, 1780,
and continued until the middle ol the
next night. Birds sang their evening
song, disappeared and remained silent;
fowls went to roost, cattle sought the
barn-yards and candles were lighted in
the house.
Capitalists interested in the Shenan
doah valley have formed a company to
build a hotel and open up the Luray
(Va.)cave, whose ramifications are ex
pected to prove as wonderful and

Htty In Holland
In various parts of Holland—ns for
Instance, in the province of Friesland
many of the farmers keep a stock of
from thirty to eighty head of cattle,
ich in winter time must be brought
under cover ahd stall fed. In conse
quence of this general practice, eno -
mous supplies of hay are necessary. To
provide these, tho mown grass is allow-
to lie for two days or more, with oc
casional turning over; and is then placed
cod for further drying in largo barns,
where it is piled in heaps from
to thirteen yards high.
Such piles often contain lrom
100,Of0 to 200,000 kilogrammes of hay
apiece. To render it specially suitable
for cattle it is subjected to a process oi
subdued fermentation, which makes it
more pnlatablo and easier of digestion.
This is brought about by bringing in
the hay while not yet quite dry and
treading it down firnly. As thus
treated, it frequently acquires such a
degree of heat as to lire spontaneously,
and at the same time set the barn in
which it is stored in flames. This
not uncommonly happens, unless the
farmer is specially careful. Supposing
all to go well, the hoy thus treated ac
quires a peculiar honey-like smell and a
sweet flavor. Many ol its organic con
stituents undergo a change—as, for in
stance, its starch, which is converted
into dextrine. Tho chemical analysis
of fresh-mado hay shows tho following
composition i Fourteen per cent, water,
six per cent, inorganic salts and eighty
per cent, organic compounds. After
successful fermentation it contains 5.4
parts ol albuminates, one part of fat
and forty-one parts of oarbhydrates, tho
greater part of which is converted into
dextrine. The remainder is indigesti
ble fibrous matter, which is given off i
the excrement. Hay put up in ricks
docs not go through this favorable fer
mentation, because tho outer surfaces of
tho slack arc too much cooled by the
air. O.. the flooring of stables and sheds
hay scarcely ever ignites spontaneously,
becaused it !b never piled up iu thick
layers, and so cools far better than when
stacked in ricks.
Carrot* for Animals.
'Die oarrot is the most esteemed of al
roots for its feeding qualities. When
analyzed it gives but little more solid
mutter than any other root, eighty-five
per cent, being water; but its influence in
the stomach on other articles of food is
most favornblo, contributing to tho most
peifeot digestion and assimilation. This
result, long known to praotioal men, is
explained by chemists as resulting from
the presence cf n substance called pec-
tino, which operates to coagulate or
gelatine vegetable solutions, and favors
this digestion in all cattle. Horses arc
especially benefited by the use of car
rots, and they should be fed frequently
with their other fjod. Most nil sections
of the western country produce, when
thoioughly cultivated, beautiful cropi
of carrots, and they can bo raised at a
trivial expenso. The land upon which
carrots aro to be cultivated should bo
mellow, and ba plowed deeper than
usual.
Take Care of Farm Tool*.
Farm tools will rust out sooner than
thoy will wear out. Many farmers injure
their farm implements more by exposure
to the weather than by use on the farm.
An implement which with good enro
would last twenty years, will, when,
exposed to the weather, become useless
in five years or even loss. A larru cart
which, with good usage, would last
almost a lifetime, will only last a few
years, when exposed to the weather.
Tho explanation of the reason why
farming does not pay with money is
found in the neglect to take caro ol' the
farm tools. All firm implements aro
costly, and the firmer who has to buy
throe or four times as many as his
neighbors because he does not lake
care of them, of course will not find much
profit in farming. The same care’essness
in any other kind of business would
insure equally as disastrous results.
Ilealtli Hints.
For cholera morbus, take black popper
and grind it tolerably lino. Then putin
a glass a tablcspoonful of this and a ta
blespoonful of salt, and fill about half
full with warm water, then fill up .the
glass with good cider vinegar, and stir it
up. Now take ono tablespoonful, nnd
then wait a little and take another, and
keep on stirring and using it while the
vomiting lasts. If one glass does not
cure, try another.
Lam cf Life says it does uot necessa
rily foLow that a person with an ill-
developed or peculiarly shaped chest
wall should have consumption. One
great primary cause of consumption is
the want of inflation of the appices o
the lungs, whether from habit, occupa
tion, inattention or whatever causo.
This fact is the primary cause of more
consumption than anything else. It
opens the door for the onset ol the dia
ease under any exciting cause, as cold,
congestion or pneumonia.
To the sick thirst is most important
and distressing, often causing much
restlessness and irritability—these in
their turn often increasing the fever.
The urgent thirst must, therefore, be
allayed; but if left to themselves, to
satiate their craving, patients will al
ways drink to excess, which is very
liable to disarrange tho stomach, impair
digestion, produce flatulence and even
diarrhea. Theory and experience both
show that drinks, made slightly bitter
and somewhat acid, slack thirst most
effectually. A weak infusion of cascar
rilla or orange peel, acidulated slightly
with hydrochloric acid is a favorite
thirst-allaying drink for fever patients.
Raspberry vinegar is a useful drink.
Sucking ice is very grateful.
According to a paper by Dr. Haviland.
read before the London Medical associ
ation, there is often to be found in in
habited valleys much rueumatisu,
whicli frequently results in heart dis
ease. The cause of this in his opinion
is, that valleys do not get sufficient
fresh air, which is so essential to vigor
ous life. The winds, in fact, blow over
them and not through them, and conse
quently emanations from the soil remain
instead ol being dispersed. 1 As a rule,”
remarks Dr. Haviland, “ the cottages of
the poor nnd the mansions of the rich
arc found in those troughs of disease—
valleys.” If the lands in the valleys
were properly drained, those emanations
from the soil would in a great measure
cease to exist, nnd the valleys wohld
almost equal the hills’ in freedom from
disease.
One cf Mr. Moody’s Stories.
One of tho secrets of Mr. Moody’s
power is his ability as a story-teller.
This is well illustrated by the following
from one of his addresses in San Fran
cisco: “ When I was a young man, be
fore I left my nativo town, I was at
work in' the field one day in company
with a neighbor of mine. All at once 1
saw him begin to weep. I asked him
what the trouble was. He then told me
strauge story—strange to mo then,
for I was not at that time a Chris
tian. He said that his mother was a
Christian when he lb ft home to seek his
fortune. When he was about starting
his mother took him by the hand and
spoke these parting wo ds: * My son,
seek ye first the kingdom of God and hi
righteousness, and all things else shall
be added unto thee.' ‘This,’ said he,
‘ was my mother’s favorite text.’ When
he got into the town whore he was
going, lie had to spend tho Sabbath
tlicre. Ho Went to church, and the
minister took this very text: ‘Seek ye
first the kingdom of God.’ He thought
it very strange. Well, he said he would
uot seek the kingdom then; he would
wait until he got a start in life, until he
got a farm and somo money. Yet
that text troubled him. Again he
went to church and to his amazement
the sermon was on the very same text
He did not attend church for somo time
At last he was induced to again enter
the church, nnd behold, he heard the
preacher take that vory same text. He
thought then it was God speaking to
him, that his mother’s prayers were
being answered. But he coolly and de-
liberately made up his mind that ho
would not be a Christian. ‘I never
heard any sermon sinoo,’ said ho, * tbnt
has made any impression on me.’ I was
not n Christian myself then, so I didn
know how to talk to him.
“Tho timo came for mo to leave home
I went to Boston, and there I became
convert. When I got to be a Christian
tho first thing that came into my mind
was that man. I made up my mind to
try to bring him to Christ. When 1
camo home I mentioned the name to my
mother, and asked if he was living. ' Is
he living?’ she exclaimed. ‘ Didn’t I
write to you about him?’ ‘Write me
whalP’ ' Why, that he had gone out ol
bis mind, and is now in the insane asy
lum.* When I got up there he pointed
his finger at me. Says ho: 'Young man,
seek ye first the kingdom of God.’
He had never forgotten the text. Al
though his mind was shattered and
gone, the text was there. Tho next time
1 relumed homo my mother told me hi
was at home idiotic. I went to the
house to see him, and there was that
va aut look in his eyo. I said: ‘Do
you know me P’ He pointed his finger
at me, and said: ' Young man, seek ye
first tho kingdom of God.’ God had
driven that text into his mind, but his
reason was gone. The next time I re
turned home ho was dead; and when I
visited my father’s grave I noticed a now
grave stone had been put up. I stopped
to read it, and found it was my friend’s.
The autumn wind was making
mournful noise, and I seemed to he^r it
whispering the text: ‘ Seek yo first tho
kingdom of God.’”
Scenes at Jackson’s Inauguration,
Describing the scenes at President
Jackson’s inauguration, a letter in the
Washington Star says: Mr. Webster,
writing from Washington, says: “I
never saw such a crowd hero before.
Persons have come 500 miles to see
General Jackson.” Judge Story writes:
“ After the ceremo. y was over the
President went to the palace to receive
company, and there he was visited by
immense crowds of all sorts of people,
from the highest and most polished
down to the most vulgar and gross in
tho nation. I never saw such a mixture.
The reign of King Mob seemed tri
umphant. I wn3 glad to escape from
the scene as soon as possible.” No doubt
Story whs glad to escape; he wa3 a bit
ter opponent of Jackson, and it was not
to be expected that he could enjoy those
festivities. “ A profusion cf refresh
ments,” writes a participant, had been
provided. Orange punch was made by
barrels full; but as the waiters opened
the doors to bring it out, a rush was
made, tlio glasses broken, the pails of
liquor upset and the most painful con
fusion prevailed. To such a painful de
gree was this carried that wine and ice
cream could not be brought out to the
l'idios, and tubs of punch were taken
from the lower story into the garden to
lead oft the crowd from the rooms. Men
with boots on heavy with mud stood
on the damask-satin covered chairs in
their eagerness to get a look at the
President.”
“ I Know That.”
A London paper has heard of a case
where a droll fellow named Scrubbs got
into a first-el ass railway carriage, before
smoking carriages were invented. In
the carriage was seated a sour-looking
old gentleman. After the train had
started, Scrubbs took out his pipe.
“You mustn’t smoke here,”at once
said the old gentleman.
“I know that,” replied Scrubbs. He
then calmly filled his pipe.
“Did I not tell you,” said the o. g.
again, “ that you can’t smoke hereP”
“ I know that,” gloomily replied
Scrubbs, taking out his fusee box. He
lit a fusee, but now the wrath of the o-
g. was dreadful.
“You shan’t smoke here, sir !” he
shrieked.
“ I know that,” added Scrubbs, alley
ing the fusee to exhaust itself, when he
lit another, and another; the stench was
awful, the smoke suffocating.
The o. g., coughing and spluttering^
struggled for words. “You’d better
smoke,” said he.
“ I know that,” replied Scrubbs, ap
plying the blazing fusee to the expectant
pipe,

Thinking Aloud*
The late Duke of Cambridge bad
queer habit of thinking aloud, and par
ticularly manifested this singularity
during the performance of divine 6cr
vice. In the preliminary phrase from
the pulpit, “ Let ub pray,” he would
add mutteringly and unconsciously, “bv
all means—very proper.” He would
respond to the commandment, “Thou
shalt not steal,” “certainly not—very
wrong to steal,” and “ Remember that
thou keep holy the Sabbath day” re
coived a commendatory response—“ as
suredly very right.” It is recorded that
on one occasion, when “ prayers for
rain” were about to be offered up, he
exclaimed: “No use, ho use; the
wind’s easterly."
