lieen a favorite and delightful resort for
fishing parties, and contained nearly in
it* centre an island comprising nearly pn
acre of ground, covered with luxuriant
grass and a growth of willow and alder.
It was never dreamed that the pretty
little island was not a part of terra firtmi;
hut when the bulkhead across the outlet
of the lake dammed up it* waters, the
island rose slowly until it had Wen ele¬

the naturalist, rather than the geologist,

Healing Rower of Imagination.
The records of medical practice are
full of the illustrations of the influence
i f the imagination, for good or for
evil. over the functions of the bodv;
and philosophy finds in them a key to
the wonderful persistence of many
popular lief that .superstitions. disastrous The firm be^
result, any death itself, physiological will
follow even given surely
a act or occurrence, is very
apt and to bring nliout the dreaded calamity ;
every repetition of the seeming se¬
quence of cause and effect tends to con¬
firm and strengthen the mischievous
tiejief. this tendency As a of means perverted of counteracting imagination,
charms for averting evil often play a
really imaginary beneficial part. The protection is
as as the dreaded evil; but,
assuming a Iwlief in the fictitious dan¬
ger—a belief strongly tending to make
the danger real—the charm substitutes
a more hopeful belief nni the dauger
ceases.
A curious illustration of this
action of the mind is reported
from San Francisco. An aged nenro, at
the |w>i nt of death, was saved by the
transfusion of blood—about eight
ounces—being taken from the wile’s
arm. The man recovered, but the
•roman went into a curious decline,
against food which tonics and nourishing
were of no avail. At last the pa

her ailment, which kept her from rest¬

ingiy, “ it's that blood of mine the old

when that old man comes
back, I want you to give me my blood
back.”
The doctor, seeing that the woman
would not be appeased unless he com¬
plied with her request, promised to re¬
turn the next day, first informing her
or the dangers of the operation, ami that
it was resorted to only iu the most urg¬
ent cases, She would hear of no expla¬

will do wp! 1 in May or the fir*t of June,
but the Brahmas and Cochins must

Horae Feed.—Corn is an excellent
feed for horses to work on; perhaps not
ao good for fast driving. Horses are
more quiet and tractable on corn than
with any other grain, •and will do more
hard pulling with less loss in condition.
Oats makes a horse sprightly and active;
corn may make a horse dull and slow,
but strong. F r colts, wheatbran should
be mixed with the corn; it wifi be

What There is in Wheat,—The wheat
grain its coverimrs. is a fruit consisting All the middle of a seed part and of
the grain is occupied by large, thin cells,
full of all a the powdery substance, which con¬
tains starch of the wheat. Out¬
side the central starchy mass is a single
row of squarish cells filled with a yel¬
lowish material, very rich in nitrogene
ous, that is, flesh-forming matter. Be¬

or coverings, containing much mineral
matter, both of potash and phosphates.
The outermost coat is of but little value.
The mill products of these coverii gs of

percentage of valuable and nutritious
tood. Middlings not only contain more
fibrin and mineral matter than fine
flour, but also more fat. The fibrous

Odd Names.
In examples of curiou* Christian

is no dis¬
trict richer than the West Riding of
Yorkshire. Every out-of-the-way Scrip¬
ture name is to be found. L-'vi and
Moses are great favorites. Marquis,
Duke, Eirl, Lord and Squire are com¬
mon, and children are actually baptised
Little Tenter, Littie Scribbler, etc.,
from the branch of the woolen manu¬
facture carried on by their parent*. I
have met with a boy named Washing¬
ton christened General George, a girl
named T.jgotubuiine, and still more ex¬
Counsellor traordinary, a boy called is., Wonderful
(from Isaiah (>.) Nick¬
names Bill, Jerry are being quite common, Tom, baptism Ben,
conferred at
instead of the lull name. In some of
the rougher villages I should add that
surnames are still dispensed with or un¬
known. Tom’s Bill means Tom’s son
Bill. Tom o’ Bills is the same, while
Tom’s Bill o’ Jack’s means that Bill is
the son of Tom, the son of Jack.
Modest* is becoming in beauty, and
