For many year* the lake lias 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.

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.

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 lighter and less heating.

Be¬ yond t’ds again there are six thin coats 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 the seed are peculiarly rich in nutri¬ ment, and fine flour is robbed of a large percentage of valuable and nutritious tood. Middlings not only contain more fibrin and mineral matter than fine flour, but also more fat. The fibrous matter or outer coat, which is indigesti¬ ble, forms one-sixth of the bran, but not oue-hundreth of the fine flour Wheat contains the greatest nuantity of gluten and the smallest of starch; rye, a medium proportion of both, while in barley, oats of starch and corn, the smallest pio glnten iwirtion tobe found. and the smallest of. are In practice . 10t» pounds o! flqur will make from 183 to P° u *L d ® of bread, a gotxi average being 136 pounds; hence a barrel of 1% pound* loaves, should yield 266 one-pound Topics for tl»e lienee ™ hold. ,, o? oickieL . , Kmenn , fuatet don ^ top ot ptextes, w ll. impart * Peasant taste, aud also prevent mold.
