I have prescribed it to others who had quite a number thus disabled, and about to be killed, and at a most hopeless venture the tur­ pentine was sent for, and the gratifying result was the recovery of every one.

Every farmer ahould be able to make repairs oo his wagons, gates and buildings. A room, or a portion of it, should be devoted to keeping tools; a pin or nail should be Inserted for each one to hang on, and the name of each tool written or painted Wider the pin, that it may b$ promptly returned to its place and Any missing one detected. Keep every tool in its j^ace--do not wait for a more convenient •eason, but return every one to its pin" the moment it is done with. If left out of place a moment it will be likely to re­ main a week and cause a loss of time in looking for it a. hundred times greater than in replacing it promptly. Keep­ ing everything in its place is a habit eosting nothing when formed. The tools should be a hammer, saw, augers, braoe and bits, gimlets, screw driver, wrench, ..two planes, chisels^ mallet, files and rasp, draw knife, saw set, trowel, and a box with compartments f|r di^event-sized nails, screws, nuts and bolts, Common farm implements •nd took, such as hoes, spades, shovels, forks, rakes, scythes, may be in the same room, on the opposite side, and the same precaution token to keep every one in its place.

A method far teachiug children lead­ ing, spelling and writing, " all at once/' has been practiced by a teacher in the West. She prepares on a slip of card­ board a word wluch may be made the principal one in a short sentence, as, for instance, " dog." The word is written and printed upon the slip, so that the pupil may learn the elements of pen­ manship with reading and spelling. The acliolars are made to read, spell, and write this word until they have learned it thoroughly. Then another slip* with the word "-the " upon it is given them, and t^ey are taught its meaning, use and relation. Other words are given in the same way, and the scholar is then taught to put them together to make sentences. Thus, in every new word that comes up the scholar is interested^ and his interest is preserved ail through.

Alick Thompson, of Virginia, tells a story illustrative of the peculiar ver­ nacular of the people among whom he was born, and of their special capacity for giving evidence in a court of justice in a compact, accurate and pioturesque style. Some time ago he chanced to be visiting at a county seat in Virginia, and was courteously invited by the Com­ monwealth's attorney to come into the court-rooib--on the following morning, with the^^iUancs that ^a witness would testify in a^nurder case then pending. He entered the eoi£rt-room, and speedily after his arrival a witness was called, who, advanoed to the stand with such a jaunty air of self-assurance, and who kissed the book with such loud-sound­ ing confidence, that he was sure this must be " his man.** His judgment wa* not incorrect. "Mr. Williamson," asked the Com­ monwealth's attqntey, " do you |u^ow anythiug ot the killing which toohgplaue at Robertson's store last mouth ? " " Know ally thing I " was the response ; " I was thar." "Then tell the court, and jury," said the attorney, " what you know." The witness^ planted himself more firmly on. both feet, glanced :• around upon his-' auditors, and thus delivered himself: " Well, you see, Mr. Boberson were a-sittin' in the back part of his store a-playin' of liis fiddle, not a-think- in* of bein' siobbed, nor nuthin' uf tl}e kind, when in come Mi1.

After some conversation, the applicant j ineluu»*l in no State or Territory, aud is, •aid that she especially desired a place j hi effect, without legal form, aud void he heard » great outcry and disturbance %mong the sparrows, -and his attention was immediately called to a tragioal scene Ih uij/ enacted upon the snow in the garden without. A bird,' in size and Appearance resem­ bling a mocking-bird, but of more vig­ orous movement, had savagely seized upon a sparrow, thrown it upon the snow, and--standing upon the sparrow's back--delivered with its beak a rapid series of blows at the base of, the. brain of the sparrow, which eeased to straggle in a few moments. The butcher-bird--for he it was--hav­ ing made sure of the death of the spar­ row, seized upon it and flew rapidly away. A few days afterward the shrike came again and killed other sparrows, and. becoming emboldened, at length located his " meat-market" in the garden, with an evident and landable intention of making thorough work with the spar­ rows. The butcher-bird wnr beoame so bold that it wan possible to follow him around and notice his habits and methods. It has been said to be the habit ci this bird to use the large thorns of the thorn- bush for the purpose of impaling its ccl- lections of derd birds and insects; it was now, therefore, eloeely watched to see, what if xyottld do WM'Wiv no tliom bushes. It whs observed to seize upon and de­ stroy * sparrow, carrying it away into a tree. Soon it oanie back and eaptur d another sparrow, killed it and carried it ufi to a distant portion of the garden-- which is large and filled with tree*. Anxious to more closely observe its methods, Mr. Colvin brought an ojjera- glass to bear upon the bird. Some plum trees growing in the garden possessed spines almost equal to thorns, and ft *edined possible that the butcher-bird might endeaTor to impale the dead bird on these thorns. The thorns were too dull, however, bat the bird wa« rerteialy far from dull, and quite equal to the occasion, for, choosing a tree on which the small, stiff twigs separated at a nar­ row angle, he would deftly punch his >purrow between the twigs, springing them apart so that the dead bird was held tightly; thus, with his neatly- otjuged little market of sparrows, show­ ing himself fully entitled to his name of "butcher-bird."

OILIHG TSVABLRT-JFE FEB JPA TIKJFTB, A distinguished London physician, writing to the London Times about scar­ let fever, says : "The method of oiling patients during the period of desqua­ mation after scarlet'"liver has been largely used for Vjany years; it is far more constantly employed on the con­ tinent than in England. It possesses oertain definite advantages, and when, ever scarlatina patients are of necessity treated in private hpuses it should be adopted, except when contra-indicated the condition uf the patient, l>ecanse it diminishes the risk o^ infection to others. It does so, however, by pre vehting the ready 'distribution of the particles of skin through the atmos­ phere ; but neither oil nor glycerine is a germicide or disinfectant, and the scales of epidermis are ju*t oa infections after as before their application."

Shaler, the New England geolo­ gist, has given in a recent paper an ill­ ustration of the great changes of sur­ face to which our globe has beak sub­ jected in a succession of ages. He takes Boston and its vicinity far a subject, and shows the transformation occasioned chiefly by the glacial period. Two parallel mountain ranges, he says, once lifted their summits as high as the Alleglienies, the one on the north, now represented by the Waltham hilln and the other by the Blue hills in Mii«w on the south. These were covered by a solid sheet oi ioe two miles thick in the glacial period. The massive glacier ground them down by its power, being assisted by the sub­ sequent action of air and water, to their present level. Parser hill in Boxbury, Powder-Hem hill in Chelsea, and Corey hill in Brook- line, are made up by material ground by the glaciers from these mountains, and so were the three hills for which Boston was originally called Trimountain. This same material also filled up parts of the harbor, which wonld otherwise include Cambridge, Maiden, Revere, Brookline and Quiney, and other suburban towns. To a resident in Boston, familiar with its environs, it seems impossible to be­ lieve in these changes.--Youth'a Obm- vanion. P I L E S A B S O L U T E L Y C U R E D . PILE REMEDY.
