 WFIp-TT^ "m y^ fv f HOUSEHOLD. Yalne the B071. Too many men nuke thaktM^B feel that they are of little or bo aoewat while they are boya. Lay a reapooaibility on a boy and he will meet it in a nutnly spirit On no acisount ignore their di^oaitioa fe» inTee- tigate. Help them to onderstand thinga Eaconrage tfaem to know what tliey are about. We are too apt to treat a boy^s aeeking after knowledge as mere idle cnri- osity. " Don't ask questions" is pooradvice to Doya. If you don't ezplaio pazzling things to them, you oblige them to make many experiments before they find out and tliough experimental knowledge is beat in one sense, in another it is not, for that which can be explained clearly does not need experimenting witiL If the principle involved is understood there is no further trouble, and the boy can go ahead rightly. Do not wait for the boy to grow up before you b^in to treat hies as an eqnaL A pro- per amount of confidence, and words of encouragement and advice, and saving him to understand that you trust him in many ways, helps to nsake a ibm» of him long be- fore he is a man in either stature or years. Give him tools, says the writer, and let him find out for himself whether he has got any mechanical taste or not. Do not dis- courage him, as parents are apt to do by saying " Oh, it is no use for you to try to do anything with tools. I never have any taste that way, and of course you have not." If a boy finds he can make a few articles with his hand, it tends to make him re'.y on himself, and the planning that is necessary for the execution of the work is a discipline and an education of great value to uim. The future welfare and happiness of the boy depends on the surrqnndings of his youth. When he arrives at that period in hia life when he is obliged to choose what profession or what line of business to follow, it is highly important that he should take no false step. And if in his youth he has cultivated a taste for any particular branch, the choice of a profession or business will be made more easy. Lore and Bespect of Children- If mothers could only realize what a crit- ical period their children are passing through from the third to the sixth year, they would exercise more than ordinary care during that time. Not only physically, but men- tally and morally, they are undergoing a chahge for better or worse, according to the care and attention they receive from their mothers and fathers. A father is more exempt from certain duties toward his off- spring than a mother. He should always bear in mind that hia assistance- in the con- trol of his children is of more value to his tired wife than the presentation to her of a costly gift. It is at this time that the children begin to notice papa's and mamma's bearing toward one another let this always be one of perfect courtesy and respect. Nothing so quickly destroys respect for pa- re ats as constant bickerings in the presence of their children. The first thing a child should be taught is respect for their parents and elders affection comes natural with most children, and it is the most valuable aim in gaining control of their actions next to this is respect without it very little can be accomplished for the child's welfare. Parents should bear this in mind, that chil- dren lose respect very soon upon hearing them disagree usine; bitter words to each other. This is inflicting the first actuU pain these baby hearts have been called upon to bear. In the presence of this the child experiences conflicting emotions, which ends in pity for one parent and contempt for the other. Oh, parent, pause, consider before you lose this hold on the little being who has heretofore considered you perfect. A Mothjr'aPi'B- A woman gifted at idaaiag " grab-big " socials called on a nsaih^f, saying, " \Ve have many useless artic'j" that must be dis- posed of somehow. X.'iTa concluded to plaje them all on the oci table, under the charge of our mist f:^a:.inating young la- dies. Gentlemen will chat with them, then cannot go away without buying something and the ladies can put their own prices on the articles. We really want your daughter, she his such winning ways." Seeing indis;- na:iaa gathering in this noble mother's face, and knowing ho.v carefully sheliad guarded her children from social cintiminatioui she aJded, "Of course, she will have to play the agreeable to a good many you might not ap- prove; but she need not recognise them after- ward."

Russian fisheries -•• The fishery trades are systematically per- sued in Russia, since so much cf the na- tional life depends on these industries. As a general rule, a company of capitalists be- gins by forming a fishing station, (^/^cAttt^,) and here' they make a dam they catch tha fish they manufacture nets, harpoons, traps, and lures they convert fish retuse â€" heads, bones, scales, entrails, and sounds â€" into glue, gelatine, and isinglass, or even into manure they split, clean, salt, smoke, or freeze the fish, and they distribute them through the country to their agents for sale, much of this latter work being done by sledges in Winter to save freight. They also pursue the more lucrative fish in- dustries, suiih as manufaiituring the finest kinds of isinglass and gelatine, as well as that curious fish product known as caviare.' "' Twas caviare to the General," wrote Shakespeare, when the IJussian Company of London introduced it to this country and unless men triin themselves to eat olives, they are still likely enough to splutter when they get a mouth full of it. Cdviare is the roe of the sturgeon tribe of fish, but salmon anl pike roes are usually added to assist, in increasing the bulk. The roe is cleaned, then washed with vinegar, salted, and dried, when it b packed in casks. The best j quality is prepired more cirefully from the I sturgeons alone. The salting is conducted in loDC. narrow bag. -f. V»«v,^ "» Atm^SSm brine b tiMB pMnd teto aaoli bMimtaife^wflewi.

The Oexterlty or tke lABdea Baak XeDer IM â- aMlUiMC tke ColK of tke Kcalna. The London teller is probably the qnicic- est manipulator of coin in the world. This is largely owing to the fact that the smallest note issued in London is of the valne of £5, or $25. When asked for gold in a greater amount than his eye can count at a glance the teller, after counting it quickly with a piano-torte action, throws it with his copper scoop into hia faithful scales, and so checks his count. The weiehts of these srales are arranged in saitaole numbers. IheteUeralso checks the gold which he receives by weight and here his knowledge of hia business will be tested. One hundred new sovereigns are of full weight, rather more, in fact, but the same number taken at haphazard will be found to be nearly half a sovereign (or li p. c.) short in weight, .while £100 in ordinary half Boversigns are some- times twenty shillings (or 1 per cent.) short in value. The teller can quickly satisfy himself as to whether the deficiency is caused by shortage in the weight or the count, by diWdingthe amount and Weighing one moiety against the other. If they balance evenly the count is' correct and the difference is due to under weight. If the latter exceed the average stated, the coin will need to be specially examined there is probably something wrong. This question of light gold is an important one. One large London joint stock bank paid to the Bank of England £30,000 (|150,000) for deficient weight in its gold for one year. A practical teller knows heavy or full weight of gold by sight. The best test afforded by inspection is found in the strings of the Irish harp on the reverse of the coin. If they are frayed the coin is under weight, but if untouched by wear and tear it is full weight. The idge of the English bank counter is provided with a lip to prevent the coin from rolling over and to aid the teller in scooping up the money. The teller usually counts with the first two fingers of both hands, simultaneously sometimes he uses six fingers, and a tdler hu been known to count 450 sovereigns in one minute working against time. An expert teller will count one hundred pounds value of silver in seven minutes. When it is remembered that the. coins are always mixed and consist of six- pences, shillings, florins, half-crowns and crowns, with never a decimal conveuienc* among them, this will probably be considered as a remarkable feat. Theie is no selection of coins possible in such a count, ^yere that observed the count would take fully thirty minutes. The four fingers of the teller seize all the coins as they come, and if their action is bewilderingly quick what must be that of the eye and brain which can so promptly assess and add up those disjointed values so as to keep pace with the mechani- cal action of the hands And all the time an outlook is kept for base coin, of which sqch an expert will sometimes throw out fully half a dozen in counting a hundred pounds. fie Got the Place. A lawyer friend tells me he advertised for an office boy a few days ago, and as usual got a big bundle of answers. He got fairly well tired reading the various creditable things the young aspirants for the place had to say for themselves, but finally he struck a letter which really rested him. It was written on a very much soiled and crumpled piece of paper that had never been very white, and lan about as follows:. "I'm 12 years old. I hain't got no farther nor muther. I'm an orfan and I've E;ot to hustel. It betes all how hard times is." My legal friend read no more of the letters, but immediately sent for the writer of this one and gave him the job. The urchin has settled down to "hustling" in earnest and doesn't complain any more about the hard times. â€" Chicago Mail. People have been known to talk against gambling all their lives on every possible occasion, and then after all to go and get married. o^ B^SPESTION OF PiimiMijB, ThtLady: That is All v^ w^x^Bur what is too* b?c^, ,« ^iyvs^ siUEBZED mv tuVniPM':^.V^-::"!f' Atpirhv Jourmditt: Sa^^1mmt.r^ Lupw^ iw the Psess. ^T^^' '" ' FOS SUIDAI COVTEMPLATIOE- If yoa wonld msad the bad worid «re»te the new worM. If we moat answer for oar idle words, huw nmdi Boce for our idle silenoe. Providence chooses for u» more wi^ly than we can choose for oorselves. Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue. The innocence of the intention abates nothing of the mischief of the example. If we UTe a vicious person our friendship will bo vicious too it will be like those to ^hom it is given. When the religious fear ot God possesses the heart it expels the ignoble fear of man, and becomes the principle of courage and magnanimity. It is one charm of all virtues that they fill the soul with untold sweetness sfter being practised whereas vice leaves it har- aaied and ill at ease. The slanderer commita three murders with his idle tongue: He destroys his own soul and that of him' who hearkens, as well as causing civil death to the object of his slander. A work done in our sight by another di- recto us better in the practice of it it is more acceptable and of more powerful effi- cacy to reform us than admonition by word. The plans of divine wbdom are too large and comprehensive to be discovered by as in all their extent and where we see only l^ parte we must ^jequently be at a loss in judging of the whole. A companion that is cheerful and free from swearing and scurrilous discourse is worth gold. 1 love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning. You may pick out such times and such companies that you may make yourselves merrier for a little than a great deal of money, for it is the company and not the charge that makes the feast. An excessive reserve and stiffness, which stands aloof from familiar friendly conver- sation is untrusting, and implies a certain sort of contemptuous pride, while an incess- ant babble and chatter is frivolous and troublesome. Marriages which meet the approval of everybody do not turn out so invariably de- lightful that we can afford to assume a cen- sorship of the parties who marry with no loftier idea than that of uniting themselves alone. After all the toils and labors of life, and all the main struggles which we maintain for pre-eminence and distinction, we shall find, at the conclusion of the whole scene, that to fear God, and keep his command- ments, is the whole duty of man. It is a common and jusc observation that they who lived always in affluence and ease, strangers to the miseries of life, are liable to contract hardness of heart, with .respect to all the concerns of others. Wrapped up in their own pleasures they behold with in- difference the most affecting scenes of dis- ti ess. Impressions of religion often check vice in its career. They prevent it from proceed- ing to its utmost length and though they do not entirely reform the offender, they serve to maintain order in society. Persons who are now bad, might probably have been wcrse without them, and the world would have suffered more from -unrestrained licen- tiousness. They often sow latent seeds of goodness in the head which proper circum- stances or occasions afterward ripen, though the reformation of the offender may not be so conspicuous as his former enormities have been. How Joseph Drained the LakO' Joseph, to wiiom may Allah nhow mercy and grant peace, when he was Prime Minis- ter of Egypt and high in favor with Raiyan, his sovereign, after that he was more than a hundred years old, became an object of envy to the favorites of the King and the puissant seigneurs of the Court of Memphis, on account of the great power which he wielded and the affection entertained for him by his monarch. They accordingly thus addressed the King " Great King, Joseph is now very old his knowledge has diminished his beauty has faded his judg- ment is unsound his sagacity has failed." The King said •• Set him a ^k which shall serve as a test." At that time el- Fayoum was called el-Hun, or the Marsh. It served as a wastebasin for the waters of Upper Egypt, which flowed in and out unre- strained. The courtiers having taken coun- sel together what to propose to the King, gave this reply to Pharaoh " Lay the royal commands upon Joseph that he shall divert the water of the Nile froni el-Hun and drain it, so as to give you a aew province and an additional source of revenue." The King assented, and summoning Joseph to his presence, said " You know how dearly I love my daughter, and you see that the time has arrived in which I ought to carve an estate for her out of the crown lands and give her a seperato establishment, of which she would be the mistress. I have, however no territory available for t^is purpose except the submerged land of el-Hun. It is in many respecta favorably situated. It is a convenient distance from my capital. It is surrounded by desert. My daughter will thus be independent and protected. " "Quite tras. Great King," responded Jo sepb," when would you wiah it done for accomplished it shall be by the aid of Allah the AU Powerful" " The sooner the bet- ter,"said the King. Then AUah inspired Joseph with a plan. He directed him to make three canals one from Upper Egyptj a canal on the east, and a canal on the west. Joseph collected workmen and dug the canal of Menhi from Ashmunin toel-Lahun. Then he excavated the canal of el-Fayoum, and the eastern canal, with another «^*in^l near tt called Ben-Hamed, beyond the in- habrted parts of Alphiom, from tiie desert of Ben-Hamed to the west. In this way the water was drained from el-Hun. ThM he set an army of laborers at work. They cut down the tamarisks and bashes which grew there and oatried them away. At th souon when the Nile begins to rue the mardi had been converted into good onltiv- able land- The Nile rose.
