Between 1857 and 1876, tbe value of imported and cereal food conn timed in Great Britain roee from 35,000,000 to $110,000,000, about one-half being repre sented by wteat; in fact, it seems that the half of every loaf eaten in England is made of foreign wheat. One point which has not been fully noticed before ia that to-day the i.se of food derived from ant mal sources has very much increased in England. Thirty years ago not more than one-tiiird of the inganu people con trained animal food even once in the week To-day nearly all of them use it at least once every day. Mow, ten years ago tne United Kingdom produced nine-tenths of the meat and dairy produce which waa eaten, but last year tnree-iourtns only were mode, the other fourth coming from abroad. Col. "Waring, in The Bulletin of the American Jersey Cattle Club, gives an account of a cow that is blessed with a pedigree that should make her a very valuable animal. He says: " Not only was this cow born in two diflerent years. bred by two different gentlemen, begot ten by two different sires, out of twe dif ferent dams, bought by two different i owlers, imported in two different snips, and- sold on two different dates to two dif ferent owners, but she has been regis tered in the herd registar of the Ameri- ican Jersey Cattle Club under two differ ent numbers. A cabinet-maker can make a flower stand the hottest day in the season, but a washer-woman can't make a linen collar stand more than fifteen or twenty min utes after the mercury crawls out the top of the thermometer and begins to climb tne iiberty-poie.

JUaCtmvS MaJisIOM , June SO, 179. Public Men Whe are Afraid of Women. No city in the Republic, not even Now York, so swarms with adventuresses as Washington, which has lor years been the chosen field of the bold, dangerous. wholly unprincipled tribe. They can be counted toy hundreds; tney are or every sort ana aegree. mey are in uie jueparv ments, at the hotels, at the boarding houses everywhere that a man can be found, seduced or frightened, lueir missions are multifarious and their move ments mysterious. They are seeking positions; they are lobbyists; they have, or their friends nave, claims. J. hey need personal, political, pecuniary assistance indeed, all kinds, except the moral kind. Most of them are blackmailers. The widow Oliver was but one of the many. They are so crafty and treacher ous that public men of reputation or means are afraid of, and always on the alert against them. The late Salmon P. Chase, would never, during his official life at the Capitol, see a woman he did not know intimately, except in the pres ence of witnesses. Many CongresHmon, Senators and other ofiiee-holders have also made it a rule to receive no visits from women alone. Senator Chandler, though not noted for delicacy, is partio ularlv careful on this point. So is Ben Butler, despite his audacity and reckless ness. These and other public men re fuse to see women at their rooms, or houses, or anywhere, without third per sons. The experience of others, if not their own, has made them wary and ap prehensive. There are, doubtless, many men not afraid of any man. We question if there be any man not afraid of women If there bo, he has surely never been in Washington. Piping Off Klagara. Sir William Thompson, professor of the natural philosophy at the University of (ilaL'ow, believes mat in the future the Falls of Niagara will be used for tbe pro daction of light and of mechanical power over a large portion or North America, To a Glawcow committee who were con- sideriae the subject of the electric light. he said that the electricity produced by the falls might be advantageously con ducted for hundreds of miles, and the manufactories of wbolo towns might be set in motion by it. Powerful copper conductors would nave to be used con ductors of a tubular form, with water flowing through them to keep them cool TWELVE IUYB IN LOVE It was a cold night in January. Peo- plo wore hurrying along through the blinding snow-rstorm, battling with the wind that howled and moaned out by turns Its slorv of woe. Hugh lUunington and his friend Wil- Hums, gliul to bo out of the storm, had settled themselves in gown and slippf for a on iot evening at homo. The shut ters wero closed and tlio curtains drawn. and on either side of the hearth waa plrteed the favorite chair of each. These f rioutls had lived together in their bach' clor tiuarters for more than two years, Everything in the apartment showed re nnet! taste and wealth. Home said that it all belouKod to Hugh, and that ho mode it a homo for his friend. No one, however, knew this to be true, Hngh was quiet and reserved, seldom spoke of his alfairs to any ono, never laid any sixM'lal claim to anything, but allowed ft to appear that alt tiling were cquany shared. After the evening papers hod been read and discussed, tho two not talking of days goue by, of little episodes in their livos. llugh was in a talkative mood, and had told several good a torioa of his iNtst life; stopping suddenly, he exclaimed: " Did I ever tell you of my love for tho widow ? " " No." replied Williams, " lofs havo it." "Well " said Hugh, taking another cigar, and looking very serious as he leannd back in his great cany chair, "J met her in Paris. "Met who?" " Oh. never mind who. Be content that I am tolling yon the story, and don't ask for names. T thought of her as the widow.' It is a aufllcient title." Well, I won't iuterrupt. Go on." Ho Hugh continued; "I was railing mon my old friend. Mrs. Lee, and while waiting for the ser vant to take her my card, an odd piece of brio-a-brao standing in tho corner of the room attracted my attention. I got np and went over to examine it. While Ui us engogd the door oixmed. I turned. thinking it was Mrs. lice, when, oh I what a beauty met my sight! so small tltat she looked like a child, large, deep blue eyes that came out from under a maxs of light golden curls, a inuiii none ami rosebud of a mouth. She was dressed in deep mourning, and I thought, as I looked at her, that i had never seen more beautiful picture, blio didnt see me nntil I mode a slight movement, which startled her. Coming forward, I said: " ' I frightened yon, did I not? " " Yos; I was not aware that there was any one in tho room. You are waiting for Mrs. Leo?' And she gave me the sweetest smile, showing a most perfect row of t"-tli. " Before I con! a answer, Mrs. le - pearod and introduced ns. Mrs. was making Mrs. le a short visit prior to her departure to America, I was glad of that, as I should then have the pleas ore of seeing her again. The eveutner tinsMed only too quickly. and I arose with an ajology for staying so late. Mrs. Leo invited me to dine with them informally the next day. She said her frind preferred being tfniet, so they should ' quite alone, loo may be sure that I accepted tho invitation, and waa there promptly at the hour. Tho widow was mora charming than on tho previous evening. I longod to stop the hours from rolling on. Having been in the habit of dropping in at Mrs. Leo's at all hours, my frequent almost daily visits were not noticed as anything strange or unusual. Mrs. Leo thanked me for coming to them in their loneli ness, and the widow would give me one of her sweet smiles, and I was thankful in my inmost heart tltat they were lonely, and tliat it fell to my lot to cheer them. So the weeks passed, until the time came for tho departure of Mrs. Lee's friend. ' Now, I had intended passing a month or two in England before coming home, but wheu I found that the widow was to return in ten days, I began to think that mv duty called mo back to my business. The more I thought of it, tho more im portant it seemed to me that I should go. " uo you Know ot any one going on the 15th? the widow asked me, one evening, in her dove-like way. " ' No one bnt mvself .' I answered ' Business has called me sooner than I expected.' now aeiigntiuii iroin the widow; while Mrs, Lee exclaimed, Oh, Mr. Remington, I am so glad! I couldn't bear tho idea of my friend going en tirely alouo, and you, of all others, will know oesi now to take care oi nor. "We then began to make our plans. Mrs. intended making a visit of a few days to some friends in London. I was going direct to Liverpool. Mrs. Lee and I drove down to see our friend off, and I looked forward to tho pleasure of meeting her on board tho steamer. My last days in rans were spent m saying 'good-bye to old friends, and buying f resents for sister Nell and the children, got every nouveauto that I could find, and felt well pleased with my selection. At last I was on the steamer, and stood lookincr at the shin moving awav. Bv my side was the widow, and X thought that I had never seen her look so lovely. 1 exulted in the knowledge that she knew no one on board. I was her only friend. consequently I should have her all to myself; this was (so I said to myself) what I hod for weeks been looking for. Was I in love? That question had not occurred to me. I felt supremely happy, and thought the situation delightful. I was ready to do anything for this fair creature. She bod only to command; I was all eagerness to obey. I soon had opportunities of showing my devotion. '-' The following morning I came out on deck very early, and was surprised to nna my little lady thero. one looked very miserable and very pretty. The morning salutation over, I asked how sho had slept. " '1 haven t slept at all,' she said in a fretful, childish way, which I thought charming, ' Such a noise all night, she continued, I could not got to sleep; and the smells are simply dreadful. I must have another room. I'd rather sit up here all night than sleep in that horrid place again. Don't you think, Mr. Rem ington, if you asked tho captain or some bod v. he would irive me another state room ?' and her big eyes looked inquir ingly into mine. - " 'Certainly,' I said, I will go at once and see about it, and if thero is no other you shall change with me. Take my room, which is a good one, and as I don't minu either noise or smells, your room will suit mo well enough.' " Here Hugh leaned over his chair to knock the ashes off his cigar, and said to his friend: " I must have had it pretty nan on, v tiiuttns 1 to nave said that, for you know that I can't endure either a fid odor or a loud noise. But I forgot everything when under tho influence of tiioso eyos, and when sho exclaimed, 'Oh, no; I couldn't lot you do that,' I felt that my fute was scaled, and that I siionid take the noise and tbe smells. " The next thincr that I discovered wan that my lady had' no sea chair. There was only one left, and that hod been siKiken for; but I paid doublo the amount ami mo chair was mine. " 'You are so kind, Mr. Remington,' khosaid, 'I dou't know what I should have dono without yon. I am not fit to travel alone,' sho oddod in a chlllish voico. " I longed to Press her to m v heart and tell of my love; and if she would but let mu, it would bo the joy of my life to care for. I looked all this: I am sure I did. Hut thero wcro too many jiooplo around mo to speak. She sat with her hands folded in her lap, and looked divinely unconscious. The third day out the weather be came bitter cold. " I am almost frozen, said Mrs. . What aliall I do? I lutve nothing to wrap around me, and shall have to stay below, and. oh dear! it is so nncomfori- there! The face turned up to mine was that of a apoilud child. " Now. I hod a fine Enrxlish robe, which I had used at night, for von know every thing at sea is so horribly damp. It had been a great comfort to me, and I knew I should miss it. But what of that? I couldn't see tha woman I loved suffer. Ho I got it and tucked her all up in it. Her delicious smile repaid mo for the socriUco. " 'Ob. how nicef sho said, as sho nut her hands under the warm rug. ' It seems to me, Mr. Remington, that you have everything to make one comfort able. Inever hoard of such a man. I am so glad that I came undr your care.' I was so love stricken that I did not reflect upon her apparent unconscious ness of the fact that I had deprived my self of those comforts in order tliat she should be made comfortable. She seemed to take it for granted that I was a sort of traveling missionary, with extra wraps, etAto-ruoms, chairs, and any anything else tliat one might need; and I waa such a slave to her infatuation that, had she asked me to do the impossible, I should have attempted it. " Lvery day I had it upon my lips to tell her of my love. Each day courage forsook me. We walked the dork dav after day. She would put her little soft band on my arm in the most confiding way. look up from under hor curie, langb her sweet low laugh, sod ttnk the most childish, innocent questions. " We wero walking this way on the sixth day out.

" I went below and got all my pretty nouveautes, and brought them up to her, Placing; a chair in a quiet corner, and well hid from the other people, then drawing mine up beside her, I began showing one by one my collection of odd things.

She already knew my heart. Ther was no time to talk ; all was excitement ; we were rapidly approaching; handkerchiefs were waving from the dock. The widow was straining her eyes, when suddenly leaving me and going farther forward I saw her throw a kiss. How I longed to catch it I I looked with jealous eyes to see who would take it up and answer it. f oremost among the crowd waa a great big man. six feet, and broad in propor tion. It waa ho who was returning ber kisses. Could it be her brother, or was it a friend, and this merely a pleas ant greeting from a distance? I watched him come on board, and what did tho big idiot do but catch her up in his arms my sweet one, whom, though loving, I had never dared to touch and kiss her over and over again. I could have knocked him down. On drawing nearer to them. I saw that neither of them noticed me. She had forgotten my existence. With a heartsick feeling I turned away. Was this to be the end ? Why Lad I come home? I could bear them talking, though too miserable to listen. They came nearer, and the same soft voice that I loved so dearly said : Mr. Rem ington, 1 have been talking about you, telling how good and kind you have been, and how utterly forlorn I should have been had you not always looked out for my comfort. I have come to thank you., and my husband wants to thank you too. " Her husband ! Great heavens! And I thought she was a widow, and had made lovo to her I I listened as though in a dream, and a deuced unpleasant one it was too.. I believo he thanked me, and she praised, and he thanked again, and then they urged me to come to soo them, and Bho said : ' Don for got Saturday.'

" You don't mean that she never sent them to you ? l never gave her my address, and she was not supposed to know where I was. Williams didn't like to ask any more questions, and Hugh remained quiet for a time. Then rousing himself up and getting out of his chair, he Baid : " I have never made love since, and " with a bitter laugh " I always avoid women in deep mourning. And now as the fire has gone out with my story, x win we naa cotter go to bed. Words of Wisdom. Tears are the gift which love bestows upon the memory of the absent, and they will avail to keep the heart from suffoca tion. It is a curious fact that on the track of knavery a misplaced switch will be found somewhere, and it is sure to wreck the train. Good pictures are great teachers. A fine work of art hanging in one's house speaks to him constantly in language of tender beauty that wins its way to the heart. What is difficulty ? Only a word indi cating the strength requisite for accom plishing difficult objects; a bugbear to children and fools; only a mere stimulus to men. False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never com municated. The true happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happi ness is always snarea. Some eyes threaten like a loaded and leveled pistol, and others are as insulting ns hissing or kicking; some have no more expression than blueberries, while others are as deep aa a well which you can fall into. Some Important Facta About Pefsoaa. " Poison : A substance which, when taken into the stomach, mixed with the blood, or applied to the skin or flesh, proves fatal or deleterious, anything in fcTtloti or malignant." Our scissors make tbe first clip out of tbe greatest evil as well as tbe greatest good known in tbe medical world. For after tbe fashion o the old saying, "It takes a thief to catch a thief," in public systems, so in tbe indi vidual system if one poison has stolen r.way into the net-work of veins 4y fair means or foul, there is small hope of re covering one's own, save another poison be sent after it All medicines seem to be more or less poisonous. But owing to tbe large doses those classed "lees" require to produce death or even deleterious effects, they are by tbe mass of people regarded as harm lers, for arsenic, strychnine, opium, chlo roform, mercury, and perhaps a few other re redies, cover all to them, dangerous poisons. Yet we read in a daily paper of Child suddenly attacked by a severe vomit'ng which caused the usual reme dies foiling to check, ends in exhaustion and death ; and tbe cause is laid any where but st tbe conlectioner s counter, where the boy bought bin candies and cakes Savored with bitter almond. The bitter almond is a powerful poi son." A single drop of tbe essential oil on a cat's tougue made a dead pussy of a living one in Just five minutes, by exper iment, borne delicate organizations, espe c'a'ly among children, can bear bot little of this essence, the smallest quantity pro dJcing an eruption like nettle-rash, if nothing worse, and yet, macaroons are eaten and given to children with impu nity, while confectioners are often now-a-days ur!ng, not the bitter almond, but the eeseatial oil for their flavoring. There is a "family connection" between the bitter and sweet almond, bow e'eee it is not eas ily denned, bjt sufficient to show that on some persons the sweet nut on oar tables, if eaten, produces an effect similar to that caused by tbe bitter almond. J-isb poison is one of tbe most singu lar in tbe range of toxicology." Certain kinds oi nsn in not countries are looked upon as always poisonous. Other kinds are only poisonous to peculiar constitu tions at certai n tiineeml depending some- what on tre ciimt. ine richer sort or vertebrate fish, though eaten with perfect safety by mankind in general, aTre never theless poisonous, either at all times or only occasionally to peculiar individuals. The fact is self evidert to many of us wbo have experienced nausea ailer dating white nab. salmon, lobsters, etc. at one time or another, and instinct is wise wben it Deeds the bint and declines the poison in future. Lead poison we are more familiar with. as some members of our household are more susceptible than others to the inju rious effect of water run through lead pipes. But the poison in this case, acting slowly and subtly is usually class ed under tbe broad, good naturedly errbracing term, "malaria." Those who work in lead mines or anyway with lead, and absorb its fine dust into their svstesa, except by the geeatest care, sooner or latei nave wnat is called printers' or painters' aisy. l ne nabit oi children to wet or ite their lead pencils is often followed by serious result, which are more likely to a close school room and hard study, thaw tne to lead pencilelate pencils and rnalk they have munched on at short intervals nve days out or every seven. Another of tbe every day poisons is found in tbe syrup which is tbe leading feature of the American breakfast table. "The use of chloride of tin in glucose Byrups has been proven by numerous analysis." Think of that, oh ye who in dulge in "golden drip" and "maple syrup" on cold, wintry mornings, on your liot cakes. Beware of any syrup that leaves a metallic taste in the mouth, lest by means of the sweet liquid your stomach gets tinlining, and yon, woendring why on earth you have developed dyspepsia, con clude mat it rntpi te the not cakes dis agree with you. And if the said cakes are made of raising easy stuff called baking powder, very likely the disagree ment can, in part, be laid to then for analysis has shown that baking-powder contains a large proportion of desiccated alum. Spring Perils. Tbe first sunshine of spring is deceitful. and the draughts of air pernicious. One needsjo be as carefully swathed in flannel during the spring thaw as nnder tbe per meating influence or an autumn freeze. Changes of temperature are insidious as tbey are sudden at this season, and it be hooves people with lungs susceptible to atmospheric alternations to be most care ful indoors and out; to wear garments appropriate for all seasons, never trusting to chance. A heedless person may throw upon overtaxed shoulders a burden griev ous to be borne by inattention to things which only a perpetual consciousness of facts could spare them. I know an es timable lady who, after three years of constant care on the part of friends, ter minated her frail life by a willful deter mination to take a sleigh ' ride of a few blocks. Her lungs despite the muffling in rich fur, could not resist the influx of strong air ; congestion ensued, and the home was broken. Life is too brief and too precious for such experiments ; it is a God-given treasure, which no one bot a coward and an idiot will recklessly risk or throw away. Hence, it behooves us to make the most ef the immunities of art science which tend to prolong, to pre serve or einbelish it, to garnish the tem ple in which the Creator has put His soul to dwell, as to render it acceptable bere or hereafter. Sewark Advertiser. Use Good Language. We advise all young people to acquire in early life the nabit of using good lan guage, both in speaking and writing, and also to abandon the use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live the more difficult the acquisition of good lan guage will be ; and if the golden age of youth, the proper time for the acquisition of language, be passed in abuse, the un fortunate victim of neglected education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to procure this education. Every person has it in his power. He has to use the language which he reads instead of the slang which he hears; to form taste from the best speakers and poets of the country; to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and habituate himself to their use, avoid ing at the same time that pedantic preci sion and bombast which show rather the weakness of wasted ambition than the polish of an educated mind. Never run into debt, unless you can see a way to get out again. Earn money before you spend it. Never borrow li you can possibly avoid it.
