In ,,nl,.r tht wo muv distinctly un derstand the cause nnd nature of the trade-winds, it lit necessary to boar U mind that the earth In the center of IU circumference, at an equal - I.. ...... f....n.

It extend 1KIJ dcg roes north and degree south of the equator, which U the utmoit limit tho mm traverses; for, whon arrived at either of then boundaries, he again cem to return toward the equator. It mint bo very evident that the region of the earth Included within a circle drawn 211 degree nor th and !M oulh of the equator which will comprehend tin gioatoit portlo i of Africa, a considei ablo pan of Asia and America, and many largo, fertile and populous 11 unit it In the Kiwt and Wet Indlo wlll receive constantly the iolur ray In a direction io little oblique a to cauw) the moit Intolerable heat It ii, therefore, called tho torrid sone; and the limit at which the urn Hop and appear to retrace his course, havo received the naio of tropica, or clrcloi of return. This being pro mUod, and It being alio rememborod that the earth revolve daily, "hor llent course advanelng," round the itin from went to east, tho cuuito of the tradc-wiiidi will bo readily under tin id. Tho ray of tho aun. In Iti apparent motion from ot to went, rarify the air beneath, and the air io rarllled rises into the higher region of the at mosphere. While lhi takes place, tho colder air from the adjoining tem perate MM rtuhn In to iiipply It place. Hut It Ih from the polar region north and aotith that those colder cur rent originally come; and did the earth remain at rl, such would lie their obvious direction. Initoad of this, however, north of the equator tho direction of the trndo-wlnd li from the northeast; louth of the equator, from the Houtheast; the cause of which Is thus explained! Tho velocity with which the earth revolves Is liiconsldurable at the poles, hut increases as we advance, anil is at It maximum at the equator; the winds, In sweeping from the polos, do not ac quire a corresponding velocity with the mill Inn nf tho earth as they ud-vaiii-o towards tho equator; therefore, moving more slowly than the earth, they are left behind; so that, to the observer who imagines himself at rest, the ulr appears to move in a direction contrary to the rotation of the earth, viz , from oust to west The external limits of the trade wind aro thirty degreos no th ami thirty degrees smith of the equator; but each limit diminishes as the sun advances to the opposite tropic. The larger tint expanse of ocean over which they sweep, the more steadily do they blow; accordingly, they are nunc steady In the I'iicIHc than In the Atlan tic, and In the South than In the North Atlantic Ocean. Within the region of the constant trade-wind rain seldom occurs, but It fall abundantly in the adjoining latitude. Tho reason Is. that rain I prodti 1 hy the sudden mixture of air of different tempera tures churgisl with moisture; but the constant circulation and Intermixture of the air from the upper strata of the atmosphere maintain so equal r temperature in these Intitule as not to occasion the coinleiisatloii of vapor which is tioceiaary for the production of ruin. Within the limit of the trade-wind, contrary to what might have been supposed from the latitude, the atmo sphere Is peculiarly cool and refresh ing. The climate of the Sandwich Islands I far more cool than might be supposed, judging from their latitude. To the trade-winds must this alone lie atti United; and thus hu Nature ren dered a region, which would otherwise have Is-en purched. arid and uninhab itable, exuberant In beauty and mug-nltlivnoo,- N.

Be sure and test your corn licfore plant ing. Don't breed a draft mare to a trotter or a thoroughbred. Mix the dry horse manure with the wet cow manure. There is no sweet core for late planting that excels StoweH'a evergreen. Don't breed to a misshapen, ungainly horse, even if he lias a long eiligree.

A gargle made of strong black ten and used cold, night and morning, is now the fashionable preventative in Imdon against falling a viction to sore throat during the cold winds of soring and sim ilar 'cold Ssils' at other times of the year. A delicious podding is made in this way : Chop a pine apple quite fine ; take some cake which is a little dry, rub it fine in vour hands or crush it on a knead ing board ; put it into a pudding dish in alternate lay en with the pineapple. sweeten abundantly, moisten with cold water and bake in a moderate oven for an hour and three-quarters. The way to test seed corn is simple and easy. Take two thin soils; on the soil side of one place the corn (take a kernel onlv from each of several cobs, fifty or so) moisten with warm water; place the other sod soil side down on them ; nut under the kitchen stove, keep moist with warm water three or four days. Lift up your top sod you will know what per cent will grow. Sow your celery seed. An ounce of seeds should produce L'000 plants. Sow on a tine seed la-d and cover the seeds very lightly.

For chapped hands take half n gill of olive oil and two ounces ot beeswax; cut vour wax into thin strips, put that and the oil into a gallipot on the hob and let it gently dissolve, after which stir it thoroughly and let it get cold, w hen it will be fit for use. If two hard, add more oil. This is a good thing for all chape. whether hands, feet orlips,iuid is neither disigrecable nor unpleasant if applied to the lips.

A rule for plainer ones may be wished for also. Two eggs, one cup of swcetinilk, a little, salt flour enough to make a stilt butter. These are nice with maple syrup. The earlv weeds that spring up on fields not intended for cultivation can (hi kept down by a flock of sheep.

To make a loaf of light corn bread for breakfast, la'at up two fresh eggs, add a cup of milk, half sour and half sweet, a lump of soft, fresh butter, a little salt and a little salaratus.

The batter, with the addition of a little flour, will make excellent griddle cakes. Thimble rigging is something new in the sewing line. Some one has invented a piece of thimble rigging w hich is con ductive to a seamstress' comfort. A me talic ridge is attached to one of the faces of the thimble just below the indenta tions.

Ih,. l iner Way In Wlilrti .limns I.eil Dp to the Subject It was seven long years since Jonas Barril hud begun to "keep company' with Miss Hannah Bell, and yet, ill all that time, ho had not mustered up courage to propose a certain Important question. His house was lonely and waiting; hors was lonely ououh to 00 vacated, and still Jonas could not bring himself to speu'c the docisivo WOrds, Muny a time ho hrfd wulkod up to her door with tho courage of n lion, only to llnd himself u very mouse when she ap peared. Ho had never failed in dropping in to cheer hor loneliness on Christmas even ing, and thus ho presented himself ai u-ual. The hearth was swopt, tho fire burned brightly, nnd Miss Hannah was adorned with smiles and n red bow. Conversation went serenely on for an hour or so, nnd then, when thoy both sat paring red-cheeked apples, with great contentment, Jonas began to cull upon his recollections. "It's a good muny years, ain't it, Hannah, since you and I first sot here togothor?" "Yes, n good many." "I wonder If 1 shall bo sottin' hero this time another year?" 'May-bo I shan't bo at homo. Per haps 1 shall go out to spond tho even in myself," said Miss Hannah, briskly. This wus a blow, indeed, and Jonas felt it. "Where?" he gasped. "Oh, I don't know," she returned, beginning to quarter her applo. "I might bo out to tea over to your house, for instance. n "But there wouldn't bo any ono over there to got supper for you." "May -bo 1 could get it myself." "So you could! so you could!'' cried Julius, his oyos beginning to sparkle. "But thero wouldn t bo anybody to cook the pies and cakes beforehand." "May bo 1 could cook 'cm," At thut moment Jonas' plute foil be tween his knees to tho hearth und broko in two, but neither of them noticed it- "Hunnuh," cried ho, with the pent npemphasis of seven long years, "c mid you bring yourself to think of gettin married.'" A slow smilo curved her lips; surely she had tieon given abundant timo for consideration. "May be I could." she returned, de murely, and Jona baa adntlrad himself to this day for lending up to the sub ject so cleverly. -Detroit Qommeroiml Advert ser. Largely a Matter of Faith.
