It is said that nature intended that persoms should sleep with their feet to the equator. But when your wife comes back from starting the fire on a December morning and deposits her cold feet against your equator, doesn't it seem as though the intention of na ture in this respect must have been mis interpreted ?

Yes, it was rather a curious start that I had in business. The first thing I did, after having saved a little pile of money, was to set up a shanty in bioux City. I had all sorts of traps to allure Indians, and I wanted to buy any kind of pel tries, scaips excepted, uut l was a new arrival, and the noble red men couldn't believe in me without help, and I found trade rather dull. Late one night, how ever, as I was sleeping among my stock, there came a tremendous banging at my door, and when I unbarred it, there was a tall fellow who seemed a little drunk; and said he, I want a butcher-knife." "All right. Come in," said I. " I want a reliable one," said he. " I want it to kill a man with. Give me a good strong handle. I want a knife that I can put in and turn round." Says I, " I think I can suit you. Walk in" and take a look." I knew him by that time. He wes a Virginian a splendid looking fellow and belonged to a good family, as I understood, but he had gone wild on the frontier, and done a great many illegal things and been forced to herd with the Indians. The consequence was that he spoke their language and was a person of influence among them. Well, I felt a little doubtful about his intentions, not knowing but what I was the man he was after; but all the same I got out my stock of tools and showed them. There was one, nearly two feet long, which I had bought for a cheese knife. Says I," I think this would answer your purpose." -Yes, I should think it might," says he. " How much is it?" I told him the price about four shil lings, I think. " I'll take it," says he. "But I haven't any money." Under the circumstances, seeing he had the knife in his fist and was ready to turn it around, I thought I had better offer to trust him. "You'd better not," says he. "You don't know me from any other gentleman." "But I've got to trust you," says I. "You've got the butcher knife by the handle, and I'm at the sharp end of it. Besides I believe I can trust you." Off he went, and I heard no more of him for a time, not even whether he had killed a man. But some weeks later he had put in an ap pearance and paid for the knife. "And now, youngster," says he, " I like the way you treated me when I roused yon out for trade. Yott didn't show the white feather. Some men hustled up at that time of night, would have been scared. But you behaved every way like a gentleman, and now I want to be have to you as one. There are some Indians coming in to-day and I'll bring them to your shanty to trade. Have you got any rum?" I hadn't any rum; I didn't keep it. "Well," says he, "we must have some rum. No rum, no in jun. Give me a couple of dollars." I gave him the money and he went off. When he came back he had a demijohn full of drink, and some tumblers. An hour or so later the Indians appeared, some 200 of them. First came the war riors with their rifles, bows and toma hawks; then followed the squaws, stoop ing almost to the ground with their loads. My man hailed them, but they did not want to trade with me; they didn't know me. There was a long pal aver; arid at last he threatened to kill some of them if they didn't follow' his friendly advice; and the end of it was that they gave in to save a quarrel. They crowded into my little shop, and drank my demijohn empty, and bought my stock clean out, and filled me full of peltries. 1 made 2,500 that season, went off in high spirits to lose it some where else to pick it no again. As for the Virginian, I lest sight of him, and never learned how he ended. I didn't even inquire whether he put his butcher knife in ami turned it around. It seemed to me too delicate a subject, Atlantic Monthly. Bees and Grapes. A correspondent of the Lancaster Fanner says: Reading the broad charges that honey bees j pierced grape skins, we began a close investigation oi ine question, lasting through a series of days. On the grapes of a vine growing in our yard hundreds of bees were literally swarming, their homo beingin a neighbor's yard, not 20 paces distant. We sat hour after hour watching closely the proceedings of the industrious insects. There was not a single raceme on the whole vine but was visited by dozans of bees, who examined every grape on it in search of a bursted one whose juices Were accessi ble. After a most careful search and finding r?ono such, they would imme diately leave and continue their search elsewhere, until the berry they desired was found. On all the defective fruit clusters bees were gathered, but we failed utterly in detecting in a single in stance anything liko an attempt at try ing to tear open a perfect berry; their investigations were hasty but thorough and when the desired spoil was not found no time was wasted in useless delay. There can be no mistake about this matter; our observations were careful and prolonged and must certainly have resulted in detecting the harm com plained of had any been done. That none was done we are positively cer tain, and we feel that these hard work ers deserve a good word in return for the odium cast upon them by theorists and carelass observers. The following is told of the Rev. Dr. Backus, -who was the first President of Hamilton College, at Clinton, New York. It appears that while he was preaching in a country village before he became President, his salary was ,'$200 and fire wood," but during one cold period his wood ran out, and he bought a cord of a neighbor, who rec commended hisfuelhighly. The doctor made up a fire, and put on the new wood to find that after the bark had sputtered furiously and quickly burned out, the birch itself would burn no more than so much iron. He hastened to his neighbor and said: " I want 20 cords more of that wood. " Twenty cords doctor? What can you do with so much?" "Smother the flames of hell; that's all it's good for!" Johnson's Papers. Andrew John son, it is said, preserved all his papers and died loaving them in upper story of a shop in Greenville. Throughout his life he carefully saved all tho papers and even took to Greenville complete files of three daily newspapers of New York, covering his Presidental term, Of telegrams alone he must have left more than abushel in a compact form. He saved them all, none was considered of so little importance as not be worth sav ing. He remarked onoe how little space a folded letter took up, and what small trouble to save them, and how impor tant they sometimes became. His only surviving son now lives quietlv in Greenville; he has only once sought office as a candidate for the Legislature and wos defeated. 'Sex in Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes has been writing a most kindly and appreciative letter about his friend, the Late Dr. Edward H. Clarke a gentleman whose book on "Sex in Education" planted thorns in the minds of m my excellent women, and called down upon his head much impatient criticism. He has suf fered for the past few years from a hope less internal disease which was full of anguish. He was never free from pain except when under the influence of ano dynes, and from time to time was racked with agony. Dr. Holmes says that it was only a few weeks before his death that Dr. Clarke spoke to him of the end as rapidly approaching, and then said that the trial at parting with his wife had been long over, even from the time when he had first sought the surgeon's opinion. One sleepless night, in which he walked his chamber alone with his fatal sentence; a letter preparing the one nearest to him for the inevitable ap proaching future; after that struggle he felt as if the darkest passage of the val ley of the Shadow of Death had been left behind him, and walked serenely forward from that day to the end. He seemed to enjoy discussing nice and dif cult questions with some of his visit ors, and it was pleasant following his lead , to see him forget himself in the analysis of mental operations, in which he showed a power of study and penet rating thought which would have giv en him a name in metaphysical specula tion if he had concentrated his efforts in that direction. He had the great ad vantage of having studied the working of the mind under various exceptional conditions, and had many strange things to tell from his own experience, all of which he had disposed to account for without invoking any of the vulgar machinery commonly called in to ex plain such phenomena. Ex. Decrease of Population in France. In a work just published by Dr. A. Proust of Paris, some remarkable fig ures are given, showing the progressive decline in the number of births in his country. Beginning with the present century, the number of births per thous and of the population has ranged stead ily downward; tabulated is successive periods of ten vears each, the figures are, 32,9, 31.7,30.6, 28.7;27.5, 26.1,26.3, Most other European countries show, in the same period, a small but steady in crease, the corresponding figures for Prussia are now 38.1; for England, 35. The rate of births for the United States is doubtless higher. On the other hand, France is not among the nations least successful in saving the lives of yo ung infants, and occupies a position in this respect better than midway. In a table of death of infants (per thousand born) occurring before they were one year old, Bavaria is at one extreme, with 372 deaths; Scotland, at the other, with only 156. England has 170; Belgium, 186; France, 216; Italy, 254; Russia, 311. Probably 'the record for Turkey, if it could be obtained, would exceed that of Bavaria; the reasons for the excessive mortality of infants in the last-named country are not however, definitely as certained. It is surmised that a nation al custom of wrapping babes very tight ly in bandages may bo among the causes. A Loafers' Paradise. The Ohio State Journal publishes a letter from Gen. Comly, in which Honolula is sketched with a free-and-easy hand, as a loafers' paradise. The natives, he writes, are the most careless, improvident, laughter-loving people in the world. They have no w inter to lay by for even the proverbial rainy day needs nothing there; so they danco and sing, and deck themselves with garlands, all the day long.. Men go here with great garlands of the lovliest flowers and green leaves hanging in festoens around the neckand shoulders down tho body, around the hat, everywhere. These men aro not the fops and loafers of the race, but the hard-working fellows the herdsman, the hackman, even the draymen, go about adorned in the most exqu isite taste, with flowers and leaves wreathed into forms of beauty which come to an Amer can like a revelation in art. They have no wealth nothing that would satisfy an American but they are always laughing, singing, playing jewsharps, or making floral wreaths. The Hawaiian knows that there will never be a winter's day to provide for, and that it will al ways be the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. The Sunday Law in Germany. The Berlin police well illustrate the differ ence between the State and the indiv idual, for, while the Emperor of Ger many set all the men at Krupp's foun dry to work on a Sunday, the Berlin shopkeepers are being vigorously fined for not pulling down their shop blinds on the Sabbath. And they make a fine distinction in the moral culpability of the cases. Thus, a man who had pull ed down his blind three-quarters of the way thus showing that he knew what his duty was, yet trying to criminally compound the matter was fined five marks; while another, who did not pull it down at all, and thus showed that his conscience did not acknowledge the duty, was fined only one mark. If this goes on, Berlin wili soon be as dull as London on the Sabbath. Lodonn Exmniner. In the State prison at Charlestown, is a man named Dunnahin who has had an eventful career. He was there when the war broke out, serving a sentence of thirty years, but, expressing a desire to enlist, he was pardoned on condition that he would do so. His bravery speed ily won the good will of his officers, who knew nothing of his antecedents, and after the battle of Fredericksburg he acted as a spy, gaining information which probably saved the Union army from destruction. He was afterward captured and tent to Libby prison, and paroled. Ho broke his parole, re-enlisted, deserted, and committed a bur glary, and is back in his old quarters again, with twelve more years to serve. A Venerable Rosebush. At Hildes heim Cathedral there is a rosebush which is believed to be over a thousand years old. In recent years it seems to have been getting into descrepitude, and fears have been entertained that it was going to die. The help of the most reribwned gardeners has been called in to prevent this, if possible, and several foreigners have been on the spot for this purpose. Whether it be due to their endeavors or not, the old thing seems to have taken fresh heart again. Out of the root knobs of the bush a new sprout has appeared which is growing so vigorously that there is good hope that this venerable rose stock may vet "re new its youth."

The continual shrinkage in values has been going on in this country for two years at least, and somebody most be hurt by the enor mous decline in goods within that time, and have none been benefited by having nearly. all commodities at such greatly reduced rates? The actual necessaries of life have not of course suffered in comparison with what might be termrd luxuries or dispensible comforts. Dia monds were never as low as at present and dry goods are actually less than they were before the war. While unaccountably labor is much MgW, and still with tho admitted advance in the price of labor, workmen rind it more diffi cult to get along now than thoy did then. We are informed that the California Furniture Manufacturing Company have reduced their prices almost one-half on certain kinds of goods, and we are glad to know that a great many are taking advantage of the favorable opportunity to supply themselves. So tho old adage holds good that there are no large lasses without some small gains. The above company occupy two of the largest stores in the city of San Fran cisco, viz: 224 and 226 Bush street, four stories, and 649 and 651 Market street, six stories, where maybe found everything in the line of furniture.

In past vears the Soup busliifts on this coast has been conducted In a wiiy which attacned more Importance to large manufacturing profits than to honest weight and irooil quality, ren dering corn petition in the Soap trade little less than a rivalry In KASCAIilTY. Boxes containing less than eleven pounds of worse than worthless trash, are boldly marked and sold an "SO Buri-lt found k." and wretched combi nation of caustic soda and putrid grease, taken from he diseased carcases of dead animals are uiiblush ingly pressed upon the trade and the people as "the b-st family soaps," and to supply the dlicleucy re Milllnif from incompetence and the us of r-fUK materials, mineral substances of the most hurtful character are added, and whiiesucb Mild nmy, after a fashion, supply the place of EEAIi SOAP, It does so at the expense of the fabrics, kandii und health of those who use suck compounds. Medical men tell us that the skin is a powerful ab sorbent, and poisonous compounds in soaps have been known to spread from Hie hatidt over the eu tire body. Just a a t.uch of poison oalc In one place will be carried from head to foot of the person poi soned, and many women who MirTer constantly from a dry, burring skin, aud who find their per sonal appearance disligured by discoloration, will frequently find the pred'sposlng cause of their mis fortune in the compounds which are made to sup- pi v the place or i ft U K hOAl" lor Jaunury. Kitcueii, bath aud other household purposes. THINK OF IT. Think of tender Infants, children and delicate w- men being constantly swathed in garments, every thread of which is permeated with the putrid poi sons of diseased fat and dangerous mineral hub static, s, which are taken up by perspiration and b-f-orl. d into the hkm and circulation, endangering lien it and the very life of alt!

The very fact of soaps possessing tle so-called magical qualities. Is conclusive evidence that thev con tain substances which are Injurious to clothing and dangerous to health, and should fie avoided uuder all circumstances.
