There is in Bangor an ancient drug Store which for over forty years has been the headquarters of the farmers trading in that city, says the Lewiston (Me.) ’ journal. There they go for goods, to leave the whips, robes and bundles, to loaf away the evenings when ‘ down on the jury,” and when in search of information. Into it the other day there walked a sturdy yeo man, his bronzed face and hard, horny hands telling of exposure to the weather and of days of hard toil. His clothing was of good, honest material, and on his feet were solid cowhide boots. Waiking up to the proprietor of the store he inquired for Lawyer Blank. Now the man from the farm had such an honest face, such an innocent expression, that the druggist, knowing the man sought for to be a “ sharper” — in fact not a real lawyer at all— de parted from his rule of minding his own business and asked the farmer what he wanted of the lawyer. In few words the story was told. It seems the man had worked hard all his days, had bought and paid for a $ 1,200 farm, had taken a wife, fur nished a house, and now, envious of some of his neighbors, wanted to build a $300 barn. T o do this, he proposed to borrow the cash, giving a mort gage of his farm. Said the druggist, after the story was told: “ Your farm is clear now ?” ‘'Yes, sir.” “ You love your wife ?” “ Yes, sir.” “W ell,” said the merchant, “ this is what you should do”. Go home and earn the three hundred dollars first and then build your barn. If you borrow now, you will think each night ■ you lie on your bed that you are in bt. You will fret and worry ; your lung wife will do the same; sickness d accidents may come or a poor crop be your portion ; there will be a three hundred dollar skeleton in your se, and, ten to one, you will fret and grow peevish and have a row with your wife. Don’t go into the mort- ;e business ? Don’t go into debt! 'Q within your income, be industri- i, and when you do build your barn I own it, \ ou will be as proud of it in Englishman is of his castle.” For a moment the young farmer hesitated. On each side were inter ested spectators, and all was silent. Gradually the head lowered, and a tear rolled down the cheek. Though only a tilhr ot the soil, the man took pride in his occupation, and wanted that barn. At last he sa>d ; “ Thank you, sir. T o tell you the truth, sir, my wife was a-crying when I left home because I was going to irtgage the place. I’ll take your advice and go home as I came down, and she’ll be glad to see me, you b e t!” “There,” said the Bangor man ; “that fellow came to a good, wise conclusion. I have seen lots of mis ery on account of this mortgage business. He who gives one often gives peace, comfort and contentment with it.” KO MAN’S LAND. A liCkson in Wiiilcd States dcORraphy Not Found in Ibe School Xext BooRs. From the Boston Aavertlser. South of Kansas and Colorado and between the Indian Territory and New Mexico lies a strip of country which for many years has been known as No Man’s Land. It ia so called, with a certain fitness, because, owing errors in surveys and the determina tion of boundary lines and inadvertent exclusions in organic acts of Congress, it is not included in any State or Ter ritory of the United States, although lying wholly within the national limits. It is no man’s land also, inasmuch as there are no rights of individual ownership to any portion of it. Con gress has never authorized the sale of any lands lying within it, and although there are thousands of settlers upon- it, not one has any title to his farm or ranche. No courts have any jurisdic tion over it and there are no binding laws governing its local administration. Every settler within it knows that he cannot be called to account by any authorized court for crime, and that he is exposed to all the perils flowing from the condition of anarchy. Yet it is said that there are now nearly 10,000 immigrants and their children within its borders. For the track is a fair and fertile land, 167 miles long and 34^ miles wide, con taining 3,687,360 acres, or three-fourths many as our own State of Massa chusetts. It is well watered and not only adapted to tillage and pasturage but containing, as is reported, valua ble deposits of coal. Within the past two years the influx of immigrants has been extraordinary, raising the num bers of the population from a few hundred to thousands, and making the need of organization and government an immediate practical necessity. For from widely scattered ranche huts of cattlemen there have been built up 3 of dwellings and at several points towns ranging in population from 50 to 400. Until November, 1886, individual squatter sovereignty was the only basi-i for law, every man’s will being a law sufficient unto himself; but in that mouth a petition was circulated calliug for a mass meeting in Beaver, the largest town in the tract, to take steps for the formation of a legislative coun cil or assembly. At this meeting it I voted to call an election on the of February last for the seJectioD of nine members to constitute a coun cil, three being chosen from each meridian district, to meet at Beaver on SENSIBLE EDUCATION. many- » Boy’ti Life. ITIaUe a Fallnre hy a Syaiem o f F a lse Xralnlnjr* W hy is it that we do not exhibit as much sense in educating our children as we do in training our animals ? A farmer has a colt and a boy. He studies that colt carefully. He notes the points in his physical construction, his disposition and temperament and he can readily decide whether it is best to train him for a trotter or a plow horse. He would be soundly laughed! at if he should send a heavy built, stolid, muscular, slow-going animal to a jockey to be trained for the race course, and his judgment would be as mercilessly scored if be -I ----- i j _ h i g h - f p i r i t e d , g r a c e f u l young colt with all the points of a trotter in his make-up, and decide to make a draft horse of him. But that same man will give his son an educa tion without consideration of his me.n- tal adaptation to the course of study he is pursuing. He only knows tliat custom has prescribed certain things to be learned which is called getting an education, and if he goes through this course of training, he has got his edu cation and his duty as a parent is dis charged, The result is that boys are educated away from the work of life they are adapted to, instead of being properly prepared for what their nat ural qualifications fit them to do well. This is why the boy who would have made a successful machinist, goes through life as a poor preacher or a third-rate lawyer, and a discontented blacksmith hammers his life and ener gy out at the forge, with talents and inclinations which would have made him a successful physician.

P and been maintain, turbance The lord mayorship is doubtless a very high honor to any man, but he who wfould win it must have plenty of money. The salary of £10,000 a year is wholly inadequate to pay one-half of the expenses of the place; it is not enough for even the hospitality of the Mansion house. Besides, see here, what a demand the office makes on the physical man. The lord mayor of two years ago attended 865 times at meet ings, 130 public dinners, eighty five receptions and balls, received thirty six deputations, made 1,100 speeches, paid twenty state visits to churches, presided at thirty meetings of the courts of alderman and common coun cil, and attended eighteen sessions of the central criminal court. He re ceived, too, and answered 5,000 h t- ters. All that during the term of one year, for which the lord mayor is elected. The place is no sinecure, but then, at the end of twelfe-month, he iceives that blow from a sword in the hand of her majesty which changes a commoner into a knight. And that titulary monosyllable “Sir,” what a help, what an open sesame it is to oors closed to all below that degi-ee!

F r inon from W b icli N o n e A re P e r m itted to R e t u r n to T k e i r H o m e r . St. Petersb’arg Letter. . Russians speak the word “ fortress” with a shudder. They know what it means. To them the fortress near St. Petersburg is something more than Fortress Monroe to the people of Washington and.Baltimorc. The for tress up the Neva is a terrible prison, where offenders against the govern ment are given a court martial and punished. None are known to be ac quitted, so that no talcs come from the place. When a man or woman goes to the fortress he or she is never heard of more. A subject is sent to Siberia in exile or is shot in the pen like a pig. In any event a trip there is a journey to death, v*'/ The fortress is on a little island and can only be reached by a boat None but officers of the empire, with special permission to do so, are allowed to approach it. A number of strangers, out fishing or rowing, and not knowing what the fortress was, have lost their lives in attempting to land there. On the walls surrounding it are ever sen tinels—guards who have instruction to shoot down without question or warning all who approach without authority. When the nature of the place is known and the uses of it un derstood, the purposes of this arsenal arc seen. All suspects—every one known to be plotting or woikii against the crown, or any of the if perial subjects—are taken here f examination and execution, and many are never heard of who are tak en here that efforts are continually made to destroy the fortress or rescue some one in i t ; and since those who are taken to it are, in the eyes of the Czar, the rankest criminals, great efforts must be put forth to keep intruders away. It is said the water.s about it are often crimson with human blood. From the fortress thousands of human souls have taken flight every year since it was constructed, and tens of thousands of sentences have been pronounced against exiles, or those who are destined to exile. It is a sober looking structure, and sunk half way into the water. Originally it was intended as a dtfense in war, but now it is the scene of the expiation of crime against the crown. There is no crime punishable by death, except against the crown. A man may murder a whole household of peop'e in cold blood and escape^ with but a five year sentence ; but if he criticises the government, the Czar, a member of hi.s family, or an officer, he is shot at the fortress or exiled to Siberia—the same if he advo cates free government, franchise, a constitution, or public schools. Almost every day men and women are taken from the shops or their homes and carried in the direction of the fortress. No one knows what they have done amiss. If they have offended the government they are exilea; if they have injured the cause of the government they are shot. The examinations are conducted secretly. Not only is the subject not permitted to make a defense, but his friends are not advised of his arrest, charge or .sentence. And the crown takes de light in making punishment of his offenders as swift, stern and extreme as possible, that the tread toward nihil ism may be checked. But it doesn’t seem to check it. A Russian never looks up the Neva from St. Pecersj^rg but that he thinks of ihe fortress, and he never thinks of the fortress with out shuddering. magnilfying to the •portions of a tornado, certain the West has come to have Cyclones and Blizzards. Cold lacta About There are no words in the Euglisli language more persistently overworked and misinterpreted than “cyclone” and “blizzard,” says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Fitting in with the universal desire for sensationalism and the dis position to accommodate it by hypt bole, each-of these words in its season cornea to be so overloaded with work that, to ono-balf the people, it conveys no impression at all, and, to the other, one distinctly and wrongfully exagger ated. We understand how, by this li of every little wind storm territory a reputation that it doss not deserve, and to possess to the non-resident ter rors which its own inhabitants never imagined. Through the same circle of inflammation, the word “blizzard” is on its travels, helping to confirm, in the minds of those who still believe that the Great American Desert covers a great part of Dakota, an equally firm conviction that the Northwest in winter is storm swept fay winter gales before which no animal alive can stand. Of all the people familiar with the word “blizzard,” probably not one in a thousand ever saw any thing remotely resembling the thing which the word was coined to describe. In the ab sence of lexicographic authority, the definition of the term is best supplied by personal experience. A blizzard means something as nearly as possible like the sand storm of the desert, with pulverized ice in pulverized ice in place of sand, and a tempeniturc as many degrees below freezing as the other marks above. Iis accompaniments are perfectly well defined. They are a very low temperature, never in the genuine blizzard rising above the zero point; a tremendous wind velocity, equal to that of the most violent gales of the stormy season at sea; and the filling of the air with needle points of ice, which blind the eyes and cut and sting like miniature arrows wherever they strike. This is the storm which benumbs, bewilders and destroys life in its path. It has been felt in rare instances by the settlers ou the tree less plains of the North. It stems rather singularly, to occur less fre quently as population and cultivation increase. There are comparatively few people in Minnesota who have ever had personal acquaintance with it, in deed, to-day it is much rarer than a cyclone, as it is infinitely less to be dreaded ; since there is some warning of its approach, and it is harmless to those who have found shelter. There will probably be blizzards in the North west in the future, as there will be earthquakes in New Y o ik; the one just about as frequent, and with the increase of settlement, about as dan gerous as the other Not only, how ever, is it an abuse of language to use the word of even the severest s A fODGOTTES CONVICT. Says a Kingston, (N. Y.) dispatch; An effort is being made to procure a pardon for William Willis, wbo has been imprisoned in the Clinton State Prison for twenty one years for mur der, and who will, unless the Governor interferes, have to spend the remainder of his days there. Since bis entrance to the prison he bad not been visited by a single relative or friend up to a few days ago, and never sent or re ceived a message of any kind. The visitor who went to see him was a nephew from Illinois, who is doing all he can to procure his relative’s release. Although many who could have re called the oircumBtances of the crime for which Willie was sentenced to be hanged and afterward reprieved and sent to prison are long since dead, many old residents of this vicinity press themselves as believing that Willis has bvjcn sufficiently punished for the murder, which had many ex tenuating circumstances. Willis was a veteran of the late war. He was a young blacksmith in Ellen- ville before he went to help settle the great question, and was engaged to be married to Jane Conyes, of Napanoek, N. Y., near here. During the struggle the young people corresponded with each other, and letters produced at the trial showed that Ihe young woman still made Willis believe that she was true to him and waiting hia return. He came home to find th'.a she had been two years married, had a little child, and had used the money he had send her to enrich another man’s home. This blow t , man who had tried to live for the of his promised wife was sufficient to arouse the most in tense indignation and rage in Wil lis’ heart. While still excited after hearing the news of her perfidy Willis went to the houie of the woman, told her who he was and, snatching a carv ing knive from the table, stabbed her to the heart. H e then cu t her throat and, stabbed the body fifty or sixty times. Willis went to the village where the husband worked, told him of what be had done, and surrendered himself up to the authorities. He was in K ingston jail, and a t the BIG SALARIES. There are a score of men in New York who are paid as much for their services each year as the President of the United States. Forty thousand dollars a year is a very tidy salary. There are hundreds of men who get $25,000 a year salary and the number who get from $10,000 to $20,000 are legion. Very ordinary men get from $5,000 to $8,000 a year, or as much as a Cabinet officer. Dr. Norvin Greene, president of the Western Union Tele graph Company, is paid $50,000. So is Ohatincey M. Depew, president of the New York Central Bailrpad. Bicherd M. McCurdy, president of the Mutual Life InBurance Company, gets a like amount. John Hoey, president of. Adams Express Company fares equally as well. President B. Hyde, of the Equitable Life Insurance Com pany, is also in the list. George G. Williams, president of the Chemical National Bank, the richest banking in stitution in America, with nearly $5,- 000,000 of surplus, $20,000,000 aver age deposits, is paid a salary of $25,- 000 yearly. President Potts, of the Park Bank, and President Tappan, of the Gallatin National Bank, receive a like sum each twelve months. The best paid minister in New York is Dr. John Hall, a brainy man from the north of Ireland, who preaches to ^20,000,000 every Sunday. Hia is the smallest church in town. He owes hia rise iu life to Robert Bonner, of the Ledger., who found him preaching to a small congregation in Dublin and induced him to come to America.

Many a man ruins the peace of his household forever by neglecting to speak the word of praise which his hungry-hearted wife has yearned all day to hear, and bestowing it on some chance caller or stranger, The man who fails to notice the careful toilet his wife has made for his sake, and compliments the good taste ill dress exhibited by some neighbor, sows the seed of jealousy in a disappointed heart. Woman was made to be lov ed, petted and appreciated bv man. Whatever else she may achieve in life, she feels herself cheated out of her birthright -unless this happiness has come to her. She is jealoi whatever and whoever may stand be tween her and that desired joy. I have known two mothers who were jealous of their own children. Un natural and terrible as this may seem, i felt the greatest sympathy for both women. In each case the husband utterly ignored the wife for her off spring. She was a secondary consid eration, neglected and rebuked where the chi'dren were caressed ond appre- itrlve for these 1 lei where \all tongues brearhe out that en vied, that delicious dissyllable “Lady I ’ intombed -Ulla fVhetUr Wilcox. The True Wile. Oftimes I have seen a tall ship glide by against the tide as if drawn by some invisible towline with a hundred Strong arms pulling it.

But I knew that on the other side of the ship, hidden ben“ath the great bulk that swam so majestically, there was a little toilsome steam tug, with a heart o f fire and arms ol iron, that was tugging it bravely on, and I knew that it the little steam tug un twined her arm and left the ship, it would wallow and roll about, and drift hither and thither, and go off with the refluent tide, no man knows whither.

Cream is the fatty portion of the milk which rises to the top when the milk stands at rest. The difference in the specific gravity of cream and milk necessarily causes this separation ; in deed to some extenr this separation is partially made m the reservoirs of the udder, for it is a well-established fact, that the first drawn milk is less rich in cream, or fat, than that drawn at the end of the milking. The cream rises more rapidly under certain circumstances, as when the milk is set in deep pails, in cold water, at a temperature of forty-five degrees, ■when all the cream is raised through eighteen or twenty inches of milk in twelve hours, while at sixty degrees it will require thirty hours to rise com pletely through three inches of mi’k set in shallow pans. Also when the milk is diluted with water, the cream rises more quickly, because the milk becomes less adherent. The low tem perature of forty-five degrees reduces the milk to almost its maximum dens ity, which is at thirty-nine degrees ; hence the cream is comparatively lightei^ than at a higher temperature. This fact is taken advantage of in the use 6f the deep pails and low temper ature for setting milk for cream ; an innovation which has been of the greatest value in butter making. The cream raised in this manner is, how ever, more fluid, and has more milk mixed with it than that raised in shal low pans; but this is also an advan tage, because it is then in the best con dition in respect of fluidity for the 1 e\a\xtn.—JmirieaH Agriculturist, the cyclone and bl Advantages o f “Dry-Cold Air.” “Yes,” remarked the St. Paul man to a friend from Chicago as be stood arrayed in his blanket suit and adjust ed a couple of buckskin chest-protec tors ; “yes, there is something about the air in this northwestern climate which causes a person not to notice the cold.

St. Petersburg and Moscow being the principal cities, ind therefore the bone and sinew is with this cla-s> of people. Only about 5 per cent, of the peasants can read and write, and few have the ordinary instincts of man and woman. They are superstitious, ignoiant and stupid. But this is not a wonder. They have teen a free people scarcely longer.than t’ne blacks of America, as during the troublous slavery times in the United States Alexander II issued an ukase giving the white slaves of Russia freedom. They were not slaves in the sense of being owned, body and soul, by their landlords. The land which they occupied was the property of the nobility, and none were permitted, when once located on a farm, to leave it permanently or to go beyond a certain distance, even temporarily. No schools were provided for the peasants du-^inj the time of slavery, none are Pi::vide i now, and then, as at the present time, the design of the Czar influenced by the nobles, was to keep them in the densest condition of servitude and ignorance. Their earn- Working the Brain Too Little. There is a great outcry to be heard at present of the danger of overtaxing the brain, and in our restless age it doubtless is a positive danger to be guarded against in the young student no less than in the old and experienced worker, overwork often resulting in calling so much more blood to the brain than can be used there, that congestion, insanity and death result- But nothing has been said about a danger that is the very contrary of this, and that is the danger resulting to the brain from no work at all. If the one heats the brain too much, the other heats it too little; it becomes, as an unused muscle does, -flaccid and drained, and so comparatively weak and useless. It “gets along” frequent ly from force of habit; but make any unusual demand and it collapses. The brain may not at once develop its injury, as it is an affair of time, and lany people manage with so little use of this special organ that nothing is expected of them, but the breaking down is on the way all same, and es pecially if unusual thought or action is required.^ This is a danger peculiarly threatening among the rich and idle of community, who often lead sasure having jrenoe and ennui.

Advice to Mothers. If you say “ No,” mean “ No.” Unless you have a good reason for chant ing a given command, hold to it. Take an interest in your children’s amusements ; mother’s share in what pleases them is a great delight. Be honest with them in small things, as well as in great. If you cannot tell them what they wished to know, say so,' rather than deceive As long as it is possible kiss the children good night after they are in bed} they like it, and it keeps them very Close, Make your boyS and girls study physiology ; ■when they are ill, try to make them comprehend why, and how the complaint arose, the remedy, so far as you know it.

At the beginning ot the late eivil war, writes Rosa W Fry in the Atlantd Constitution, almost eveiy one who moved in a respectable circle in social life had a decent stock of indi vidual clothing, on hand. Bat as the four long years of conflict dragged themselves along, this stock became sadly and perceptibly dimuiisbed. Owing to the biookadee, and to the fact that ihe South was not a msna- factnnng section, store-goods soon be came difficult to obtain. The mer chants’ shelves soon became thinned, and goods which bad lain upon them for years back found a ready sale. Then it was that sutlers came into de mand, and their small watea were largely sought after by the female portion of the community. Fortunately we bad cotton and wool - in the raw, and factories for their manufacture into woolen and cotton cloth sprang np at every available point. Very much of their produce, however, was necessarily reserved for the uses of the army. Children and\ young people who were growing every day found it difficult to restrain them selves within the compass of half-worn and out-grown garments. The wit of woman, ever keenest in emergency, was set to work to remedy these defi ciencies, and the problem of the art of “Btretohing” was carried to its great est height. The family to which I belonged waa a family of refugees, and the firit con sideration as winter drew on was how to keep warm. Comforters made of coarse calico or old silk dresses and lined .with raw cotton were oar first achievement. Shoes came next on the list. Fortunately there was a tannery in the village, and by paying down hard money we were duly shod in stout calf-skin. Later on sbeep-skiu and alligator-skin were pressed into ser vice. At home we wore cloth shoes or crocheted slippers, fastened on to th e soles o f d i s c a r d e d sh o e s . Fancy th e a m o u n t o f c o t t o n c l o t h nC c e s s a x y to cover the nakedness of a household of eight females, three males and sev eral servants! A t first ive had resort the linen sheeting of happier days! Later on we were glad to obtain un bleached muslin, no matter how infe rior the quality. As the war went on, prices advanced frightfully, owing to the scarcity of goods and the deprecia tion of the currency. Very early in the struggle the shadow fell. A brother, the eldest born, lay with the unsheeted dead at Manassas. My first mourning wa.s very simple—a dyed merino, a black dotted calico, a black ribbon round my white, child’s hat, voila tout Ouce in-the year my father went to Richmond, 250 miles distant, and broaght home such com modities as bis slender purse could purchase; a calico dress 'apiece, may hap a woolen shawl, a little tea, sugar, coffee, rice, etc. I went throtigh the war on four calico dresses and when I close my eyes I can see those calicoes yet. They were all polka dotted, and ranged from forty-five cents a yard all the vvay up to ten dollars. As our exigencies increased two dresses were merged into one. Prior to the,war, a twin sister and myself had always dressed exactly alike. We now ex- ‘ changed, and out of two half-worn dresses evolved one whole garment. Garibaldi waists were very popular. They were made out of silk, cloth, velvet or muslin, and worn -with any kind of skirt, bright or dark as miglfl be. I remember a black velvet jacket, cut from a mantle, which was worn by- five girls in turn, and did service on many trying occasions. It figured on horseback, in the parlor, at state re ceptions—in short, everywhere. My mother sacrificed her black brocaded silk to the wants of her young daugh ters. It fashioned a Garibaldi around. Pretty suits were made out of all wool, linsey and checked cotton of do mestic weaving.. But alas! for the prospective bride in war time. To amass a trosseau was a .matter of al most superhuman effort. A friend who married in the winter of ’62 was made happy by the gift of her motheris store of table and bed linen. These were duly converted into underwear, finished off with hand embroidery. A mauve velvet bonnet and bro'svn silk, shot with gold, procured in Richmond, completed her outfit- Mourning was still more difficult to procure. A young widow who lost her husband in ’64 gave me a clany silk and figured lawn in exchange for my much worn black merino and grenadine shawl Sutlers were very popular. They always carried a stock of small wares, such as pins, needles, tape, buttons and other household, articles. Some times cotton gloves and coarse shoes. Thread was hoarded carefully. We bought it in large banks, manufactured from hemp. Pin cuabiops were r ipp^ up, and many invaluable little prickers extracted from the branny depths. Almost every article of wear was de vised by woman’s skiiltul bafids—cloth was fashioned into caps,gloves, jackets, shoes, etc.; the fleece of the sheep was in great demand; and out of the spun yarn, socks, shirts, skirts, and Other articles too numerous to meotioa were knit bjr woman’s deft kunds. X remember & lovely j&ckefc, esroteketed of dark, brown yarn, finished off with red worsted, which was as becoming to th e s l e n d e r f o r m i t e n c a s e d a s i t w a s in K .ality s n u g a n d c o m f o r ta b le . Hoods, comforters, smoking caps, sacques and shawls, knit from yarn, contributed not a little to our comfort during the winter aeason. For sum mer wear we bad straw hats of do* mestic plaiting, dyed black, varnished and made gay ’with a bright ribbon twined around the crown. We did not change onr fashions daring the war, although on one 00- oassion I recall a lady who returned from the capital sporting a hoop-ahirk about three feet in diameter. It was impossible to purchase w n ^ or cloaks, so we were forced tore- model those we bad.
