Teiin. ; ; to llic lace nnd L tah ; ALMANAC TIME IS LOCAL TIME. Sun time is, necessarily, the standard for Almanac calculations, because it gives, by a few chosen parallels of latitude, proper figures for all places on such lines — the march of the sun westward bringing the same hour regularly to each place to meet the phenomena. Any almanac calculations based on " railroad " time would have to bo changed for every mile, east or west, and would create absurd confusion , even if practicable. When the difference between the "standard " and local time is known, there is no trouble in adding to or taking so much from the almanac time, to bring it to " standard." Almanacs and almanac time are more than ever before necessary, on account of this change of timr for ordinary purposes of daily life.

F. Brittany was settled by an- cient Britons fleeing from '"^ • Saxon invaders ofGrciit Hrit&in, and about the filth centui y tliej' formed the bulk of the popula- tion and gave the name to the province, formerly known as .\rmorica. Though rudely as- sailed, Brittany long maintained its independence, and not until the sixteenth century was it in- corporated with France. In dress, manners and customs the Bretons to this day show their origin ; and their language is not French, but a patois so nearly resembling- the Celtic that Cel- tic-speaking Welshmen find lit- tle diniculty in conversing with them. Our illustration shows an old Breton castle, Mount Jar- din, which in its plain, massivi: strength is in strong contrast with the lavish ornaraentatinn of later architecture in France. -i ^'w-'^Kli^''* Lied by an- ;; from ''^• cat Kril&iii, •ntuiy tliej' he jiopula- ann; to the known as rudely as- maintained d not until f was it in- rance.

When memory ponders on each boyish scene, Broken seems almost every tie that links That day to this — and to the child the man ; The world is altered quite in all its thoughts, In all its works and ways its sights and sounds ; With the same name it is another sphere, And by another race inhabited. The old familiar dwelliiigs, with their trees ("oeval, mouldering wall, and ilove-cote rent-^ Tlie old familiar faces from the streets, One after one, have now all disanpear'd. And sober sires are they who tlien were sons, Giddy and gay • — a generation new Dwells where they dwelt —whose tongues are silent quite — M'hose bodily forms are reminiscences Kading : — the leaden talisman of Truth Hath ilisenchanted of its rainbow hues The sky, and robbed the fields of half their bloom. Boys are boys, ajid not little men. \ They are all alike, except as to the color of the hair or pinafore. They all inherit the same pride, tlie same " devil-may- care " ambition, the same spirit of mis- I chief, and the same freemasonry of mutual . confidence in all affairs relating to the government of the boy-world. Where is the boy who is willing to be outdone by [;; a playmate ? Where is the boy who will acknowledge to have been beaten in a figl'.t with one of another school ? A\'herever such a one is to be found guaul him well, for fear he should grow up silly. It is p sitively astonishing what hair- breailth adventures boys engage in, merely to gratify some pritle of rivalry, or to satisfy the eternal longing of a boy "to do something." In fact, there is nothing within the range of possibility which a boy will not do, provided there is no unmistakable criminality.— ///^/)- CO 2 5 Noon. Wasli'toii M. Time. 0) Ul 0) CC/) 3 CO II.

Wise. was the fore- thought of the philosophic statesman in selecting Albe- ir.arle as the site of that institu- tion of learning of which, next to the Declaration of Independ- ence, he was most proud— poetic the faculty which prompted him to build the house of his fame amid scenery that is lovely even to fascination. The Linnvii.le River, in western North Carolina, being formed by mountain torrents, becomes a considerable stream at its source. The scenery is of the grandest and wildest beauty. The banks rise almost perpendicularly. The rocks are very grand in form and color. Wherever there is earth enough to support a root, everything is clothed with dark foliage, and in the springtime the locality is like fairyland. 4th Mo • APRIL. 30 days. >. ^ >.

The minia- ture river, in its course of a iiundred miles through the nu- merous outlying mountains, has apparently overcome the obsta- cles in its way by strategy as well as by power. At many .places it has dashed boldly against the wall before it and torn it asunder ; at others it winds tortuously around the obstruction — creeping stealth- ily through secret valleys and seclude J glens. At some points the mountains appear to have retired from the attacking cur- rent, leaving numerous isolated hills standing, as sentinels, to watch its progress. But the severed mountains, the tower- ing embankments, and the sen- tinel-like hills, are all toned into form nnd moulded into shape by the action of the elements and the foliage of nature, leav- ing no abrupt precipices ar.d V o « 1- .

At the time Blanford was set- tled it was far in advance of the city^which has now grown around it and taken it in. It is supj)Osed to have taken its name from the fan.ily of Ulands who owned much ot the property in and around the town. Con- cerning the old church, we trace its history back as far as 1720. It is and has been used for years only for funeral services of those who are buried around it. The trains of the Norfolk and West- ern Railroad pass almost under its ivy grown walls.

WiLLiAMSPORT is, With a sin- gle exception, the most import- ant business place on the Sus- quehanna River, and justly takes rank among the first in- land cities of Pennsylvania. It was laid out in 1795 by Michael Ross, a German, who owned the land upon which the original town was built, and was adopted as the county seat at the time of the organization of Lycoming County. The plan of the town was well designed, embracing wide, straight streets, and gen- erous donations of land were made by Mr. Ross for public purposes. This liberality con- tributed materially to its early prosperity, and has caused it to develop into a city of unsur- passed attmctiveness. From time to time additions have been made to the original plan, until the space surveyed by Mr. Ross forms but a small portion of the present area of the city. A spirit of enterprise has, from its foundation, characterized it, and stagnation has never been permitted to tind a resting-place within its limits. For many years VVilliamsport has had more than a State reputation, 10th Mo, OCTOBER. 3i aays. >> .- >• >■. (n at to f-* c «• c > c Q 5 Q) Q Wash' ton M. Time. c — I/) H. M. 0.!? CO. ^ 5°- II. M. S.

Every requisite of city comfort and convenience has been brought into use. An abundant supply of the purest and best water is brought from mountain springs ; gas is liberally used fo' public and private purposes ; many of its prin- cipal streets are paved with wood, afford- ing delightful drives ; street railways are in operation ; and to these may be added wtU-stocked markets, superior facilities for intercourse with the surrounding country, and lovely scenery, all com- bining to make it a delightful place of residence or sojourn. The early settlers of tliis region — as was the case generally throughout the- Susquehanna Valley — were principally Scotch-Irish, and the distinguishing pecu- liarities of that people — courage, enter- prise, and determination — have marked the history of the region. The influx of settlers, after the treaty of Fort Stanwix, gave the proprietary government some trouble because of the desire evinced by the authorities to prevent encroachment upon the Indian lands. It being a ques- tion whether the stream mentioned in the treaty by the Indian title of Tt'u- daghton was Lycoming Creek or Pine Creek, the proprietaries had prohibited any surveys being made north of Ly- ^^^: ON THE SUSQUEHANNA, NEAR WILLI AMSPORT. — Schell coming Creek.

From their decision there was no appeal. The judgment was enforced by the whole coni- miiuity, who started up e)i masse at the mandate of the court, and e.\ecution and evic- tion were sudden and irresisti- ble.

Lewes, in his " Life and Works of Goethe," jiives a graphic and concise de- scription of " I'^aust," which acconnls for its almost unexamiiled popwlarity. He says: "It appeals to all minds with the irresistible fascination ol an elernal prob- lem, and with tin- chitini <•( endless variety. It has every element: wii, pathos, wisdom, force, mystery, mcloilv, reverence, dotd)t, magic and irony; imi a chord of the lyre is unstrung, not a IjIhc of the heart untouched.

It has been well brought out by tin' genius of this artist.

Around ('hattanooga, now recognized as one of the growing cities of America, thicker even than historic reminiscences, are chistered the gems of Nature's pic- ture gallery. From the most quiet pas- toral beauty it is but a turn to the impressive and sublime. Slippery Rock Brook dashes its way down the sides of Lookout Mountain, which are by no means the least interesting portion to the tourist, cut up as they are by ravines and dells, through which flow these silver waters, giving an almost pri:,ieval soli- tude within sound of the whistle and rumble of the railway trains.

The United States Richer than Great Britain. —Statisticians have pro- nounced the United States to be not only potentially, but uctuallv', richerthan the United Kingdom. Counting the houses, furniture, manufactures, laii- ways, shipping, bullion, lands, cattle, crops, investments, and roads, it is esti- mated tha there is a grand total in the United States of $49,770,000,000. Great Britain is credited witli something less than $40,000, cKX),ooo, or nearly $10,000.- 000,000 less than the United States. The wealth per inhabitant in Great Britain is estimated at ?i,i6o, and in the United States at $995. With regard to the remu- neration of labof, assuming the prod\ice of labor to be kxj, in Great Britain 5" parts go to the laborer, 21 to capital and 23 to Government. In I*"rance 41 parts go to labor. 36 to capital anil 23 to Government. In the United States 72 parts go to labor, 23 to capital and 5 to Government. — London Times.

The extremes of civilization and bar- barism are nearer lo!;ctiier in those countries wiiieli the Spaniards have wrested from their native inhabitants tiian in any other portion of the globe.

They hold their own before the descendants of tlic conquistadorcs^ who concjuercd the New Worlil onlj' to be conquered by it. Out of Spain the Span- ianl deteriorates, and nowhere so much as in South America, Of course, he is superior thee to the best of the Indian tril)es with which he is thrown in con- lact ; but we doubt whether he is superior to the intelligent, but forgotten, races which peopled the regions around him ■centuries before Pizzaro set foot therein, and which built enormous cities whose ruins have long been overgrown by forests. T,o compare the Spaniard of to- day in Peru with its ancient Incas is to do him no honor. To be sure, he is a good Catiiolic, which the Incas were not, but he is indolent, enervated, and en- slaved by his own passions. His religion has not done much for him — at least in this world, whatever it may do in the next. It has done still le<^s, if that be possible, for the aboriginal Peruvians. Among the utrstizos, half-castes, of white and Indian origin the women are often very beautiful, especially when the blood of the latter prevrtils. They are, we are told, the best-lojking of all the Peruvian women. p;(Ssessing brillianlly fair complexions, magnificent long, black tresses, lithe and p.raceful figures of ex- quisite proportions, regular and classic features, and tiie most superb great blnck eyes. Though often glorious in j'outh these dark-skinned, passionate daughters of the sunny Pacific shore soon begin to fade. Although their scant costume and the ittanto y saya — the dress favored :it night — serve only to expose and display the charming contour of their youthful form, as the years roll on and rob fhein of these alluring attractions, the simple array becomes ugly and ridiculous.

Chinkrk Sciknce. — From ancient times tiie Chinese have taken note of natural phenomena. Their record of solar eclipses is i)erhaps the most ancient and accurate in the world. They have more or less elaborate work" on astron- omy, mathematics, botany, zoology, mineralogy, physiolop:y, and many other sciences. Yet there is scarcely any true science in tbem. CMassification, even in regard to plants and animals, there is nor.e. Mineralogy is mainly a description of curious stones. Nor is there any progress, for the more ancient works are gencrallv the best, and as a consequence the Chinese to-(lay are as their fathers were thousands of years ago. The superstitions res|>ecting na- tural phenomena, which are as living active truths to-day for all classes in China, remind us father of man in his state of barbarism than of the ancient culture and civilization of the Middle Kingdom. The sun and moon are to the Chinese as they were to primitive man, living things, gods to be worshipped. The stars in their courses powerfully in- fluence, if they do not absolutely deter- mine, all human events. In them the wise may read as in a book the destiny of man and the fate of empires. Their combinations make lucky and unlucky days, and we shall do well to note care- fully their signs and silent warnings. Comets are the precursors of famine, pestilence, and war— prognosticators of the wreck of empires and the fall of ki:igs. Eclipses are the periodic efforts of the dragon ticnd to destroy tiie li^ihts of heaven, and every notice of an aiiproachiiig eclipse sent by the imperial astronomer to the provinces is accom- panied by a government order to em- ploy the usual methods of gong-bcatiiig and so forth in order to rescue the threatened luminary. Again, timnder is the roar of the anger of heaven, and to be smitten by a thunderbolt is to be marked as a thing accursed. Wind is born in the heart of great mountains, whence it issues at the command of the wind god. Most districts have their wind mountains. That at Lung-Shan, in the northern Province of Chihli, is the most remarkable. It has a cave at each of its four sides. The .spring wind issues from the cave on the eastern side, the summer wind from the southern, and so for the others. Wind eddies or whirl- winds are raised by the hedgehog in his rapid passage from one place to another, the dust serving to screen him from the vulgar gaze. Rain is produced by the dragon god, who carries up vast quanti- ties of water from the lakes and rivers in his capacious jaws, and pours it down in showers over the earth. Every moun- tain has its spirit or genii'S, every valley its nymph, every sprii g its nai;id. Hence mountains and rivers, old trees and turious rocks, j^ecomc objects of worship. — Nature. The cellars under Philadelphia's new Citv Hall are the largest in .America, their area being 4>^ acres. The hrst cel- lar is thirteen feet deep, and the cellar under that is of like depth. WATER DRINKING. In Massacliusettsaiid Connecticut laws to restrain intemperance .vere passed as early as 1639. About 1760 the diiirchcs began to ol)ject to the use of liquors at lunerals. A temperance society was in- a\igurated at Litciifield, Conn., in 1789, the members pledging themselves " not to use any distilled liijuor in doing their farm work the ensuing season." The Methodist Church in America has from the first taken strong ground against the sale and use of intoxicating beverages. Total abstinence .v as advocated as early as 1820, but was not adopted as a neces- sary condition by temperance societies until many years later. Many of the earlier advocates of temperance encour- aged the culture of the grape and the use of wine ns a|)reventive of intemperance. In Hoston the eaily reformers built a brewery for the benefit of r.iembers of the tem- pu-ranc', society. l'"ather Matliew, the most si'c- cessful Irish advocate of '.olal abstinence, inaugu- rated his first society in Tfl38, and in two years it had a membership of T, 800,000. In tiiree years — from 1838 to 1841 — the con- sumptior of w'iisky in Ire- land fell from i2,5(X3,ooo to ('1,500,000 gal- lons. In 1843, live years from the inaugura- tion of tiiis w o n d e r f ul moral revolu- tion, 5,000,000 persons in the United King- dom were thus enrolled a n d I>1 edged to a total absti- nence. In this ycnr F.ather Mutlicv.' visit- ed i.ondon in person, and ad- ministered his pledge toabout 70,(^00 persons within six weeks. In our motlern i^olitical economy nothing except the air we breathe is so free as water. Every community Invests liber- ally to secure the largest and purest pos- sible supplj' of this prime necessary, anil even prudent precaution to prevent use- less waste meets with no favor at the hands of the taxpayers themselves. If ]iure water is a great blessing, on the other hand nothing is more liable to con- tamination, and when tainted it becomes a most effective agent of disease and death. The greatest care should be taken that no slojis or surface drainage be allowed to pollute the drinking water. A very little care on this point would save a world of jiain, and numy family circles would be unbroken \vho now have sad memories of diphtheria and typhoid. ^ M^ i Thk well-known canary bird is a mem- ber of the extensive fii.ch family, a native of the Canary Islands, but naturalized ni Europe and the United States.

In the midst of a grove of about 150 acres of fine old trees, pine, spruce, cypress, and most majestic old live oaks, is situated the Del Monte, a seaside hotel of most charming architecture and luxu- rious comfort. Here the merchant and professional man from the great cities of the East find relief from the cares of busi- ness; here the invalid obtains the re- quired rest and change of air to recruit his health. The European tourist, thou- sands of miles from his home, exists here in all the luxury he is accustomed to enjoy. And here coir.;.-* every week a great portion of the population of San Francisco, brought by fast trains, because the place is created and owned by the great railroads. California is so accessible nowadays that the journey thither is a very '••Itling Central Pacitic Railroad and its adjunct, the Southern I^acific, it was, indeed, a serious task.

How Wooden Spools are Madk. — The birch is first sawed into slicks 4 or 5 feet long and % inch to 3 inches square, pccording to the size of the spool to be produced. These sticks are thoroughly seasoned. They are sawed into short blocks, and the blocks are dried in a hot- air kiln. At the time they are sawed a hole i5 Dored through them. One whirl of the little block against the sharp knives, shaped by a pattern, makes the spool at the rate of one a second. A small boy feeds the spool-machine, sim- ply placing the blocks in a spout and throwing out the knotty or defective stock. The machine is autoinatic, but cannot do the sorting. The spools are revolved rapidly in drums, and polish themselves. For some nurposes they arc dyed yellow, red, or black. They are made ni thousands of shapes ami sizes. When one sees on a spool of thread " loo' yards" or "200 yards,'' these words do nut signify that the thread has been measured, but that the spool has been gSuged and is supposed to contain so much thread. Wnen a silk or linen or cotton firm wants a spool made, it sends a pattern to the spoolmaker. This pattern gives the size and shape of the barrel and the hexd and bevel. One factory in Maine turns out a hundred thousand gross of spools a day. Thk first steel pen wsis made in 1830. THE DEER'S. PARADISE. — Beckmann.
