The present yearwehave given several illustra-

 With one more number we shall close tbe series.

 appearance of tbe Turkish m/ldur, the primitive 



Ktyle of Spinning, htill <•• u among the Arabs, 



and the Water Skim, or Bottles, to which allusion 

 is so frequently made in the Bible. 



M« Jonvsos says, "the use of these still pre- 

 vails extensively throughout the East, and allbo' 

 earthen jugs are also used, the former are greatly 

 preferred, and much more common. Tbey are 

 made of the skin of a goat or a sbeep, and are so 

 slightly mutilated by preparation for use, thai 

 they retain almost tbe exact shape of tlie animal 

 from which they were made. They are hung on 

 the back of a donkey, or more frequently a woman, 

 and, baviDg been tilled with water, thousands are 

 carried daily to the city. Abraham provided 

 Hagar with a bottle of water on sending ber to tbe 

 desert; but, properly rendered, might it not be 

 water-skin f They arc sometimes regularly tanned 

 into leather. This was no doubt the material of 

 tbe wine-bottles of tbe Gibeonitish spies, who 

 'did work wilily, and went and made as if they 

 had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon 

 their asses, and wine-bottles old and rent, bound 

 up.' These bottles, from constant use, become

 The usual method of drawing water is with a ju 

 or leathern bucket, let down by a rope tied to n 

 mouth ; and when the well has been long in us 

 deep incisions are made by theropeiu the topmoi 

 lying stones. This method was no doubt rcferrt 

 to by tbe woman at the Well of Samaria, when 

 Bhe said, 'The well is deep, and I have nothing 

 to draw with.' It is also seen from Gen. jc

WEVE B'S CAVE. -NO. EH. 



Descending, a flight of steps, we enter Washing- 

 on Hall, the largest and most regular apartment 

 a the cave. We turn aside, however, at the 

 ntrance, to visit the Theatre, a room in which 

 be walls are thought to resemble a stage, pit 

 nd gallery. A small room at tbe side is called 

 he Green Room. Returning to tbe Hall our 

 ttention is called to the beautiful mosses of spar 

 nd crystals which stud the roof and walls, and 

 o the formations which are scattered about in 

 very variety of grouping. A group of three

A (irkat aim in family discipline should be to 

 provide for each of the juveniles some line ot 

 pursuit which will give them a sense of tbeir 

 usefulness and necessity to the household. This 

 feeling properly instilled into iheir minds will 

 make them members of society valuable to others 

 and happy in themselves. The Creator, who 

 makes nothing in vain, does not in vain send 

 human beings into tbe world if only they would 

 find their places and fill them- Idle men and 

 women are the bane of any community. They 

 are not simply clogs upon society, but become, 

 sooner or later, the causes of IU crime and poverty, 

 its folly and extravagance. In plain old English, 

 every family motto should reud :— " Be somebody ;

CELERY, KOBX-RABI, PEARS, &c. 



Asparagus may be transplanted, and beds formed 

 either in the autumn or spring, and Rhubarb the 

 same, though we would prefer tbe fall for either, 

 when convenient. Celery may be earthed up a 

 little, sufficient to keep the leaves erect after tbey 



for blanching should not be done until the latter 

 part of September or the beginning of October. 

 Celery plants kept over the winter are worthless. 

 Cauliflower seed is obtained just like cabbage 

 seed. Plants that have not headed may bo placed 

 in the cellar before heavy frost, the roots in u little 

 earth, and maoy of them will grow good heads. 

 Kohl-robi seed should be sown early in a nice bed, 

 like cabbage seed, and transplanted to tbe field or 

 garden when about six inches in height. The 

 Apple Melon seed, we judge, can now be obtained 

 of most of the seedsmen at moderate prices. 

 Prairie soil, as a general thing, needs draining, 

 and if a little clay could be udded all tbe better. 

 Plant in a high and dry location. Among the 

 hardiest pears for the West, are Flemish Beauty, 

 Buffum, Columbia, Dix, Winter Nelis, Fulton, 

 Lawrence, Osband'a Summer, Oswego Bcurre, 

 Stevens' Genesee, and Onondaga.
