travels through the country over which
this series has carried you.
From the Pacific Tourist.
In 18“, wnen Fremom made his
famous explorations across the plains,
watch earned him so world-wide a repue

3,800 mllesin distance,entirely vacant, no
settlement, entirely occupied by roving
bands of Indians, and the undisturbed
home of the obtain and antelope. In that
year Chicago was but an obscure village
on a prairie. without a single inhabitant,
and not a single line oi railway was built
from the Atlantic westward ‘ to the .
Allegbanics.
0n the Union Pacific road the first rail
was laid in July, 1865, over a country
destitute of timber, fuel, or any material
for building. There was no railroad
communication from the east. A gap of '
140 miles existed between Omaha and
Des Moines, and over this if. was “Illa.-

While the railroad was being built, the

No effort was made to do even assessment

that the burden of. street flirtation be
placed on the shoulders of'iho'se who just

him to iuvue attention all day long if his

With these the street flirtation,'frequently

but these very girls would soon assume a

not be guilty of any crime, but they will
as certainly lose therespcct of evary one

they were. This particularly applies to
women who have reached or passed be-

“It is too absurd to suppose. Good

The stranger walked outdoors, and the
bank closed for the day. He entered a
grocery and stated that he was a dcposi
tor, and asked if the bank was sound. He
entered a dry goods store and inquired if
the hard times might not pinch the bank.
He entered a drug store and offered his
certificate for 05. He met a lawyer
and inquired if a ' receiver had been
appointed to':iook out for the interests of
the depositors. Next morning he wasnt
the door of the bank, gesticuiaflngaud
lamenting, and behind him were seventy-
five or eighty citizens. Before noon the
bank was cleaned out and its doors closed,

‘ Politeness on the Rail.
A correspondent of a Chicago paper re-
aies the following: A gentleman entered
a car at a way station, and in going down
the aisle accidentally knocked to the fioor
the hat of an uncouth, rough-looking chap
who lay in a seat with his head projecting
over the arm-rests. ,
“I beg your pardon, sir," remarked the
gentleman, politely.
_. "Yer want to be kind of carefulhow
you 'go staggering ’round," replied the ill-
natured rough as the gentleman passed
on.
“Venture. to say he never asked any
one's pardon," I said to the passeagsr
next to ma. _
“You're mistakes there," the latter re-
plied; he begged mine once, very politely
too." .
"Must have been some unusual circum-
Ilfibce.’.' . : .- ,, '
“Yes, indeed; he was in the State prison
and wanted to get out. Burl am now

Money fir Women , A
F. hi. Holland thus discourses en in
pecuniary dependt-nCe of women: "Evian

times find they cannot gel. hold of, it tjx’
cept by coaxing or leasing their husbands.
Nothing is commoner than. for a would!)
to be obliged to tell how she his spirit
what she had last. Girls’usually bravado
tease their mother into coaxing thbir'
fathers. one of, the richest memberap’f
a sneiely to which I once preached gripe
his son five dollars to spend at one of cijr
church festivals, «and let his grown-hp
daughter go there without a cent pf
money even to pay .thc entrance fen.
Many then keep their wives and dough
ters, either intentionally or thoughtless?
in such a slate of pecuniarydcpend'ed
as is simply slavery. .It. has been §u_
that the only way awomancau get any
money of her own is to become a'wido’w.
There is no doubt that many girls hurry
into teaching, acting. Iutborship, or do:
mcstic service simply, in order ‘lo‘havi‘a
money of their own which they can spend~
without being questioned annoyingly. Of?
course it is well for the members of ’a
family to consult each other about ex-
penditiires riflmportance, but U a man
to limit and question his;wife to‘ku ektea‘
he wenld not endure himself is iyrannvfi
To this let us add an interesting incident;
While viaitinga friend the other day he
was taking a little pride in showing us-
some old furniture. All at once he spoke
up, saying, “Do you see that drawer f-
Weli, ever since I was married, now
nearly forty years ago, that has been the
money drawer. Of course W900 not
keep large sums in it but the spending
money goes there. and it has always been
the common money dsawcr for my wife
and myself. ,She- never asks .me for.-
money, but helps herself to whatever she
wants, and i never askhcr what she does
with that which she Cpl-lids It is true
my wife is if wonderful woman, ten times
more saving than I am. She is sixty years
old and in perfect health. She is perhaps
the healthiest womaniu New York of
that age. She don't know what it is to
be sick. I believe it is in part due to the
fact tbs; she studies and. observes the
laws of health, but in panic the fact she
is never worried by me about the money
she spends." And then he added, “it
pays to have a healthy wife.”

Over a Hundred Odors of Marriage.
Purl-Homing News: Mlle. Daire. the -
winner of the 100.000f. lottery prize, ar-
r ved in Par a yesterday. She lmmodlatr-
iv proceeded to the ofiicc of M. Henri
Avcnel, the director of the “Arts
Decoratifs" lottery, who handed hei‘ a
check on the bank of France for 100,000f.
At her own request 11. Desvaux dc Lyf,
the registrar, took her in a cab from his
residence, No 247 Rue St. Honors. to the
once of M. Herbatilt, a well kown stock
broker, at No 5 Rue Gsillnn, where
99,000f were safely invested in French
rentes, Mlle. Dairc only retaining 1000!.
'for her personal use. * The winner is a
fresh-looking girl of eighteen. Although
much eluted by her unexpected good
fortune, her principal pleasure seems Still
to be in the knowledge that the .wlll be
able to give a handsome dowry to her
elder sister. Since the news of her stroke
of luck has been circulated for and wide,
Mlle. Daire has received no less than 100
pmprsals of marriage, the greater numfcr
of these being from people who have
never seen her facei Many of the appli-
cants send their photographs, and state
that they will devote their whole lives to
the task of making the winner happy.
No answer has been sent to any of them,
and Mlle Daire will return to Moufargis
on Monday, having seen all the sights of
Paris under lire tutelage of a distant fe.
male relative,who is engagi-d as a children’s
uum by a family living in the Rue du
Brie. In her native village the event has
created no little stir, and it is intended to
give the winner a cordial reception on her
return. .

“It was awful, awful, awful i"exclaimcd
the train hey, just as a group of ladies
were passing down the platform. "What
was that which was so awful? ,Has any,
body been killed? Has there been a
terrible catastrophe? When did the
collision take place?” Such were a few
of the questions that assailed the youth.
“'Twan't no colllssion, ladies; but it was
all'thc same." “What was it? Don’t
keep us in suspensel" “Well, you see,
ladies, a gentleman was standing here on
the platform, and just asfhe train started
he gave a jump—" "And was crushed
beneath the wheels and his mangled corpse
was arrows for miles along the track.’
“Not exactly, msrm ; but the train took
his head right ofl." Instantly the air
remanded with erLes of horror from the
feminine group. Ween the boy could
mike himself heard he remarked: ‘fI
diu't see anything horrible about it,
ladies. The train took the man's body
0! line. But he came awfully near being
left." . As the ladies turned to move on,
the words "disgusting little creature"
were borne upon the air, mingled with a
low chuckle flour the train boy's vicinity.

Mr. '1‘. Griffiths, in a paper onthomnn-
ufacture of a white pigment, stats that
in the calcination of sulphide of zinc pig-
ment, and also ' in that of the pigment
consisting of a double precipitate of ad-
phate of barium, strontium, or calcium
and sulphide of zinc access of air in pre-
judicial to the color of the product. '- He
therefore proposes not only to caicine the
bodies in question in crucibles or in closed
furnaces, butalsotofiistmix them with
fromitofipcrcent. of an ammoniaml
suit that will not easily volatilize, as
the sulphate or chloride, in order that an
artificial atmosphere may be maintained
round the material during its calcin-
tion. '
A great many horses, the North-eastern
firmer states, are sadly chased from the
fem, whims, or caprices of their drivers-
Some men are ever ready for some excuse
for putting a horse to his utmost endur-
ance. ’ But ofalltheill-treatmcnt towhich
our faithful horses are subjected there is
nothing comparibly to that received at
the hands of a drunken owner or driver,
whose character. for the timh being at.
least, if weighed by any just. measure of
intelligence 6r conduct, would be vastly
below that of the noble and Lfaithfnl uni.

Herr. L. Schultz believes that. the ap-
plication of - chloroform to the skin of
rabbits produces no reflex action of a
characteristic nature, except that there is
an oecu rence of absorption, as the symp-
toms may indicate to the skillful observer.
An application of chloral free from water-
to the skin is always followfed in’ a short
time by the symptoms of the general ac-
tion of hydrate of chloral. That the
chloral has been absorbed and changed
into chloral hydrate is proved by the
present of m-o-chloric acid in the water
from the kidneys. Solutions of hydrate
of chloral rubbed into the skin of dogs
have no action. When, says a. German
journal, the skin is rubbed or cauterized
with strong acid no reflex action is ob-
served from the central nervous system. _
The blood pressure. remains unaltered
the application of c reform, of chloral.
or of the concentrate acids of the skin.
Pipes of steel plates have come into use
lnEngiand for conveying water under high
premix-e. The plates are coated with lead
on both sides, by immersion or otherwise. ' _ ,
then rolled to form, rivitsd, soldered tho
whole length and covered with pitch. Of
this method/it is said the first coat of the
steel is not much greater than that of iron,
and the steel pipes, possess considerable
advantages over those of iron; the lead
coating is superior on account of the fine-
ness of grain in. the steel ; the resistance
to haul e stram' and internal pressure is
fifty to sixty times, and the remittance to
defamation longitudinally from thirty to
forty times greater ; while the superior
. slanticity of the steel plate permits of the
pipes receiving tolembly hard usage with-
out being permanently deformed ; for
equal thickness, too, the steel tubes stand
twice the infernal pressure of the iron, and
being both light and strong, possess pc-
culiar advantages. . ‘ .
Four years ago, says “S. W." in the
Garden, I undertook the renovation of
some old vines for a gentleman who had
just come into possession, he undertakim,r
to root the vines in fresh, with rough,
rolled glass, and provide everything il'\l
would direct operations The vines were
subjected to the usual renovatory meas—
ures, and responded to our efi‘orts in the
production' of good fruit and lieait by
growth, the two most striking thing,“
about both being the good quality of the
fruit, and especiall' y of its'color, and the
health of the foliage of the vines, which
is less affected” by red spiders than it. wsm
under the clear: glass, 1111(1le so in fact- -
than any vines I know of, although liter
housc‘is heated by a fine. The green
state of the foliage till and after the fruit
is ripe I attributed solely to the subdued
rays of the sun upon the leaves through
the rough plate glass. which obviates
the neccsm'ty of giving air, thus trying
the leaves lea than they otherwise would
be.
As thére were frequent and dangerous
explosions at a certain” stage of the manu-
facture of gunpowder at the Royal Pow-
der-works at Spandau, Prussia, - an exam-
ination of the machinery was instituted.
It was discovered that where oer-tam
bronze pieces were soldered they weio in
constant contact with the moist powder.
The solder was much corroded and in
perils entirely destroyed. In the joints
there had collected a substance which on
being scraped out with a chisel exploded
with emission of sparks. Prof. Rudolph
Weber, of the School of Technology at
Berlin, considered the explosive 9. nitro-
oompound of one or other of the tin and
lead metals of which the solder was made.
Astinmlfs are better understood than
those of lead it was resolved toinvestigato
the former, but with no result, as no ex-
plosive compound was formed with the
‘use of potassium. nitrate, on pure in.
After many experiments a thin layer of a
mixture of potassium, nitrate and sulphur
was placed between (in and copper foil,
and allowed to stand in a. moist condition.
After a time the copper was foundtohave
become coated with sulphide, while the
tin was largely converted into the basic
nitrate, which had proved explosive.
The conditions are obviously the same as
those found in the powder machinery,
where bronze and tin solder are con-
stantly in contact with moist gunpowder.

WONDERFUL AUTOMATONS.
h.
Very many of the tiny screws used in
this country in watch-making are turned
out on three little automatic machines in
Danbiu'y, Conn. One of them, while
turning out it perfect: screw at a fair rate
of speed, is considerably improved on by
its companions. The machine takes up
but little room. A man could carry it
under his arm without much difiiculty.
A wire is fed through a. tube into the ma-
chine. It is carried forward by revolv-
ing teeth. As it. appears a knife cuts
away the surplus metal to make the stem
for the thread, just as the chisel operates
at‘ the lathe of the wood-turner. As this
is finished a. small tube, in which the
thread is formed, advances and clasps the
stem, forms the thread at lightning speed
and falls back. As this is done twa
knives cut that portion of the wire 011’.
and the completed screw falls down. , The
wire again advances and the process
is repeated. The marvel of the machine
is best. grasped when the size of the screw
for-media understood. They are an eighth
of an inch in length and it would require
200 of them to weigh an ounce. The
thread on the stem is so small that it is
scarcely discernible to the naked eye.
Each machine will make 5,000 SI‘O'WH r.
day.“ The machines have been at ‘.-.‘t.'lfl{
but little more than a month and are flit-
resnlt of years of patient investigation.
