LIVES on mansions.
As a rule, the polygamist has some
property before increasing his stock of
wives. In the city, therefore, it is sel-
dom that the difi'crcnt wives share the
some quarters. In the country this is
not so uncommon, but the natural un-
pleasantness follows in most cases. The
general method is to have a large house,
the main part of which, perhaps, is co-
cupicd by the first wife, and wings or
additions by the successive candidates
for marital honors. These large, strag-
gling, hotel-like houses are common in
Salt Lake City, and mark a difference be-
tween it and a town of small houses like
Cheyenne and most other Western villa-
ges. In many cases. however, the hus~
baud sets up his wives in separate homes,
either side or in difi'crcut parts of the
city. In any one each has her own
kitchen garden, etc. I have in minds
wealthy dignitary of the church who has
seven wives. Each of these women has
some farming and garden ground of her
own, and all are greatly devoted to rear-
ing bees. With the help of their grown
children they each raise a large amount
of produce and honey annually. The
husband acts as their agent. He hives
their swarms of bees, and charges them
for it; he renders special aid when called
upon, and is paid for it; he sells their
crops and honey when it is ready, and
credits each wife with her due share.
Most of them live in suites of apartments
under the roof of his great house in
town, but the first wife has a beautiful
farm of her own a little out of the city,
of which she and her children havcre-
tired, to end their days in peaceful indeg
pendencc. The way in which this old
gentleman has always arranged his do-
mestic life is reported to be thus: he
had certain rooms in his house where he
kept his bed, his wardrobe, his books,
and saw any visitors who called upon
him. Here he was 'a bachelor, and here
he stayed every other day and night.
On alternate days and nights he was the
guest-of one or another of his wives 1n
regular rotation, devoting the one day
(in this case fortnightly) which was hers,
diligently to her society. Of course
this routine was not invariable, but for
the most part it was regularly followed.

Many a man has gone into a book-
seller’s shop for some particular work,
and after looking around has left it with
the appetite for acquiring fanned into
flame for the rest of his life. The modern
second hand bookseller is an important
factor in the formation of' libraries.
Often born and bred among books, their
study his profession, he frequently pos.
access an amount of knowedge about
them which the amateur, with all his
spare time, can never rival. Although
most booksellers have ~ some special
branch, the knowledge is frequently
varied and large, not only in their special
interests—the dates, editions and values
of books—but also in their contents.
And most collectors have experienced
gratefully the courtesy. patience and
persistence often shown in'inquiring for
and tracing some search and desirable
volume, in order to obtain which the
bookseller has perhaps to put himself
into communication with agencies in
In both hemispheres. One difficulty
which the collector eventually meets—
the collector of unlimited purse and in-
satiable maw at least—is that sooner or
later he finds himself opposed to a limi-
ted number of copies of some source
book and a relatively unlimited number
of competitors for them. Standard
works and the less uncommon rarities he
may easily obtain. The volumes of his
library may be numbered by thousands.
Then arrives the time when—appetite
growing with food—he is only to be cut-
isfied by possessing solitary survivors
whose companions have perished from
the effects of fire, neglect or suppression,
or rarities whose fame is world-wide.
But on the rare occasions when these
come under the hammer he finds him-
self confronted by other collectors,
equally weflthy and determined, and
with buyers for the largepublic libraries,
of which so many are now being formed.
It is under these conditions that the
startling figures are bid that excite feel-
ings of derision or even of anger, in
people who have no sympathy with the
collector's ambition.

To begin with, there is a degree of
dignity and stately bearing about the
court and is members. which permeates
even to the most humble attache. There
is a quiet in the court-room which re-
calls the Sabbath of the Covenanters.
When one enters. the involuntary feeling
comes on that the room is set aside only
for the contemplation of the sober side
of life, and woe to him who jibes and
jokes in the presence of the court.. At
twelve o'Olcck (noon) the justices come
in from the consulting-room and take
their seats on the bench. Away tothe
leftof the chamber is seen a youthful
oflcer, ,whm‘busincss it is to catch
the first glimpse of the advancing
judges. Then comes three raps with a
ponderous gavel by the some officer.
This is meant as a signal for the audi-
ence fcrisc. Then, with the chief justice
in advance, the judges enter from the
right of the chamber. To the rear of the
justices' seat is an aisle. In the centre is
an arched entrance for the chief justice.
Through this aisle the..judges file and
take positions onthcright md left. None
enter until the chief justice emerges
from the centre nuance. After all have

Then the judges take seats. a stroke of

A MAN WHO EATS DHCE AND FLIES.
J. A. Miller, for some years a resident
of Forest Hill, Cal, and a somewhat
notorious character in that locality,
swatlowed a large dose of strychnine
with suicidal intent. It was nearly an
hour after the deadlyrdrug had been
taken before the doctor reached him,
but by a vigorous application of the
stomach pump his life was saved. Relic
his men of Forest Hill say that he pos-
sesses what might be termed a galvanized,
elastic stomach. He could eat anything
without nauseating him, and as for
quantity it was never known exactly how
much his stomach would hold. On one
occasion, it is said. he ate eight small
cans _of oysters, several cans of
pamhcs. besides crackers, cheese and
bologna sausage in proportion and
washed it down with eight or ten glasses
of beer, and then afterwards when asked
to sing a song he wantedto know whether
they expected him to sing on an empty
stomach. It is said also that he would

by the handful just to show what he
could do. ' At'one time he ate a mouse.

STEERING BALLOONS.
——
The announcement undo a few days
since that the problem of steering bal-
loons had been solved was received with
incredulity, and attracted little notice.
It appears, however, to be a great fact.
Two French engineer officers, Captain
Renard and Captain Krebs, have for six
years past been making experiments in
an enclosed area in the Meudon Forest.
The establishment was on the point of
being (:1on for want of funds, but M.
Gambetta, when President of the Budget
Committee, obtained a grant of 100,000
francs M. Herve Mangon reported to
the Academy of Science that on August
9th these two officers mounted their bal-
loon, steered it against the wind at a
height about thirty yards, to a given point
at a considerable distance, not, stated;
then turning round and describing a cir-
cle of about 300 yards, returned straight
to the point of departure, and descended
with precision at a spot which would
have been very dangerous had not the
balloon been absolutely under command.
The academicians exhibited much in-
terest on receiving this communication.
M. Faye inquired why the public were
not admitted to witness the experiment,
and asked that next time at least a depu-
tation of the Academy might be present.
H. Herve Mangonreplied that the paper
he had read was furnished by the Minis-
ter for War, whose secret the discovery
was, and he was not at present authorized
to say anything more. Such an im-
portant secret is not likely long tube
kept, especially. as experiments on s
large scale must neceuarily be in view of
the public. Already sketches of .{the bal-
loon appear in the papers. It is in the
shape of a cigar, pointed at both ex-
tremitics. A not hangs from it, Contain-

Twenty years ago the Swiss monster
hotel was justly considered the best of
its kind. Nowhere else were the accom-
modation and the attendance so good.
There was a sort of Arcadiane simplicity,
such as yet found in old inns of the 0r-
berland, about the people._ They were
cordial and polite, and the bill—that
suake-in-the-grass which often cmbittcrs
the feeling between host and guest—was
reasonably moderate. All that/has been
changed. A younger generation of hotel
keepers has grown up to inherit the
paternal keys, and it has occurred to
Young Switzerland that the best way to
squeeze a profit out of travelers is to
bully them. All individuality is tobo
strictly repressed as it was in German
hostels when Erasmus was a young stu-
dent. Pilgrims may scramble for
rooms. be thankful when they get what
they want, and meek and mute when
they do not, or it will be the worse for
them. There is food in plenty at the
gigantic table d’hotc; otherwise .let the
lagng wait for the next meal. Yin or-
dinaire, called by eight difi‘ercnt Danica,
and at various prices on the wine list,
should content the thirstiest. There
must be no complaints, no whims and
fancies. Not every Swiss landlord has
the spirit tosummon his' retainers and
hurl recalcitrant visitorsdown a flight of
stone steps, as happened two or three
years since at the Righi. But it is not

THE AMERICAN SENATE,
___.
Among the " Second Chambers " of
the world, the Senate of the United
States holds unquestionably the fore-
most placc. The House of Lords has a
far more splendid history, but nothing
like the same share of substantial power.
Under no other Constitution of the “bi-
cameral" type, except that of the
United States, has it been possible for
the upper house-«the chamber of less
directly popular origin, of less frequent
renewal by election, and of more restrict-
ed numbers—to attain, without any sign
of public impatience or discontent, an
unchallenged and unbroken ascendancy.
It is with the Senate that we associate
the names of all the eminent public men,
with the rarest exceptions, who have
left their mark on the parliamentary his-
tory of the Union, and the exceptions
nearly all belong to the revolutionary
periods of the War of Independence and
the war of the secession. In the records
Of the Senate, and not in those of the
House of Representatives we must look
for the greatest names in American poll-l
ties, at the height of their authority and
distinction, though some among them
may have passcdaway for a while to the
White House Or the Cabinet.

A ROYAL MATCHMAEKR OMITTED.
Going one day from Potsdam to Ber-
lin, Frederick the Great, writes Colonel
Brackenbury, in his biography. of the
Prussian monarch, saw coming toward
him, in the opposite direction, a mag.
nificent girl, young, handi‘icmc and of
‘ good figure, superb in number of inches
He was at Once struck with admiration
for her, stOpped to talk, and found that
she was unmarried and was on her way
from Berlin to her Saxon home.
“Then," said Frederick William, “ you
will be passing the gate of Potsdam, and
will no doubt give this note to the com-
mandant, receiving a dollar for your
trouble. " ‘
But women, even when tall, are not
wily outwitted. The girl _ knew the
king by sight and reputation, and, know-
ing that to refuse the note would proba-
bly bring her a shower of blows from
the ratan, accepted the commission. Ar-
rived near the gate of Potsdam, she
found there a little wizcncd old bag, to
whom she entrusfcd the delivery of the
létter, honestly handing over the dollar
with it. Then forthwith she sped away
toward home. _
The commandant opened the note, and
found himself ordered to marry the
bearer to a certain gigantic Irish grena-
. dier named Macdoll (? MacDowall). He
rubbed his eyes, but there could be no
doubt about the clearuess of the com-
mand. The grenadier was sent for, and
then began a curious scene. Themau
was in absolute despair. Such a mate
for one of his thaws and siuews seemed a
horrible mockery. The proposed wife,
on the contrary. was quite ready to sub-
mit herself to the orders of the king.
There was no escape; to refuse further
would be flat mutiny, and the soldier
wasactually'obliged to obey. The mis~
take was not discovared .till the next
morning, when Frederick. finding him-
self tbwarted in hisdesigns for the de-
velopment of giants in Germany, con-
sented to the divorce of the ill-matched
couple.

quNAMES 0F (MINERALS.
Every General of prominence has a
nickname bestowed upon him by his
troops. Some of these names were of a
sarcastic nature, but usually they in-
dicamd the confidence of the men in
their leaders or their admiration for
them. Gen. Grant was commonly
known over the watchfires in the Army
of the Potomac as “ Old United States,"
from the initials of his name, but some-
times he was 'called “Old Three Stars,"
that number indicating his rank as Lieu-
tenant-GeneraL McClellan was en-
deared to his army as “Little Mac."
Meade, who wore spectacles, was de-
lighted tO learn that-the soldiers had
named him “Four-eyed George,"'for he
know it was not intended as a reprcach.
Burnside, the Colonel of the First Rhoda
Island regiment, rose to the dignity of
”Rhody" when he became a General.
Hooker never liked the 'sobriquet of
“Fighting Joe," though he always
lived ‘up to it during his career in the
field. Pope was saddled with the title of
“saddle-bag John," in memory of his
famous order about headquarters being
on horseback. His men used to say that
their headquarters moved pretty rapidly
at times. Sigel, the German General,
was known in the other corps as
“Dutchy. " Hancock won the brevet of
“Superb" from a remark made by Gen.
Meade at Gettysburg when the Second
Corps repulsed Lougstreet's men. Hum-
phrey, being a distinguished engineer,
was invariably styled “Old Mathematics."
The Pennsylvanaiu Reserves Used to call
Crawford “ Physics," he being a surgeon
at the beginning of his military career.
Logan, with his long black hair and
dark complexion, was “Black Jack"
with his men. Sheridan, the cavalry
leader, was “Little Phil," and Sherman's
troops spoke of him as “ Old Tecumseh."
The sterling nature and steadfast pur-
pose of Thomas earned for him the sig-
nificant and familiar name of “Old
Reliable." Alexander McDowell Mc-
Cook, like Hooker, was called “Fighting
McCook." The New-York City regi.
ments _ in the Fifth Corps changed
Sykes to “Syksey. Halleck was der-
isively nicknamed “01d Brains," and
Rosecrans had his name shortened to
“Bossy." Lew Wallace was "Louisa"
to the soldiers under his command. He
was a great favorite for his fighting
qualities, and the soldiers adopted that
inappropriate name for want of a better.
Kcarny, who had left an arm in Mexico,
was invariably known in the ranks as
"One-armed Phil." Butler was styled
“Cockcye,” for obvious reasons Kiipat-
rick was nicknamed “ Kill," while Custer
was called "Ringlcta" On account of his
long, flowing curls ; and so the catalogue
might be prolonged indefinitely. Among
the Confederates familiar nicknames
were not so common as with the Fed-
erals. The soldiers of the Army of Nor.
thorn Virginia usually spoke of Gen.
Leases”Bob he." Little Mahonc was
best known as “ Skin and Bone. ” Early
was called “Bad Old Muu,”aud Jack.

EIGHTS IN PALEI'I‘INE.
The old maritime plain of the Philos-
t‘me (which is another name for Pales-
tine) lay along this coast from Gaza
northward, and it was considered a land
worth struggles. This Joshua found.
But in vain do we look for the“roses
of Sharon and the lilies that grow"in
this land so renowned once for its rascatc
beauty, Still, we are told that in the
vernal season it is carpeted like a Texas
prairie, with lovely flowers of various
hues. Along the dusty afternoon road
we pass innumerable caravans of camels,
led by Arabs on donkeys. The Arab
generally sits on the remote point of the
os coccygis of the animal, and without
stir-raps. He swings his bare, brown
feet and legs, while the little beast trots
along. Plenty of women, with faces
here apparent, and in long blue, cheap
cotton mantles, and sometimes with head
crowned with burdens of fruit, pitchers,
straw or wood, are met on the way.
Some ruins—mostly of churches—here
and there appear; while square, window-
less Turkish guard-houses are seen at in-
tervals, at whose doors are whitcdressed,
fez-capped Turkish soldiers, with guns
and cigarettes. These are the police.
who are supposed to guard the road;
but to our observation no guard is need-
ed, except in the dark mountain passes,
and there Turkish engineering has been
careful to have as few guard-houses as
possible. '
There is not much to see on the road
until you come to Ramleh. Beggars
and bakshish, and some old relics as
crusading reminders, are here. and one
very conspicuous object. The latter is a
square tower and winding staircase. It
is of! the road, and has a fine view of the
surrounding country. It is over one
thousand years old, and has many Mos-
lem associations. Ramleh has been the
scene of much contest. Indeed, every
little spot here in Judas is full of memo-
ries, from the time Israel came down
from Mosh mountains into the Jordan
valley. The road is not to be mentioned
for its convenience and perfection, only
for its historic, religious. and aesthetic
interest It was built in 1809, by forced
labor, and indeed its rough and stony
incompleteness looks like anything but
the result of cheerful work. It is sup-
ported by tolls, so much per head, on
every animal on the road. One should
not complain of the road. when it is re-
membered that before 1800. there was
not a bridle path to Jonsslsln.

Prof. Bell, inventor of the-Bell tele-
phone, says: .“Thc waste of water
power in America, for lack of electrical
apparatus to transmit it, is something
enormous. If the power of waterfalls in
places so inaccessible that it cannot be
utilized could be transmitted forty or
fifty miles to where it might be applied
toadvautage, all this power runningto
waste would be saved, would be cheaper
than steam, and in the and possibly su-
perscdei " Ho says‘in regard to tele-
phoning : “ Distance is a minor consid-
eration. If there were but one wire on
the surface of the earth aman might talk
all the way round the globe. The multi-
tude of disturbing influences—telegraph
wires utmOSpher-ic disturbance and mag-
netic influences—overcome the telephonic
action. I have already overcome as
much resistance as would be necessary to
send a message around the world. I
have talked through the bodies of thirty
persons standing with their hands
joined." '

Awoman called at a lawyer's ofiiocto
sccabout bringing a breach of promise
suit against a man twenty years her
senior. The lawyer suggested that he
should try to effect a settlement, and
wanted to know what amount of damages
would be satisfactory. _ She replied that
she would rather prosecute him than
settle the case otherwise, but if hc'want-

Sharks as a rule have round bodies.
The mouth is down underneath the head,
as in most fishes. The most marked
characteristic of sharks is their voracity.
They will eat anything that comes in
their way, and their jaws are provided
with numerous sets of teeth, so that as
soon as one set are torn out or rendered
worthless, another set. takes their
place. The teeth are set in a tough but
very durable cartilage. ‘Thc teeth of
most sharks will come out very easily.
The size to which they grow can be
judged by the size of their teeth The
teeth of some sharks, particularly the
man-eaters, are sharp and pointed like
spikes, while the. teeth of another class
are set into the jaws fiat like paving
stones In a spare hour on board ship s
sailor will take as much pleasure in
sharpening a shark hock as a barber
dOes in strapping a razor. After a shark
is captured and hauled about! the vessel
the sailors out it up futons-many small
pieces aspossible before throwing it
overboard ' Sharks are - as tenacious of
life as cats, and, it is necessary to cut
them all to pieces in order to kill them.
On one occasion some sailors caught a
good~sized shark, and, after getting it on
deck, dispatched it, as they thought. They
cut out one entire side of its mouth and
' threw the mangledcarcass back into the
water. 'A little while afterward they
caught the same shark, apparently as
full of life and mischief as ever.
The thrashing shark has a tough and
ugly looking tail longer than the body.
with which it tin-ashes anddisablcs its
enemies. It is a formidable and relent-
less enemy of the whale, and hunts the
leviathan of the deep in company with
the sword-fish. These fish travel in
packs like wolves When a whale is at-
tacked the sword-fish goes down under
it, and by pricking and cutting it in the
belly they force the monster to rise to
the surface of the water. - Then the
thrashing sharks raise their tails and
lush the whales across the back. The
sword-fish and the shark keep up their
combined assaults until their mammoth,
but against them powerless, adversary is
dead. The only part of the whale that is
eaten by the thrashing shark is the
tongue. It is not known that the sword-
fish eats any part of a whale. They ap-
pear to join with the thrashing shark in
assaulting the whale only out of pure
viciousness. With all their voracity,
sharks are entitled to the credit of caring
for one another. Young sharks are
watched and protected by the older one:
W
now A MAN WALKS.
One of the most remarkable things
about a man’s walk is the diagonal move-
ment which characterizes it. The reader
may imagine the hands and feet to form
the four Corners of a parallelogram, and
the diagonal limbs are,.of course, the
rightarmand left leg and the left arm
and right leg. By diagonal movement
we, therefore. intend to convey the fact
that the'diagonal limbs during locomo-
tion always swing in the same direction.
A soldier on parade keeps his arms mo-
tionless by his sides, and on no account
must they be allowed to vibrate. This is
not what he would naturally do if left to
himself. Watch any one person out of
of the hundreds walking along the
streets. and it will be seen that he inc.-
variable'swiugs his arms as'he goes
along, perhaps to an extreme degree if
he be a rustic, and less so if town bred.
The arms swing by theabodylikca
couple of pendulas, and with a speed
which entirely depends upon the rate
at which he may be walking. The
athlete. anxious to complete the given
number of “laps " in a mile or couple of
miles, and outstrip his competitors,
swings his arms to and fro with a quick-
ness which corresponds with the motion
of his swiftfcet; thebusiucss maualso
swings his arms with a motion which, if
not so quick, exactly times with the mo-
tion of the legs ; and even the idle man
about town, lounging along some
fashionable carter, unconsciously gives
a slow mo ‘11 to his arms which cor-
responds to his tardy legs. Now, if the
motion be even carelessly observed, it
will be found that the right arm swings
forward at the same time as the left leg,
and when the right leg is advancing it is
the left arm which accompanies it. This
is the natural gait, and, to 00an one’s
self that it is so, it is only requisite to'
get a friend to . Walk across the room
'in the opposite fashion, i. 0., to swing
the right arm forward when stepping
out with the right leg, and: then, in the
same manner, when bringing forward
the left leg to accompany it with the left
arm. Such a gait is both unnatural and
uncomfortable to the person who tries it,
and also ludicrous to the observer who
watches a first attempt of the kind. The
diagonal movement of the limbs is the
natural method adopted by man when
walking, and it is thcfirst audmostap-
parent fact that one ascortains in study-
ing human locomotion.

I’OTATOES IN “Elk JACKETS.
“Should potatoes be peeled before
cooking, or should they be boiled in
their jacketsf I say most docidedlyin
jackets,” writes Professor Mattien Wil-
liams, “and will state my reasons. From
fifty-three to fifty-six per cent. of'thc
saline» constituents of the potato is
potash, and potash is an important con-
stituent of the blood—so important that
in Norway. whcrc__scurvy 'onco prevailed
very seriously, it has been banished
since the introduction, of the petite.
and, according to Lang and other an-
thorities, it is owing to the use of this
vegetable by a people...who formerly
were insufficiently supplied with saline
vegetable food. Potash salts srcmcly
soluble in water, and I find that the
water in which potatoes have been boiled
contains potash,“ may be proved by
boiling 'it‘ down to concentrate, than
filtering, and adding the usual-potash
test, platinum chloride. .‘It is evident
that the skin of the potatomust resist
this passage of‘thc potash into the water,
though it may not fully prevent it. The
bursting of the skin occurs only at quite
the latter stage of file cookery. The
greatest practical authorities on the
potato—Irishmen—appem to be unani-
mous; I do not remember to have seen
a pro-peeled potato in Ireland. » I find I
can at once detect by the difi'erence of
flavor whether a potato has been hailed
with or without its jacket, and this dif-
ference is evidently saline." ,
Camphor laurel, a native of China.
Japan, Formosa, and Cochin China. the
tree from which most of the camphor of
commerce is obtdncd, has recently been
introdmed into California. It grows to
cfisiderable hight and is valuable for
timber, the wood being light and dura-
ble, and liable to injury from insectsuand
much in favor for carpenter and cabinet
work. Every part of the tree, and es-
pecially the flowers, smells strongly of
camphor. With respect tothe growing
of the camer treein'California, it is
said that it is easily‘propagated from
seeds or cuttings, and does especially
well along the coast. A tree at Scors-
mento has attained a hight of thirty foot.

outs often weigh‘fifty to fifty-five pounds
to the measurod'bushel. Of course we
cannot ' hope to compete in our hot, dry
climate with that-of those places which is
cool, moist and admirably suited to the
growth of cats. ‘ But as we sow we shall
reap, and it' has been satisfactorily
proved that heavy med sown will pro-
duce heavy grain for some years, and
with good treatment—that is, with
mauuring liberally and with careful cul-
ture of the soil-fthe crop will deteriorate
only very slowly. Our. neighbors in
Canada produce oats of forty-five
pounds to the bushel from seed of the
same weight imported from New Bruns-
wick. ,So that it .is a question of seed
and culture with this crop, precisely as
it is with all others. If- we desire to grow
oats suited for making meal we haves
market for the grain, and in any case a
farmer should desire to grow heavy
grain, although he may feed his product
ouhisfarm. As a hint toward thisrc-
salt wcgive the following particulars rc-
gardiug the manufacture of oat-meal,
taken from the American Miller :—
"The first operation in the manufac-
ture of the meal is the removing from
the eats all the cookie; small oats, and
foreign seeds of whatever kind, for if any
of these remain thequality of the meal is
much injured. 13le cats, if even or
good quality, give a bad appearance to
the manufactured meal, as it reappears
in the form of black particles which to
the tidy housewife appears to be some-
thing much more uncleauly. After the
cats have been properly cleaned by sift-
ing, they are next subjected to the opera~
tion of drying. This is awomplished in
dry kilns, with special apparatus con-
structed for the purpose. This opera-
tiori‘ requires somecarc to prev out the
cats from burning. As soon as suffici-
ently dry they are removed from the kiln
while still very hot, and stored in such a
way as to have them retain their heat;
after thus remaining three or four days,
and hardening, they are ready for the
shelling operation. The shelling is ac-
complished by passing the oats through
millstoncs of a special pattern. The
product that comes from the stones is
greats, or the whole kernels, dust, seeds,
etc, and these must be separated; by
means of a combination of sieves and
fans the grants are separated from the
other material, and are then ready for
grinding. For extra quality meal the
greats may again be shelled and also
passed through a brushing machine.
The grinding of them must not be long
delayed, as a few weeks’ exposure renders
them unfit for milling. In grinding the
grout, the great-aim is to avoid pulver-
ization, and to have. the granules out
square and of uniform size. Oat-meal is
generally denominated .by the cut—as
pin-head cut, rough cut, medium and
fine cut—though these terms have dif-
ferent districts. After the grinding the
meal is passed through sieves and the
siftings graded according to size."
DUST m THE “5.
There is scarcely a solid, however como
pact it may appear, which does not con-
tain pores. and these pores arefilled with
air. It is tobefound in abundancein
the soil; indeed, were it not so, num-
borleu worms and insects which inhabit
the latter would cease to exist. The
most compact mortar and walls are pene-
trated by it, and water in its natural
state contains a large quantity of air in
solution. The atmosphere was formerly
behaved to extend no higher than five
miles above the earth’s surface, but
meteorological observations have since
shown that it extends to a height of
more than two hundred miles. Owing
to the force of gravity theair is much
denser near the earth, and gets thinner,
layer by layer, as you ascend. If, then,
the atmosphere were possessed of color,
it would be very dark just round the
globe, and the tint would gradually fade
in space. There is no absolutely normal
composition of the air we breathe or, if
there be, it is not at present known. It
contains, however, in all cases, unless
under purely artificial conditions, two
essential elements, which are nearly in-
variable under normal circumstances.
namely, oxygen and nitrogen, and two
accessory elements which vary extremely
in amount, but are practically never
absent, namely, carbonic acid and water.
Without either of the first two, air could
not exist, and without the last two air is
scarcely found in nature Their com-
bination, moreover is not a chemical
union, but a simple mechanical mixture.
But beside these constituents the air
contains a very great amount of life, and
numerous small particles derived from
the whole creation. In theuir maybe
found animalcules, spores seeds, cells of
all kink. eggs bf insects, fungi. and ele-
ments of contagion, besides formless
dust, and sandy and other particles of
local origin. For example, no one can
travel in a railway carriage without being
surrounded by dust, a large portion of
which may be attracted lay a magnet,
consisting, as it does, in a great measure,
of minute particles of iron derived from
therails. Thepurest airbassomc dust
in it. There probably never fella beam
of light from the sun since the world was
made which would not have shown count-
less numbers of solid particles.
s. novnr. TIME-PIECE.
Amsu who was appointed watchman
at a mine on the Comstock had no watch»
He did not wish to buy one, yet was
desirous of knowing how the time was
passing. Ho borrowed the watch of a
friend for one night. On returning the
watch next day he told his friend that
he was all right now, that he had a tam
keeper of his own. He then unrollcd a
strip of paper some four inches in width
from a stick and exhibited it as his clock.
on the strip of paper he had marked
down, as they rose above the horizon, all
the stars and constellations within a nar-
row bclt. Opposite each‘star was the
time of its making its appearance—hour
and minute. The watchman says his
watch is afinetimckeeper. ,Hchas re.
cently improved it somewhat. The slip
rof paper now runs on two small rollers

woars away and the stars pass over, he
now turns thccrsnk of his watch and
looks at the time marked by the side of

The English post-ofiice department is

Some are chests and plain; others are

are nickel plated; others are covered
with figured velvet. Whether it be for

DEAR Sm: For ten years I had been afillcted

I suffered must be Left to the imagination—for no
one can appreciate it except who have gone

many different kinds of treatment, and spent a

of a preparation widely advertised as a specific for
this precise sort of troubles, and found it entirely
useless—at least in my case.
