Mrs. Charles F. McKim’s new house
at Lenox, Mass, which attracts some
‘ attention as a revival of the old colonial
style, has a. roof that looks about a hun-

being due to the fact that the shingles,
instead of lying in the usual straight
and flat courses, are in partly depressed
lines. This device has been success-
fully tried in Several other houses.

whiskey into the stomach it enters some
of these organs and immediately goes
to the brain. If it were not soIsup-

they become dizzy.”
Few ecclesiastics in any age of the
church have been more active or
achieved more through the combined
use of tongue and pen than Mgr..
Dupanioup, who passed away in Octo-
ber, 1878, in his seventy-seventh year.
He was born, of poor parents, in the
village of Aix, in the Province of Savoy
on the 3d of January, 1802, and lived
through, and for over half the period
was an active participant in, all the
great movements of the nineteenth
century.
Of Sir Walter Scott, George Eliot
says: “I like to tell you that my wor-
ship is peculiar.
when I was 7 years old, and afterward,
when I was grown up and living alone
with my father, I was able to make
the evenings cheerful for him during
the last five or six years of his life by
reading aloud to him Scott's novels.
No other writer would serve as a substi-
tute for Scott, and my life at that time
would have been much more difficult
without him. It is a personal grief, a
heart wormd to me, whenI hear a de-
prediatory or slighting word about
Scott."

” Any news?" was asked of a leading
druggist, yesterday.
“Yes; I'll tell you something. There
are some parties at work raising a fund
to have the Legislature appoint a Drug
Inspector, pay him a good salary, so
that he will not have to steal, and
select a competent man and turn him
loose on the druggists of first-class
cities. ”
“ What would he do ?" .
“Why, make the fur fly. You
wouldn't see half the drug stores you do
now. ' The drugs of some of the stores
are no good. They sell baking powder
for quinine, and ground-up bedbugs for.
cantharides. .Oh, it’s awful! Especially-
is this the case with small out-of-the—
way stores, or where the prescription is
nothing very important. They just
slash in a few herbs and sich, catnip
or mullein leaves, gdd a little cheap
syrup, shake it up in a bottle, and say,
_ with the wisest look in the world, ‘One
dollar and a half, please.' What can
you do? Have the drugs inspected, and

The yield of amber in the Smaland

creased since 1880. when systematic
digging for that substance was first
commenced there. It is stated that the

$8,500, but in 1883 it rose to $125,000,

use has been made by Mr. Ellis, a sur-
geon of Gloucester, England. At the
junction of the horizontal inlet and ver-
tical distributing tubes there is an
adjustable door' for regulating or wholly
excluding the admission of outside air.
At the outer opening of the inlet tube
there is stretched apiece of some kind
of suitable cloth which acts as a kind of
filter to the entering air, and on the
inner sideof this strainer there is" a
chamber for the purpose of containing
any desirable perfume or disinfectant.

Adevice has been brought forward
for protecting water pipes against freez~
ing, the arrangement being based upon
the fact that water in motion will re-
main liquid at a lower temperature than
water at rest. ,One end of a copper
rod placed outside of the building, is
secured to a bracket, and the other end
is attached to one arm of a weighed
elbow lever; to the other arm of the lever
is secured a rod, which passes into the
building and operates a valve in the
water pipe. By means of turn buckles.
the length of the copper rod can be ad-
justed so that before the temperature
reaches the point at which there would
be danger of the water in the pipes
freezing, the valve- will be opened to
allow a. flow of water, beyond this point
the valve opening will increase and the
flow become more rapid as the cold be-
comes more intense, and as the tem~
percture rises the valve is closed. This
plan sets up a current in the pipes,
which replaces the water as it grows
cold by the warmer water from the
main. Whether the valve be opened
or closed, the service pipes-are always
in working order.
The discovery of a safe and efi‘lcient

long been a desideratum. notwithstandv
ing the various substitutes which have
been brought forward. Recently con-
siderable has been said of the discovery
made some time since by. an Arizona
tanner of a' plant which carries a large
proportion of tannin, and which, when
used in the manufacture of leather, is
found to give extra weight to the article
procured, This plant is of annual
growth. indigenous to the deserts and
dry uplands, and is known as gonagra.
It has a root somewhat longer and more
scraggy than the cultivated beet, though
resembling it in'appearance, and practi-
cal use has demonstrated its tannin
properties to be about threex'timesas
great a! the ordinary oak bark, and
that in all essentials it is superior to
such bark in the manufacture of leather.
It has now been in use for this purpose
a considerable time. proving beyond
question its, superior vadaptness, while
in respect to cost, as compared with
bark, it has immense advantage over
the latter.

ICEMINISCENCES OF A TOI’EH;
A prominent lawyer in Mississippi is
given to periodical sprees and many are
the stories of his acts and sayings while
under the influence of drink. .
While considerably overpowered from
too free and frequent libations recently,
he was standing in front of a bar-room
holding up an awning post: A hog
came along and was rooting and grunt-
ing in the gutter immediately in front
of theColonel, when the latter proposed
the following conundrum to the hog:
“Hie—what's the difference between
you and—hic—me ? Hic~give ’tupl

man—hic—in ther morning you'll be
'sober—hic—but a blamed hog still. "
The same distinguished lawyer on
another occasion left a bar-room, “full
as a tick," and asks stepped out on the
sidewalk. he, saw . an . intimate friend,
also an eloquent and distinguished law-
yer and politician, lying in the gutter,
entirely overcome from drink. Approach-
ing him, hebegan apostrophizing him
thusly: ” Only think of it! Here lies
the great and glorious General —, the
brightest intellect, the grandest orator
.in the'StatIL My God. come down to
this!" . ,. ‘
Just about that time the General
looked up and angrily asked: “Is it
any of your business I"
“ None in the least," replied the
Colonel, "but hate to see a friend of
mine—hic—fallen so low I"
"Friend of yours? You've gone
back on me. You are no friend of mine
or you would not allow me to lie here,"
replied the General.
About that time the Colonel lost his
balance and fell alongside the General,
exclaiming asihe fell down:
‘ ‘ I've been your life-long friend—hic—
I’ve stuck by you in your success and
rejoiced in your glorious achievements—
hic—and I will not forsake you now—
hic—I’ll stay with you—hio—ev‘en in

A Locouoms SPEED.
They were gathered in the ofilce tell-
ing railroad yarns. Colonel Bob Leach
was one of the party. “Gentlemen,"
said he, “I don't know how fast an
engine'can travel, but I'll give you‘ an
idea of how fast one did go. During
the war I ran a scouting engine for the
Confederate Government. It; was my
duty to carry a telegraph operator, who,
at different points, would cut the wires
and send dispatches. We were running
at a rapid rate one day. when, upon
rounding a curve. I saw a thousand
gun-barrels blaze in the sunlight.- I
also saw that a number of crosstiés had
been piled on the track. To stop in
time was an impossibility; to go on
seemed certain death, for even if we
escaped being killed by the wrecking
of the engine we would be shot to death,
for we were regarded as spies. I decided
in a second what to do. Telling my
companion to lie down in the tender I
seized the throttle, and, inlocomotive
parlance, threw her wide open. The
engine jumped like a rabbit. I threw
,myself flat in the tender, expecting
every second tobe hurled to an awful
death. Bang, bang, bang! want the
guns. Then all was silenh'savo the
whir whir of the wheels. Could it‘be
possible, that the engine had knocked
off the obstructions ? I arose and looked
out. We had passed the enemy and
scattered the ties. My companion, as
much astonished as myself, got up I
looked back, and just above the tender
I saw what I took to be a swarm of big,
black files. I reached out and took
hold of one. Gracious!» I then dis-
covered what they were. They were a
shower of bullets that the enemy had
fired .after us. Well, we ran along at
this rate until the bullets all‘fell behind.
Then we slacked up. " The gentlemene

HYBRID OYSTERS.
A French piscatory journal has been
repeating the assertion that the Portu-
guese oyster crosses with the true native,
or “ gravette," in tho Arcachon beds,
producing a. hybrid that tastes like cod
liver oil; and the local oyster growers are
very wroth. They say this libel is caus-
ing them considerable damage, English
fatteners having beenprejudicell against
laying down oyster-fry from Arcachon.
Whether the two species can produce a
hybrid or not—and there are violent
partisans who call themselves scientific
on both sides of the question—there is
no doubt, and the Arcachonnais admit
it, that the Portuguese oyster has been
in their waters since at least 1866. This
béiug so, the driving out of the native,
except where artificially laid- down in
the enclosed beds. is a mere question of
time. The coarse, base, vigorous, swift.
growing “ mule-foot, " as it is called from
its shape in the Bay- of Biscay, is certain
to crowd out the weaker and tenderer
oyster. It is all very well for the Area-
chon oyster-fishers tb assert that the
bugbear is very rare and. makes but
little spat. ‘ That is only what they
desire; and any one who has seen them'

To thoroughly cure scrofula it is neces-

the vital fluid. Thousands who have been
cured of scrofula by Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
testify to its wonderful blood-purifying
qualities. Sold by all druggists.

remove the cause of disease with first
making you sick by a weakening purge.
