We steamed off and anchored as near in shore os we could get, opposite the place intended for the landing place. All was now activity on board. No sooner were we at anchor than a conple of boats were dispatched for the beach, with a party of raeu and the necessary tools and implements for use on shore. On board both picking up and paying out gear were being made ready for action, as they both played their part in land ing the shore end; huge coils of rope and a number of collapsed air balloons made their appearance from below. These balloons were inflated with air to their full diameter of three or four feet, and the quarter deck of the Dal matia began to assume the appearance of a giant’s toy shop. Meanwhile the shore party had firmly anchored to the beach two large “spider sheaves,” or skeleton iron pulleys. These were placed some two or three hundred yards apart, forming two ungles of a parallelogram, of which the bow and 6tern sheave3 of the ship made the other two. A rope was now carried from the stern of the ship to the shore, and, passing round both spider sheaves, brought back to the ship and taken over the bow sheave to the picking up gear. The cable was made fast to the rope and paid out slowly over the stern, the picking up gear meanwhile heaving in on the other end of the rope, and so hauling the cable gradually ashoro. The rope was wound four or five times round the big drum of the picking up gear, steam was turned on, and tho drum, rumbling and rever berating, hauled the rope in. Aft the cable was wound four or five times round the paying out drum, also revolved by steam in order to ease the strain, which, with about a mile of rope out be tween the ship’s stern and her bow, is something considerable. As the cable leaves the stem the raison d’ etre of the air balloons becomes ap parent. At intervals of about fifteen o: sixteen yards one is securely lashed to the cable, and in this way the cable i* floated from the ship to the shore, and not dragged along the bottom to run the risk of being damaged by rocks. An other advantage is that, if the cable is sagged by a cross current or tide, it can readily be straightened by stopping the paying out and heaving in at tho bowi —Herbert Laws Webb in Scribner’s.

I have soon many (lava of joy, but I remember no such exhilaration as that which I felt when I mounted my first pair of bouts. To appreciate such an era in life one needs to be brought up in the country. Boys in town come to thin crisis before they can appreciate the height and depth of such an acquisition. I felt that robust schoolboys could no longer strike mo across the cheek, and when I turned cry. “What are you look ing at?" Nay, tho time was past when worse than any possible insult could happen, and that was for anybody to ’chuck mo under the chin and call me “Bub.” I do not think there is any law, human nr divine, demanding that a boy shonld submit to tho school bully. I remember with what deep satisfaction, after Jim Johnson had knocked my hat in the tnud and spat in my face and tore my now coat, I felt called upon to vindicate the majesty of my new boots. That, how ever, was before l had any idea of be coming a minister.—Dr. Talmuge in New York Journal. A House In » TloUle. &me years ago a blind boy residing in Chicago constructed a miniature house inside an ordinary four ounce medicine bottle. The building was made np of forty pieces of wood, all neatly fitted and glued together. It would have puzzled a man with two good eyes to put the pieces in the bottle without the task of putting them together. As wonder ful as the above may seem it is only a part of the remarkable achievements of this sightless lad. After completing the house to his satis faction he set about fastening the cork in tho bottle, but how ho accomplished the startling feat has ever remained a mystery. Inside the bottle below the neck a small wooden peg was driven through the cork, which extended far enongli on each side of the stopper to prevent it being removed from tho bot tle. Tho hoy is unablo to explain the astonishing piece of ingeniousneos. —St. Louis Republic. Wage* iif Cincinnati Teacher*.

In other words, some of the principals make more money in one hour than' many workingmen do in two days.—Cincinnati Times-Star. A Banyan Grove. Near Gitfonl station, on the Staten Islam? railroad, there is a peculiar piece of woodland, a sjxjt where the roots of the trees all attach themselves to the tranks at from four to six feet above the level of the ground, giving to the stumps an odd, spidery appearance. The soil of the vicitaity is very porous, which lends weight to the opinion that the banyan like grove has been formed by the action of frost and water.—St. Paul Republic. Cleaning Lamp, by M.ehln.ry, A machine for rapidly cleaning the ganse of miners’ safety lamps has been introduced into the Wombwell collier- at Barnsley.

Two other brushes have a i-ti^ color motion, and are intended to sweep the ends of the gauze and various ports of fjj© lamp.—Now York Journal. • ^ ’v' - * Discord In tho Cliolr. Drilling a volunteer choir is the most exasperating work ever undertaken by a human being. In the first place it is morally certain that at least half a dozen members think they know more than the leader, aud two or three are al ways better informed than the man who wroto tho music, so they offer, with cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic sug gestions as to the manner in which it should be performed, and feel much ag grieved if their ideas are not acted on. Then the women are always either so devoted to each other that they keep np a constant chatter when they should bo singing or listening to the leader’s di rection, or are quarreling and “put each other out.” They are not responsible for ull the trouble, but when they do quarrel they generally manage to enlist the men in the service of both sides, aud the first thii g the leader knows one half his choir has quit and tho other half is about to do so because they are not numerous enough to make a creditable chorus. A choir leader says: “1 have gone into church on Sunday morning and found six or eight members sitting in the con gregation. instead of in their places, and the rest glaring at them from the organ stand. It is fun for them and for the people, but it’s death to tho leader.” —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DOCTOR ACKER’S ENGLISH REMEDY j "torCought.

Speaking of congress gaiters and drowning recalls a fashionable middle aged physician who thoroughly belioves in this fatality. He gave it away in this wise: While consulting a man in deli cate health about his care for himself in Ihe winter time the doctor said: “What kind of shoes have you got on?” They proved to bo the fatal congress gaiters, and tho doctor objected. "Did you ever seo an account of a drowned man fonnd in the bay that didn’t say lie had on con gress gaiters? You laugh anil say that doesn’t mako any difference, and there is no connection of cause and effect. "How do you know there isn't? You can't trace it, but I’m not certain that congress gaiters do not tend to such moral nnd physical degeneracy that a man is liablo to fall off a ferry boat, or in n fit of despondency to jump into the river. At any rate 1 don't wear them. I told a woman tho same thing once and she laughed. 1 went on, and when ! leached home found a letter from her, saying sho imd picked up a paper after 1 went away, and the first tiling found several confirmations of what 1 said, and she wanted to admit that she was con vinced."—New York Tribune. In til. ClouiU. Professor Moller, of Curlsruhe. has made some interesting observations on clouds. The highest clouds, cirrus nnd cirro-stratus, rise on an average to a height of nearly 80,000 feet. The mid dle clonds keep at from 10,000 feet te 28,000 feet in height, while the lower clouds reach to between 3,000 feet and 7,000 feet. The cumulus clouds float with their lower surfuce at a height ol from 4,000 to 5,000 feet, while thoit summits rise to 16,000 feet. The tops ol the Alp* are often liiddeD by ciomls ol the third class, bnt tho bottoms of ths clouds of the second class, and espe dally of the thunder clouds, often enfold them. The "e.rtical dimension of a cloud ob served by Professor Moller on the Netle- bergwas over 1,200 feet He stepped ont of it at a height of about 3.7U0 feet, and high above the mountain floated clouds of the middlo class, while veils ol mist lay in the ravines and clefts. The upper clonds were growing thicker, while the lower ones were dissolving, and soon it began to rain nnd snow.— Publio Opinion. A Smart Detective. Sergeant Moser on ono occasion saw u waiter in a cafe at Soho receive and place in his pocket a letter which the de tective believed to be from a criminal a knowledge of whose whereabouts iie was anxions to obtain. He therefore drop ped his ring on the floor and asked the man to look for it. AlphonBC, expecting a reward, immediately went on hi, hands and knees, and while thus en gaged Sergeant Moser abstracted tho let ter from his pocket and thus obtained the means of bringing a forger to jus tice. Who can doubt that this was a perfectly justifiable act? But if. instead. Sergeant Moser had suborned another person to steBl for reward, anil without telling him the object in view, lie would most assuredly have acted very wi ongly —Spectator. The First Silk Mill In Etlgliinil. A portion of tho old mill built by John Loinbe at Derby in 1718—the first silk mill ever erected in England—has col (aimed, anil it is expected Unit tile whole building will have to como down. Lomlic worked as a silk weaver in Italy, and at the risk of his life made drawings of the. machinery. He then returned to Eng land, bringing some Italian workmen, and built the factory on an island in the Derwent, having first patented ‘ the ma chinery. He died soon afterward, and it is said lie was poisoned by a female emissary of tho Italian manufacturers. The mill was worked for many years, but lias long been in disuse. It was lust utilized as a steam laundry, and wns condemned some years since as being un safe.— Galignaui Messenger. Don't Show Your Collar Uutlau. It is desirable that a cravat or four-in- hand shonld be held firmly np against the tabs of a collar. The collar button never shonld be seen. With a cravat this may be accomplished by drawing the first knot firm. With a four-in-hand it may be accomplished by first tying a firm simple knot before making the four- in-hand movement.—Clothier and Fnr- PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR. P. A. THOMAS, Physician and Surgeon.
