A writer in The Chicago News gives the result of an exjx-riment, showing that the instinct of children has in it, not only a love for recreation of a choice sort, hut a sanitary common sense. A number of swings were suspended at a summer home for children; and near by were slung two dozen hammocks. The latter were almost always full, but the swings rarely were in use. The hammock is the most natural invention to give perfect restand ease to the whole body, with a delicious sense of motion and activity Every home should have several hammocks swung under trees, f<>r tho use of both adults and children. It will tend greatly to relieve tho strain of every (lav toil, find so sweeten the intercourse of its members.—Globe-Democrat. How to Enjoy Life. To enjoy life does not mean going or staying. If you can watch a tree grow ing, a flower blooming or the blue sky deejwning; if you can listen to a goose squawking along a dusty lane, to a pul let cackling over a first egg, to a sleepy child crooning herself to sleep with a lit tle tune; if you can watch a cow licking her calf, a young mother suckling her babe, and take a big interest in all these things, feeling in the marijnv of you their meaning and that they are a true part of life's sweetness and simplicity, why then I think you may truly answer •‘Yes, oh yes,” when one questions you ‘‘Do you enjoy life, good sir?” It is not a good habit to be bored of tilings, to cultivate ennui. Every day the sun comes up and shines, and hearts lieat and people are lx>rn. and some die and some marry and some hate and more love, so who are you and what are you to strut around like a fool of a tur key gobbler the week lief ore Thanksgiv ing and say you are bored and life is toe dull for your palate? After all you fill no more space than a fool takes on the sidewalk or under the green grass: so be careful how you venture to draw about you a circle of exclusiveness. Be careful bow you fall inro the wav of thinking the earth was made for you. Do not. insist, as many Hellish people do, on going through the world with an air cushion upon which you may sit in luxurious ease, while there are only stony benches for the rest of poor mortality.—Catharine Cole in New Orleans Picavune. COLE’S SEED COTTON ELEVATOR French Inspection of Rutter. Among the recent decrees made in France is one relating to the inspection of butter for the repression of fraudulent dealings. By this special persons are authorized to take samples of butter in any place, whether tho butter is exposed for sale, stored in a warehouse or in transit by land or water. Each sample taken is to l>e subject to a special exam ination. Pure butter, mixed butter, margarine, oleomargarine and grease in tended for consumption, in transit, must be contained in closed packages, and the origin and nature of the merchandise must be conspicuously specilied thereon. —Chicago llerald. Death in Court Plaster. “Isinglass court plaster” is a material most j>lentcourtly pregnant for evil. It furnishes an ideal atmosphere and pabu lum for bacteria, and has sent many an unfortunate to the ground. It is ques tionable whether it can be disinfected 60 as to be safe. Phlegmon, pseudo and true erysipelas are its mewt usual com panions; its most frequent victim being tiio accomodating and officious person (or his friends) who carries it about his person for emergencies, and who dispen ses it with a “lick and a stick.”—Dr. A. It. Jenkins in The Annals o( Surgery. Disposition of tho Dead. The disposition of the dead is attract- g much attention in England. The i question is being agitated by the English | Burial Reform association. During late ; years there has been more or less discus- i sion on this topic. The objection to the ! present mode of burial is based on two I grounds. First, the sanitary reason, and ; second, the financial cost. As funerals j are managed in the present time they are | expensive and fail with much weight ; upon the poor, who are as fond of mani festing their respect for tho dead by largo funerals as are tho rich. A medical authority in London declares that the average cost every year for burying the dead in England and Wales alone is $25,000,000. This would make the average expense of every funeral about $50. In the United States it cannot be any less. The sanitary objection is based upon the reports of sanitary authorities that communities living in the neigh liorhood of graveyards suffer from ailments to which those who live a distance from the place of burial are strangers. Disraeli, in the house of lords, for this reason urged that all the God's acres in Great Britain should bo closed. These reasons are making many converts to cremation. The best evideneo of the growth of this idea is to be found in the strength of the International Cremation congress, which was held about a year ago in Milan. The roll included representatives from every part of the civilized world.—De troit Free Press. By Rail in England. When traveling by rail in England you are not only looked after by the officials with great care (for you are under a “parental government’ q, but by law you are not allowed to be careless; in fact, it is a criminal act to injure yourself, even by accident. In many cases you are locked in the coaches so that you cannot leave the train while it is in motion, but if the door should be unlocked, and you jump out lx-fore the proper time, or if you attempt to board a train after it has started, you are arrested and liable to a heavv fine.—Home Journal. Luch Saved the Trains. Efflclonoj’ of French Detectives. The French detective force is organized on the plan of the survival of the highest efficiency, and no clearer recognition of this fact can be found than is shown in the circumstance that whereas French forgers, highwaymen, burglars and hom icides who are able to reach the city of London in security usually enjoy Immu nity from arrest while they remain there, hardly a case is known of a professional criminal from England who ever sought or obtained refuge in Paris.—New York •Sun. Nova Scotia’s "Fairy Bocks." The Smithsonian Institution at Wash ington has sent an expedition to Nora Scotia aiul secured fae-si miles of the “fairy rocks,” on which are curious hieroglyphic characters, evidently very old, which may throw some light on the history of tho early discoveries of Amer ica. The markings are cut in upon a rock of highly polished slate, and the intaglio is abemt a sixteenth of an inch J eep.—Boston Budget. I remember some t ears ago when I had charge of trains on a southern road, where telegraph offices were few and far tietween. of giving an order to the oper ator at a certain station to hold the north l>ound passenger train for orders, so that I might help the south bound passenger train to make its meeting point, the latter being somewhat late. The operator re peated the holding order, for which I gave him O. K. I tlien gave tho south bound train an order to nee some of the north bound train’s time to make the meeting point. Instead of holding the north bound train for orders the oper ator let it go by him. The road was crooked, and as both trains were be tween telegraph stations I started to walk the floor and wait until I should hear of their coming together. The suspense was terrible, almost unlltting me for my other duties. As good luck would have it, the north bound train, which had undisputed right of the road, was delayed before reaching the meeting point. When the first train reached a telegraph station I felt relieve-1. lait the strain had been so terrible on my nerves that I was not good for much for several days, and the expe rience of that morning will ever remain in my mind.—Train Dispatcher in Globe- Democrat.

Probably the most difficult task in the nstruetion of a story is the monage- ?nt of conversations, so that tire indi- iuality of the dramatis personae may t- be hopelessly mixed. The author ist keep each character definitely before ; mind’s eve, so that he may see it as ainctlv as he would an intimate friend i bodied in the flesh. — Virginia G. El- d in The Writer. Origin of Steam Power. The first records we have of steam being applied as a motive power are found in a manuscript entitled, “Spirit- alia Sen Pneuinatica. ” written about 200 years B. L'.. by Hero, a learned piiiloso- pher of Alexandria. In it' he describes a little instrument which he calls an “feohpiie" or "wind ball.” It consists of a hollow ball of metal supported on trunnions, and hav ing a number of jets lient at right angles and equally distant from the points of support. Steam is admitted into the bail through one of the trunnions, anil as soon as it is introduced it issues violent!}' from the mouth of each jet, making a noise like the rushing of the wind, and hence i its name. On the opposite side of each jet it presses without being able to escape, and this unbalanced pressure makes the gk>be revolve, giving up a form of rotary engine by winch machinery can be set in ! motion. | The first really practical steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen, a blacksmith of Dartmouth, England, and was put in operation in pumping out mines alxmt 1711.—“J.
