A SONG OF REST. Oh, Bins me a sons of evening, ‘ a song of peace and rest, •Who.., ' iry with useless flying. Tin- v :■ i irils seek the nest; When th 1 . ips of Lome are lighted, And those we love draw nigh, And overhead the kindly stars Arc :oiling in the sky. The day has been dark and dreary. The shadow's fall thick and fast. And 1 : ;. iimUsand my heart are weary From battling with the blast; And now as the shades of evening Creep darkly o’er the land, I sigh for a breath of peace and rest Ami the touch of a friendly hand. My though!s turn back in the twilight. To scenes long passed away, labor When fre from the thrall of I wandered in childish play; I see the % i*ftclad doorway, Where oft my mother stood. And the thoughts of a home I know no more Gome o’er me like a flood. Then sing me a song of evening. Of peaceful love and rest; I am weary of useless striving And X long for the sheltering nest. The rugged shadows of evening Are lilling all the land. And I sigh for a breath of love and rest And the touch of a mother’s hand. —Mortimer O. Brown in Yankee Blade. Educating Mutes by a New Method. The method of analyzing motion by the chronophotograph which has been “applied in the case of moving animals, such as horses running or birds and in¬ sects in flight, has been employed by a French physiological professor to ex¬ amine the movements of the lips in speaking. The results obtained show that the form cf the mouth is quite definite for the different articulate sounds. With the photographs made com¬ bined in a zoetrope the movements of the lips by synthesis can bo produced. An ordinary person finds it difficult to read the words by the animated pic¬ tures, but a deaf mute, who has been accustomed to read from the lips of a speaker, finds it easy to do so from the photographs. This was actually proved by experiment. A young pupil of the National Insti¬ tute of Deaf Mutes could read the vowels and diphthongs us well as the labials. It was t ) Ot xpected that the first results of these experiments should be somewhat Incomplete, but they were so encouraging that M. Demeny, who was the first to call attention to the possibilities in this direction, ex¬ pires- ns the hope that in continuing his researches he will be able to develop a new method of educating deaf mutes by sight by mere photographic images. -New York Telegram. To He Decided Hater. Judge Greene, of the state of ---, ii a good lawyer, and somewhat of e trickier for niceties of pronunciation, Ex-Judge Dennison, in arguing a mo¬ tion before him, had occasion to refer to Browne on Torts, and pronounced the authors name as though it were upelled “Browny.” The judge passed first mistake without notice; at the aecond he shrugged his shoulders; ai the third he said, “The name is Brown, mo* Browny, it‘is Brother Dennison.” “But spelled B-r-o-w-n-o,” said the counsel, in Ills very deep and ureas* uml tones; “and if that does not spell Browny, what does it spell?” “ ‘Brown,’ of course,” sharply an swered the judge, whose patience was becoming ruffled. but' “My name is spelled O r double e-n-e, you would not oall me ‘Greeny.’ would you?” Mr. Dennison turned to his hooka, saying apparently to himself, but loud enough to be heard all over the court room: “That will depend upon how your honor decides this motion. ” Judge Greene loved a joke too well Xiot to lead in the laugh that followed. —Harper's. Expert Smeller*. 3o expert have the perfumery chemist* become that they can, with their dif ferent odors, counterfeit exactly tfU odor of any flower. The educated nose is not without its advantages financial¬ ly. The possessor of one not only earns u large salary in the perfumery busi¬ ness, but is often able to add to his in tome by giving expert testimony in law suits involving patented perfumes. A notable instance occurred a short while ago. il ne firm sued another for imitating one of its patented brands. Four ex¬ perts were called in, and each was re¬ quired to distinguished between the genuine article and the imitation. All lour wrote their opinion on a slip of papier and handed it to the judge. The slips of paper all agreed.—New York Evening Sun. The modern method of stereotyping _ with tlie use of a paper matrix has created a new industry in the stereo typing of daily newspapers, and made It possible to print a large number for quick delivery. This gives employ mem to many workmen not heretofore employed tn the production of news papers. _____ Boulanger w once under contract wtli an American ’imn nyir to make a -lecture tour of the United States, but vu ^Tuirfl from the nn m it hr the Qeoheart dUsea The Divinities of India. “The gates of the Hindoo Pantheon are never shut,” Sir John Strachey ha. finely observed. The truth of the re mark is likely to receive a curious illus tration In the results of the census in the Northwest provinces and Oude. A novelty of the census was a separate classification for the various sects of Hindoos and Mahometans. Sect, how ever, implies a definite religious creed. with distinctive tenets, from which a limited number of schismatics iiave di verged; but so far as Hindooisru Is concerned, at all events, we have no such creed, and if we are to apply the term sect to the heterogeneous groups of worshipers who call themselves Hin¬ doos we must materially modify its ordinary signification. As a matter of fact, the census enu¬ merators found that the ordinary Hin¬ doo did not know what was meant when he was asked what his sect was. All he could say was the particular god he worshiped. The consequence is that the census papers are crowded with a vast number of tribal and local gods and deities, many of which have never been heard of before, and will In all probability never be heard 01 . again. —Pioneer. Taking Advantage of a Mother's Love. Captain Scoresbv relates a strik¬ ing instance of the affection of ri whale for its young. One of his har pooners struck a “sucker,” as the calves are generally called, and in a few moments the mother rose close to the boat. Seizing the young one, she dragged out of the boat about 600 feet of the line and disappeared beneath the water. Rising again she darted furi¬ ously to and fro, frequently stopping short and suddenly changing her di¬ rection. For a long time she acted in this manner, and so solicitous was she for the welfare of her offspring that she seemed totaiiy oblivious to any danger to herself. One of the boats finally approached near enough to allow a harpoon to be thrown at the dam. After two failures one of the instruments struck her, but she made no attempt to escape, but on the contrary allowed three other boats to gather about her, and was event¬ ually killed without any further resist¬ ance.—Detroit Free Press. , Fruits for lonng Children The subject of fruits is one which de¬ serves more than a pacing notice, gome parents would witlmold them al together from their children until after the second year. This is a very good general rule, but it will admit of ex¬ ceptions. It is an undeniable fact that some of them are most wholesome foods, and the earlier children can be accustomed to them the better. Very man y even before the y are two y Sar9 old can safel v tako > and ar0 much bon ‘ - e ®^ ed b y- ^ ue J u * ces s ' vee h mehow £mit Cbildren also frequently suffer bam babb ' ia l constipation, and these iuices act far better than meaicinal remedies. Notwithstanding all this, the giving to children before they are two y ears o!d should be very guarded. and b,1 iited to the juices of those which aro positively fresh, known also to be easb - disposed of ui the system and no£ hkely m cause diarrhea. As a chi]d approaches its third year, its al lowance of fresh fruits may be more t r e»erous, due care being invariably nsed bl D'eir selection; still, modera f;on should be the rule, for intemper ife indulgence in even the most digest able fruits is quite sure to be followed by unpleasant, if not serious conse quences. Those fruits which are very acid, and require much sugar to make them pal¬ atable, should be withheld. Oranges, apples and peaches, if perfectly ripe and sound, may be occasionally allow¬ ed, unless, of course, there is an irrita¬ bility of the stomach and bowels. are less digestible than these, but thoroughly ripe can do no harm if no* cot freely indulged in.—Boston Herald. on, neie l am in the land of cotton.

If not already separate the sawdust of hard and soft woods must be separated, be¬ cause the former requires a heat of 7.00 legs. centigrade, whereas 500 degs. cen tigrade suffice for carbonizing the lat ter. Carbonization, which lasts about an hour, is effected in fireclay, plumbago •or cast iron retorts of about GOO cubic inches capacity. But . is to this process the sawdust oe sifted, first through a coarse screen to remove splinters and extraneous matter and then through a fine sieve which only permits passage of the actual wood dust with the adherent calcareous mat ter. The product of carbonization must again be sifted to get rid of this calcareous matter which has become detached during the process, when it will, if the operation lias been carefully performed, resist the action of hydro¬ chloric acid. —Manufacturer. Even tlie Gods May Nod. Residence in Boston does not of itself argue the possession of culture, as a re¬ cent Chicago man proved to his own intense satisfaction. The major bad much fun with the conductor of the “grip” or cable car, which he boarded at State street “This car to Washington street?” he asked meekly of the conductor. The latter took his little dog whistle from between his lips only long enough to re,’ ply “Certs'^ and then placed the whistle back there again. The abruptness of this response to a civil inquiry encour aged the major to again test the con¬ ductor's vocabulary, which he did with the following result; “I believe the fare is five cents?” “Correct.” “May I smoke on this seat?” “Sure.” “I believe State rirvwt parallel? th a lake?” “Bet yer life.” “Does this ear go near the Union depot?” “Nixey.” The conductor blew his whistle and punched up his fares, all unconscious of the sport the major was enjoying at his expense.—Boston Traveller. ^ IIow Some Men Made Money. Peter Cooper had a hard time of it getting an education. He was born in New York 100 years ago, and at the age of seventeen was apprenticed to a shoemaker. He tried his hand at sev¬ eral trades, and got together a com¬ fortable fortune of about $6,000,000 through unremitting toil, conscien¬ tious devotion to duty and economical habits. August Belmont came to New York poor, and lived to be worth some mil¬ lions. '^Prudence, acuteness and sagac ity were the instruments by which his wealth was accumulated. His success¬ ful career is an illustration of the fact that this country affords a fine oppor¬ tunity for the intelligence, thrift and industry not only of native Americans but of the republic’s adopted citizens. Austin Corbin began in moderate circumstances. He took up the study of the law, but soon forsook that field for the financial world. He is a man of strict probity, energetic and genial. He has piled up his millions by con stent effort and attention to all the lit¬ tle details of liis profession. Cyrus W. Field has been termed a locomotive in trousers. The simile carves to convey an idea of the indefat¬ igable energy of the man. Vice President Morton received his business training in the dry goods trade. Then he became a banker. In hit youth he had to shift for himself. Ne¬ cessity is the stimulus that men of real ability require. —Henry Clews in Ladies’ Home Journal. One very great mistake which people make is not using enough light. There is a popular delusion that a good, bright light hurts the eyes. A good, strong, bright light is almost always the proper thing. Even in cases of weak, sore or inflamed eyes it is better to have plenty of light. The eyes should at such times have as much light as can possibly be borne, and the cure will go on all the more rapidly. But for the eyes that are not sore or inflamed the way to keep them well and to increase their strength is to give them all the light possible. The brighter the light tlie more the eye will be de¬ veloped and strengthened, Weak uesses and disabilities of the eyes from overuse are often seen, but a good, bright, strong light does not usually do wiy harm. It tends to do good, create health and give strength. — Loudon Sit-Bite. ^3^^J«Er)iciNE, J-^AK-r' iX' Ei» ,“^1 TfJfiWfTs fa U :‘ | n-Hi "'*Wl ■: ' V. W , , : B : 'W< :- '~S.
