WHAT THE WIND
SAYS.—" DO you know what
the December wind says, grandpa ?" asked a little child at
an old merchant's knee. "No, puss ; what does it," he
answered, stroking her fair hair. "Remember, the poor !
grandpa. When it comes down the chimney, it roars,
'Remember the poor.' When it puts its great mouth to
the heyhole, it whistles, 'Remember the poor.' When it
strides through a crack in the door, it whispers it ; and
grandpa, when it blows your beautiful silver hair about in
the street, and you shiver and button up your coat, does
it not get at your ear and say so too, in a still, small voice,
grandpa?" " Why, what does the child mean ?" cried
grandpa, who, I am afraid, had been used to shut his heart
against such words. "You want a new muff and tippet,
I reckon. A pretty way to get them out of your old
grandpa ?" "No, grandpa," said the child, earnestly
shaking her head; "no it's the no-muff-and-tippet chil-
dren I'm thinking of ; my mother always remembers them,
and so do I try to." After the next storm the old mer-
chant sent fifty dollars to the treasurer of a relief society,
and said, "Call for more when you want it." The trea-
surer stared with surprise, for it was the first time he had
ever collected more than a dollar from him, and that, he
thought, came grudgingly." "Why," said the rich mer-
chant, afterwards, "I could never get rid of that child's
words ; they stuck like glue."
MANUFACTURE 07 TURPENTINE.—In April last
year a process of preparing turpentine and acetic, acid from
pine wood was patented. A company has boon organised,
and is now engaged in manufacturing these articles. Their
establishment is at Monk's Corner, in Charleston district,
South,r,
pitch, Carolina, and
i s
as be y
successful operation.
Ia
one knows, are, or
hithertoree
from Lave
which by wounding the living
tree,
andturpentine,
evie n r
exudes, and is then caught in
vessels, while the pitch and turpentine are the results of
whh been,
the procuredgu m
distillation. The new process, distillation, is applied to
the wood of the pine trees, and is destructive of the wood,
and the results are spirits of turpentine, pitch, and acetic
acid. One cord of pine wood, it is estimated, will yield 50
gallons of spirits of turpentine (the volatile oil), two bar-
rels of pitch, and twelve pounds of acetic acid. This dis-
covery is destined to produce important changes in this
extensive branch of industry; and in this it will affect
mainly the parties now engaged in it, but ultimately it
must so bring down the prices of these articles as to make
it an important item to the commercial world, and to those
branches of manufacture that depend upon these articles
for material or that produce them from other sources.
At a recent meeting of the Academy of Natural
Sciences of California Professor Blake exhibited about 20
fossil vertebra) of what he believes to have been a groat
marine saurian, or crocodile. These bones aro each about
four inches long and three in diameter, and, together with
teeth of sharks and other remains, were found in Tulare
Valley, 3,500 feet above the ocean.
