and sometimes even later. This is insuTera-
BILE. My rules require ''gas out at nine"
Another lights his gas early in the morn
ings. This is insuferable.
Still worse, there are three who stay in the
house frequently all the evening. This is in
sufierable, as our family fill the sitting-room,
and they cannot endure the restraint of a
strangers presence.
Our boarders have the privilege of staying
out as late as they wish-each is provided
with key, which he uses as freely as if in his

Another had the insolence to ask for "cofIee
made of Coffee for which he would pay extra.
l Immediately invited him to Ieave-even
though he had paid some weeks in advance.
Of course, he meant to be insolent when he
took that mode of keeping his position in our
happy home. To think of man telling me
how to cook in my own house might as
well have lady boarders as suffer that.
One gentleman imagined he had a cold, and
wanted fire in his room. l parted with him,
telling him hotel was the place for man
that must keep his room, and have his visitors
rushing up stairs two and three in an evening.
Our carpets are too nice for such abuse. So
his room is vacant.
A few have learned-after much limiting
from different members of the family-to dis
appear Immediately after tea, and to slip
quietly into the house when they come home.
They have also learned at last not to sit long
at table, nor help themselves twice to butter
They also appear at table punctually or do
not come at all, there being plenty of restau-
rants in the neighbOrhood.
My rules require 'aH those ooho are not on the
spot in FIVE MINUTES after bell ringing, to defer
appearing at table till merit meal"

much good to young men, and also put doing
good in the power of your subscriber.

WASHINGTON, D, C.

The Management, in returning thanks to the
sporting public for the very liberal patronage
bestowed upon their House the past winter,
take this opportunity to announce that, pre-
viously to closing their Establishment for the
season, there will be brought on the boards
an entirely new series of Entertainments be-
fitting the occasion, written by gentleman of
the New York Press.
The House having been entirely reftted and
refurnished with pens, pencils, and penlnives
at the commencement of the season, it is now
one of the most
COMFORTABLE PLACES OF AMUSEMENT
in this city.
The closing night is not yet fixed upon, but
as the principal Star Performer is engaged

it is desirable that the public should manifest
their appreciation of him by

versal desire of the public to he made

What is "One-Morses Power 20

The use of the term g horsepower is very
common yet few, except good mechanics and
engineers, attach definite meaning to it, but
regard it as indicating loosely, about the
power, which enc horse could exert. 1t is,
however, when used in the sense under con-
sideration, as definite as possible, and means
the power required to lift 33, 600 pounds
avoirdupois one foot high in one minute. A
horse hitched to the end Of a rope over
pulley one foot in diameter placed over a
deep we'll, travelling at the rate of about =
miles per hour, or 22O feet per minute, will
draw up $50 lbs, the same distance he tray
els The force thus exerted is called in me-
chanics, g horsepower, it being an approx
imation to the average amount of continuous
power it is fair to demand Of strong horse.
If we multiply the weight raised 150
pounds) by the number Of feet it was moved
per minute (220,) the product will be the
number of pounds which the same power
would raise one foot high in the same length
Of time (33, 900 pounds.) The dynamome-
ter is an instrument made for measuring
power, particularly that exerted in drawing.
Those used for testing the draft of agricultu-
raj implements are simply very strong spring
balances, or spring steelyards, graduated to
indicate the power required to raise any
weight within reasonable limit, at the rate Of
q miles per hour: When we apply the dy-
namometer in ascertaining the draught Of
machines, if the iudex indicates $50 pounds,
it is shown that the horse isrequired to draw
just as hard as he would do if raising $50
pounds out Of well with rope over pull
ley one foot in diameter at the rate p miles
per hour, and 50 for other weights The We
locity at which team moves is to be consid-
cred, as well as the weight to raised, or the
load to be drawn IF the horse travels fas-
ter than q miles per hour, while raising $50
pounds out of a well, he exerts more than
onc-horse power. If he walks slower than
this, he does not exert force equal to one
horse power In ascertaining the draught
of plough, or mower and reaper, by draw
ing faster than q miles per hour, the dyna-
mometcr would indicate more than the cor
rect draught: and by driving slower, the
draught would appear to be less than it real
ly is. In testing the draft Of machines
team should always move at the rate of p
miles per hour, or 220 feet per minute, which
is the universally accepted rate, with refer
ence to which thermometers are graduated,
and an easy one to which to approximate in
driving with almost any kind Of team

THOUGHTS AND FANCIES.


When you haveIiyed your given span,
And had your need of glory,
Enjoyed in living all you can,
And told life's curious story
And chimed your last faint hollow strain,
Within your mortal chamber,
How much Of pleasure, joy or pain,
Heart will you remember?
Is there thought whose hallowed fire,
Escaping into ether,
J. Shall watch this sinking frame expire,
And float through time and weather?
Is there pang which mortals earn,
Whose cold phosphoric ember,
Along thy Wondering names shall burn,
IN deaths distempered chamber?
The flowers that bloom, the winds that blow,
Are these but dreams Elysian?-
The joys that come, the hopes that go,
But born to Intuition?
Has love no pure and fadeless bloom,
Whose cherished, sweet remembrance
Shall like charnal lamp illume
The silent vaulted chamber
The whitening skull-the bones that bleach
Corruption may inherit;
But what sepulchral gloom can reach
The wild and chainless spirit?
And where, on yonder scattering wind,
That roams this dark December,
Shall float this houseless waif ofmind
when sealed her mortal chamber
Toward Heaven Heaven pale and placid blue
Were mockery to such spirit;
Her Polar seas which roll unto
That calm which they inherit.
Of world, or void, then-wind or sea,
Or sunrise reddening ember,
Thou dancing phantom Ger the lea,
How much shalt thou remember?

Snow IN THE SoUTH.-The people of New
Orleans were astonished by fall of snow
last week, and their papers thus describes
it, as an extraordinary event:
New Orleans wore quite novel appear
ance yesterday, draped in its snow garb.-
Fifteen years have passed since snow was
seen in our city. At an early hour in the
morning we assembled to the top Of the City
Hall. On the roof of this building the snow
was from two to three inches in depth:
Reaching tie highest pinnacle, we strained
our eyes in every direction. A heavy blue
vapor hung over the city, and feathcry flakes
of snow fell thick and fast around u.s.
This greatly circumscribed our vision
Such portions Of the city as we could see pre-
sented an cid appearance. A white pail
seemed to mantle everything. The clerk of
the weather during our slumbers had dropped
sheet over us and neglected furnishing
blanket. This was certainly cold comfort
such night Since the beginning of the
present century, snow has fallen over this
region as follows 1808-In December snow
fell for the first time during. twenty years
1S17-Snow again fell. 1922 January / ',
snow fell to considerable depth. 1881

THE FAMOUS SAYINGS OF JEMsnED.-Tho
first was: God has no partner in his wis
dom; doubt not, therefore, though thou IN
derstand not
The second Greatness followeth no man,
but goeth before him and he that is assidu-
GUS shall oyertake fortune.
The third was written; Hope is always
as much better than fear, as courage is suQc-
rior to cowardice.
The fourth was: Seek not so much To-
know thy enemies as friends, for where one
man has fallen by foes, a hundred have been
ruined by acquaintance.
The fifth He that telleth thee that thou
art always wrong may be deceived but he
that sayeth that thou art always right, IL
surely a liar.
The sixth Justice came from Gods wis
dom, but mercy from his love- therefore, as
thou hast not wisdom, be pitiful to merit his
affection.
The seventh Man is mixed with virtues
and vices; love his virtues in others, bat all
hor his vices in thyself.
The eighth: Seek not for faults, but seek
diligently for beauties; for the thorns are
easily found after the roses are faded.
