The Life Of Iron.

A SCIENTIFIC paper, discoursing on
"The Life of an Iron Bridge" remarks /:
II sounds little oddly to hear of the life
of an inanimate thing But it seems to be
pretty well settled that things inanimate as
well as animate, have life periods, varying
according to circumstances. Thus iron
itself, when wrought into certain useful
things, has period beyond which it can
not be said to have life sufficient for the
purpose for which it was wrought 1t is
not simply liable to be used up by wear
and tear but also to lose its tenacity and
elasticity, and to be disintegrated and
weakencd-in short, to lose its life and be
come useless long before it is worn out,
and even when not worn at all. For eX-
ample, a wrought iron girder bridge can
bear only certain amount of daily use,
without rapid depreciation of strength. 1t
must have seasons of rest from strain,
just as an animal requires rest, and its life
depends on these. If subjected to heavy
strain, often repeated, with little interven.
ing rest, its life will be proportionately
less than 1t would be under other circum.
stances, The Engineer has gone into Ger
tain calculations to show how long a
wrought iron bridge may be expected t.
live, under given circumstances And il
comes to the conclusion that sucha bridge
subject at intervals to a dynamical load
no. exceeding fourth part of its powers
| OF ultimate resistance-that is to say, not
subjected to this strain more than one hun.
dred times in twenty-four hours-may be
safe to travel for about 32S years. But, as
many of the hardest worked iron railroad
bridges are subject to thrice this number
of daily strains, the conclusion reached is,
that n girder bridge cannot he safely
counted ON for more than one hundred
years. These calculations, If reliable
and we see not why they may not be-are
very important for all users of iron sub
ject to heavy strains. They tend tn show
that thing may be as strong as the best
iron can make it, and yet be subject to loss
of strength and life even without wear.

Has the summer EnfeebIcd You9

Nine out of ten to whom this question is ad-
dressed if they answer it candidly, will answer it
in the Affirmative. Some may reply to 1t from
sick bed; others, of a stronger constitution and
greater powers of endurance, may only expert
ence a slight lassitude as the consequence of the
torrid season But some portion OF the vitality of
all human beings oozes out Of them under the
pressure Of great and continuous heat, and the
sooner the loss is completely repaired the less
susceptible will the system be to the unhealthy
influence of the FAN malaria.
The most genial and wholesome tonic that has
ever been offered to man-as means OF recruit
ing his exhausted strength, and fortifying him
against the attacks of disease-is HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. Taken at this seaser It is
a perfect safeguard against intermittent fever,
bilious affections, and all the epidemics which
follow close upon the expiration of the Summer.
It is an invigoraDt and Alternative, without any Of
the drawbacks which attach to mere stimulants
and is the only preparation of the kind which
conscientious physician would feel inclined to

saving Grass Seeds.


WHEN farmer Goes not raise his own
seed, unless he know by whom, when ana
where IL was raised, and how 1t was saveo,
he has no assurance that it is good seed.
Thousands of bushels Of grass seed are
saved, sold and sowed, not one kernel OF
which ever vegetates, simply because 1t
was not properly saved. Some farmers
allow their grass to mature before cutting
II for hay. Ifthe heads and pauicles be
well filled with seed, the crop is some
times thrashed before feeding it to stock
Sometimes box racks collect large guam
tity of seed, which is shelled while the
animals are feeding. Such seed, however
Is seldom of any excellent quality, and
sometimes it is utterly unfit to SOW even
on the borders of the highway, as oxeye
daisy seed, Johns wort, dock and many
other seeds of noxious weeds may be found
among the grass seed. Were it pracii-
cable To separate such seed from grass seed,
the latter would not be so Objectionable,
in case its vitality had not been injured by
the heating ofthe hay in the NOV. The
vitality of grass seed Is often destroyed in
this manner. If there is thick bottom OF
green grass when the crop is cut, the mois-
ture is not always dried out of it before the
hay is stacked, consequently sufficient heat
will be generated in the NOW or stack to
destroy the vitality of every germ, al
though to the naked eye the seed may ap-
pear good. These suggestions will be suf-
iicient to impress every farmer with the
| Importance of saving his own grass seed
| with care-NeD York Times.

A Watering Place Incident.

AN exchange gives the following &C
count of burglarious encounter which
recently occurred at fashionable water
ing-place:
1t seems Madam, who is of rather a
timid disposition, was suddenly walked
from her sleep by slight noise in her
room, which was repeated close at her
bedside; giving her husband, who was
slumbering soundly at her side, n tremen.
dous pinch, she whispered "Charles,
Charles, wake up there's burglar stand
ing right up by my bedside"
Charles did wake up, and seeing the
outline of dark figure bending over to-
wards him from the opposite side of the
bed, dealt It sudden back handed blow,
with such effect that it landed backwards,
with crash on the chamber floor, while
the room resounded with his wife's shrieks
of "thieves help MURDER the burglar ;
he's killed me-" &c, and the husband
sprang TO his feet and grasped a chair,
just as the chamber door was burst in by
porter, with a candle, and two gentle
men whom he was escorting to their rooms.
There lay the lady PROSTATE with blood
streaming from her nose, and the husband
stood fiercely brandishing chair he was
unceremoniously disarmed by the new
comers. "Ain't you ashamed to be tightin
with your wife, you rufflan."
Fighting with my wife; what do you
meanY knocked over burglar, just
now, who was leaning over my bed, try
ing 70 steal my watch"
"Oh dear no, Charles, that was me sit
ting up in bed" sobbed the lady land |
thought 1t was the burglar that struck me
with a club"
The true state of the case began to be
apparent the would-be rescuers hastily
Withdrew, as it was evident they were the
only ones who Had broken into the apart
ment; but they were obliged to give vent
to their feelings in shout of laughter, as
the door closed behind them, which was
anything but satisfactory response to the
throng of halfdressed people, who, arous-
ed 10y the alarm, were Fastening to the
scene of action.

person of gallant soldier worthy of her
personal and pecuniary charms, but the
family of the fair widow were opposed to
the match, and determined to place every
stumbling block in the course of the lady's
love. The last grand effort they attempted
was to have a legal guardian appointed
over her and her property, and application
was made in the Court of Probate to that
end. The young widow was summoned

with this necessity came her executive
