OxYGEN-Every method devised by
which oxygen or oxygenized air may
be cheaply supplied possesses great
scientific interest. Professor Graham,
of London, has succeeded in increasing
the amount of oxygen in the air by, as
it were, filteriug it through fine leaves
of Indiarubber. By this treatment he
has succeeded in adding thirty six,
forty and forty-six per cent. of oxygen
to the air. When air contains as high
as forty-six per cent. of oxygen, it will
reignite glowing taper. This is a
most important discovery. and, if prac-
ticable upon large scale, must be of
great service in the arts. Supply us
with air containing forty-six per cent.
oxygen, at trifling cost, and we have in
our hands one Of the most importan,
agents of good it is possible to conceive
of. With it we can add to our gas
light a high degree of illuminating
power. aud, by promoting more perfect
combustion, save immensely in fuel in
heating our buildings.

BUsYBoDIEs.-AmOug the large sec
ton of humanity whose sirongly-marked
idiosyncrasies and oddities distinguish
them into distinct classes and kinds o.
people, busy bodies hold no nnimportanr
place. Busybodies are characterized by
an Unsuitable appetite for intermeddlipg
with the affairs of other people; by an
irresistible impulse to thrust, not simply
their finger, but their whole fist, into
everybody else's pie. They are gifted
with such vast energies and sucn wide
sympathies that their own private and
peculiar concerns by no means afford a
sufficient scope for their exercise, and
they therefore seek wider field in man
aging the concerns of their friends, or
of the world at large. In every under.
taking you may have in hand, from the
cooking of a potato to .he choice Of
vocation for life, they are sure to mix
themselves up-advising or warning,
forwarding or retarding, approving or
MISUNDERSTANDING themselves into
the most prominent position, and insis-
ting on directing the whole matter. You
cannot make purchase, or get married,
or send your children to a school, or
enter into a business, or invest CAPT
tall or build house, or in, short,
mind your own business in any way
without their interference They know
all about it; they know howit should
be done; they know the best place TO
make your purchase, or the best way to
chose partner, the merits of a school
or business, the worth of an investment
or the proper manner in which to set
about building; and unless you adopt
their advice, and are willing to act ac-
cording TO their direction, you need not
hope to succeed.
If you venture to rejec: their inter
ference, and prefer following your own
judgment and managing your own bus,
mess yourself, they assume all the airs
of injured snd much abused individ-
nails. And if your undertaking should

A Cattle DECISION. - In Illinois
lately Judge Gillespie, of the St. Clair
Circuit Court, decided that the power
to regulate commerce cannot be exer-
cised by State Legislature; and that,
therefore, the law prohibiting the inn
portation of Texas cattle into Illinois
is unconstitutional. The Legislature
has no more right to prohibit Texas
cattle than it has to prohibit Louisi'
ana sugar or Connecticut clocks.

three Bugs.
BY ALICE CAREY.

Z
Three little bugs in a basket, .f
And hardly room for twol .or 81 bsefH
And one was yellow, and one was black,
And one like me or you. ga" 'l.a
The space was small, no doubt, for all roo
But what could three bugs do2 @
Three little bugs in a basket, a. ase3a7s(
And hardly crumbs tor two; sei =
And all were selfish in their hearts,
The same as I or you.
The strong ono said, ,t'We'll ca. the bread.
And that is what we'll do"
Three little bugs in basket,
And the beds but two would hold;
So they all three fell to quarreling-
The white, the black, and gold;
And two of the bugs went under the rugs,
And one was out in the cold.
II i Il ID x ~
So he that was left in the basket, sAF-
Without q crumb to chew,
Or q thread to wrap himself withal, .vr
When the wind across him blew,
Pulled one OF the rugs from one of the bugs,
And so ihe quarrel grew
And so there was war in the basket,
pity tits, tits truel
But that be was frozen and starved at last
a strength from his weakness drew,
And pulled the rugs from both the bugs,
And Killed and ate them, too
Now, when bugs live in n basket,
Though more than it well can hold,
1t seems to me they had better agree
The white, the black, and the gold
Ard share what comes of beds and crumbs,
And leave no bugs in the cold

SMALLEST STEAM ENGINE

SMALLEST STEAM ENGINE.-A writer
in London periodical thus describes
most minute model of the engines of the
iron-clad steamship, Warrior, made by
Thomas Smith This tiniest working
model in the world is now in the possession
of John Penn, the eminet maker of the
great engines of which it is the infinitely
reduced counterpart. 1t win stand on a
silver threepenny piece it really covers
less space, for its base-plate measures only
three-eights of an inch by about three
tenths. The engines are of the trunk
form introduced by Penn the cylinders
measure one-eighth of an inch diameter,
and the trunk one-twentieth. The length
of stroke is six-fortieths of an inch. They
are fitted with reversing gear, and are
generally similar in design to the great
machines with which ships of the Warrior
class are equipped. From the extreme
smallness of this model few minutise-
such, for instance, as the air pumps-have
necessarily been omitted there is a limit
beyond which human skill and minuteness
cannot pass Still, so small are some of
the parts that they require powerful
magnifying glass to see their form.

GETTING ON IN THE WoRLD-There
are many different ways of getting on in the
world; it does not always mean making
great deal of money, or being great man
for the people to look up to with wonder.
Leaving off bad habit for a good one is get
ting on the world to be careful and saving
instead of thoughtless and wasteful is get
ting on; to be active and industrious instead
OF idle and lazy is getting on; to be kind
and and forhearing instead of illnatured
and quarrelsome is getting on to work as
diligently in the masters absence as In his
presence. is getting on in short, when we
see any one properly attending to his duties,
persevering through such difficulties to gain
such knowledge as shall be of use to himself
and others offering a good example to his
relatives and acquaintance We may be sure
that is getting on in the world Money is d
useful article in this way hnt ii is nncs;ll~
to get on with small means, for 1t Is a mis-
take to suppose that we must wait for good
deal of money before we can do anything.
Perseverance is often better than a full
purse. There are more helps toward get
ting on than is commonly supposed; many
people lag behind or miss the way altogeth-
er, because they do not see the abundant
and simple means which surround them at
all sides, and so it happens that there are
aids which cannot be bought with money.
Those who wish to get on in the world
must have stock of patience, of hopeful
confidence, willingness to learn, and a dis
position not easily cast down by difficulties
and disappointments.
