Ee3-An exchange contains q list Of
what it calls "pure Americanisms-
unknown in England" from which
we take the following:
Store. This word is unknown in
England as applied to place where
things are sold. They say "shop"
instead, as book-shop, groccry-shop,
drug-shop, etc. whereas, in this
country we use the word "shop" to
designate O room whore mechanical
work is done.
Pantaloons. In England "trous-
ers."
Baggage. Used to signify the
trunks, clothing, etc, OF a traveller
The English say luggage" deeming
it more urpretentious
Bogus. An American word, and a
very convenient one, too. We are
compelled to admit that the oppor-
tunities to use it are by no means
few.
Fix. In England this word is
mover used in the sense of putting in
order or mending.
Dry Goods. This is very con
venient term in this country, but it
is entirely unknown in Great Britain.
Fall. In England they saw eau
tumn," and in this they do not in
clude November.
Corn. In England this word in
CLUBS all cereals, especially wheat,
rye, barley and oats.
Dead-head. No such word is
known in England, but there is great
need of it.

Arrival of Niagara,

The newly discovered waterfall in
British Guiana, South America, has
a perpendicular descent of 1876 feet,
with 81 feet more of cataract. 1t is
in the Essequibo River, and is called
the Great Kaieteur Fall. One of tho
surveying party, who visited il in
April last, describes it as follows;
CAS- we saw the Fall, / cannot i'm
agine anything more beautiful. The
central portion, which is never dry,
forms a small horseshoe or ro-enter-
ing angle. and the water in this part
preserv % its consistency for short
distance from the ledge. But every
where else, at q few feet from the
top, all scmblance of water disap-
pears il breaks up, or blossoms, into
fine foam or spray, which descends
in the well-known rocket-llko forms
Of the Staubach and similar water
falls, but multiplied thousand times,
into q small dark pool, over Il semi
circular curtain Of precipice deeply
followed by the action Of the spray,
The cavern behind the Fall ID the
homo Of thousands Of swallows,
which issue from it in the morning,
and may BIO seen returning in their
multitudes at night. The Fall itself
is one vast descending column Of a
fine dry-looking, snow-white sub
stance, bearing resemblance, IN
color and consistency, to the snow
Of an avalanche, but surpasslng all
avalanches have seen in size, and
in tho beauty OF. the forms taken by
the material Of tho Fall, Rainbows
Of great splendor were observed, one
from the front Of the Fall in the
morning, one from the summitin the
afternoon but this last reversed,
forming q colored loop or ring, into
which the whole mass seemed to
precipitGto itself and disappear, and
dart out underneath, black and foam
ing, at the gorge and outlet of the
pool"
The width Of the river, 200 yards
above the fall, is 1871 yards, and its
depth 10 feet.

pcA- Halls Jonndi Of Heath gives
the following directions in reference
20 feeding the little ones;
Three-tourths of the fatal diseases
OF childhood would be prevented by
judicious feeding, which means
chiefly that they should be fed reg
ularly, and not be allowed to eat be-
tween meals. Until three months
old, child should DO fed every two
hours from three to eight months,
every three hours from eight to
twelve months, every four hours,
and therofour four times during day
light. After child is six months
old, it should be trained to be nur-
sed or fed but once from the time the
mother goes to bed until the time for
rising in the morning thus prevent
ing the mother from being walked
out of the sleep she SO much needs,
and for the want of which half the
mothers have draggled halfdead
look during the whole time of nurs-
ing.
After child is three months old,
it should not be allowed to sleep in
the same bed with its mother, but in
crib at the bedside, where it should
be put Immediately after each nurs-
ing both mother and child will
sleep better for this arrangement.

The Size of Atoms.

A CORRESPONDENT has asked in what
solution is the EXTREMIST division of matter
apparent, and the nearest approximation 10
the size or bulk of the atom made The
first part of this query may be answered !;
the second is unanswerable, because the
size of neither the atomic or molecular in
tersticial spaces are yet determined, SO that
if we could determine that definite num-
Der of atoms were mingled with a given
number of atoms of another kind, we
should still lack data of at.y estimate of
their relative size. Assuming them to be
spheres with their sides in absolute con
tact such a calculatior might be made. but
all we know of The various states which
matter assumes teaches that they do not
touch each ottcr. To answer even the
first part of thc query would, however re-
quire much research We shall content
ourselves With giving some remarkable in
stances 81 extreme divisibility. One three
