The Weight Of WOman's Clothing,

A writer in Good Heath says that the
average weight all the year round, of
that portion Of woman's clothing which
is supported from the waist is between
ten and fifteen pounds and that if
woman was sentenced to carry such a
weight about in this way for number Of
years, for some great crime, the punish
ment would be denounced as an inhuman
one; yet thousands Of women daily en-
durc such a punishment voluntarily, be-
cause it is the custom, and because they
do not know the bad effects likely to fol
low it, The writer earnestly counsels
women not to adopt an attire similar to
that worn by men, but to have their
clothing suspended from the shoulders,
by which dangerous pressure on abdomi-
nal muscles would be avoided.

bara, what do you suppose brought me
back?" he added, speaking very fast for
fear the baby would cry.
"I don't know" faltered Barbara,
crimsoning still more. " Perhaps you
forget something"
Yes, L did"
"What was ?" said Barbara, little
disappointed.
81 forgot to ask you if you would mar
ry meW
"Dear me was that all" said the
young lady demurely.
Ism that enough? Say, Barbara,
will you?"
"lll think of it," answered Barbara,
ovasively.
No, but tell me now. Quick--the
baby's waking up"
"Well then--yes."
Barbara had taken the little thing in
her arms, and disappeared before it had
time to utter its waking yell.
A week afterward Mr. Joseph Verley
took the 1890 return train with his wife
and niece, the happiest of reclaimed old
bachelors, and it was all the unconscious
baby's work.

Sweeping the Ocean Bottom.

Science is busily at work exploring air,
earth and sea. During the past summer
and autumn, an expedition has made
many remarkable discoveries in dredging
the bottom of the sea from the Bay of
Biscay to the Farce Islands, from depth
Of few fathoms near the shore, to near
ly three miles out at sea. 1t ascertained
that there is stratum Of water from $50
fathOms upward, stratum Of ice cold
water from 300 fathoms downward, and a
stream of intermixture between the two.
1t was formerly supposed that no animal
could exist lower than 300 fathoms, but
various forms Of animal life have been
brought up from the proloundest depth
Of the ocean, many species have been
found altogether new to science. Some
of the animals brought up from the
depth of 1870 fathoms, or nearly a mile
and half, had perfect eyes, while the
color of their shells Indicate the influence
of light.

IiaiIl.

Mr.. James Glassier, L. r. s., Of Eng
land, in a recent lecture, said that the
whole Of the rain had its origin and. fall
800 feet from the earth. Desiring to dis
cover the influence of the moon on the
elements, he found, after long series Of
Investigations, that on the ninth day of
the moon there was much more rain than
on any other day, and that on the first
and last week Of the moon there was the
least amount. He had taken account,
from 1915 to 1860 OF every day on which
there had been an inch of rainfall, and
he had found that on July 26, 1857, the
rainfall amounted to three and seven
tenth inches-the largest amount that
had fallen in one day at the Royal OBJ
servatory. From careful observations
made by him, he had no doubt that the
moon did exercise an influence upon rain
Another Of his investigations was as to
the time Of day that rain fell most, and
he had found that the largest quantity Of
rain fell at about 1 o'clock in the after
noon.

.VarnisIl-Making.

NNHE beautiful black varnish which is
a so much admired the world over is
the production of tree which grows
wild in Japan and China as well. 1t is
cultivated in plantations, and is so much
improved by the treatmentit receives that
cultivated tree affords three times more
Of this valuable product than the wild
one. The tree has some resemblance to
the ash, with leaves shaped like those of
laurel, of light green color, and feel
downy to the touch 1t is of no great
beauty, but it is valuable as the source of
very lucrative manufacture. These trees
are capable Of supplying the varnish
when they have attained the age of sew
en- or eight years. The varnish is gath
cred in the following manner:
About the middle of the summer
number Of laborers proceed to the planta-
tions of these trees, each furnished with
a crooked knife, and a large number of
hollow shells, larger than oyster Shells
With the knives they make incsions in the
bark of the trees above two inches in
length, and under each incision they force
the edge of the shell, which easily pen
otrates the soft bark, and remains in the
tree. This operation is performed in
the evening, as the varnish flows only in
the night. The next morning the work
men proceed again to the plantation !;
each shell is either wholly or partially
filed with the varnish this they scrape
out carefully with their knives, deposit
ing it in vessel which they carry with
them, and throw the shells into basket
at the foot of the tree. In the evening
the shells are replaced, and the yarnish
is again collected in the morning. This
process is repeated throughout the sum-
mcr, or until the varnish ceases to flow
1t is computed that fifty trees, which can
be attended by single workman, will
yield pound of varnish every night
When the gathering is over the yarnish
is strained through thin cloth, loosely
suspended over an earthcn vessel.

Nly@ On one occasion a young and zeal
Gus lawyer, not over punctillious in his
illusions to the court, nor very formal in
his manner, was urging a question before
Judge, and in the course Of his argu-
ment, by way Of illustration, wished tosup-
pose case.
We will suppose, your honor" said
he, "that your honor were to steal a
horse"
"No, no, no." interrupted the Judge.
" Not at all, not at all Tain't suppcsa-
ble case"
Very well begging your honor's par
don" proceeded the eager lawyer, with
more zeal than prudence, every well,
then supposing that | steal a horse"
All, yes, yes, yes" said the Judge ;
" that's a very different thing. Very
likely, Mr.. S., very likely. Proceed, Mr..
S."
Mr.. S. proceeded to take seat, amid
the shouts of his brethren, and had the
good sense to take the joke in good part,
and repeat it often to his friends.

Sleen.

Every man must sleep according to his
temperament. Eight hours is the average.
If he requires little more or little
less, he will find it for himself. Whoever,
by work, pleasure, sorrow, or by any 9TH
er cause, is regularly diminishing his
sleep, is destroying his life. A man may
hold out for a time, but Nature keeps
close accounts, and no man can deceive
her. The want Of sleep is frequently
the cause of insanity.

Ba5- A story is told Of a drowsy d. d.,
who breaches in the Disciples Church,
Charlotville, Va, and has nice dog.
The dog always accompanies the divine
TO church and the other Sunday, in the
middle Of the sermon, the dog got up
and yawned in sympathy with the con-
gregation, and straightway took his mas
ter's hat to him in the pulpit. The
doctor confined his sermon, and the i'm
patient dog produced the old mans cane
and placed it beside the hat with an ap-
pealiDg wag of the tail. The doctor took
the hint, and remarking that the dog was
probably right dismissed the congrega-
ton All Of which is queer iftrue.

5e5~ A father, living near Cincinnati,
was one evening learning his little boy to
recite his Sunday-school lesson. 1t was
from the 14th chapter of Matthew
wherein is related the parable Of the ma
licious individual who went about sowing
tares, etc.
"What is taro, johnny" inquired
the parent. Johnny'hesitated. Tell
me, my son, what tare is" L.
"YOu have had 'em,you know, Tther,"
said Johnny, casting down his eyes and
wriggling his foot.
Had EN-" repeated the astonished
parent, opening his eyes rather wide /;
"why, what do you mean, johnny"
"When you didn't come home for
three days last week" replied johnny,
| heard mother tell Aunt Susan that
you was off on tare !"
The school was brought to close rath-
er abruptly, and Johnny retired supper
less to bed that evening.

4 Dutch Account Book.

nNCE upon IL time three lived a
" jovial Dutchman, whose first name
was Hanness Won Shrimpstieffel. He
had wife. He also had a little grocery,
where beer and such personal property
was sold. He gave credit to a parcel Of
dry customers, and kept books with a
piece of chalk on the head board of his
bedstead.
One day Mrs. Shrimpstieflel, in a neat
fit, took it upon herself to clean house
and things So she did, and she cleaned
the hoadboard, and with soap and water
settled the old mans accounts by wiping
away every chalk mark
Pretty soon before long the vender of
things came into the house and saw what
ruin his frau had wrought. Then he
said:
"Mein Gott, Frau ShrimpsteifFel, what
you make a ruined man Of me, l guess
not? You made wipe away all dem
names and figures what owe dem felers
what's going to pay me before they get
ready, und lose more as swei hundred
tollar.'
His frau left the room in fear and dis
gust When she returned he had re.
covered the head board with chalk marks
Then said she:
Hanness you have make them all
right again, don't it,
Well, meme teurer frau, | make the
figures all right, but puts down some
peter names as dem odder fellows vot
you wiped out!
