A Vegetable Wool.

The name of vegetable wool is applied
to fibrous material obtained from the
leaves of the fir, mandatory for this
purpose having been established near
Breslau, in Silesia. The species of pine
thus operated upon is the pinus sylves-
iris, or wild pine and it would seem
that every member OF the pine tribe
might be turned to similar account. The
leaves OF these trees on examination will
be found to be maze up OF fibrous
material held together by aresinous sub
>tance. The latter may be dissolved out
by means of alkalies, leaving the woolly
matter behind. Coverlets, blankets, and
other articles made Of vegetable wool are
in use in Austria, and especially in the
public institutions of Vienna. The
material is warm, durable, and in all
respects agreeable moreover, it posses
ses the excellent quality OF fpreserving
certain balsamic and decidedly wholesome
smell, which nevertheless is so inimical
to insects that they never harbor in it,
as they do in almost all the ordinary
descriptions of the bed material. The
resinous matter holding the woolly fibres
together-and which is eliminated or
dissolved out by the alkalies-is also
turned to account, medicinal baths being
made with it as basis, and which are
found to be useful III various chronic
diseases,

COachmen In a New Role.

The Boston correspondent of the
Chicago. Journal writes: 1t has become
quite fashionable here for good-looking
and intelligent young Americans to seek
employment as coachmen to wealthy
families, and especially those in which
there are manageable daughters.
"Wants" for situations of this kind are
numerous 1 know one young man, a
graduate Of one OF the public schools.
who, after trying to "catch" hand
some young lady, and the daughter OF a
wealthy gentleman, while serving as
clerk in one OF the principal dry goods
stores. changed his base Of operations,
and actually became coachman, by sac
cident. OF course, to the family to which
the lady in question belonged. 1t is un-
necessary to relate how, where and when
the young man succeeded in winning the
heart OF the pretty girl, or to detail how
indignant were papa and mamma when
they discovered that fact. Beinga scion
of fraction of the aristocracy, she had,
kind soul, condescended to throw her
self away upon the horrid coachman, q
gentleman Of good family, but who had
been convicted OF the heinous offence
of being poor. But there was no help
for it, and they were married the
young man receiving a blessing and o
check sufficiently large to enable him to
go into business and carry his head pref
ty high. The genuine Boston coach
man wears brass buttons to some pur-
pose. He is anxious to go to Newport
and Swampscott, and goes, but not as
an artificial automaton by any means.

About Casting Steel.

The rival claims OF Bessemer and
Whitworth, in relation to casting steel
under hydraulic pressure in iron moulds,
brought forward by Mr.. B. in 1856, were
handsomely alluded to and explained, to
the honor OF both parties, in Mn Besse-
mer's recent inaugural address as presi-
dent of the Iron and Steel Institute, the
latter gentleman declaring he had no
doubt whatever that Whitworth was
wholly unaware of the existence of his
lBessemer's) previous invention at the
time he (Whitworth) brought forward
his system OF casting under hydraulic
pressure, by which the material known
as "whitworth metal" is produced. 1t
appears that as early as 1856 Bessemer
actually patented this method of casting
steel under hydraulic pressure in IRON
moulds-a cold wrought-iron plunger
being forced into the semi-huid steel at
one end OF the mould through the
agency Of the hydraulic pressure applied
TO its opposite end. 1t was atabout this
period he observed that, in those cases
where fints give off gaseous matters
under ordinary atmospheric pressure
they are prevented from doing so
-by increasing tie pressure on their
surfaces. A familiar example Of this
action is seen the instant Of rel asing
the gaseous pressure, by the removal
Of the cork from bottle OF champagne !;
and il occurred to Bessemer that if he
subjected the fluid steel to additional
atmospheric pressure the boiling Of the
metal in the mould would be prevented.
Thus arose the firstidea of casting under
the pressure Of air or gases pumped into
a close chamber of great strength, in
which the mould and testing were en-
closed.

The Famous Oils.

The modern applications of science to
industrial purposes are nowhere more
curiously illustrated at the present day
than in the chemistry. Commercial
enterprise has availed itself largely of
this fact, particularly in the production
of perfumes, extracts" &c. Singularly
enough these perfumes formerly obtain
ed by distilling them from fiowers-are
now manufactured in immense quantities
from substances OF really disgusting
9dor. In the making of brandy and
whiskey peculiarly fetid oil is formed
known as fusel oil; and this fusel oil;
distilled with sulphuric acid and acetate
of potash, gives the toll of pears" The
"oil OF apples" is made from the same
fusel oil by distillation with 'sulphuric
acid and bichromate Of potash. The
"oil of pineapples" is obtained from a
product Of the action OF putrid cheese on
sugar, or by making soap with butter,
and distllling it with alcohol and sui
phuric acid, and is now largely employ
ed in England in the preparation of the
famous pineapple" brand OF ale. The
"oil Of grapes" and "oil of cognac," I"
used for imparting the flavor of French
cognac to brandies, are little else than
fusel oil. The artificial "oil OF bitter
Almonds" so extensively employed in
perfuming soap and for aavoring confec.
tionary, is prepared by the action Of
nitric acid on the fetid oils Of gas tar.

Young WidOWhOOd.

Tie sorrows OF a young widow are not
ended when she gets her husband under
ground, as will be seen by the following
entract from a letter written by lady
10 the Home Journal:
Do you know, girls, what it Is to be a
widow? 1t is to be ten times more open
to comment and criticism than any de-
moiselle could possibly be. It is to have
men gaze as you pass, first at you, then
at your black dress, and then at your
widows cap until your sensitive nerves
culver under the infiction. 1t is to have
one iIl-natured person say, i wonder
how long she will wait before she marries
again ?" and another answer, "Until she
gets good chance, / suppose" 1t is
now and then to meet a'glance OF real
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and humblest women that you meet, and
icsl your eyes fill at the token so rare
that it is, alas, unlocked for. 1t is. to
have your dear, fashionable friends con-
dole with you after the following fash
ion: "Oh, well it's a dreadful loss (;
we knew you'd feel it, poor dear" And
in the next breath: "You will be sure
10 marry again, and your widows cap is
very becoming to yon."

The Oak.

That in grave gladness stands.
And stretches DER the lowIier trees
That cluster round his rugged knees,
His patriarchal hands.
To have the morn's first rosy kiss
Uponfmy dewy brow,
The latest smile o; lingering day.
When all the fields are growing Gray,
And she to night must bow.
To fall asleep when winter comes,
And dream Of all things sweet,
Still full Of leafy sap within,
And buds that newer life begin
With springs impulsiye heat.
To burst with joyous buds in spring,
Unfolding, green and bright,
Each opening leaf an upturned eve
To greet the cloud, the sun, the sky,
And revel in the light.
A leafy summer-h use for birds:
An eyer-welcome shade
Where toll may rest at noontide hour;
At even-tide pleasant bower
For rustic swain and maid.
The storms would vainly on me beat,
Though reused in all their pride;
By thunder-peals not shook nor cowed,
The sudden bolt that rends the cloud
Would hardly seattle my side.
No, would live to cumber earth,
To feel the wintry blast
About my old aud withered trunk,
In which my veins have dried and shrunk,
And fall log at last;
But, hewn before my vigor fails,
Before my heart grows dry,
happy-making life to live,
The pleasure sharing that give,
And not in vain to die.

A STRANGE F1sH.-The Santa Cruz

men at the Sequel beach, while hauling
their seine. caught very strange fish.
1t was about four or five feet long, with
a head somewhat resembling an alliga-
tor. The mouth would open very wide,
and q sort of Kissing noise proceeded
from it. 1t had two tirey-like eyes of a
green-yellowish color, with two horns OF
q hard, bony substance protrllding
from each side of the head. The body
was slim and long, and it had four web
feet, the legs being stout and short.
Just below the two hind feel, the body
s ,parated in two tails, and on the end OF
each were two punches Of tassels, some
what resembling sea-weed or coarse hair.
1t was very spry and lively, and the
men were at first afraid to touch it, but
finally one OF the men struck it over the
head with an oar and killed it."
