CONCERNING THE SIPHON.-Of late
there has been considerable discus.
SION relative to the inverted iron ST.
phon, made use of by the water COM
pany In conveying water across WASH
oe valley eastward to point where
IL VIII flow into Virginia of its own
accord. Ihe amount OF pressure on
the pipe to the square inch at the
lowest point of depression, for q
height of l. 72O feet, disregarding fric-
tlon, Will be 740.4S pounds avoirdu-
pois. This pressure does not come
from the longer arm of the Siphon as
many have supposed, but from the
other or shorter arm. This fact will
be easily understood when we consid-
er that perpendicular column of wa
ter can be made to pass through tin
pipe for any distance without danger
or bursting the pipe so long as the
How OF the water is not arrested.
WATER CELEBRATIoN.-At about 5
O'Clock last evening the citizens of
Virginia were electrified bv the glad
intelligence that the water from the
Sierra Nevada Mountains was tuinb-
ling into Bullion Ravine. The Joyous
event was celebrated in grand style.
There was a handsome display Of
OF cannon, the latter being kept up
till long after midnight.

The National Centennial.

As the grand idea of our national
centennial, says New York journal,
is national and international industri-
al exposition it appears to us that the
national celebration for the Fourth of
July, 1876, at Philadelphia, could be
made in harmony with this grand idea
of worlds fair if it were made what
we may call an industrial procession of
the States and Territories. In such a
procession, with each State and Terri
tory represented by delegation of its
own people, bearing in front on large
banner the State or Territorial coat of
arms, and with the products and pro-
cesses, as far as practicable, of it's
leading and peculiar branches of in
dustry borne in the line of march, we
would have splendid and instructive
spectacle. 1t would be passing pane
rama of the States and Territories, re-
presenting in bold relief and in actual
life the people, the industries, the
products, the climate and the peculiari-
ties thereof in every State and Territory
of the Union. M,re wildly than any
other device would such procession
represent our people, our country and
its various and bountiful resources and
boundless capabilities. 1t requires no
great stretch of the imagination to
reach the impression upon citizen and
stranger, from O procession of hun
dred thousand men, women ana chill
dren, embracing the fishermen of Maine,
the tar kilns of North Carolina, the big
cheeses of New York, the orange groves
of Florida, the monstrous grape clusters
of California and New Jersey, the
towers of gold and temples of silver
from Montana, Colorado, Utah and
Nevada, the buffaloes of Nebraska,
the elks of Oregon, and the thousand
forms of the iron OF Pennsylvania, and
so on, to the end of the glorious line.
This procession would appropriately be
led by the army and navy, as represent
ing the forces of our national indepen-
depce, and it would properly be classed
with our civic societies as completing
the representation of reign of peace.
We throw out this suggestion as en-
titled to consideration by the manage
ment of this centennial enterprise fo1
we think it embodies an idea for the
celebration of the one-hundreth ami
versary of our national independence,
which, from its attractive novelties and
instructive groupings of American life
and industry, will at our great worlds
fair of 1876 be universally acceptable.

Deafnessis calamity which we would
all avert, and yet, by ignorance, many
young people are laying the foundation
for an isolated old age--a land of 81
lence. Sea-bathing is apt to do much
injury to the ear. Not that this most
important and healthful pleasure need,
therefore, be in the least discouraged;
but it should be wisely regulated. Stay
ing too long in the water certainly
tends to produce deafness as we'll as
other evils; and it is practice against
which young persons of both sexs should
be carefully on their guard. But inde-
pendently of this, swimming and float
ing are attended with o certain danger
from the difficulty of preventing the en-
trance of water into the ear in those po-
sitions. Now, no cold fluid should ever
enter the ear; cold water is always more
or less irritating, and, if used for swing
ing, rapidly produces extreme giddl-
ness. In the case of warm water, its
entrance into the ear is less objection
able, but even this is not free from dis
advantage. Often the water lodges in
the ears and produces an uncomfortable
sensation till it is removed; this should
always be taken as sign of danger. II
the water cannot be prevented from en-
tering the ear in any way, the head may
be covered. Wet hair, whether from
bathing or washing, may be cause of
deafness, if it be suffered to dry of it.
self. Whenever wetted, the hair should
be wiped till it is fairly dry. Nor
ought the practice of moistening the
hair with water to make it curl, to pass
without remonstrance. To leave wet
hair about the ears in to run great risk
of lnjuring them. In the washing oi
children. too, care should be taken that
all the little folds of the outer ear are
carefully and gently dried with soft
towel. Drafts of air are also peculiarly
injurious to the ear. The modern style
of cutting the hair of men, and of ar.
ranging the hair of women, is much tc
be deprecated; because it was intended
by nature that the hair should fall ovel
the ear, and thus form q protection tc
it. But as we cannot throw down sc
great goddess as fashion, we mus
use care and artificial means for the
preservation of this delicate organ. i
sitting in draft is unavoidable, tht
handkerchief should be applied to the
ear exposed. The ordinary manner o.
washing the face does no harm to the
ear; but all swabbing of the ear, wheth
er with dry cloth or lint moistened witt
hot or cold water or other fluid, is by
no means to be advised, MS it removes
the wax, the necessary safeguard to the
internal ear. This information is o
practical value to all, and we hope i
may be remembered as such.

Helping the Bank.

A Reading paper gravely relates the
following incident of the panic in that
city: "Quite touching affair oc-
cured in the Reading Savings Bank,
which afforded lesson to some men
who were in the bank at the time. Two
little boys, each eight OF nine years of
age, came into the institution and stated
to the chashier that they had heard the
bank wanted money, and that they had
come to give them some. Each had a
bank book and fifty cents. The money
was duly deposited and the little lads
left. Soon thereafter another little
boy, accompanied by his aged grand
mother, entered the bank and deposit
ed fifty.threa cents, also ito help along
the bank"

rowful hands, and went on more slowly
after the others.
An hour passed before low, eager
cry came from Mrs. Medford's lips
"Come here, James -
So she found him. She had taken
ont one of the lanterns, and her mo-
ther's instinct had led her ON to the
right place at last. Mr.. Smith stepped
to her side. The light from the two
lanterns shone on what looked like the
statue of little boy. The long, curled
lashes dropped upon his cheeks. His
face cleaned like marble in the dim
light, and in one careless hand was a
great bunch of the poisonous berries
the deadly night-shade bears.
"See those berries" the mother
whispered. "James, is he dead ?"
Mr.. Smith bent over the child and
looked at him closely. ....,
"No; there is no stain upon his
face. He has not tasted them and he
breathes as quietly as if he was in his
bed at home"
Then Mrs. Medford caught up her
boy in her arms. She had not dared
before lest she should clasp despair.
Her embrace awoke him; and still, il
seemed, his thoughts were running on
the golden butterflies.
8" Me tied to get 90 some for oor ears,
mamma, they did shine so brig at but
they all runned away, and then ]
couldn't find Oracle"
Weren't you frightened, darling ?'I
"Not frightened SO much as me
hungry. Then me find booful berries.
See and before 1 did eat any, some,
thing laid me down to Sleep"
1t was Gods angel, surely, the moth
er thought, who had hushed her little
one to his slumbers Just in time,
Just in time
She drew the purple poison berries
from his fingers.
t"They would not be good for Fred.
dy," she said, coaxingly. "Uncle
James shall carry Freddy home, and
then my boy'll get some nice supper.
On the way the little procession met
Grace and Kitty. Little Freddy called
out, ioyfully:
"Me 'iding See, Oracle Me moi
mean to run away. Me not bad boy.
Me only t'y to ger gold fly things fol-
mamma"
It was too much for Oracle.
"Little angel p she cried, through
her tears. "Just see how he takes all
the blame, and tries to excuse himself.
How can 1 ever, ever say thanks enough
to God, for not taking him just yet tc
be an angel in heaven y
Mrs. Medford had two or three minds
about what she should say to Grace.
Her first thought had been to send al
once for Mary, and punish the child by
the humiliation of feeling herself nc
longer trusted. Then she thought il
would suffice to "improve the occa
sion by few remarks. But her last
best decision was, that the lesson Grace
had been taught would only be weak,
ened by any words of comment. So,
like woman wise enough to know
when to be silent-and that gift is moi
to be reckoned lightly-she left the in,
cident to do its own work. She was sat.
isfied with the result.
The children had happy summer
and Oracle was never again led into the
temptation of even momentary wish
to get rid of Freddy.

A Cool ReceptiOn.

In Virginia City, New, according to
the Territorial Enterprise of that town,
a gentleman has placed on each side of
the gravel walk leading from his front
gate to his door handsome iron fence,
the top rail of which is made of gas
pipe filed with small holes. Before lie
thus fenced his walk he was much
troubled by book agents, map peddlers,
and other persistent cattle, but now all
is lovely with him. When he sees a
man enter his gate with books under
his arm, he simply turns cock and in
stantly thousand streams of water
dart across the whole length OF the walk
from side to side. The book-peddler
retreats to the gate, gazes wistfully up
the walk for time, concludes the man
of the house does not want to see him,
and then travels, wondering what sort
of Internal machines people will next
invent for the ediscouragement of honest
industry. This beautiful and useful in
vention is not patented,

Preserving Milk.

A method for preserving milk is thus
described:
The milk, fresh drawn from the COW,
is placed in cans or bottles, which are
filled as nearly full of milk as possible,
and Immediately corked tightly or her
metically sealed. The cans or bottles
are then placed in bath of water heat
ed to the same temperature as the milk,
in such manner as TO allow q free cir
culation of water beneath and around,
but not over them. The temperature of
the water bath is then slowly raised to
between 100 degrees and ITO degrees
Fahrenheit's thermometer. The water
is kept at this temperature for greater
or less length of time, according to the
period during which it is desired to pre-
serve the milk. One honr will, it is
claimed, preserve the milk four or five
weeks. Five hours heating is enough
for eight months OF year. The fire is
then withdrawn and the bath allowed to
cool slowly, after which the cans and
bottles IRE withdrawn and the operation
is completed.
An essential of success in this opera
tion is, that the vessels designed to con-
tain the milk should be perfectly clean
and sweet, and that the milk itself
should be perfectly pure and unadul-
terated. If the temperature be carried
higher than that named above, the milk
acquires cooked taste. If the temper
ature be not raised so high, and main
tanned suitable length of time, the
milk sours.

Shaving q Pig.

Men of talent often fail from turning
their talents in wrong direction. Chief
Justice Chase, for example, would nev,
er have made successful barber. He
lived for while in his youth with his
uncle, Bishop Chase, who prepared him
for college. One morning he told the
budding Salmon to kill and dress pig.
The incipient st ltesman was not much
of a butcher, and, when he came to the
delicate operation of scalding the pig,
horror the hair set. But in his ex-
tremity h. bethought himself of his
uncle's razor, and, in due course of
time had the porker shaved from tip of
snout to tail-end. The bishop, on his
return, complimented his nephew on
the neatness with which he had per-
formed his task. When, however, the
old gentleman came to shave himself,
his cherished razor was found in sad
plight. An investigation followed, and
young Salmon received some very seri-
Gus advice.

A Broken Window.

A San Francisco paper relates the fol-
lowing incident which recently occur
red there, which shows how easy it is
to collect crowd in large city: GA
man carrying upon his shoulder o heavy
iron bar struck it against a large glass
window and cracked the pane. The
street was one where loaded vehicles
frequently passed, and so to prevent
the jarring from causing the cracks to
extend, ring was drawn about the
spot ON the glass with diamond point.
Somebody caught sight of the shivered
spot and the circle about it, and stop
ped to look. Another did likewise; the
crowd increased, and in a short time
four policemen arrived on the run, it
having been reported at headquarters
that pistol ball had been fired into
the office, and that the place had been
robbed. OF course the coming of the
police drew still larger crowd. and the
Office was almost besieged. The excite
ment could not be allayed, and the
crowd dispersed until placard was
hung up giving the explanation of the
affair, and even then number fingered
near to spell ont the words"

Ruined BY q ReapIng Machine.

A few years ago a farmer lived near
me, who, being out of debt, was on the
high road to prosperity. He had the
promise of a magnificent crop of wheat.
Some weeks before it was time to cut it,
an agent came along one day selling i'm
proved reapers. ga beautiful crop of
wheat you've got there, he remarked to
the farmer.
The latter reckoned 'tvould turn out
pretty well.
"Now, you ought to have a good
reaper to cut it with, " said the agent.
"Can't afford it haven't got the
money" replied the farmer.
"Im selling first-class machine
better than any that have been used
about here-and I can give you one at
bargain and wait until it has paid for
itself. 1 don't want any money now,
continued the agent, temptingly, aud
with pencil and paper he showed first
how much the farmer would have to pay
for cutting his wheat this year, how
much grain he could cut for other peo-
pie, and, in short, that before he would
have to pay for the machine he would
have saved and earned enough with it to
pay for it, and still have the machine
not half worn out. To make q long
story short, the farmer was persuaded to
purchase the reaper, and gave an "iron-
clad" note for it-that is, q note accom-
panied with a statement of property,
whish in this State is equivalent to a
mortgage.
The machine arrived in due time it
worked well, and my neighbor was able
to cut his crop himself instead of hiring
reaper. Then he did some work with
it for other people, but as several others
in the neighborhood had also purchased
machines he did not ego out" wit it
as much as he expected. At length his
note matured, but he had no money with
which to pay. He had had sickness in
his family, and had not got as much for
his crop as he had expected. The agent
was sorry, and, after good deal of hesi-
tation, supposed" that if the farmer
could not pay, the time would have to
De eAteuueu, uuU III tnht case ne SuOulu
have to charge 20 per cent. interest
He would much rather have the money
than that even. So the note was renew
ed on those terms. The farmer paid
the interest once or twice, but, finally,
as the quarterly day came around, he
saw that he was not likely to have
money to pay even that. There was
nothing then left for him to do but to
mortgage his place, borrow the money,
and pay the note. And still he ran be-
hind hand, so that instead of reducing
the mortgage he was obliged to increase
it from time to time until in the end he
had to sell out, take new land and bogin
| again. - -
