S1@ Last fall John Foster, of Boston
placed 81 ,O00 in the hands of the chief
OF police to be loaned to such working
girls as had persons depending on them
for assistance, and who would prefer to
accept the money as loan rather than
as gift. No security but the word of
the borrower was required and the sums
loaned were to be kept twenty wears,
without interest. Miss Jennie Collins
was requested to select such girls as,
IN her Judgment, We're worthy to receive
ald. and thus far about forty have been
assisted.

HOW SHE STOPPED BORROWING.

The subject of borrowing and lend
ing came up in the course Of conver-
sation with subscriber living near
ithaca, when he suddenly recollected
fanny reminiscence of that character
which had happened in his own neigh
borhood. He said he had neighbor
whose family were great borrowers but
not SO distinguished as pay masters
they were always borrowing but seldom
if ever returning the exact amount bor-
rowed. An old Quaker lady, another
neighbor, who had endured these inva-
sions for long time patiently, hit upon
a very philosophical mode Of eventually
putting stop to the nuisance. Keep
ing her own counsel, the next time her
good man went to town, he had sepa-
rate and express order to purchase
pound of the best tea and also new
canister to put it in; as he knew she
already had plenty of tea and also a
canister, he was puzzled to determine
what the lady wanted of more tea and
new canister, but his questioning and
reasonings elected nothing more than
repetition Of the order. at
Jim, did I not tell thee to get me a
pound of the best tea and new canis-
ter? Now go along and do as I bid
thee" .......-..
And go along he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and canis-
ter were his companions. The old lady
took them from him with an amused
expression ON her usual placid features,
and depositing the tea IN the canister
set it on the shelf for special use. It
had not long to wait, for the borrowing
neighbor had frequently use for the
aromatic herb. The good old lady
loaned generously, emptying back into
the canister any remittance of borrowed
teas which the neighbors conscience in
clined her to make. Time went on and
after something less than the one hund-
redth time of borrowing the neighbor
appeared for &c just one more drawing
of tea" when the oft-visited tea-canis-
ter was brought out and found to be
empty, and the good old lady and oblig-
ing neighbor, was just one pound of
tea poorer than when she bought tho
new canister which now only remained
to tell the story. Then she made a
little Characteristic speech, perhaps the
first in her life; she said: Thou seest
that empty canister. filled it for thee
with pound of my best tea and have
lent it all to thee in driblets and put
into it all thou hast sent me in return,
and none but thyself hath taken there
from or added unto it, and now thou
seest it empty; therefore I will say to
thee, thou hast borrowed thyself out
and I can lend thee no more"

The TALL THINGS MEN HAVE BUILT.
The announcement has recently been
made that Philadelphia manufacturer
is preparing plan for column 1,O00
feet high, to be constructed entirely Of
iron, in open work, from the summit of
which the grounds of the centennial
exposition are to lie illuminated by
means of q vast and magnificent Drum
mond light. It will be the loftiest
structure in the world, though possess
ing, probably, but little architectural
beauty. The tallest thing of the kind
now in existence is said to be the iron
openwork central spire of the cathedral
in Rouen, France, which is spoken of
as peculiarly unsightly article. It
was erected few years ago to replace
the beautiful spire destroyed many
years previously by lightning; and
though the builders were determined
to make it few feet higher than the
celebrated Strasbourg cathedral, their
work is pronounced as positively hid
eous as that Of their predecessors was
stately and superb. Probably the next
highest work of mans hands, allowing
st. Peters at Rome to be unequalled,
are two chimney's of chemical works in
Glasgow, though each of these fall
somewhat short of 500 feet.

The PosrTloN OF HOUSE. Houses
on streets running nearly north and
south are for preferable to those located
on those going east and west in q sani-
tary estimate. In the first, here at the
north of the equator, the sun shines
brilliantly in the forenoon on the front,
and with nearly equal force in the after
noon on the rear. Thus dampness is
expelled and the whole edifce is dry
and the air far purer for its solar ex-
posure. If house is on an east and
west street, those fronting north are
decidedly the best for residence, be-
cause the suns action on the yard, the
kitchen, and usual regions of neglected
accumulations, purifies and inodifes
the humid atmosphere that is sure to
predominate in yards and the back side
of houses whose rear is north of the
street. Thus circumstanced, the back
rooms are never so pleasant, cheerful
or economically warmed in winter or
ventilated in summer, as when on the
south side. Opening ON the street, the
front Of such gets both light and air by
reason of the frequent swing Of the
front door. s e =. Its's

within a short time thereafter, it would
have readily commanded 75c to SOC per

nearly six weeks, and they will be con-

been, most of the time, conducted by
Methodists, Baptists and Cumberland
Presbyterians, but now only the latter
are engaged in them. Rev. Mr.. Hen
derson Of Salem preached there Sunday
when twenty-seven persons Joined the
church, and about thirty were forward
for prayers. In all, there have been
about sixty conversions.
Clark Smith, writing 10 the AduOcdte,
saws the chief features of the Nehalem
mountains is their coal. The beds which
have been definitely located and claimed
are in the eastern range, but coal doubt
less exists in the other ranges as they
are of equal elevation, and are a contin-
uation of the eastern. The coal is re-
markable for its fine, close texture, and
for the large per cent. of bitumen which
it contains. Instead OF being imbedded
in rock or the usual coal measures it is
found in blush sand, which may ac-
count for the entire absence of fossil leaf
impressions which are so abundant at
the Cowlitz and other coaleries. The
seams are generally in horizontal po-
sItion and contain but a small per cent.
of impurity of sand, clay and pyrites.
