world discovered them, would only draw the
veil more closely over their faces and their
hearts, and entreat to be left alone with God.
True, they cannot always hide They must
not always hide: or their fellow-creatures
would lose the golden lesson. But, nevertbe-
less, it is of the essence of the perfect and
womanly heroism, in which, as in all spiritual
forces, woman transcends the man, that 1t
would hide if it could. And it was pleasant
thought to me- when glanced lately at the
golden deeds of women in Miss Young's book
it was pleasant thought to me, that
could say tomyself-Ah yes. These heroines
are known, and their fame flies through the
the mouths of men. But if so, how many
thousands of heroines there must have been,
how many thousand there may be now of

are there. They sow in secret the seed of

The value put by epicures upon particular
varieties of fish seems to depend in a great
degree upon their costliness. Thus the stur-
geon is regarded in Europe as dish fit only
for king-merely because the fish is rare,
and brings very high price, 1t is not i'm
possible that the common herring is about to
rise in further estimation for similar reason.
During the present season it has been unpre-
cedentedly scarce on the cost of Scotland. and
has commanded prices that the Pal Nall
Gazette calls enormous. If the scarcity should
continue, and the price of herring steadily
rise, a time will come when broiled heering
will be beyond the means of any one bnt a
millionaire. We shall then be told of the
extravaganza of some dissipated young Duke
in breakfasting daily upon herring, and shall
read of the reckless prodigal who carries salt
herring in his pocket on the Derby day,
and ostentatiously lunches thereupon in the
presence of astonished and admiring multi
tudes.

SCIEHTIEIC AND MECHANICAL POSSE
BfLITKES.


One hundred and Atty years ago, IL any one
had dared to announce the possibilities Of
crossing the ocean In vessel driven by steam,
or of carriages being driven at the rate Of
thirty miles an hour by this same agentssor Of
dagucrreotyping the human face ON metallic
plate by the light Of the sun, and then chem
ically fixingit there, or Of conveying news BY
electric agency for hundreds Of miles, and
especially under the ocean, such predictions
would have been considered ridiculous. And
when science announces that it is possible to
entrol the elements, to cause it to rain or
shine at pleasure, and that it is possible to
draw from the earth's hidden treasure new
resources of untold wealth, imparting the
gratest happiness and benefits to the human
race, it is still viewed with incredulity by the
masses. But few years since, petroleum
was first utilized to our benefit. There
doubtless was a time when man never dream
ed of warming himself by artificial heat.
For ages the savage did not know that the
heat existed in the trees under whose shelter
he lay. He pulled up wild roots, picked wild
fruits, swallowed the raw oysters aud mussels
as he wandered naked along the beach. A
cave by the river or seaside, or hollow tree,
served him for q shelter. Many generations
passed before he learned to make a fire by
slow steps he passed from rude tents, huts,
and cabins, to comfortable houses and stately
mansions, with heating apparatus, by which
winter is shorn of its rigor.
Heat increases about one degree to ever fifty
feet that we penetrate the earth shafts are
now sometimes sunk to a debt Of 1000 feet
1t is not within the possibility of mechanism
to bore 4 1000 feet more at that debth we should
find heat of at least one hundred and fifty
degrees and in many places even greater thar
this. Mechanical power could be obtained
from the steam and water forced up from this
depth Heated water and steam from these
wells could be carried into our houses and
warm our dwellings to a summer temperature.
Conducted in pipes under the soil protected
by glass; we could cheaply grow in New
England, all of the southern and tropical
plants and vegetables The snow could be
kept melted from the streets of New York,
and all of the buildings warmed from this
spontaneous flow, useful also for cooking and
other purposes.
The Garden of Plants in Paris is heated by
water from an artesian well eighteen hundred
feet deep, which has temperature of ~ deg.
Fahrenheit and is carried in pipes under the
soil. salad garden at Erfurt, in Saxony, is
heated in the same manner, and is said to
yielded 500, coca year to the proprietor.

little children--is full of this spirit. s.Suffer
little children to come unto me. and forbid
them not" He said, and He took them up in
His arms and blessed them. Oh what an
example What lesson Christ, the Son
of God, left the Joyous concourse of angels and
arehangels, gathered round the etefnal throne
Quit His seat at the right hand of God the
Father, and Christ the Re,leemer of mankind
did thus leave the grander works of universe
and the higher phases of human development,
to labor upon the seemingly insignificant por-
tions of creation and mingle with the young,
poor and lowly among men. Surely, we who
sink so infinitely below them in power and
purity, should not neglect the little duties and
privileges which they have melted out to us as
portion of our life services. The true man
and woman does not neglect these. 1t is one
of the great marks and characteristics of true
greatness and superiority. - True men and
women neglect no duty because it is small,
nor commit any sin because on its face it does
not wear the stamp of glaring crime.
Faith adds charms earthly bliss
And me from its snares;
Its aid in every duty brings,
And softens all my cares.
IT'S faith supports my feeble soul
IN times OF deep distress;
When storms arise and pillows roll
Great God, | trust Thy grace.

GOOD NURSING.


With all due respect to science, it is still an
Nursing as in good doctoring to cure sickness
Since, if the patient is left with a fussy, fdget-
ty person to carry out the best DOCTORS direc-
lions, the game is well-nigh up. And, oh, the
difference there may be in the way of coming
into sick-room and leaving it, in opening
water without splitting it, and in always slop-
ping it over, none but a weary, babyish sick
person may know.
After all, it is only the sympathetic person
who is fit for the Office Of nurse. There are a
lot of born nurses, as there are born artists or
poets. Gentle, soft-stepping creatures, who
let the sunshine in with their very presence,
only with their cheerful voices and beaming
eyes and all-embracing charity, which places
no blame on jangling nerves for the extorted
words of Impotence, when the flesh and heart
are fainting, and the silver cord is well-nigl
loosed, but the softest touch and plying look
soothes in place of condemnng, and helps the
poor sufferer, just as mothers warm breast
lulIs her babe to forget its pain.
A cheerful reflection of the voice is often
worth more than an apothecary's shop Your
dull, silent croaker is a walking hcarse in a
sick room. After all, in this, as in every other
avocation, Intelligence must rule but, alas
intelligence is the rarest of gifts. We may
buy ielIies and hot-house fruits, but who has
intelligence to sell combined with kindness,
though the mines of Golconda bid for it?

Eighteen years ago $3.50 the annual con-
sumption of railways bars in the United States
was 447, G5S TONS ofwhich $3.50, 430 tons were
imported and 1903, 100 tons only were manufac-
tnred here. twill be seen by these figures that
of the total American consumption Of railways
bars at that time, less than one-third was OF
American manufacture, and more than two
thirds was imported. Since that time there
have been vast changes, both in the amount
consumed and in the proportions Of domestic
and foreign manufacture. The figures for
1872 show consumption of railways bars in
the United States amounting to !, 5o4, 59l tons,
of which 975, 900 tons were manufactured in
this country and 529, sol tons were imported.
The old conditions are thus reversed, about
two thirds Of our railway bars being made in
our country and about one-third being of
foreign manufacture.
