To Light q Dark Room.

The London Builder recommends a
plan of lighting dark room, in which
the darkness is caused by its being stu
ated on narrow street or lane. The
Builder says, if the glass of window in
such a room is placed several inches
within the outer face of the wall, as is
the general custom of building houses,
it will admit very little lig bit, that which
it gets being only the reflection from the
walls of the opposite houses. If, how
ever, for the window be substituted an
other in which all the panes of glass are
roughly ground on the outside, and flush
with the outer wall, the light from the
whole of the visible sky and from the
remotest part of the opposite wall will
be introduced into the apartment, reflect
ed from the innumerable faces or facets
which the rough grinding of glass has
produced. The whole window will ap-
pear as if the sky were beyond it, and
from every point of this luminous sur
face light will radiate into all parts of the
ROOM

How Tigers are Trapped

A writer in the London Times tells
how they trap tigers in India, and des-
cribes the trap in use in some parts of the
country. Strong posts are fixed in the
ground SO as to form circle of pail, lsades
ten or twelve feet in diameter. Another
larger circle is formed in the same way cut
side the other, leaving space of foot
and half between the two. In the outer
circle small door is made of width equal
to the space between the circles, A goat
or calf is tied to post in the centre, and
the door is opened, so that it stands
across the space between the circles.
The tiger walks around the outer circle
till he finds the eptrace. He enters, and
walks around the space till he meets the
opened door, which he pushes back into
its place. The space is too narrow for
him TO turn round or exert his great
strength, and he continues to walk round
and round, till morning, when he is
easily killed, and the bait is extracted,
unhurt.

SIZE OF THE LAKES.

The size of our fresh water lakes is as
follows: Lake Superior-Length 335
miles; breadth, $50 miles mean depth,
6SS feet; elevation, 627 feet, area, A.
600 square miles. Lake Michigan
Length, 800 miles; greatest breadth,
$50 miles; mean depth, 900 feet; eleva-
ton, 507 feet; area, $4,000 square miles.
Lake Huron-Length, 100 miles; breadth,
160 miles; mean depth, GOO feet; eleva-
ton, 274 feet; area, 10000 square miles.
Lake Erie-Length, $50 miles breadth,
so miles depth. 81 feet elevation, SIS
feet; area, 5000 square miles. 1t will
thus be seen that Superior is the largest,
the most elevated and contains the
largest area that Michigan is the
deepest and broadest that Huron is the
shortest and has the lowest elevation !;
that Erie is the narrowest. the shallow
est and contains the smallest area, and
that Superior and Huron are the same
breadth.

MISERS,

The professional money getters of So
ciety. who include all those, whatever
their vocation may be. who have no
other aim or desire in life, are the most
wretched mortals on earth. In the first
place. they never get enough In the
next place, every natural inclination and
sympathy is made the slave of this one
passion. As the habit grows upon them,
the means for satisfying it are less closely
inspected. Men with pletoric purses and

ing their fortunes that they would have
Indignantly rejected in youth and power
ty. Money- getting per Sc is vice like
excessive whlsky-drinking or opium-ea
ing. An old miser will do more to graft
fy his deep-rooted passion than an old
topper. The ethics of commerce sink
into insignifcance by comparison with
the profits. Broad acres of real estate
are accumulated at time of life when a
man must look forward to the exclusive
occupancy of not more than six feet bv
four. Men grow sick and haven't time
to go away from their business for their
health's sake when they get enormously

AN oDIoUs COMPARISON. This is the
way the leader of the woman reform
party puts the case anew: Suppose some
one should take beautiful thorough.
bred horse, with slim body, and fine,
rounded form, twist up its name tightly
on the top of its head, and fasten to it
five pounds of hair, and fifty hair pins
put dozen blankets over and around it,
SO that it could not step without coming
in contact with them put belts around
its body so tight that full breathing and
free circulation of blood are impossible,
and vital organs are pressed out of their
natural position, and then take it to the
race course to run beside a strong, heavy
built horse, with no impediment but its
weight. Then he should say Nonsense |!
absurd that horse is out of its sphere :;
take 1t back to the stable; it is only fit
to raise colts, would you not say that
such man was an idiot or insane.

Asehm.I rne oil Regions.

The Titusrile Herald says that asthma
is of very rare occurrence i'll the oil re-
gions, and that the cause of such ex-
emption is found in the fact that the at
fmosphere there is strongly impregnated
with the vapors of petroleum, which act
almost as specific for the relief of asth-
ma, and as a preventive of consumption.
1t adds: ''Let any one who is afflicted
with asthma, and feels a particular diff
cult spell of breathing coming on, go in
the vicinity Of producing well, where
petroleum vaper hevers in the neighbor-
hood, and he will find great relief, and
continued presence in such neighbor-
/ hood will be the best means of perma-
nent cure We look forward to the time
when physicians all over the United
States will recommend to their asthma
tic patients journey to the oil regions
and we hope some suitable preparation
will be made for their entertainment anG
diversion. The prospect of an nfirmar,
4 for such subjects has been seriously dis
cussed by many of our citizens, but ha.
not yet taken definite shape"
