H0mekeeperS.

Many persons have very fine and
orderly houses, but have, after all
no home, Tor ]. il
Homes not merely four square walls,
: Though with pictures hung ana gilded ;
Home is where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart bath
builded.'
a homekeeper makes all the ways
of the house conduce to the comfort
of the inmates. She allows the mem
bersnf her household to build each
a shrine, and treats it as sacred to
the one who has builded it. The
daughter is not called an idle thing,
because she wishes to know her tune,
and gazes wistfully toward the hori-
zon; nor is the son reproved if she
slams around and wishes he was
anywhere, but idling at home: The
homekeeper will quietly aid the first
to search for beauty ithisside the hor'
iz"n, and the boy will find a vent for
his activity withou, seeing that he
was gen,ly led to il by an oversee,
ing love. 4 house that is blessed
with homekeepsr has an influence
that even strangers feel. They re-
csive that rest which comesfrofn the
{" fitting Of self, to its sphere" The
order Of rthe house may be mechsHb
cal like that Of u loom or harp /;
but like these mechanical things it
conduces to results; ard justiGes it
self by tissues of more than silken
fneness, and music sweeter than that
Of the spheres. If there is house
keeper, the housework is not in utter
confusion, if, perchance, one rise an
hour too late. A breakfast such as
late risers should expect, is eaten in
peace, and lot in hurry Of excuses
for not having meal that it was i'm
possible to furnish without inconve
vience and discord in the kitchen for
the whole day. 1t is foolish to at
tempt to keep restaurant with only
the arrangements suited to small
family. The peace of many family
is destroyed by attempting such I'M
possibilities. Realizing that the guest
regrets his tardiness, she lets the cold
breakfast suffice, but does what she
can by word, look and act to make
the best Of what cannot be helped
and so calls out the gratitude of the
late riser. that ever after that break
fast is bright and pleasant memory
for he feared he was nuisance, yet
without direct word he felt that his
act did not discommode the arrange
ments of the house. Housekeeping
can be we'll done by an energetic wo'
man. Housekeeping requires that
the woman's heart and wisdom be
greater than her house, and that she
keeps the house only that in it life
can be lived with love and truthful,
ness.

Facts Worth Knowing.

One-tenth of the entire railroads of
the United States are in Illinois. This
State leads all others in the extent of
its railway facilities. It's present total
mileage is about midway between 5000
and 1000, with new links being added
all the time. The total of this State is
about the same as the amount added to
the total of the nation during the last
twelve months. From GO Poor's Rail-
road Manual " we take the following
condensed paragraphs worthy of special
note:
The earnings of the roads of the
different sections, of course, differed
greatly, the most productive roads
beng those of the six New England
States, tie earnings of which, the past
year, were $4S, 519,S3 or 21.1O per
cent. on a cost of $3.50, 500, 1874. The
cost per mile of the roads (4,574 miles,
was 50,41S; the earnings per mile,
SO, 636; earnings per head of popula-
ton, estimated at 3,5S6,000, S13. 80.
The number of inhabitants to each
mile of road was 700.
The cost of the II, GIT miles of road
IN operation in the six Middle States
equaled 1929, 700, TIA, or S79, 427 per
mile. Their earnings were $3.50, 2O5, 702,
or 1880 per cent. of their cost. The
earnings per mile were $14,565, and
S15.86 per head of population. The
number of inhabitants to each mile of
road was 1872.
For the ten Western States and
their contiguous Territories, the cost of
the %, IT'S miles of railroad in operation
was 81, 472, 625, 232, or $50, $50 per mile.
Their earnings equaled 1913, S26, 258, or
1910 per cent. of the cost. Their earn
lngs per mile were Sc, 1856; per head of
population, $13.7 The number of in
habltants per mile Of road was AGO."
With such profits for railway invest
ments, no wonder the people "groan,
being burdened," and ask in tone of
command for transportation reform. =

The Garden-HOSe.

Yesterday, Park street man thought
he would use his garden-hose. In fact.
this is thought which strikes him reg
ularly three times day, and his neigh
bors reckon he has lowered the Leices-
ter reservoir elven inches himself since
April l. So he got his hose and screwed
1t together, and put piece Of paper
around the pipe to keep it from leaking,
and Bridget turned on the water for him.
and as he squirted away calmly at post
on the opposite side of the street, a graf
flied smile rose softly on his manly
features, like the glow of pumpkin pie
Just out of the oven. And he didn't
wet himself much, either, only one
boot and his false Wristbands By-and-
by his wife called him in to supper, and
he left his hose squirting on the lawn, so
as not to lose any time, and went right IN.
HIS four-year-old son stayed behind and
took up the hose and began to play at
that post across the street, and squirted
the water all over Deacon Burchell, who
happened to be going by on the nearest
sidewalk. Then the Deacon set up a
yell like nitro-glycerine explosion, and
the father came out of his house and
went for that boy, and the four-year-old
calmly turned the hose full upon the
author of his being, and that man almost
immediately became wetter than the
author of anybody's being has been
since the days of Noah. The water
struck his clean shirt-bosom, and mean
dered silently but speedily down his
boot-legs, and the pockets of his new
summer suit filed up, and the hair-oil
all came out of his head and ran down
the back of his neck, and the only thing
about him that was not cool was the
words that came out of his mouth. He
is now dry, but that four-year-old re-
celved lesson in logic last evening,
with illustrations in the argument pos
ter5ori, which he will remember until he
has reached the age of forty-four.-

A Cats Jump.

The following statement, of the dis
lance leaped by cat, is made by the
Messrs. Sanford Brothers, of Ithaca, N.
T., who are not only reliable but accu-
rate observers of the doings of animals.
=" When our cat was about year old,
he was seen on several days to take po-
sition upon showcase four feet high,
and to watch a canary in cage hanging
from the ceiling eight feet from the
case the ceiling was eleven feet from
the floor and the cage an ordinary
cylindrical one. One day, as we were
observing him thus engaged, he suddenly
sprang at the cage and eau ht his claws
upon it his weight swung the cage up
against the ceiling, spilling all the yes
sells, and terrifying the canary after
swinging to and fro several times, the
cat dropped to the floor uniniured; we
measured the distance from the top of
the case to the cage and found it to be
ten feet SO that the cat made an ascent
of six feet in height, or upon incline of
nearly thirty-fye degrees"

The Law of Storms.

In a very lucid paper on the Law of
Storms, published in the number of
Nature for June &c, scientific writer
adduces fact which, though not new to
scientific men, will be news to the general
public, to wit-that there is far less at
mosphere in the southern than in the
northern hemisphere. Prof Ferrel,
one OF our most eminent mathematicians,
IN his work on the sc Motion of Fluids
and Solids Relative to the Earth's Sur
face" very satisfactorily explains this
fact, which has long been a puzzle to
physicists. He thinks that the differ
ence has been occasioned by the fact that
land and mountain ranges predominant
in the north. The resistances are great
er, and, consequently, the eastward mo-
ton of the air, upon which the defect
ing force depends, is considerably less.
The result is that the more rapid mo-
tions of the southern hemisphere cause
a greater depression there, and trans
fer OF greater part of the atmosphere
to the northern hemisphere. To this
phenomenon is, no doubt, due the su-
perlor force of the southwest trade
winds. 1t is very likely, too, that not a
little OF the superior force and culture
OF the northern races is due to this,
cause.

HumOrS Of the Telegraph.

Not long since a countryman came
into telegraph Office in Bangor, Me-,
with message, and asked that it be
sent immediately. The operator took
the message as usual, put his instrument
in communication with its destination.
tucked off the signals upon the key, and
then, according to the rule of the office,
hung the message paper on the hook
with others that had been previously
sent, that at night they might all be fled
for preservation. The man lounged
around some time, evidently dissatisfied.
At last, +" says the narrator of the in
cldent, his patience was exhausted,
and he belched out, 'Ain't you going to
send that dispatch p The operator DO
htely informed him that he had sent it.
No yer amt, replied the indignant
man; there it is now on the hook"
So far as the exact use of the language
was concerned, the man was right. Still
more ludicrous mistakes sometimes oc-
cur. Thus, the German papers reported
that at Carlsruhe, toward the close of
the late war, an aged mother came to
the telegraph office, carrying dish full
OF saurkraut, which she desired to have
oSiO aPnCo W AtttSbdub. Lie operator
could not convince her that the telegraph
was not capable of such performance.
How could SO many soldiers be sent to
France by telegraph" she asked, and
finally departed grumbling.
Almost every operator meets with
equally amusing instances. One recently
related the following incident GA gen
tleman came to my office to send mes
sage, and after writing it, waited, as
people often do at small offices, to see it
sent. I called Office, and the operator
at the other end of the line said, Busy
wait minute. So I leaned back in
my chair to wait, when the gentleman
said. Have you sent it p 1 said, NO !;
they say they are busy-to wait min
ute whereupon he said, looking sur
prlsed, Why | didn't hear them : and
then added, frightening up, as if he had
thought of the reason, but I'm q little
dedf an one carr I think I managed
to keep a straight face till he left, but it
was hard work. '-Harpey.'s Magazine.

Strange HallucinatiOn.

The Davenport Gowa) Gazette vouches
for the absolute truth of the following,
though from obvious reasons all names
are suppressed One of the leading citi-
zens of North Davenport had an only
daughter who was betrothed to a young
man OF fair promise, a clerk in leading
commercial house at Dubuque.
His visits to that city we're regular
and arrangements had been made for
an immediate union, when the bride
elect was stricken down by typhoid
fever, and, in spite of all which skill and
care could do, died. The Gazette re-
porter says We saw her in her coffin.
dressed for the bridal of death, not for
the consummation of all earthly love.
We witnessed the agony of her lover as
he bent in speechless, fearless abstrac-
ton over the satin-lined burial case"
After the melancholy journey to Oak
dale the young man returned to Du-
buque. Nervous fever set in. and q
peculiar hallucination seized him that
his lost one was present in the room,
draped III the garb which had enveloped
her clay. All remonstrance was in vain.
He minutely described her dress, her
appearance, and her position in his
chamber; even when his parents or
friends would sit or stand where he de-
clared her to be, he saw her glide away
and take another place. This went on
for weeks, and the patient was gradually
sinking under the physical and nervous
excitement, when a friendly ruse was
tried to cure him of his ecstacy.
Coming to Davenport, his mother
found that the funeral garments were
purchased at the store of G. & NJ. and
made by Mrs. B. She procured the ma
terlal, had it made up in fac sinaile,
and returning, a young lady as near in
height and appearance as could be
found, was dressed to resemble his de-
ceased love, and during one Of his
fevered and brief slumbers was intro
duced into the room, taking her seat in

His awakening was anxiously watched.
and sanguine hopes of removing his
hallucination were INDUCED in. He
