If a child wants light to go to sleep by,
says the Herald Of Health, give it one. The
ort of spartan firmness which walks off and
axes away the candle, and shuts all the doors
etween the household cheer and warmth. and
me pleasant stir of evening mirth, and leaves
d little son or daughter TO hide its head un-
.r the bed-clothes, and get to sleep as best it
IN, is not at all admirable. Not that dear
u )thcr means to be cruel when she tries this
CT that hardening process, and treats human
ture as if it were clay to be nodded into
Any shape she may please. Very likely she
ms no idea whatever of the injury and suf-
ring she causes. Perhaps her heart aches !;
U she preserves, thinking she is doing right.
II dren are often obliged to endure great
lea of unnecessary harlships by being sub
,ec' d to absurd methods of discipline which
evc.y good mother ought to avoid.

at the Academy yesterday afternoon at the

A Great Laughcr.

Prescott, the historian, when at college,
was subject to uncomfortable fits of laughter
which amounted almost to u disease. He
once went to the study of the Professor of
Rhetoric to receive q private lesson in elocu-
ton, no one else being present. Prescott
took his attitude as orator and began the
speech he had committed, bat after proceed
ing through sentence or two something lu-
dicrous suddenly came across him, and it was
all over with him at once. The Professor
no laughing man-looked grave, and tried to
check him in tone of severe reprimand.
This only seemed to aggravate Prescott's
paroxysm, and he tried in vain to beg the
Professors pardon, but he could not utter an
ineligible word. At last the ludicrousness
of the situation seized the Professor himself,
his features relaxed and he, too, began to
laugh The more they Looked ut each other
the morethey laughed, each holding his sides,
with tears rolling down his cheeks. OF course
there was An end of reprimand. and equally
An end of defamation. The Professor was
the first to recover himself, saying, "Well,
Prescott, you may go this will do for to-

American Inventions,

The cotton gin, without which the machine
spinner and the power loom would be help
less, is American. The power shuttle, which
permits an unlimited enlargement of the
breadth of the web, is American. The plan
ing machine is American. Navigation by
steam is American. The mower and reaper
are American. The rotary printing presses
are American. The hot-air engine is Amer
ican. The sewing. .machine is American. The
machine manufacture of wool cards is Amer
lean. The hand-saw originated, We believe,
in America. The machine manufacture of
horseshoes is American. The sand blast, of
which the large capabilities are yet to be
developed, is American. The gauge lathe is
American. The only successful composing
machine for printers is American. The grain
elevator is American. The artificial manu.
facture of ice was originally invented by
Professor A. S. Twining, an American. The
electro-magnet was invented, and immedi-
ately after its invention, was first practically
applied in transmitting telegraph signals, by
Professor Joseph Henry, an American. The
telegraph instrument, introduced few years
later into public use, which has since obtained
universal acceptance, was invented by Saml
+. B. Morse, an American.

The A. Il. Stewart Home for Destitute
Women.

The spacious iron structure, which, for
more than three years past has been gradu-
ally rising on Fourth Avenue, between Thirty
second and Thirty y-third streets, and is now
nearing completion, is said to be intended as
a home for destitute women-thc gift OF AL
exandcr L. Stewart. The frontage on Fourth
Avenue is 1872 feet six inches, on Thirty sec
ond and Thirty-third streets, respectively,
2O5, feet The area covered by the entire
structure is 4l,OOO square feet The main
building is six stories high, with Mansard
roof, and central portions of each front, cx-
tending width of 100 feet, has an additional
story, with Mansard roof. The building is of
iron, painted white, with filing and interior
walls of brick. The principal entrance,
through ,wO-stOry portico, somewhat like
that OF the Western Union building, is 4S feet
wide. The first story contains 2i stores, each
So feet deep by II feet wide. Tive elevators,
in addition to the wide staircase, will afford
access to the upper stories. In the centre there
is a courtyard 81 by 116 feet, which will con-
tain fountain and all the flowers of con-
servatory. The entire upper portion of the
building is to be partitioned off in such
manner as to best suit the needs of Il vast no.
TEL On the second floor, directly over the
kitchen in the basement, will be dining room
conducted on the restaurant plan. There will
be in the building halls for lectures, concerts,
etc, in addition TO library and reading
room. The sleeping-rooms will be of two
kinds-the large ones, 10 by IS feet, intended
for two sisters or two friends; the smaller
ones, = feet by 9, intended for one person
only. 1t is hoped to furnish ut even n less
rate than would be asked for apartments in
squalid tenement, warm, light, comfortable,
healthy quarters for the working girls who
seek 4 residence within the walls of the Stew
art building. The cost has already exceeded
81 600, ,00O, and fully half as much more will
be required to place it in n condition for oc-

II don't require an astrologer, a medium or

smple-lies in Il nutshell, and can be ex-
pressed in "A few words They are these: !:
The las, you would naturally think of.
If "A giri expresses II fOndness for majestic
men with large whskers, make up your minu
that She will marry = very small man with
none. If she declares that "mind is all she
looks for. expect to see her stand before the
altar with pretty fellow who has just sense
enough to tie IA cravat bow. If on the con-
trarv. she declares she must have hand
some husband. look about you for the plain
cs, person in her circle of acquaintance, and
declare that is the man, for it will be.
Men are almost AS bad The gentleman
who desires wife with mind and mission,
marrirS lispin- baby who. .sceams ut the sight
ot mouse and hides her face when she hears
a sudden knock at the door. And the gentle
man who dreaded anything like strong-mind-
cdness. cxul,s in the fact that his wife is eN-
act!y everything he declared he dctcstcd.

And if any two people declare themselves
"tricuds and nothing more" you may know
what will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this, and such
matches are invariably the happicst. People
do not know themselves, and make great mis-
takes about their intentions. Love is terrible
pcrrlexing when he first begins to upset one $
theories. and when his arrow first picrces the

hard To guess the cause. Besides, man pro-
poses and God disposcs, and it is the " don

pure AR and Water.

Professor Tyndall argues against the COM
monty taught notion that man requires abso-
lu,ely pure air and water. Chemically pure
affair that is without trace OF amonia,
carbonic acid or wAtcr--is, he says. not to he
found. and the one thing certain about 1t is,
tha, if it were, no one could livenh. Neither
is pure water ever found in nature; and OBJ
serya,ion of the whole animal creation, in
cluding man himself, tends to show that pure
water is not necessary, nor even deinonstra-
bly, desirable. Every sunbeam which enters
a darkcned room shows how thick with solid
impurities is the air which man breathes-yet
no one on that account fears to breathe !;
the same holds true in regard TO water. but
this need not necessarily make any one afraid
to drink it. Neither all foreign matters, MOI

We do not study sufficiently the art of

an expressive wardrobe or elaborate piece of

should be dull, and not too pale; this is not

result is the coarse and vulgar contrast that
we see about u.s. Blue is fayorite color,
