New Houses.

The coincidence of a man moving
into a new house and dying soon after,
has frequently been a subject of re-
mark, and there is an avoidable cause
the house is moved into before the
walls and plaster and the wood are suf-
ficiently dried. Sometimes the cause of
death is the poisonous character of the
water conveyed through new lead pipes.
No water for drinking or cooking pur-
poses should be used in building sup
piled with new lead pipes, in whole or
in part, for at least one month after the
water has been used daily; this gives
time for protecting coating to form on
the inner surface of the pipes, when
their chemical change from contact with
water generally ceases.
But the damp materials of the house
have the most decided effect, especially
on persons over fifty years old or of frail
constitutions whereas, if the person
were in the full vigor of life and health,
not even an inconvenience would be ex-
perienced. In building new house,
or in going to live in another locality
where the water is not far from the
house, it should be ascertained with the
utmost certainty that the spring or well
is higher than the privies or barnyards.
Insidious and fatal forms of decline and
typhoid very often result from drinking
water which is drained from the locali-
ties named. The safest plan, and the
only safe plan for furnishing dwellings
with the most healthful and unob-
jectionable water, is to have a water
tight cistern and let the water from the
house or barn, or other outhouses, be
conveyed into it through box of sand
several yards long, this box to rest on q
board, or cemented bottom and sides,
so that no outside water could get into
it.-HaPS Journal of Health.

An 0il-Dripping Stone.

In a note to gentleman who has
written book upon the oil regions, Elk
Gov. Horatio Seymour incidentally
says "When you go to Boston visit
the Museum of Natural History, Cecil
ogy, etc., in the State Agricultural
Hall, and ask the keeper to show you a
piece of coral stone, which has to my
knowledge been dripping oil for twenty
years in that building. 1t may throw
some light on the oil question The
licensees in your book interested me.
They are not OF men l know, but they
are all marked with intelligence, vigor
and enterprise. They make curious
study for those who care for physiogno-
mics. I do not think faces show mems
natural traits so much as they do
their histories. What a man has gone
through leaves marks on his face. 1
thought could read the story of each
one before Looked at the letter press. !"

The Chin.

Fortune-tellers are generally skillful
physiognomists, and all the features of
the human face do their share in en-
tightening the understanding of the
seers. The chin at the present day is
rather difficult to read, on account of
the increasing custom OF wearing the
beard. A good chin should neither
project nor retreat much. A very re-
treating chin denotes weakness, and a
very projecting one harsh strength,
united with firmness amounting to OBJ
stinacy. A pointed chin denotes acute
ness. A soft, fat, double chin gener-
ally denotes love of good living, and
an angular chin Judgment and firmness.
Flatness of chin implies GOODNESS a
round dimpled chin, goodness a small
chin, fear sharp indentings in the
middle of the chin point to cool I'M
derstanding. The color and texture OF
the skin and of the hair and beard have
also direct harmony with the features.
These should be studied more than
they have been. A facility in drawing
faces is of great use to the student of
physiognomy, as it enables him to note
peculiarities of feature which no writ
tn description would be capable of
preserving.

Six Men Killed by an Explosion of
DUalin.

On last Friday evening, says the
Houghton Mich Mining Gazette ex-
ira of Feb. Is, at about 7:30 o'clock, a
terrible accident occurred at the Pho
nix mine, in Keweenaw county, two
miles from Eagle river, the origin of
which will probably never be known.
Four miners and a subordinate under
ground officer were preparing IN an
apartment of building on the location,
occupied by the mining captain as his
office, quantity of dualin, to use that
night in making "sand blast" in the
mine. The men were taking the dualin
100 pcunds-from its original pack
age, and transferring it to bag, when
the explosion took place. Besides the
dualin, there were three kegs of powder
in the room. Three of the men were
handling the explosive, the fourth was
holding a lighted candle, while the fifth
man stood looking on, when the explo-
sion occurred. The house was shatter-
ed to atoms, and the men literally blown
derground superintendent of the mine,
was in his Office, an adjoining room, at
the time, seated at his desk, and was
struck by some of the flying missiles on
the left side of the head and face, re-
ceiving such injuries that he died this
Sunday morning. The following is
list of the killed:
Captain John Hoatson, highly-re-
spected citizen of this district for a
number of years, age 46, native of Scot
land, leaves a wife and four children /;
Captain Richard Johns, English, I'M
married; Fred. Striker, German, wife
and eight children William Dunn, En-
glish, unmarried and two brothers
named Marks, English, one of whom
leaves wife and four children.

The Floating Islands of Florida.

A traveller in Florida thus describes
the floating ISLANDS in Lake Poinsette /:
we passed several floating islands.
They are formed by the dead roots of
the smart weed and other swamay veg
citation torn up by the wind and hurled
upon the shore. A soil is formed, birds
drop acorns upon the mass, and little
trees make their appearance. A second
wind sends the whole thing out ON the
lake, where it floats subject to every
breeze. One of these islands was sunk
in the channel between Lakes Poinsette
and Winder, in the memorable gale of
August, 1871. The Captain asserted
that he had cut many a bay tree over a
foot thick from the sunken island. Its
dead trees still appear above the water
at the mouth of the river Sometimes
Indians and white hunters set these is
lands on fire. The blaze genertaes a
gale, and the burning islands arc driven
across the lake. Some of the islands
are ovor half mile in circumference.

The SlanderOus Tongue.

The tongue of SANDER is never tired.
In one way or other it manages to keep
itself in constant employment. Some
times it drips honey and sometimes gall.
1t is bitter now, ami then sweet. 1t in
sinuates or assails directly, according
to the circumstances. 1t will hide a
curse under smooth word, and admin
lister poison in the phrase of love. Like
death, it "loves shining mark" And
it is never so available and eloquent as
when it can blight the hopes of the no.
ble-m;nded, soil the reputation of the
pure, and break down or destroy the
character of the brave and strong.
What pleasure man or woman can find
in such work we have never been able
to see. And yet there is pleasure of
some kind in it to the multitudes, or
they would not betake themselves to it.
Some soul or body must be gratifed by
it. But no soul in high estate can take
delight in it. It indicates lapse, ten
dency toward chaos, utter depravity. 1t
proves that somewhere in the soul there
is weakness, waste, evil nature. Edu-
cation and refinement are no proof
against it. They often serve only to
polish the slanderous tongue, increase
It's tact, and give it suppleness and
strategy.

The Burned Pantechnicon, at London.

The Royal Pantechnicon Company
was organized in 1868, and was similar
to our Security and Trust Companies.
The building itself was an imposing
block, eight stories high, fronting Hyde
Park, and in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the platial residences of Baron
Rothchild, the Duke of Wilmington, Sir
Robert Peel, and others. The front
walls were of granite, elegantly sculp-
tured. The building cost 81, 900, 600.
The basement, which was lined with
iron, was carefully guarded by watch
men while each safe hadan iron grating
before it. Here were locked up the
valuable silver ware of the old families
of England, who rarely used it except
on state occasions. These priceless
collections were carefully numbered, the
company, giving bonds for their safe
keeping, and charging according to the
value of the property.
The first floor was q magnificent art
gallery, in which were deposited the
rarest pictures of the Turner, Reynolds,
and other galleries. Persons going out
of town also left their private collec
tons of pictures here for safe-keeping.
Besides these there were glass cases
filled with costly jewelry and valuable
collections of coin. Admittance to the
Pantechnicon could be obtained only
from depositor or Director. In the
rear of the first floor were collections of
equipages, mostly of foreign make,
which were considered so costly that
the owners feared to trust them on their
own premises. On the floors above,
besides several art galleries and mar
bles, were endless collections of costly
furniture, requiring constant care and
attention to keep in order. The Pan
technicon was also used for the safe
keeping of landed titles, mortgages, and
other valuable papers, the company
sometimes advancing money on the col
laterals deposited. -NeW York San.

Effect of Frost on Sap of Trees.

A remarkable paper has recently
been contributed to a German maya
zine by Professor Mohr, showing not
only that the sap does not freeze in
trees and plants which live through
hard winters, but also the reason why
it does not freeze. He says that
though it is true water, as we generally
see and understand it, freezes at thirty
two degrees, it does not do so when its
particles are finely divided. Tropical
plants have large cells, and these are
the ones in which the sap freezes, but
in plants with very small cells in which
the liquid particles are finely diviaed,
there is no freezing of the liquids until
after the structure has received injury
of some sort. This is true, he says, of
insects and insect paup@. They never
freeze but cut one apart, soon after
the humors solidify, and on thaw;ng
life flies.

How TO PREPARE COFFEE.
cooks say good coffee cannot be made
by boiling; it must be leached the
aroma and flavor of the coffee goes off
in the steam if it is boiled. The ground
coffee must be put in vessel that is
like fine sieve in the bottom, pour
boiling water on this, and as soon as it
passes through it is fit for use and if not
used Immediately should be placed
where it will simply keep hot and not
boil. We give this French method of
making good coffee not for the benefit
of hygienists, for they will not use cof-
fee, but to those who still feel that they
must take coffee, We would say, if you
must have it, make it in the best way.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

KEROSENE is the best article ever dis
covered to cleanse rust from CRATES and
fire irons.
To PURIFY CIDER.-A few slices of
the red beet, put into barrel of musty
cider, viii deprive it of its disagreeable
taste and smell, as well as pre- rent it
from becoming vapid or acrid.
PURPLE INK.-Take one and one-half
ounces ground logwood, one-half ounce
puiverlzed alum In one and one-half
pint of soft water. This will make a
very fancy ink.
FROSTED FEET.-They may be cured
as follows White oak bark, taken
fresh and boiled in water for a strong
liquor. Battle the feet in the LIQUOR.
1t is pronounced the best of all rene
dies.
A HOT lemonade is one of the best
remedies in the world for cold. It
acts promptly and effectively, and has
no unpleasant after effects. One lemon
properly squeezed, cut in slices, put
win sugar, and covered with half pint
of boiling water. Drink just before 60
ing to bed, and do not expose yourself
on the following day. This remedy will
ward off an attack of the chills and fever

then covered it over with piece of
sticking plaster. This course he pur-
sued every three days for two weeks,
when the wart was found to have disap-
peared, leaving the part beneath it quite
healthy.
