Educate the Girls.

The tenderness displayed towards
our daughters in guarding them from
all knowledge of the world, supplying
their every want, and freeing them
from the necessity of exertiOn in self
support, is cruel kindness. In this
country, where primogeniture is not
recognized, where property is rarely
entailed, where fortunes are so con-
tinually shifting hands, where the rich
man of to-day may be the poor man of
to morrow, and where the petted and
INDUCED wife of the husband neglect
full of life insurance, has before her the
possibility of widOwhOOd and destitu-
ton, there is nothing SO wrong, so I'M
Just, so wicked. as training up women
to be so dependent on others, and of a
consequence so forlOrnly helpless when
their dependence fails them. Every
girl, as well as every boy, should have
some honest, self-suppOrting Occupa-
ton. There may never be need of its
practice on the part of the girl; but the
accomplishment will be valued one
nevertheless, for it will give her cOur
age to meet life, and whatever change
it may bring her. The long and short
of the matter is that girls must be
taught rs boys are taught, that it is dis
graceful to look to anOtherforth that means
of support which they are perfectly
competent TO acquire for themselves.

A Universal Language.

The New York. Times remarks that
the adoption of a universal language is
q desirable object to be attained, but it
may be asked, whether it is at all feasi-
BILE. international congresses are con-
vened to consider the expediency of q
uniform system Of money, weights, and
measures, or to promote international
legislation. If there is ever to be a
supreme tribunal to which nations shall
commit the guardianship of the peace
of the world, it looks almost like a
corollary of such an institution, to
agree upon the adoption of language
which shall be the common medium of
expression between all interested par
ties. AS to what language it shall be,
there is no pressing necessity for cavil-
ling about the merits of this or that
language. English and French appear
to us, the editor says, to combine most
of the qualities desirable in an inter-
national medium of communication.
The Germans would very likely bring
in a plea for German, and, indeed, if
we are led by the people who have the
biggest words, they have as good a
chance as any. - In the mean time,
as no international congress has yet to
decide which of the living idioms shall
be the international language of the
world, we can only recommend to our
readers to study well such as may be
useful to themselves, especially their
own.

The CoLoRs OF BIRDS WNGs.-It
would be an error to suppose that all
the exquisite metallic shades which
diaper the feathers of birds and the
wings of butterflies arise from pig
ments it was dream of the alchemists
to try to extract them. The sole cause
is the play of light, fugitive as the
sparkles of the diamond. When the
beautiful feathers on the breast of a
humming bird are examined under the
microscope it is astonishing to see none
of the shades, the mystery of which
You would penetrate. They are simply
made of dark brown Opaque substance,
not unlike those of black duck. There
is, however, a remarkable arrangement :;
the barb of the feather, instead of being
a fringed stem, offers a series of small
squares of horny substance placed point
to point. These plates. of finfinitesimal
size, are extremely thin, brown, and, to
all appearance, exactly alike, whatever
may be the reflection they give. The
brilliant large feathers of the peacock
are the same the plates are only at a
greater distance, and of less brightness.
They nave been described as SO many
little mirrors, but that comparison is
not correct, for then they would only
give back hgnt without eoloring it.
Neither do they act by decomposing
the rays which pass throagh them, for
then they would not lose their iris tints
under the microscope. 1t is to metals
alone that the metallic plumage of the
humming birds can be compared the
effects of the plates in a feather are like
tempered steel or crystallized bismuth.
Certain specimens emit colors very
variable under different angles, the
same scarlet feather becoming, when
turned to ninety degrees, beautiful
emerald green. - Popular Science

SCIENTIFIC.

The photographic Office at Paris has
begun process of engraving on copper
which promises by its rapidity and the
moderation of its price to be very widely
useful. 1t consists in substance, first,
in covering plate of copper with thin
shell of adhering silver, upon which is
spread thin layer of colored varnish ;
second, in drawing thereon, with dry
point, the lines, topography, and let
tering, precisely as one engraves with a
diamond upon stone third, in cor
roding the traces by means of the per-
chloride of iron.
While numerous processes for util-
izing the offal in the manufacture of
leather are in successful operation,
there has been a comparatively open
field respecting leather waste. AT the
Vienna Exhibition, leather was shown,
suitable for heels, toe-caps and inner
soles prepared from leather clippings,
according to a French method, by
simply mixing them with some adhesive
substance, forming the mass into rect
angular plates on top of each other,
subjecting them to hydraulic pressure,
and then drying and rolling them. This
article was restricted in use because it
could not Withstand moisture. A
Copenhagen firm, however, exhibited,
for the first time, an article made upon
an entirely different plan. The leather
scraps were first converted, in suit
able machine. into sort of leather wool,
which was then mixed with caoutchouc
and different chemical reagents, kneaded
by machinery into thick pasty mass,
and then formed in metal moulds and
dried, and subjected to gradually in
creasing pressure until it was finished,
under 5000 to 10000 pounds to the
square inch. The appearance of leather
is impaired to it by a light coating.
Articles manufactured from this mate
rial are said to be so per cent. cheaper
than those made from leather, and can
be made in the same manner, while
they are at the same time perfectly
water proof. Chemical investigation
shows it to consist of about 40 per cent.
caoutchouc and 60 per cent. leather.

AGRICULTURAL.

WINTER CARE OF TREEs.-Where
trees are purchased in the fall, many OF
them are lost through want of proper
care during the winter months, and
for this reason many wait till spring be-
fore buying. If trees, especially small
ones. are properly cared for through
the winter, it is better to get them in
the fall or, if they are grown on the
place, and to be replanted In the spring
they are better to be taken up at the
approach of cold weather, and heeled
in. This operation OF heeling is simple,
easy, and puts the trees in the very
best condition for keeping through the
winter; as. when they are thus treated,
there is no danger of heaving out by
frost, and the ends of the roots become
we'll calloused, and are ready to begin
a fresh growth at once, when planted IN
the spring. To heel in trees properly,
dig trench, say three feet wide, and
deep enough to cover the trees, foot
or so above the tops of the roots. Be
fore the trees are placed in the trench,
the roots should be dipped in what
nurserymen call grout, and other peo-
pie call thin mud. This gives each root
and fibre a coating of fine earth. This
done, place one row of trees against the
back-side of the trench, leaning against
the edge, and as thickly as they can
well stand, then carefully sprinkle fine
earth from in front of the trees, among
and around the roots, taking pains that
no air holes are left pack the earth
down firmly-there is no danger of it
being too solid-and when this row is
finished, the trench for the next row is
ready. The great point is to have the
earth filled in closely around every root,
and well packed down. If this is done
the trees Will be in better condition for
planting in the spring than if they had
been allowed to spend the winter where
they grew. If we were purchasing
trees from distance, we would much
prefer to get them in the fall, and have
them well heeled in through the winter,
so that we could have them ready at
the earliest possible moment for plant
ing in the spring.

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SUS.-M.
Wolfe considers that the emissive power
of the sun at a given point on its sur
face viii be the relation between the
intensity of the radiation emitted at
such point and the intensity of radia-
tiOn which a body, having an emissive
power equaI to unity and carried to the
temperature of the sun at the consid-
cred point would possess. SO that he
defines the true temperature of the sun
as the temperature which body of the
same apparent diameter as the sun
should possess in order that this body
having an emissive power equal to the
average of the solar surface, may emit,
in the same period, the same quantity
of heat as the sun. From experiments
made at different attitudes, NJ. Wolfe
determines the intensity of the solar
radiation, as weakened by passage
through the atmosphere, and finds, for
the effective temperature of the sun,
2,S22o Fab.
Investigations conducted with an
actinometer by the dynamic method
lead the investigator to conclude that
steel, as it emerges from a Siemens
Martin furnace, has a temperature of
2,732o Fab. If it be admitted that the
average emissive power of the sun is
sensibly equal to that of steel in state
of fusion, determined under like condi-
tion, it appears that the mean true tenn
perarure of the solar surface is about
3, 3,632o Fab.

PICKLED ONIoSs.-With pickles, as
with every other object in life, it is de-
sirable to make up your mind what you
wish for. Some like picked onions
soft some hard and nutty some think
them prettier when white and bottled
in colorless vinegar they often taste
of nothing but that and spices ; .but
in colored vinegar and less fiery condi-
ments, you can taste as well as see, that
you are eating picked onions. Gather
the onions dry expose them to the sun
and air for fortnight or so. Peel them
without too much waste. For soft
picked onions, throw them into boiling
salt and water, and boil until you can
put a steel fork into them. Skim out on
to rlatters to drain off, then put into
jars or bottles, and pour hot vinegar,
spiced to taste, over them. Cork up
tightly. For hard, white picked onions,
peel and scatter salt all over them, and
let them stand three days. Drain
through colander, pack in bottles, and
pour over them white vinegar, Chemists
