Ancient and Modern cities.

One turns naturally to the East
for the ruins OF ancient cities and lost
empires, and the plains Of Mesopota-
mia and the Syrian deserts offer list
of fallen marts Of commerce and
early centres of civilization, hidden
beneath their sands, or marked only
by few tall and shattered columns.
The Chicagos and Cincinnatis Of the
past once lined the banks of the
Tigris and the Euphrates, or sprang
up in the track Of the caravan, and
wanting chiefly the mental elements
of later progress, perisbed wholly IN
the midst Of their greatness. No
modern city has ever met with 50
complete a ruin as Babylon and
Tyre; all the great centres OF mod
ern commerce seem gifted with
civic immortality. The printing
press and the school-house, the tele-
graph aud the steam-car, unite to
shield London and Paris from decay,
and New York and Philadelphia, in
nearly the hundredth anniversary Of
their freedom, are MANAGED by few
Of the perils that surrounded Car
thage and Rome. Men have become
somewhat more discreet since the
world was governed by Sennaeheribs
and Nebuchadnezzars. Yet tour
over the ruins Of the Eastern capt.
tails. and down those famous rivers
where Semiramis lGbored and Israel
sang its immortal lament, has always
o strange interest, and no one treads
the Mesopotamian plains or specu-
lates upon the site of Babylon with
out feeling that the deft fingers Of the
Assyrian Weavers have instructed the
modern artist, and that the inventions
and devices of the merchants and
mechanics Of Mesopotamia were not
lost to the factories of New York.
Cities perish, but knowledge never
and the aowered muslins and paint
ed vases of the East live again in
the looms Of Lyons and the furnaces
of SevTes.-EUGENE LAWRENCE, in
Hqlper's Magazine for March.

Metallic Floors.

A method has been devised for
rendering floors to a certain degree
fre-proof, by employing long fiat
bars of thin sheet metal, with per-
pendicular fange turned on each
edge. Other long thin bars which
are curved or arched, and revited at
or near their edges to the first named
strips, are placed edgewise vertically,
one between each two, the conuec-
ton being so arranged that the tops
of the arches do not rise quite as
high as the tops Of the first set of
bars. Narrower strips are also ar
ranged across and rsvited to the
lower hanges at suitable intervals
apart, to serve as laths for holding
the ceiling plastering to be applied to
them, as well as to brace them later
ally. Similar strips are arranged
across and riveted to the upper
AaDges, or wood pieces may be bolt
ed on to receive and support the floor
boards. The outside hanges are
built into and rest in the wall and
other fanges may be applied, if de-
sired, to the outside strip for letting
into the wall. For a floor of great
length the bars are Tapped and
riveted.

The variety and number OF needles
made in these days are wonderful;
the surgeon, harness maker, book
binder, felt worker, saddle glover,
embroiderer and housewife, each
wanting needles Of all shapes, and
sizes, and lengths. And when you
think that each needle has to pass
through seventy pair Of hands before
it is finished and for use, you see
what pains il taken to reach excel
Ience in a very small thing.
Seventy pairs Of hands to make a
needle! and each pair necessary to
make the needle perfect. Ifonly one
pair refused to do their part, the whole
would be a failure-uOt needle
would be right.
You see it is painstaking in little
things and in small parts which leads
to excellence and success We are
ap. to slight bits Of work, thinking 1t
is no matter and Of no account. But
It is not 80. The details Of a plan
must be faithfully carried out in or
der to make the plan success. II
the parts Of the work are all well
done, the whole will be complete, and
only then.
And it is just so 10 making and
moulding character. 1t must be well
done in parts, faithfully finished 10
bits, in order to make complete and
beautiful whole
Always be sure that all the small
and common work which you have
to do is thoroughly dOHe. Il faith
fulness in little things which makes
you reliable in great things.

Genuine Hospitality.

The hospitality Of the home is
never loudly and noisily demonstra-
tive. It never overwhelms you with
its greeting, though you have not a
doubt of its perfect sincerity. You
are not disturbed by the creaking Of
the domestic machinery, suddenly
driven at unwonted speed for your
accommodation Quietly it does its
work; that it may put you in peacea-
BILE possession of its results He is
not the true host, she is not the best
hostess, who is ever going to and
from, with hurried action, and fur
ried manner, and heated countenanee,
as if to say, "See how hospitable |
can be; but rather the one who
takes your coming with quiet digni-
ty and noisless painstaking; who
never obtrudes attentions, yet is very
attentive all the while; who makes
you, in one word-the most express
sive word in the English tongue--to
be at home. There is no richer,
deeper, larger hospitality than that.

Rapid bleaching OF Linen.

According to the experience Of
some, time may be saved by bleach
ing linen by the following process:
Rub the linen as it comes from the
loom, in a dry condition (best on a
table), with brush, with a lather Of
soap made by boiling Il pounds Of
soap for piece of coarse linen, or
one pound for piece Of fine, and Al
lowing it 20 cool; then cover the linen
in a tub with a cloth. Prepare I've,
for piece of linen, by boiling one
half busbel Of good sifted beech
wood ashes in rain or spring water,
and filtering it through q lye-basket,
bring it to boiling in q clean kettle,
and pour it upon the linen. Cover
the vessel well, so that the warmth
and moisture may be retained as long
as possible, and allow it to stand
over night Spread the linen on the
grass in the morning, see to it that no
spots become dry during the day,
and cover at night again with the
boiling lye Turn the linen on the
second day, and expose as before,
without allowing it to become dry,
and steep it over night in weak hot
soap-suds in a well-cOvered vessel
Wash out the dissolved dirt ia the
morning, and expose again, without
allowing it to dry before evening,
and then treat in the usual way until
it is as white as may be desired; six
to eight days often being sufficient.
If necessary, however, the soaping
and sleeping may be repeated as be-
fore, when only two days additional
bleaching will be required.

The British Indian Policy.

A writer in the February OcerlqRd
speaks in glowing terms Of the In
dian policy pursued by the British
government through the Hudson Bay
company. The policy Of this CON-
pany has been peculiarly fortunate.
They have accepted the Indian as
thew found him-as God made him.
They have stri7en to utilize, rather
than civilize or eyangelize him. They
have taught the red man to respect
them as masters; but while ruling
them sternly they have treated them
with Justice. All contracts they have
kept faithfully; no shoddy is found
in their articles of barter, and the
agents Of the company are upright
and downright in their dealings. The
consequence Of all this is that their
word is never doubted, any violation
Of the law is infexibly punished,
and murders and outrages rarely &C
cur. The Hudson's Bay people re-
cognize an existing state Of things;
they leave the Indian undisturbed IN
bis moral condition, control the evil
in him By fear, fairly reward the
good, and are successful

Johnny clemm,, Den. up in Bronze

BArlett's sketch, in bronze, of
Johnny Clemm, the famous "drum-
mer boy of Chickamaugs," on ex-
hibition at Tifany's, in New York,
is thus described:
"The little drummer who said
carry me and I'll drum it through,
is boisted on the left shoulder Of a
stalwart soldier, his left leg, which is
wounded, hangs loosely behind, and
the right is firmly grasped by his
bearer, who rushes forward with his
burden. The little figure is further
supported by the right hand OF the
soldier, who reaches up over his
head and holds the boy by a vigorous
grasp on his belt. The drummer is
barebeaded, his hair flies in the
breeze, be wears no jacket, and his
nervous arms are halt bare. His face
is sharply turned toward his follow
ers, to whom be yells-not shouts
hourisbing his drumstieks the while. >

Comments on Dad. q

Yesterday afternoon two strangers

panies Of Marquette are on opposite
sides Of the street. Both Of these Of
fees, by a curious coincidence, use
the letters n. " as their signal. A

Northwestern heard a weather re-
port addressed to Detroit, and n. Y, ,
ticking on the instrument in his Office.

The Grief of a Rhinoceros.

Even a rhinoceros is capable Of
grief, according to q Paris correspond
ent, who tells the following anecdote
of the rhinoceros which recently died
in that city. The animal had been
in the collection at the Jardin des
Plantes for twenty years, but was Of
an unsociable and iraseible temper,
and not even his keepers ventured to
take any liberties with him. One
day, however, the little lap-dog Of
the wife of the director, given her by
Queen Amelia, got into bis house by
squeezing in between the bars Of the
iron work. Instead Of killing the in
truder, as expected, the rhinoceros
allowed the little creature to play
with him, scampering over bis back,
biting bis neck, and playing of all
manner Of spOrtive tricks. The two
became great friends; the "wee dog
gle" passing several hours each day
with his undemonstrative acquaint-
ance which put up patiently with all
its teasings. One day the rhinoe-
eros inadvertently set bis foot on bis
pet, killing it instantly. The poor
brute's grief at the catastrophe was
pitiable; for two days it did not eat
a particle Of food.

Burning Iron.

The eOmbustibility of iron is q
chemical fact well known, but a Ber-
lin experimenter has demonstrated
the phenomenon in q manner peculiar
ly bis own. He takes straight bar
magnet Of some power, and sprinkles
iron filings on one end Of its poles.
These filings arrange themselves in
accordance with the lines ofmagnetic
force, and, however, closely they
may appear to be packed, Of course
no two Of the metallic flaments are
parallel, and consequently a certain
portion Of air is enclosed, as in a me-
tallic sponge. The fame Of an or
dinary spirit lamp or gas-buruer
readily ignites the finely divided iron,
and it continues to burn most bril-
lisntly for considerable length OF
time, the combustion being, apparent
", as natural and easy as that Of an
ordinary substance. If the expert
menter with this operation stands on
slight elevation, and waves the
magnet to and fro while burning, =
most magnificent rain Of Ere Is said
TO be produced

Know TbyscIE

"If we knew half as much Of man on
this continent as Agassiz has taught
US of turtles, or his son has taught
Us of echinoderms, we should be
most Fortunate So speaks Dr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes in bis last
essay on "The Americanized Europe
an" This being true, it would seem
as if some of the energy devoted TO
the study of animal life might to
great advantage be directed TO a
pursuit that concerns the welfare of
the human race almost as much as q
knowledge of tortoises or sea-urchins.
"Few Subjects" DR. Holmes informs
US, "would repay investigation bet
ter than that Of human development
and health, at different ages and in
the two sexes, in the different re-
gions of America" Unfortunately
for US, while the study Of marine life
has enlisted the devotion Of very
superior minds, the question of hu-
man development has attracted the
attention of host Of charlatans and
half educated theorists who have con-
fused the world with q mass Of pure
" mendacious or halfdigesteds utter
anees upon the subject. Ifa thorough
ana intelligent investigation Of all
the phenomena pertaining to the race
in America would, as DR.. Holmes de-
clares, repay the inquiry, let US hope
that some of our wise men cfscience,
our cool, balanced, large Drained men,
will take the subject up, and pursue
tat least far enough to generalize
