ANILINE INKs.-The majority of ami
line colors soluble in water furnish
inks of excellent quality. Dingler's
Polytechnische Journal of recent date
gives the following practical recipes for
their preparation, by which any one can
make the fluids very easily: Violet ink
is obtained by dissolving one part of
aniline violet blue in 800 parts of water.
This ink is quite limpid, dries quickly.
and gives a remarkably dark color. It
is necessary that new pens should be
employed in using it, as the smallest
quantity of ordinary ink mixed with it
causes its alteration. Blue ink is made
by dissolving one part of soluble Paris
blue in $50 parts of boiling water red
ink, by dissolving one part of soluble
fuchsin in 200 parts of boiling water.
While ordinary inks are decomposed by
numerous substances, and notably by
hydrochloric acid, aniline inks are
completely ineffaceable from the paper
on which they are used. They resist
the action of acids and even of chlorine.

SCIENTIFIC.

A NEW SPrpER. Wilder
says, in the Popular Sciences Monthly
for April ''Strolling through the
woods near Ithaca, N. T., one October
afternoon, I saw, upon leadess hem
lock branch, what looked like . piece
Of the net Of some gcometrical spider
Still, there was Q regularity in this
triangular net which did not accord
with the idea of its being Q fragment.
A closer examination showed that its
form and structure were perfect and
unbroken and moreover that, instead
of hanging loosely from the twigs, it
was upon the stretch, as II constantly
drawn by Q power at one or the other
end. On touching the net to determine
its degree of tension, what was my
amazement to see it suddenly loosened
with Q snap, as if let 60 at one end ?
Nor was my wonder diminished when,
moment afterward, the net slowly
regained its original condition, by q
steady pulling upon . short line con-
nected with the apex. And now / saw
the puller-s little dull-colored spider,
about one-eighth of an inch long
hanging from the under side OF the
apeI-line and hauling it in, not '.hand
over hand as it first appeared, and as
one would suppose by analogy with
sailors operations, but "foot over
foot; :" in short, with its hinder legs
moved alternately so Is to gradually
take in that part of the line which in
tervened between its body and the twig
to which it was attached.
When this line was all taken in the
spider was close against the twig. and
its legs we're drawn together, SO that
the whole formed a compact brown
mass about the size and shape of q
raisin seed, and differing 80 little in
appearance from the projections of the
dried hemlock twigs among which the
net was built that felt in part excused
for not having noticed the little crea-
ture before.

In HARDENING and tempering steel, q
clean charcoal, anthracite. or coked
bituminous coal fire is required such

iron is entirely unfit for hardening pur-
poses. The sulphur contained in the

Cop LOVES BEAUTY.-I do not think
We fully realize, any of us, how much
worship there is in the mere act of
creating beauty; not only the beauty
of loving looks and deeds, but beauty
Of form and color and proportion. God
loves beauty. Every star that shines,
every flower that blooms, every dew
drow that glistens in the sun, proves
this and believe that every woman
who strives to make her own home and
her own life beautiful, serves God in
this as truly as she serves him upon
bended knees or in the holy services of
the sanctuary. And in Just so far as
she fails of making that home and that
life as beautiful as she can, in Just so
far does she fail Of her duty to God and
man.

ENCoUnAGING.--Th local editor of the
Virg. Enterprise has seen letter from
young New Yorker asking what show
there is for work in Nevada. The editor
encourages immigration by advising the
young man to come right on:
As soon as he sets foot among the
sagebrush he will find himself stranger
in strange land. A very strange land;
a land of awful extremes, where the bent
bodies of the bald and beetling noun

blossom as the rose, but more frequently
upon barrenness and desolation; yet q

bled surface, holds treasures which
outshine the wealth of Ormus or of

ceases, but from morn till noon, from
noon till night and night till morn again,
day after day, week after week, month
after month, year after year, with inces-
SAINT application, digs and delves and

hungry men who, day after day, till hope

weary rounds searching in vain for

prices for supplies which will open your
eyes. Board from 81 to $40 per week.

are one OF those who try to steal sleep

advance to $40 or ten days in Jail.

owEARIsoME condition of humanity!


How many wretchcd homes in our land!
How many heart broken invalds! Life with
many signifies mere onerous existence.
All are subject to disease, but when health
Is removed the hope is nearly gone out.
Sickness is usually incurred through expo
sure or carelessness Especially Is this true
with those diseases peculiar to women.
Through her own imprudcnce and folly she
Is made to drag out a miserable existence
n source Of annoyance and anxiety to her
friends, and anything but a comfort and
pleasure to herself. Exposure to the cold at
times when she should be most prudent, and
overtaXing her body with laborious employ
ment, are both fruitful causes of many Of
the maladics from which She suffers. Grad
ually the bloom leaves her cheeks, her lips
grow ashy white, her yivacity departs, she
continually experiences feeling Of wcari-
ness and general languor, and altogether
presents a ghostly appearance. What does
she NEEDY Should she take some stimulat-
ing drug, which will for the time make her
"Teel better" or does her'entirc system de-
mand reparation. She requires something
which not only will restore to health the dis
eased organs, but will tone and invigorate
the system. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrp-
ton will do this. 1t imparts strength to the
diseased parts, brings back the glow OF
health, and restores comfort where previous
ly there was only suffering

The State Normal School at ALBANY

students during the thirty years of its ex

German churches in the United States
about 100 preachers, and about $500

The cost of the schools was 50, 6S4-for

The success of the American Board
of Foreign Missions in reducing its de.
ficlency of 100000 for the years ex-
penses to s. 600 is creditabie to its con
stituents and cheering rs sign of the
financial state of the country. The
Evangelist uses this fact as motive for
the Presbyterians to provide tor their
deficiency, which is very near the same
sum.
Education has made considerable
progress in South Carolina. There are
10, 416 children in actual attendance up-
on the free schools, almost one half of the
school population of the State. An ef-
fort will be made during the present ses.
sion of the Legislature to extend the av
erage period for keeping open the schools
from four and half to six months in each
year.
The provision made for the support of
free schools IN the proposed new Consti-
tuition for Texas includes one. fourth of
the general revenue, the interest on the
school fund and the poll tax. These
sources will yield an annual revenue of
1850, 900. The State has 10000, 600 acres
of school lands, which are to be sold for
the benefit of the school fund, which will
increase it, it is believed, to $50, 900, 900.
