Something To Do.

If any of us have sometimes felt a lit
tie down at the moderate gains of the
farmer and his hard work, in comparison
with some other kinds of business, we
have gotten over it this winter when we
see SO many compelled to be idle. What
blessed thing to have always something
to do! How many fears and anxieties
are shut out by it! How much health
and cheerfulness come of it! The farm.
er is never compelled to be idle. He
always has something to do worth doing,
and ne gets sure pay, if it is perhaps
rather moderate. have sometimes prom

The correspondents of the London
Times have been discussing several mat
tiers connected with the weather, one of
whom makes the following very sensible
remarks in regard to economizing the
heat of the body: He warns persons
against allowing themselves to be un-
necessarily cold within doors, comparing
it to the act of . spendthrift who wastes
his capital in his youth and has NO in
come left for his old age. To keep
warm, to retain heat within the body
instead of spending it, is just as judi
cious as to husband money with proper
economy, and every one who wishes to
be able to face cold with impunity
should regard the avoidable expenditure
and loss of heat a. foolish extravaganza

How Smooth B ore Cannon Are Rif1ed.

THE invention which has made the
proposed change practicable is riflled
steel core, which is introduced into the
old smooth-bore guns. The castmetal
guns are heated, which expands the bore.
While in this condition the rifled steel
core is driven in, and when the iron
cools 1t shrinks on the core, holding it
hard and fast. This steel core is found
to add greatly to the strength of the gun.
The cannon thus reconstructed is prac-
tically new weapon of double strength
for longer range and extraordinary pen
etrating power. In this manner large
old-style ordnance, rendered utterly USE
less by the improvements in iron ship
building, becomes thoroughly efficient.
As stated by the President a ten-inch
smooth bore can thus be converted into
an eight-inch rifle, capable of piercing
over foot of iron. This is rather under
stating than overstating the efficiency of
the newly-invented rifle-bore. The ex-
periments at Boston some months since
showed that these remodeled guns drive
bolt at short range through fourteen
inches of iron and into thick oaken
wood beyond. At longer range the force
was correspondingly great, throwing
either bolt or a shell. The London
Times, in commenting on these expert
ments, said that if they were correctly re-
ported these new rifle-cannon could
pierce and explode any iron-clad man-of-
war in the British navy.-Chicago Trib-
une.

A $500 Counterfeit.

One of the Secret Service officers Of
the United States Treasury Department
recently discovered that $500 United
States Treasury note had been in circula-
ton in Maine about which there was a
doubt as to genuineness. The note was
found at one of the banks in that State
which had stopped its circulation, al
though the cashier was himself in doubt
as to whether it was a counterfeit or
otherwise, it having been examined
at the bank by gentleman who is
engaged in teaching the art of detect
ing counterfeit money, and pronounced
by him a genuine bill. It was sent to
this city and has been examined by the
chief operative of the Boston district
of the Secret Service Division and by
an expert at the Sub Treasury, who
both have pronounced it q counterfeit.
For the benefit of that portion of the
public who have many five-hundred bills
we have made an inquiry at the New
England office of the Secret Service in
this city and Mr.. Kent informs us that
the difference between a genuine $500
United States Treasury note and the
counterfeit is that on the genuine the
buttons on the coat of John Quincy
Adams are perfectly round, while on the
counterfeit they have an irregular or
more Of an octagonal form; on the genu-
inc the small toes of the female figure
of Justice are full and natural, while on
the counterfeit the small toes are very
small and the little ones very obscure
He says there are very few of these
notes in circulation or even in existence
and that probably no counterfeit, not
excepting the fives of the Traders Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, has ever been
issued which is SO well calculated to
deceive.-Boston Journal

A FRENCH maniac is doubtless the
maddest of all madmen, and the French
method of capturing him may be classed
among national novelties. 1t comes to
us fresh and interesting as the announce
ment of the latest fashions
In small town in France there was a
French mailman. He shut himself up in
lonely house and fred at the passers-
by. After several people had been
wounded in this manner the police were
informed Of the case. A Brigadier and
two gendarmes were dispatched to cap
ture the mailman. They found him
guarding his door with double barrel
gun. They appealed to his reason to
surrender, as they were three against one,
but he could not see cause and threat
ened to kill the officers if they ap-
preached. They approached, the mad
man fired, killing the Brigadier and
binding one of his men. The other man,
supposing there were no more shots in
the locker, sprang forward and received
a pistol-bullet in his heart. This ended
that squad Of police. The telegraph
brought all the magistrates of the
nelghborhood, the Captain of gen
darmes and a large force Of police
men to the scene. 1t was intensely
dramatic. The force besieged the lonely
house, and the siege lasted all day. Shut
up in his house the mailman dared any
of the outsiders to approach. They kept
at respectful distance, and finally re.
tired under cover of the night. The next
day the siege was renewed The mailman
fired shot now and then to remind the
force that his flag was still there. 1t was
very uncertain how many arms and how
much ammunition he had. Another Brig
adler had been killed and several gen
darmes severely wounded The magis-
trates got out of patience, and they or.
dered the house to be fred. This was
done. Now the scene was ravishingly
dramatic. The mailman refused to Weld
or come out of his fortress, and he died
fighting the flames and defying the be
sieging army. But the mailman was
captured, and the last act was horribly
dramatic.-St. Louis Republican.

A Story Of a Sparrow.

A WRITER in the London Science Gossip
relates remarkable story of his expert
ence with founding sparrow. Three
years ago young sparrow fell at his feet
upon the pavement from house-roof.
He carried it home, where a servant girl
took it in charge and swathed and ten
derby nursed and fed it, administering to
it sopped bread from her own mouth.
The bantling took to its foster-mother
and to its diet, and grew to full stature.
It was finally, with desire to give it its
liberty, placed in the garden, where it
remained until another sparrow, appar-
emily of its own age, made love to it, and
finally enticed it away to more natural
condition of sparrow life; but not so far
away as that it forgot its early friends,
whom it frequently visited, and con-
tinued to recognize with signs of affec-
ton. If the nurse was in the garden, the
grateful little creature would fly to her,
perch upon her head or shoulder, and re-
tain its position when she was walking,
gathering flowers, or the like; and it was
perfectly at home with all the household.
A pane of glass in kitchen window was
fitted with hinge for the admission of
the interesting pet, which did not fail at
breakfast, dinner or supper time to
make its appearance, and tap at the win
dow with its beak until it was opened for
its entry, when it would fly to its loved
and faithful nurse and partake of its
usual feed from her mouth. This happy
intercourse has been continued for three
or four years, during which the sparrow
has raised three or four broods, on which
occasions food has been left for it upon
the window SO as TO be at all times ac-
cessible for supplies to the rising genera
ton. On one of these occasions the
member of its visits to the food was no
less than 237 in one day.

AN account is published of an inter-
esting exhibition of telegraph machines,
worked exclusively by air, lately given
in London by Mr.. Gauttaris, the in
ventor. A number Of different instru-
ments were on view. The impulse is
produced at one end of a tube by the
operator, and performs the mechanical
work at the other end, either by ringing
. bell or turning needle round a dial.
A rapidity and precision can be made
equal to the electric telegraph, the con-
Quoting tube being able to be laid under
or over cover in the same manner as the
ordinary telegraph. Attached to each
machine is q bell and dial, and the mes
sage is transmitted by the moving of !
small lever, which drives the air through
pipe to the other operator. As the
lever is moved up and down the dial,
which stands where the message is des-
tined for, registers whatever the words
may be. Each dial is supplied with q
needle; and rs each squirt Of air presses
against the words of the machine the
needle is moved exactly the number OF
times that the lever is pressed. Each
instrument can receive or send q mes.
sage about 400 yards, and is, therefore.
Of special convenience for private inter-
communication.

Why He Wore q Wig.

Boutwell,, a noted man in his day, a

ing story:
The Colonel was uncommonly bald
and without his heavy, dark wig looked
not bit like himself. Once he was in
the wash-room of the pavilion, and, for
the convenience Of his additions, had laid
aside his wig. Presently young, spruce
chap, with extremely red hair, came in.
Noticing the Colonel's nude head he in
CURED:
"Well, Colonel, why don't you have
some hair on your head?"
It was an impudent question, and the
Colonel knew it. Looking savagely at
the red head Of the saucy young stran-
ger he replied:
when they made me and had me all
finished except my hair they told me
they had nothing left except red hair.
told them then ! wouldn't have any. 1
would rather 60 without. They might
save that for impudent young popinjays
and FOOLS"
The young inquisitive and joker was
perfectly willing to drop the subject.
