Ether.

Physicists recognize heat as a mode
of motion, and that it comes under
the cognizan:c of our perceptions by
the vibrations of atomic matter or
ether; of ether, incoercible, impon-
derablc, which fills ali the immensi-
ty of space and the depth of all bod
les. 1t is in this fluid that the stars
describe their orbits; in this fluid
atoms perform their movements and
describe their trajectories. Thus the
ether, the radiant messenger of heat
and light, conveys and distributes
their radiations through all the Uni
verse; and that which it loses in vi
bratory energy when it penctrates a
cold body, which it warns, it COM
municates to the atoms of this body
and augments the intensity Of their
movements; and that which it gains
in energy by contact with a warm
body which it cools, it withdraws
from this body and diminishes the
intensity of their vibratory move
ments. And this kind of light and
heat which comes from material bod
les is transmitted across space tooth
er material bodies.

ICE-wATER should not be used for dis

To CLEAN LAMP CHIMNEYs.-Putt the
chimneys in strong soda and water; let
it be only moderately hot. The longer
they lie in it the better. Rinse in cold
water, drain and polish by rubbing with
a soft cloth. In trimming kerosene
lamps, it is necessary only to remove the
cinders. The wick should be nearly
square, as a curved wick, though burning
clearly, will not give so much light.
ACCORDING to NEEDING, beautiful
Orange-yellow tone, much admired in a
chest at the Vienna Exposition, may be
impaired to lakewood by rubbing it in a
warm room with certain mixture until
it acquires dull polish, and then coat
ing it, after an hour, with thin polish, and
repeating the coating of polish to i'm
prove the depth and brilliancy of the
tone. The ingredients for the rubbing
mixture are about three ounces of tallow,
three-fourths of an ounce of wax, and one
pint of oil of turpentine, mixed by heat
ing together and stirring.
The French utilize chicken feathers in
the following way, which is pronounced
a decided improvement on the old
method: The plume portions of the
feathers are cut from the stem by means
of ordinary hand scissors. These are
placed in quantities in coarse bag,
which, when full, is closed and subjected
to a thorough kneading with the hands.
At the end of five minutes the feathers
disaggregated are felted together, form
ing down perfectly homogeneous and
of great lightness. 1t is said to be lighter
than natural elder down, because the
latter contains the ribs of the feathers,
which give extra weight. About one
and siX-tenths troy ounces can be OBJ
tanned from one pullet, and it sells in
Paris for about two dollars a pound.

were scarcely in the water before w,
were startled by crash, a peal, and ther

to our eyes a scene of wonder. Myriad

before the north wind.
When our bath was finished, very few
of them were left to annoy us as we re-

FRENCH CHIMNEY-SwEEPs.-Of all
the roguish, bright-eyed, impish-looking
creatures that walk the earth, the little
French chimney-sweeps GARY the palm.
Born and reared, no one knows where,
they appear in great numbers, and all
have the same saucy abandon, seen only
in boys of that class.
These small fry are up with the larks,
and as you are taking comfortable
morning dOze, you hear the clear,
childish voices crying, each one trying
to see which can scream the loudest,
&C Rysuaoe, : dp bo,,f on, hoe %
If you chance to look out of your
window, you will see tiny boy, dressed
in tight black clothes, barefoOted, with
a small skullcap drawn down over his
ears. Behind him is the man who
superintends the cleaning of the Chin
neys. You may wonder how such lit
tie fellow can be of any use to this man,
but the smaller the better.
When they come to chimney, the
man lifts the little sweep to the opening
at the bottom, and, with his long brush
in his hand, the boy scrambles up, and
up, until he reaches the very top, when
all of sudden you will see his little
black head popping out of the chimney
on top of the house.
1t takes short time only to do this
work thoroughly, and when the sweep
next appears, he is blacker than ever.
These sweeps are the bugbears of all
small, respectable children, and the
mention Of one to an unruly child is
sufficient to establish order at once.
In pairs, after their work is done, they
are seen on the boulevards, haunting the
cafes, and ] believe some of them pick
up quite meal from scraps of bread
and sugar thrown to them from the ia
bles. If they see nothing left on your
plate, they will come up to you, with
hand, and beg, " I'm sou, $ IL ro,.s plait,"
which seems to them large amount.
Few persons refuse them, and by mid
night they have collected quite enough
for nights lodging, and for breakfast,
which they generally eat along the street
as they 60 to their work. OF all the
gamins that have ever seen, these seem
to be the happiest. Although it may be
a short life, it is merry one.

Mrs. Petit.

She is too difiident to appear in public
as lecturer or even reader, and too uncon-
ventional to tolerate the fashionable
mobs of society. People who have been
stirred by her trenchant editorials, or have
felt the tears rise and their hearts soften
at the path0s Of her poems, manage with
difficulty to penetrate to her home, and
are amazed to find little roly poly, rose
tinted, merry dot of a woman, busted
with orphan asylums, or creches for babies,
or any other business which will bring
children about her. Her husband is
Professor j. Petit, well known to the
scientific world; he confesses that for
much OF the research in German libraries,
and all the statistics of his great work
on "The Political History of European
Peoples" we are indebted to his wife,
who felt it her duty to be his helpmate
in that work as much as in preparing the
delicious game suppers in which his soul
delights.
During the last two years as all the
writing world well knows, Mrs. Petit has
had charge of one of the leading month
ly periodicals of the country, the popular
author whose name weights it as editor
being only figure head for the public
eye. She has little closet of an office
in the publishing house, where she sits
for five hours day in close.ftting gown
of brown serge, graphing with the heap
of manuscript that grows with every
mail. There is probably no subject or
fact known to modern thought with
which she is not thus brought in contact
in the course of the year. At 4p.m. she
locks her office door, and goes home and
there is not more picturesque, or better
dressed woman, or daintier dinner in
New York, than those which welcome
her husband, and her boys an hour later.
Her sons are very proud of their little
mother; there is nothing which she does
not know, they will tell you, though,
perhaps, babies and pottery are her strong
points. She is infallible in questions Of
teething, and doles out the most advanced
theories of hygiene to young mothers.
Collectors of rare china, or Japanese
bronzes, take their specimens To her for

tell whether her touch is more affection.

Italian Wash.WOmen.

Wandering down one of the narrow
streets of Sienna, we came upon q low
roof supported by heavy columns. II
looked like mill-house, and rs a stream,
small but lively, dashed in at one end OF
the building and out at the other, we
concluded that it was factory of some
kind or other. When we came to it we
were saluted by twenty buxom women
who stood in a row along the side of a
stone cistern in the center of the shed
through which the stream was flowing.
Every woman had pile of linen at her
feet and garment in her hand which
she was washing in the ice-cold water.
This was one of the public wash-houses;
the matrons and maidens gather in them
to do their weeks work and learn the
news of the hour. Just fancy the gossip
that flows from those busy tongues in
the course of week. They all paused
for moment to exchange word with
us, and then the business of the day was
resumed without embarrassment, and as
pretty faces, big black eyes, and brawny
arms are not uncommon in Italy, we
withdrew. Twenty women switched
twenty damp garments in the air and
sent shower of drops over us; but it
was their way of bidding us farewell,
and as we shook the suds from our hats
they laughed Justify, for the episodes in
the lives of the watery nymphs of Sienna
are few. We are continually coming
upon these open-air laundries in every
town we visit, and, judging from the
good spirits that seem to prevail in every
cSse, IL must be rather jolly than other
WISE to be an Italian washer-woman.--
