How Chickens Get out of Shells.

Take an egg out of the nest on which
a hen has set her full time, carefully
holding it to the ear turning it around
you will find the exact spot on which
the little fellow ls picking at the inside
of the shell this he will do until the
inside skin is perforated, and then the
shell is forced outward on a small scale.
leaving a hole. Now, if you will take
one of the eggs in this condition from
under the hen, remove it to the house
or other place, put it in a box or nest,
keeping it warm and moist, as near the
e. mpsrature of the hen as possible
(which may be done by laying it be-
tween two bottles of warm water upon
some cotton or woo), and lay q glass
over the box or nest, then You can sit or
stand as is most convenient, and witness
the true nlodus OzDerandi. Now, watch
the little fellow work his way into the
world, and you will be amused and in
structed as have often been. After it
has got its opening. it commences a
nibbling motion with the point of the
upper bill on the outside of the shell,

and the hole upwsrd). until it has work

one-half an inch, in perfect circle. 1t
then forces the cap or butt end of the
shell off, and then has a chance to
strsiRhten its neck, thereby loosening
its legs somewhat, and so, by their help,
forcing the body from the shell.-Amer-

Explosive Force Of Volcanoes.

There has recently been an eruption
of one of the great volcanoes of Ice
land, and it is interesting to note that
some short time afterwards heavy rain
of ashes or sand took place from the
west coast of Norway to the Swedish
frontier the whole of the country was
covered with gray dust to such an ex.
tent that from pint of snow more than
a tablespoonful of residue was left after
the snow had melted. Some chemists
of Christiania have examined the ashes,
and one of them, Prof. Wage, states
that the dust consists OF little, irregu-
lar, but sharp edged grains, almost all
colorless-some few are of brown color,
and they consist principally of silicates.
Acids extract some lime, iron, and
alumina from their powder. The pro-
fessor thinks it likely that the dust orig
mates from the eruption in Iceland.
This view is confirmed by a mineralogi
cal investigation made on another
sample of the dnst at the Christiania
University by Prof. Kjerulf and Fearn-
ley; they recognized the dust to consist
OF fragments of pumice-stone which is
identical with the Hecla pumice-stone.
to Swedish newspapers some
traces of the dnst-fall were observed
even in the vicinity of Stockholm. The
from the Iceland volcanoes to
the Swedish frontier is about the same
as that from Mount Ena to the Baltic.

"That's my intimation," responded
Kirwan, land all my worldly affairs
settled"
Colonel Henry did not see the face of
inimitable drollerv that Mr.. Kirwan
assumed as he uttered the last obser-
walton, for his back was turned, and he
was halfway down the hall door steps,
hailing a passing carman.
Next morning the gallant bearer of
the cartel was at the house of the chal-
lerged party, who received him most
graciously.
But your friend, Mr.. Kirwan? l
don't see the gentleman to whom I ex-
pecteH to be presented" exclaimed the
colonel, looking not little surprised.
"Layve that to me-" kirwan remark
ed, very coolly. Business before
pleasure, if You p!ase. Have Won
brought my money! let's settle that
before We proceed to the sentimental
part of this matter"
"Certainly," replied Henry. ~Here's
h,ndred-pound Bank. of-Ireland note
at Your service, which discharges my
friends obligation"
And here's a receipt for that same.
with an apology for your friend, which
he and you wouid be the most unrea
| sonatle men alive not to accept and be
| thankful"
| "what then you don't intend to
| fight, after all ?" exclaimed The colonel,
on hearing what appeared to him an ex-
traordinary declaration, end perceiving
the perfectly ridiculous result which his
| grave embassy had at length been
| brought to. ''You won't fight ?" he
repeated.
| "The divil bit, colonel, honey and
| hats a. sure as nv name is Pilly Bir-
| wan. I unsay all I have said Of your
| friend, and apologize to him and you
| in the hardsomest manner"
al can't just at this moment see, u
ruminated the bafled envoy, chow my
principal is to come out of this affair
| creditably in this fashion"
| HE comes out of it with hying col
ors for his fellow citizens will think
more of him when they hear he has
paid his debts than if he had shot Billy
Kirwan."
The celebrated bill-broker of the
Dublin commercial buildings thus
brought this, at first sight, formidable
looking affair to successful conclu
sion, according to his notions of com
nonsense and common honor. Even
in a duelipg age, and by q fre-eatine
generation, people said when a quarrel
took place and money grievances was al
the bottom of it, "Settle the latter
first, and the former afterward ;" and
before running a debtor to the wall,
"Take Billy Kirwan's advice, and DOM
fire against your own money"

HOW TO MANAGE FADrEN HORSE.
A Canadian journal contains the fol-
lowing instructions In a country IKE
Canada. where the roads are often clad
in ice. and the horses frequently not
properly shod, and where onow-banks
are sometimes as high as d fence,
through which the animals are apt to
break when thaw sets in, it is not an
uncommon thing to see horses falling,
both in the saddle and harness. The
first thing to be done is not to Jump off
and apply the too OF your boot to his
ribs, nor yet to wind the whip lash
around your hand and apply the stalk
to his back but at once secure the
head to prevent him from in1uring it
upon the ground, then have the harness
unbuckled as quickly as possible, and
run the vehicle back next raise its
head and support it until he gets upon
his feet. If he appears weak or has
been stunned By the fall. steady him
for little while,

that on ten per cent. of these farms

The Solar Spectrum in Rings.

The most important instruments
furnished to the English eclipse party,
and those from which the most impor.
tant results are anticipated, are the
prismatic cameras. These are thus
described in a recent number of the
London Times The instruments termed
"prismatic cameras D. are ordinary
81 inch acromatics, with a large pIis On
of small angle outside the object-glass,
and camera replacing the eye-piece
Suca an instrument will give q spectra
of small dispersion. OF course, with
such an instrument as this employed on
the full sun, the impression on the
plate would be q blurred spectrum con-
tanning no detail, but as the advancing
moon reduces the part of the sun still
remaining visible to a thin silver cres-
cent, then the instrument will begin its
work the actual shape and thickness
of each stratum of vapor above the
photosphere will be impressed by each
colored ray its light contains, and will
stand out on a band of continuous
spectrum, which will get feebler and
narrower as the silver crescent Trims to
nothIngness. Then the whole ring of
chromosphere and coronal atmosphere
which will burst upon the eye will be
sorted out if all goes we'll into it's
various metallic constituents by means
of chain of rings of greater or less
thickness and regularity upon the pho
tographic film. The vapors extend
ing furthest outwards from the
philosophers will be represented by
the broadcast rings, those lying closest
to the philosophers by the narrow
est. The instructions are careful to
insist upon complete rehearsals before
the day of the eclipse, SO that we may
be assured that the simple programme
we have sketched may be simply carried
out, and that the observers will not
attempt too much. It is as we'll to state
this because persons unaccustomed to
observations might imagine from the
of detail in the instructions
that the labors OF the observers will be
more than ordinarily complicated.

The Evaug alists in London.

/ Colonel Forney has been attending
the services of Moody and Sankey, the
evangelists, in London, and writes
home 1t was strange to watch the
effect of the appearance of these two
| men, separated as they were instantly
| from the large concourse of clergymen
around them and the dense back ground
| of ladies and gentlemen ctowding the
platform. They we're instantly chosen
! out and their presence Immediately
stilled the audience. The opening
feature was hymn given out by Mr..
Moody, the first verse of which was {:
Oh, think of the home, over there,
by the side Of the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal and fair
Are robed in their garments of white,
Over there, over there, over there,
Oh, think Of the home over there
in which the whole body of the people
joined, rising after the Methodist fash
ion. In the front of the five tiers of
these circling boxes; which should
think were at least twice the size of the
tiers of our Academy Of Music, stood
the females of the congregation, each
with hymn book in her hand. Sankey
led the great chorus, though his voice
could not be heard, and the regularity
and harmony of the whole proceeding
was singularly impressive. After this
prayer, then short exhortation by
an English clergyman, then another
hymn, chorus led by the people, and
then Moody stepped forward, and, in
military and somewhat impatient voice.
exclaimed. ''Now let us have No. 43 !"
sung by Sankey alone. Tie first stanza,
succeeded by four other verses, was as
follows
There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold,
But one WAS out in the hills away,
Far on from the gates of gold.
Away on the mountains wild and BARE
Away from the tender Shepherds care.
We sat at tho extreme end of the i'm
mense temple, on the very last bench,
near the door, and SO clear was Sankey's
voice and SO distinct and sharp cut his
articulation, that every word and
syllable and information could be heard
with singular sweetness. It was not
ton in the pronunciation, and there
was little western twang but could
readily understand how hymn SO sung
and intoned, 30 metallic and ringing,
would reach hearts already more than
half prepared to approve. At the end
of every verse he would pause for nearly
a minute. and the silence intensified the
deep emotion of the mass and then he
resumed very low, and rose to the last
like the prolonged note of a cornet or
bugle. There was number of other
exercises, but Moody was the chief
character. have heard and read him
somewhat carefully. One of his SER
mons suffices for all. It was that
preached few days ago, when the royal
box was occupied by the Duchess of
Sutherland, Lady Constance Leveson-
Cover, and the Duke and Duchess of
st. Adams. 1t is not an argument in
any sense, and scarcely a defamation,
but rather an exhortation, the point
being that to know Christ We must know
him first as our Saviour. All through
ran series of quaint comparisons and
incidents.

Don't Worry About Yourself.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
corning disease. The mind has power
over the body. For q person to think
he has a disease will produce that dis
ease. This We see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated upon the
disease of another. It is found in the
hospitals that surgeons and pbysi-
clans who make a specially of GER
tain diseases are liable to die of it
themselves and the mental power is SO
great that sometimes people die OF dis
eases which they have only in imagina-
ton. We have seen a person sea sick
IN anticipation of a voyage before reach
ing the vessel. We have know a person
to die of cancer in the stomach when
they had no cancer or any mortal dis
ease. A blindfolded man slightly
pricked in the arm has tainted and died
from believing that he was bleeding to
death. Therefore, we'll persons, to re-
main we'll, should be cheerful and
happy; and sick persons should have
their attention diverted as much as
possible from themselves. It is by
their faith that men are saved; and it
is by their faith they die. As man
thinketh SO he is. If he Wills not to
die, he can often live in spite of disease;
and if he has little or no attachment to
life he will slip away as easily as a child
will fall asleep. Men live by their
souls and not by their bodies. Their
bodies have no life of themselves they
are only receptacles of life, tenements
for their souls, and the will has much
to do in continuing the physical occu
pancy or giving it up.-Rura1 NeW
