mirer of Washington, and who hated Jeffer-
son with corresponding bitterness, that
when Washington died the Rev. DIR. Ban
croft was almost inconsolable. A friend re-
monstrated with him and in endeavoring tc
console him said: "Washington was good

miserable democrats will slip in."

When the Chipmue ks 20 to work.

About Aug. Is they commenced to
playful, careless creatures that lived
from hand to mouth they became very
busy and sober indeed. Instead of
keeping comparatively near home they
wandered quite distance for them, ,and
filling both cheekpOuches full of corn,
chincapins dwarf chestnuts) and small
acorns, home they would hurry, look
ing, in the face, like children with the
mumps. This storing away of food
was continued until the first heavy
white frOsts, when the chipmucks, as a
member of Congress once said, went
Unto a state of retiracy."
The food gathered, we believe, is
consumed in part on their going into
winter quarters. they spending some
time in their retreats before cOmmen-
cling their hibernsting sleep. This be
lief. on our part, is based on q result of
digging out third nest on the Sd of
November. The last time we noted
down seeing a chipmuck belonging to
a certain nest was Oct. %. Twelve
days after we very carefully closed the
three passages that led to the nest and
dug down. We found four chipmucks
very costly fixed for winter in a roOmy
nest, and all of them thoroughly wide
wake. Their store of provisions was
wholly chestnuts and acOrns, and the
shells of these nuts were all pushed in
to passages so that there should be no
litter mingled with the soft hay that
lined the nest. How long this under
ground life lasts before Information
really commences it is difficult to de-
termine /; but as this torpid state does
not conclude until their food supply is
again obtainable out of doors the chip
mucks, no doubt, store away sufficient
for their needs throughout the early
spring, and until berries are ripe.-Dr.
dbbOft, in Popular Science Monthly.

Of the periphery. On them may be built
ideals which the dawn of verify will not
topple down.
The positive and negative, the mascu-
line and feminine elements, being essen
tial to sterling and lasting friendship,
its simplest and fittest form is between
man and woman. Between the sexes
there is no direct rivalry: their fields Of
activity lie asunder, and rivalry is the
sapper of mans concord with man. We
hear much Of generous rivalry; but on
examination the generosity lessons and
the rivalry increases. Rivalry long
continued among men must end in sue
cess for one and comparative failure for
the other. He who succeeds may be
magnaminous; but to him who has not
succeeded magnanimity looks like pat
ronage. No proud individual spirit can
quite forgive itself for failure, from
whatever cause; and inability to forgive
ourselves seeks vent in cOndemning
others. Such spirit, to be broad, must
be among the first: must govern the
opportunity for mastership.-Gd,dry.

Asking the Commons for Money.

When Cardinal Wolsey asked the
House of Commons to grant his master
f200, 900 year for four years, in order
to carry on his Government, that as
sembly asked to see the accounts of their
last subsidy. They received a very rough
answer; and, as they declined, in the
absence of the accounts, to vote more
than half the sum demanded they were
dismissed, and not allowed to meet again
for seven years. Fifty-three years after
ward Queen Elizabeth, being very hard
pressed for money, and finding in her
Parliament yet sturdier spirit than
that which had opposed her father, di-
rected Mildmay to produce to the House
of Commons her accounts of expendi-
ture, not of right, but ''of the Queens
grace. Stuart Princes failed where
Tudors had not succeeded, and the de-
mands and answers between King and
Parliament, from the time of James ac-
cessiOn to the time of the final flight of
his grandson, were but provOcatives
to those actions which rendered the
Stuart dynasty impossible in England.
On the one side insistance on the duty
of the subject to give Internationally
upon the demand of a King ruling by
right divine; on the other stubborn
refusal to accept the royal word that
the money would be properly spent. No
body of men liked to be ordered, as
Wolsey ordered the Lord Mayor and
Corporation of London, TO contribute
toward an unvoted tax, lest refusal
''might fortune to cost some OF them
their heads" No King. though depend
ing for some two-thirds of his income
upon a representative assembly, liked
to be treated as if he had natural tenden-
cies toward larceny, or, from his point
of view, to be told that he should have
no subsidy unless he remedied some
grievance. "No song, no SUPPER" was
a maxim peculiarly distasteful to ''abso-
lutte Kings" whether of the Stuart or
the Tudor school; but the advent of a
constitutional King took away the per-
sOnal element in the dispute, and gave
practical meaning to the precept that
the King can do no wrong.-The Con-
temporary Rerie,o.

Nitro G iyceriae is formed by the ae-
tiOn of nitric acid upon glycerine at a
low temperature. The process consists
essentially in the slow mixture of glyc
crime with the acid; everything being
packed in ice throughout the opera
tion, and then in washing the nitro
glycerine from the excess of acid with
water. During the process, irritating
fumes are given off in large quantities.
(The workmen resemble skeletons,
they are so unhealthy When it is at
last washed and ready for use, nitro
glycerine is an oily liquid having
specific gravity of 1.6. Freshly made
it is creamy white and Opaque. After
prolonged contact with the atmosphere
it clears and becomes of a transparent
amber color. liz has sweet aromatic
taste, and produces a violent head
ache If placed upon the tongue or even
allowed to touch the skin. though
workmen and miners who are con-
stantly using it soon get rid of this.
At 30o Farenheit it freezes to a white
crystalline mass. When frozen it can
not be fired. and it is only safe during
transportation when frozen.

A century ago what man discovered
in the arts he concealed. Workmen
were put upon oath never to reveal the
process used by their employers. Doors
were kept closed, visitors were rigO-
rously excluded from admission, and
false operations blinded workmen
themselves. The mysteries of every
craft were hedged In by thick set
fences of empirical pretenslOns and ju-
dicial affirmation. The royal manufac-
tories of porcelain, for example, were
carried on in Europe with spirit of
Jealous exclusiveness. His Majesty of
Saxony was especially circumspect.
Not content with the oath of secrecy
imposed upon his people, he would not
abate his kingly suspicion in favor of
a brother monarch. Neither king nor
kings delegate mightenter the tabOOed
walls of Merssen. What is erroneOusly
called the Dresden porcelain-that ex-
quisite pottery of which the world has
never seen the like-was manufac-
tured for two hundred years by a pro-
cess so secret that neither the bribery
of princes nor the garrulity of the oper-
atives ever revealed it. Other discOv-
cries have been less successfully guard
ed fortunately for the world. The man

ted in a stolen secret. Few readers
need to be informed that tinware is
simply thin iron plated with tin by be-
ing dipped into the molten metal. In
theory, it is an easy matter to clean
the surface of iron dip it into a bath
of the boiling tin and remove it en-
veloped with the silvery metal to a
place for cooling. In practice. how
ever, the process is one of the most diff
ficult in the arts. 1t was discovered
in Holland, and guarded from publicity
with the utmost vigilance for nearly
half a century. England tried in vain
to discover the secret, until James
Sherman, a Cornish miner, insinuated
himself master of the secret and
brought it home. The secret of manu-
featuring cast steel was also stealthily
obtained, and is now within the reach
of all artisans.

The Aethrioscope is another meteOro-
logical instrument, and is designed for
measuring the degrees of cold arising
from exposure under different eOndi

ter is arranged within it, so that one of
the bulbs of the thermometer shall be

other bulb. being not in either focus,
is not affected by the pulsations, the

ARRANGING FURNrTURE.-In arrang-
ing furniture about a room, bear in
mind that it is not necessary 10 push
every article primly out TO the sides, 50
that sofas and chairs look rs if they were
glued To the wall. Pull them out; put
a sofa across one corner: stand the big
easy chair in the light, with a little
table close by, handy for sewing or
books; leave chair or two in front of
the sofa; and in general so dispose of
the articles that the room shall not ap-
pear as if its owners never entered il
save on ceremonial occasions. Whether
a room is pleasing and cosy or not does
not depend upon the elegance or cost
illness of its fittings. The simplest furni-
trre, if tastefully arranged as regards
color and position, often looks better
than the handsomest products of the
cabinet makers skill.

OvERwoRK. is worth more
than crops. more than farms, more than
any other earthly blessing. And once
lost, il is very difiicnlt to regain. Often,
there is no cure. for disease and suffer-
ing becomes a lifelong condition. One
of the chief causes of the ill-health, with
which 80 many farmers and their families
are afflicted, is their habit of oyerwOrk.
They sleep too little. make too long days,
hurry too much, and work too hard.
Work in proper degree, is a benefit,
but carried too far, il is destructive in
the extreme. As people, we are living
too fast, and working too hard. We
break down too early in life. When
we ought to be in the prime of life, We
begin very perceptibly to fail. We
drive too fast, and worry too much.
Thus, we miss great deal of the joy
which this life ought to bring, and make
but a poor preparation for the life to
come. Still, we should not wish to live
in idleness. Our Maker ordained that
we should toll for our daily bread, and
we ought willingly to obey this decree.
But we are not called upon to make
labor our curse and ruin, and, in max
ing it so no man can be justified.
