A Wonderful Retention of Heat In {
Mine.

The Virginia eity Enterprise says !:
On the Sd of October last, about two
O'Clock in the afternoon, the large new
air-shaft in the Belcher mine, then COM
pleted to the 1,000-foot level, took fire
and was destroyed. The timbers of the
shaft all burnt ont, and the rock fell to
and blocked It DIP. After mature deIib-
Grafton it Yves thought that it would be
better and cheaper to sink a new shaft
than to try to clear out the old one, so
badly were its sides caved and SO great
was the quantity of rock that had tum-
bled into it. The new ehaft was sunk
short distance to the west OF The old
one. 1t has now reached a point neat
the l, eOO-foot level where it will be con-
tinted down on an incline. The incline
was started at the / ,OOO-foot le1.I. and
carried up to meet the vertical norton
of the shaft, This Course of this incline
Carried it through the remains of the
old vertical shaft, but as soon as it WINS

burnt earth and rocks that poured down
into their incline. A tunnel was then
run until it had reached a point a short
distance west Of the old shafts when a
vertical upraise was made on the line OF
the incline, to be run up to meet the
new shaft. The men then began work.
ing dom on the incline in order to
reach the point from which they were
driven in trying to come up. They
have succeeded in getting into the bot
tom of the old shaft, where, much to
their surprise, they find the rock still
Ied hot. In trying to put in timbers
they were set on fire, and in order to
work at all it is found necessary to
bring line of hose into the place and
play a stream of water on the rocks
wedged in the bottom of the old shift
There is no timber on fire among the
rocks. They seem to have been heated
to degree 30 intense at the time of the
fire that they have remained red hot
ever since. When we find SO small a
mass of rocks as can be contained in
the bottom of shaft remaining red hot
for over five months after having been
heated to wilderness, should we be in
credulous on being assured by scientists
that the center of the earth, once a
molten mass of rocks, still remains in a
molten state after untold ages.

The Danger OF Idleness.

An exchange says The great scar
city of employment ct present existing,
while serious matter for consid Grafton
in its connection with political econo-
my, has also d moral espeot OF more in
terest. perhaps, than is generally re-
allied. The line in the Sunday-school
hymn to the effect that Sata,, ends mis-
chief for idls hands to do is not mere
nursery rhyme, but fact which, Just
now, is receiving its verifcation. 1t is
frequently remarked by people who
have knowledge of what they say, that
enforced idleness is leading r1aay young
men, lab-retc and mechanics, into
habits from which they were entirely
free when in work. Aimless, and in
many cases discouraged at the lack OF
employment, they loaf about in public
places, form undesirable acguhiutances,
drift into saloons, aud frequently, with
desperate hope that the wheel OF
chance may turn in their favor, enter
the lair of the gambler and stake the
little they may possess upon the turn
of card or the throw of the dice. To
be sure all this indicates a sad def
cheney in moral stamina, but the fact
remains that what in such cases has ex-
posed to attack the weak spots in the
character of some of our laboring men
is the need of healthful and remunera-
tive employment. how this need is to
be met and the social danger obviated
is question worthy of deep and ear
nest attention.
That the times are full of demoraliza-
ton must be evident to any observant
person. The question of how to supply
the safeguard which is lacking is most
difficult one, but one that can be met.
1t may be met partially by the deter
mined refusal to besto charity when
there is ability to work. The man or
woman who is able to perform labor
should be made to do it before receiy-
ing help, aims being steadily withheld
from such. Perhaps it is true that
there is too much giving in one way and
too little in another. A perfect system
of charity would embrace the idea of
making those able to labor work for the
benefit of those who are unable. Thus
q dollar might be made 80 do double
duty. This, however, is but one phase
of the question. How to employ the
is a broader phase, with which
it might be well for the authorities, for
and especially for political
to busy themselves. AS an

The Trade i'm Hair.

A writer says The immense expan-
sion for the trade in hair during recent
years is scarcely conceivable. At the
beginning of the present century it was
considered disgrace to wear false hair.
To-day the detestable fashion has ex-
tended even to the most paltry village.
As late MS the year 1850 one pound of
hair est francs. Scarcely had the
empress Eugene attained the imperial
dignity than the price rose to 8 francs
and 10 francs per pound. In the year
1868 the fashion grew into an epidemic,
aud spread beyond the boundaries of
France. The German young ladies for
sook the national custom of long and
beautiful plaits in order, like their
French sisters, to burden their heads
with steeples of hair. In 1866 the
price rose to 20 francs, and in 1867 to
% francs. in 1868 to As francs, and in
1870 TO SIS francs per pound. This last
is the price of "unprepaIed hair
" prepared costs double and treble as
much. The finest hair comes from the
heads OF the dead women of Brittany
and Auvergne. When, in either of
these places, a girl or woman of middle
age dies, the hair is cut off and turned
into money. The hair of the living,
however, fetchesa better price, and some
times blonde maidens receive rs mnch
as ], 800 or 1000 francs for their tresses.
Since the war the ladies have moder-
ated their demands and regarded with
less favor this hateful fashion, to which
the ply icians, attribute so many ner-
vous disorders and brain fevers.

Tho waves oils out and the waves rolls in

As it ever has been

When the morning beckosed the night away
Lies deep in the loch.
The tide sweeps close to the guide wife's feet

But the waters Will never wash back again
The smile and the kiss and the love they have siam
Though forever they beat.
The whitecaps sparkled blithrsome and gay,

The chairs were instapter mounted by
the laity.
AN IMPOSING STIFFNESS
prevailed while the various addresses
from the pope to the cardinal and the
archbishop of Baltimore, and replies
of those prelates in latin, were read,
the vast congregation listening as IN
tently as if they could understand every
word of it. There we're a number,
however, in the front seats-judges and
other state civic officials-who wnaer-
stood these documents perfectly, and
gratifed their ladior BY giving the sub
starce of them. When the cardinal
concluded his address and knelt in his
scarlet garments before tho altar, and
all the differently robed ecclesiastics
bowed their heads, aud the organ pealed
forth preparatory to the "Te Deum, u
ard all the assistant officiating clergy
knelt on the altar steps, the scene was
one magnificent beyond description.

THE TWO CITIES.

Tonight, as I sat in the sunset.
l read. with solemn awe,
VI the Revelator's vision
And the city that he saw:
The city whose gates are i,sper.
And streets are paved with gold,
Ana OF whose wonderful beauty
The half was never told.
And thought OF another city
That is not far away,
The moonlight and the sunshine
across its marbles play.
Its houses are long ard narrow.
And their roofs are green and low;
And never . care or sorrow
Its silent dwellers know.
Ihere is never 8 sound of weeping
In this city on q hill;
Inere Is never the sound of tumut
In the streets so green and still.
The dvellers have done forever
With the Oddities strife and din,
For whom the gates of that city
Have opened TO let them in.
have known some who grew weary
or LIES so full of loss
And the bitter, bitter burden,
OF q never lifted cross:
And they turned to the silent CIV
with ITS peace so deep am. sweet.
And found in its cool, 1-.een by-ways
some rest for the..f weary feet.
Gay, Wen my work is over,
lessons learned and said,
VIII bear me out TO a dwelling
an the city of the dead.
When the low, green roof il DER me
OF my dwelling on the hill,
shall be done forever
With earthly woes and I'll.
shall miss the tramp aud the hustle
of the hurryine march of life,
Aud and in the strange, still CITY.
Tho rest that comes alter strife.

PRUNING, NIPPING AND TOP DRESSING.
The orchard and fruit garden require
watchful attention during the present
month. Suckers, which will appear
near che collar or crown of the roots,
must be pulled of, and all too luxurient
shoots nipped back, to make the growth
Uniform and keep the head in good
shape. A little attention to this will
save the trouble of severe cutting back
next winter. If the trees have set too
much fruit. it will; pay we'll to thin, it
it out. Crane vines require similar
attentions. Keep the strawberry run
ners cut off, and if it be desired to
lengthen the fruiting season, mulch and
bearing long time by these means.
Young orange trees and banana plants
should have top.dfessihg of manure
and be well mu1ched, applying both
Just after heavy rain.
A GOOD COMPOST FOR PorTEt' PLANTS.
A good compost for geraniums, ca
mellias, roses, and most of the more
common house plants may be made of
the following ingredients, in the pro-
portion here given
One part clean sharp sand, free from
salt.
One part mold from perfectly decayed
leaves.
One part COW manure, well rotted and
pulverized.
Two part rich garden soil, or, better,
well decayed ttirf mold.
About one fifth of the pot may be
filled with the drainage materials, viz
broken bits of pots, charcoal or oyster
shells. If little moss is placed over
these, it will prevent the earth washing
through.
THE NuRTHwARD FRedREss OF SUMMER.
Some interesting contributions to
climatology, the Canada Farmer says,
have been made by NJ. Hoffman,, dur
ing journey through Italy. BE found
from numerous data, that difference
of latitude of one degree corresponds,
in general, to an acceleratlon or retarda-
ton of the development of vegetation
about three days and three-quarters.
M. Hoffman considered twelve different
plants, which, growing at railway sta
tions, were specially suitable for the
Investigation. Tho GENERALLY received
notion on the American continent is that
summer advances northward in steps of
about twelve miles day and we have
seen numerous and fowery editorial
statements of the fact. nj. Hoffmann's
observations tend to show that, in in
Europe, summer gets northward more
quickly than it does here by four miles
day.-R.sral Carocinits,a.
