Tunneling the Straits of Gibraltar.

The union of Europe and Africa, by
means of a tunnel under the Straits of
Gibraltar, is one of the great engineering
schemes at present contemplated. This
tunnel, as projected, is to be right line,
extending between Tarifa and Algesiras,
on the Spanish coast, to Ceuta and Tan
gier on the Morocco shore, the sub
marine portion to be Al, 100 feet in
length, or nearly nine miles. This vast
enterprise offers, it is said, more diff
culties than the similar work under the
the English Channel, although the latter
will have more than twice the length.
The maximum depth Of the channel at
the point to be traversed is stated to be
only about 1913 feet, while that of the
Straits is 1921 feet. Surprising that
the tunnel under Gibraltar be bored at a
distance of 1000 feet under the bed, it's
total depth under the sea level would be
over $500 feet, while the entry and
exit galleries would be each three miles
In length.

Something. for Everybody.

To CLEAN GLASS. Water lime ap-
piled with dry, soft cloth, will give
glass nice clear cast.
WHITE spots or other marks on furnl-
ture may be removed with sponge satu-
rated with alcohol In which little cam
phor has been dissolved.
THE ivory keys of a piano may be
whitened by washing them with sponge
dipped in sulphurous acid !; afterWard
expose, if possible. to the sun.
A RAW egg will clear the throat OF fish
bones. Put one in little hot wine, add
some sugar, and the fish-bones Will SIP
down all the easier.
SAwDUsC, mixed with any resinous sub
stance, cut in small cakes and dried,
makes good fire lighters, and saves kind
ling wood.
A vARNIsH that will adhere firmly to
polished metal may be made by adding
to a good alcohol varnish pure crys-
talized boracic acid, in the proportion
of one part of the acid to two hundred
of the varnish.
To CLEAR room of mosquitoes, take
of gum camphor piece about one
third the size of an egg, and evaporate
it by placing it in tin vessel and hold
ing it over a lamp or candle-taklng
care that it does not ignite. The
smoke will soon fill the room and ex-
pei the mosquitoes. One night, not
long since I was terribly annoyed by
them, when I thought of and tried the
above, after which I neither saw nor
heard them that night, and next morn
ing there was not one to be found IN
the room.
A PRETTY sitting-room ornament is
made by taking spruce cone and bak-
ing it in an oven till the scales open
out equally. It is then carefully filed
with equal parts of sand and grass seed,
a string tied to the top, and the whole
suspended in the dark, in jar, with
water enough to come half way over the
cone. In week it is placed in the sun
light, when the seed sprouts rapidly, and
in month fills gallon jar completely.
It is then taken out and hung in the win
dow. Every morning it should be thor
oughly soaked in milk-warm water.

The Lockout i'm England.

There prevails in Great Britain the
most extensive lockout among the cot
ton mills that has ever occurred. A re-
cent statement shows that out of 1852
mills belonging to the Employers Asso-
citation, only six were running. A few
days ago the cable brought intelligence
of the closing of the Dundee mills, which
threw $4,000 persons more out OF en-
ployment, and it was thought this num-
Der would soon be increased to 80, 900 IN
that vicinity by the closing OF other
mills. The cause of this is that the cot
ton manufacturers have been running
full on falling market. During the
American rebellion, when cotton was
scarce and high, British capital was IN
vested in India to experiment III cotton
raising. Some success has been achieved,
and now there is considerable cotton OF
a second grade raised In British India;
there is also good deal of the same kind
raised in Egypt, Africa, and parts OF
Australia. This cotton is used to mix
with American cotton. Our own crop
has been steadily increasing, and the re-
suit is that there is larger supply IN
proportion to the demand than ever be-
fore. Cotton has declined several cents
within few months, and cotton goods
have declined at still greater ratio.
The cotton manufacturers found it neces-
sary either to stop their mills or put
down the wages of their operatives, and
concluded to do the latter. When this
was begun the operatives resisted, de-
pending upon their fellows in other
manufacturing towns to carry them
through the strike. But the employers
formed a union similar to that existing
among the employees, and the result has
been lockout in hundreds of mills.
The condition of things is growing worse
and worse every day. If it continues,
the cotton operatives of Great Britain
have nothing but starvation staring them
in the face, for the lockout is extending
all over the kingdom.

A Woman Free Mason.

Harper's Bazaar says that it is mis-
take to suppose that the lady who con-
cealed herself in a room where a
'lodge" was about to be held, and who
when discovered was compelled or al
lowed to be Initiated, is myth. The
o'clock case" may be a myth, but the
lady is not. She was the Hon. Mrs.
Aldworth, and continued through life to
take an active interest in the Order into
which in her youth she had so strangely
gained admission. She founded the
Dublin Benevolent Institution for Or
phan Daughters of Masons. Her por-
trait still hangs in the principal lodge
room in Cork, and under it in glass
case, the apron and jewel she used to
wear when she attended lodge meetings.

Attacked by a Monster Black Snake.

[Silver Lake Pa.) Cor. New York SUM-
A fourteen-year- servant girl in the
employ of Jerome Brockway, who has
been spending few days in the wilds OF
Pike county, had narrow escape on
Saturday last from being strangled to
death by black snake. She was sent
by her mistress out into the woods to
pick whortleberries. She crossed the
lake in small row boat, and, accom-
panied by a small Newfoundland dog,
was about three-fourths of a mile into
the woods, where the berries were plenty.
After filing her basket she sat down on
a log and ate her lunch. AS she was
about to start for home, large black
snake sprang about her neck and began
choking her. The affrighted girl
screamed at the top of her voice for
assistance, but there was no one near
enough to hear her cries. When she was
so exhausted that she was unable to cry
out, the snake twisted it's head around so
that the girl could reach 1t. At first she
was afraid to touch the monster. Then
realizing that she must do something or
perish, she caught the snake about the
neck, and choked it until it relaxed its
hold and fell to the ground. The girl
then threw it againsta rock and succeeded
in killing it. She tied small hickory
withe around the snakes neck, and
dragged it home. It measured six feet
eleven inches
