A New Kind of Ceiling.

Scribner's Monthly describes enamel
ed ceilings which would be desirable for
kitchens, diaries, refreshment rooms, or
other rooms, where washable ceilings
are needed: GA refreshment saloon
in London has been finished inside in
such manner as to be readily washed
out with hose. The floor is paved, the
walls are of majolica, and the ceiling is
covered with enameled sheet iron.
When it is desired to cleah the room,
the furniture is removed, the hose is
laid on, and the place is simply drench-
ed and flooded till clean. The ceiling
is the novel feature of the room. To
prepare it, large pieces of sheet iron
were coated with white enamel in the
usual manner, and were then handsome
ly painted in colors. After baking to
secure the colors, the sheets were affixed
to the beams of the floor overhead. The
joints are made to fit tight, and once in
place, the enameled plates will last as
long as the building stands. This style
of ceiling is partially fre-proof, and
saves all the expense, repairs, and dan
gers of laths and plaster"

Old Virginia HOSnitalitY.

l remember case in which a neighbor
of my own, very wealthy gentleman,
whose house was always open and always
full of guests, dying, left each of his
children a plantation. To the Oldest
son, however, he gave the home estate,
worth three or four times as much as
any of the other plantations, and with
it he gave the young man also large
sum of money. But he charged him
with the duty of keeping open house
there at all times, and directed that the
household affairs should be conducted
always precisely as they had been during
his own lifetime; and the charge well
nigh outweighed the inheritance. The
new master of the place lived in Rich
mond, where he was engaged in manu-
featuring, and the death of the father
the old house stood tenantless, but open
as before. Its troop of softly shod SER
wants swept and busted and polished as
of old. Breakfast, dinner and supper
were laid out every day at the accustom-
ed hours, under the old buffers super
vision, and as the viands grew cold his
silent subordinates waited, trays in hand,
at the back of the empty chairs during
the full time appointed for each meal.
I have stopped there for dinner, tea OF
to spend the night many time in COM
pany with one of the younger sons, who
lived elsewhere, or with some relation
of the family, or alone, as the case may
be, and 1 have sometimes met others
there. But our coming or not was q
matter of indifference. Guests knew
themselves always welcome; but whether
guests came or not the household affairs
suffered no change. The destruction Of
the house by fire finally lifted this bur
den from its owners shoulders, as the
will did not require him to rebuild. But
while it stood its masters large inheri
lance was of very small worth to him. =

Food and Work.

1t appears, from a scientific authority,
that the work done in walking three
miles an hour is equal to about one
tenth the work done by direct ascent.
Three foot tons is fair days work for a
man of average height. This would be
equivalent to walking fifteen miles in a
little over five hours. A hard days
work would be equivalent to walking
twenty-four miles in eight hours. DIR.
Parkes mentions an extreme case, in
which a man in copper mill did as
much as 723 foot tons in day, his
average work being 443 foot tons. The
ordinary work of military prisoner is
80 foot tons. The velocity at which
work was done, and the consequent re-
sistance, greatly affect the quantity of
potential energy required for its accom-
plishment. For the production of any
amount of what may be termed produc-
tive work, much larger amount of
potential energy has tc be expended.
Professor Haughton, of Dublin, has
calculated that, of the total potential
energy produced in the body, 260 foot
tons are required for the action of the
heart. Then the animal heat absorbs
from 1000 to $500 foot tons, Or more.
According to Helmholtz, about five
times as much energy is used in the in
ternal work of the body as is expended
in ordinary productive work. In the
case of severe work, the proportion of
internal work to productive work is still
greater. Surprising the work perform
ed by man to consist of walking, the
most economical rate, both as regards
the amount of food required to sustain
it, and the amount of potential energy
expended on the body itself, is about
three miles an hour. Both above and
below that speed there is decrease in
the amount of active work as compared
with the productive energy. A man
walking fifteen or sixteen miles day,
or doing an equivalent amount of work
in another form, would require twenty
three ounces of food, composed of albu
inmates 46 ounces, fat three ounces,
starch 14,3 ounces, and salts L. ounces.
This would yield a potential energy Of
4, 430 foot tons, and 300 foot tons for pro
ductive work. Amere subsistence dietfo
q man at rest would be fifteen ounces
but with this amount man would lose
weight. About 1000 foot tons day Of
potential energy is about the Creates
amount which is possible as perma,
nency. This would yield 600 foot tom
of productive work. Thsse calculations
apply only to men in health.

Trying the Experiu emit.

A Detroiter had his hair cut the other
day, and after the barber had finished
the head was the worst looking job ever
turned out in Detroit. The man was
hopping mad as helooked into the glass,
and he roared out:
" why, you blamed fool, you don't
know anything about hair cutting"
"Dat's so, boss" said the owner of
the shop, coming forward. 81 told him
to take your head to learn on, but it
don't pear to me dat he'll ever make
much of barber |"
