NICE MEASUREMENTS.

At late conference held at the Kensing-
ton Museum Sir j. Whltworth, in treat
ing OF linear messurements-s subject be
has so thoroughly illustrated, stated that
fifty years ago the thousands of spindles
used in a cotton factory had each to be
separately fitted into the bolster 10 which
It worked, but that at present all these
spiDdles were made to gauge and were in
t. rc0angesble. Sir j. Whitworth said that
the foundation of all accuracy in msrsure-
ment was the production of atrue plane.
To show the extreme accuracy in the pro-
cess OF measurement, an instrument was
exhibited which gave the differences Of
one twenty -thousandths of an inch. In 9
discussion which followed on measure
ments, NJ. Tresca said that 1t was desirous
hat instruments should be available
which would determine thick uesses equal
to one-thiItieth of the thread of cobweb.
Sir j. Whitworth has constructed a ma
chine capable of giving measurements OF
the one e-millionth of an inch.

HOW TO GET ALONG.

Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
II you have place OF business be found
there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
Never "fooP' in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, and also
promptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of.
Do not kick every one In your path.
More miles can be made in q day by 60
Ing steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you can not afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.
Learn to say No. No necessity OF
swapping it out d g fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather than those
of Others.
Learn TO think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
Young man, cut this out, and ii there be
any fsllscy in the argument let us know.

A HOLIDAY.
From Fraser's Magazine.l

From Fraser's Magazine.l
Out of the city, far away
With Spring to-day
Where copses tOfted with primrose
Give me repose
Wood sorrel and wild violet
soothe my SOULS fret;
The pure, delicious, verDHl air
Blows away care;
The birds reiterated songs
Heal fancied wrongs.
Down the rejoicing brook my grief
Drifts like a leaf,
And on its gentle murmuring doW
Cares glide and go;
The bud-besprinkled ooughs and hedges,
The sprout ng sedges,
Waving beside the waters brink,
Come Iik- cool drink
: To fever d lips, like fresh soft mead
To kline that feed.
Much happier than the kline, bed
My dreaming head
In grass see Tar mountains blue,
Like heaven In view.
Green world and sunny sky above,
Alive with love;
All, all, however, c. me they there,
Divinely fair.
Is this the bstter oracle,
Or what stree's tell?
o. base confusion, fslsehOod, strife,
Man puts In lif
Sink, thou life y easurer!-I can say
"I've lived day."
And memory holds il now in keeping,
Awake or sleeping.
