QuarreIing.

If anything in the world will make
any man feel badly, it is unquestion-
ably a quarrel. No man ever fails to
think less of himself after than before.
1t degrades him in his own eyes, and
disgraces him in the eyes of others.
and, what is worse, blunts the sensibil-
ities on the one hand, and increases the
power of passionate lrritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peacefully
and quietly we get on, the better for
our neighbOrs and for ourselves. In
nine cases out of ten, the better course
Is, II a man cheats you. cease to deal
with him ; if he is abusive, quit his
company and if he ISLANDERS you, take
care to live SO that nobody will believe
him. Lies unchased will die; fires un-
famed will burn out, and quarrels ne
elected become as dull as the crater of
an extinct volcano.

4 Nelr Propeller ScrcU.-Dr. Collins
Browne, well known in England as the
originator of the beak-prOwed ship,
which presents some great advantages.
has recently introduced a four-bladed
screw propeller, which is essentially
peculiar. In appearance the propeller
Is rather paradoxical, for 1t resembles
two double Dladed screws on one shaft,
one screw being the exact reverse of
the other. Hence it might be argued
that one screw would neutralize the
other, and all the power applied to eff
feet the rotation or the propeller would
be thrown away. But closer attention
shows that the effect must needs be
otherwise. When the propeller vi
brates each of the four blades is dri-
wing, two with their faces, two with
their backs, these latter receiving the
water thrown from the foremost pair.
There is a powerful grip in the water.
and at the same time the action Is
smooth, steady, silent, never thrashing
or producing vibration. The water Is
as if it We're wormed through the screw
in a uniform thread, one continuous
stream being thrown aside from the
center of the propeller in direct axial
line. The power of the propeller is In
dicated by the quickness with which il
stops IA vessel when the motion OF the
screw is reversed. A steamship of 104a
tons. fitted with one of these screws.
twelve feet in diameter, when steaming
at about ten knots an hour, was stopped
In her own length on the motion of the
screw being reversed.

Useful Proverbs

Always tell the truth; you will find
It easier than lying. He who gives a
trifie meanly, is far meaner than the
trifle. Men looking at each others
faults should be mcreiful. If we seize
too hastily We may have to drop as las
tily. Experience is a torch lighted in
the ashes of our delusions. Better be
upright with poverty than wicked with
plenty. He who laughs at cruelty sets
his heel on the neck of religion. Time
never sits heavily upon US but when ii
is badly employed. Whatever you dis
like In another, take care to correct In
yourself.

One of the most expensive ar
ticles used by carriage manufactu-
rers is patent leather, yet it is often
allowed to lay around in the trimming z
shop in the most careless manner aud
become damaged in various ways. The
enameled or glazed surface being COM
posed of materials that crack easily if
subjected to cold, and stick if kept long
in a warm place. it Is important that 1t
should be carefully cared for while In
stock. All thin, soft stock, such as
dash, railing gand enamel leather, should
be rolled. Most manufacturers observe
this rule with their glazed stock, but
they almost invariably fold their top
leather. The repeated folding of large
hides, in order t., reduce the bundle to
a convenient size for handling, causes
the formation of creases, and at every
cross fold the enamel is injured to such
an extent as to produce blemishes and
seriously interfere with cutting large
pieces. Another great objection is that
the enamel, being cramped by the fold,
cracks upon being Strengthened out,
particularly in cold weather. The pro-
per manner of caring for enamel lea
tner Is to lay the enamel sides together,
with a sheet of thin paper beteen them
VI piCrCut thC SAhLCo AasSo AAOh
coming in contact with each other, and
roll instead OF folding them. In this
way no creases are formed, and the en-
tire surface is kept As perfect as when
first made. If but single hide Is put
away, cover the surface of the enamel
with thin paper, and roll up in like man
ner. Heavy leather should be hung up
in closets secure from dust. Leather
made in cool weather is better than
that made in the hot summer months;
il Is little more liable TO be affected
by heat aud to become sticky but Is less
likely to crack and shrink.
Many buyers refuse To paw for boxes,
and have their leather shipped in
large rolls or bundles the result is
that the ends become more or less in-
jured by being bent, particularly in
cold weather, when the eDamel Is easily
cracked. There is scarcely a carriage
shop in the country in which more OF
less waste does not occur from care
lessness in handling or storing, for
which there can be no excuse No man
would allow dollar bill To be kicked
around the workshop floor. but the de-
structiOn of four or five square feet of
leather seems tn be considered a mat
ter of comparatively little importance.
Few carriage makers fail in business
who buy carefully and take good care
of what they purchase.

A NeW Leather Tanning PrOcess.-A
new leather tanning process, which was
put into operation on an extensive
scale at Detroit, Mich, some two
months ago, promises to be prOduc-
tive of important results. The great
feature is the short time required to do
the work. By the new plan, work,
which under the old process required
one to two years time, can be accom-
plished in from three to six weeks.
Under the old process the hides lie in
the vat with the bark for many months,
the longer the better, gaining tirmDess
and strength with the lapse of time.
By the new process the tanning is done
in an hour, and all the time spent IS
that required for curryIng and dres-
sing. The process is chemical one,
performed by the action of certain in
expensive chemical materials, the com
pounding of which in the right proper
tiOns is a secret. Robes tanned with
the hair on are said to be as soft as the
finest wool: hides of the deer, horse,
dog. etc, are smooth and soft. while
calf and kid show most desirable tex
ture and grain. Another great advan
tage is the economy of the process, no
bark being required excerpt little 10

PRIMROSES.

Sweet Primroses hold you dear,
That needless are of me;
You have no ears my words to hear.
No eyes, my gaze to see.
You love the rain that swells each bud
The sun, that bids you blow;
The breeze that calms your gentle blood.
And swsys you to and fro.
But am least of all to you;
For what have to give?
What can add Of pleasure new
To your one ioy-to live?
And yet the sunshine finds no bliss,
To smile. and win sour smiles
The breeze Is careless of the kiss,
1t takes or gives by whiles.
While l. who love. must yearn in vain,
For all take of YOU.
To give to You such joy again.
AS gives one drop of dew.
And you. fair flowers Of joy and light,
Blessed above all remain,
To give such delicate delight
And take no gift again

DR.. Rufus Gilbert, the protector of
the Gilbert elevated railroad, has in
vented a locomotive, by means of
which it is intended to carry passen-
gers at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The weight of the new engine is under
the boiler, close to the track, so as TO
prevent the locomotive from being
top heavy. As it is desirable to in
crease or diminish the driving power
of the engine at pleasure, the weight is
introduced by the suspension of iron
ar by means of tanks filled with water.
During the hours of the day, when ira
vel is light, the iron weight can be re-
duced or the water can be emptied at
any station. By this arrangement of
the center of gravity and from the no.
vel manner in which the driving wheels
work. as well as Uy the peculiar swing
ing axles of the tender, the Gilbert en-
gine can turn the most abrupt curves
with the greatest possible ease. with
out injury to the condition of the track
or endangering the lives of the passen-
gers.

A Ne,C Safety Ldmp.-An alleged i'm
prOvement IN safrty-lamps has been
devised by NJ. Boullenot of Paris. IL
consists IN replacing the lamps usually
employed in mines containing ire
damp. 10y Others supplied with air from
outside the mine. Fixed pipes are
carried down the mine, and branches
are led into all the workings. Through
these compressed air is forced from the
surface by air-pumps, and the i'm
proved lamps are screwed to the air
pipes by couplings with stop-cOcks.
The cylinder inciosing the flame is
protected bv cage, apl The products
of combustion pass off through two
pieces of wire ganIr. The match for
lighting the lamp : inherited through
a spring clip, i..nt'-i within the lamp.
and cannot be VI u. ,r..wn until it is ex-
tinguished. Ii viii he seen that the
main idea of he inventor is to feed the
lamp, not with aii from the mine, so as
not To draw in any possible explosive
mixtures, but to feed the fame with
fresh air from the outside, letting how
ever the air with the products of com
bustion escape from the lamp through
wire gauZe.

SCIENTIFIC.

Formation of fGrdnite.-We know that
quartz requires q higher temperature
to melt it than does either the field
spar or the mica. aud SO, had the gra-
mite been formed as are regular vOlca-
mic rocks in the ordinary way of igne-
Gus fusion, we shonld certainly have
found that the quartz would have crys-
tallized before either the feldspar or
the mica, and it would have been seen
in definite crystalline form, and its
CRYSTALS would have interfeIed with
and penetrated those of the other min
eral constituents of the rock. Again,
if We look carefully at the quartz with
a moderately high power, we shall see
in it certain small cavities and some of
these will BE- seen to contain a certain
amount of liquid, and also an air-bub-
Bile, which will move as the specimen
is moved. This liquid has been proved
to be water, and from the fact of its
not entirely filling the cavity we learn
that reduction of temperature has Ia
ken place since the water was first
caught up 10y the quartz, causing the
contents of the cavity to contract.
Sometimes WE shall find other cavities,
which, instead of containing water,
contain small crystals, or even air only.
Now from all these facts 1t appears
tolerably certain that the granite was
formed under peculiar circumstances (;
it has never been such a purely molten
rock as is the lava of q volcano, which
Is poured out from its crater to the
light of day. We gather that It was
rather formed at great depths in the
earth, where it may have been par
TALLY melted, partially subjected to the
action both of water aud of steam,
charged with various mineral substan-
ces, aud subjected to enormous pres
sure. What the original condition OF
granite was We cannot tell some have
gone SO far as to think that ii may have
been that of sedilnentary rock, which
has been metamorphOsed by the forces
Just alluded to. But. whatever the pri-
mary state of granite may have been,
its present condition shows 1t to belong
undoubtedly to the igneous class of
rocks, but to have been formed under
conditions differing from those which
have given rise TO i,vas reaching the
surface. As far a can he "a ,hered,
the granite rocks. - such, have never
seen the light ~ ,iIy aIlIl exposed by
denudatI5n, etc t,irIr origin was deep
in the centri., p..tIons of ancient vol
canoes, where. 10y partial melting and
slow cooling, under immense pressure,
and in the presence ot some water, the
various minerals came together and
crystallized into granlte.-P0Dutdr Sci
