Mending Tinware.

HAVING read a communication in the
R,raL upon this subject, and, having had
some experience in the art, l give your
readers the benefit thereof
One can very easily learn to mend their
own tin, and a soldering iron is much bet
ter than Il candle 30 do it with, as the
solder will adhere TO the timed face of the
iron, and may be drawn along a crack or
seam, and spread Or rubbed over hole.
II the solder is not inclined to stick, a lit.
tcrubbing the place with the hot iron will
assist it TO do so.
In order to brighten tin or soldering, it
should only be scraped very lightly, that
the iron plate beneath may be exposed as
little as possible; for the reason that solder
does not readily adhere to an iron or I'm.
timed surface, and if there are any spots
uncovered by the solder, the iron will soon
CorrOde and make new holc-and this is
the reason why have learned better than
TO use acids or soldering fluid They are
so powerfully corrosive, as your cor
respondent says-that they set up an act
ion on the tin, especially if the iron is OK
posed, and in Il little while the whole spot
will be rusted out. Acjds are rholiy un-
necessary IN soldering hnned suytaces
Timers do not use them in ordinary tin
work but they are useful for brass, cop
per, zinc, etc. A little rosin, put upon
the place with your solder, Is all that is
necessary, and is not corrosive. If the
iron is heated too hot, so that it is red, the
Timing upon it will be destroyed, and at
the same time will eat cavities in it,
making rough face, in which case it may
be hammered down some, then filed
bright, and timed again, by heating it so
that it will melt solder, and then rubbing
its bright face in the melted solder, with
rosin, on brick. The brick serves to
keep it bright until the solder adheres. -

A Singular Trade.

THERE is singular trade in Paris.
All boarding schools here are extremely
DESTROYS TO have among their pupils the
highest prize man. There is an annual
examination of all the school boys of a
given standing in Paris. One of them is
the highest prize man. To have trained
the highest prize man is the best possible
advertisement of school. Boarding
school masters are consequently always
on the lookout for boys who promise to
carry off this distinction Their parents
hold a sort of auction of the bright boy
and contide him to the boarding school
who bids highest for him. A
hopeful candidate for the Derby is not
more scdulously watched and trained
All the masters take the utmost pains
with him. He is drilled, and crammed,
and examined, in school hours and out of
school hours. He is made to feel, night
as well as day, that he was born, fed and
for no other purpose but to carry
off this great prize. He leads the life of
the Strasburg goose, whose liver is to
have the honor of entering pate de ,tote
1rdS.-Scrt6aer for april.

Another Wonderful Shower.

THE truthful genius who presides over
the local columns of the Burlington
Ha,ok-Eye, gives the following graphic
account of a recent strange event in that
locality:
Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock,
the residents of South Hill, in the vicini-
ty of Perkins meadow, were amazed al
most beyond expression at most Singh
lar and inexplicable event. At the time
the sky was comparatively clear, and but
few people were out of doors. Suddenly
little daughter of Rufus Rosenbaum,
who owns the South Hill butter factory,
came running into the house crying out
that it was raining bread. Her father
stcrnly reproved her for using such exag-
geratiOn, but she insisted that she told
only the truth, and he dropped his, ham
mer on the anvil, and ran out. Amaze
ment sealed his lips when he saw the
ground already thickly covered with bits
of white wheat bread about three inches
| long and tive wide, while it was still fall
ing quite rapidly, but almost as softly as
snow, while the people were out gather
ing it up and examining it. Nj Rosen-
baum found, to his still greater surprise,
that the bread was palatable, and actually
| Duttered with an excellent article of oleO
margarine The Perkins Meadow PEG
pie, overwhelmed with establishment, aft
/ cr gathering small sample lots of the
/ bread to show their neighbOrs, started of
| to drive their friends wild with envy.
But as they reached Webb street they
were surprised to find that the shower
extended even that far, and the
bread that fell there was buttcred on both
sides, and had the top crust cut off. AZ
they came on down Summer street they
passed through a severe shower of sugar
crackers and warm mullins. But when
they reached Barnes street the scene beg.
CARED description. For in that favored
locality the atmosphere was full of Boston
brown bread, and hot raised biscuit while
farther down, on Angular street, it was
raining corn bread and late buckwhea
cakes. 1t was unfortunate, however, tina
before the Barnes street people could ge
out To enjoy this shower Of modern man
ma, heavy storm of knives and forks
came rafting down, which drove the PEG
pie hastily into their homes. This storm
WAS of short duration, and within tifteer
minutes after it ceased, there was not !
crumO Of bread or knife or fork to bt
seen on the ground, the geese, which grow
in that ncighborhood at the rate Of IA
to the square foot, having dcyoured every
thing.
AS a postscript to the above we would
state that Mr. Rosenbaum has Just calleC

twelve feet in diameter, stretching out in
long colonades of the massive walls COW
cred with bas reliefs; and obelisks in SIN
gle shafts of granite of sach lofty height
and crushing weight that it is wonder OF
modern engineering how they could be cut
from the side of the hills, and be brought
over hundred miles, and erected on their
firm base.
But this temple-or rather clusters of
temples and palaces-was not, like the
temple of Solomon, finished in a single
reign. Karnac was not the work of one
man, or of one generation. 1t was twenty
five hundred years in building, successive
Kings and dynasties adding to the mighty
whole, which was to represent all the glo,-
ry of Egypt.
The general impression of all these
temples--and the same is true of the
Egyptian statues and sculptures-is one
of grandeur rather than beauty. They
seek to overpower the senses by mere size.
Sometimes they overdo the matter. Thus
in the temples of Karnac the columns seem
| to me too large and too much crowded for
the best effect. Small trees may be plant
ed in a dense grove, but great, broad
spreading oaks or ems require space
around them; and if these columns were
| a little more spaced-to use a printers
word-the architectural effect would be
still grander. So in the Egyptian sculp-
ture everything is colossal. In the granite
lions and sphinxes there is always an as
pect of power in repose which is very i'm
pressive, and strikes one with awe. But
in the lighter work, such US tresco and
has reliefs, there is total absence of del
icacy and grace. Nothing can be more
stiff. They sometimes have rude force
of drawing, but beauty they have none.
That was born in Greece All the sCulp-
lures on all the temples of Egypt are not
worth-except as historical monuments
the friezes of the Parthenon. -Dr. FIeLd,
| III EUuaqeIist.
