with waltz by Chopin. This composer seems to
attract her with species OF Irresistible magnetism
The reason is easily understood. Chopin music, to

Lapland Infants.

4 correspondent tells strange story
about the Lapland infants, and how they
are kept still at meeting. The Lapp
mammas don't stay at home with their
babies on Sunday. The Lapps are very
religious people. They 90 immense dis
tances to hear their pastors Every
missionary is sure of large Audience, and
an attentive one. He can hear a pin drop,
that is, should he choose to drop one him
self. His congregation wouldn't make so
much nulsc as that upon any considerations
All the babies are outside, buried in the
snow. As soon as the family arrives at
the little wooden church, and the reindeer
is secured, the papa Lapp shovels snug
little bed in the snow, mamma Lapp wraps
baby snugly in skins, and deposits it there
in. Then papa piles the snow around it,
and the dog is left to guard it, while the
parent go deeoTously into church. Often
twenty or thirty babies lie out there in the
snow around the church, and I never have
heard of one that sufiocated or froze. Smoke
dried little creatures, | suppose they are
tough

The Common Hammer.

The hammer seems simple instrument
enough, but Mr.. j. Richards, in a look on
mechanical topics, lately published in Eng
land, finds in it much that is curious and
interesting, as the following extract will
show:
"Few people in witnessing the use of a
hammer, or in using one themselves, ever
think of it as an Engine giving out tone of
force, concentrating and applying power by
functions which, if performed by other
mechanism, would involve trains of gear
ing, levers or screws; and that such me-
chanisrn, if employed instead of hammers,
must lack that important function Of apply
ing force in any direction that the will may
direct.
GA simple hand hammer is, in the alb
stract, one of the most intricate of mechani-
cal agents /; that is, its action is more diff
cult to analyze than that of many complex
machines involving trains of mechanism !;
but our familiarity with hammers makes
us overlook this fact and the hammer has
even been denied a place among those
mechanical contriyanccs to which has been
applied the mistaken name of mechanical
powers.
''Let the reader compare a hammer with
wheel and axle, inclined plane, screw or
lever, as an agent for concentrating and APP
plying power, noting the principles Of It's
action first, and then considering it's univer-
sal use, and he will conclude that if there is
a mechanical device that comprehends dis
tlnct principles, that device is the commen
hammer 1t seems, indeed, to be one Of
those things provided to meet humane
necessity, and without which mechanical
industry could not be carried on In the
manipulation of nearly every kind Of ma
terial, the hammer is continually necessary
in order to exert force beyond what the
hands command, unaidcd by mechanism to
multiply their force. A carpenter in driv-
ing a spike requires a force of from one to
two tons blacksmith requires force Of
from five pounds to five tons to meet the
requirements of his work stone-mason
applies force Of from one hundred to one
thousand pounds in driving the edge of his
tools chipping, calking, in fact nearly all
mechanical operations, consist more or less
in blows, and blows are but the application
Of an accumulated force, expended through
out Il limited distance.
Considered as mechanical agent, the
hammer concentrates the power of the
arms, and applies it in a manner that meets
the requirements of the work. IT great
force is needed, long swing and slow
blows accomplished tons if but little force
is required, short swing and rapid blows
will serve the degree of force being not
only continually at control, but the direc-
ton at which it is applied also. Other
mechanism, if used instead Of hammers to
perform the same duty, would from its ma
ture require to be complicated machine,
and act but in one direction or in one
place"

Gods First Temples.

Bayard Taylor, in his interesting work
entitled ''Home and Abroad" in graphic
account of the mammoth trees of California,
thus describes the telling of one the largest
specimens Of the Sierra Nevada ':After
a steady labor Of six weeks the thing was
done, but the tree stood unmoyed so
straight and symmetrical was its growth,
SO immense was its weight, and so broad
its base, that it seemed unconscious of its
own annihiation, tossing Its outer branches
derisively against the mountain winds that
strove to overthrow it. A neighboring
pine Of giant size was then selected, and
felled in such way as to fall with full
force against it. The top shook little,
but the shaft stood as before finally the
spoilers succeeded in driving their wedge
into the cut. Gradually, and with great
labor, one side Of the tree was lifted the
line of equilibrium was driven nearer and
nearer to the edge Of the base the mighty
mass poised for u moment, and then, with
a great rushing sigh in all its boughs,
thundred down. The forest was ground
to dust beneath it, and for mile around
the earth shook with the conclusion The
work was performed by two sets of hands
with the aid of long pump augers. The
tree was mass of solid wood ninety feet
in circumference, containing some two
hundred and fifty thousand feet of timber
and according to the annual rings, It's age
was three thousand one hundred years
The stump is now used for ballroom and
the trunk for Il bowling alley. DR.. Bigelow
said Of this specimen at required thirty
one of my PAGES, Of three feet each, to
measure its Circumference at the stump i and
the mere telling oft cost, at California prices
for wages, the sum of fve-hundred and
fifty dollars. An idea Of the sublime pro-
portions Of these wonderful fathers Of the
forest can be formed after seeing man
on horseback riding a distance of seventy
five feet through hollow trunk, and
emerging from a knot hole in the side"
