Once, looking through little shesf
OF papers stored from glrlhood's years,
1 CHANGED upon faded leaf.
And read, half smiling, half in tears,
This legend on the wrapping set
In delicate girl-writing small:
'Never this day. this leaf, forget -
And, To- had forgot it all.
Nor could l think with all my care
What it did ever mean, and so
l slowly let the summer air
Watt it away, and watched it so
With dreaming gaze. And is il thus,
unused, with this worlds joy and grief
'Never forget" it seems to us,
As wrote on my little sheaf.
When. To- without our knowledge, curled
Our scroll Of earth its story small
Comes not into that higher world :;
Besides-we have forgot it all

no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears:
They swaller their vittles whole and
chew it up in their crops inside of EN-.
The outside of hens is generally put
into pliers. and made inter. feather
busters. The inside of a hen is some
times filled up with marbles and shirt
buttons and sich. \ hen is very much
smaller than a good many other ami
mails, but they'll dig up more tomato
plants than anything that amt a hen.
Hens is very useful to lay eggs for
plum pudding. Bet yer life | like
plum pudding. Skinny Bates eat so
much plum pudding once that it set

The Electric Light on Transatlantic
Steamer. - The French transatlantic
steamer Amerique is now provided
with an electrical light, in order to
prevent her collision with other ves-
sells. The lantern is placed on the bow
at height of % feet above the forecas-
tie, or AZ feet above the water. The
current is produced by Gramme cleo
tric machine, revolving at the rate of
from $500 to 1000 turns per minute.
and affording light equal to 80 car
eel burners. An ingenious device pla-
ces the control of the light in the hands
of the officer of the watch, and by this
he can extinguish the illumination or
renew it at will without stopping
the machine. Experiment has recently
proved that the most effective use of
the light, as a means of warning, is to
allow it to shine for ten seconds and
then extinguish it for the succeeding
two minutes.

PLAIN CAKE FOR CHILDREN.-When
making bread reserve enough dough to
fill quart basin; add to the dough one
egg, piece of butter size of an egg,
One-half cup Of sugar, one cup of either
English currants, chopped raisins, or
dried whortleberries. Mix the whole
thoroughly with the hands, adding
enough flour to prevent its sticking TO
the hands. Mould it as for a loaf of
bread; set it in two quart basin to use.
When it is level with the top of the pan
it should be baked like loaf of bread.
The above may be varied by adding
more sugar, and caraway seeds instead
of fruit, when the dough should be rolled
out and cut as for cookies, set to rise in
a warm place for half an hour, and then
baked.

A solar engine of simple form is
among the foreign inventions recently
chronicled. 1t is described as cOnsis-
ting of a cone of polished tin, reversed
and arranged so that its interior can be
adjusted toward the sun. In the axis
of the vessel is suspended large flask
of white glass. inside of which is a me-
tai boiler covered witt lampblack.
The rays concentrated Sy the mirror
like surface of the cone, traverse the
glass easily, and are accumulated on
the boiler, in which they speedily pro-
duce an ebullitiOn of the water and
steam sufficient to drive miniature
engine. By increasing the dimensions
of the apparatus, the inventor has OBJ
tanned a utilizable force, and produced,
after three-Quarters of an hours expo
sure to the sun, a boiler pressure of
sixty pounds of steam, which appears
to be the most important result yet OBJ
tanned by this means.

SCIENTIFIC.

Artificial Vanilla made from Wood
Tdr.-It appears that the series of dye
stuffs which may be obtained from tar
is by no means exhausted; while
another large and equally important
class of substances, also obtained from
tar. is daily increasing; substances not
intended to please the eye, but for the
nose and mouth, namely perfumes and
fiavOrs. The manufacture of salicylic
acid from carbOlic or picnic alcohol
opened the prospect of cheap manu-
facture of great numbers of various
fiavOring principles, which had been
commenced by the nitrO-benzOle or So
called oil of mirbane, which perfumers
use in place of oil of bitter almonds.
Soon benzoic acid and oil of winter
green or gdultherid were produced,
and then many closely related flavor
ing principles and now it has been
proved that vanilla flavor can be made
artifcially from one of the tar pro-
ducts.
According to the German Industrie
Blatter, Reimer reported to the Ger
man Chemical Association that he had
made from beechwOod tar, first oil OF
guaiacum, and from this vanillin, the
fiavOring principle of the expensive
vanilla bean. He obtained this by
searching for a common reaction of
the various phenOls or carbOlates (the
creOsOte-like constituents of all tars)
by which different aromatic aldehydes
are formed from each.
When phenOl or carbOlic acid is
mixed with chlOrOfOrm and an excess
of caustic soda solution. and proper
time for reaction is allowed, the un-
changed remainder OF the chlOrOfOrm
must be removed, and replaced by an
acid then an oily aldehyde of salicylic
acid will be separated, which may be
purified by combination with bisul-
pllite of soda, and decOmpOsed by some
diluted acid. Oil of guaiacum, treated
in this way. produces (as mentiOned)
vanillin. which is the aldehyde of va
nillic acid.
Marasse, who several years ago found
the oil of guaiacum in the creOsOte of
beechwOOd tar, observed then that this
body smells agreeably like vanilla, a
smell which is also peculiar to guaia-
cum wood (iignum rita, iron wood and
its resin, out of which the oil of guaia-
cum was first made in 1896 by Unver-
dOrben.
1t is to be expected that, out of the
numerous carbOlates at present known.
by applying the reaction discovered by
Reimer it will become possible to pro-
duce artificially many other natural
tlavOrs, hitherto only obtained in an
expensive way.

Bones IN the BOdy.-"HOw many
bones have in my whole body. mo-

Charlie was washing his hands at
that moment. and as he washed them
he kept opening and shutting them,
and twisting them about In all sorts OF
ways; 4; and as he did this he couldn't
help seeing that the hand was not one
single piece, but was made up OF a good
MANY pieces. And from that he began
to feel his head and his body, and to
look at his feet and his legs, and he
saw that he was all made up of little
pieces. That was what led him to ask
the question.

pieces, and place spoonful of sausage
meat, or Geld meat of any kind, chopped
very fine and well seasoned, on each

boil, scarcely simmer, until you find it
soft enough to pick apart very fine with
a fork. 1t must not be chopped but
carefully picked, it takes more time,
but it is the only right way. For cod

Ice Machines. DIR. III. Meidinger,
who has certainly devoted more atten-
tiOn than any one else to the artificial
production of cold and ice, is of the
opinion that ice machines, however
they may be eventually improved and
their effects increased will never, in
the northern parts of the the temper
ate zone, where moderately cold Win
ter, with frost, is generally expert
enced, acquire Importance enough to
meet the demand even approximately.
"They will serve merely as a valuable
substitute to render us independent of
the tickleness of the season. Even in
more southern regions, where ice ma
chimes are the only source of obtaining
ice, such machines must work to stock
and fill magazines, since the demand
for ice does not go hand in hand with
the production, but varies with the
weather." DR.. Meidinger's very just
observations on ice machines and the
profits to be derived from them COM
mercially, which he thinks are by no
means certain, do not apply to refrige-
rating apparatus, which, without pro-
ducing ice, are enabled to diminish
very considerably temperatures. There
is no reason to suppose that such ma
chimes would not serve a most useful
purpose and be cheaply worked.

WASTE EToBACCo.-Tobacco is boiled
at the Richmond Cavendish Company's
bonded works in Liverpool, to make a
wash for sheep. As much as % cwt.
has been boiled down on the premises
in a single day, and on one occasion
the Mersey river authorities were put
to much perplexity and trouble by the
difficulty of sinking mass of refuse
which had been sent out to sea, and
persisted in floating back with the in
coming tide. There were about 80 tuns
of it, and days passed before it could
be induced to disappear. The decoc-
ton of tobacco is adulterated with sui
phate of copper, turpentine, and salt,
as soon as it is cool, and the exhausted
leaf partially destroyed tdenicotised)
with quicklime before leaving the boil
ing house, under the directions of the
customs. This prevents either the waste
or the refuse from being used in to-
bacco manufacture afterwards. Each
gallon of the sheep wash contains the
essence of "a Ozs. of strong American
leaf. The preparation, which is al
lowed to be sold free of duty, has found
favor not only among breeders of sheep
but among agriculturists ard gardeners
as an effective vermin destroyer
