The London Telegraph perpetrates the
folIowinp: "sWhen the bell rings
look ont for the locomotive Such Is
the ominous notice painted on the sign
nosts in the streets of the most popuious
suberbs of every American town. IL
means that when bell is heard Jang-
limo. IL will be one placed over the mid
die of the boiler ofa steam engine drag-
g;no a long train of cars which have
lust issued from the depot, and VIII
philosophically pursue their way along
the crowded thoroughfare en- route ior
the far West or the far East, as the case
may be. The track is neither waiieu
nor fenced in; to carry it by viaduct
over the houses would be too expensive
tn suit American notions Of railway
economy. and it is found cheaper to
warn all and sundry, that when the
bell rings the locomotive lnay be ex-
pected to come plunging and snorting
along. Unfortunately, in American
cities. as everywhere else, there are a
number of deaf, purblind, nervous, and
stupid people to say nothing OF wildly
frolicsome Yankee children; and the
consequence is that, Justify as the bell
may ring, a considerable proportion OF
the population, especially the Juveniles
do not look for the locomotive, but get
crushed to death or miserably mutilated
beneath the monsters pitiless wheels.
1t Is difficult to visit an American in
firmary without finding some OF th'
beds occupied by the victims Of stree
railway accidents"

All for the Rest

A devout philosopher came to town
whose gates were closed. Hungry and
thirsty, he was obliged to pass the night
in the open air. He said, "What God
sends is good" and laid himself down.
Near him stood his ass also a burning
lantern, on account of the insecurity OF
the country. But storm arose and ex-
tinguished his light; also lion came
and devoured his ass. He awOke, found
himself alone. and said, what God
sends is good, and waited quietly for
the dawn of day.
When he came to the gates, he found
them open, the town devastated, robbed
and plundered. A gang of robbers had
invaded it during the night, and had
killed or taken the inhabitants away
prisoners. He was spared. "Said not,
exclaimed he, "that all that God sends
is good 7 Only, generally it is not un-
til the morning that we see why He
denied us something in the evening.

Perseverance.

All the performances of human art at
which We look with praise or wonder
are instances of the resistless force of
perseverance; it is by this that the
quarry becomes a pyramid, and that
distant countries are united with canals.
If man were to compare single
stroke of pick axe, or OF one impress
sion Of the spade, with the general de-
sign and last result, he would be over
whelmed by the sense of their dispro-
portion; yet these petty operations,
necessarily continued, in time surmount
the greatest difficulties, and mountains
are levelled and oceans bounded by the
slender force of human beings.

Enameled Bricks.-The process of
enameling is very interesting and may
be briefly described. The enamel
which comes in large cakes, bearing a
strong resemblance to sulphur, is pas
sed and re-passed through a Blake
Brusher, breaking it into small pieces.
1t is then reduced to powder by grind
ing in hoppers. After being reduced
to the desired fineneSs, it is mixed with
a certain liquid in tin vessels, when 1t
is ready to be applied to the bricks.
This is done by men carefully dipping
the side of the brick intended to be
enameled into the mixture. The enam-
el hardens almost instantaneOusly, and
is finished by being placed in fire clay
vessels, five bricks in each, and baked
in a large kiln. The company have
three kilns, each capable of baking
10000 bricks at once. The process of
baking occupies sixty hours, so the
company have a manufacturing capa-
city of 1 900 enameled bricks per hour.
The brick, after the enameling process
is completed, is beautiful in the eX-
treme. The enamel is put on in all
colors and shades of color, and some of
the finished bricks exhibited recently
were of the most beautiful shades of
green, pearl, and blue, as true and del
icate in tint as though they had been
oil painted. The great beauty of this
enamel is that it is absolutely indie
structible, the color unchangeable, and
that nothing can permanently soil or
mar its beauty. The great variety of
color. and the durability of these
bricks, is destined to work revolution
iu our style of buildings.

SCIENTIFIC.

Mirsral and Vegetable Wares.-Min-
eral wakes are HYDROCARBONS, often
crystallizable. and differing from each
other in their temperature OF fusion.
They are frequently derived from re,
sinOus trees buried in peat beds and
rarely from lignites or coal formations.
The principal variety used lndustrially
is OzOkerit, sometimes called natural
paraffin. 1t is less dense than water,
of a waxy luster, and in one direction
presents q cOnchoidal fracture. break
ing into thin translucent scales. Its
color is brOwnish green by reflected
light or yellOwish white. 1t is soft,
flexible, cuts like wax, and sOftens at a
low Temperature. The Odor is arOmat-
ic, and becomes more bituminOus when
the wax is rubbed. Friction also cleo
trifies it negatively. 1t is fusible into
a clear oily liquid, and burns with a
bright flame. 1t is soluble entirely in
turpentine and naphtha, more or less
in ether, and slightly SO in boiling al
cohol, when the material separates IN
crystalline state on cooling. 1t is un-
attackable by sulphuric acid.
OzOkerit is found in the Caucasus, In
England, and in Austria. In Moldavia,
it is directly employed for illumination,
being used in gas making, and In the
manufacture of candles. A factory in
Frankfort on the Oder prepares the
material under the name of cereslne,
and produces over 100000 lbs. yearly.
Ozokerit, in purified form. is largely
used by perfumers and in pharmacy IN
place of beeswax, as it hinders medlca-
ments from becoming rancid.
A similar substance, now but little
employed, is hatchetin or mineral adj
pOcere. This is of yellOwish white
color, has a mOther-Of-pearl lustre, Is
of about the conscience of spermacetl
1t is found in Belgium, MOravia, Bo-
hemia, Wales, and England. 1t Il
scarcely attacked by nitric acid, but Is
completely carbOnized by sulphurit
acid. 1t is slightly soluble in boiling
alcohol and ether, leaving a viseou'
and lnOdOrous residue.
Other mineral wakes are nJf-gh
found in the island of Tschelekan IL
the Caspian Sea, near naphtha sources
and baikerite, from the vicinity oi
Lake Baikal. These are fossil wakes
or more probably bitumens, as are alst
kir and elaterite. The latter, Otter
termed elastic bitumen or mineral ca
OutchOuc, is of less density than water
of blackish color, and is elastic like
rubber. 1t has been found in this coun'
try, near Woodbury., Conn.,, and IL
many parts of Great Britain.
There is large number of vegetable
wakes but slightly known. Some arr
secreted by insects, which absorb the
sap of various plants. Others are de
rived from the exudatiOns OF palm
trees. The Copernicid ceriferd, Bra
lillian tree, bears leaves from the gland
of which carnauba wax is obtained
| The commerce in this material exceeds
100000 lbs. yearly. In the Andes
there exists the cerorytOR dndicotd
which also yields a material known a
palm wax.-Ld Nature.

To RESTORE THE WHTTENEss TO IVORY
HANDLED KNIvEs.-Wash with soaped
flannel and lukewarm water; then
wipe very dry. Soak them occasionally
in alum water that has been boiled and
allowed to cool. Let the handles lie for
one hour in this, then remove them and
brush them well (say with nail
BRUSH. After this take a clean linen
towel, dip it in cold water, squeeze it
out, and while wet wrap it around the
handles, leaving them in ii to dry gradu-
ally, as if dried too rapidly out of the
alum water they will be injured. If
properly managed, this process will
whiten them. Knives, after using,
should be wiped with soft paper, re-
moving the grease, etc., then plsce6i-in
a deep can or vessel, keeping the handles
above water, lukewarm, until washed,
cleaned, and thoroughly dried.

PASTE, GLUE AND WHrTEwAsH.-A
scientific contemporary states that the
decomposition of paste may be prevented
by adding to it a small quantity of car
bolic acid. 1t will not then become Of
fensive, as it often does when kept for
several days, or when successive layers
of paper are put on with paste. In the
same way, the disagreeable smell which
glue often has may be prevented. If a
few drops of the solution be added to
ink or mucilage they will not mold
For whitewash, especially when used
in cellars and dairies, the addition of
one ounce of fcarbolic acid 10 each gallon
will prevent mold aud the disagreeable
odor which sometimes taints the milk
and meat kept in such places.

DAYS AND VOICES.
BY q. P. LArHRoP-

Swift the elm-tree's leaves are falling
Plaintively the pee-wee calling
Mingles with the leaves his notes;
And the ghost OF summer floats
Through the air.
Like the leaves, the days long vanished,
Mixed with voices dead or banished,
Come TO me with those sweet notes.
But the ghost of gladness floats
Through despair.

The SonOrOus Qualities Of Metdls.-M.
Decharme has recently concluded a
series of experiments to determine the
sOnorOus capabilities of different me-
tails. Cylindrical rods. rs inches in
length and 0'39 inch in diameter, were
suspended by threads or rested on
cork prisms. Each was struck by a
piece of wood covered with rubber. As
regards number of vibrations, lead was
found to yield the lowest, or in the ra-
ito of $50 to the maximum of ace for
aluminium. The intermediate results
are: For gold $40, silver 1,034, tin l 1,16l,
brass 1903, bronze 1881, zinc 1, ,422, cop
per 1, ,462, cast iron l ,S43, wrought iron
9, 1872, and steel :, 222 As regards du-
ration of sound, the following results
were obtained in seconds of time and
fractions lead 0'3, tin a little less than
1, zinc 1, cast iron little less than 2,
copper about 5, wrought iron 12, brass
IA, bronze "a, steel 40. The author
notes the fact that steel rod, when
supported on the sides of cork prisms,
gives a sound which lasts but 2j sec
Onds, or but little over half the period
as when the steel is suspended. Brass,
on the contrary, sounds from 90 to q
seconds when on the cOrks, instead OF
"a, as when suspended by the thread.

CARROTS INSTEAD OF EGGs.-An ex-
change says: 1t is not generally known
that boiled carrots, when properly pre-
pared, form an excellent substitute for
eggs in puddings. They must, for this
purpose, be boiled and mashed, and
passed through a coarse cloth or hair
sieve strainer. The pulp is then intro
duced among the other ingredients of a
pudding, TO the total omission of eggs.
A pudding made up in this way is much
lighter than where eggs are used, and
is much more palatable. On the prin-
ciple of economy, this fact is worthy of
the prudent housewives attention.

PRINCIPLES OF COOP FARMING.-First
The farmer who would succeed well,
and derive pleasure as well as profit
from his calling, must manifest An ac-
tive and abiding interest in his voca-
ton. 1t takes heart-work to make
hand-work pleasant.
Second-The farmer must study how
best to increase and maintain the fer
tility of his soils. There is no inertia
in agrfculture.-There must be motion
either forward or retrograde.
Third-The farmer must strive to in
crease the quality as well as the guam
tity OF his crops. 1t is the quality that
determines the price.
Fourth-The farmer must seek with
watchful eye to improve his market
facilities. 1t is the transportation that
eats up the profits.
Fifth-The art of raising better stock
is not as well known as it should be.
Keep no more animals than you have
the facilities to feed and care for well.
Sixth-The farmer must seek to i'm
prove his social, intellectual and finan-
cial condition.

PERCHERoN HoRsEs.-This breed OF
horses, now become quite popular, are
managed very peculiarly in their own
home in France. During the term OF
CESSATION the mares are worked con-
tinuously, except very few days
about the time of foaling. The colts
are moved al six months, and put Into
the best Of pastures. and for year are
simply an expense to their owner, but
receive no extra attention, the food
being almost entirely grass and hay,
with no grain.
At year and half old the colts are
put into work under the guidance of a
skilful. patient, careful man. They
are put at light work, three or four
doing the work of one full-grown horse.
During this time they are well fed, be-
cause somewhat productive; even now
/ however, they are not fed grain; but
the greatest caution Is manifested in
their training and they are never over
worked. Thus, after Percheron colt
attains an age of eighteen months it is
employed sufficiently to pay its board
and care, and still its development j:
not checked but its training perfected
and size and strength attained in
greater and better proportion than il
! left to itself until three of four years o.
