Few men have sweet tempers, or hold
such as they possess under steady, in
variable control, though there are men,
who. without this sweetness of nature,
however much tried, never seem to
lose their self-cOmmand. No public
man can get on long who has not his
temper well in hand but with the
same amount of infiammable particles,
men differ very much on the occasions
that set fire to them. Some people, who
are all compOsure when we might rea-
sonably expect and justly excuse an
explosion, will break down into pee
vishness. Or passing frenzy on slight
prOvOcatiODs. We have known men,
quite remarkable for well bred seren-
ity, be unreasonably and cbildishly tes-
ty ar some transient annoyance of q
sort they are not used to. Highly sem
sitive organizations and intellects kept
on the stretch. are always irritable.

Lerei of the Sea.-That there are GER
tain irregularities in the level OF the
sea, or local deviatioDs from a true
rpheroid, such authorities as Stokes,
Airy, Sabine, Fisher and Lesting have
long believed. DE-. Hahn, of Vienna,
draws attention to these Irregularities,
which, he thinks, are very consider
able, exceeding perhaps, 1900 feet.
DR.. Hahn proposes, by means of the
pendulum. to thoroughly study this H.
teresting problem, this being the best
instrument for measuring attitudes, if
by attitudes we understand the eleva-
tiOn above the regular spheroid, and
not merely above the level of the sea.
These deviatiOns of the sea level are
caused by the attraction of land masses
rs well as by the varying depths of the
ocean.

water, and boil; add a tablespoonful of
butter; when the butter is melted the
milk is sufficiently hot; have ready four
eggs beaten with sugar, tablespoonful
TOR each egg is safe rule; add the
vanilla to the eggs and mix thoroughly
and quickly; any flavOring is apt to
curdle the hot milk when used clear ;
then pour the eggs gradually in the
milk, previously taking the milk from
the fire, stirring all the time; when
well mixed pour into cups, or baking
dish; set in a pan of hot water and bake
twenty minutes-cups less; test with a
broom splint, and If it comes out clean
and the custard seems firm they are
done; always take them from the oven
il they begin to boil or bubble up, then
they will whey and be coarse.

The Movement of Storm Centres.-In
MeteorolOgy, the most interesting pa
per that has recently appeared is that
by w. G. Ley, published in the Jour-
nal of the Scottish Meteorological Soci-
ETY.. Mr.. Ley presents an attempt at q
philosophical explanation of the move
ments of storm centres but It is his
statistical researches that are of espe-
cial value, since. like those of LoOmis,
they pave the way for the correct un-
derstanding of the subject. He states
that he himself belongs TO those who
believe that a cyclOnic system is not to
be treated as an eddy in the prevailing
currents. and that its westward or
eastward motion Is not wholly due to
the force of those currents. He finds
from his extensive studies that the
mean tracks of storm centres show q
general coincidence with prevailing
winds, and individual depressiOns show
q tendency to travel arOInd temporary
local areas of high barometer, keeping
the latter on the right hand in the
European storms. A suggestion of Mr..
Robert Tennet seems to have led him
during the past year to examine whe-
ther there is any connection between
the movement of the storm centre and
the position of its steepest barOmetric
gradients. He finds that of 800 storms
passing near Great Britain during nine
years the large majority had a tenden-
cy tO move in directions parallel to the
trend of the steepest gradients; thus
when the isObars are closest on the
southeast side. the tangents trend to .
ward the northeast, and tifty-fve Per
cent. of these storms move in the same
direction. He finds alsO evidences of
less important disturbing force ten
ding to make the depressiOns move to-
ward the northeast by east. 1t would
be interesting to compare Ley's rules
with the behavior of American storms.
We can see no reason why they should
obtain for the storms occurring be-

Oil Pipe Lines.-The total mileage of
iron pipe used in the oil region is
placed by good authority at not far
from 800 miles. some asserting 1000
miles TO be nearer the truth. This is
owned by the following pipe line COM
panies: Atlantic, Union. Keystone,
Antwerp, Relief, Sandy & Milton, Uni
ted, Grant, Pennsylvania, TranspO ia
tiOn, American Transfer & Conduit.
The principal area of these pipes lies
in Butler county, Pa. where the pro-
ducing districts are far apart, and the
farms in some places are covered as by
huge spider webs. The Conduit Com
paDy has over 100 miles in use. includ-
ing 4S miles of main pipe, inches in
diameter, and 4S miles of connections,
of 9 inch pipe. Before gallon of oil
was pumped, this line cost S400. 900.
Taking 1.5O0 miles as the quantity of
pipe in use, and the cost and laying to
he 80 per cents per foor, 1t appears that
Sc, ,6S2.0 900 is invested IN pipes alone.
The cost of pumps, tanks, etc, will
swell this to double the amount.

Drawing Among the TrogIOdy tes.

Strange as it appears, these people
evinced, Notwithstanding their other
wise low condition, a decided taste fol
drawing and even for carving. TheiI
delineatiOns traced with pointed flint
on horn, bone, ivory, or slate, consist
occasionally in geometrical figures
composed of parallel lines, rows OF
dots, lOZenges, ETC., but mostly in out
lines of fishes or of quadrupeds, such
as the horse, reindeer. stag, lbeX, au-
rochs, mammoth, and Others. These
animals appear either single or In
groups, and often exhibit their charac-
terlstlc features In degree to render
them recognizable almost at the first
glance. Sometimes, however, the
drawings resembl the first awakened
attempts of children at representing
animals, in which cases, of course, ii
remains doubtful what creature the
primitive artist intended TO delineate.
whether an OK, horse, a reindeer, or
some other quadruped. Such repre-
sentations have chiefly been found at
the stations of Les EyZies, Laugerie
Basse, and La Madelaiue. The figures
of animals are often traced on the
stems of beams of reindeer antlers,
which are in such cases carefully
worked, and pierced at the broader eX-
tremity with round holes. varying in
number from one TO four. These re-
markable objects can not have served
as weapons. being too light for such an
application, yet their frequent occur
renee and unlformi,y Y of type show that
they possessed a conventional signifi-
canoe, and therefore had been regarded
as badges OF authoTI'y or distinction

of the tribe, like the bats which in our
day indicate the dignity of marshal.
The number of holes in these decora-
ted reindeer horns is thought to have
been propOrtioUate to the position oc-
cupied by the wearer. Supposing the
given Interpretation to Toe Correct, it
would follow that the troglody ties al
ready were sufficiently numerous to
form a society in which the distinctions
of rank were recognized. - Harper's

Changes of Climate.-Dr. Pillar, from
the study of the phenomena presented
by the Alpine system, concludes that
there is indubitable evidence OF for
mer general lowering of the tempera-
ture, and a great extension of the gla-
cial sy stem throughout Europe. This
same scieutist cites the abandonment in
the fifteenth century OF the early Da-
nIsh settlements in Greenland, also the
cessation of the cultivation of rye in
Iceland, and the destruction of the lar
ger trees in that island together with
the closing Of many historically we'll
known passes in the Alps, AS evidences
of more recent notifications in the eli

less extensive In the climate of Europe

To STARCH MusLINs, ETC.-Add to the
starch for fine muslins little white
gum Arabic. Keep a bottle of 1t ready
for use. Dissolve two ounces in a pint
of hot water; bottle it; use as may be
required. adding it to the starch. Mus
lins, calicOes, ETC., should never be
sitter than when new. Rice-water and
isinglass stiffen very thin muslins better
than starch.
For black calicoes: Boil a strong tea
of fig leaves; mix the starch for stiffen-
ing with this. After washing the arti-
Gle through three warm waters, rinse il
in fig leaf tea; when nearly dry, fold ;
let it remain half an hour, and iron i'm
mediately. If articles are not soon
ironed they become sour, and acquire n
disagreeable smell. This is also the
case if the starch is suffered to stand too
long after being made. Cover starch
after it is made TO prevent its forming a
useless skin. Spermaceti, salt or loaf
sugar will prevent its sticking to the
iron.

rubbed two times weekly, for half all
hour each time, after the skin of the
head had been thoroughly cleansed with
warm water without soap. The treat
