A CHEAP PAINT.-The extent of lencino
was too great to admit of painting with
oil paints because of the expense, and the
alternative acted upon was to steep the
wood in solution Of bark, alder or oak.
with the addition of II little quicklme
The wood in the sawn state was allowed
to remain in the steep from ten to fourteen
days, at the end Of which it was ken
out, of II reldsh-brown color, which not
only retained the color permanently, but
the wood was evidently improved in dura
bility-at least the softer and younger de-
scriptions of it were so. An excellent
substitute for paint is found in the follow.
ing prescription, which is both cheap
and simple in its application, and highly
beneficial to the wood: A box, tub, pail
or barrel is first provided of any dimen.
sions suited to the quantity to be made ut

or more of quicklime is provided, reduced
to fine powder, and passed through .
sieve or screen as in preparing mortar for
plaster-work. To The lime water is add
ed, and the mixture is brought to the con-
sistcncy of thick cream. To each bushel
of lime one-sixth part of common coarse
salt should be added, boil the mixture IL

off the froth as the boiling goes on, and
by slow degrees during the boiling add for
every five bushels of lime and water three.

this respect among birds. Love tokens
are exchanged by pressing of beaks to-
gether-a veritable kissing accompanied
by loving gestures. They are also more
sociable, and even ut nesting time more
peacable than other birds. In the case of
other grosbeaks, when the male bird sits
by the female in the nest there are vari-
Gus demonstrations of affection, but also
slight occasional disputes, especially about
feeding time. Next in order come the
small parrots, which also appear almost in
separable. The male bird feeds his COM
panion with seeds from the crop. This
goes on quite regularly during the hatch
ing, and until the young are somewhat
grown. During all this time the hen bird,
which broods alone. never leaves the nest
but for few minutes and the cock shows
such ailectionate care that the whole day
he seems to do nothing but take food and
give it again. Yet even this loving union
is marred from time 10 time, even during
the Matching time, with quarrels that even
come to blows. Again, The male bird of
n pair of chafiinches only occasionally sits
on The eggs on young, but he watches the
nest very carefully, singing to his mate the
while, accompanies the hen in flight, and
helps her in feeding the young.-Chant-

Ben, and he worked away, laying more
bricks, and carrying the wall up higher,
till the close Of the day, when they quit
ted work and went home.
The next morning they went to resume
their work, when, behold, the lie had
wrought out the result of all lies The

TnE ARAB's PRooE-A Frenchman
who had won 4 high rank among men of
science, vet who denied the God who is
the author ofall science, was crossing the
Great Sahara in company with an Arab
guide. He noticed with " sneer that ut
times his guide, whatever obstacles might
arise, put them all aside, and kneeling on
the burning sands, called on his God. Day
after day passed, and still the Arab never
failed; till at last one evening the phioso
pher, us he rose from his knees, asked
him, with contemptuous smile, How
do YOU know there is II God?" The guide
fixed his beaming eyes on the scofler for II
moment in wonder, and then said solemn
ly, " How do knOO there is II God? How
do know that man, and nota camel,
passed my hut last night in the darkness?
Was it not by the print Of his feet in the
sand? Even so"-and he pointed to the
sun, whose last rays were flashing over
the lonely desert-'that foot print is not
of u man."
A Low VOICE IN WOMAN.-Yes, we
agree with that old poet who said that II
low, soft voice was an " excellent thing in
woman" Indeed, we feel inclined to 90
much further than he has on the subject
and call it one of her browning charms.
No matter what other charms she may
have; she may be us tair rs the Trojan
Helen and as learned as the famous Hypa-
tia of ancient times; she may have all the
Accomplishments considered requisite at
the present dny, and every advantage
which wealth can procure, and yet if she
lacks low sweet voice she can never be
really fascinating. How often the spell of
beauty is rudely broken by coarse, loud
talking. How often you are drawn to
plain, unassuming woman, whose soft,
silvery tones render her positively attrac-
tive. Besides, we fancy we can judge of
the character by the voice; the bland,
smooth, fawning tones seem to betoken
deceit and hypocrisy as invariably as the
musical subdued voice indicates genuine
refinement. In the social circle, how
pleasant it is to hear woman talk in that
low key which always characterizes the
true lady. In the sanctuary at home how
such voice soothes the fretful child, and
cheers the weary husband. How sweetly
Its cadence floats through the sick cham
ber and around the dying bed; with what
solemn melody do they breathe a prayer
for the departing soul. All, yes, low,
soft voice is IAN excellent thing in wo-
mann

LOST IN DIVING DRESsEs.-Australian
state that two divers engaged
in pearl fishing were recently drowned
while at work in their diving dresses, and
two swimming divers have been devoured
by sharks, The sharks are now so num-
erous as to produce perceptible falling
off in the quantity of pearl shells obtained.
One of the divers is described as losing
his life in singular way. He was walk
ing along the bottom, which was very lev
ell and free from coral, when his lifeline
became entangled round large piece oil
cup.shaped coral, tie only obstruction
for considerable distance. The boat to
which he was attached was drifting with
the tide rs he walked on, and the life line
getting foul, the boat was anchored, as il
were. The strain thus brought on the
lifeline would appear to have drawn the
diver down to the coral, thereby creating
such alarm as to cause him so far to lose
his presence of mind that he cut the line.
He might Just us well have cut his throat

USE OF FLIES.-Although flies are, in
summer, the pest of our lives. and we
wonder why they were ever made at all,
it should be remembered that they have
an infancy rs maggotS, and the then
loathsome life they lead us scavengers
cleanses and puriies the August air, and
lowers the death rates of our cities and
towns, Thus, while Stables and piggeries,
and filth are tolerated by city and town
authorities, the young Of the house llv and
the flesh and blow-tly, with their Thousand
allies, are doing something toward purify
ing the peslilcntal and nverting the sum
mer brood of cholera, dysentary, and
typhoid fever, which descend like harpies
upon the devoted towns and cities 1t
may be regarded as an axiom that whor-
ever flies most abound, there filth, dc ,th-
dealing and banefu!, is most abundant,
and filth diseases such as we have named
do congregnte. A fly which is born in
August generally lives month or six
weeks, and dies ut the coming of frost,
either of cold or the attacks of fungod
plants. A few, probably, winter over,
and survive until midsummer, and thus
maintain the existence of this useful spe-
ees, to which civilized man owes more
than can readily be estimated, and which
he can dispense with only when the health
of cities and towns is looked after with flr
greater vigilance and intelligence than
is perhaps likely to be the case for several
centuries 10 come.

The Flying PrOa.

lfn boat-builder is asked to construct II
boat which shall he not only fast, but ahso-
lutely safe in all contingencies, which can
neither capsize, swamp, nor sink, no mat
ter if she strikes on the sharpest rocks in
He'll Gate, he will frankly confess that he
cannot do it. Nevertheless, such boat
can be built, and with it two oool-headed
ghls can outsail the Sappho or the Colum-
6ia without risking any danger more seri-
ous than that of an occasional sprinkling
of spray.
The hollow log and the solid log are the
germs from which two widely distinct
types of vessels have been develOped--those
in which, and those on which, the crew is
carried. We have developed the hollow
log through all the various stages that sep
arate the canoe and the Cunarder, but have
abandoned the solid log after having con-
verted it into the cumbrous lumber raft.
The South Sea Islanders, on the other hand
have developed the solid-log idea until the
result is seen in their double war canoes
vessels that, although wonderfully swift
and safe, are virtually nothing more than
two parallel logs joined together with n
platform, on which mast is planted. The
Feiee double canoe is not, however, the
consummate flower Of barbarian boat
building genius. 1t has been surpassed by
the flying proa of the l.adrone lslands-a
craft that combines to some extent both
the hollow and the solid.log ideas, and
which merits brief description here.
The hull of the flying proa exhibits on
one side the graceful lines of a well-model-
cd boat. but on the other side it is perfectly
fiat. Were an ordinary sail boat to be cut
in two along the keel, aud each half to be
boarded up perpendicularly, either would
present rude idea of the model OF the
proa. Each end of the proa is exactly
alike. and as the mast is placed exactly In
the middle, the craft will sail equally we'll
with either end first. Across the deck run
stout bamboo poles, which project beyond
the rounded side of the proa, and arc las.
tened at their extremities to log of wood
placed parallel with the boat, and fashion

cd so as to offer the slightest practicable
resistance to the water. The weight of this
log or outrigger acts as II counterpoise to
the force of the wind, since, by the peculiar
manner in which the proa is sailed the
log is always on the windward side. Thus,
although the proa is excessively long and
narrow, it can never capsize, the outrigger
answering the same purpose in this respect
which the Feejeean accomplishes by using
a double canoe.
The mast although placed exactly half
way between the ends of the boat, stands
in the bilge close to the gunwale, where ii
is fastened to the middle beam of the out
riggcr. The sail is latcen, triangular in
shape. but much wider at the foot and less
lofty in proportion than are most lateen
sails. 1t does not seem large in compari-
son with the length of the proa, but in
view o: the extreme narrowness of the hull
and its want of stability apart from the
oulrigger it is really an enormous sail.
The fore end of the yard fits into II socket
ut the end of the boat, and the foot of the
snil is laced to boom. 1t is thus capable
of being trimmed rs flat us Il board, and as
| ~ 10 l0olou NY elHlPIy IollllS luc boOiH un'
til the desired amount of sail is wrapped
around it, the shape of the sail always re-
mains the same.
AS has been said, the proa is sailed with
either end first, but the outrigger is always
kept on the windward side. The flat side
of the hull being thus always the lee side,
acts as keel OF centerboard but with
more effect than either. In fact, the proa
is said to make scarcely any percepliblY
leeway. When beating against Il head,
wind the proa never tacks. She is merely
kept away until her stern approaches the
wind, when the yard is swung around, and
what was the stern suddenly becomes the
bow. 1t is credibly asserted that this prod
uct of barbarian genius often attains q
speed of twenty miles, and it is certain
that not only is the proa the fastest sailing
boat in existence, but it will sail nearer
the wind than any vessel known to Euro
pean or American ailors.-Hatper,s Mug

DECREASE OF RURAL INDEBTEDNESS.
The reports of the indebtedness of the
towns of Maine indicate Il large reduction
within the past ten years. At the close of
the war the rural towns We're heavily in
debt for soldiers bounties. The taxpayers
in nearly all such towns set themselves
resolutely TO the work of paying up. In
ten years scores of towns have paid their
entire Indebtedness, and all have reduced
il largely, except few who have loaned
their credit to railroad enterprises. This
financial exhibit of the farming sections ol
Maine is most encouraging, and more than
any other cause will enhance the value of
farms. Taxation his come to mean some
thing to our people, so that the man who
is looking for farm will, among his first
inquiries, ascertain the Indebtedness Of the
town If it amounts to ten or twenty pei
cent of the valuation re will 20 elsewhere

times to got rich at light work in cities, tC

A BRAVE REGNIENT.-During the PEN
insul campaign Wellington was often fore
ed to send picked men into dangerous pa-
ces. On u certain occasion it became neces-
sary 10 capture Il battery at St. Sebastian
a battery which was hurling destruction
into the British ranks-and the Law of the
land was such, and, attendant circum-
stances that not u full regiment could be
used in the work The duke selected the
body men and told them what he want
ed done. He knew the danger of the
enterprise but the safety of the whole
army depended on the succGss of that one
movement Said he to the commanding
officer
Colonel, | have faith in you and your
men. Your regiment is the first in the
world"
" Aye, my lord,' replied the colonel,
quickly, land by the time your order is
fully executed it will he the first in the
neXl?' And then he plunged to the head
of his regiment, and gave the order for
the forward movement.
His reply to the duke had been heard
by those who stood near, and they told it
to others, and so it flew through the reg.
iment and became the battle cry. The old
soldiers caught inspiration from it. 1t made
them invncible, They somehow felt thai
it would be all right with them any way
They would be the first regiment, let it be
in this world or in the next. With u loud
shout they dashed on-dashed on with
in impetus against which the French can.
noneers went down like grassland not
more than one man in twenty of the ut
tacking party was fatally stricken. Well
ington afterwards declared, and others dc
clared with him, that it was the mos
magnificent charge ever seen.
