Countless accidents, as every one

To obtain light without employing

contr ivarce is now used by the watch

whitest and eleasest glass, and put in
to it piece ofphosphorus about the
size Of a pea. Pour some olive oil.
heated to boiling heat. upon the
phosphorus; fill the phial about ono
third full. and then cork it tightly.
To use this novel light, remove tho
cork. allow the mir to enter the phiai,
aud then recork it. The empty space
in tn, phial will become luminous, and
the light obtained will be equal to that
off lamp. When the light grows dim
its power can be increased by taking
out the cork and allowing fresh hs
of air to enter the phial. In winter il
is sometimes necessary to heat the phi
al between the hands in order to in
crease the huidi,y Of the oil. The sp-
paratus thus prepared may be used for
about six months.

All good housekeepers, except a

esty Of their milkmen. An impromp.
tu lactometer can be provided by any
lady without much expense nor ingen.
uity, which will unerringly test the
purity Of any kind Of milk. Procure
hollow glass bulb aud stem of small
dimensions, and load it with quicksil-
yer, small shot, or sand, so that it
will float upright in pure milk. Mark
on the stem the surface point to hich
it sinks. Then put it in pure water
marking the floating point, as before,
which will be higher. Then take a
narrow slip of paper rolled lengthwise
and insert in the stem so that figures
on it can be seen. Lay off on tins, in
the direction Of its length, a space
equal 10 the distance between the two
surface points, numbering the first
point 0 and the other 100 Suodiyide
this space into twenty proportional
spaces correspondingly numbered. then
insert the slip into the stem, so that
the 0 will be at the surface point Of
the milk. aud the 100 at that of the
water, and your lactometer is complete.
Float it in your milk every morning,
and the depth to which it will sink
will register the percentage of dishon'
est water, if any, the milk contains.
Suppose, for example, the ins,rumen,

mtntalism abroad nowadays about
whipping boys. In ancient days boys
we're soundly aogged, and they grew
up into the men who laid the founda-
ton Of the worlds civilization. The
men who won our independence were
all whipped at home and at school
when they we're boys. Our fellows
who went out TO Mexico and waiked
through the halls Of the Montczuma,
had all been spanked by their moth
ers, boxed by their primary teachers
and aogged by their fathers and the
teachers Of their yonth. Every man
on either side in our civil war had felt
the rod, aud there is not man in the
country now over thirty.fve who does
not remember good old days Of whole
some fogging at school, and feel the
better for the discipline that made
him then smart. Ii is only those lat
ter-day young saints whose spirits can
not endure the rol. They are the
high-toned young bucks who seize n
cue 90 soon as they can ltok over a
billiar,l-table, who 90 into the mint
julep business on joint speculation
with pocket money just sufficient 10 60
halves on one julep and two stravs,
who chew tobacco as soon as they cut
their second teeth. who torture their
infant stomachs with mean cigars, and
rs they approach manhood, go home
on Saturday night into the presence Of
their mothers aud sisters as drunk as
fools. They are the same hiph-spIrit-
ed fellows who, when they, in the old
age of their young manhood, take to
them.elves wives, being removed from
their mothers and sisters, make them
selves agreeable by frequently going
home drunk. and making their fami.
lies economic for the benefit Of the
high.toned fellows with whoid they
run. IL is all stuff and nonsense
about breaking the spirit OF boys. All
that hai ever been done in the world
has been accomplished by men who
were fogged when they were boys.
What the new sentimental trimming is
to do for the world will be left for
time 10 reveal, but no person of any
intelligence can regard the tenderly
nurtured and mildly disciplined youth
coming up around us now. and say
that he discovers in thenIthe elements
of a greatness that is tn make the
grandeur Of the past appear mean and
little. Cromwell and Nelson andW Wei

and American history were vigorously

changed since the days of Solomon,
and spelling the youth is as much
consequence nowof spariug the rod as
in his day. Halt the boys of this
generation would be improved if they
were soundly and regularly trounced
three times week. They might not
all need it exactly at the appointed
time, but it would benefit all by re-
minding them that there is an
authority paramount to ,heir own un-
