SIMPLE METHOD OF NENTILATING Rooms
Nail or screw neat strip of wood. from one
to two inches high, upon the window sill. just
inside of the sash and extending entirely
across from one side of the window-frame to
the other. Upon the top of this strip fasten
piece of ordinary weather strip, so that
there will be formed an air-tight Joint between
the weather strip and the lower sash of the
window, whether the latter is shut down tight
or raised an inch or two the lower cross
piece of the sash sliding on the rubber of the
weather strip us the sash rises With this in
place. the lower sash may be raised enough to
admit stream of air between the sashes,
where they lap over each other at the middle
of the window, without admitting the least air
at the window sill. The air admitted between
the sashes is thrown directly up towards the
ceiling, and there mixes with the heated air at
the upper part of the room The room is
thereby ventilated without drafts of cold air.
The fixture should be applied TO several win
dows in room. The amount of ventilat on
may be regulated by the distance that the low.
er sash is raised This arrangement is cheap
simple, and effective. Scientific american.

NoDULAR GRANITE. - Probably nowhere on
the earths surface does nodular granite occur
except in Caledonia and Orleans counties, and
in Canada adjoining the latter county. This
granite takes Its name from the nodules Of
mica disseminated through it, These nodules
vary in size from that of pea up TO three
inches in diameter. There shape is oblong
and somewhat tiattened. They consist OF pure
mica, arranged in concentric layers. and be
ing black give the rock in which they are i'm
bedded n plum pudding appearance. Many
people III the localities where they occur con-
slider them to be petrihed butternuts. but it
requires no great geological knowledge TO dis
pei that view. Rev. S. r. Hall, Ii. D., when
engaged on the geological survey of this State,
sent specimens TO Germany where they were
regarded by scientific men as great curiosi-
ties-COr. RatLaHd HerdH

maliciously. She also accused him
of deserting her, and applied seye-
raj very uncomplimentary terms to
him. Ingersoll retorted in kind,
reiterating his charge of infdehty,
and taunted ber with having ruined
her reputation. At this Mrs. In
gersoll Snatched up a chair, and
hitting her husband a tremendous
blow on the head, knocked him
down. AS soon as he had regained
his feet he wrenched the chair from
her grasp, and she attacked him
again with her fists. Mrs. Inger-
soil is a powerful and plucky wo-
man, and soon got the mastery over
her opponent. Throwing him
again to the floor, she proceeded to
pummel him souhdly, until, be-
tween his gasps for breath, he called
for assistance, and begged the clerks
to take her away before she killed
him. They did so, and Mrs. Inger-
soil left triumphant.

thing around him, and deeply ab-
sorbed in the study of Arabic, in
which, as in other Oriental Ian
guages, he has perfected himself
since the war at the University of
Berlin, and by his own studies in
connection with the professorship
which he fills, until he now has no
superior, and scarcely an equal in
that department in this country.
In winter quarters it was very COM
mon to organize schools in which
accomplished teachers would guide
enthusiastic students into the mys-
teries of Latin, Greek, modern
languages, and the higher mathe-
matics.

The greatest attribute Of a Chi
nese general is considered to be his
strategy. He is worth nothing if
he fails to lead his enemy into
making a false step. The hero of
the hour on this account is a gen.
eral who led a body Of troops against
a walled city held by the insurgents.
He besieged them, andin due course
of time they pleaded for terms.
llaudable promises were made by
the dozens, the sine qua non being
they should lay down their arms.
This was done, when, the generals
dispatches inform us, they were
Immediately massaered as fast as
it was possible to do so, but the
leader was "put to death by the
extreme torture" This consisted
in winding a wire very tightly
about tho entire head and body to
the feet, intervals of an inch being
left between each turn. This
brought the flesh into wales, which
were quickly and nicely sliced off
by keen knives. The scene ended
by decapitating the still living
skeleton. A very great deal Of
evidence in criminal cases is elicit
