1 think half those priggish maxims
about human nature in the lump are no
more to be relied on than universal
remedies. There are different sorts of
human nature. Some are given to dis
content and longing, others to securing
and enjoying. And let me tell you the
discontented, longing style is unpleasant
to live with.

The Self. Propellinq Cdr.-The train.
car invented by NJ. Melarski has beer
still further experimental with, in
Paris, and 1t is said, with success. The
framing is supported on two axles,
rather near together, to facilitate the
passage around curves; and the body
contains seats for sixteen passengers,
while standing room is afforded for
fourteen more on the rear platform. In
front is another platform, of smaller
dimensions, for the driver.
Air-tight cylindrical reservoirs for
compressed air are connected together
by copper pipes, and are divided into
two series, the larger constituting the
principal motive agency, and the
smaller, of one-third the volume, con-
stituting the reserve.
On leaving the reservoirs, the COM
pressed air passes through column of
hot water, in which it becomes satura-
ted with steam at a high temperature I;
this water, which is introduced before
starting into the heating chamber at a
temperature of 33S to 1856, Fah.. gra1u-
ally parts with its heat during the jour-
ney, so that its temperature becomes
reduced to about 2l2 to 24S. at the end
Of the course. In the upper part of the
heating chamber, therefore, is contained
a mixture of air and steam, at the pres
sure of the reservoirs, as will be readily
understood.
Instead of discharging this gaseous
mixture directly into the working cy-
finders at pressure which is neces-
sarily variable and continually decreas-
ing, it is made to pass through special
appliance, by which the pressure IS
regulated automatically TO a given de-
gree, variable at the will of the driver,
notwithstanding the variations of pres
sure in the reservoirs. On leaving the
regulator, the gaseous mixture enters
the cylinders, where it acts upon pis-
tons similar to those of a locomotive,
and with all necessary efficiency for the
purpose.

How TO Cook CoRNED BEEF.-The
Boston Journal Of Chemistry says: "Don't
boil it, for corned beef should never be
boiled. 1t should only simmer, being
placed on part of the range or stove
where this process may go on uninter-
ruptedly from four to six hours, accord
ing to the size of the piece. If 1t is to
be served, let the meat remain in the
liquor until cold. Tough meat can be
made tender by letting it remain in the
liquor until the next day, and bring
ing it to the boiling point just before
serving"

SHE Cor MAD.-A tall woman with
sharp nose was raking up q yard on
Masonic street one day last week. She
had her dress tucked up, ridiculous
handkerchief tied over her head, and
looked like a fright generally. A cross
eyed man, dressed in suit OF light
clothes, came up the street, and, noticing
the woman, leaned over the fence and
remarked:
"How sweet is the rosy-posy!
"Eh! what's that?" exclaimed the
tall woman, looking up.
''How charming appears the lovely
popsy-wopsy with itsdress turned up!'
replied the cross-eyed man.
"Who're you talking to, any way!'
said the tall woman, in great surprise,
and turning red in the face.
''My own ducky-lucky is exquisitely
transcendental with the handkerchief, "
observed the cross-eyed man, winking
mysteriously with his straight eye.
"It's my opinion you're drunk, ex-
claimed the tall woman, in a rage I;
"clear out, or I'll call the police"
"And would my sweet cherry blossom
set the wicked police on her lovey-
povey?" said the cross-eyed man.
"Clear out, you great overgrown
windmilln' screamed the tall woman,
wrathfully, cor I'll claw you with this
rake"
"Would my pinkey-winkey claw her
darling tOotsey -pootsey with krewel
rake" continued the cross-eyed man; !;
al never thought"
Here the tall woman threw down her
rake in a great passion and rushed into
the house, slamming the door so hard
that it broke the knob. And the cross
eyed man moved off, softly muttering:
"What a dreadful temper some
looking women have "'-Rockldnd

THEY had strike up at Mr.. Middle
ribs the other night. The baby struck
for six hours walking every night, in
stead of four, which it has been getting.
The family at first refused to accede to
this preposterous and unreasonable de-
mand, but the baby being monopoly,
there being no others to supply the
place of the strikers, it was able to en-
force its demands, as all sleep was shut
of until a settlement was effected. The
only show of violence was the threat,
on the part of the baby, to make it warm

How TO KEEP CoOL.-We read in a
scientific journal: "There is a method
which have adopted in my own house
to cool the temperature of any room
during hot weather, and that is, to hang
a sheet or a blanket down outside win
dows upon which the sun may be
shining. This sheet is wet, and the
evaporation of the water produces q
deliciously cool apartment. The sheet
Is kept damp by having vessel filled
with water above the top of it outside,
and piece of flannel arranged to form
siphon, and touching several portions
of the sheet. The water gradually
empties out of the vessel, and may be
replenished if necessary. The window,
is, of course, open. 1t Is strange that
so simple and inexpensive method has
not found favor here, more especially
in sick rooms, a cylindrical-shaped tin
vessel, with some very fine holes, fixed
over the window, would easily supply
the water"

CURE FOR PRIcKLY HEAr.-A naval
surgeon writes to the Lancet. "I should
like 10 bring before the section of the
profession practicing in tropical eli
mates the following powder as cure
for that troublesome skin disease,
'prickly heat" used to suffer myself
dreadfully, and tried all the supposed
remedies without deriving any apparent
good. Some, as carbolic acid, appeared
to produce intolerable itching at night.
Lately have seen ths local application
of sulphate of copper recommended.
The powder has the following percent
age composition: Sulphur sub, 80;
magnesia oxidi, Is; zinci oxidi, 5. To
be used morning and evening in the
following way: The dry powder being
on plate, wet sponge is pressed down
on it and certain quantity will ad
here; this is firmly rubbed on the parts
affected, fresh moisture and powder
being from time to time supplied, the
application being continued ten to
fifteen minutes each sitting. The parts
are then washed clean of the adhering
particles. / have never seen the worst
cases last beyond four or five days. So
complete would the cure be that it
would be impossible to say if the person
ever had the disease. No smarting at
tends its use, and after the first applica-
tion itching is practically at an end.
Also in that form of prickly heat resem-
bling urticaria il effects a perfect cure,
and the powder used once or twice a
week, as described, will keep the skin
in perfect condition."

HILLS AND DRAFT.-The amount of
draft required to move given load up
an incline of given number of feet to
the hundred, may be calculated, but it
will of course vary with the kind of
wagon and the condition of the road.
Where the road is rough or the wagon
out of order, the friction is very much
increased, and must be added TO the re-
sistance in estimating the force needed.
On good and well CREASED wagon, and
on a reasonably good road, one ton may
be taken up an incline of ten feet in one
hundred, with direct draft of two hun
dred pounds, or one-tenth of its weight.
Under similar circumstances, it may be
taken up an incline of five feet in the
hundred by a force of one hundred
pounds. In estimating the hindrance
in moving given weight for certain
distance il must be remembered that we
can only load to suit the steepest grade,
and no matter if the distance be twenty
miles, we cannot put on load heavier
than that suited to grade Of twenty
feet to the hundred if such a grade
exists on the road. An irregular sur
face does much to increase the draft.
Taking twenty-one hundred pounds as
our load, we find that on a smooth, steel
railway it may be moved by draft offs
pounds; on a well made pavement, by
80 pounds; on a road of small, broken
stone by 65 pounds; and on an ordinary
road by l47 pounds.

AGRICULTURAL.

LABELS FOR TREEs.-The Gernsantop,
Telegraph, whose horticultural editor
we have always regarded as first-clas'
authority, recommends the following
plan of labelling fruit and other trees
SIT is very nice to have all ones fruit
trees labeled, both for our own and
others satisfaction, and we should
adopt such material that it will re.
ceive the writing clearly and will last
for years. We have tried several, and
the one that we prefer is made of strips
of zinc, with a hole bored at one end
and fastened with copper wire. Some
pieces of zinc appear oily and will moi
receive either chemical ink or pencil
but all such should be scratched with a
fine file or anything that will roughen
it. Some of ours have been hanging
from fifteen to twenty years; but every
year they should be examined and
loosened if getting too tight upon the
branch where fastened: and sometimes
the wire will cut its way out of the eye
let and needs replacing. Another label,
highly recommended in the West, which
we have not tried, but we have no doubt
of its adaptedness, is to use cedar, rub
llnseed oil over II, and write the name
before it becomes dry, with soft black
lead pencil. If fastened with copper
wire it would certainly last for many
years. This label is easier made and
cheaper, and we recommend trial OF
it."
The only objection we note to this
plan is that the duty of loOsening the
wires is one which is very apt to be neg
lected. Ii will be safer to have the zinc
in longer strips so that the unmarked
part may be coiled several times around
one of the smaller limbs; then as the
branch increases in size the coil will ex-
pand, and allow the increase of several
years growth. A strip of zinc six to
eight inches long and one inch wide
will make two labels, which should be
one inch wide at one end, and tapering
nearly to point at the other; the mar
row end may be coiled around the limb
