THE UNSEEN ARM.

An Englishman went into church
in Rome the other day, relates con
temporary, and as a service was going
on, he sat quietly down, placing his hat
on the ground beside him. After wait
ing a little while, and as there seemed
no immediate prospect of the ceremony
coming to an end, he thought he would
90, and reached for his hal, but was
stopped by an unseen arm which
grasped him from behind. Thinking
that probably some custodian of the
church wished him to remain till the
conclusion of the service, he again
waited. Presently he thought again OF
going, again reached for his hat, and
again the unseen hand firmly prevented
him. Convinced that the service was
some really important one which his
leaving would disturb, the Englishmah
again waited for quarter Of an hour
AT the expiration Of that time he de-
termined to depart in spite of etiquette;
so he again reached for his hat. Again
the hand grasped him, but, as he de-
terminedly resisted its retaining efforts,
a voice behind him exclaimed in Eng
lish, Il beg your pardon, but that is
my hat you are taking" And such
was the fact. The visitor had been de-
tanned all this while because each time
he wished to go he had reached in mis-
take for the hat of another stranger,
placed IN close proximity to his own

ROMANTIC FACT.

In one OF the incurSiOnS of Indians
upon our frontier settlements during
the Revolution, a very romantic Incl
dent occurred. The celebrated chief
Cornplanter made an attack upon the
neighborhood of fort Plain, burning
and destroying, and among the pris-
onerS he captured was one John Abel,
an old inhabitant The party had not
travelled but few miles on their
return, when it was discovered that
this Abel was almost as well ac-
quainted with their language as the
Indians themselves. This fact inter
ested the chief, and on inquiring of his
captive his name, Cornplanter knew at
once that he stood before his Olrl father
Abel, twenty-five years before, had
been a trader among the Indians of
western New York, and in one of his
visits became enamored of pretty
squaw, and the result OF this affection
was the grateful and celebrated warrior,
whom the father now fer the first time
saw standing before him The chief
had learned from his mother the history
of his parentage, and his fathers name
The meeting was certainly eXtraordi-
nary to a degree. The young chief
held out strong inducements to his
white father to accompany him to his
tribe, but paternal affection did not
seem so strong in the heart of A bell as
his love for the comforts and Injuries
of white mans home, and so he
choose rather to be set at liberty and
be returned to his friends. This was
yielded, and he was conducted i'll honor
back to the settlements. Thus singu-
larry met and parted thefather and son.

THINGS NOT TO Do.

Never believe, much less propagate,
an ill report of neighbor without good
evidence of its truth; never listen TO an
infamous story handed to you by a man
who is inimical to the person DETAINED,
or who is himself apt to defame his
neighbors, or who is wont to sow dis
cord among brethren and excite dis
turbance in society. Never utter the
evil which you know or suspect of an
other, till you have an opportunity to
expostulate with him. Never speak
evil of another while you are under the
influence Of envy and malevolence, but
wait till your spirits are cooled down,
that you may better judge whether to
utter or suppress the matter.

A portable railway track was recently
shipped by Messrs. Atkins Bros. of
Pottsville, Pa, to parties in New York
for the owner of one of the large sugar
plantations in Cuba 1t is Il miles
long, and is designed to be used in car
rying the cane to the mills instead of
by the old process of OK and mule carts.
The soil is very soft on these planta-
tions, and the quadrupeds make but
slow progress. This track, which con
tains over seven hundred pieces, is so
fitted that it can be laid and relaid at
any point necessary for use by the most
inexperienced, and is calculated to effect
great saving in labor.

Look After the Cellars

Many farmers use the cellars under
their dwellings as place to stow their
root crops, especially potatoes. bects,
turnips, celery and even cabbage. which
is not root. Ii is convenient to do so
where there is no barn-cellar or where
these vegetables are not buried upon
the premises. But it is a practice not
to be recommended, excep; the best
care is taken to keep the cellar clean
and well-ventlated Every day at
about noon. when the weather will adj
nit of it, the outer door should be
opened for an hour or so. and even
when the weather is extremely cold the
door should for that length Of time be
partly opened. The refuse of vcgcta-
bles also should be daily removed and
soon as the temperature shall rise sum
ciently to act upon il. The most danger
is in the spring when the milduess of
the weather outside finds its way into
the cellar, and operates, if the cellar is
not ventilated freely, in producing de
composition in some degree. There is
nothing that tends more directly to
produce the most deadly fevers than
filthy cellars. The poisonous gases
permeate the whole house And vet
how frequently do we see cellars left
untouched, With all their heaps Of
Vegetable refuse, until April and even
May.

Scientific.

British RailUay IrconUeniences. The
absurd practice of locking the passen-
gers fast in compartments on railway
cars has minor inconvenience as well
rs serious dangers. A part of the sys-
tenn consists in having no handles to the
doors on the inside. A writer to the
English Mechanic pl ads earnestly for
inside handles, chiefly because if they
were provided the windows would not
be so frequently opened as they have
to be now to reach the outside handles.
and consequently. there would be less
chance Of the cushions being wet by

little danger that children might turn
the inside handles and fall cut of the

lie has often been reproached with too
easy submission to inconvenience, but
there would be something near akin to
a riot on railway train carrying hui
man beings in this country if there
were no handles to the doors of a single
passenger car. Our improvements in
cars are constantly gaining wider rec
ognition. One Of the latest is method
Of heating a whole train through pipes
from stove in a baggage car, the pipes
being contrived so as to connect or dis
connectNfthoat special attention when
the cars are coupled or uncoupled,
while a universal Joint gives the requi-
site freedom of motion ats the point
where the pipes unite. The danger of
fire from stoves in cars may thus he re-
duced to a minimum. Perhaps the
ingenious inventor will devise an equal
iy effective mode of warming street ears
by pipes under the seats.-Hon Age.

Tic Proper Speed for Circular saws.

The Proper Speed for Circular SoDs.
The LumberDgGn'S 3 Gdzette says:
Nine thousand feet per minute-that
is nearly two miles per minute-for the
rim of a circular saw to travel may be
laid down as a rule. For example: A
saw, II inches in diameter, 3 feet around
the rim, 5000 revolutions "a inches in
diameter, or feet around the rim,
1900: 3 feet in diameter. or 8 feet
around the rim, 1000 revolutions 4 feet
in diameter, or IL feset around tbs, rim.
$50 revolutions 5 feet in diameter, or
Is feet around the rim, 600 revolutions.
The rim of the saw will run a little
faster than this reckoning on account
of the circumference being more than
three times as large as the diameter.
Single or some other saws, either riv-
eted to cast-iron collar or very thick
at the centre and thin at the rim, may
be run with safety at a greater speed.
