Learn Your Business Thoroughly.

The great army of the incapables"

being remembered, which Daniel Web

Plus IX.,S Love OF Music.

A contributor of the Montreal "Ga-
zette" has the following:
It is perhaps not we'll known that
Plus IL. is very fine musician. Asa
young man he cultivated his taste iCr
music very assiduously, and his yoicss
was magnificent. Even no1S it is very
sweet and powerful, and when his ho-
mess sings at the high mass all who
hear him are struck by the superb man
ner IN which he executes the difficult
Gregorian chant. The Pope has al
ways been distinguished patron of
music, which, however, has sadly dete-
riorated of late. Recently he met Cap
poci, tbs great composer of sacred
music and leader of the choir of the
Vatican. His holiness congratulated
the maestro. and. taking valuable
ring from his finger, presented it to
him. At the same time lie ordered that
the name of Cappoci should be added
to the list of knights of the Grand
Order St. Gregory the Great. Rossini
was an intimate friend of Plus TX. and
dedicated to him q march which bears
his name. Gounod has also been fire.
quently received by him, and he has
given him several notable decorations.
When the famous prima donna, Char
fotta Marchislo, died, the Pope ordered
that the members of his special choir
should sing at the funeral mass said for
her eternal repose.

1t is only of late years that pemmican
has come into public notice as con-
denSed food valuable to the commiSsa-
riat upon long expeditions. Hitherto
it has been provision peculiar to Brit
ish America, and particularly to the
service Of the Hudson's Bay Company.
Notwithstanding the vast annual
slaughter OF buffaloes south of the for
ty-ninth parallel, no pemmican is made
there; tie meat being used in the fresh
or green state, or in the form of jerked
beef. The pemmican of the English
Arctic expeditions differs from the real
article i'll being made Of beef mixed
with raisins and spices, and preserved
from decay by being hermetically seal
ed, Buffalo Pemmican may be said to
keep itself, requiring no spices or sea-
soning for its preservation, and may lie
kept in any vessel and under any condi-
tions, except that Of dampness, for un-
limited time. 1t is one of the most
perfect forms of condensed food known,
and is excelled by no other provision in
its satisfying quality. The amount of
it used throughout the territory is al
most incredible, as, beside the enor-
nous quantity consumed i'll the compa-
ny's service, it appears, when attaina-
ble, upon the table of every half-breed
in the country. So essential is it to
the wants of the roydgeurs, as the staple
article of food upon the long voyages
made i'll the transportation service of
the Fur Company, thatits manufacture
is stimulated in every way by the
agents of that corporation, and every
available pound is bought up for its
use.

when tbs sky is bathed in blue-speckled
blue-nature may be said to be in its

that Nature is generally admitted to

At Smethwick, near Birmingham,
there is q factory, which, with its clever
mechanical contriyances, is something
to wonder at. All the sizes of screws
used i'll carpentry and cabinet making
are made of iron Wiro chopped into
lengths, and shaped in series of sell
acting machines. A blow on one end
forms a head, which is speedily turned
true IN a revolving chuck, the nick is
cut by a small circular saw, revolv-
ing jaw then seizes the head, and the
worm" or screw is turned in a twink
ling; and in this way half a million
screws an hour are produced. This
seems almost incredible; but the screw
ing shed alone covers nearly an acre
and half, and contains two thousand
machines. These being self-aeting.
five or six can be kept going by one
woman.

Water Proof BlackIlg,

The following recipe for making a
waterproof backing comes to Us high
ly recommended: Dissolve one ounce
OF boraX in water, and in this dissolve
gum shellac, until it is the consistency
of thin paste; add lampblack TO color,
This makes 3 cheap and excellent
blacking for boots, giving them the pol
ish Of new leather. The shellac makes
the boots or shoes almost entirely wa
ter-proof. Camphor dissolved in alco-
hol, added to the blacking, makes the
leather more pliable, and keeps it from
cracking. This is sold at Gfty cents
for small bottle. by making it your

Russian EditOrs.

Russian newspapers are conducted on
an economical basis, and the publish
ers tell no lies. The Moscow Teatrait-
naia-Gazeta recently incurred the dis
pleasure Of the government, and an Off
Ger OF the Press Bureau was sent to the
office to arrest the proprietors. The
only person in the establishment was
the publisher, and he was sternly sum-
moned to fetch the editor. The pub
Usher went up stairs and returned
speedily with large pair of scissors,
saying, Here, SIT, is the editor" The
officer was rather disconnected, but soon
recovered himself, and exclaimed more
sternly than ever, No nonsensel fetch
me the sub-editor." Again the pub
Usher departed, and again returned,
this time with a pot of paste and a
brush. These, sir" lie said. ''are the
sub-editors,"

A new use has b8en found for the
telephone. Since it was introduced
into several mines for the purpose Of
communication between the men at
work below the surface and the Offices
OF the companies above ground, it has
occurred 10 somebody connected with
one OF the mines that it could be used
to advantage in indicating the ventila=
ton of the mines themselves. The cir
culation OF air in the mines is shown
by the thermometer which is situated
below. The miners have fallen into
the way Of being careless as to the ven-
tiIation. But now it has been found
possible, by attaching the telephone TO
the anemometec below, TO indicate the
how of air in the mine in the Office Of
the company above. It is proposed
shortly 10 try experiments 10 see wheth-
er the telephone can be made available
IN divers operations. 1t is believed
that Tie instrument may be attached to
the armor of divers, and be made aper-
feet means OF communicate, nuetween

Care of House Plants.

One reason why so many people have poor
success with plants is that different flowers
require different temperature, while they
are generally kept in one room, and that the
room most used in the house. Roses, carna-
tiOns, &C., do best in temperature of from
ifty-Gve to sixty degrees. Begonias callas,
ivies, and water-plants generally do best when
the heat is as high as seventy degrees. A
room where flowers are kept should always
have bare floor, or an oil-cloth covering at
most, as dust is injurious to all plants and
death to many delicate varieties. The great
est enemy Of flowers is hot, dry atmosphere.
Have an open stove, with plenty Of water
always on 1t; in short, ovaporats all the water
you can. Sprinkle the bare floor or oil cloth
beneath the plants every day with
the watering-pot as regularly as you
do the plants themselves. Flowers want
all the sun and light they en- get
in winter, as well as plenty of moisture. II
in small pots, or growing fast, they will re-
qure more water. Small pots absorb the little
moisture In the small amount Of soil they have
very soon. Some flowers take up much moro
water than others, as, for instance, tho cactus
can scarcely be kept too dry nor the ivy too
wet. Keep your pots in boxes of wet sand IL
you can. 1t is good plan to set the pots in
n tub of moderately warm water for few
minutes every day. Never use perfectly
| cold water on plants A few drops of am
monia in the water occasionally is good, but .
little very weak manure water is better. In
potting plants use light soil. Prepared dirt
| from the florists is best. some persons use
| the black dirt from wOod-shcd, but In doing
this take care not to got any small pieces OF
wood or bark, US they will make thu
dirt sour and breed those tiny whita
lice that soon work ruin TO the most hardy
growth. Remember that small pots make
quick bloom" Give your plants fresh soil
often, and keep them in as small pots as possi'

A simple Mode Of ventIIatlng Rooms.


I A very satisfactory plan for the ventilation
Of rooms that are much used in cold weather
may be pursued as follows: 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 q piece Of ordinary
"weather.strip," so that there will be formed
an air.tght joint between the weather-strip
and the lower sash of tho 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 or tho "weathor-strip"
as the sash rises. With this simple fixture in
place, the lower sash may be raised
enough to admit stream Of air
between the lower and upper 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 toward the cell.
the upper part of the room. The room II
thereby ventilated in thorough and agroe-
able manner, without drafts Of cold air upon
the persons in the room. The fixture should
he applied to several windows in an apartment,
IL you are so fortunate as to have plenty OF
eyes" In your house, or to those of commu-
| ncating rooms. The amount of ventilation
| may be regulated by the distance that tho
lower sash is raised. This arrangement Is
cheap, simple, and effective. The fact is apt
| to be lost sight of that human beings require
just as much pure air in extreme cold weather
as in midsummer, and thousands annually die
| for lack of 1t.
