RED-HOT.-DoUB IN q Siluer Mine, Un-
derneab the Ground.-Those who have
never personally inspected the lower
levels of our mines may obtain some idea
of the degree of heat to be found therein
by visiting the Savage works at the change
of shifts. The men packed together as
close as they can stand on the cage-are
popped up out of the shaft, all steaming
hot, for all the world like bunch of
asparagus just lifted from the pot, They
make their appearance in cloud Of steam
that pours up continually from the depths
profound" and are dimly seen until they
step forth upon the floor of the works.
As the men land and separate each carries
with him for half minute his little pri.
vate cloud of vapor. As this passes of
the man is seen to be naked from waist up,
his skin as wet as though he had Just been
lifted out of Il pool water. The men
bring up with them, besides the steam
an amonnt of heat that can be felt by the
spectator AS they pass. All this ut the top
of the shaft, where it is considered quite
cool-what, then, must it be hundreds of
feet below, where the men started from -
down where the water stands one hundred
and tifty-seven degrees Fahrenheit Down
there no steam is SCENT is too hot for it.
1t Is only when the hot, moist air, COM
ing up from the lower regions. strikes the
cool air at the top of the shaft that it takes
the form of steam Down there where
the men come from you must keep your
hands off the pump column and the pipes.
and if you pick up an iron tool you will at
once put it down without being told to do
so. Down there they handle things with
gloves on, or wrap rags around tile drills
they are guiding and iron apparatus they
are moviuL, and down there, too, you
will learn to keep your mouth shut after
you have drawn few mouthfuls of hot
air into your lungs. PerSpire9 1t is no
name for it. You are like u sponge that is
being squeezed.
You are ready to believe that YOU have
ten million pores to every square inch of

down Your throat-you keep going for it,
and thus in short time find out what be-
comes of the IONS and tons of ice that are
daily consumed in the mines. Remain be-
low among the miners for an hour or two,
and when you are finally popped out at
the top of the shaft, all red-hot and steam

you will appreciate the beauty, the light

HEARTHsTONE CONCERT. Our sitting
room has an open soapstone Fireplace pro-
jecting into the room, with ventila-
tors at the bottom OF each side-piece COM
muncating with the chimney. During
the early autumn wood is kept in the fire
place ready for lighting. About the middle
of September, while quietly sitting in the
room one evening, | heard among the
wood low singing noise like the first at
tempt of II young canary Making sure
that the noise came from the fireplace, Il
kindled fire to drive out what | supposed
to be nest of young mice. Two mice ran
into the room and. escaped through the
ventilators. Mice are extremely fond of
canary seed, and these had evidently been
attracted by waste seed had thrown into
the Fireplace. Afterward two mice, ap-
parently the ones which had escaped
through the ventllators, came out every
evening about eight o'clock, to eat the
seed had scattered about for them. My
husband and had heard the singing
many times in the fireplace. On the eve-
ming of September 9th. the smaller of the
two mice put its head out of the yentilator
and sat singing very softly. In II moment
OF two it came boldly out where l plainly
saw it and sang for three or four minutes.

movement of the throat, ms | was looking
down upon it; but the little creature
moved its head from side to side as | have

attempting to sing. | am inclined to think
these mice have caught some Of the notes
of our young birds, as the resemblance is

Jennie June, under which name Mrs
Croly dlscourses pleasantly on the fashions
that pass away, and on some that are i'm
perishable, gives it rs her opinion that the
only obstacle that stands between the
American woman and perfect health AMI
happiness is the size of her shoe. That a
man is in his hearty prime at forty-hye
when his wife is faded, and done with gay
ETY.; that the photographs of the married
pair ut their silver wedding, compared
with the daguerreotypes Of the bride and
groom taken twenty-five year ago, show
he has gained in good looks and she has
lost hers. is directly due. she argues, to
the difference Of their soes during that
period of time. So long as large shoes
mean plenty of outdoor exercise, and neilh-
er cramp nor nerdous strain in walking,
the smaller number twos determine the and
haltng, tottering gait, with painful con-
seriousness of every step, or the alterna-
tives of much c:sr-riding or staying ut
home. Mrs. Croly is right thus far. Men
that is, some Of them-keep their physi-
cal and mental tone by the out-of door ell
ement, that gives elasticity and tirmness
to their habit of body and mind. They can
put on their hats and be off when the no
tion takes them to 60, but the most unham-
pered woman has certain toilet processes
that demand the preparation of from ten
minutes to halt an hour, for the smallest
errand down the street. 1t is not altogether
Il question of shoes, but Il question OF hats,
wraps, ct cetera, that consumes much
time but when she does take her walks
she ought to be able to go and not hobble
TO walk and not creep.

CONCERNING RIGHT THGNKNG.--A
great deal is said about right actions and
wrong actions, and great deal of time
and labor is given to the forming of right
habits of action and the correction of
wrong habits of action. All this is well,
but if we would lay the AK ut the root
of the tree" and do away with all wrong
action by doing away with all wrong
thinking, our course would he far more
logical and fur more successful. Thought
is the fountain of action. The essence of
murder is malicious intent. the essence of
marriage is consent, and so of all actions,
the moral and essential quality is in the
thought that gives birth 10 the action.
The general tenor of u mans life will be
as is the general tenor of his thought. If,
like Vanderbilt, he loves money and
dwels on ways of making money, his
life will be spent in money getting. If,
like Byron, be delights in thinking Of SEN
suous pleasures, his life will tend toward
voluptuousness. Ii, like Sumner, he loves
learning, and delights in the acquisition
of knowledge, he will accumulate books
and haunt libraries, and cultivate the soci
ETY. of educated men. If, like Howard,
he is given TO thoughts of benevolenct
and charity, his life will be one of benev'
olence. LAS u man thnketh in his heart
SO is he."-M !. Tribune.

The End of "Great Men,

hastily glanced over their several histories.
Alexander, after having climbed the diz.

of countless millions, looked down upon Il
conquered world and wept that there was
not another world for him to conquer, set

and stripped three bushels of golden rings

and made her foundations quake fled
from his country, being hated by those
who once exultngly united his name to
that of their God and called him Hani-
Baal and died at last by poison admins
tered by his own hand unlamented and

Cesar after having conquered eight hun
dred cities and dyed his garments in the
blood of one million of foes-after having
pursued to death the only rival he had on
earth, was miserably assassinated by those

that very place the attainment of which
had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings and
popes obeyed, after having filled the earth
with the terror of his name, after haging
deluged Europe with tears and blood, and
clothed the world in sackcoth, closed his
days in lonely banishment, almost literal
ly exiled from the woId. vet where he
could sometimes see his countrv's banner
waving er the deep, but which woud
not or could not bring him aid.
Thus those four men, who from the pc
culiar situations of their portraits, seemed
to stand as the representatives of all those
whom the world calls great those four
who each in turn made the earth tremble
to its very center by their simple tread,
severally died-one by intoxication, or as
some suppose by poison mingled in his
wine; one suicide, one murdered by his
friends, and one in lonely exile. How

ANCIENT JEWISH SCIENCE. DR., Her.

the Talmud evidence that the ancient Jews
possessed Il number Of what are consider

Gamaiel, about the thirtieth year of the
common era, had sort of orrery in his
house. and it is clear from certain passages
that the astronomers of those days had an
instrument very closely resembling the
telescope. A passage in the Talmud says:
" Rabbi Gamaliel had II tube by means of
which he could see 2000 cubits by land and
air; also 20OO cubils By sea-" a knowl-
edge Of electricity is revealed by the state

had settled into Il perfect calm. Mrs. Hayes
entertaius her visitors in IN easy, cordial

grace, and scattering pleasant words.
