Danger from Lubricating Oils.

From paper read by Prof. John T.
Ordway, at a recent meeting of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers Associ-
alton, it appears that many of the oils
used for lubricating machinery may be
classed as dangerous, because when
heated to a sufficient degree they throw
spect it is claimed that some of the ami
NAL and vegetable oils are even more
hazardous than those which are par
italy mixed with earth oils, and that
the higher price of an oil is by no means
a guarantee of its safety. An account
was given of fire last summer in the
Bates Mills, Lewiston, Me-, at which
the flames, on reaching the weaving
room, shot across it in all directions on
level of about five feet from the floor,
and with sufficient heat to melt the lead
connections to gas meter located on
the same plane of height-frOm which
the gas had fortunately been shut Off
while towel hanging two feet below
this level was not so much as scorched.
This was thought to show that there
was body of infammable vapor hang
ing in the air, cast off by the oil used
on the machinery. Apart from the dan
ger of fire, the transformation of oil in
to vapor is waste of material which
every manufacturer would gladly pre-
vent, and it will therefore be Of interest
to all who have TO use lubricating oils
to know that experiments are to be
made for the purpose of finding out
some ready and simple means OF testing
the evaporating properties OF oils SO
that any one buying them can quickly
Judge of their qualities SeseHtvsc

A Presentiment of Death.

Ernest, bright boy of seven years,
oldest child of Mr.. Samuel Templeton,
gate-keeper on the Prairieville gravel
road, just below this city, met with an
accident on Thursday of last week which
resulted in his death soon afterward
About noon on that day he mounted a
wagon loaded with wood, with the inten-
ton of unloading it, The lad seized a
stick, and was in the act of throwing it
to the ground when he lost his equilib-
rum and fell, head foremost to the
earth. His cries brought his father to
house. The boy did not seem to be
much injured. He was conscious, eX-
planned to his father how he fell, pointed
out his bruises, and conversed rational
ly for an hour, when he suddenly lost
consciousness, and remained in that
condition until his death, which oc-
Cured about six hours after the acci-
dent.
The night preceding the above sad
accident, Mrs. Templeton, the mother
of the child, had a strange PRESENT.
ment of his death. Early in the even
ing, while the child was asleep, she ap-
preached his little bed, and, looking
earnestly into his face, burst into tears,
The grief with which she was over
come was intense and uncomfortable.
1t attracted her husbands attention,
who inquired into its cause. Samuel, -
| the weeping mother answered, 81
don't think we will ever raise this
child" - can see no cause for your
fears" replied the father, "the child is
as healthy as can be"
But this answer did not satisfy the
mother, for dark cloud hung over her.
Her heart beat rapidly and heavily
strange shadows crossed her vision; an
unseen grief oppressed her; the presage
of some horrible coming event cast q
burden on her soul she scarce could
bear.
At the usual hour the sobbing mother
retired, but her rest was uneasy. To
wards midnight she arose from her bed
and again sought the couch of her boy
who slept the deep, sweet sleep of in
nocent childhood, all unconscious of the
grief-stricken mother who bent ovel
him, bathing his face with tears anC
kisses.
Mr.. Templeton expostulated with hil
wife, and assured her that her fear,
were mere whim, and begged her Il
calm her grief and go to sleep. But nj
sleep came to that mothers relief tina
night, and day broke to bring her nj
respite from the sad burden her bleed
ing heart bore. The slightest unusua
noise about the house thrilled her will
evil forebodings, and thus the wear
hours dragged on until the foreshad
owed end came in the accident a
above related. Louisiana MO- Jour

Secretary Schurz, on the 9th, testified before
the joint commission considering the transfer
of the Indian Bureau to the military depart
ment. The Secretary disclaimed any personal
desire to retain control Of the Indian depart
ment; he thought the Indians entitled to
humane treatment and that could only
be rendered through processes of civil
ization, education and kind treat
ment; denied emphatically that a red
tape system OF reporting Indian outbreaks,
which had been asserted, was required under
the present administration of affairs; that
the demand for the transfer of the Bureau
from the civil to the military department was
based upon assumption rather than upon
facts did not believe such officers as Generals
Sherman and Sheridan and others desired
war, but subordlnates who had a reputation
to make were not so keen for peace, especial
ly with the Indian race; advised placing
troublesome Indians on a reservation under
martial law, and of increasing the number
of the Indian police from 450 to 1000
or 1,2OO. The Secretary cited instances
to prove that when the Indians were under
the control OF the War Department their con-
dition was not improved, mismanagement, un-
pardonable negligence and almost total want
of method prevailed; that the accounts Of
the expenditures were SO carelessly kept
as to furnish scarcely any traces of the
expenditure of large sums, and for several
years the entries were made in so slovenly a
manner that the very clerks themselves could
not explain them; there was not single EN-
try referring to Indian land, and all records
left by the Indian officers of the War Depart
ment were scraps Of memoranda, pencil notes,
etc. He read statement Of the amount paid
per 100 pounds for beef by the two depart
ments for the Indian Bureau and military,
which showed a saving of $644, 900 in favor of
the former, and that while the transportation
of the army cost $4OOO,OO the transporta-
tion Of food, clothing, ETC., for the Indians
only cost $225,00O

An Uncomfortable Bed-Fellow.

THE proverb that Misfortune makes
strange comrades" has seldom been
more aptly illustrated than by the ad-
venture of an English soldier in India,
who, having been caught in anything
but sober condition by his Colonel, a
rigid disciplinarian, was sent to pass
night in " "chokey y"-the lookup. AS
the culprit, sleepless from heat and
mosquitoes, was meditating dolefully
upon the further punishment that was
certain to await him next morning, he
suddenly heard rustling close beside
him, and felt the cold, Shiny touch of a
snake upon his bare foot. Being a man
of iron nerve, he contrived to restrain
the cry that rose to his lips, and to lie
motionless as log, while his horrible
bed-fellow, whom he instantly felt to
be of great size, crawled to and fro
over his body and face, as if to make
out who or what he might be. Having
at length satisfied itself that nothing was
to be feared from him, it glided off, and
esconced itself under the roll of mat
ting which served him as bed. With
the first CLEAN of daylight the prisoner
was astir, and having armed himself
with heavy stone, raised the mating
just sufficiently to let his unbidden
guest thrust out its head, which he
then crushed to pieces with stone. Al
that moment the door opened, and in
came the Junior Lieutenant, who, hav-
ing kindness for the delinquent, had
come to ''give him good talking to."
But the moment the officers eye fell on
the dead snake he rushed out again like
one possessed, returning few minutes
later with the Colonel and several other
officers. The old martinez, having
heard the story, said, with grim
chuckle, "This is lucky job for you,
my man, for meant to have given you
good flogging; but can't fog man
who has done such feat as that. Don't
let me catch you drunk again, and here
are five rupees for you" ($2.50.)-
