Vitality of a Sharks Heart.

The Providence Press tells this story,
appropos of shark story in Wide
AaOake, written by DIR. J. T. Payne /:
" He describes the capture of shark
and its dissection at sea, and says that
after the heart had been removed from
the body and placed upon the deck it
kept up its contractions for period of
twenty minutes or half an hour, Just the
same as when in place and performing
it's Office of pumping the blood to the
various parts of the body We, in
company with the late Surgeon Nc
Gregor, used to enjoy annually shark
fishing excursion. One season we rem
dezvoused at Edgartown, and fished for
the monster off 'Capoge.' We caught
among others fellow of splendid pluck
and proportions, and decided to dlssect
him. We landed him upon an old wharf
in Edgartown, about four o'clock in the
afternoon, and proceeded in true sur
geon's style. We opened him took out
his immense jaws, which, when opened,
passed over to the extreme of our shoul-
ders, and afterward found his heart ex-
panding and contracting as if in life,
though the body was devoid of blood.
We cut the heart out, placed it upon an
inverted iron try-kettle used by whalers,
and proceeded with our work. After we
had finished-it was nearly dark-we
took the jaw and the heart, the latter
still pumping, to our hotel. and placed
the latter upon a stone post, while we
went in and had our supper. We took
lantern with us and examined that
marvellous heart again. 1t was still con-
tracing, though feebly, and its last
quiver, about $50 o'clock, was merely a
spasm- DIR. Payne's story is not as
marvellous as ours, and we vouch for its
truthfulness.

Aerial Navigation.

Mr.. Brearey, secretary of the English
Aeronautical Society, called attention,
in n recent lecture, to some curions facts
which those who are seeking solutions OF
the flying machine problem might pro-
fitably bear in mind. He stated that
light as the atmosphere is in proportion
to the weight of water, the rarer me-
dium is capable of supporting creature
much heavier than itself, while water,
800 times heavier, only supported fish
of about equal weight, bulk for bulk.
Supposing fish bore the same proper
tional weight to its elemental medium as
a bird does to the atmosphere, it would
have to be made of something heavier
than platinum. AS it is, fish is really
a bird without wings.
He gave some curious comparisons
between different birds and insects as to
the surface they presented to the atmo-
sphere and their weight. Thus the gnat
was three million times less weight than
the Australian crane, but presented in
proportion one hundred and forty times
more surface to the air; and between
these two there were almost all gTada-
tions. In these investigations lay some
of the most hopeful facts which seemed
to render aerial navigation possible, and
if man could get sufficient surface he
could surely get sufficient machine
power for propulsion. 1t was not so
much a question of power as of the
right application of power. There was
also the question of balance. The man
ner in which bird kept its balance,
while its wings were being energeticaily
worked alternately above and below its
center of gravity, was marvellous. Mr..
Brearey thought that with the example
of the bicycle the question OF balance
would not present much difficulty.
He then touched on the application OF
steam to the navigation of the air. Until
lately it had been thought that this was
inadmissible as a motive power, because
of the cumbrous method of its genera
ton; but it had been declared that when
steam could be applied with a weigh
not exceeding twenty pounds per ho'
power, the problem would soQr
solved. This had been aocomp
and they would hope the profa
tiOn minht De true.

Somebody's Mother.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
Aud bent with the chill of the winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing ami waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
or human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom Of school let out,
Came the boys like a flock Of sheep.
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman 30 cid and gray,
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her.
SO meek 30 timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
AT last came one OF the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group;
He paused beside her. and whispered low,
"I1l help you across il you wish to CO."
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's ol !, and poor and slow;
"A1d hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother you understand,
I" II ever she's poor, and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
Aud somebody's mother" bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was: God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and joy!"

The Asiatic race loves monotony. The
London Spectator says that there are
artisan families in India and in Damascus
who have worked at the same work day
by day for 1000 years, peasant families
who have not only titled the same fields,
but have gone into them and left them
at the same hour, according to the
season, from a period of over 1880
years. They have no wish for change,
no ambition to do better, no inclination
TO roam, no sense of failure because they
are as their forefathers were aud as
their sons will be.

A Wick (England) fishing boat landed
fine conditioned halibut, weighing 1877
pounds, measuring six feet eight inches
in length, and about the same in girth.
On opening the fish its stomach was found
to contain a fine salmon in very good
condition, and which weighed 20 pounds.
The fisherman remarked that it was no
wonder the halibut looked so well, see
ing the sort of dinners he indulged in.

several other lost voices. .-NorristoDn

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Household Hints.

Make paste of soft soap and emery
for polishing steel.
A small quantity Of turpentine added
to stove blacking will make the stove
easier to polish.
To remove old putty from window
frames, pass red-hot poker slowly over
it, and it will come off easily.
A few drops of glycerine in bottle of
mucilage will cause the mucilage to ad-
here to glass when used upon labels.
A bottle of faxseed oil, chalk and
vinegar mixed to the consistency of
cream. should be kept in every house
for burns, scalds, etc.
To clean chromos, dampen linen
rag slightly and go over them gently.
If the varnish has become defaced, cover
with thin mastic varnish.
Quick k-silver beaten up with the white
of an egg, and applied with feather to
every crack and crevice of bedstead, is
the very best bug preventative.
To sew carpet-rags on a machine,
make the stitch short, run it obliquely
across the rags where they are to be
joined, and sew a good many before cut
ting the thread.
Alabaster is best cleaned by putting
it in pan of water and letting it soak
some hours until quite clean. Another
mode is to cover it with strong solu-
tion of soda.
There is no part of the year when cell
lars in which vegetables are stored need
ventilation oftener than the present.
If the cellars cannot be thoroughly
aired every day, the vegetables should
be removed.
Boil sweet or common potatoes till
well done, then mash or strain. To
each one and half pints add one pint
and half of milk, little melted but
ter, two eggs with sugar, salt, and nut
meg or lemon to flavor.
To clear cistern water, add two ounces
powdered alum and two ounces borax to
twenty-barrel cistern of rain-water
that is blackened or oily, and in few
water be clarified and fit for washing.
Borax is used in the washing, but it
is also used in starch. 1t stiffens the
starch, prevents the iron sticking, and
produces a finer finish. 1t should be
used by dissolving half tablespoonful
in little boiling water, and mixing it
with about three pints of the starch.
The way to clean feathers is to wash
them in lather, then rinse in cold
water, and then in water slightly blue,
and shake them until dry. If the hue
looks thready, damp it between the folds
of cloth and beat lightly, and clap it
between the hands till quite dry. It
improves them sometimes to hold them
in the steam of kettle.
In selecting -four first look to the
color. Ii it is white with a yellowish
straw-color tint, buy it. If it is white
with blush cast, or with black specks
in it, refuse it. Next examine its ad-
hesiveness-wet and knead little of it
between your fingers; if it works soft
and sticky, it is poor. Then throw n
little lump of dry -four against a smooth
surface if it falls like powder, it is bad.
Lastly, squeeze some of the flour tight
ly in your hand if it retains the shape
given by the pressure, that too is a good
sign. 1t is safe to buy -four that will
stand all these tests.

Profits of Good Feeding.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives the following details
of his experience on this subject: Last
fall had the offer of a COW on an old
debt, and hesitated some as to whether
had better lose the debt or take the COW,
as she was old and very thin, but finally
concluded to try and make something
out of her, though the chance looked
very small, and the boys made a good
deal of sport of her, and said l would
get nothing but her hide. She was far
row, and was not giving more than one
quart of milk night and MOI olning. /
took her to the farm and told my man to
do the best he could for her. He COM
meneed feeding her apples, and though
she gained steadily in milk, it was some
time before she improved much in APP
pearance; but after awhile the feed and
care began to tell on her, and in three
months she was in good condition, and
gave twelve quarts of milk daily. One
week brought from there nine pounds
of nice butter, which the woman assured
me was the product of nine days milk,
and at the same time sold two quarts of
milk daily, and used what they needed
in the family, consisting of herself and
husband. l expected to feed her we'll,
and turn out to grass to fatten, but she
proved so good for milk l concluded to
keep her another year. She has kept in
good order all summer, and gives about
as much milk as any of the COWS, but we
shall soon dry her off, as we expect to
have her for new milch COW this winter.
l also bought last fall flock of store
sheep, just as it was time to turn in for
winter, fed them till the 10th of March
on hay and oat screenings, and sold them

Buying Seeds.

Be careful in buying your seeds. A
German paper says that clover and
lucern are often mixed with small, arti-
ficially prepared and colored quartz
stones. For production of these quartz
granules there are special manufactures,
which accomplish their task so we'll that
even a practiced eye would have Difficult
ty in detecting the fraud. Old seeds,
also, are colOred, sulphurized, oiled and
treated with various substances which
produce fresher and better appearance,
and are often even mixed to consider,
able extent with old seeG no longer capa-
ble of termination.

Burglary With Intent TO XIII.

Samuel w Davis Of Brewer, entered
the house OF Alexander Mcintosh 1t West
GreatWolks between the hours Of ana
: o'clock last evening, BY breaking n the
outside door Davis was iii search Of his
wife who was visiting at her sisters, Mrs
Mcintosh. He had previously threatened
her life and to escape the threatened
murderer, she had taken refuge with her
sister. Davis had learned of the where
abouts of his wife, and with murder in
his heart, prepared himself with a Rem
ington revolver and made the attack On
the house, revolver i'll hand, with every
chamber loaded. AS soon as he had gained
an entrance from the outside. he burst
open the sitting room door, and pointing
his revolver at Mrs. Mcintosh, demanded
his Wife. He was told that She was not
in the house he continued to utter
threats, saying he would have her life,
and bursting open another door searched
the house above and below, swearing he
would murder her if he found her. Dur

land, prescribes gargle of powdered sui

as he claims, but it will never become so
popular, nor create so many possible pa
tients, with that underlined longing and
far reaching anticipation which pertains
to the whskey and milk prescription so
