L0ngfell0W'S Home.

Mr.. Longfcllow's house at Cambridge,
says Scribner, is one OF the few American
houses to which pilgrimages will be made
In the future. 1t was surrounded with
historic associations before he entered it,
and Is now surrounded with poetic ones,-
a double halo encircling its time-honOred
walls. tits supposed to have been built
in the first half of the last century by
Colouel John Eassol, who died in 1774.
and whose ashes repose in the church.
yard at Cambridge under freestone tab
let, on which are sculptured the words
FaS-s0l, and the emblems a goblet and
sun. He left a son John. who lived into
Revolutionary times, and was royalist,
as many of the rich colonists We're. The
house passed from his hands for a suitable
consideration, let US hope) and came into
the hands Of the provincial government,
who allotted 1t to General Washington as
his headquarters after the battle OF Bun
ker Hill. Its next occupant was a GER
tain Mr.. Thomas Tracy, of whom tradi-
ton says he was very rich, and that his
servants drank his costly wines from
carved pitchers. He appears to have sent
out privateerS to scour the seas in the East
and West Indies, and TO worry the COM
merce Of England and Spain; though why
he should induce the galleons OF Spain
in his free-booting voyages is not clear.
He failed one day and the hundred guests
who had been accustomed to sit down at
the banquets Of Vassol house, were COM
| PEELED to find another host. Bankrupt
| Tracy was succeeded by Andrew Craigie,
| apothecary-generalo of the northern prov
/ incial army, who amassed a fortune in
| that office, which fortune took TO itself
| wings, though not before it had enlarged
Fassol house, and built a bridge over the
Charles River connecting Cambridge with
Boston and still bearing his name.
In the summer Of 1897, a studious
young gentleman of thirty might have
| shaded path which led to the Craigie
house. He lifted the huge knocker, which
! fell with a braZen clang, and inquired for
Mrs. Craigic. The parlor door was thrown
open, and tall, erect figure, crowned
with turban, stood before him. 1t was
/ the relict OF Andrew Craigie, whilom
apothecary-general of the dead and gone
northern provincial army. The young
gentleman inquired if there was a room
| vacant liz her house.
Il lodge students no longer" she an
swered gravely.
sBut | am not a student" he remarked.
II am professor in the University.n
"a professor!7 she inquired, as if she
associated learning with age.
"Professor Longlellow,' said the would
be lodger.
'Ah! that is different. will show you
what there is"
She then proceeded to show him several
rooms, saying as she closed the door OF
each, "You cannot have that" At last
she opened the door Of the southeast cor
ner room Of the second story, and said
that he could have it. 'Tilis was General
Washington's chamber" So Professor
LongtelIOW became a resident Of this old
historic house, which had been occupied
before him hy Edward Everett and Jared
Sparks, and which was occupied with
him by Joseph E. Worcester, the lezico-
grapher. Truly, his lines had fallen in
pleasant places.

P0puia ton of China.

\ leading and educated Chinaman,
kwang Chang Ling, is writing letters to
California journals; in which he tells US
much about China that we have not hith-
erto known. For instance, that the pop
ulation is only 100000, 900 or 120, ,000,0OO
instead OF 450,000,000, as generally re-
ported; that the country has reached the
limit OF agricultural development; that
the population and prosperity have been
decreasing since 1761; that unless i'm
proved machinery and methods adopted
from the Western countries, the people
will not be able to support themselves,
since they are already as poor as possible
and live; that the wealth Of the Empire
Is III the hands OF the few, and that with
q diminishing population and increasing
wages at home, there can be no great tide
OF immigration to this country, so Ameri-
cans need have no fear.

Growing C;iestnuts.

We have on repeeted occasions suggest
cd the growing Of chestnuts upon soils
where but little else viii grow, as a means
OF profit, both in fruit and wood. The
chestnut is rapid in its growth, and viii in
from eight to ten years begin to bear a
crop Of nuts from seed. The seed, how
ever, should be planted as soon us the
fruit is ripe and before it becomes dry,
and should be planted where the tree is de-
sired to stand. Chestnut will thrive al
most anywhere, and would be especially
valuable where timber is scarce and rough
land abounds to appropriate to the pur-
pose. A good selection Of the American
chestnut is the best. Our nuts are much
superior to the Spanish, French, or Italian,
though not nearly so large, and even gratis
can be set with ease and certainty of
the pear. There is always market demand
for the nuts greater than the supply, or
any supply likely TO be furnished.
The question is one of real interest in
every section where scrub land is abund-
ant and timber scarce; or wherever there
is such land, rs means Of profit with ref
erence only to the fruit.

Curious Art Collection.

In narrow street close to Bedford low.
says the London Builder, many passer-
by has observed an old fashioned shop
with many choice engravings in the win
dow, whose owner has been absent for the
past twelve years. The same choice prints
have remained in the window. AS an an
swer was required for repeated inquiries,
all were told, Nothing will be sold until
the owner returns" The collectors OF
prints whose homes were on the other
side OF the Atlantic, finding that there
were prints in this collection that thev
coveted, took the long journey across in
the hope Of acquiring them, but without
success. The same answer met their in
quiries. 4 wealthy man in London sent
10000 for two paintings in the collec-
ton. That was refused Other pictures
equally valuable are there-rarc works.

The Secret OF Soap ard Water.

Hitherto no satisfactory reason has been
given why for cleansing purposes the
comparatively neutral soap should be bet
ter than the alkaline carbonate. In a
note On the pedetic action Of soap, Prof
W. Stanley Ievons offers u plausible solu-
ton Of the mystery. He finds by expert
ment that pedesis, or the so-called brown
ian movement of microscopic particles, is
considerably increased by the addition of
soapto water, and to this action he attrib-
utes the detergent effect OF soap. Pure rain
or distilled water has high cleansing
power, because it produces .pedesis III a
high degree, tie minute particles OF dirt
being thereby lOosened and washed away.
The hardness Of impure water arises from
the vast decrease Of pedesis due to to the
salts in solution: hence the inferior cleans
ing power Of such water. Ii alkaline
salts be added, dissolved in water. it be-
comes Of acting upon oleaginous matter,
but the pedetic action is lessened or in
creased. Bnt if soap be added we have
the advantage both Of the alilalis dissolv-
ing power and the pedctic cleansing power.
For the same reason silicate OF soda is a
powerful cleanser, it being one of the few
substances which increase the 'pcdetic and
suspensiye power of water.

A New Process with Coffee.

4 German has just discovered a process
which he has patented, and by which he
claims to be able to preserve coffee in all
its perfection, and at the same time to
render it more portable and unalterable
for a length of time. To effect his object
he subjects the freshly-roasted and ground
coffee to pressure of from forty to sew
enty atmospheres (thirty-three pounds to
the square inch each) in suitable cast
iron molds. The coffee is thus made into
cakes, and comes into the market in a
form resembling chocolate, divided like
the latter by lines, to facilitate breaking
into pieces of suitable size for use. The
interior surface of the mold is highly pol
ished, by which means the outer crust of
the compressed coffee is made sufficiently
smooth and hard to prevent the tendency
of the ethereal oil Of the berry to escape
from the interior of the cakes. The vol
ume of the coffee thus prepared is re-
duced to less than one-third Of that of the
original. The inventor claims that the
operation does not in the least affect the
good qualities Of the article, and that it
can be packed and transported in tin-foil,
or otherwise, preserving its aroma indet-
initely.

DeadWOGd.

Deadwood has now population of
1000, and is the commercial centre of the
Black Hills region. 1t has rude theatres,
dance houses, gambling hells, and un-
counted bar-rooms yet a recent visitor
says there is far less rulfianism than might
fairly be expected in a new mining place.
There are banks, churches, a school house
a newspaper, and good hotels. Many
lawyers get a good income opt of the ex-
tensive litigation over the titles to mines.
Deadwood is in an irregular gulch, has
already outgrown its space, and begins to
climb the precipitOus sides Of the hills by
which 1t is enclosed. White cottages,
approached by winding paths and steps,
stand hundreds of feet above the level Of
the town. Under Deadwood proper there
is another city-the city of the miners.
Openings to the tunnels and shafts are
seen at various places throughout the
upper town. In the tunnels and shafts
the placer miner digs cut the yellow
earth, and sluices it for the crumbs of
gold that, during the long ages, have been
slowly escaping from the quartz lodes in
the hills. But capitalists have taken hold
Of the mining business of the Black Hills,
and many quartz mills of the best class
are running. The truth about the Weld
Of gold is hard to find out, because the
owners of rich mines seek to depreciate
values, and the owners Of worthless mines
have contrary intention.

Heat and Light i'm the Sick Room.
A recent writer gives the following SEN

A recent writer gives the following SEN
sible suggestions on this subject:
Each person in room should be sup
piled with 5000 cubic feet OF air per hour;
and this should be done, where possible,
without creating percepuble draft, Tor
the nervous irIiation induced by drafts Is
liable to produce internal intlammauons.
The temperature of the sick room should
be kept at a uniform height, the best av-
erage being from 90 TO 40 degrees Fab,
except for infants or very old people, who
require a temperature from 75 10 so deg.
Fab; and for these it is especially import
ant to guard against changes, and to keep
it as uniform as possible. All cases of
fever require a temperature lower than
the average, as from 80 TO 90 degrees T.,
TO assist III reducing the high temperature
OF the body; but when the fever subsidies,
and there is much debility remaining, the
temperature should be raised somewhat
above the average.
As patient can bear a greater degree
of cold when in bed than when out OF it,
convalescents from severe disease, tevers
especially, should have the temperature
OF their rooms higher than that maintain
ed during the height of the attack. Dis
eases of the air passages, as Group and
diptheria, require high temperature go
degrees to So degrees FahrenheiO and
moist atmosphere. The best method for
heating the sick room is by the open CRATE
fire. The sick room should not be dark
ened by blinds, except where there is
disease Of the eyes, with photophobia, or
when the patient is very restless and can
not sleep; then strong light must be ex-
cluded. Otherwise the sunlight should be
allowed to enter and act chemically by
decomp posing the noxious gases, and thus
purify the air. OF course it is not advis-
able to place the patient under strong
uncomfortable glare Of sunlight, nor in
summer to allow the suns rays to shine
into theroom and raise the temperature too
high Artificial light has no useful effect
but does harm by burning up oxygen.

Labor and Living.

If the complaints we hear about labor
mean TO convey the idea that labor is to
be got rid of, then we may be certain that
they will prove Of no effect. For work is
the common lot of man. We are happier
when we are employed, and especially
when employed upon worthy objects and
ends. To produce, to wiring support out
of the closed hand Of Nature, is the con-
dition Of existence itself 1t may seem
hard, but it is through discipline that we
should never choose for ourselves, that
we gain strength and confidence and
power. This dissatisfaction with labor is
no good symptom. The problem for So
ciety to solve is, how much labor should
be submitted to, and when leisure shall
begin. Saving is the objective point Of
labor. We work, consciously and uncon-
sciously, in order to gain time, that we
may put it to still higher uses. The
workingman who keeps that in view will
always know why he has to be indust-
| rious.
Men can subsist themselves in general
on much less than they do. With the
| enlargement and elevation Of the thought
| comes an improvement in the desires.
We care less for the qualification of the
senses, and think more of the liberty of
the higher portion Of the being. Labor
is for use only. In the first place, be-
fore we have got our bearings in life and
really understand what it is all about it
keeps us out Of the thousand forms of
mischief engendered by idleness. After
industry has confirmed our habits and
got US into shape for usefulness, we begin
to cast about to see how it can be applied
to the broadest and highest aims Work
has thus led us 10 reflection. 1t is then
that its sanitary juices begin to tell on
the health and growth of the being. The
farmer at the plow ard the mechanic. al
the bench is yet to see how work done bv
his hands is a minister to the noblest
evolution of all the faculties of his ma
ture.

TuitZ Wheat.

The Frltz wheat is the best variety now
in the market, and if properly farmed,
Will yield on an average equal to any
wheat in the country, says the American
Miller. Many farmers claim 40 bushels
per acre this season. 1t has a stiff straw.
and does not lose any grain in handling,
and when 1t IS cut Will lie compact and
take up less barn room than any other
variety OF wheat. 1t will weigh 81 lbs.
per bushel if clean; it always sells readily
for the highest price, and the flour manu-
featured from it has no superior. The
farmers have it in their power to have the
best wheat in the country, and always
find ready sale; and why will they per
sist in spreading worthless variety that
will not benefit them in the least. Farm
eCs, take warning.
