PLowING BY ELEcTRIcITY-At recent
meeting of the Paris Academy of Scien-
ces, NJ. Tresca gave an account OF some
which he witnessed at Sermaise, in the
Marine. A Gramme machine, making
1900 revolutions per minute, and driven
by steam engine, was connected to a
second Gramme at distance OF 440
yards, and caused the latter to revolve at
the rate of 1140 revolutions to the
minute, the electricity produced by the
first machine being thus converted into
work. The second machine was connect
ed to third at distance of 2l9 yards,
and these two worked cables attached to,
a double brabant plough. According to-
NJ. Tresca, the experiment was very sue
cessful, the work accomplished req resent
ing the equivalent of three horsepower,
while one-half of the motive power OBJ
tanned from the steam-engine was really
transferred to distance of more than
1000 yards from the furnace.

ANEcDoTE OF AN OLD RIVER GAMBLER
One time he was accused of swindling,
the charge being made in the heat of play
by man from whom Watts accomplice
had just won $4,000. "Is that your
opinion 2" he quietly asked. "Yes, sir
that's what I think" roared the loser ;
"vou swindled me, and stigmatized you
as scoundrel." The hour was late, and
only the watchman and party engaged
in playing heard the charge, but all OF
them drew back and held their breath,
for they were sure Jack would take life
to wipe out the insult. It is said that he
has done that thing. II will give you
5000 right here if you will not make that
opinion any further public" said Watts,
drawing forth his pocket-book. Nc, sir,
I do not want the money you cannot buy
my silence with money" Then Watts
smiled in his wicked way and held a
pistol in one hand and the money in the
other, and said quietly, as before My
friend for the suppression of your opinion
offered you $1,000. You refused. Now
offer you that amount of money and
your life. Do you accept? The man
looked into Jacks cold, steel gray eye
and what he read there was convincing.
He took his money and his life and kept
silent.-&. Paul Pioneer.

If the Republicans were ever
united on thomoney question, they
are united no longer. The propo-
sition to deprive the rccnbacks
of their legal tender quality has d.
vided them wonderfully. A few
stalwarts are consistent with their
former hard money prctonsions, and
demand tho wiping out Of the pres
ent laws on this subject. But n
great majority of them, including
many who three months ago would
have feared to brush garments with
grcenbackors lest thcymight become
contaminated, come out squarcly
in opposition to the repeal of tho
legal tender clause, and defend it,
thereby becoming as yeritablc fiat
its as any National ever dare be.

MOTHERS. THINK OF THIs.-The follow
ing suggestion is worthy of the consideration
of parents: Nervousness with a child Is
almost always a matter of the stomach. A
crust of bread will usually put an end to the
most obstinate perverSeneSS. Chllureh, Iof
this reason, should never be allowed to go to
bed. after a fit of crying, with an empty
stomach. A bit of bread and jelly, or a cup
of custard, will bring back smiles and happl-
ness when all the moral laws fails, and Tor
the soundest of reasons.
THE EYES.-Favor your eyes IN every
possible manner. If you sit down to write
or TO read, manage to do SO IN a way that
will bring the light over your shoulder. 10
not front the light-that is very trying to the
optic nerves, and will in time seriously lnJure
them. \ little care In this manner Will give
you good eyesight ten years later IN NE than
if you neglect such simple and easy rules.
To REMOVE DIsCoLoRATIoN OcCAsIoNED
BY BRUISES, &C.-ShOuid the eye or any
other part be blackened by a fail, a blow, or
running against any hard substance, apply a
cloth wrung out of very warm water, and re-
new it again until the pain ceases. The
moisture and heat l%iquities the blood, and
sends it back to its proper channel. tse
warm water, or hot, but never cold water to
a bruise.
USEFUL PERFUME.-A very pleasant per
fume, and also a preventive against moths,
may be made of the following ingredients ::
Take cloves. carraway SEEDS, nutmeg. mace,
cinnamon and Tonquin bean, Of each one
ounce then add Is much Fiorentine orris
root as viii equal the other ingredients put
together. Grind the whole we'll to powder,
and then put ~inlittle bags among cloths, etc
TO SOFTEN yATER.-Hard waters are
rendered very soft and pure, rivalling dis
titled water, bymerely boiling in two-ounce
phial. say in a kettleful of water. The car
Donate of lime and any impurities will be
found adhering to the phial. The water
boils very much quicker at the same time.

No solicitude is shown on that score. Ulrls

get drunk, and the sooner any s4ueamish-

that it is better to tolerate the inconvenience

WEARING APpAREL~-Bonnets should not
be allowed 10 lie around and gather dust
but. after being being taken from the head,
should be busted off, and the bows and
trimmings Strengthened, and then LAID away
in their appropriate boxes. It the feathers
seem limp aud slightly uncurled, sometimes
holding them over the hot air Of an open re
gister will restore them. NeliS;. neck-fl6-
bons and cravats will also keep fresh much
longer if carefully folded up and laid away
under a weight sufficient TO keep them III
place. Soiled ribbons, in most %colors, can
be restored by washing in alcohol and water,
and, instead of being ironed, smoothed by
being stretched tightly upon a board, held
in place by pins, and wiped gently with a
soft handkerchief once or twice in drying.
Shoes are among the things that pay for the
care that is taken of them. Upon taking
them off do not leave them in the shape OF
the foot, but smooth them by stretching out
the wrinkles and bending the soles straight.
If buttons are lacking, sew them on lmme-
diately, and if other repairs are needed, have
them attended to at once. 1t the heels be-
come worn down on one side, let them be
straightened without delay, or the shoe will
take an ugly or permanent twist. Gloves,
with many people, are the objects of great
abuse, which is a great mistake, because to
be well-glOved contributes very much toward
a lady-like appearance, and unless one can
afford a constant procession Of new gloves it
is desirable to keep the old ones in order.
When they are taken oil they should not be
rolled up together in a lump, as is the Gus
tom with many, but they must be pulled and
stretched lengthwise, and laid away in a box,
like new gloves, without any folding. They
should also be kept repaired, for if rips on
the finger ends are neglected they soon get
so large that in mending them it j is impos-
sible to restore the proper shape of the fin
gers. When they are soiled they can be
cleaned at home as well as at a professional
cleaner. Wash them in benzine, rubbing
and squeezing them as freely as if ii was cot
ton. Rinse them in clean benzine (f very
dirty they will have to be rinsed several
times, wipe off some of the moisture with a
soft flannel, and hang them over the stove
to dry. The heat will dissipate the odor Of
the benzine much sooner than exposure to
the air.

AWAITING HIS DooM.-A party who, a

Superior Court for the murder Of one Henry
McDuffic, colored, and sentenced to be hung
on the 18th of July, proximo, says the con-
demned maj appears to be in very good
spirits considering the near approach Of
what he now seems to realize as his almost
inevitable doom. He says that an effort has
beer made to secure a cOmmutation of his
sentence to Imprisonment for life, but he
evidently feels that the chances of such a re-
lief from a more speedy and terrible fate are
small indeed. He has recently connected
himself with the Methodist Church and been
baptized, and says he is now ready and pre-
pared to go. The prisoner is quite a young
man, beng only about % years Of age, and
really looks younger. Star.
