The Power of Chemistry.

hemistry-whateve Mr.. Lowe NAV
have to say in praise OF civil engineering
is the science of the world and of the
future. The bridge which takes the
engineer year upon year to construct, the
chemist can IN so many sixteenths of g
second reduce to atoms.
Chemistry has given us the balloon; it
has put IN our hand gunpOwder, nitro
glycerine, dynamite and, above all, full
inmate OF gold, an explosive so terrible
that If an ounce be left in a stoppered
bottle its gains falling among themselves
by their own weight will create COM
vu'sion sufficient 10 lay all London in
ruins. II has given Us pOisOns so subtle
that were we to employ such means of
warfare, we would sail in balloon over
the camp OF the enemy and drop upon
1t shell, the bursting of which would
kill every human being within a mile OF
its range.
Then, too, chemistry has given us dis
inlectants. To the chemist we owe
carbolic acid, chloride of lime and per-
manganaJe of potash. Chemists have
taught US to disinfect our sewers and
drains, to ventilate our houses, to burn
gas, instead Of oil, and to light our streets
with what IS more powerful than gas
itseli-the electric light. 1t is 10 chem
istTy, indeed, that we. owe almost all the
comforts OF every day life.
But, on the other hand the possibili>
ties of chemistry are almost too terrible
to be contemplated. As the science at
present stands, any student can, if he
have access to a we'll stored laboratory,
carry away in pill-box sufficient to lay
London ia ruins, or to poison the whole
community of its inhabitants. The
chemist can, as every schoOl-boy knows,
convert water into ice in the center of a
red-hOt crucible. He can construct a
shvll the size of cTicket-ball which will
explode the moment it touches the
water and overwhelm a hostile Feet In
flames. Indeed the chemist reduces the
world to its original primal elements
For him, even more than for the
engineer, nothing is impossible. And
yet his power, vast as it is, is limited
He can more easily destroy than con-
struct. He can take life, but be cannot
give it. He can level the city with the
plain, but he cannot build it up again.
He can create Trussic acid, but he is
ignorant of its antidote. He is like the
fisherman who Tashly opened the vessel
sealed with the ring of Sulieman Ben
Daoud. The forces at his control are
b. yOnd his command: the powers he can
! evoke he cannot lay. 1t is the old story
OF Cornelius Agrippa-those who trif1e
with natures secrets do so at their
peril.

For Brides Only.
Frank Leslie's Lady's Journal.

The materials Ior bridal robes this sea
son are remarkably giant. Extremists
in fashion select brocades-satin brocades
tor brides over twenty years OF age, and
silk bTOcade for younger brides-tbOugh
plain satin, by conventional consent
the one material always in vogue for
bridal rObes--is clamOred for by some /:
while plain gros grain silk has its vota-
ries, and India null. Swiss null and
French orgsndy muslin dresses are sent
out for rustic youthful brides, who do
not feel willing to afford the expense of a
dress more costly.
The silks, satins, and gauZes which are
shown for bridal robes, are in several
distinct tints of white, and several dis
tinct shades OF these tiDLs. In cream
white, for instance, there is the dark,
rich, yellOWish shade of the Attorney
cream, twent y-fOur hours old and,
according to the age of the cream, paIer
shades, till the faintest of color" is
visible. In pearl white we are shown q
tint that almost approaches the smoke
pearl in shade ; another, that has q sus-
picion OF rose in tint /; another, with the
iaintest suspicion of lilac-this being
quite perceptible on the wong side OF
plain satin or satin brOcade; and from
these scarcely perceptibIe hints of color
In the silk iabTics displayed, there are
fainter and fainter shades, Till the exist
ence of g colored ray Is disLiBguishable,
only when laid beside a piece OF snow
white silk. Cream white of the medium
shade Is that in the most decided favor
for the bridal robe ; aud OF the whites is
that which is regarded as the most
becoming or the least trying to the. COM
pleXiOn.

The safety of a mountain.c climber
depends upon being well>shod. There
fore the Swiss guides wear heavy shoes
with sharp spikes in the soles.
On bright July morning, 8 famous
scientist Of England started with two
gentlemen to ascend the P Z Morteratsch,
a steep and lofty snow-mountain in
Switzerland.
Though experienced mountaineers.
they took with them Jenni the boidest
guide in that district. After reaching
the summit of the Morteratsch, thew
started back, and soon arrived at q steeD
slope covered with thin snow. Thew
were dashed together with a strong T
which was tied TO each mans waist
Keep carefully in my steps, gentle>
men, said Jenni, for a ,alse step here
might start the snow, and send us down
in an avalanche"
He had scarcely spoken when the whole
field of snow began to slide down the
icy mountain side, carrying the unfor-
tunate climbers with it at a terrible pace
A sleeper slope was before them, and
at the end OF it a precipice The three
foremost men were almost in the whirl>
ing snow. Below them were the Jaws
OF death. Everything depended upon
getting a fOOthOld.
Jenni shouted loudly, Halt, halt p
and, with desperate energy, drove his
irOn-nailed boots into the firm ice be-
meath the moving snow.
Within a few rods Of the precipice
Jenni got hold with his feet, and was
able to bring the party up all standing,
when two seconds more would have
swept them into the chasm.
This hair breadth escape shows the
value of being we'll shod when in danger
GUS places. Life is full of dangerous
places, especially TOR the young. No
boy is prepared for rough climbing, un-
less he is well shOd with Christian prin.
ciples. Sometimes temptation ic, the
track under him, and then he must
plant his foot down with an iron heel OF
he is gone.
A poor boy of my acquaintance signed
a pledge never tn taste liquor. One day
his rich employer invited him to dinner
There was wine on the table, but the lad
was not ashamed to say:
it'll"
Then came on a rich pudding, which
the boy tasted. and found that there was
brandy in it; SO he quietly laid the
tasted mOIsel back on his plate. The
employer discovered that the boy had
pluck enough to stand by his cor vic
tions, and he will never be afraid to trust
him. He is a suresfOoted boy.
God knows what steep places lie before
US. He has provided the " shoes of iron
and brass" for US to put on. They are
truth and honesty, and faith and cour

Josh BiIIings, philosophy.

It costs more money, reckoning time
worth shilling an hour, to learn any
kind of a game, so thst you can beat
any man playing it, than you can win
back il you live TO be ninety seven years
old.s
What write comes 10 me ike the
fight a wild pigeon il don't seize it
and write it down, it is gone forever;
and too often, in grasping for it, L only
get q sorry bunch of tail feathers.
Many people mistake their will for
their judgment, but this is not always
fatal error.
Young fellow, think of this: The
world won't give you any credit Tor the
money that yon have sCusndeTed, but
what you make, and hang onto, they
will.
The cheapest and best education 1
know OF is 10 learn from the experience
Of others.
Young man, people will tell you that
you can't succeed without genius or
talent; but Josh says tG you, If you are
honest and earnest you arc as sure to
succeed as the earth is to turn on its
axis.
The most popular people are those
who let us see just enough of themselves
To make US wish to see more
LOveOt notOTiety always makes fool
of man, and often, at last, a knsve.
There is q great difference between
knowing everybody and having every
body know YOU; but there are lots of
folks who never discover the difference.
Avarice, when it takes full possession
of the heart, roots out all other things,
good, bad and Indifferent.
The man who won't believe anything
he can not understand is not going TO
believe much, nor understand much
either.
Men of real merit are the first ones TO
see merit aud praise il in Others.
Young man, ii you expect to succeed
in this world, you have got to trundle
your own hoop; The jealousy OF friends
and the malignity If enemies make the
road to success a hard one to travel.
There is nothing so simple as gratitude,
ana yet it is the highest possible price
we can pay for anything.
The necessaTies of lille are cheap. and
simple, and yet we manage TO make
the act of living continual slavery.
The world is q Workshop and none of
US are expected 10 lay down our tools
7 until summoned to the court above.
The great AIT of ccntentment consists
not only If being satisfied with what we
have got, but with what we amt got,
nor csn't get
Simple pity isn't much better to a
person than an insult, but 10 pity him

Young man. if you look TO the world

First get the approval your own con-

TIE Awful Plague in Brazil.

A Herald letter from Brazil gives a
frighttul picture of the drought, fam
ine and pestilence raging in the north
ern portion OF that country for more
than a vesr past. 1t said to be the great
1T calamity in two hundred years.
Half 8 million people were swept away
by starvation and disease.
Smallpox and black plague carried of
their victims in appa ing numbers, and
thousand of bodies were rotting ia the
open trenches at Lsgoa Funds. ThOu5>
ADDS OF other corpses were torn and de-
vOnTed BY wild animals, and the starving
peasants ate their own Offspring. Some
places, including the city of Cerea, have
been depopulsted. In the terrible strug-
gle for lie children were abandoned and
the young souls sold Tor bread. Thou
sands Of living skeletons were 70 be seen.
Government aid was t2rdy. The letter
presents pictures of woe such as can
scarcely be paTslleled n history except
by the seige OF Jerusalem and the black
death whic devastated Europe In the
fourteenth century.
