Some Interesting Facts.

The air we breathe contains five grains
OF water to each cubic foot OF its bulk.
The potatoes and turnips which are boil
ed for our dinner, have, in their raw
state, the one 75 per cent, the other
80 per cent. of water. If man weigh
ing ten stone were squeezed fiat in q
hydraulic press, seven and half stone
of water would run out, and only two
and half of dry residue remain. A
man is, chemically speaking, forty-five
pounds of carbon and nitrogen diffused
through five and halfpailfuls of water.
In plants We find water thus mingling
no less wonderfully. A sunfower evap
crates one and quarter pints of water a
day, and a cabbage about the same
quantity. Awheat plant exhales, in 172
days, about 100000 grains of water. An
acre of growing wheat, on this calcula-
tion, draws and passes out about ten tons
of water per day. The sap of plants is
the medium through which this mass of
fluid is conveyed. 1t forms a delicate
pump, up through which the watery
particles run with the rapidity of a swift
stream. By the action of the sap, various
properties may be communicated to the
growing plant-timber in France, for
instance, dyed by various colors being
mixed with water, and poured over the
roots of the tree. Dahlias are also col
ored by similar process.

A Needed Improvement.

Some of the Western cities, notably
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Chicago,
which have been for years hopelessly
begrimed by the burning of soft coal,
are delighted with the proposed plan of
washing the smoke, so that when passing
fiom the chimney it will not, it is said,
soil a white handkerchief. They fear
that this is almost too good to be true,
but they are encouraged to believe that
the present nuisance of thick, black,
perpetual smoke can at least be greatly
abated. Cincinnati has long been nearly
as bad as Pittsburg, and Chicago has
been steadily growing from bad to
worse. st. Louis, Louisville and other
cities where manufactures are increas-
ing are suffering from continually fall.
ing SCOT, and the method of getting rid
of it will, if successfully adopted, be a
material blessing. No one who has not
lived in Pittsburg or Cincinnati can have
any idea of the detestableness of the
smoke, which shuts out the sky, de-
stroys the purity of the air, soils build
ings, clothes, people, end renders life
burdensome. When those towns are
purified their best friends will hardly
know them. The advantage will be in.

A WOman's Advice.

Make home home, and make it one
in every sense of the word. My hus.
band is a great smoker; he loves to play
cards, dominoes and chess; he is at per-
feet liberty to smoke in any room in the
house, and am always ready and will
ing to join him in the different games.
l endeavor in every way to be not only a
helpmate, but companion to him, and
the result has been that have and en-
Joy his society; he prefers spending his
evenings at home with me to seeking
other society. I cannot understand
why women will run the risk of losing
their husbands society and love merely
for the sake of gratifying an over-fastid-
ious taste. II they do not like tobacco,
did they object to his using it during
the days of courtship? And if they OBJ.
jected then and failed, why did they
marry? If men will not give up such
habits at the solicitation of their sweet
hearts, it is not likely they will be per-
suaded out of them by their wives; there.
fore I think it unwise for a woman to
risk her happiness by quarreling with
her husband over venial fault, the ex
istence and extent OF which she knew
and perfectly understood before she
took upon herself the duties Of wife.

and here some disagreeable discoveries
were made. The majors criticism was
very free and not so very kind in its

considered and treated as merely a per-

itself posted about everything military

left out in the cold.
