THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.

Mr.. Fourman was TRANQUILITY eating
his breakfas. morning or SO ago, when
his boy broke the silence by asking him
for fifty cents to 60 to the circus with
that night. Mr.. Fourman promptly re-
fused ON the ground of hard times.
Mr.. Fourman's boy is more than q
boy, and when he sets his heart on hav-
ing anything he generally succeeds in
getting it so, when his father refused
to comply with his request, he moved
over by his mother, and said:
81 guess I'll tell ma what the cook
said to you last night"
Mrs. Fourman's eyes flashed like two
balls of fire.
You're a nice Ran," she said sar-
.castically, "to come home and pet nae,
and kiss me, and call rae your little

"Will you give me City oents?"

she say to him -
"Give nae the fifty cents, first - said
young hopeful. "I'm opening the year
on the C. o. d. principle"
He soon had the money and relieved
his mother by telling her.
Last night the cook came up to pop,
and got pretty close to him and"
"Oh, you wretch" Kissed Mrs. r.
And when she got beside him she
smiled very sweetly, and said:
"Come, out with it -
The boy moved cautiously toward the
door, and his mother yelled:
"Well go on !"
And when the cook got pretty close
to him, she whispered, "Mr. Fourman,
the potatoes are getting pretty low, and
you had better get another sack In a
day or two. F"
And then the boy get outside as fast
as possible, while his mother sank into
a chair. MIR. Fourman lifted the morn

smile which made it look like calciam

with round dots, and trimmed with tulle
and orange blossoms.
Dancing dresses are made of thin
goods, and for young ladies white ones
are the most popular.
The gold thread seen in fine white

when washed.
Bodices are pointed in front, rounded
on the hips, and have postillion basqles

Mrs. ScotchrOe,s Grief.

"I've had my life insured" said Mr..
Scotchroe, according to the veracious
historian Of the Little Rock Gazette.
"Now, in case L die, my wife will re-
ceive 81, 900. In case of my death, how
ever, / don't know that she would be
benefited, for she has determined to kill
herself if anything of a serious nature
happens to me. Let me tell You what
she did, and Mr.. Scotchroe took hold
of the two men To whom he was talking
Why, she has prepared a bottle of
stuff deadly enough to kill mule. She
says that when the money falls due she
shall fall victim to the contents of the
bottle"
"It may be unwarranted incredulity
on my part, Scotchroe," replied one OF
the men, "but I'll bet you So that
can go to your house, tell your wife
that you aro dead, and"
"Just go ON. Break the news to her
gently. I'll stand outside prepared to
rush in when she makes dive for the
bottle. Come ahead"
The two men went to Scotchroe's cot

wholly or partly in such township. In case of a
fractional district where the school-hOuse is
situated in another township, the money be-
longing 10 such district is paid TO the Treasurer
of that township and by him paid to the dis
trict.
3. In addition to the complete census list
OF a school district which accompanies the an

School Laws of 1879, requires the Director of
fractional district shall furnish a statement to
the Clerk of each township in which the district
Is in part situated. showing the number OF chill
dren in that part of the district lying III such
township. When this requirement of law is
complied with, there need be no trouble in de
termining the amount of surplus dog tax to be
apportioned TO fractional districts.

JUDGE HILTON and Mrs. Stewart, as
executors of the late A. L. Stewart,
have almost perfected arrangements for
the erection, equipment, and endowment
of a college, in accordance with the be-
quest of the deceased millionaire. About
81, OO0 600 will be devoted to these pur
poses. The college is to be located on a
sixty-acre field in Garden City, nePr
New York, and will be in charge of the
Episcopalian Diocese of Long Island.
There Is already nearly completed one
edifice of the three which are to consti-
tute the college buildings. Itis four sories
high, 275 feet front and 100 feet deep,
and is intended for the accommodation
of 500 students. All the appointments
are to be in the very pest style. A NOM
inal charge of 800 per year will be re-
duired of students. The college, though
under the charge of Episcopalians, will
be strictly nonsectarian. When the
three buildings are completed ], 800 pu-
pills can be accommodated. The colleg-
late course will be equal to the best in
any American institution, and the pro-
fessorial staff will be selected from the
very best talent in the country. A girls
college will also be erected on a twenty
tive-acre lot near by. 1t was the inten-
ton of Mr.. Stewart that Garden City
should be the Oxford of America, and
his executors, Mrs. Stewart and Judge
Hilton, are anxious to carry out his
wishes in letter and in spirit. 1t is ex-
pected that in five years from the com
pletion of the college buildings Garden
City will contain 5000 students.

How Ice Is Made.

Every knows that different fluids will
boil Mt different temperatures. Water
boils at 212 deg. Fahrenheit; ether at
50 deg. sulphurous acid boils at ID deg,
or II deg. below the point at which
water freezes: while ammonia in liquid
form, and under the ordinary pressure
of the atmosphere, will boil at 2S deg
below zero, or 60 deg. below the freez-
ing-point of water. IT not only vapor-
ises or boils, as we say, at very low
temperature, but the vapor has an inn
mense capacity for latent heat. The
keen eye of modern science has noted
these peculiar characteristics of ammo
MIA. and machinery has been devised to
take advantage of them.
A certain amount of liquid ammonia is
introduced into the machine and assum-
ing that there is no leakage or breakage
it will do permanent duty. 1t will start
here, go through the apparatus, and
come back, ready TO do duty over again
as often as required. Here it is "a liquid;
a little further on it flies off into gas
then it condenses into liquid; and
again little further on becomes gas,
once more to settle into the liquid state
toward the end of its journey at the orig
inal starting-point. Now, if the reader
will bear in mind that liquid ammonia
on changing into gas absorbs an i'm
mense quantity of heat, and is bound to
have it from somewhere or other, he will
easily understand that just at the points
i'll the machinery where the change
takes place there will be intense cold.
The ammonia, as fast as it becomes
gas, must have caloric TO generate, and
IT will suck what it requires out of the
machinery and the surrounding air.. or
anything else that happens to be near.
1t is at those points III the apparatus
where this process is going on that we
patches of snowy-looking ice and hoar-
frost. Just at these points you may re-
duce temperature to almost any degree
you please and if You want to cool your
brine, all you have to do is to pass it
through a coil of pipe winding round
the receptacle i'll which the heat-sucking
process is going on; and, If you choose,
it may be made hot enough to freeze a
tank of water in bakers oven.
Most people know that ordinary brine,
that Is salt and water, requires II much
greater degree of cold to freeze it than
pure water. Hence salt cast upon ice
Cr snow melts it. A solution of chloride
OF lime, which constitutes the ''brine"
in this machine, may be cooled down to
80 deg. below zero without freezing. In
connection with the ice-making machine,
it is not necessary to reduce the brine to
such temperature; but after passing
through spiral pipe in the ''cooler," it
issues in a frigid torrent, which freezes
water more rapidly than the severest
winters night.

The following appeared in Black
wood's Mdgdsine in 1862: Being i'll
company the other day, when the con-
versation turned upon dreams, related
one, which as it happened to my own
father [ can answer for the perfect
truth of it,
About the year 1871, my father,
Mr.. D of X, in the County OF Cum
berland, came to Edinburgh to attend
the classes, having the advantage OF an
uncle in the regiment then Ill the castle,
and remained under the protection OF his
uncle and aunt, Major and Mrs. Gi1f-
tiths, during the winter. When the
spring arrived, Mr.. ID. and three or four
young gentlemen from England (hls M
timates) made parties to visit all the
neighboring places about Edinburgh,
Roslin, Arthurs Seat, Craig Mlllar etc.
Coming home one evening from some Oh
those places, Mr.. ID. said:
1--WE have made party to go a-saSlln8
to Inch Keith tomorrow, IL the morning
is fine, and have bespoke our boat; we
shall be off at Six" No objection being
made, they separated for the night
Mrs. Gritliths had not been long as8eep,
when she screamed ont Ill most vloSent
and agitated manner, 1.-The boat Is SINK
ing, save, oh save them! The MAJOR
awolle her, and said, ''Were You uneasy
about the fishing party?' ION, mo-,
she said. Il had not once thought OF 1t.
She then composed herself, and soon
fell asleep again; III about n other hour
she cried out in n dreadful fright, " L see
the boat is going down.
The major again awoke her, and she
said, SIT has been owing to the other
dream | had; for L feel no uneaslness
about it. J." After some conversation,
they both fell sound asleep, but no rest
could be obtained for her: Ill the most
extreme agony she again screamed,
"They are gone, the boat Is sunk!
When the major awakened her, she said
"Now. | cannot rest; Mr. d. nAust not
90. for feel should he go, / should be
miserable till his return; the thoU9hts of
! il would almost kill me-" She instantly
arose. threw on her gown, went to his
bedside. for his room was next their own,
and with great difficulty she got his
promise to remain ut home. But what
am to say to my young friends whom
| was to meet at Leith at six o clock?
WITH great uulh YOU niay say youi
aunt is ill; for am SO mt present. Con-
slider, you are an only son, under ON
protection, and should anything happen
to you, it would be my death.
"Mr. ID. Immediately wrote note tc
his friends, saying he was prevented
Joining them, and sent his servant witt
it to Leith. The weather came iii most
beautifully, and continued SO till three
o'clock, when violent storm arose, anC
in an instant the boat and all that were
in it went 10 the bottom, and were never
more heard of, nor was any part OF i
ever seen. l often heard the story from
my father, who always added: at has
not made me supersutious, but with aw
full gratitude, L can never forget tina
my life, 10y Providence, was saved 10y

An Object i'm View.

The celebrated DR.. Sydendam had

that his skill was eXhausted-that he

The patient was n man of fortune, and
soon took the road; but travelling was
very different undertaking then to what
it is now, and a journey from London to
Inverness was not trifling one. He an
rived, however, at the place OF destina-

found, nor had any one of that name
been in the town. This, of course, en-
ragged the gentleman very much, and he
took the road back to London, raging
and vowing vengeance on the doctor. On
his arrival he vented all his rage on the
latter. and abused him for sending him

When his fury was little abated, Syden-

GOSSIP FOR WOMEN.
A Reading Lesson.

They sat i'm a dusky corner,
Turning the leaves of book,
O'er each picture fair,
Or legend there,
Bending with eager look.
She was n modest maiden,
And he was timid youth,
And the volume they view
Together-those two
IL n bit Of fiction, forsooth.
And there wasn't as pretty picture
In all the book, I'll engage,
Az the one that leaned
by the twilight screened
Well over the printed page;
His tresses with hers so blending
They turned 10 brighter shade,
While the cheek of the youth
Was in very truth
As red as the cheek of the maid.
The shadows began To deepen,
The printed prge was blur,
Yet he did not close
The book nor propose
A change Of employment to her.
But, as in their eager reading
Their hands together had met,
In the same warm clasp,
More than friendly grasp,
They fingered and fingered yet.
Nor needed they for moment
In each others face to look,
For the secret guessed
Was at once confessed,
And each heart was an open book.
