Mechanical and Scientific.

Humming-birds were supposed, even
to Buttons day, to live on the nectar of
flowers, but it has now been proved that
they eat insects also. A gentleman in
Jamaica, who kept some, found that they
must have insect food.
A Frenchman has analysed the dust
and debris of the streets of Paris and
Florence, and has found that 35 per cent.
of that collected from the roadway is
iron given off by horses shoes. and that
from 80 to 40 per cent. of that taken from
the side walks is glue. He proposes to
utilize both the iron and the glue.
A new coating for the bottom of iron
ships consists OF brown paper attached
by g suitable cement. It is the inven-
ton of an English sea Captain, and the
substance he proposes to use is prepar-
alton of papier machie. It is stated that
weeds and barnacles will not adhere to
paper, and that the special cement by
which the paper is in this case secured,
may be applied cold, hardens under
water, is unaffected by comparatively
high temperature, and possesses great te-
aacity. Experiments made with a view
to test this method show that a plate
thus protected on one side has been inn
mersed for six months, with the result
that the protected side was found clean.
while the unprotected metal was cover
ed with rust and shell-fish.
According to the germ theory, the
communicable diseases, such as small
pox, cholera, yellow fever, measles, scar.
let fever, typhus and typhoid fevers and
liphtheria, are developed from particles
Of organic matter, which, upon intro.
duction into the body, grow as grain
grows, when sown in q fertile field. This
analogy to the growth of grain is insisted
on by all opponents of the germ theory
The seed having been planted, asst were
IN the form of a particle of contagiun
rom without, it multiplies by growth
within the system, and thus occasionl
the phenomena belonging to that pa.l
ticular disease of which it is the germ
The vitality of these infectious particles
is wonderful. Sir Thomas Watson, il
the Nineteenth Century, mentions thu
case of several physicians who helped
unfold mummy at London in the yea
1893; they died shortly afterward of
malignant fever, which was ascribed tt

DIR. E. B. Halliday heard from on the wes-
tern coast OF South America. He sends Mr..
8. Blackford formula for gargle for dis
eases of the throat. Used in connection
with DR.. E. B. Halliday's Blood Purifier, it is
warranted to cure the very worst cases of
swollen, liberated sore throat or mouth. One
or two applications will satisfy any one
that it is the finest preparation ever intro
duced to the American people. For scrofulous
or syphilitic diseases these medicines have
no equal in the civilized world.ln order to show
them up as no humbug or quack medicines,
will send trial bottle of each of these med
icines, free of charge, TO any part of the
United States, to anyone afflicted with
chronic sore throat or mouth, by the parties
sent to simply paying the express charges.

Parental Sympathy.

Parents express too little sympathy
for their children; the effect of this il
lamentable.
GLOW your children love you! would
give the world to have my children SO
devoted to met! said mother to one
who did not regard the time given to her
children as so much capital wasted. Par.
ents are fatally wrong when they grudge
the time necessary for their children's
amusement and instruction, for no in
vestment brings so sure and SO rich
returns.
The child's love is holy; and if the
parent does not fix that love on himself
he deserves to lose it, and in after-life to
be wailing his poverty of heart.
The child's heart is full of love, and it
must gush out towards somebody or
something. If the parent is worthy of it,
and possesses it, he is blest and the
child is safe. When the child loves
worthy persons and receives their SYM
pathy, he is less liable to be influenced
by the undeserving; for in his soul are
models of excellence with which he COM
pares others.
Any parent can descend from hi chill
ing dignity, and freely answer the child's
questions, talking Familiarity and tenderly
with him; and when the little one
wishes help, the parent should come out
of his distractions and cheerfully help
him. Then his mind will return to his
speculations elastic, and it will act with
force. All parents can find few min.
utes occasionally, during the day, to read
little stories to the children, and to illus,
trate their respective tendencies to good
and bad feelings. They can talk to them
about flowers, birds, trees, about angels
and about God.
They can show interest in their sports
determining the character of them
What is surer way than binding the
child to the heart of the parent? Wher
YOU have made friend of a child, yor
may congratulate yourself you have ,
| friend for life.

They were not twenty yards apart.
Lollard trembled with excitement under
the tightly drawn rein. Lily thought of
her father, half prayerfully, half fercely,
bowed closely over her horses neck. and
braced herself in the saddle, with every

out of the sentry's mouth she gave
Young Lollard the spur, and shot like
an arrow into the bright moonlight,
straight toward the black mufled horse

She was close upon him in an instant.

Work Together.

II all men had the self-same mind,
And sought the same position,
The world would be, as you'll agree,
Chaotic in condition.
Thus some must SOW, and some must reap,
And me must plow the mighty deep;
And some must wake while others sleep
Each has his given mission.
And though they seek quite different paths
In bright and cloudy weather,
And seem to stray, each his own way,
They really work together;
The one who weaves, the one who knits,
The one who cuts, and he who fits,
Bound by silken tether.
Thus the great world thrives and grows,
AS each man helps his brother;
The great and small, the short and tall,
They all help one another.
For some must print and some Inust fold,
Some must carve and some must mold,
And some count silver, scrip and gold,
Each one pursuit or other.
Then Danish envy from our hearts,
And keep your soul well lighted,
The world should be, as you'll agree,
At peace and all united.
The water course will turn the wheel
The mill viii grind the corn and meal
And God will reign through woe and veal,
And every wrong be righted.

Needles.

among the unciviized people, at a
very early period, rude attempts were
made to form needles or bo lkins Of bone
or ivory, by means of which they
might stitch their garments together;
but among the more refined nations OF
antiquity, as the Chinese, Hindoos,
Egyptians and Hebrews, fine needles
must have been in common use
Piiny mentions needles made OF
bronze for sewing and knitting as being
used in his time, and bronze needles, Of
a large size, have been found in Egyp-
tian tombs, which must have been made
four thousand years ago. The action ot
moisture and the atm Osphere would
have destroyed smaller ones.
The Spanish or steel, needle was
introduced into England at the time Of
Queen Elizabeth, but the process hy
which it was made was kept a secret,
and the art was lost till the year 1850,
when it was revived.
Greas improvements have been intro
duced in needle-m making, and the fine
needles OF that period bear but faint
resemblance to the delicate and highly
tempered needle of the present day,
which requires to pass through the
hands of no less than one hundred and
twenty workmen before it is ready for
nae:

Where Is Yesterday

But tell me, where is yesterday

In play and pleasure, though in rain;
Then why won't it come back again

But then to-morrow's drawing near.
To-day-oh, do not go away!
And vanish like dear yesterday.
"'Tis when the sun and all the light
Has gone, and darkness brings the night,
1t seems to me you steal away
And change your name to yesterday.
s'And will all time be just the same?
To-day-the only name remain7
And shall always have to say,
Tomorrow you'll be yesterday

II there record will be given
OF all our thoughts and all our ways

That mine noble life may be;
For then I'll greet with joyous gaze
The dear lost face OF yesterdays.

Black dresses are by no means aband-
oned, either for the house or street, and
some of these made of black wool are
suitable for either purpose, because of
the convenient short skirt and the sim
plicity of their style. Black satin bro
caded with raised velvet figures in loz-
enges or in half-moons, or else with
light vermicelli figures, is used for the
square cuffs, the monks collar, and the
hip pockets on black camel's-hair
basques, and there are very wide side
panels, and perhaps wide border on
the skirt. Plush is used in the same
way, and is not always black, since
purple-red dahlis shades, olive, gold,
and pale blue, are used most effectively
on such dresses. The smallest round
crocheted silk buttons, or else the
same, bullet shape, covered with beads,
are used for such basques.
An elegant basque OF black cisele vel
vet Is most useful garment this season,
a. it may be worn with various skirts.
These are most effective when made
demi-long, like half coats, but they
must be rounded short on the hips for
gtout figures. They require really no
trimming, but sometimes rich chenille
fringe tipped with jet is used around the
neck and across the fronts. One fashion
Of finishing the front of such basque
(Which should be cut single -breasted) is
10 cut a deep slender leaf point from the
first dart to the buttons, than another
extends beyond the second dart, making
four leaves in front. Another way is to
have only three curves, that are quite
wide, one in front, and one on each side
reaching back to the middle forms OF
the back, which are folded in two large
box plaits; chenille fringe edges all the
curves, but not the plaits sof the back.
SILL another new shape for coat basgues
has skirted hip piece that is cut in one
with the middle forms of the back, and
extends along the sides as far as the sec
ond dart of the front; in front OF this
piece the basque is sharply pointed.
All handsome basques are now loaded
with weights seWed 10 the facing back
and front to keep the ends from turning
up, and the basque from being Wrlnkled
when the Wearer sits.
Other black dresses meant for full
dress are for ladies just leaving OF
mourning, and these have relief either
of white or lavender, and are trimmed
with wide jetted laees, or else with
white point duchesse. Heavy black
silk is preferred in these dresses to
SATIN finished fabrics, and the colored
material is either Sicilienne or Surah.
The petticoat front, for instance, will
be Of white SiciIenne laid in wide folds
lengthwise, on which are stripes Of pas
sementerie that is VIII lily OF Jet. The
flowing train is of black silk, and the
side reverse have Jet trimmings. A
| similar skirt has three front breadths o.
lavender silk, with two jet lace tiounces
gathered across, and separated by scarfs
of lavender Surah. The black basque
has a lavender vest nearly covered with
lengthwise rows of white point duchesst
lace, while jetted lace edging the ves
rests on the black silk. The sleeve:
reach down to the elbow, and have
wide lavender Surah down the top o
the arm and full duchesse at the wrist

Rnrned in Melted Lead.

The establishment of the st. Louis
Smelling and Refining Company, in st.
Louis. was destroyed by IRE. and John
Williams was caught in stream of
molten metal and literally burned by
inches. The fire was caused by the
bursting of a cupola of one of the fur
naces, in which about twenty-five tons
OF lead was being smelted for refining.
Williams, the engineer, was stand
ing at the door of the engine room. He
started to get his coat and dinner
bucket. The molten lead, which was
running on the ground in every direc-
tion, had reached this part Of the build
ing, and narrow stream had made its
way directly across the path between
Williams ard the place where his
coat was hanging. As he went for
ward he gave d lit e leap, expect
ing to clear the stream, but
tripped over. Falling. he dropped
partly into tile Kissing pool that
had begun to widen and spread out.
Just at this point two men near by
saw the engineers distress, and
started to pull him out of the puddle.
He, however, succf eded in picking him.
self up without giving the metal a
chance to burn him seriously. He even
went and got his coat, and was return
ing to cross the leaden flood at a
narrow point, when a second inter-
ruption came along from a different
direction and caught him. This time
it was impossible for him to escape. The
two men tried to reach him, but the
consuming mass was covering the whole
floor, running small channels in every
direction, so that the men could not get
near the struggling engineer. He was
seen to fall, and, all efforts to rescue
him having failed. the building burned
over and about him, and the ruins fel
upon him.
