Rules for Spelling . child.

cries for.
2. Talk freely before the child about
his smartness as incompatible.
3, Tell him that he is too much for
you that you can do nothing with him.
4. Have divided counsels, as between
father and mother
5. Let him learn to regard his father
as creature Of unlimited power, capri
cious and tyrannical; or a mere whip
ping-maehine.
6. Let him learn (from his fathers ex-
ample) to despise his mother.
7. Do not know or care who his com
panions may be.
s. Let him read whatever he likes.
8. Letthe child, boy or girl, rove the
streets in the evening. q
10. Devote yourself to making money,
remembering always that wealth is het-
ter legacy for your child than principles
in the heart and habits in the life, and
let him have plenty of money to spend.
II. Be not with him in the hours Of

13. Let him run about from church to

quirements you lay on his shoulders,
touch not one with one Of your fingers.
Preach gold and practice irredeemabIe

MANY parents have proved them. with
substantial uniformity of results If a
faithful observance ofthem does not spoil
your child, you will at least have the
comforting reflection that you have done

Heat on BuIlding.Stons,

The powers of the various kinds Of
building-stone to resist pressure and at.
mospheric influences are we'll known,
but there scarcely ever occurs an exter-
sive fire which does not emphasize the
need OF better information as to the
effect OF heat upon stone. This need
Hiram A. Cutting, State Geologist Of
Vermont, has undertaken 10 supply by
series of experiments, the first resuit
of which is to confirm and give exact
ness to the general impression that gran,
lite is a poor heat-registcr, and the second
TO show that there is wide choice-eyen
in granite in this respect. He tested
twenty two specimens Of the best known
quarries, and found that while all were
unaffected by the 5000 of heat, damage
usually began at 600o, was serious and
frequent at s00o, and at ,00Oo, all the
specimens were ruined, the stone from
Mount Desert standing the test perhaps
better than any other. He gives il as
his opinion that the effect Of water OF,
heated granite is rather apparent than
real. The Importance Of this informa-
tion is very great especially to builders
and insurers. In spite of these hints.
this favorite stone will probably con,
tinue to be used in fire-proof :" build
ings, and possibly without serious dan,
ger, if it is only used in very solid walls.
but to use it in buildings supporting
columns, especially within the walls. is
only to invite the cutting of the whole
interior of the building II fire should
break out.
VARIOUS physicists nave tried to
measure the heat conductivity of
liquids, but so far the results have been
very discordant. Thus, some attribute
to saline solutions greater conductivity
than water, and some less. Beetz got
for glycerine a conductivity almost
double that found by Winkelmann. But
recently the subject has been studied
anew by Herr Weber. The tabulated
rssults for some fourteen liquids show
that the conducting power is closely
connected with the specific heat of unit
volume, end nearly proportional TO it
The author attaches great value to this
result for the theory Of the state Of ag-
ereeation Of liquids, for it is known that
the internal friction and other properties
of liquids have here only secondary in
fiuence. Water was found the most
conductive of liquids examined, and
aqueous saline solutions have conduc-
tivity very little inferior 10 wateK II
is also proved that the conductivity IN
creases notably with the temperature.

In the textile trades the elections are causing
some slackness this week, though upon the
whole the tone Is cheerful. In Manchester the
tone OF the market has rather recovered from
the recent natness. At the country markets
more activity has again characterized the wool
trade during the past week, and late rates have
been fully maintained. consequent on an In.
creased demand for manufacturing purposes
both at home and abroad. Fieeces of choice
quality have been eagerly sought for by sta
piers. and the late increased rate has been
freely offered. From Leeds, however. 1t is re-
ported that In the WOODEN trade much more IL

In 1850, the average size of the farms In the
United states was 203 acres: the next ten years
err the census showed further reduction of Al
acres, and farms averaged only l52 acres. The

that the only exceptions In all the states and
Territories were-an increase in California
