1t is to be regretted that people are not
more social; that the long winter evenings
are not improved more generally in our
country villages by getting acquainted
with our neighbors, by exchanging
thoughts with them and each adding
something to the common store. One
great objection to the more frequent ex
change of inequalities is the amount of
labor it adds TO the burdens of the house
keeper-the tired woman who would really
be refreshed and frightened by inter
course with other minds; who would be
lifted out Of the tiresome routine of her
every day work into IN almost ideal re
gion. But if with poor help Or possibly
without any, she must be perplexed by
he thought of elaborate entertainment,
she cannot enter with any zest or enjoy
ment onto the visit, and so the chief good
to be derived from it is at once done
away with 1t is not right that so much
should be thought necessary as is almost
invariably offered to guests, that tea
should not be considered complete without
a variety of meats, half dozen kinds Of
| cake, and other things accordingly. An
experiment tried in one of the large
| villages in this State is worthy of being
| repeated elsewhere. A number of ladies
and gentlemen deliberated upon this sub
ject and at length resolved to see what
could be doEe; there were about twelve
in all; and they agreed to meet once in two
weeks at each others houses during the
winter; they were to come 10 tea and
spend the evening in reading, music or
conversation, just as each hostess should
| decree; a simple supper was to be served;
the bill of fare agreed upon was white or
brown bread, tea or coffee (not BOTH, one
kind of cold meat, one kind of cake,
cheese or pickles, and some canned fruit;
each.lady pledged herself not to offer any.
thing more. The result was a series of
aesthetic teas which were delight to those
who participated in them, and proved
clearly the possibility of being hospitable
without gre WEAKNESS of flesh. z. w.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

When in Africa M. dAbaddie wit
messed lightning without any thunder.
He contends that in this instance the
ordinary explanations of so-called
cheat lightning" as the mere reflection
of storm below the horizon is not ap-
plicable, because it was thin fog occu-
pying narrow valley which was sud-
denly illuminated by sheet lightning.
Sir William Armstrong, at Craigside,
near Newcastle, England, has utilized q
brook to run q dynamo electric machine
by means of turbine water-wheel, and
so manages to secure electricity enough
to keep thirty-seven Swan lamps in
state of incandescence in his house. In
this case the motive power costs moth
ing, and electric lighting in this way is
an exceptional luxury.
Color-blindness as a cause Of disasters
is now tolerably well recognized by
those intrusted with the safety of pas
sengers on land or by water. Sounds,
however, as well as colors, are employed
as signals, and the inability to distin-
guish the former may prove as fatal as
lack of sensibility to the latter. Some
times, too, persons having excellent
eyes have very poor ears, and the con-
trary is also true. But perhaps the
gravest source of catastrophes, espe-
ciaIly in railroad travel, is the tendency
of engineers to what may be called alb
sence of mind, especially when those
men manage their locomotives for
months and years over the same monot-
onous track.
Long ago it was customary for the
men employed at railway stations to
convert unoccupied spaces of ground
near the stations into flower beds. The
taste and skill displayed melted people
in the neighborhood to try what they
also might do with the unsightly and
unused pieces of rocky ground neal
their dwellings. In q short time the
country all round the stations under
went sort of transformation, and 8
study of botany, in which book knowl
edge and actual practice went hand ii
hand, was greatly promoted. In othel
countries likewise on few of the great
lines of railroad there are some stations
that present magnificent displays O.
Horticulture, which are grateful relie
to the eye of the weary traveller and {
source of elevating enjoyment to those
who produced them.

Louisiana YeIIOM Pine.

A correspondent of the Picdyune,
says: "The building Of railway lines
that will center at Alexandria is likely
to make this city a lumber manufactur-
ing point. The pine section of the State
lies north of Alexandria in the parishes
of Grant, Winn, Jackson, Bienville, ETC.; /;
while the Sabine River and its tributa-
ries furnish outlets for floating logs to
Alexandria. Some parties from the
northwest who have ample capital are
now engaged in selecting public lands
along the Saline, preparatory to develop
ing the lumber trade and transferring
capital from Michigan to Louisiana. The
demand for lumber in the American
markets exceeds thesupply. Prices have
strong upward turn, and, unlike cotton,
there is no danger of an oversupply.
We wish these parties success in their
undertaking.
Jay Gould and associates are running
trial line for n road from Alexandra
northward via Monroe. A trial line is
also being surveyed under the same
management from Camden, Ark, direct
to Alexandria. The surveyors on the
latter line entered the State near the
northwest corner of Union parish. The
line passes near Vernon, in Jackson
parish, and from this point to Alexan-
dria it will pass through a level, pine
section. Should the direct route from
Camden to Alexandria be adopted, nu
merous sawmills will spring up along
the line above Alexandria.
