The Engineering says that the Anglo

have commenced lighting the dials of
the clock tower of the British House
of Parliament. AT first the western

marred by the dirty state of the dial
and the absorption of much of the light
by the brick wall behind it. A few dsvs
later the northern dial was cleaned and
the interior of the chamber whitewash.

we've arranged at equal distances apart
at the back of the dial, producing an
illumination which for brilliancy and
steadiness leaves nothing to DO desired.

His Partner.

Dr. X. is an eminent physician of
Philadelphia, and, as is often the ease
with eminent physicians, is brusGue and
overbearng in manner. Among his
office patients one morning was a gentle
man who, after occupying exactly five
minutes of the great mans time, took n
$40 note from his pocket, and inquired
the amount the fee Fifty dollars"
said the impatient medical man. The
patient denurred little, whercnpon
the physician rudcIy remarked. "Wcll,
what do You expect to payP Give me
what YOU have GOT and on receiving
the $40 bill, turned scornfully to his
negro servant aud handing the money,
remarked: That is for you, JIM"
but lost his temper still more when his
patient coolly said; Il did not know
before that you had n partner. Good
morning, doctor"

Water.

10 cool the lips of Liverpool, valleys
are about to be blocked up in the wilds
of Wales, mountains are to be pierced.
the beds of rivers are to bo tunncllcd.
a stream of the brightest highland water
is daily to flow through Liverpool
streets md houses until the town and it's
population be amply contentcd. Vast
sums will be spent upon the enterprise
before it is completed; yet the surprise
is that tho outlay III proportion to tho
result should bo so small The works
may not amaze postcrity like tha gi-
gantic aqucducts which stretch their
gnunt skeletons through the Roman
Campagna. But they will not be tho
less prodigious or durable that science
in these times burrows in the earth in
stcnd of striding over the hills. Only a
commencement has been made of the
retaining cmbankmcnt yct the work is
described rs if it were already done.
And none too soon, it seems, when it is
done. Nowhere Ill England is the death
rate habitually higher than in Liverpool !;
no whore is drunkenness more prevalent.
Fifty-two millions of gallons day, tho
estimate of the new underground acquc-
duct, will cure some of those evils, at
present charged to the scanty supply.

Care of tho Feet,

No part of the human body is so
much neglected rs are the 'f.et. Posi-
bly, not over ten III each hundred, even
OF the educated classes, properly cleanse
the feet and nails. Batho the feet every
night and morning with little borax in
the water. Ammonia and bay rum,
though cleansing, have tendency to
dry the skin and close tho pores. Ere.
qncnt change of hosiery is more ncccs-
sary than changing any other part of
the clothing. After physical exercise
remove the stockings, bathe the feet,
and anoint them, the ankles, and the
calves, with healing oil or salve. Ex-
change the socks worn through the day
for clean ones at early evening, and the
brain will quickly respond to the re-
storing influence. It would be much
better to neglect to wash the face an en-
tire month than neglect to bathe tho
feet single day. Never use cheap or
highly perf1lmed soap, rs it has ten
dency to dry and parch the skin, and so
close the pores as to prove injurious to
the health. CASTLE, olive oil, and other
vegetable oil soaps, are the beat for the
flesh.

How to Treat the Gout.

Lord Granville gave M amusing ac-
count of the diversity of counsel which
has moro than once added to the torment
of gout. At Rome he was inundated
with prescriptions not only in English
md Italian, but in French and German,
and even in Russian. The Cardinal
Secretary of State was good enough to
give him some advice based upon his
own experience; northern foreign
minister gave him exactly tho opposite
advice. In London, in tho same way,
on the announcement of an attack he is
touched by receiving weekly, oild even
daily and hourly, letters of advice of an
infinite variety. He ought to drink
whisky, he ought to drink claret, he
ought to adhere to tho most rigid tecto-
talism. He had been advised to live
generously, and he had been advised
almost to starve himself, and one gentle
man advised him to obtain complete
set of artificial back teeth. This is the
experience of all of us, but the same ex-
perionce applies to other matter besides
health. About marriage, about the
education Of children, about money
the variety of advice is just MS distract
ing as it is about the gout. In all Of
them, and in health especially, it is safe
to assume that every proposition which
claims to be of universal fitness must be
untrue. Amy layman can see for himself
that half the blunders of the doctors
arise from thinking that tho same treat
mont must be good for the same disorder
in every case. That steady moderate
exercise is good for everybody, male
and female, is almost tho one single
maxim Of universal application in the
yhola GeM of hygienics,

Running Mills by Elcctri "tty.

Electricity has been put to many
uses, and one of the most ingenious
applications of it is to the middlings-
purifier in place of tho air-bast. Eric
tional electricity is employed, the
middlings passing under hard rubber
rollers electrified by friction against Il
shccps!sin cushion. The bran is at-
tracted to the roller, and is swept off by
brushes, the middlings passing through
tho bolts in the order of their fineness.
The machine, which has been in prnc-
tical use at large mill for year past,
is said to be economical of power, and
works without the dust and waste in
volvcd in any process of purifcation by
air. It is quite within the range Of
probability that some day great Touring
mills will have their machinery run by
electrical engines, converting the power
of watcrwhcels at distance, be light
ed by electric lamps and have their
middlings purified by another kind of
elcctricity

Characteristics or I.obBters,

mature lobster should measure
without his claws from one to two feet.
and weigh from two to fifteen pounds.
The average shell-fsh seen In our mark
cts is, however, about ten or twelve
inches, and for certain calculations q
length of ten and one-ha inches is tn
ken as standard without regard to
weight. Occasionally Holsters of i'm
mcnse size will be captured and their
claws arc preserved us relics. Some
have been taken which weighed twenty
five pounds, and Maine fishermen tell
OF prodigious shcll-fish taken on their
shores weighing forty three pounds. AS
the shell of lobster is inflexible and
admits of no enlargement, the covering
is shed every year to allow for the growth
of the body. The first change is made
only when the lobster has existed five
years, and thcn, about the LIST of August
the shell splits along the back and slow
~ falls OIL, another one forming under
meath. While the new covering is grow
ing, the lobster is defenseloss from his
foes, and seeks refuge under rocks and
crcviccs. BY October the shell is in
good order, and by December the lob
stcr is i'll his best condition. A Holsters
food IS varied, any kind of shell-fish,
scn-wecd or small animal life which
comes within his reach serving to satisfy
his hunger. They have been known to
live months in the wells of vessel,
picking up sufficient sustenance from the
water i'll which they were kept.
