The aim OF protection, according to
its own theory, is to have the cost OF
production exceed the value Of the

people to work more than there is
necessity for. If without protection
the product Of ten days labor can be
exchanged for fifteen tons Of French
emery, protection steps il and com

American emery in exchange for his

make the company laugh and not offend

such a way that two persons can stand on
it and not be able to touch each other with
their hands. By putting a paper in the
doorway. one half inside and the other
half outside of the room, and closing the
door over it, the two persons can easily
stand upon it and still be beyond each
others reach.
2. To 90 out OF the room with two legs,
and come in with six. Not difficult if one
thinks to bring chair along on his return
3. To act the dumb servant. The per-
son who has the forfeit to pay must act out
the answers to the questions put by the
master of the ceremonies; "How do yOu
make breadP" etc. This forfeit will cause

4. Put one hand where the other can
not touch it. One can get out of this dil-
ficulty by putting one hand on the elbow
of the other arm.
5. Place pencil on the floor so that
one cannot Jump over it. May be done by
putting it close to the wall of the room.
6. Pat IL question that no one Can an

WORTH THINKING ABoUT.-One of the
most efectual ways of plea ing and OF
making oneself loved is to be cheerful; ; joy
softens more hearts than tears.
Our customs and habits are like the ruts
in roads; the wheels Of life settling into
them, and we jog along through the mire
because it is too much trouble to get out
of it.
To him who thinks a thing is sinful it is
sinful, though it may not be sinful to his
neighbor. Many man is doing right, and
is SHINING in doing it, because he is violat-
ing his own conscience-not any natural
law or custom, but simply going against
his own conscience.
A wealthy man one day displaying his
jewels to philosopher, the latter said,
"rhank you, sir, for being willing to share
such magnificent jewels with me-" "Share
them with you. sirP' exclaimed the man
"What do you mean?" "Why, you allow
me to look at them; and what more can
you do with them yoursefP' replied the
philosopher.
Only sensitive and sympathetic nature
can tell just where intrusiveness begins, so
as to avoid its very first approach, We
can all, however, improve in this respect
by cultivating our perceptions and sym
pathies so as to enter somewhat into the
consciousness of other people. No one de
iiberaely intends 10 become an intruder
or bore, but many actually do so from
selfish and careless disregard of the feel
ings of others and an utter Ignorance of
the way in which their conduct affects
those who view it from an outside stand
point

There. before child is born. a young man
will ask the prospective father for the

child proves to be girl, he is bound to
support her until she is of marriagebIe
age. If, however, son is born, the sup
port of both mother and son devolvs upon
the hapless youth who has made the mar

only among the rich, and Major Pinto

Instructive AND AMUSING. A simple
magic lantern, from the construction and
use of which good deal of instruction
and amusement may be derived during
unemployed evenings is described in the
Scientific American. A small box, a
kerosene lamp with an argand burner, a
little fish globe filled with pure water, and
q common double or piano convex lens are
all the materials necessary to make it. A
hole is bored in the top of the box to
permit the chimney Of the lamp to pass
through, and allow the heat and the prod
ucts of combustion to escape. In the side
of the box round hole IS cut large enough
to admit portion of the globe, which is
suspended inside the box close to the lamp.
piece of common window glass is then
moistened with strong solution of soda,
and placed on stand or clip 50 that the
light from the lamp will be focused upon
it by the globe. The image of glass will
thus be thrown upon "a screen when the
lens is properly adjusted. The formation
of the crystals of the sulphate of soda will
be seen clearly on the screen. and appear
like the magical growth of forest Any
ingenious family can readily devise great
number of interesting experiments with
this inexpensive lantern.

THE WAY PLATE GLASS is MADE.-To
cast, roll, polish, and burnish plate glass
requires mnphn1Iy uf puuuii.tr consul uC.
ton, and a plant that is costly by ron
son of its complex nature. The pouring
of liquid glass from the furnace upon the
castiron plates, and the subsequent roll
ing, are processes comparatively simple.
ANY housekeeper who has used rolling
pin on batch of pie-crust dough, performs
AN operation very similar to this stage of
plate glass making. 1t is the succeeding
processes of grinding and polishing and
final furnishing that require time and cost
ly mechanism. After leaving the rolls
and bed plate the glass is rippled and
rough, and only fit for gratings or sky
lights. Each plate must be transferred to
machines that resemble the turn tables OF
a raj way. On the revolving platform the
glass is cemented into - bed of plaster of
Paris, and the machine started. Bearing
heavily on the surface of the glass are
blocks of metal, and while in motion the
surfaces are kept supplied with sharp sand
and constant stream Of water. The next
stage of glass grinding process is the same
as to machinery, but instead of sand coarse
emery is used. The finer emery is used
in another revolving table, and So on for
half dozen times. The final polishing is
done by heavy reciprocating devices, fed
with rouge. and maintaining constant
back and forward motion, and also lateral
movement over the surface of the crystal.
All this requires the assistance of large
force OF men. many of them skilled labor
ers. After going through these different
grindings and polishing the plate that
measured an inch in thickness is only

Amusement in itself is real need which
always makes itself felt, and in Sc me way
or other is sure to get supplied. 1t is not,
as some suppose, sort of superhuous lux

until all other advantages are secured; it
is rather deepseated necessity, which in
all circumstances must and will be salts

more than the rich but all need it, and

AFTER THE BURIAL.

Not ours the verdict to decide
Whom death shall claim or skill shall save;
The heroes life though heaven denied
1t gave our land martyrs grave.
Nor count the teaching vainly sent
How human hearts their grief may SHARE
The lesson womau's love has lent
What hope may do, what faith can bear!
Farewell ! the leaf strown earth enfolds
Our stay. our pride, our hopes our fears,
And autumn's golden sun beholds
nation bowed, world in tears.
