Inc DOlllng-pOlnt OF nQu10S is a1IereO
by various circumstances. Water, with
common salt In it, requires greater heat
to make it boil than pure water. In
glass vessel the boiling point is several
degrees higher than in one of metal.
But what most affects the boiling point
is variation of pressure. When the
barometer stands at thirty inches, show
ing an atmospheric pressure of fifteen
pounds on the square inch, the boiling
point of water Is 212 degrees. When
part of the pressure is removed, it boils
before coming to 212 degrees, and when
the pressure is increased the boiling
point rises. Thus in elevated positions,
where there Is less air above the liquid
TO press on it, the boiling point is lower
than at the level of the sea. An eleva-
vation of $40 feet makes diminution of
one degree Fahrenheit; at higher levels
the difference of elevation corresponding
to degree of temperature In the boil
ing point increases and method is
thus furnished of measuring the height.
of mountains. At the city of Mexico,
YAH feet above the level of the sea,
water boils at 1913. deg. at Quito, 8, ,541
feet, at 1914 deg; In the Himalayas, at
the height of $4,000 feet, at 180 deg.
Boiling water is thus not always equally
hot, and IN elevated places many sub
stances cannot be cooked by boiling.
Under the receiver of an air-pump water
may be made to boil at the temperature
of summer. and ether when colder than
ice. BY increasing the pressure water
may be heated to any degree without
boiling. There are one or two interest
ing experiments mentioned by DIR. Bar
nard. IF a small quantity of water be
poured into silver basin heated above
the boiling-point, but below redness, it
will begin to boil violently, or perhaps
burst into steam at once. But if the
basin is heated to redness, the water will
gather itself into globule, and roll
about on the hot surface without coming
to the boiling point. 1t is remarkable
that water which has been freed from
air by long boiling has its boiling point
much raised and it has been known to
reach 275 degrees Fahrenheit without
boiling. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

MILLING 20 work.

If girls marry the men they love even
though they are poor, they must be
willing to work for them, and thus do
their share in sustaining the prosperity
OF the firm. They should certainly know
how to cook-and they ought to be
ashamed to marry any such man until
they have learned the art of cooking.
For such a girl to marry such man
would be neither more nor less than a
social fraud, unless she shall before en-
gagement inform him fully of her igno-
rance on this subject It is well, then,
to have these schools of cookery to which

girls, whose mothers have not taught
them the art, cantgo and learn-and we
hope the day is near at hand when girls
that are candidates for matrimony will
pride themselves more on their ability
TO cook good dinner than on their
ability to dance, sing, play or waste
time In any agreeable way. The ideal
girl, the consumptive, tight-laced, party
going, piano playing, French-ta talking,
fashionable girl, can be no proper wife
for poor man. This. language the
girls may think unkind, but it is not.
1t is better for girls that are not fitted
to be poor mans wife to remain with
their parents than to become such. u
will be better for their lovers, too, and
better for society.

TENGEANCE OF THE RROWNIE
KING.

81 Ruth ARGYLE.
The King Of the Brownies came down
In a very wonderful crown
And wearing terrible frown.
The witch-hazel scepter he shook
While strides most tremendous he toolc
And about him quite fiercely did look i.
Right royal his robes silver sheen,
All cleaning with jewels was seen,
etwrathful enough was his mien.
Ha, la. he exclaimed with shout,
..Carousingyou are, I've no doubt,
Nor dream yOU Of being found out
He laughed in his mischievous glee,
~Your pratlks in 4 trice will see;
All, what a c6mmotion theren be"
He came 70 q cave large and deep,
just then in the mountain side steep.
And in through creviee did peep.
His eye in the cavern could hace
The gleara- -ef each brownies sssird iaee,
Afar through the moonighted space.
All. me! what a frohc was there,
And a feast Of daiuties most rare,
What could with that banquet compare?
such dsneingan prancing for fun,
such rolling and tumbing were dohe3
What goblins they looked every ohe'
And, ali he beheld al dismayed,
His effigy, too, there displayed,
In rags and in tags all srrayed.
The King shrieked in anger aloud,
And dire WAS the vengeance he vowed;
He'd wreak on that roilieking crowd!
''Since you Ike your frohekng 50,
Your forms shall your characters snow,
AS monkeys hereafter you'll 60.
Your faces alone you may keep,
On hands and feet too you shall creep
Behind you long tail shall sweep
- And il much you wander about,

The secret of Advertising.

Some merchants use but very little
judgment in advertising So long as
they have an cad. in some paper, and
paying for it, they think it is sufficient,
and trust to luck for the consequences.
They shut their eyes and discharge their
gun in the air, and wait for the game to
drop. They are for duck and get crow:
Advertising requires as much good
Judgment rs any other part of mer-
chant s business. Judicious advertising
always pays There are some business
men who seldom advertise, and they are
always complaining about their trade.
They treat advertising as the impro-
yident, shiftless persons do roofs. When
the sun shines they do lot need patch
ing; and when it rains they can not
patch them. When trade is fair, they
see no need of advertising; and wheE
trade is dull they say they can not afford
to advertise. Moral: Repair leaky
roof when it is fair weather, and adver,
tise in all seasons. Advertising pays all
parties interested better than any other
commercial investment.

Comforts Of Modern Travel.

The companies which run palace
parlor and sleeping cars over our rail
roads have made good thing out of the
public They are now talking Of con-
soldating their interests and thus form
ing greater monopoly than they have
enjoyed. Their cars are in many respects
such convenience that the public
cheerfully pay the ,.exorbitant prices
charged for accommodation in them.
Yet there are several respects in which
these vehicles can be improved. When
Steering cars were first introduced the
ordinary cars were far less comfortable
than now, both In the shape of their
seats and the softness OF their cushions.
The ordinary cars have been improved
in such extraordinary ways that many of
them are now quite as desirable as either
the sleepers or the drawing-room cars.
In most cases the upholstery of the
sleeping car is too stuffy in appearance
and too heavy Ia texture. The slumber-
ing passenger is Surrounded by curtains
of such substantial material as to shut
nearly all the fresh air from his couch,
The arrangements for furnishing light
at night are bad 1t is trae that we do
not need much light to goto sleep by.
But the curtains shut out the. glare from
sleepy eyes so effectualfy that there is
no need for the total or almost total
eclipse,of the. lamps which takes place
soon after bedtime This darkness is in.
the interest of sly thieves who want to
help themselves, to pocket-books and
other portables which unwary passengers
stow under pillows. He who would
wash his face and hands on a cold morn
ing finds total lack of warm water for
his comfort. Even if there are tender
babes on the car they must be washed
in ice-cold water. A coil of pipe passed
around the heating apparatus and at
tached to special reservoir would
provide all the hot water passengers
could need. The expense of such re-
servoir and its spigot would be but
trifing
In the parlorcars, which are furnished
with chairs, most of the chairs are too
high IN the seat, too straight in the back
and too much like the official chairs OF
Magistrates orlthe thrones of Kings and
Emperors. A low and easy chair, with
its back SO shaped as to be- easy to re-
cline in, would be incomparably better,
even if it had not half as much carving
or varnish ON it. Yet with all their
faults, the palace epsd parlors are boon,
even if an expressive one, to the travel
ing community. .-PhiladetphiG Times.

Mr.. II. M. Whitney then read, as
Chairman of the Committee on cult
vation, its report. The report dealt
in a tentative way with the problems
that were before the Planter in this
line. More than half the cane
planted is on unploughcd lands or
lands only ploughed to a depth of 6
inches. Steam-ploughs do the
rest but are too extensive for
small holdings. Lahaina cane is the
best, but is dctcriorating in some
places. New healthy seed is the
remedy for this. New varieties
should be introduced from other
lands and a nursery for them cstol :
lishcd. Ookala Plantation has al
ready done this, and obtained
one good variety. Col. Austin of
Paukaa has tried fertilizers and re-
commcnds their use in quantities of
about 1000 lbs. to the acre. The
introduction of chemist was sup
ported. About $4,000 or 28,000
acres are cropped every year.
Planters should get statistics ready
for the coming year. A valuable
and interesting discussion followed,
in which Mr.. w. II. Bailey, Col.
Spalding, Mr.. IIannabcrg, Mcssrs.
Alexander d Baldwin, w. O.

report was received and ordered to
