Vibration in Buildings.

1t is easy to understand how a mill or
factory may tremble or vibrate with its
own machinery; thatit will also vibrate
to the motion of other objects, outside
and removed from it, is more difficult to
understand. Yet this is fully proved by
observers. 1t is on the principle by
which note struck on the piano will
sometimes cause other objects in the
room, say brass medallion in a cabi-
net, to tinkle in response. The piano
wire itself will respond when its key
note is struck. Other vibrations are not
always audible, because they may lie
outside of the range of the human ear.
Synchronous vibration has come to be
quite study in the construction of
mills; the jar of their own machinery is
not all that has to be provided Tor.
Some apparently tritling causes vibra-
ting outside will not only add to the
strain upon the building, but may act
ually interfere with the steady working
of looms, etc., causing breakages and
stoppages. Mr.. G. j. H. Woodbury. re-
lates some instances of this in recent
book on mill construction At one of
the print works at North Adams, Mass,
new and unoccupied building was
found to vibrate in consequence of the
putting of small steam engine sixty
feet away. AT Comfortable, r. l., it has
been necessary to change the height of
the column of water flowing over the
dam to prevent the excessive vibration
of the adjacent mill At Amesbury,
Mass, out of eleven mills that are near
the river two vibrate when water in GER
tain quantities flows over the dam, but
the tremor can be wholly stopped by
changing the flow of water. The most
frequent cause of vibration is due to the
running of the machinery, and it has
repeatedly happened that complete
cessation has been obtained by increas-
ing or lessening the speed at which the
machinery is run This is not always
profitable or possible, and the fact that
this vibration results in loss of power
variously estimated at from ten to twen-
ty per cent, is strong argument in
favor of the construction of one story
mills, which would necessarily vibrate
much less than factories having a height
of six or eight stories. -PhiLa. Ledger.

The.voice spoke again: " You know
that you are not coming this way for
nuts, but for grapes; you tried 60 de-
ceive Freddy as to your motive. but he
was not deceived, and because he saw
your real motive, and told you of it, you
became angry, and spoke GROSSLY, and
shook him; you have added sin to sin.
And all because. you have forgotten
your verse" And just then Nelly re-
membered.
Her verse for the day had been,
lead us not into temptation, but de-
liver us from evil" She had promised
her mother to think of it during the
day. And before an hour had passed
she had quite forgotten it.

and you could have all the grapes you
wanted, and then you wouldn't want
to go TO Nancy Lewis so much. She
is cross, naughty girl, and she makes
you CROSS, too. That's all.
Nelly put down her books and the
pail, and knelt down in the road and
flung her arms around her little brother.
You dear little forgiving thing!' she
said, hugging Freddy tightly to her.
THAT'S all-that's enough, think.
I've been rs mean as mean can be-
And Pm ashamed, Freddy May; and

And there with her arms around
Freddy, Nelly prayed for forgiveness
and help; and, rising to her feet, she
took Freddy, books, lunch pail and all,
up in her stout arms, and carried them
back to the turn where the Mill road
branched off from the pike.

Freddy down and famed her bot cheeks

mond to surrender The most success
full men do not win their victories by
words. I'VE often hear: WO, IT'S easy
to lalkB The minister knew how easy
wien he told his congregational do az
he said, pot as he did. Everything
worth having in this world is the price
of some sort of labor. Labor not for
the meat that perisheth, but for that
which endureth unto eternal life"
In the above connection we are led to
consider the value OF time, and the rep
rehensibility of those VINO infringe
upon, or waste the time of others.
Something is due to courtesy. and the
maintaining of friendly relations; but
all this requires 'etA1stleiAte attention
for others, consideration for their time
and duties. There are people in the
world who never seem to have anything
to do, and no special obiectbin life.
They answer to swell the census ac-
count; perhaps to educate others in pa
tience, like flies and mosquitoes but
really such remedies seem worse than
most diseases. They seem like those
people whom a Swedenborgian lady re-
marked would never come up. Why
should they? They never did anything
when they were, up.n This accorded
with an idea of the resurrection, and
we confess to having some sympathy
with it at certain times. Boarding
house ladies, as a rule, are, great
MASTERS, not only of their own time, but
that of others They seem to regard it
as a something to be disposed Of and
forgotten as soon as possible; but re-
member that the whole human family
are served alike in this matter, and that
each must give account for himself.
What we might have been, under the
circumstances is what we are required
to be. We have no right to waste our
own time in Just view of the subject;
but for this we are the losers, and must
give an account for ourselves. When
we waste anothers time, we defraud
him of a portion of his property as truly
as if we took a well-iilled purse from his
pocket. Have we right 70 exclude air
and sunshine from another, because it is
free to all? Do the moon and the stars
shine for us only? Shall we say to an
other: $50 much shalt thou have, and
no moreP" Dr. Gregory. of our Agri-
cultural College, once said: "All true
study must be solitary" Ii this be so,
how many true students do we have?
Of all the treasures vouchsafed US by
kind Heaven, this of time is one of the
richest and most sacred. Let us use and
not abuse it. - Chicago Interior.

How to Travel.

Travelling in our country is both COM
Portable and agreeable, il The traveller
will pay attention to few directions.
| suppose, dear little friends, that you
have seen fussy and fidgety people on
the road, who made themselves and
other people unhappy by their behav-
Tor. The cars were too warm or too
cold, the locomotive was going too fast
or too slow, they feared the baby in the
next seat had the whooping-cough. or
they were sure there would be collis-
ion. Ii on the water, they were in ter
ror lest the engineer was racing, and
the uneasiness they felt made them
wretched.
Now, my dears, listen to me. When
you go on journey you are pass
enger; your ticket is paid for; and as
you are neither captain, pilot, con-
ductor. nor engineer, give yourself no
trouble about the way car or boat is be-
ing managed. Never take responsible
by that does not belong to you.
The old Romans used to call baggage
impedimenta. They tried to have as
little of it as they could when on a
march. Unless you are going to stay
long time, take no more luggage than
is necessary. A little handbag or a
shaw-strap, with perhaps an umbrella,
is all that young traveller should have
to care for on a journey.
When you purchase your ticket, if no
older friend is with you to attend to the
checking of your trunk, you must see
to it yourself This is very simple.
Go with your ticket to the place to
NUh oh hn hoS 70
trunk, show your ticket to the baggage
master, and he will attach check to
your goods, and give you one pre-
cisely like it. You must put this away
in place where you can get at it con
veniently, as you must return it to the
steamer or railway company when you
claim your property.
Never tuck your ticket out of sight or
into some QUITO f-the-way pocket Have
it ready to show the conductor when
ever it is called for.
A little girl is sometimes uncertain
what to do about her money if she is
travelling with II gentleman. For in
stance, Eda is going to visit Angelina,
and at the station in New York she is
met by Angeline's brother Dick. She
does not wish him to purchase her tick
Ell, but she feels awkward about Offering
him the money to pay for it.
The proper thing for Eda is to hand
her pocket-book to Mr. Dick, and re-
quest him to take from it the amount
of hel fare. The pleasantest way, if
the journey be a long one, would be for
Eda's papa to give her escort sufficient
sum to pay all her expenses.
People ON journey should not be
selfish. Nobody should take two seats
when only entitled to one. Two or
three merry boys and girls travelling to-
gether should be careful not to laugh
and talk so loudly that they annoy 9TH
ers. Ladies and gentlemen never do
this. You can have deal of fun with
out being conspicuous.
Never neglect chance to do kind
ness to an aged or feeble person. Moth
ing is more beautiful ON the road than
courtesy from the young to those who
are old or in trouble.-HGrper's Young
