CHEMISTRY.

+ AL bodies are composed Of elements
or bodies, that have never been decom
posed. Chemists have discovered over
sixty elements, large per cent OF which
are very rare, and of no value to our
present purpose.
e5 We shall now consider only sixteen, q
9 number sufficient to illustrate the lead
ing principles of chemistry. These six.
teen elements are twelve'solids and four
gases. ii @
The solids are iron, lead, potassium,
sodium, ammonium, calcium, magnesi-
UNI, aluminium carbon, silicon, sulphur,
and PHOSPHORUS. The four gases are
oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and chic
rine. Some of the solids are metallic
substances, and were known and used
in the early history of mankind some
five Thousand years before the four gases
were recognized as actual existances,
Tubal Cain, of the seventh generation
from Adam, was worker in iron and
Some scientists suppose that the earth
was, myriads Of years ago, an immense
metallic bail, and that its long exposure
to caloric, oxygen and water, had grad
ually produced wonderful changes in its
surface, 80 that now the earth is covered
with water, rocks, and soils. These
forces caloric, oxygen, and water--are
even now acting upon its surface. CAL
oric, or the force that produces heat, is
constantly distributing itself among par
ticles of matter. Mountains and oceans
still hold an immense amount of it.
Trustworthy chemists tell us that
four-tenths, or nearly one-half, of all
things upon the surface of the earth is
oxygen. This gas, then, must be a
mighty force. Few materials can exist
without it, and few materials can escape
its destructive power. 1t is o positive
force. Cold means the comparative lack
Of caloric. Caloric passes from one
body to another, If two bodies contain
different degrees of heat or different
quantities Of caloric, the hotter one
gradually yields caloric to the cooler,
either by direct contact or by radiation.
Place the hand upon block of warm
iron, and Theron gradually yields caloric
to the hand. A. hot body is constantly
radiating caloric to the cooler. .a.
Water may not be in itself force, as
caloric and oxygen are, but it aids the
forces in their composing and decompos-
ing power. These three, forces, then,
are the leading ones that have from the
outset of creation been constantly pro-
ducing changes on the surface Of the
ear tn. fs..t,,f, s--,a aEt gu ....-.. .

A Question Of Worth.

Hochstein spent six months drawing
insects for Agassiz to that naturalist's
delight. He spent more years studying
planets with paint and brush than you

"Why is it, said woman struggling
for existence and professional footing
as ahartist, "Blank, the publisher, pays
Hochstein $25 for drawing, not larger
than my hand, of few flowers, while
he tells me he cannot afford to take my

Hareills.

Owing to the nature of the Institution.
our knowledge of harem life is entirely
derived from the visits of European
ladies. The Turkish authorities, it must
be confessed, are very amiable in this
respect, and little difficulty IS experi-
enced when the introductions are good.
The Turk is commonly belived to be a
sort of Bluebeard. 1t is not so. Polyg-
amy is not the rule, but the exception.
The lower classes never have more man,
one wife, and it is only in the case OF
wealthy Pashas that there are three or
four wives, the latter number being
legally allowed to every Mussleman ac-
cording to the Koran; this is exclusive
of almost any number of slaves and con.
cubines. The Husband must have no
acquaintance, however slight, with
women other than those of his own
harem, and, should he observe slippers
outside of the harem door, he knows
that ladies are visiting, and therefore
cannot enterhls own house. Then again
if perchance he strolls through the
bazaar, there must be no recognition of
any of his own women, although they
may be throwing away his money right
and left i'll most lavish way ON silks
and jewels. He must not say word.
and SO strokes his beard and passes on
with an "Iushallah" please God0, or
"Allah kerim' God is great and merci-
full; for now he knows only too well
how the money goes! European ladies'
are the objects of much attention and
curiosity On the part of the women of a
harem. Their dresses are felt, they are
paved all over, and asked childish uues-
tlons lncessantly; for it must be remem-
bered that large harem consists of
wives and domestic slaves, the latter
counted by hundreds. A young English
lady, II years old, of great personal at
fractions and engaging manners, some
time back visited harem accompanied
by her mother and friends. The women
questioned her, and would not believe
that she had ''no children, or even a
husband" One of the wives, who took
q great fancy to her, threw her arms
round her neck, and entreated her to
stay with them forever. She could have
any husband she liked, and even was so
kind as to especially recommend her
own, adding that she was sure he would
soon want another wife, and that She,
the real wife, wonld much rather it was
a NICE English girl, as then there would
always be the the pleasure of having her
as friend and companion. Here was
most decided offer. A firm refusal, how
ever, OF these honors caused much sur
prise and disappointment ..

Some or Lilies PICTURES.

l. There is a story told of nm old man
who had kept his kitchen fire always
alive for fifty years, and from tho day
when he first went to housekeeping, SO
that his wife might never have occasion,
to complain of having to skindle fire.
We know of young couple who
promised each other when til " married
that they would not both get angry at
the same time, for they had strong wills
and quick tempers, which were control
led only by the. love they had one for the
other. The effect of this resolution can
he traced to-day, although made twenty
years ago. Now they are seldom angry,
and when SO, the quiet patient forbear-
ance, exhibited has helped them to
almost overcome it entirely. 5'h
'Small matters" you'll say, Excepting
fire all the year round" and t'only the
husband or wife angry at once" Yes
they are; but the mustard seed was the
SMALLEST of all seed," and when grown,
'.becometh greater than all herbs, y
serving us shade for the fowls Of the
air to rest under. ''@
So does our influence spread out, and
reach further than We will ever know
here. 70 anticipate each others wants;
provide for them before they occur;
smooth the rough spots in the road of
life in anticipation, and before they are
reached, is the way to live happily.
Keep the fire on the hearth always alive;
when it is not blazing have the Goals
covered so that they will not go out; do
this not only literally but fgnratively;
keep all sweet and pleasant memories
alive; keep up the manifestations of af-
lection as, in your counting days. What
more, beautiful sight than that of two
aged people walking side by side the
downward slope of life's pathway toward
the setting sun, after spending fifty
years together. And the love they have
given each other has been so steady and
constant thst they have actually grown
to look alike We have, seen this
though seldom-and it always reminds
one of the eternal life, with its peaceful
serenity. ---- j = :. -

Definitions.

It is curious, the love some people
have OF definitions. They are the de.
light of persons who think, but whose
thinking has not gone great way. It
is not hard to understand why defni-
tons are in such favor. To begin with,
they save u good deal of trouble; it is
pleasant to know that we have the re-
suit Of much patient thought and care
ful investigation put up for our use in
neat, compact little bundle, easily port
able without fatigue. Definitions are
comprcssions of large truth into small
com pass, and it is plain that they may
be very useful things; but the difficulty
with them is that they are not always
trustworthy, and it is just this essential
point about them which the definition
lover is incompetent to decide. He
wants q sure rule of judgment in q
certain matter, because he himself does
not understand it we'll enough to do
without definition, or to make one for
himself. Oddly enough, he is often
ignorant of What definition is; he
needs, first of all, to have the meaning
of that word defined fer him. .r.

. A Jealous Bridegroom and an Exchange
--.------.-- at the Altar.

Two couples presented themselves at
the Mayoralty in a suburb of Paris to
carry out the civil portion Of their
marriage contract. During the cere-
mony one of the bridegrooms saw, or
fancied he saw, his, partner making
s'sheep eyes" at the other bridegroom.
He laid his hand roughly ON her arm
and said sharply ''Madamoiselle, which
Of the two brides are you? You are mine,
[ believe: then oblige me by combining
your chances to me-" The bride was a
young woman of spirit, and. resenting
the tone, retorted: ''Ah, Monsieur, if
you are jealous already, I am likely to
lead pleasant life with your The
jealous bridegroom made an angry re-
ply, and then the other bridegroom
must needs join in. This led to general
dispute, which the Mayor in vain en-
dtavored to quell. The bridegroom
stormed. and the brides, through their
hysterical sobs, accused each other of
'porfidy. At lei myth the Mayor adjourn
ed the ceremony for half an hour to
admit of an amicable understanding,
both brides having refused to proceed.
When, at the expiration of the half.
hour, the parties were summoned to re-
appear. the bridegrooms had literally
effected an exchange of brides. Adher-
ing to the new arrangement the Mayor
bound them rs husbands and wives.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

The manner in which Great Britain
obtained proprietary interest In the
Suez canal possesses interest at this
time. Egypt had taken large num-
ber of shares, and was unable to meet
her obligations upon them. Great
Britain, under the ministry of Lord
Beaconsfield, took these shares, or a
large part of them. That IL, she bought
l76, 702 shares out of 100000, rated at
f20 each, which make up the total
capital. For these she paid "a, ,0s0, 900,
or about $4,000, 900, and agreed fur
ther to receive but five per cent. in
terest on the investment until July l.,
1894, after which she is to receive a
pro rata dividend on the earnings.
Out of this five per cent. interest one
and One-half per cent. on the invest
ment Is annually set aside as a sink
ing fund to meet the debt raised to
purchase the shares. The receipts in
1881 represented more than twenty
five per cent. OH the whole capital of
forty million dollars, and these are in
creasing at the rate of two millions a
year. The income to England from
this investment will be very large;
but however great it may be, it
will be trifiing in comparison with the
incalculable benefit to English COM
merce arising from this artery ofcom-
municatiOn with India and China.

The following from the East Orego-

abouts of Frank james, the brother of
Jesse James, the notorious Missouri
outlaw:
It is a true incident that Frank
James, the notorious desperado, as he
is reported to be, was recognized, by a
former schoolmate, in Pendleton, a
short time since. He came to Oregon
to visit his uncle who is a resident of
Umatilla county. His old friend in
boyhood was glad to see the man that
is known the world over as the most
reckless man on the face Of the earth.
When asked what he was doing here
replied, every little Of anything" and
intimated that the destruction of the
Fordiboys was his object in life. He
spoke Of them having body guard
now, but before winter he promised Ia
furnish them with "clay guard"
He requested his friend, u prominent
citizen Of this county, not to call him
by his right name aud give him away.
He came to Pendleton In the night
aud left soon In the morning. We are
confident that there are men In Pen
dletom who talked with him. letter.
have been received by gentlemen ol
our acquaintance from his mother
who speaks affectionately Of her SOL
Frank, and seemed to hope that he
would avenge his brothers death.
There is no doubt that Frank james
has been driven to most desperate ol
deeds and III times he longs to be free
from restraint, but the great excite
ment he undergoes makes his life
worth living, and very interesting.
