Richards Benevolence,

Richard was given ten cents by his
kind aunt to put into the contribution
box. Now Richard was a very Thought
full lad. He was very fond Of lozenges,
and on his way to church it cccaffed to
him that perhaps some of The boys in
heather lands might also be fond of loz-
enges. As he neared the iapothecary
shop the thought grew upon him, and
when he had reached the shop door he
had concluded that it would be selfish
in one having his advantages for acquir-
ing lozenges not to use them for the
benefit of the lozengeless boys in lands
where apothecary shops do not abouTta.
So he entered and purchased two rolls
of lozenges, and then proceeded on his
way to church. When the box came
around, Richard put two lozenges into
it for the poor heathen lads. Not only
did he thus make these benighsed child
rem happy, but he also had all the loz-
enges he wanted to eat during church
time, and money enough left to buy
more. Few boys would have thought Of
the far-away heathen lads If they had
all the lozenges they wanted themselves,
they would not have cared if the sons Of
heathendom never got somuch as taste
of candy. Boston Transcript.

To Dance Innocently.

Following is an interview with . New
York dancing-master:
"What is your idea of the modern
mode Of support in round dancinge"
'.My idea is that, as it is seen at public
balls and Long Branch hops, it is most
inelegant, ill-Dred, immodest, and un-
necessary. a lady who dances well and
gracefully maintains her Independence
of motion and q perfect balance. The
moment she becomes clinging vine,
and allows her head to rest on a mans
shoulder, and his arm toembrace instead
of support her, she shows not only 2
shocking lack of refinement, but Of good
dancing, land impedas her partner smove-
ments as well as her own.n
"What do you consider proper sup
portP"
s.The gentleman should take the lady's
right hand in his left, and she place her
right hand upon his shoulder. the fingers
appearing in front. The gentleman
should rest his right hand gently upon
the lady's back, near the waist, and both
should stand on parallel lines, looking
over the others right shoulder. the lady
turning her head slightly to the left.
Both should bend the upper part Of the
person slightly, SO that the shoulders
should not be more than four inches
apart, and the hands that are clasped
should remain only few inches from
the person, not allowing the wild stick
ing out Of the arms recently adopted. In
this grouping there is no more contact
of person than lady taking a gentle
mans arm for walking. But to put the
whole matter in nutshell. the vicious
waltz vulgarly and viciously, the inno-
cent and refined in refined and inno-
cent manner
s'Among what nation do you find the
best dancerspn
Forty years observation and expert.
ence has led me to conclude that Ameri.
can women are the best dancers in the
world. The Germans are very correct
and easy, but not graceful: the Englisf
put too much struggle into 1t; the French
are inclined to angularity; but the Ameri

man, written many years ago, is now
printed for the first time by the London

The Ice-Makers.

! An Atlanta Correspondent OF the
Hartford Times says: We have visited
the establishment of the Georgia Ice
Company, where the manufacture Office
was certainly as interesting as anything
we have seen. On the ground floor is
boiler fifty feet long and four and
half feet in diameter, containing 100
feet of three and o half inch pipe. The
boiler is kept filed with aqua ammonia.
which is separated by the steam heat
into ammonia-gas and water. The gas
leaving the water in the boiler, forces its
way through six-inch pipe outside the
building to the roof, four stories up,
where it passes into $4,000 feet of coiled
pipes, in which it is converted into
LIQUID by cold water thrown over it in
fountain Jets. This liquid passes into
$1,000 feet of two-inch pipe arranged in
vertical sections thirty feet high and
three feet apart, and its sudden liberia
ton into these pipes turns the liquid
pure ammonia into vapor, and the sud
den expansion makes the pipes intense
" cold. Now, above these hundreds OF
vertical pipes are innumerable little
fountain jets throwing spray all over
the pipes, the spray freezing gradually.
forming an icicle of pure ice around
each pipe. The gas next goes into TO-
900 feet of absorbing pipe, and. being
cooled by water running on the pipes,
it is met by water forced into the pipes,
! and thus converted back into aqua am
monia, which goes into big boiler and
is used over again-there is no waste,
the same ammonia being used and re-
absorbed any number Of times. The
water used for the spray is drawn from
well rs feet deep on the premises, and
sthe large blocks Of ice (Which are loos-
ened from the pipes by a little hot steam.
and chopped off by negroes, who stand
upon pulley staging with their feet
wrapped up in thick swabs of cotton
sacking for warnth) came out pure and
clear, and entirely free from any odor or
Objectionable taste.
After the pipes have been stripped
| about five weeks are required for a new
lot of the requisite thickness to form.
| But of course the pipes are never all
stripped at the same time, the ice being
in all stages of formation. The factory
has q capacity of thirty-five tons per
day. but twenty tons keep pace with the
demand, and it isn't stored, but cut ev-
ery day as it is delivered, and sells al
from $40 to $12 per ton. AS we picked
our way among the cleaning and un-
even pillars, with the water dripping
and splashing down upon US, and the
only light coming in through the small.

fsrssL


n AiH'uVs % H'gs.. .: Rain Of A@sr''..
The rery necessities Of their sitpsfion
have aroused the people OF some of our
Western States 70 action. In Kansas,
Nebraska and other States liberal pre-
miums have been offered for the encour-
agement Of tree planting, and already
in many portions Of the prairie region
perceptible change has taken place. and
the eye no longer wanders over. great
spaces without sight Of shrub o. Tree
Minnesota has her Forestry Association,
and its Secretary reports that between
seven and ten millions Of trees were
planted in that State during the year
1877, of which more than half a million
were planted in n single day, "Arbor
Day, ,"'as it is called, or tree planting
day, the first day Of May having been
fixed as the day. and every ownerof land
invited to devote the day especially to
the planting of trees. Efforts have been
made in other states which are similarly
situated in respect to q supply of forest
trees. The great railway companies,
whose roads stretch across the treeless
prairies, have become in some instances
large planters of trees, feeling the need
of them, both as screens from the Rocky
Mountains and as source of supply for
the ties which are constantly needing
renewal.
Tree planters manuals are published
and distributed freely, with a view to
aid those who would plant by giving
them the experience already obtained in
regard 10 the most profitable trees to
plant and the best method of planting.
Thus in some places there is already
quite movement in the right direction.
In the reports of planting the figures
make an imposing aggregate: But q
liberal discount needs to be madefor the
probable failure of a large percentage
of the trees planted. And even with the
most generous estimate in regard to the
work of planting, what is accomplished
as vet is but fraction of what needs to
be done. 1t is but the feeble beginning
of vast work. The talk is of millions
of trees planted. This sounds well. But
good many trees can stand upon an
acre, and the latest estimates put the
annual decrease of our forest area at "
| 600, 900 acres. So that Minnesota, with
all her ardorin this work, has only plant
| ed one tree for every acre of trees des-
troyed. An area equal to the State of
Maryland is every year swept clean OF
its trees. This is large section to be
taken yearly out of our forest resources.
With all that we are yet doing in the
way of tree planting. the balance is large.
ly against us. With all the interest and
energy manifested by the young West
on this subject, stimulated by her most
pressing need, we are only planting one
acre while thirty-fve are laid bare by
ak and by fire. And we must consider
also that the work of destruction goes
on at an increasing rate from year to
year as our population and our indus
tries increase, and that the trees which
are felled are the product, on the aver
age, Of more than century's growth
while those we plant must grow during
century before they can fill their place

Poisoned Thread.

A dressmaker admitted into the Leeds
dispensary. in England, was found to
have distinct blue line on her gums,
with simultaneous symptoms, such as q
furred tongue, inflammation of the lips.
and general debility-all signs pointing
to the probability of poisoning by lead.
The doctor in attendance on her for
some time failed to discover the source,
and was beginning to think the blue
line had been caused in some other way,
when he accidently learned from mef-
chant that silken thread, being sold by
weight. and not by length, is sometimes
aduIterated with sugar of lead. He then
questioned the patient, and she informed
him that it had been common practice
with her, when at work, to hold silk, as
well as other kinds of thread, in her
mouth, and that she had done this the
more readily with the silk, inasmuch as
it often had sweet taste. The charac-
teristic is q sure indication of the pres
ence of lead, and all thread possessing
it should either be rejected or used with
caution. 1t will be found that the silk
thread of the best makers is tasteless,
whereas some inferior threads are sweet.

true they will sooner forgive foolishness
than ill-manners, but you will, of course,
avoid both. We know one young gem
tleman of great promise, who adopted
the opinion that in order to qualify him
self for female society, he had only tc
become as foolish as possible while il
their presence. The young man soor
lost the favor of all whose friendship
might nave operated as restraint; but
unwilling to associate with the despics-

chose the bottle for companion, ard
made himself, and the few friends -
had, miserable.
