The Baby Smile.

whether man or woman Is any
richer for having beautiful smile, may
be mooted point; but one thing Ger
tain, the world is richer for it There is
nothing more potent for good; no such
inestimable blessing to others, as the
warm, intelligent smile. Every one,
probably, Can recall some one whose
smile seems to open the paradise of
loving heart, and invite admission. And
yet such smiles are rare, scarcely one
person in hundred reaching the acme
of perfection in this respect. The per-
son who smiles is not always laughter.
Indeed, the smile is not the true indica-
ton of humor at all. 1t rather reveals
the genial and loving qualities of the
heart. The person who smiles may also
laugh, but it is because he combines
sense of humor with the warmth of
genialty. The person is not only blest,
but blessing, who combines the two.
Perhaps nothing in all the world is SO
beautiful as the smile of child. Only
grave babies smile. The majority of
them bubble over in such madcap
laughter, the remembrance of it is catch
ing. But the recollection of the grave
baby's smile seems somehow to bring
the tears to ones eyes. The parting Of
the beautiful lips, the revealment of the
white teeth closed, the slow emergence
into life of the coy and half reluctant
dimples and-note this (not the brighten
ing of the eyes, but the slumbrous depth
of inner feeling revealed by the softening
and hanging over of these luminous
windows of the gentle, reticent and low
ing young spirit. Wilnans.

The Conveyance of Steam.

The conveyance to long distances of
steam for power or heating purposes has
long been problem with engineers, and
its use has, in many instances, been dis
carded for compressed air. In fact, the
measure of the distance to which steam
may be carried with economy is not yet
determined. A suggestion is now made
by which owners of establishments in
which steam is largely used might effect
q large saving by concentrating their
boilers in one place adjacent to railroad
station, or to the shore, or even con-
structing q large central boiler, where
their coal may all be landed and used
without carriage, and thence distributing
the steam to their several works. The
difficulty has always been to find coat
ing for steam pipes absolutely preventing
the radiation of heat, and, according to
the Boston Journal Of. Commerce, such
q covering may now be prepared. 1t is
made OF four parts Of coal ashes sifted
through riddle of four meshes to the
inch, one part calcined plaster, one part
of -four, and one part fire clay. Mix
the ashes and fire clay together to the
thickness Of thin mortar, in a mortar
trough mix the calcined plaster and
-four together, dry, and add it to the
ashes and clay as you want to use 1t ;
put it on the pipes in two coats, accord
ing to the size Of the pipes. For six
inch pipe put on the first coat about one
and one-quarter inches thick the second
coat wpnts to be about half an inch
thick. 0Afterward finish the outside with
hard finish, the same as is applied to
plasterinR on o wall.

KauAaa RrnfAinG II.

"While was in Topeka last winter"
said the Hon. Arthur Edgington, 81
had pretty rough time of it. I got
bad cold, and, then that not being suffic-
iently severe, I was also attacked with
rheumatism. The pain was in my left
shoulder. At times / almost writhed in
agony. I tell you, sir, that the pain
could not have been greater had my
shoulder been screwed up in wise. I
was utterly helpless, and felt like I was
destined to remain in that condition in
definitely. My friends and a physician
were generous in their prescriptions and
my room soon became q miniature
apothecary shop. But nothing did me
any good. One day some one told me I
was enduring great deal of needless
pain when I could invest fifty cents in a
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil and be cured.
I invested in bottle Of the Oil, rubbed
it on my shoulder twice, and in two
days forgot that ever had rheumatism.
Yes, that is great remedy, and no
mistake. They can't say too much in
favor of its healing power"
The above was uttered by Mr.. Edging-
ton while sitting in the porch of the La
Gonda House, at Columbus, the other
evening, and was overheard by an es-
capped reporter, who is travelling over
the country incog. Inquiry developed
the fact that Mr.. Edgington is one OF
the most widely known men in Kansas,
figuring prominently in politics, and
acting as the responsible agent Of the
Bradstreet Commercial Agency. Upon
subsequently making Mr.. Edgington's
acquaintance the reporter was assured
that all he had heard was true, and he
was at liberty to use it in the papers,

Old Trees.

The ages attained by some of the
conifere are scarcely less extraordinary
than their colossal bulk. The greatest
longevity assigned to any tree is perhaps
credited to the celebrated taxodium of
Chapultepec, in Mexico, III feet in cir
cumference, which is thought by De
Candolle to exceed in age the baobab of
Senegal, inferred to be 5150 years old.
Goeppert states that Iarodiup disti-
chuns has been ascertained by its annu-
lar rings to live 1000 years. The man.
moth tree has been estimated to live
1000 years in California. De Candolle
quotes number of instances of longevity
in the yew, and Endlicher considers one
in Derbyshire to be 2,096 years old, and
the one at Grasford, in North Wales,
], 400 years old. The pines, cypress, frs.
larches and cedars are credited with
ages Of 200, 800 and even 500 years.
Picea 200 feet in height is mentioned by
Goeppert, as ascertained by its annular
rings, to be AGO years old, and a lark of
120 feet to be 576 years old. The Scotch
pine Pinus sylvestus) is said to require
200 years to mature its timber to perfec-
ton. In Veitch's Manual of the Conifer@
the ages Of some Of these are stated at
considerably less. Other examples Of
longevity greater than 500 years are
mentioned. These are Cedras deodara,
750 to 900 years; cedar of Lebanon, 900
to 800 years. Il is important, however,
to recognize the fact that rings of growth
are not in all cases trustworthy guides,
and the subject is still involved in some
obscurity. The rings of growth in
eucalyptus have been ascertained to be
