A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.

II have told you," said Mr.. Dubious,
watching the great steam hammer in the
rolling MILL that a good Zimmerman can
break the crystal of watch with that thirty
ton hammer" eyes, sir" said the ham
norman. ait can be done" ~ should like

in his watch pocket 81 can do it, SIR" re-
piled the man. And will you ~ replied
Mr.. Dubious, drawing out his watch
Come, Tam anxious to see il tried" He
laid his watch on the great anvil plate. The
hammer rose up to its full height and the
next instant all its ponderous weight, with o
crushing force that shook the ground for an
acre round, came down on that watch.
"There sir" said the Zimmerman quietly,
"if You don't believe that crystal is broken,
just stoop down and you can see it sticking
to the hammer" Mr. Dubious swallowed a
whole procession of Jumps and gasps before
he could speak. "But forgot to say" he
exclaimed, "that it was to break the crystal
without injuring the watch" "Oh, yes"
said the Zimmerman; Eyes, / know I
have heard that rubbish myself, but it's all
Cannon. don't believe it can be done.
But you can break the crystal every time."--

AN INCUBATOR FOR INFANTS.

M. Tarnisr, the surgeon of the Maternity
Hospital in Paris, struck by the great NOR
tality among infants prenlaturely born, and
those which are very sickly after birth, has
conceived the ingenious idea of constructing
box which is almost exactly similar to the
incubators used for poultry. This box is
divided into two compartments-th lower
one being used as a reservoir for hot water,
while the infant is placed in the upper one,
which is well stuffed at the sides and fitted
with sliding glass cover. The temperature
is maintained at So Fair, and M. Tarnier
has found that by keeping infants in the in
cubator for period varying from two days
to six weeks, their vitality is enormously i'm
proved. He has made experiments upon
five months children, six seven-months,
and thirteen eight-nonths children, and he
has only lost two of them, whereas, accord
ing to his statement, three-fourths Of them
would have died but for this sdventitioua
aid to vitality. Lancet.

READING THE EYES.

According to fanciful American pbre-
aologist round-eyed persons see MUCH 1.-Two
much in the senses, but think less. Mar
row-eyed persons, on the other hand, see
less, but think and feel more intensely. II
will be observed that the eyes of children
are open and round. Their whole life is to
receive impressions. 1t is only when child
hood is maturing toward manhood and wo-
manhood that thought comes, If it comes at
oil. But what most leads to reflection
Experience. Our errors, our shortcomings,
our failures-these teach us to think before
we act, TO consider each step, to weigh every
motive. When, therefore, the upper eye
lid-for it is that which has the greatest
amount of mobility --droops over the eye, il
indicates not merely reflection, but some
thing painful to reflect about. Hence tho
length or dropping of the upper eyelid beto-
kens confession and penitence.
The dropping of half of the eyelds from
the outer angle to the center indicates the
disposition to confess ones fanlts to parents
or Seniors to "father confession"

POETRY.
MusISG AT TWILIGHT

AT twilight in these sacred grounds
The mourner bends above the tomb,
Where angels watch and daisies bloom
Der verdant banks and little mounds.
We call the names OF those who sleep;
No living presence moves the clod,
Nor answers come from meath the sod,
But sxenee reigns where mortals weep.
That stately column marks the place
Where proud ambition sleeps at last
The sleep of death since life is past
And Its short record here we trace.
That urn surmounts hero's grave;
A manly youth, both brave and fair,
So loved his country as to dare
All-that her starry flag might wave.
These manly forms together lie
A gentle sister here is laid
To rest within this peaceful shade
And all, alas, SO young to die!
A mothers love recalls the wait
That tender gem-the little thing,
That fell a posted leaf In Spring;
II, too, lives on-all souls are safe.
And she who bore them sleeps beside
The treasures of mothers heart;
All these were OF her life part
Nor life. nor death can e'er divide.
The night wind hreathes in cadence low
Above the graves OF young and old,
Where life's sad tale Is briefly told,
or fleeting hopes and lasting woe.
Look up, pale mourner, to the sky,
No longer weep above the grave;
Be sure that all The pure and brave
Are living still-and cannot die.
Tha silver lining o; tue cloud
Shines through TIE darkness OF the night
And conscious souls awake to light
With al OF life and joy endowed.
What II fair forms have persisted here1
The risen life IL born again,
And spirits, freed from grief and pain,
ReioiGe in their immortal sphere.

ground is frozen, with large ball of earth

Opening Car window for a pretty girl.

Maybe a man feels happy and proud and
hattered, and envied, and blessed among men
when he sees a pretty girl trying to raise
window of railway car. and he jumps up and
gets ahead of the other boys, and says, cal
low mel" oh, so courteously, ond she says,
"Oh, if you please; | would be SO glad" and
the other male passengers turn green with
envy, and he leans over the back of her seat
and tackles the window in a knowing way
with one hand, if peradventure he may toss it
airly with simple turn of the wrist But it
kind of holds on, and he takes hold with both
bonds, but it sort of don't 60 to any alarming
extent, and he pounds it with his fist, but it
only seems to settle ga leettle closer into
place." and then he comes around and she
gets out of the seat to give him a fair chance,
and he grapples that window, and bows up
his back, and tugs and pulls and sweats and
grunts and strains, and his hat falls off, and
his suspender buttons fetch loose, and his vest
button parts, and his face gets red, and his
feet slip, and people laugh, and irreverent
young men in remote seats grunt and groan
every time he lifts, and cry out, snow then,
all together" as if in mockery, and he bursts
his collar at the foreward button, and the pref
ty young lady, vexed at having been made SO
conspicuous, says in her iciest manner, "Oh,
never mind-thank you, it doesn't make any
difference, and calmly goes away and sits
down in another seat, and that wearied man
gathers himself together and reads book up

And utterly too,
A tra-la. la young man.
He thought he'd go and see
The world so wide and free,
If anything was good enough for him;
He climed the Himalay,
He tramped through Africa,
But everything was far too rough for him.
A tall, aesthetic young man,
An utterly sweet young man;
great swcll-hcad
An utter bred,
A finished quite complete young man.
He qui1zcd the Continent;
In eighty days he went
Around the world to show what he could do;
He said with all his force
1.-THE world was all too coarse
And nothing did what it was meant to do
A Roman nose young man,
A tOOth-pick toes young man,
Who sucked his cane
To soothc his brain
A tight-ht clothes young muu
The men all feel for him,
The girls all kneel to him,
The dear mammas look eagerly his way
But he will take his chaunce,
And he will daunce his daunce,
For every dog is bound to have his day.
An eye-glass quiz young man,
A perhaps tits" young man,
A perfumed dear
From ear to ear
Do you know who it is, young man?

aud evergreens, with the initials S.
and FL. directly over their heads,
and under this arch they pledged
their fidelity to each other for life.
Miss Mollie is the favorite of the
country, and we'll may be, for she
is a noble woman and deserves the
popularity she has upon the prin-
cipies of true merit. Mr.. Ellis Steel
is one of our best citizens, and he is
also highly esteemed by all who
know him. A cleverery couple
could not have been Joined together
on the Southside or Northside.
Ben and Irwin are aspirants for
a like position to that of Ellis s.
and some young ladies are missing
a good chance, so they had better
listen to what these clever boys are
saying and act accordingly.
My neighbor, John Turner has
had severe attack of rheumatism,
but is some better now. Esq. John
