Mechanical SpeculatiOns.

A correspondent inclosed apublished
slip from newspaper In which he has
suggested the storage of wind power
by means of winding mp gigantic springs
like watch-springs when the wind is
high and free, the power thus obtained
to be given out as needed. He suggests
the heating of our dwellings by the
COMPRISING of air, and the cooling of
them by expanding the air. He con-
siders electric light and the mechanical
power for any necessary handy purposes
as being also products Of this harnessed
wind force. But he goes still further
and suggests the millennium of laziness.
He says:
Our food and clothing are now pro-
duced by very tedious, announcement,
laborious, circumlocuted and expensive
means. The raw materials, from which
they are produced, are dirt, water and
air. The inter-chemic, 81 action of these
materials, aided by heat and light,
managed by vast amount of mechan-
zeal force, is the modus operandi of pro-
duction. But heat and light being in
Interchangeable with mechanical force,
why is it not possible to produce food
and clothing, in finished form, directly
out of dirt, water and air by mechanical
force?" This unanswerable question
appears to cut off debate and close the
subject. Scientific american.

A Race OF Sailors.

Talking of ships, it is wonderful to
see how the heredity proclivity to get
into a boat and sail somewhere is de-
veloped among the Norwegian youth
and at what an early age. You see
parties of small boys in boats that are
miniature reproductions of the old
Viking ship, rowing and sailing about
and managing oars and sails like
veteran tars. A little fellow, apparent
ly 9 or 10 years old, will sit in the
stern-sheets and handle his tiller and
order about.his crew, consisting of three
or four urchins of the same age, or q
year or two younger than himself, with
all the sang-froid and self-possession of
an old pilot. Sometimes they come to
grief and get drowned, though it is
wonderfully seldom, considering the
number of almost infantile sailors, that
accidents occur. AS for attempting to
keep them away from the water, L am
sure q timid mother would have as
hopeless task in trying to keep her
offspring of the male sex on dry land
as an OLD hen to warn her brood of
duck chicks from neighboring pond,
Seeing the juvenile population all
padding about. one ceases to wonder
that little Norway should boast COM

COnsumptiyeS.

A physician who writes for the Con-
tinellt about the curative powers of
nature is positive in his conviction that
it is better for consumptive to stay at
home, where he can be comfortable,
than subject himself to the discomfort
of hotel life, or the greater inconven-
fence Of a camp. He says that the
camp cure may be fairly tried by Sleep
ing on ones own housetop. Another
medical man replies that the summer
conditions of spruce forests are emil
nently favorable, and consumptives
have recovered in the most surprising
way living under canvas in them, where
the air is impregnated with the healing
emanations peculiar to the nondecidu-
ops tree growths. There are consump-
tives whose lungs crave the salt air OF
the ocean; others to whom the dry at
mosphere of Colorado is infinitely
soothing; and others, again, who are
benefited by the climate of Florida or
Southern California. "To prescribe
Florida for one person might mean
death, while if he went among the
Northern paradise of spruce recovery
might follow"

Ranidify of Thought.

Some recent Investigations relating
to the speed of thought are thus
summed up in the american Journal
of Arts and Sciences /: Sensations
are transmitted to the brain at a
rapidity of about $50 feet per second,
or at one-ffth the rate of sound; and
this is nearly the same in all individuals.
The brain requires one-tenth of second
to transmit its orders to the nerves
which preside over voluntary action !;
but this amount varies much in different
individuals. and in the same individual
at different times, according to the dis
position or condition at the time, and is
moro regular the more sustained the
attention The time required to trans
NIT an order to the muscles by the
motor nerves is nearly the same as that
required by the nerves of sensation TO
pass q sensation; moreover, it passes
nearly one-hundreth Of o second before

Glad but TO kiss your feet;
And tue wind sang. Life may be bitter,
But loving can make Ii sweet.
And laughed and loitered around you,
Surely finding YOU fair;
And the merry sun kissed and crowned you
Queen of the morning there.
Everything fair seemed to love you,
Seemed proud at your feet TO tall
And the lark, singing high above you,
Sang you were the fairest of all.
And scarcely,a word was spoken,
But our souls to each other spoke.
Till the dreamy spell was broken,
And we started and smiled and woke.
And so in the glorious weather,
In the morning blithe and gay
Happy in being together,
Happily wandered away.

A l. OndOn Fish Story.

An angler went to work by the side
of a pond. He fished with worm,
and had not been at work five minutes
before he had bite. He caught an
eel but found some difficulty in hauling
it out. When he succeeded, however,
he found another eel hanging to it,
tail. The second eel had another at
tached to it, and the third eel hauled
out fourth, and so on. The angler,
surprised and Disguised, set out t.
walk home. At last he found his bur.
den Eheavier than The could bear and h,
laid down his rod. Walking back he
found no fewer than $50 cells in a line
Curious to see how far the fishes would
extend, he walked back and sat dow
in the grass. Then he began to han
sway, and before he had got the las
he counted $500 cells. Even then the,
came up in battalions to get hold of tn,
tail of that last fish, but missed it,

SOME THINGS.

A little forethought on the part of /:
housekeeper often saves much time as
we'll as hard labor.
! A calico curtain tackled over the
wheel of a sewing machine will save
the floor as well as the dress ofthe op.
orator, from annoying grease spots
Mothers who have several little ones
attending school will save time and pa
tlence, and perhaps an extra amount
of knitting, by having the little mittens
fastened to the cloak or coat sleeves
by strong tapes.
After the lamps are filled and the
chimneys polished, take pieces of pa
per and roll in the form of chimney;
slip them over the chimney and lamp.
Very pretty and durable covers may
be made Of pasteboard. on which has
been pasted bright colored paper and
pretty pictures, and they will protect
the lamps from flies and dust.
Water in which pieces of horns and
hoofs have been soaked, is an excel.
lent manure for plants. 1t stimulates
the growth of rose bushes, tomatoes,
and house plants very rapidly, and does
not emit offensive odors. A barrel of
shavings cut from the hoofs of horses
contains more ammonia than is con-
tanned in a load of stable manure.
Tomatoes to be healthful as we'll as
pala:able, should be stewed slowly for
three or four hours. Seasoned with
little butter, pepper, and salt, they are
dish fit for king or-an American.
