HOW BROKEN OCEAN CABLES ARE
FISHED UP.

The machinery used for picking up
a cable in both deep and shallow
water is Of the most simple descrip-
ton. 1t consists of rope about an
inch and a quarter in diameter, made
from twisted strands of the strongest
hemp, with interviewer wires of fine
steel; the grapnel at the end is
merely solid shaft of iron some two
feet long, weighing about 100
pounds, and prolonged into six blunt
hooks, which very much resemble the
partly closed fingers of the human
hand. In picking up the cable IT,
deep water, the Minia, after reach
ing the waters near the break, lets
out her rope and grapnel, then takes
a course at right angles to the cable
and at some distance from the frac.
ture, so that the broken end may not
slip through the grapnel; the grapnel
rope IS attached to dynamometer,
which exactly measures the strain
on the rope, and showsa unerringly
when tue cable has been caught. If
the grapnel fouls rock the strain
rises very suddenly and to a high
point; but the exact weight of the
cable being known, the dynamome-
ter signals by the stead y rate or in.
crease it's hold on the cable, which is
very far below. The ease and GER
tainty with which the cables are
picked up in these days is amazing
Awhile ago one of the lines of the
Anglo.American Company was
caught without trouble at depth of
two and a quarter miles, near the
middle of the Atlantic. Captain
Trott, of the Nina, who has won
great fame for his skill and ingenui.
ty in cable matters, but recently
picked up the French cable 1870 miles
off St. Pierre, and in four hours from
the time the grapnel was let go, he
had the cable spliced and in good
working condition. The splicing is
a work of great delicacy and skill.
and when accomplished by trained
finders, the 'sspliced" part can scarce
ly be distinguished from the main
cord. So rapid has been the i'm
provement in perfecting the modern
cable, that the resistance to the elcc-
5ric current has been reduced to one
quarter of what it was twenty years
ago. while the duplex system of send
ing and receiving messages double
the capacity of every new cable laid.
The working age of the modern cable
is about thirteen years.

Why Oysters Should be Eaten Raw.

Why oysters should be eaten raw
is explained by DR.. William Roberts
in his lecture on "digestion." He
says that the general practice of eat
ing oysters raw is evidence that the
popular judgment upon matters of
iiet is usually trustworthy. The
fawn-colored mass, which is the de-
licious portion of the fish. is it's liver,
and is simply a mass of glycogen,
but withheld from actual contact
with 1t during life, is it's appropriate
digestive ferment-the hepatic dias-
tase. The mere crushing of the oys.
ter between the teeth brings these
two bodies together, and the glyco-
gen is at once digested without any
other help than the diastase. The
raw or merely warmed oyster is self
digestive. But the advantage Of
this provision is wholly lost tby cook
ing, for the heat Immediately de-
stroyes the associated ferment, and
a cooked oyster has to be digested,
like any other food, by the eaters
own digestive powers. "My dear
sir, do you want to ruin your diges-
tion ?" asked Prof. Houghton, of
Trinity College, one day of a friend
who had ordered brandy and water
with his oysters in a Dublin restau-
rant. Then he sent for glass of
brandy and glass of Guinness's
Xxx and put an oyster in each. In
a very short time there lay in the
bottom of the brandy a tough. leath
cry substance resembling the finger
of kid glove, while in the porter
there was hardly trace of the
oyster to be found.-Neav York Sun.

LOVES INVOCATION.

Come to me, love, with the flush Of the
summer,
Come with it's fragrance, its music, its
mirth;
Come when the bird-songs are filling the
forest,
Come when the roses are crimsonlng
earth.
Come with the blue and the silver OF
dawning, =,
Come with the lark song, come with
the light,
Come with the rose and the splendor of
sunset.
Come with the stars and silence of night.
Or come when old holly-crowned winter
is reigning
Over the land where sweet summer has
been; :,
Come with its sleigh-bells, come with its
snowflakes,
Come with its glitter, its sparkle, its
sheen
Come with the crocus and daisy of Spring
time,
Come with the tall of the crimsoning
leaves.
Come when you re eagerly sowing Hopes
harvest,
Come when you garner its beautiful
SheaveS.
Come when your life is pean of glad
ness,
Come when all honor and glory are
thine,
Or when your heart is grown weary with
sadness,
Come to the love and the shelter OF
mine.
Truth cannot change. dear, Faith cannot
falter,
Death ca mot kill though it striketh
Love dumb,
And, if sleeping. my darling, beneath
Gods green altar,
The daisies will whisper your name
when you COME!

drawing on the young man. Ibis is
entirely wrong. as it may end rather
in driving him off.
Young ladies and gentlemen should
be entirely frank in their courtship,
and should practice no such wiles.
They should cultivate affection,
for love is of God.
Another fault in our methods of
courtship which. should be condemn.
ed is the want Of conversation with
respect to The peculiar traits of each
other. The young man should de.
scribe to the young lady his weak
points, and she may, IN return, speak
Of his good..qualities. This will pre-.
vent, after marriage, many mutual
recriminations.
The young man should state
frankly to his affianced his financial
condition. He shonld also be in.
formed if she has any property, and
it's nature and value. they know,
mutually, their exact financial con-
dition. The idea should be scorned
that the young man may deceive the
young lady as to his affairs. For
the sake of comfort after marriage
they should act toward each other
with entire candor. There is too
much holding back upon the subject
of money matters.
A young man should also unde.
ceive lady if he has no serious in
tentions in reference to her. She
will, really, respect him for his
frankness in regard to what he might
propose doing.
Ii he has no thought of addressing
her seriously he should let the fact
be known without delay. Young
men should also be careful what
they say or do in the presence OF
these giggling girls, for they often
make the best wives. Six out Of ten
OF them marry sedate men and soon
settle down into staid nlatrons.
Men of sober sense do not want
wives of sober sense, and giggling
girls do not want glggling boys.
There is, however, no one rule as to
the manner Of conducting courtship.
All will court as they please In their
own way.
In conclusion. take as your motto
the golden rule, and do to the young
lady in all your intercourse with her
what you would like her do to you.
The golden rule is a rule made in
heaven, and it is applicable to court
ship as we'll as to all other affairs OF
life. Do no, think thought or com
NIT an act in reference to her that
you would not have her think or com
nit in reference to yourself. This
makes character the basis of court
ship, and the character is a sacred
thing.

MODERN COURTSHIP.

The Rev. r. c.. CESS is the author
of the following on Modern Court
ship: - The different circumstances
of the people cause difference in
their manner of courting. There are
thousands, for example who are
compelled to do their courting on the
seats in public parks, and our serv-
ants do theirs leaning upon the iron
railing in front of our dwellings.
Love is, however, law unto itself.
and should be left to act naturally
and without restraint.
In these courting arrangements
young ladies too often feign cold
ness when they are burning with
love. doing this for the purpose Of

A new method of reducing corn to
meal is now in opperation up North,
which is likely to supersede the old
fashioned ulill-stones. The corn
passes over a series of cylinders, pro-
vlded with fine steel points, revolving
rapidly against fixed knives. each set

meal is exceedingly fine. and as this
machinery costs less than the old
buhr stones. there is no excuse for
