WHAT is THE USE.

What is the use of this impetuous haste2
The end is certain. Let us take our time,
And hoard the vital forces that we waste
Before our day has reached its golden
prime.
What is the use of rushing with spent
breath
After old age, its burrows, its white hair2
Why need we hurry so to welcome
death,
Or go half way with hands stretched out,
to Care2
There is no use. Dear heart, if we but wait
All things will find us. Let us pause, i
say,
We cannot go beyond the silent gate
That lies a short days journey down the
way.
SO let US take our time in youth fair bow
ers.
The summer season is so brief at best;
Let us look on the stars and pluck the
flowers.
And when our feet grow weary, let us rest.
Let us take time for love and its delight;
1t is the one sweet thing that pays for all
The bitterness of life, for Sorrows blight.
For Pains despair and Deaths funeral
pail.
In hat lost era when the world was new,
Love was mems first pursuit and life's
excuse.
Now has that time come back to me and
you
Why should we seek for more7 What is
the use2

him enables him to stop OF go on at
pleasure. This switch is graduated so
that the current, from forty, sixty, or
eighty cells, can be used at pleasure.
The weight of the whole-batteries and
dynamo-is about two tons, or as near
ly as possible that of engine, boiler with
water, and coal for a steam engine COM
petent to propel her at the same speed.
This pretty launch is the very prefec-
ton of a pleasure boat no heat, no
smoke, no dust, no steam,a nc smell of
oil, no splashing of pumps. There is
no noise of any kind to be heard save
the bubbling of the water from the pro-
peller, and the faint hiss cause by the
commutator rubbing against the
brushes. There is no smell, and no
''blacks J" and the boat will run for six
hours continuously, or about forty-five
miles.
1t has long been known that the screw
is an extremely wasteful propeller. 1t
may yet be that further Investigations
will show that the screw is not so much
to blame as the combination of screw
and engines. AT any rate the system
of electrical propulsion opens up a new
field of inquiry, because it renders pos
sible the use of screws of extremely fine
pitch revolving at a great speed. The
dynamo in Mr.. Yarrow's boat makes
about $50 revolutions per minute. The
propeller is of steel, two bladed, 19-inch
diameter and 13-inch pitch. There is
absolutely no vibration, and very little
disturbance of the water in the wake of
the boat.-LOndon Field.

DIo LEWIS ON FREsH-AR.-'Be-
ware of night air" This Is one of
Aunt Susan's solemn speeches. "Close
your windows when the sun goes
down." This is another.
The other night when she was draw
ing out the first of these favorite saws,
l said to her:
my dear aunt, what can a man
breathe at night if he don't breathe
night az ? He can't breathe day air,
, can he Do you'mean he should get
a house fuVl of day air, shut it up tight,
and breathe it over and over all night ?
My dear auntie did you ever get into
a bedroom where two persons had slept
with closed windows -? Now, auntie
you have a sharp nose what do you
think of that sort of air to feed the blood
and brain. A great many people suck
in that poison all night, and next morn
ing suffer from dullness and headache.
Auntie, did you ever sleep out of
doors ~
"Never, l should expect to wake up
dead if l did"
my dear aunt, the young birds,
lambs, fawns, and all the rest of the
tender, delicate young creatures sleep
out and do nicely but they soon die
of consumption, if we bring them into
our furnace or stove heat. Why, auntie,
l saw, when in South Carolina, a fam
lily Of parents and five children living
under a live oak tree, where they had
stayed three years, with no other COW
ering than the tree-nOt even a tent.
1t was an intelligent New England
family they left Massachusetts, very
wretched from s%crofula. When l saw
them they were in fine health. 1 be-
lieye a great French author when he
says "You may eat bad food, wear
bad clothing, and never wash yourself,
but if you breathe pure air day and
night you will never suffer from scrof-
ula."
Aunt Susan ended the discussion by
saying ''Sleep out in the street, if
you wish to !; l prefer a good bed in a
nice room. Sleep with the pigs and
COWS if you like it l prefer to sleep like
a christian"
Aunt Susan is partly right. 1t shelter
to sleep in good bed than out in the
street with the pigs. But it isa sad blum
der to sleep without an open window

Successful Trial of a New Elec-
triCaI.

A launch propelled by electricity
was shown on the Thames on several
occasions last year, and attracted a
good deal of attention. 1t was pro-
PEELED by a screw driven by a Siemens
motor and Sellon-V olckmar accumula-
tors. To a certain extent the expert
ment vas successful. Recently Messrs.
Yarrow & Co., of the Isle of Dogs,
took the matter up, and, working with
the Electrical Power and Storage Com
pany, a very handsome launch has been
fitted up, intended for the Vienna Ex-
hibitiOn, with which many experiments
have been made. This little boat made
a run from the Temple Pier to Green
witch in thiIty-seven minutes, with a
moderate tide. Some delay was, more
over, caused by the propeller fouling a
basket-an event w~ell-known to every
one who has had any experience with
steam launches on the Thames. The
distance is six miles, so that, making
allowance for the tide, it may be said
that a speed of over seven miles an hour
was attained, and full power was not
employed, save for a portion of the time.
| On the measured mile an average speed
of over eight miles an hour has been at
tanned.
The boat is forty feet long and of
good beam. She had twenty-one per-
sons on board, including the steersman
and a man to look after the machinery,
if such it may be called. The boat is
completely unincumbered from end to
end, no trace of the propelling mechan-
ism being visible. This consists of
eighty cells of Sellon- Volckmar accum-
ulators, of which fourteen are disposed
under the seat, at each side and
the remainder in the bottom of the boat,
under the floor. The screw is turned
by an A. Siemens' dynamo commute.

For WASHING BLACK OR NAVY
BLUE LINENS, PERCALEs, Ere
Take two potatoes grated into tepid
soft water first having peeled and
washed them), into which put a tea
spoonful of ammonia. Wash the goods
in this and rinse in cold blue water.
Stsrch will not be needed, and, if at all
practicable, they should be dried and

1t is said that an infusion of hay will
preserve the colors Of buff linens
an infusion of bran will do the same
for brown linens and prints.
To WASH PRINTED GOODS which
have a black ground with a white

chromate of potash, three ounces of
common salt and two and a half ounces
of sal-soda in a wash boiler OF water
heated to boiling point. Put the dress
into this hot bath for five minutes, and
frequently turn and stir it. Then wash
it thoroughly in clean water. The

EDIBLE AND Poisonous MUSH-
RooMs,-The stem of a genuine mush-
room is short, thick and white, marked
under the head with a prominent ring.
The head is white and regularly con-
vex, the edges are bent inward, the
flesh is white and firm, the under leaves
are deep pink, and separated as they
approach but do not touch the stem.
When the mushroom grows old the net
like shape changes it becomes brown,
fiat and scaly. The under leaves also
turn brown. 1t is better when eaten
young. Spurious mushrooms have
their heads covered with warts and
other membraneous substances, which
