OUR OWN.
If had only known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
b. ' vex "our own,"
With look and tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening.
You may give me the kiss OF peace,
Yet, it might be,
That never for me,
The pain of the heat should cease.
How many 60 forth in the morning
That never come home at night
And hearts have been broken,
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can never set right.
We have careful thoughts for the
stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for ''our own,"
The bitter tone,
Though we love "our own" the best.
Oh lips, with the curve impatient!
Oh brow, with that look OF scorn
'Twere cruel fate,
Were the night too late,
To undo the work Of the morn.

CellulOid.

The Journal of the British Dental AS
ISOLATION quotes from lie Progress Den
tdire description of the process carried
duction of celluloid.
A roll of paper is slowly unwound,
and is at the same time saturated with
Il mixture of five parts of sulphuric acid
and two of nitric, which falls upon the
paper in a fine spray. This changes
the cellulOse of the paper into pyroxy-
line (gun cotton). The excess of acid
having been expelled by pressure, the
paper is washed with plenty of water
until all traces of acid have been re-
moved; it is then reduced to pulp, and
passes on TO the bleaching trough. Most
of the water having been got rid of by
means of a strainer. the pulp is mixed
with from twenty to forty per cent. of
its weight of camphor. and the mixture
thoroughly triturated under millstones.
The necessary coloring matter having
been added in the form of powder. a
second mixing and grinding follows.
The finely divided pulp is then spread
out in thin layers on slabs, and from
twenty to twenty-five of these layers are
placed in hydraulic press, separated
from one another by sheets of thick
blotting paper, and are subjected to a
pressure of one hundred and fifty at
mospheres until all traces of moisture
have been got rid of. The plates thus
obtained are broken up and soaked for
twenty-fOur hours in alcohol. The
matter is then passed between rollers
heated to between one hundred and
forty and one hundred and fifty degrees
Fahrenheit, whence it issues in the form
of elastic sheets. Celluloid is made TO
initiate amber, tortOise-shell, coral. NAL
achite, ebony, ivory, ETC., and besides
its employment in dentistry is used to
make mOuth-pieces for pipes and cigar
holders, handles for table knives and
umbrellas, combs, shirt fronts and col
lars, and number of fancy articles.

A Hair.Dresser on Badness.

, was talking the other day with
Sauerwein, the eminent and learned
hair-dresser. of Regent street, and while
he trimmed my poll he said several
things worth knowing. Here they are:
Badness, when not the consequence of
old age, is disease, and it is a. far more
terrible enemy to overcome than white
hair. No healthy person should begin
TO be bald till after fifty years of age,
and vet general lamentation arises of
Young people, barely in their twenties,
losing their hair. Here. therefore, must
he some defect of constitution, some dis
ease of the hair, that should not exist.
Headaches, and, indeed, almost every
kind of suffering, whether of the mind
or body. frequently cause the hair to
fall. Too much study or thought or ap-
plication of any kind will have a similar
effect. Women are less subject to bald
ness than their brothers. Man works
more with his brains, generally speaking,
than woman. He also INDUCES in drink
or other excuses more than women,
and, rs rule, keeps his head covered
more than women do. An Italian PROV
erb says: 'Cappclio uecide capeitO.'-
Hat kills hair Hygienic precautions
may do much toward maintaining the
hair thick. l knew of man who kept
his hair thick, almost black, by never
wearing hat all his life. At eighty he
married a third wife and had a third
family of children. You must not ex-
pect, however, that your hair will never
fall. even in health, nor need you be dis
mayed when you see hair come off when
brushing or cOmbing. Hair falls at GER
tain seasons as dead as leaves from
trees, to make room for new ones to
grow. If, however, you see too many
come off and the fall continues too long.
then cut the hair as you would cut a
faded plant: it will grow stronger,
richer afterward. once said to Sir
Erasmus Wilson: Il think we hair
dressers would have nothing to do il
people cut their hair regularly, and
wig-makers would be ruined FIRE.
quently washing in cold salt water is
also recommended to prevent the hair
from falling, and daily friction is good. y

In Death They We're Not Divided.

Somewhat more than a year ago Ell
win A. Hoff, then young man of To-
ledo, was married to young lady of
that vicinity. They We're young with
seemingly a promise of long and
happy life before them. A few months
after he was stricken with consumption.
Faithfully the wife attended the bedside
of her husband until her strength gave
way and she too became q victim of the
same disease. Everything that kind
friends and medical skill could ac-
complish was done for them. At last it
became evident that only few days
more remained to either of them, and
they decided to say a final farewell to
each other and join their respective
friends. She was taken to Coldwater,
Mich, on her bed, from which she was
too feeble to be removed. He was
brought by his brother to Union
Springs. The sequel is told in the fol-
lowing notice: "Died, at Coldwster,

A False Impression.

A Detroiter who was taking newly
arrived Englishman around town the
other day happened to pass q carpenter
shop, and the Englishman remarked
that he had always heard that Amer;-
can workmen were rather slovenly and
careless.
"We will go in and see," was the
reply, and they entered and sat down
to wait for the boss. The carpenter
was using his brace and bit to bore
holes in frame of some sort, and after
each hole was bored he had to insert >
wooden wedge. When he had bored
hole he would walk off two feet and
hang up his brace, which would be
wanted again in about two minutes.
After whiting out each wedge he would
turn and place his knife on shelf, and
every.time he wanted his hammer il
was on the bench six feet away.
s.Ah! / find was sadly mistaken"
said the Englishman, as they finally
departed. 'Why, that man had as
much order and system as any work
man ever saw in England. He must
have occupied four-fifths of his time
walking back and forth for and with his
tools.
"Yes, he was working by the day,
you see!" explained the citizen as they
walked on.-DetroI Free Press.

A Canadian Curiosity.

A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
says that, about eight miles down the
river St. Lawrence from Kingston, Ont,
and four hundred yards from the stream,
rises lofty ridge Of granite. On the
farm of Daniel Mclean, in this ridge,
are three wells carved out of this f,lid
rock. which have defied the suggestions
of the oldest inhabitants as to their in
tended use. These cylinders, only four
feet deep and foot or more in dame
ter, are hewn out of solid rock, which
the keenest-tempered tools of modern
times would scarcely chip, and from top
to bottom they are as smooth and regu-
lar as finest polished Aberdeen granite.
They always contain cOpious supply
of pure water, which must be supplied
by rains. as no surface water can pene-
trate them. The popular idea is that
therein former savages pounded their
corn; but the diameter of the holes and
their disproportionate depth render that
an improbable idea.
