Kingsley's Pets.

Mrs. Kingsley tells US that the rector
of Eversley's horse was his friend. and
knew it. His Scotch terrier Dandy,
after attending school lessons and cot
tage lectures, and accompanying his
master regularly in his parish walks
for over thirteen years, was laid under
under the frs on the rectory lawn, be-
side Sweep, the retriever. and ''Teck-
el' Of the Queens presenting, with
whom his attached master sat up dur
ing the last two suffering nights of the
little creatures life. Charles Kingsley
delighted, too, in cats, the stable never
lacking its white cat, or the house its
black or tabby one. On the lawn
dwelt family of natter-toads, which
lived on from year to year in the same
hole in the green bank, which the
scythe was never allowed to approach.
A pair of sand-wasps-one of which
had been saved from q watery death in
hand-basin by the tender-hearted
rector--lived in crack of his dressing
room window; and. every spring he
looked eagerly for their advent. A lit
tie fy-catcher that built every year un-
der his bedroom window was con-
stant joy to him; and he rejoiced in a
favorite slow-worm in the church-yard,
which his parishioners We're specially
enjoined not to kill. Believing, like
Wesley, in q future state for animals,
Kingsley loved every creature that
draws breath, barring the spider; to
that he owned an antipathy he could
neither conquer nor understand

Wind 10 Some Purposs

Enough vind power goes to waste
which viii Be used in the State for
century. This Is due to the fact thst
as yet, wind-power can only be used
with profit for work not requiring n
uniform, steady motion. All the wind
mills In use are 10 some extent self
regulating. The wind Is constantly
varying in force. and the motion Of the
mill varies with II. but not TO the same
extent Most mills win stop entirely
in heavy storm In some of the
very large wind engines, regulator is
used which approximates to uniform
speed. But even II some one should
make a mill 80 regulated as to run
steadily-at the same speed-with q
varying wind. the difficulty would stin
be but partly overcome. Sometimes
Just when work Is most needed. the
wind stops blowing and nothing can be
done.
With the mills now in use, and capa-
BILE of withstanding any storm not
great enough to destroy ordinary build
ings, all the minor operations of the
farm, such as churning, cutting feed,
slicing roots. etc. may be done, pro-
vided some cheap method Of storing UP
power shall be discovered. The wind
mill should be so arranged that when
not needed for Plumbing. 1t may run
and stofe up power. to be used for a
few hours at time when needed.
Several ways have been suggested
for storing power, but all are open to
some objections. One is, TO pump
water from lower level to higher,
into reservoir to be used in driving
machinery in the usual way. The OBJ
jections to this plan which first suggest
themselves are that there would be
considerable waste from evaporation,
leakage, friction Of pumps, ETC., and
that the machinery needed to utilize
the water power would be too costly, it
is feared, to allow any such device to
come into general use. Another plan
suggested is 10 compress air into q
large receptacle aud use it to drive the
machinery of the Windmill.
1t is also proposed to store power by
raising weight slowly by train Of
wheels, and then take power from this
weight in descending. We are moi
aware that any practicable device for
using such motor has yet been in
vented. The whole subject is COM
mended to the attention of ingunioUs
mechanics to the confident assurance
that there is fortune TO be made by
somebody out of this needed invention.

A Pointer.

Chief Wigglesworth, of Austin, is a
great dog fancier, and his kennels are
nearly always stocked with choice
breeds of bird dogs, shepherds, and
other blooded varieties. One day he
met a bosom friend on the avenue and
accosted him.
II wish,' he said, "that you would
call up to my house tomorrow. want
to give you pointer, valuable one."
20, thank your exclaimed the de-
lighted friend, Il shall certainly call. :"
Then the friend, in anticipation of
the expected present of fine bird-dog,
purchased breach-loading shotgun, a
thousand or two cartridges, game
bag, and ten or fifteen dollars worth of
ammunition. The next day he ap-
peared at Wigglesworth's residence
with handsome nickle-plated dog col
lar in his hand.
"Ah, good morning." said Wiggles-
worth, 'Iglad to see you"
81 came,' explained the friend, ''af-
ter that pointer.
30, yes; l came mighty near forget
ting that. You talk too much with
your mouth on the outside" +"
The nickle-plated dog collar and the
bosom friend walked slowly up the
street. .-- Teras Sytings.

To Restore Failing Memory.

Loss Of memory in middle age should
always be treated as q serious symp-
tom, whether it be so or not. People
who suffer therefrom should decrease
their hours of labor, work more system
atically, be careful to take rest when
ever they feel tired, relaxation when
the least low spirits, abundant exercise
in the open air whether they need 1t or
not. They should attend to the general
health and the regularity of the sys-
tenn. Take tonic--a mild and nom
constipating one-remembering, how,
ever, that tonics arc dangerous tools,
and too often wolves in sleeps cloth
lag, or stimulants in disguise. Tenn
perance should be observed, and wine
most sparingly used. By observing
such rules as these, failing memory
may be restored; then, and not till
then, mnemonics may be had recourse
TO in order to prevent a relapse.
Mnemonics should be to the memory
what good spectacles are to the eyes
