WHAT THE ZERO MARK
MEANS.

Ninety-nine citizens out of hum
dred had something to say about
Zero" yesterday, but probably not
one III a hundred could have told why
a point 320 below the freezing point
on Farenheit's thermometer is called
zero. For that matter nobody knows.
The Farenheit scale was introduced
in 1920. Like other thermometric
scalec it has two fixed points-the
freezing point, or rather the melting
point of ice, and the boiling point of
water The Centigrade and Reamur
call the freezing point zero, and
measure therefrom in both directions.
This is very natural arrangement.
Farenheit kept the principle on which
he graduated his thermometer Sc
cret, and no one has ever discovered
it. 1t is supposed, however, that he
considered his zero-32 7below freez-
ing point-the point of absolute cold
or absence of all heat, either because,
being about the temperature of melt
ing salt and snow, it was the greatest
degree of cold he could produce arti-
ficially, OF because it was the lowest
natural temperature of which he could
find any record. The ground on
which Farenheit put 1909 between
the freezing and boiling points is
likewise unknown.

HOW TO HAVE COMPANY.

1t is not so hard to have a little
company to tea or spend the evening,
if one only knows how to plan her
work and does not attempt to crowd
too much in one day. II the cake is
made the day before, it will be fresh
enough; and if you are SO unfortunate
as not to be entirely successful in ma
king or baking, you will have time to
remedy this trouble by trying again.
If salad is to be part of the supper,
the chicken may be prepared in the
morning, and then, late in the after
noon, the dressing may be prepared
and the salad mixed. When it is in
the dish and ready for the table, wet
clean cloth with vinegar and lay
over the top; this will keep it moist,
and it will not lose its flavor by stand
ing. If you have sandwiches, they
may be buttered early, and damp
cloth be laid over them. Have the
dishes and silver ready, and put in
convenient place where you can get
them with no delay or trouble of
counting. Silver may be rubbed and
tablecloth and napkins laid aside days
before. Above all after having done
all those things, do not worry: think
over all the times you have been out
to tea, and you will haIdly be able to
recall a single time when anything
went very badly. Avoid confusion
if any one is to help you, be she SER
vantzzor friend, let her distinctly un-
derstand what her duty is to be, so
that you will not intefere with each
other. A few experiments will con-
vince you of the good sense of these
directions.-N Y. Eueninq Post.

AN ILLUMINATING LETTER
FROM LINCOLN.

A side light is thrown on Lincoln's
second inaugural, delivered March 4,
1865, by note which he wrote
Thurlow Weed March 15 of that
year, only month before his death,
as follows =
Everyone likes compliment. Thank
you for yours on my little notification
speech and on the recent inaugural
address. | expect the latter to wear
as we'll as, perhaps better, than any
thing 1 have produced; but l believe
it is not Immediately popular. Men
are not fiattered by being shown that
there has been difference of purpose
beween the Almighty and them. To
deny it, however, in this case is to
DENY that there is a God governing
the world. 1t is truth which |
thought needed to be told, and, as
whatever of humiliation there is in 1t
falls most directly upon myself, |
thought others might afford for me
to tell it.,
The passage of the inaugural to
which Mr.. Lincoln alludes is this -

HOW COLDS ARE CAUGHT.

A person in good health, with fair
play, easily resists colds. But when
the health flags a little, aud liberties
are taken with the stomach or the
nervous system, chill is easily TAX
Ell, and according to the weak spot
of the individual, assumes the form
of cold, or pneumonia, or it may be
jaundice. OF all causes of 'tcold,'
probably fatigue is the most efficient.
A jaded man coming home at night
from long days work; a growing
youth losing two hours sleep over
evening parties two or three times a
week; young lady heavily "doing
the season. and young children at
their festive season overfed, and,
with a short allowance of sleep, are
common instances of the victims of
.cOld."
Luxury is favorable to chill taking.
Very hot rooms, soft chairs, and
featherbeds create sensitiveness that
leads to catarrhs. 1t is not, after all,
tie ''cold" that is so much to be fear
ed as the antecedent conditions that
give the attack a chance of doing
harm. Some of the worse colds hap
pen to those who do not leave the
house, or even their bed; and those
who are most invulnerable are often
those who are most exposed to chang
es of temperature, and who, by sleep,
cold bathing, and regular habits pre-
serve the tone of their nervous system
and circulation.

The Old Village Depot.

There stands the old station house out in the rain
stones throw away from my door,
With its wind-beaten wall and its weatherracked
pane,
And its rckety, rat haunted door,
Its sashes are scanned and its intels gashed
With the jackknives of twenty long years,
And the caves where the wings of the swallow once
flashed
Are touched with the kinship of tears.
Old house! it looms up like ghost in the gale,
And gibbers and groans in the blast,
And speaks with a weird and weariless wall,
OF the dim, irrepealable past,
On the old dingy platform that girdles it round,
The wealth of the prairie once poured;
And daily the carriage of commerce came down
With the wares of the merchant abroad.
Twas here where brothers went off to the wars,
We blessed them and babe them adieu;>
And we welcomed them here, meath banner Of
stars,
When the terrible conflict was through;
And here where the barefooted boys are at play
The war trumpets thundered of yore-
And here came the cofins, in ghastly array,
OF the dear soldier dead to our door.
Twas here the young bride, in her beauty and
bloom,
To her cheek felt the parting kiss prest;
And here beat with rapture the heart of the groom
As he cradled her form ON his breast;
And here in his squalor the medicant crept,
To shelter himself from the blast,
In the merciless midnight, and dreamed rs he
slept
OF the happier days of the past.
And here came the message, more fleet than the
dove,
O'er the wandering, waverng wire,
That filed US with grief, that thrilled US witt
love,
AS we peacefully sat round the fire;
All, the old station house! it will soon tumble
Its timbers crumbling away,
But its record is writ on the heart of the town,
And its glory abideth for aye.

PRECIOUS STONES IN THE
UNITED STATES.

George F. Kunz has contributed to
1.-The Mineral Resources of the Unit
ed States" published by the govern
ment, an article on American gems
and precious stones. Systematic
mining for gems and precious stones
is carried on only at Paris, Me-, and
Stony Point, n. c., but they are
gathered on the surface in many
places, as sapphires in Montana,
moss agate in Colorado and agate at
Lake Superior. Some ~80 different
minerals occur in the United States
which have been used as gems.
Twelve of these occur in the United
States only. Diamonds are not mined
in this country, although they have
occasionally been found at a number
of localities. A large diamond was
was found at Manchester. opposite
Richmond, Va, by a laborer en-
ployed in grading one of the streets.
1t was an octahedron, and weighed
after 1t was cut over ten carats. 1t
was worth $4,000 before cutting.
The principal localities for sap
phires and rubies are in New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern Colorado,
where they occur in the sand, often
on ant hills, Garnets occur in the
same region, about $4,000 worth of
cut stones being annually produced.
1t is estimated that the value of the
tourmalines taken from Mount Mica,
Me-, is between $50, 200 and S65, 900.
Tourmaline and hiddenite are regu-
larly mined at Stony Point, n. c.,
some $500 worth having already
been sold. Rock crystal is gathered
and cut in large quantities, the sales
at different localities probably amount
ing to $4,000 annually. Much of it
is cut for jewelry, as Lake George
OF Cape May diamonds. The clear
crystal for optical purposes is almost
entirely Brazilian, as the good mate
rial found here rarely reaches the
proper channels.
Although agates are abundant here,
nearly all the polished specimens sold
in America have been polished in
Germany, having originally come
from Brazil and Uruguay. Moss
agates, however, are collected here
in large quantities, although the cut
ting is done abroad. The sunstone
and moonstone from Pennsylvania
and Virginia are of good quality, al
though as yet used but little. The
American turquoise is of much inter-
est, but is not much used by jewel
ers. 1t is frequently blue when
found, but soon turns green on ex-
, posure. 1t occurs in Colorado and
Texas, and will probably soon be
utilized in the arts. The bowenite
of Rhode Island and williamite oil
; Pennsylvania are used as substi
tute OF jade.

Still must l climb, if 1 would rest:
The bird sears upward to her nest;
The young leaf on the tree-top high,
Cradles itself within the sky.
The streams that seem to hasten down,
Return in clouds, the hills to crown:
The plant arises from her root,
To rock aloft her flower and fruit.
| cannot in the valley stay:
The great horizons stretch away!
The very cliffs that wall me round
Are ladders unto higher ground.

What soul was ever quite at ease
Shut in by earthly boundaries?
l am not glad till l have known
Life that can lift me from my own:

A mightier strength to lean upon.
And heaven draws near as | ascend
The breeze invites, the stars befriend,
All things are beckoning to the Best;
