WHAT THE ZERO MARK MEANs.-Nine-
ty-nine citizens out of one hundred have
had something to say recently about ''zero,"
and perhaps not one in one hundred could
have told, off-hand, why point thirty-two
degrees below the freezing point on Fahren-
heit's thermometer is called zero. For that
matter nobody knows. The Fahrenheit
scale was introduced in 1920. Like other
thermometers it has two fixed points, the
freezing point, or rather the melting point
of ice, and the boiling point of water. The
Centigrade and Reumur scales call the free
zing point zero and measure therefrOm in
both directions. This is a very natural ar
rangement. Fahrenheit kept the principle
on which he graduated his thermometers a
secret and no one has ever discovered it. 1t
is supposed, however, that he considered his
zero-thirty-twO degrees below freezing--
the point Of absolute cold, or absence Of all
heat, either because, being about the tent
perature of melting salt and snow, it was
the greatest degree Of cold that he could
produce articially, or because it was the
lowest natural temperature of which he
could find any record. The grounds on
which Fahrenheit put one hundred and
eighty degrees between the freezing and
boiling points are likewise unknoWn.-,S.

launching into the account which his uncle
had demanded of him. He felt like a man
treading on unholy ground, fearful of ma
king a perilous step. While at the same
time, his pride was arming itself, reluctant
to submit to any compromise.
Mr.. Franklin watched him steadily for a
moment, then drew from his pocket small
flask, and poured some of the contents into
a glass half full Of water.
"Drink this" he said, authoritatiTely:
"It's the best brandy. l always carry il
about me in case of an emergency. Good
God, how your hand shakes"
The shaking hand managed to convey the
glass to the sick mans lips. The tonic was
what he needed. He felt stronger after
swallowing it, and was able to speak steadl'
ly as he thanked his uncle, and then, with
out farther hesitation, entered upon sketch
of his past and present life.

LEGAL HINTS FOR FARMERs.-To those
who contemplate engaging in lawsuit no
better advice can be given than that of
Punch, to those about to marry. 1t may be
all summed up in one WOrd-"DOn't ~ Bet
ter put up with few grievances and petty
annoyances, than have a law suit with any
one. Better give your neighbor little
more than you think he is rightfully entl-
tied, to, or settle your accounts with him on
the basis of a small amount due him, than
let any court settle the difference between
YOU. There are great many reasons why
YOU should do this. Lawsuits are eXpen-
sive luxury, and should be indulged in only
by the wealthy. But the poor mal seems
to be lust the one to have more suits than
any other But by no means are lawyers
unnecessary, and should never be consulted.
On the contrary, consulting good lawyer
has been, and is, the means of keeping many
a man out of trouble, and often saves him
manydollars The drawing of papers, deeds,
leases, agreements, wills, and thesettlement
of estates, are among the many things on
which a lawyers aid should be sought.
The rule is this Consult lawyer enough
to keep out flaWsuits.-COmt,y Gentlemen.
ssE~ A correspondent of the Chicago Ne,rs
writes of visit to Molokai, the place which
the victims of leprosy. This mysterious
blight, which prevails so extensively on the
beautiful islands, is not simply skin dis
ease, as most people think, but painful de-
caying of every portion of the body. Nine
years is the longest period leper has been
known to live, seven years being the usual
limit of the disease Old women live Ion
ger and suffer more than any other victims.
Families often hide their afflicted relatives
in the mountains, but the police officers
bring more than hundred lepers every two
months to the hospital at Honolulu, where
the doctors examine them and consign them
to banishment to the leper settlement, from
which death is the only escape. Many
touching stories are told of the devotion the
gentle islanders show to their loved ones
who endure this horrible death in life. One
young physician, finding leprous spot on
his hand, gave himself at once the author
tiles and went out to Molokai to study the
terrible malady for the benefit of medical
science.

The STRONGEST DRINK.-Water is the
strongest drink. 1t drives mills; it's the
drink of lions and horses, and Sampson new
er drank anything else. Let young men be
teetoalers if only for economy's sake. The
beer money will soon build house. If
what goes into the mash-tub went into the
kneading- trough, families would be better
fed and better taught. If what is spent
in waste were only saved against a rainy
day, worlk-houses would never be built.
The man who spends his money with the
publican and thinks the landlords bow and
''How do you do, my good fellow" mean
true respect, is a perfect simpleton. We
don't light fires for the herring's comfort,
but to roast him. Men do not keep pot
houses for laborers' good; if they do, they
certainly miss their aim. Why, then, should
people drink "for the good of the house"
If spend money for the good of any house,
let it be my own and not the landlords. 1t
isa bad we'll into which you must put water;
and the beer house is bad friend, because
it takes your all and leaves you nothing but
headaches.
He who calls those his friends who let
him sit and drink by the hour together, is
ignorant-very ignorant. Why, red lions,
and tigers, and eagles, and vultures are all
creatures of prey, aud why do SO many put
themselves in the power RI their jaws and
talons? Such who drink and live riotously
and wonder why their faces are SO blotchy
and their pockets so bare, would leave OH
wondering ifthey had two grains of wisdom.
They might as well ask an elm-tree for pears
as look to loose habits for health and wealth.

PRESERVING IRON.-Among the things
that require the most protective paint for
iron are carriages, farm wagons, plows, and
agricultural implements, from which fact it
seems feasible that manufacturers of the
like ought to be able to give the best lntor-
nation required. Any mineral paint would
answer the purpose much better, and main
tain that the paint that most etfectually
protects iron is red lead. Not in color is it
as we'll suited but that is only a secondary
consideration, and easily overcome by paint
ing it over with any color desired. 1t con-
tains the following advantages for the pre-
servation of the iron, which is the main OBJ
jject to be gained:
!. 1t dries easily with raw linseed Oil,with-
out any oil-destroying drier.
>. After drying, it remains elastic, giving
way both to the extension and contraction
of the iron, without causing the paint to
crack.
3. 1t imparts no oxygen to iron, even
when constantly exposed to damp-a fact to
which all farm wagon makers can testify.
4. 1t hardens, where it has been spread
thickly, without shriveling, forming the
toughest and most perfect insoluble cOmbi
nation of all parts. AS proof Of this asser-
tion, it is used by calico printers for red fig
ure prints, holding out against soap and wa
ter by gas pipe nltcrS, as lne DeSG pdlHl W
resist ammonia and tar; by the English iron
ship builders, for painting the hulls of iron
ships, namely, two coats Of red lead and two
of zinc white; by wagon and plow makers,
for painting wagon gears and plOWs by
knowing carpenters for painting wood that
comes in contact with damp brick in walls,
as it preserves wood from rot, insects, etc.
For those among us who are uninstructed
how to mix pure red lead for paint, it should
be made known that pure red lead powder,
after being slightly pressed down with the
finger, shows no lead crystals. When they
are visible, it is merely partly converted,
and not first quality. 1t should be ground
in pure, old linseed oil, and if possible used
up the same day, to prevent it combining
with the oil before it is applied, losing in
quality. No drier is necessary, as in the
course of few days the oil forms perfect,
hard combination with the lead. American
linseed oil isas good as any imported, where
the manufacturer has given it age, and not
subjected it to heat, as is the custom, by
steaming It'll cistern to qualify it quickly
for the market. 1t deteriorates in quality
when heated above one hundred and sixty
degreesF. This red lead paint spreads very
easily over a surface, and the best of finish
can be made with it, even by novice in
painting Carriage Monthly.
