The Influence ofthe Magnet.

For a few pence we can purchase .
piece of magnetized steel, and by its
help we can learn some very interesting
things about it. We lay it upon a table.
and above it place half a sheet of smooth
writing paper, supported on each side
by pieces of firewood of the same thick
ness as the magnet. Apennyworth oil
iron filings will complete the apparatus
required. Scattering these iron filings
over the paper so as to lightly cover il
we shall soon see, particularly ii, to aid
the process, we gently tap the paper.
that the various atoms of iron are ar
ranging themselves In symmetrical
curves of great beauty. Thetwo poles are
distinctly marked by the greater ac-
cumulatien of filings oyes them, and
from them proceed splendid feather.
like lines which embrace
and interlace with one another
in a most curious manner In the whole
range of physical experiment there is
nothing more beautiful, looking to the
simple means employed, than these
featlery diagrams of an invisible force:
and we trust that CUR readers will not
be content with mere verbal description,
which can do such scant Justice to the
reality, but will produce the curves for
themselves. We see here clearly de-
fined the marvellous influence which by
some mysterious power will penetrate
all kinds of obstacles. We can put this
to practical proof by interposing be-
tween the magnet and sheet Of paper q
board a book or even the human hand
when the curves can be made visible all
the same. We shall presently see how

well so, if not oyer-crowded. But OF
course they do better with the ground

cannot well penetrate the hard subsoil,
or because it contains some corrosive or
deleterious quality that cuts off all

wet or poisonous soils even forest trees
have all their roots spread horizontally
near the surface, as is seen when they

Another good way to clean old carpets
is to rub them over with meal; just
dampen it a very little and rub the car

Bismarck's Birthday.

Berlin Dispatch to the London Times.
Prince Bismarck celebrated his sixty
ninth birthday amid manifold tokens Of
esteem and devotion. I'm the morning
he was, as usual, serenaded by two
military bands, and in the course of the
day he received thousands of gifts and
congratulotory messages from high and
low in all parts of Germany, and, in
deed, all parts Of the world. Princes
William and Henry of Prussia, who are
both very warm admirers of the Chan
cellor, personally called te present their
Fluctuations, and the number Of visitors
and card leavers was legion. A slight
shadow was thrown over the occasion
by the illness of Princess Bismarck,
who has been confined TO bed for some
time back. Among the birthday pres-
ents received by the Chancellor we're

In order to get ham and bacon ofa
superior quality, it is absolutely essen
tial to real special breeds Of swine for
the purpose. We have seen Berkshire
hams weighing 25pounds each, or more,
which were lined with only about half
an inch of fat, the rest being tender,
sweet. juicy meat. The side pieces were
finely intermixed with fat and lean--of
mere threads-and, of course, were also
tender and extremely palatable as salted
and smoked for bacon. Srsn meat is
more economical han a fatter sort, and
far the most healthy, especially In warm
weather. The consumption OF fat
meat of any kind then, is apt to pro-
duce too mnch bile in the stomach,
which is eftcn the cause of fever, scro-
fula, and perhaps some other diseases

Carpets.

Changes of fashion occur in our car
pets as in our dress. Last year sombre
and subdued colors and neutral tints
prevailed; now brilliant tints and high
contrasting colors are in the ascendant.
The reaction in fashionable style of car
pets, however extreme, is usually trace
able to long operating i~nfiunces, and is
for manufacturers to discern in advance
the tendency of the public tastes. The
present patterns of carpets are OF an all
over description, without central figures.
For certain accepted patterns of old
standing there is aconstant demand,
but periodic novelties are the rule.
There is much to study not only in
costly but in cheap carpets, of the dain-
ty effects Of contrast, as in yellow and
orange, with or without light %colors,
lilac, scarlet and crimson, or
white divided by faint blue.
Carpets admit of demi-tints, but no
shades. Ecru grounds are just 10Y the
most popular fer the aeher description
of carpets. The variety of patterns that
are turned out allow of the carpets Sc
lect for the rooms of q house to repre-
sent the individual taste of the occupant.
and thus ON individual grounds creating
pleasure in addition to the merits they
possess as agreeable compositions.
In the way of direction In the choice
ofpatterns, so far as colors are concerned
we would state that combination of
colors that would not be pleasing in o
dress are unsuited for carpets and will
never look we'll in q room. A tailor
has made a very effective stair carpet of
patterns neatly sewn together, as In
patchwork, and edged with scarlet two
inches wide. He has taken care to have
the patterns all the same size, and they
look like thick striped material.

With respect to clothing, one needs to
consult the thermometer at this season
more than at any other in the year. LIN

dent to throw off some Of the clothing

dure with impnnity abrupt changes from

In the fall. Shut up In the house as we
