Tha Lanruara Of umhrellas.

There is language of umbrellas
as of flowers. For instance, place
your umbrella in a rack and it will
change owners. To open it quickly
in the street means that somebody's
eye is going to be put out; to shut
it, that a hat or two is to be knock
ed of. An umbrella carried by a
woman, the man getting nothing
but the drippings of the rain, signi-
fies courtship. When a man has
the umbrella and the woman the
drippings it indicates marriage. To
punch your umbrella into person
and then open it means 81 dislike
you" To swing your umbrella
oyer your head signifies making a
nuisance of myself" To trail your
umbrella along the foot-path, that
the man behind you is thirsting for
your blood. To carry 1t at right
angles under your arm signifies that
an eye is to be lost by the man that
follows you. To open an umbrella
quickly, it is said, will frighten
mad bull. To put cotton umbrel-
la beside a silk one means "Ex-
change is no robbery" To pur-
chase an umbrella means 'I am not
smart, but honest." To lend an
umbrella indicates 81 am a TOOL"
To return an umbrella means-well,
never mind what it means, nobody
ever does that. To turn an umbrel-
la in a gust of wind presages pro-
family. To carry your umbrella
just high enough to tear out eyes
and knock off mems hats signifies
81 am a woman" To press an um-
brella on friend, saying, 30, do
take it; / had much rather you
would than not" signifies lying.
To give friend half of your um-
brella means that both of you will
get wet. To carry it home in the
morning means "It will clear f."-

Prevention Of Noise.

To those who carry on any operations
requiring much hammering or FOUNDER
ing, simple means of deadening the
noise of their work is a great relief,
Several methods have been suggested
but the best are probably these: 1.
Rubber cushions under the legs of the
work bench. Chambers Journal de-
scribes factory where the hammer OF
fifty coppersmiJhs was scarcely audible
in the room below, their benches having
under each leg a rubber cushion. 2.
Kegs of sand or cawdust applied in the
same way. a few inches of sand or
sawdust is first poured in each keg on
this is laid board or block upon which
the legs rests, and round the leg and
block is poured fine dry sand or saw
dust. Not only all noise, but all vibra-
tiOn and shock, is prevented and al or
binary anvil, so mounted, may be used
in dwelling house without annoying
the inhabitants. To amateurs, VIII ose
workshops are almost always located in
dwelling houses, this device affords a
cheap and simple relief from a very
great annoyance.

The cheapening Effect of Protection

The cheapening Effect Of Protection
w. w. Eaton; There was a Ger.
tain professor IN my country, the
Orist of the first water, a man who
does not know any more about the
practical tariff than I know about
the Hebrew he is well acquainted
with. This professor came up into
a large manufacturing village in my
county to make a theoretical speech,
such one as my friend from Ohio
delights in. There was a farmer
standing by a post in the lecture
room and the professor thought he
might be good subject to operate
upon; so he said to him: ''My
friend, you are farmer?' .'Yee."
"You live hereP" 'Yes." 'Do you
know these manufacturers in this
village are robbing youY' ."why,
no, did not know it. How can
they rob me? 1 csme here ten
years ago with $5O5;.I bought a
farm, running in debt $4,000 for my
farm and stock. / went to work
raising truck for this village. l
paid my debt and have got money
in the savings bank and do not owe
any man a dollar. How have they
ruined me?" The professor said,
"Well, it appears you have been
hardworking man and have lived it
through. But you pay 6 cents
yard for the very cloth your shirt
Is made Of" swell, professor" re-
piled the farmer, "you may think
so, but you cannot prove it by your
algebra or your logarithms; you
cannot prove it unless by Aesop's
fables; for did not give but cents
a ward for the cloth"

In the ''Farm Ballads" an American
poet puts into the lips of a repent
ant husband after life of married
perturbation these suggestive
words:
"And whom she dies I wish that she would
be laid by me,
And lying together in silence, perhaps we
will agree;
And il ever we meet in heaven would not
think it queer,
1t we loved each other better because we
quarreled here"

A new material in the arts and
manufactures made its first appear
ances in the United States about
the year 1869. 1t vas the result of
a series of chemical experiments by
men who were not chemists, but
experiments seeking a substitute
for ivory. 1t is more than likely
that its final discovery was acciden-
tai, like the discovery of the mode
of vuloanizing india rubber, and
like the discovery of many of the
great inventions. It took i've years
of experiment after Its discovery to
make it a marketable commodity.
In the ten years since that time it
has taken rank with the leading
compounds of commerce and manu-
facture, such as india rubber, glass,
steel and paper. In its peculiar and
varied utility it is superior to india
rubber, and new modes of use are
being found for it almost daily.
1t is as hard as emory, as delicate as
tortoise shell, as flexible as india
rubber, as durable as iron, and as
elastic as ivory. 1t resists acids
and alkalies, and is unaffected by
atmospheric changes. 1t can be
moulded, or carved, or turned into
any desired form, and its natural
state being colorless, it can be col
ored to any desirable shade. The
name of this modern Proteus is eel
luloid. Celluloid is produced by
dissolving gun cotton in camphor
with the aid OF heat and pressure.
