WASHINGTON, March 7.-Promptly
at IL o'clock four of President Cleve-
lands Cabinet, Bsyard, Whitney,
Endicott and Garland entered the
office of Secretary of State. Mrs.
Eudicott, wife of the new Secretary
of War, accompanied the party, as
did also Justice Field of the United
States Supreme Court. Immediately
after entering Bayard took the oath
of office, which was administered by
Justice Field. Secretary Freling-
huysen and ex-Assistant Secretary
Davis were present, also Senator
Payne (Ohio), and ex-Attorney Gen.
eral Pierrepont. The party then went
to the room occupied by Secretary
Chandler, where Whitney took the
oath of Office as Secretary of the
Navy. In Secretary LincOln's Office
where Lieutenant General Sheridan
and staff and other officers Of the
War Department were assembled,
the oath was administered to Endi-
colt.
Mr.. Endicott entered the room on
the arm of Bayard. AS soon as JUS
tice Field had administered the oath
the various army officers were IN turn
introduced to the new Secretary
by Mr.. Lincoln. Attorney General
Garland was sworn into office
at the Department of Justice. The
oath was administered aby Justice
Field in the presence of ex-Attorney
General Brewster, secretaries Bayard,
Manning, Whitney, Endicott, Lamar
and few others. Brewster will con-
tinue to act as attorney general until
Monday, when he will formally pre-
sent his successor to the United
States Supreme Court. The partv
proceeded from the Department Of
Justice to the Treasury Department
where the oath of Office was admin
listed to Secretary Manning.
Postmaster General Villas and Sec
retary of the Interior, Lamar, also
took the oath of office and entered on
the discharge of their duties. There
was little formality in the ceremony
in either case. The rush of visitors
to the White House continues to-day
with no apparent decrease in num-
Der. The majority merely called to
pay their respects to the President,
but many came on business.

The first ascent of the Aiguille
Blanche de Penterie, that unoccupied
peak of the Mont Blanc range, which
two years ago cost tho life of Professor
Balfour and his guide, has been success
fully accomplished by Mr.. II. s. King,
of London, and three guides. The climb
from Courmayeur occupied seven hours.
Hitherto II had been questioned whether
the unfortunate professor had scaled the
peak before his fatal fall, but as no trace
of his success was found by Mr.. Kings
party, he evidently persisted In the
ascent.

Sap Flow.


The sap of most plants, says a
writer in the New York Tribune, is
taken from the soil by the power of
causing osmosis which the roots poss-
ess. This force is known to be suhi-
cient to raise the fluid to height of
over one hundred feet unaided, and
give rise to what is generally known
as root pressure. In the stem the
fluid passes through the vessels or
ducts Of the pitted cells of the plant
which, like the pine, have few vessels.
These are all minute tubes, in which
the sap is supported by capillary at
traction, so that the root pressure is
generally considered to be amply suf-
ficient to force the current to the top
of the highest tree. But its motion
upward is induced by the pumping
action of the leaves, from which large
quantities of water evaporate.
The ducts and pitted cells through
which the stream flows, are not en-
tirely filled with sap, but include bub-
bles of gas with it. AS water is
withdrawn from the uppernfost cells
by evaporation, the air in them ex-
pands to occupy the additional space,
and so exerts less pressure than at
first. This allows some of the water
lower down to be forced upward and
into them by the elasticity of the air
bubbles in the other cells, the ad-
justment going on from above down
ward-the tendency being to equalize
the gas pressure throughout the en-
tire plant. While evaporation con-
tinues, this equilibrium is never
reached, when it stops, the balance
may be affected and the sap remain
quiet, supported by root pressure and
capillary, unless some disturbing ele-
ment is introduced.
This exact balance is probably
never reached, even when the leaves
are off the trees. The sun warns
one part of the stem more than anoth-
err, and the temperature of the whole
changes from hour to hour and from
day to day. Every change of this
sort causes the air within the cells to
expand or contract. and so leads to a
movement of sap from the root up
ward or from one part of the trunk
to another. The flow of maple sap
in the spring illustrates this nicely.
On cold nights the air in the cells con.
tracts, and the space it occupied is
filled with sap from below ground
When the sun strikes the tree the
next morning and warns it up, the
bubbles of gas again expand and
drive the sap out whenever twig
has been broken or hole bored into
the trunk.

The instantaneous Photograph.

How is it with the Photographic
camera and lens, our artificial eye?
We will suppose that everything is in
readiness, that its retina or sensitive
plate is in perfect condition, and that
not ray of light has yet entered
within the darkened chamber. In
stead of being "the twinkling of an
eye," we shall arrange so that the
time elasping between the opening
and closing of the artificial eyelid
shall be less than one-tenth of a Sec
ond, or far less than the time necessa-
ry for eyes to open and shut. 1t shall
be as nearly instantaneous as posi-

1t has opened and shut. What has it
seen in that little instant Of time?
If anything is in motion, it has
been perceived in that fragment of a
second as if motionless. Men walk
ing along the street are pictured with
uplifted feet. A trotting-horse may
be caughl with all of its four legs in
the air, viewed just at the moment
when he was clear of the GROUND. A
man leaping with high pole may be
pictured in mid-air, precisely in the
position in which he appears at the
highest altitude. Motion seems rest.
But this is not the most wonderful
of its powers. Far beyond the keen.
ness of human vision is its range Of
glass will have recorded and discern
ed thousand uplifted faces as per-
fectly as the human eye perceives the
features of a single countenance.
Every expression of joy or sorrow,
every popularity of dress or attitude,
the leaves of forest or the grass by
the wayside, will have been seen and
delineated and retained perfectly in
far less than the briefest possible
twinkling of a human eye.-Popular

Cure for Piles.

Piles arc frequently preceded by sense
OF weight In the back, loins, and lower
part of the abdomen, causing the patient
to suppose he has some ELECTION of the
kidneys or neighborng organs. Attimes,
symptoms of indigestions are present,
fatulency, uncasness Of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing
very dsagreeable itching, after getting
warm, Is a common attendant. Blind,

You can not fall asleep,
Just resOlutely close your eyes,
Bee field-path before you rise,
And call the dreamland sheep.
They come, they come, hurrying crowd.
Swift-bounding, one by one;
They reach the wall In cager chase;
The leader finds the lowest place;
They cross, and on they run.
OH many times on sleepless nights
watch the endless throng,
Their pretty heads. their woody backs;-
As crowding In each others tracks
They press and race along.

On ono stone standing still;
Makes It's small leap like those before,
Thon with Its mates, score after score,
Goes scampering down hill.

RASCALS IN BUSINESS.
Wicked Devices to Rob the People and De-
stroy Their Health.

Wicked Devices to Rob the People and De-
stroy Their Health.
In country like this, where butter
and cheese-making may be prosecuted
so extensively that even the poorest man
may have bountiful supply of these
dairy products on his table, it is an in
famous crime to put hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of pretended but
ter and cheese on the market. Besides
the millions of pounds of grease now dis
posed of in the name of butter, consid-
cradle business has grown up in the
manufacture of cheese which is not
cheese, but which is made to look and
taste something like it, and can be sold
a good deal cheaper than the genuine
article, but which is dear ut any price.
These wretched devices to ROB the peo-
pie and destroy their health are also n
blow at legitimate industry, calling for
the most vigorous action on the part of
the Legislature, and yet in almost all
the States where anything like correc-
tive law-making has been attempted
disgraceful failure has been the result.
The number of men who are turning
their attention to these and other vii
famous counterfeiting operations is in
crcasing so rapidly that 1t may well be
asked if American smartncss is not so
far perverted that it prefers occupation
in knavish pursuits to any legitimate
calling. When people become so dis
honest as to direct their energies into
channels commonly reserved for the
swindler, when the same zeal would
bring quite as satisfactory returns If dis
played in legitimate enterprises, it is
time for Government to lay its hand on
them.
Food adulteration has assumed such
proportions in this country, where food
should always be cheap and bountiful,
that unless something shall be done to
check the evil, honest producers will
suffer materially and the public health
will be seriously undermined. Knowl-
edge of chemistry and compromising
which runs in such channels is species
of smartncss which no nation can toler-
ate with safety. II one man is to be
permitted to manufacture pretended
butter, another to make pretended
cheese, another to sell pretended coffee
and spices, and another to deal In pre-
| tended syrups or sugars, then let every
body adolt the thicf's motto as his own
and swindlc and steal unrcscrvedly. IL
it is worth while to make one man hon.
est by law II Is equally important to
make his neighbor honest in the Same
way.-Chicago Tribune.
