How to Mend a Broken Pipe.

The greatest calamity that can befall
a confirmed smoker is to have his cher

When this happens the fractured idol

the dismembered parts rejoined by
means of silver bands. This, of course.
is expensive; but when was the time
that Yankee could not overcome diff
ficulties of this sort at tritling cost? A
smoker of this place happened to drop
a handsome meerschaum pipe from his
knees to the floor and the stem parted
in the middle. His friends Immediate
ly expressed their sympathy with him,
but the man was not in the least dis
turbed by the disaster. He simply
drew his knife from his pocket, ex-
tracted blood from his arm with one of
the keen blades, and rubbing the bro
ken ends of the pipe in the fluid, placed
them together, and laid the article on

The Rhea Plant.

The Indian Rhea plant possesses sucn
a tenacious fiber that it was long age
pointed out that it would be of great
value for various manufacturing pur-
poses; but a difficulty stood in the way,
because of there being no machine
known by which the grower could pro-
duce from it clean and unbroken fiber
fit for market. Thereupon. the ind an
Government offered a valuable prize tc
the inventor of the coveted machine.
At the recent Calcutta exhibition, nine
machines were shown of more or less
merit. but only one fulfilled all the con-
ditions laid down by the authori-
ties. This is called the Universal Fiber
Cleaning Machine, and its main feature
consists of an iron drum upon which
several metal heaters are bolted As
it revolves, a Jet of water releases the
refuse loosened by the heaters, and al
so softens the gummy matter by which
the fibers are bound together. The cost
of the machine is small, and it can be
driven by steam or by bullocks. 1t is
anticipated that this invention will
open up a new source of textile in
dustry, and will be especially valuable
in certain distr cts of India where the
Rhea plant grows wild and has been
hitherto looked upon as numbering the
ground.--N. Y. Post.

Orchard grass is robust grower
and very tenacious of life. 1t masses
its roots so as to resist the encroach-
ment of other grasses, covering much
of the ground with its large pendant
leaves that spring out near the base of
the plant to shade, nourish and en-
rich the soil not occupied by the plant
itself. This. perhaps, accounts largely
for its ability to endure excessive
drought. 1t will produce two large
crops of good hay on rich soil, and
submit to more abuse than any other
forage plant. except blue grass, which
is of little value in very dry season.

GENERAL GORDON.
How the Dead Hero Lived, and What
Were His Personal Habits.

How the Dead Hero Lived, and What
Were His Personal Habits.
General Gordon's habit of life was
in society, and dinner parties he es-
pecially abhorred. If friend invited
him to dine, he would remark that he
had a dinner at home, and that his
would-be host had better invite some
body who had none. 1t is no secret,
however, that Gordon's meals were
very often anything but appetizing. A
story is told of a friend of his who
found him sitting down to a stale loaf
and pot of tea. On remark being
made as to the dryness OF the bread,
Gordon crammed it into a slop basin
and poured all the tea over it with the
remark that it would soon be ready to
eat, and that in half an hour it
would not matter what he had eaten.
Gordon's principal delight consisted n
the rescue of street Arabs and other
equally neglected children, scores Of
whom he literally picked out of the
gutter" and placed in the way of earn
ing an honest living. HIS care for these
lads was unceasing. He would take
them to his house cleanse them, clothe
them, and perhaps keep them for weeks
until a suitable situation could be found
for them. Curiously enough. he had
an objection to sending these boys into
the army, and much preferred their
go ng to sea. In the great majority of
cases, indeed. he paid premiums for
their apprenticeship to merchant YES

The Prince of Wales as an Extemporane-
Speech Maker.
There are very few men in England
who can make as good a speech as the
Prince of Wales. His voice is singu-
larly tar-reaching, clear, pleasant, and
his delivery is simple and dignified.
But it must not be supposed that the
ease and fiuency which now character
ize his public discourses were attained
without trouble, or that the Prince is
one of the ''mob of gentlemen who
speak at ease" and have very little
to say worth listening to. At first,
when he had to address an audience
and it fell to his lot to begin speech
making whilst he was very young in
deed-he spoke with some hesitation.
and he gave his audience the idea of
one who would be very glad when he
could sit down; but by persistent prac-
tice, stimulated by the certainty that he
mustl look forward to constant calls upon

duty, the Prince overcame the difficult

Human Endurance.

1t is an acknowledged fact that man
possesses the power of endurance to a
greater degree than any of the lower
animals. Professional pedestrians have
been known to walk an average of one
hundred miles per day for six consecu-
tive days, which would be wonderful
accomplishment for horse, and sur
pass all the known records of that use
full animal. OF course man possessing
the mower of endurance to its fullest
extent must be in perfect health. One
who is troubled with weak urinary and
digestive organs, whose pulse is irregl-
lar, whose heart palpitates, and who
feels a sense of burdensome fatigue
after the least exertion, would be very
unwise to compete in pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from
want of endurance, you can regain ro-
bust health and strength by using DR..
GUYSOTT'S YELLOW DOCK AND SARSA-
PARlllA. This remedy has saved thou
sands of weak, nervous, debi'itated,
rickcty head-aching mortals to lives of
usefulness and the full enjoyment of
perfect health. 1t removes all blood
impurities, aches, pains, sores, pimples,
etc, and assists nature in controlling
ard supporting harmonious routine
of bodily functions, so essential to
every ones physical welfare.
