MECHANICAL NOIES.

If the mandrel is tight fit when cold,
il will be apt to spring the saw when it is
heated.
The redwood posts of a fence erected in
Napa thirty-two years ago were recently
removed, and found in as good condition
as when first put into the ground.
Grecian mythology tells us thai the in
ventor of the saw once found the w-bone
of a snake and used it to cut through
piece of wood, then initiated it by tagging
an iron plate, and thus made a saw.
An English lockmaker has constructed
key which he says is capable of
opening %, 600 patent lever locks, all
of which differ in their wards or
combinations. As described, the KEY
weighs three ounces, is nickel plated, and
is said to be the result of three years labor
on the part of the inventor in making
drawings Of different wards and CONT ina
tons.

was imported from Spain for this special
purpose, and was mixed with the old lead
in the proportion of one part of the latter
to two of the former. The total weight OF
the new covering is about $50 tons, and ii
is calculated that if laid in sheets, one fifth
of an inch in thickness, it would cover a
space of above 10000 square feet.
There is science, after all, in so simple
a matter as driving nail. A correspond

The first nails, after passing through an

an inch and then doubled up under the
hammer. The tips of the rest of the nail.

For you vary the usual order of sport:
You take what you please while you play your
tricks.
No doubt it serves well as a source of fun
To match your lovers, this one against that;
Though perhaps when the evenings amuse-

But suppose that by chance in the dead of night,
When you dream with disdain of our being

That whilewe seem bent to your fingers control.
And are played with, yet we too are taking 3

DOMESTIC RECIPES.

SALEM PUDDING. - One cup of suet
chopped fine, one cup molasses, little salt,
one cup of milk, two teaspoonsful cream
tartar, one cup raisins, one teaspoonful
of soda, three and one-h half cups flour
Steam three hours.
CoCoANUT PUDDING.-Boil one pint of
milk with one teaspoonful of butter in it.
Pour il over very small, grated cocoanut.
When cold add three eggs, beaten, with half
a cup of sugar and a pinch of salt Have
a deep dish lined with nice pastry, pour
the mixture into it and bake until it is set.
PEACH TAPIoCA.-Soak some tapioca over
night, and in the informing boil until ii is
perfectly clear, adding more water, from
to time, as needed. Take some very fine
peaches, cut them fine with silver knife
sprinkle literally with sugar, and when
you take the tapioca from the stove stir
the peaches into it. Eat cold with sugar
and cream.
To CORN BEEF OR PoRK.-To one gallon
of water take one and a half pounds of
salt, half pound of sugar, and q half
ounce of saltpeter. Boil these together I'M
til the scum ceases to rise. Skim as the
sediment rises to the surface, then take it
off and set it away to cool. When cold
pour it over the meat. The meat will be
sufficiently corned to use in eight or ten
days. 1t may be kept for weeks.
Snow PUDDING.-Take one-half box of
gelatine, add to it one pint boiling water,

or salad maker who understands just how
the various ingredients of a salad dressing
should be mixed, or how important it is to
conduct the operation with thought. The
mayonnaise dressing. which is probably
the best known and best liked, should be
made in this way: Beat one raw egg in an
earthen cake dish until it is smooth, then
add olive oil, very little at a tine, care
fully stirring it into the eggwith your right
hand as yon drop it in with the left. When
the egg and oil make thick mixture pour
a little vinegar over it, then stir in more
oil, and so on in this way until you have
the desired quantity of dressing; season

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Professor Turner, of Edinburgh, in Civ
ing an account OF the Sowerby's whale
(McsoploIon 5ideHS) recently obtained from
the Shetland Islands, called particular at
tention TO the great compleXity presented
by the stomach. which indicated by It's
contents that the animal fed upon fish.
Last spring ice in the Atlantic ocean
penetrated very far TO the south and east
in consequence of continuous nOrtheriy
and northwesterly gales, and several ice
bergs occurred even in the Gulf Stream.
From extensive observation it is asserted
that the first recession northward OF At
lantic ice is toward the end of June, and
that it remains longest between the Banks
and the east coast of Newfoundland.
In a recent paper by NJ. Lagneau it was
stated that N. Perrin, who has studied an
cient an9sthetics, has given the compost
ton of a liquid which contains all the in
gradients required for chloroform, and it is
said that this was applied to witnesses or
prisoners who were about to be tortured in
the Middle Ages. After inhaling this an
aesthetic the unfortunate subject was
plunged into a cemi-comatose state, which
diminished III q certain degree the pain of
the torture.
The Academy Of Sciences, Paris, had
submitted to it on July goth paper by
NM. P. Regnard and p Loye on certain
experiments made on the body of a crimi-
nal recently guillotined at Troyes These
xperiments-the reading in detail of
which is far from agTeeable-mainly con-
firm the conclusions of the observations of
the phenomena presented by the lower
animals just after their heads are taken of,

Silver articles are soon blackened by the
sulphuretted hydrogen contained in the at
mosphere of all large rooms. Protective
wrappers for silverware are, however, very
easily made at very small cost. Caustic
soda is dissolved in water until the hydro
meter shows 200 Beaume To this Is added
oxide Of zinc in the proportion of about
two-thirds of the caustic soda, and the
moisture is boiled until solution is effected
Sufficient water must now be introduced to
reduce the solution TO i00 Beaume. Into
this preparation paper or calico is dipped.
When the wrappers are dried they are ready

Unpleasant Neighbors in Queensland.

Harold Finch Hatton, in his new book,
" In Queensland, y tells of some of the pleas
ant things diversifying life in the colony
The scrub, as the forests of Queensland are
called, is beautiful; but the monotony of
the endless timber is appalling, and it is
easy TO realize terrible madness that so
often comes over those who get lost in the
bush. The only changeis from white gum
trees on the flats to black iron banks on The
ridges, and one ridge and one fiat is so like
another to an inexperienced eye that it
seems incredible that any one can ever find
the way about" The author went to his
brothers cattle station and was put into a
80 slab hut, through the spaces of which,
as he lay in bed, he commanded fine view
OF the surrounding country, while when it
rained five little streamlets of water de-
scended on his bed" On going to bed he
found huge snake coiled up in it, which
turned out, luckily, to be a tame one be-
longing to his brothers partner But in
Queensland " there are five deadly kinds, -
one eight or nine feet long; I" but by far
the worst is the death adder. 1t has this
popularity; it does not attempt to move
out of anybody's way, but lies quite still
until 1t is touched when it fastens with a
spring upon its victim. | have never known
a well-authenticated instance of recovery
from it, except in the case of one Under
wood, who used to let any snake bite him.
and by means of antidote never suffered
harm. The Victorian Government foolishly
refused to give him $4,000 for his secret
and as he one day let snake bite him
when he was drunk, and had forgotten
where he had put his antidote, this all val
liable secret died with him. Then there
are other cheerful beasts. "A small black
spider, about the size of a large pea, with a
brilliant crimson mark upon its back, fire.
quently takes up its abode in an inhabited
house, and does not wait to be provoked be-
fore attacking Death is by no means an
uncommon result, but more frequently the
victim becomes hopelessly insane, or is
paralyzed." And there are centipedes and
scorpions, and the real pests of the bush, -
worse than mosquitoes, the flies. Then
there are the blacks, who, even when hall
tame in the settled districts, cannot resist
the temptation of spearing a traveller" 10
say nothing of lifting the cattle. Mr.. Finch
Hatton's partner was digging one dav in
the garden. Suddenly he became aware
that half dozen of these % ingalls," as
they are called, were creeping at him
through the grass, armed with spears and
boomerangs. He waited until they got
about fifty yards off, and then, as they
stood up ready to sling their spears at him,
he suddenly pointed his spade at them like
gun. Two warriors fell fiat down on the
spot from sheer fright, upsetting a third
who was Just about starting to flee. Two
of the remaining then tried to run away SO
fast that they hardly made any progress at
all, and the last one, while scattering g
Parthian glance at the object of terror in
his rear, ran with awful violence against q

Diseases of eholersic type prevail or there

TO BABY EVELYN.

Our darling, our rosebud, our jewel bright,
Our bonnie baby, our hearts delight
No name for her is too rare or sweet.
From the star above TO the flower at our feet
a golden tangle of soft, soft hair
Frames an arched forehead, Madonna fair:
Roses and lilies play hide and-seek
Amid the dimples of each rounded cheek.
Not alone for her lovely dimpled face,
Her dainty figure and winning grace,
For clear shining eyes and teeth of pearl,
Do we tenderly love this dear little girl;
But for her bright and bewitching smile
For her loving heart, so free from guile,
And intelligence, with its pure ray
Unfolding her mind like a rose each day.
May guardian angels, who dwell above,
Keep our darling with tenderest love,
Still pure and sweet as the lily's bloom,
Till for her in Paradise they shall find room.
