Artistic Mechanics.

A recent notice of mechanic in
Massachusetts who is an expert in that
department of natural history of which
the butterfly is the chief representative,
suggests other and similar instances.
1t may be that the eXactness required
in mechanical work develops a taste
for close study, or it may be that ma
tural history and pure science become
pleasant foils to the monOtony of me-
chanical work; but it is the fact that
some practical, day-working mechan-
les stand high in some scientific spe-
cialties.
There is a machinist-a fine tool
maker is well known, and widely
known, as an amateur astronomer.
He has contributed Importantly to the
science, and is not surpassed in nicely
and preciseness in designing astrOnom-
zeal mechanism.
Another is an expert steel engraver
by choice and as pastime, and yet,
incredible as it may appear, he is q
smith or forger, handling steel and iron
il bars and the heavy hammer of the
blacksmith all day, and doing delicate
steel engraving at night or on ''otl
hours" He has nearly finished de-
signing and engraving a series plates
representing the childish legend Of the
death of Cock Robin, the proofso
which are really fine.
One left the machine shop three
years ago, and set up as an engravcr
on iewelry, plate, and similar articles.
He originates all his designs, and rare
" makes a second drawing. He is a
wonderful producer of elegant and leg
ible monographs. A set of six silver
buttons for vest. all uniform in gener-
al design and no two alike in particu-
lars, is very artistic, and yet he de-
signed and engraved the six while the
customer waited-perhaps an hour.
These two instances show that the bent
of the authors was naturally artistic
rather than mechanical.
There is a young man, thirty years
old, joiner, who is better authority on
the flora of Eew England than some Of
the authors of accepted textbooks.
The fields. pastures, woods, and by
WAYS are his haunts when he has an
hour I'm the season. He is not sur
passed as a hcrbalist, and is quoted as
dullOiIlN NHt1C liC - ktbh H.
A surgeon was spoiled when another
man, machinist went into the shop.
He acts at call in setting bones and re-
ducing sprains. He is so successful
that he is in the confidence OF the pro-
fessionals. who are not ashamed to pro-
fit by his suggestions.
This mechanic, however, only carries
to its ultimate faculty and a practice
that is not uncommon in the shops. 1t is
rare, indeed, that in case of an ordi-
nary accident in the shop there is neces-
sity for outside aid. When the writer
was a youngster he lodged piece of
the sharp, hammer hardened head of
cold chisel in one eye. The ''shop-sur-
geon' applied a powerful magnet
without avail. Then he cut out the
obstrusive particle with keen penknife
blade. making an incision just as he
might in finger. A professional sur
geon who afterward examined the eye
said that it was a very creditable
job. Scientific American.

Light Drinks for Hot weather.

Any kind of fruit syrup mixed with
iced water makes delicious summer
drink, and if few drops of vinegar OF
of lemon juice be added it will be all
the more refreshing The following is
very generally liked: A pint of milk,
mixed with bottle of Apollinaris wa
ter, little ice and sugar to the taste
shake well together and serve IN tum-
blers, with nutmeg grated on the top.
For lemonade: Pare two lemons very
thin, remove the white part, cut up the
lemons into thin slices and take cut all
the pips; put the thin rind and the pulp
into a pitcher, with powdered sugar tc
taste (about J pounG), pour one quart
of boiling water over and leave it until
cold; strain into a jug or decanter. Oh
this way; Put 2 pounds of white sugar
into 2 quarts of water, that has been
boiled, add to this the juice of eight
lemons; when the sugar is melted
strain through napkin and serve.

A very young girl is certainly not
capable of choosing husband. She
takes it fol granted that men are al
ways as she sees them in society-polite
friendly, and on their good behavior.
If she marries early in life the
man who happens to please her fancy,
she learns to her sorrow that in nine
cases out of ten man at home and
man in society are widely different be-
ings Five years at that period of life
produce a great change in opinions and
feelings. We frequently come to de-
test at Is what we admired as 16 We
advance from the tatly candy-and pea
nut age to the era of gum-drops and
maron glaces. and even in later years
to loose our yearnlngs for those dain-
ties. Similar changes take place in
the moral and spiritual nature. Why
should we feel the same toward persons
in after life, when we have learned to
distinguish between the false and the
true. the bad and good any more than
we should like dime novels after we
have become acquainted with Dickens,
Thackeray, and Shakespeare? How few
comparatively of the schoolgirl friend
ships extend into later life. How few
of our companions in society do we love
as well after twenty years have passed.
How few even of our own brothers and
sisters in whom we do not see faults we
could wish eradicated. Considering
all this, how is it possible for one to
feel surprised when q couple who
marry in their teens grow to love each
other less as years roll by? When both
grow alike whether it be rapidly or
slowly, backward or forward. there is
some hope of ever seeing each other
with the same eyes; but when one pro-
crosses and the other retrogrades,
difference springs up between them,
and in time one looks down upon the
other with a feeling of superiority, per-
haps unconfessed but still there; while
the other, unable to perceive the real
cause of the trouble, grows at length to
dislike what was once loved. And thus
il happens that those who love at 10
are Indifferent at % aud sometimes di-

marriages is the pernicious habit of

crease % interest; the fourth and fifth
were still better attended, a. the first
corners spread the history of the move
mcnt: and it may as well be said here
that although there were fluctuations
in the degree of interest attending the
meetings during the winter, there were
never less pupils than on the first eve
ming. and frequently the number was
doubled.
Among the mill girls was one who
had learned dress-making, and Mrs.
Christian, who had hand like Katy
Scudder 5, that never saw the thing il
could not do, inaugurated dress
making class. From the mending
school sprang a cooking school, taught
gratmtously by skilled instructors, aud
more than one mill girl exchanged the
whir and rattle of machinery in the
great factory for the song of tea
kettle in "a quiet kitchen.
When the dark days of '.the strike"
came, newcomers found their way to
the hall, and although Mrs. Christian
had at first steadfaStly set her face
against giving anything but friendly
labor in the school, she holding that
frequent and unwise gifts promote
pauperism and beggary, She now found
herself gradually yielding her position
for a time, helping to distribute needed
articles among the destitute, and be-
coming the almoner of others bounty.
People in the city found out the quiet
work which was going on, and ilocked
in to advise, criticise, and suggest
some few to go to work and help.
But this strike passed away, so did
the winter, and Mrs. Christian re-
turned to her own home in another
city. The novel work which she had
instituted did not die; it lived and
flourished, and many home had its
comfort enhanced and income increased
by the skill acquired at Mrs Christian 5
mending school.

Mr.. Adams Battles Mules Feet.

Mr.. Archibald Adams, a teamster
who resides on the Brownsville road
had an interesting and celebrating ex-
perience yesterday morning. A week
ago Mr.. Adams bought pair of plain,
ordinary, everyday mules at the horse
market. Now, Mr.. Adams is a careful
man, and has a kind heart for animals.
So when he noticed in the farmer col
umn of a newspaper day or so ago
that it was an excellent thing 10 wash
the hoofs of horses occasionally in hot
water, he came to the conclusion that
he would try its beneficial effects on
those mules. He got a pail of hot wa
ter yesterday morning and hied him.

blinked at him with mild languid
air, fiirted their little tails about pleas

Mr.. Adams set the pail of water down
at the rear feet Of one of the mules.
The mule kept oil looking pleasant.
Then Mr.. Adams lifted up one of the
hoofs and carefully put it in the buck
