AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The serial and short stories in Hdrper's Young
People have all the dramatic interest that juvenile
fiction possess, while they are wholly free from
what is pernicious or vulgary sensational. The
humorous stories and pictures are full of innocent
fun, and thepapers on natural history aud science,
travel, and the facts of ife are by writers whose
names give the best assurance of accuracy and
value. Illustrated papers on athletic sports,
games, and pastimes give full information on these
subjects. There is nothing cheap about it but its
nrice.

EXudatiOnS on BrickWOrk.

According to the american Arcfiiect,
the simplest and least expensive method
for removing saltpeter exudations from
brickwork, when the efflorescences are
in positions where the sun and wind do
not have free access, is to wash it off
with diluted hydrochloric or common
muriatic acid of commerce. This acid
is very inexpensive; twenty-five cents
worth would be sufficient to clean a
front of twenty feet wide by sixty feet
in height, if such front was totally
covered with the Objectionable exuda-
ton. About one-halfpound of the acid
is used with an ordinary pailful of wa
ter, the application being made with
sponge, which can be held in the naked
hand or attached to stick to reach the
spots, as may be desired. When the
efflorescences have been thus removed,
it is perfectly useless, in the present
state of knowledge, to attempt to stop
temperance, for when circumstances
are again favorable, the saltpeter exuda-
tions will promptly spread themselves
OfCI Tic Walls.
EGPeter Henderson, in illustrating
how little the graft is influenced by the
stock, says that if we take graf. from
the sourest crab apple, and insert it in a
branch of the sweetest apple tree we
can find, the shoot which grows from
the crab graft will ever remain crab,
in no way affected by the sweet apple
stock on which it is growing. The re-
suit will be the same if the operation is
reversed, with the sweet apple grated
on the sour; the individuality will not
be changed. Or, you may take young
seeding apple tree, graft another into
it, and then another into the last growth,
and so on with many successive gratis,
rubbing off all the shoots that start below,
the last graft will hold its identify un-
changed. Or, you may set hundred
kinds of roses into bush which has a
hundred branches, ofalldifferent colors,
forms and odors. Each will hold its
own character for color, form and fra

during his first sermon to introduce the
word "optics." At the conclusion of
the service farmer who was present
thanked him for his discourse, but in
timated that he had made a small mis-

the same time the severity of his criti-

BIThe Japanese dentist does not
Brighten his patient with an array of
steel instruments. All ofhis operations
in tooth drawing are performed by the
thumb and forefnger of one hand
The skill necessary to do this only
acquired after long practice, but once
it is obtained the operator is able to
extract a half dozen teeth in about
thirty seconds without once removing
his fingers from the patients mouth
The dentists education commences
with the pulling out of pegs which
have been pressed into soft wood it
ends with the drawing of hard pegs
which have been driven into an oak
plank with mallet. A writer in the
Union Medicale says that no human jaw
can resist the delicate but powerful
manipulation of the Japanese dentist.
BgYou have all heard the story of
the painter of olden time who exposed
his picture to the public criticism, and
put paint brush handy that anybody
might paint out any particular feature
he did not approve. Of course the
stupid man soon found out that every
body had some fault to find, and his
picture was totally obliterated. Just as
it was with that artists picture, SO it is
with the life-work of the majority
Somebody will be pretty sure to take
crooked and distorted view of our
characters and doings, however mer-
itorious they may be. Some will do
this wilfully and maliciously, others
through misunderstanding.

General Grant and the Artist.


The following anecdote Of General Grant,
hitherto unpublished shows his utter repug.
nance to anything like snobbishness or ostenta-
ton. Several years ago, shortly after he came
to New York to live permanently certain
noted artist desired to paint his portrait Con-
sent was given, and the artist, who is particu-
larly noted for his elegant department and
arstocratie bearing called at the house. The
General met him with his usual blunt and open
manner and invited HIM into the parlor, where
the first sitting was to be given. The artist re-
moved his gloves daintily perfumed got the
canvas ready, and placed the General in posi-
ton. He then began work There was a knock
at the door.
''Come in." said General Grant.
1t was Mrs Grant She wanted some money
for marketing. The artist struck heroic att-
tude at his easel, and saw the General pull out
faded and much worn old-fashoned pocketbook.
He then unwound a yard of string and got the
money out and handed it to his wife, who de-
parted. Whether it was the long string or the
veteran pocketbook that shocked the refined ut
terly- y-too-utter sensibilities of the artist will
never be known, but painful expression. gath
cred on his mobile face as he commenced work
again. The day was warm. The artist per-
spired. He stepped to the bell-cord and pulled

II only rang for a servant to bring me drink

The General never said word, but got mp
