NIaXinlS.

Let us respect gray hairs; but, above
all, our own. Love, when it visits old
men, is like sunshine upon snow; it is
more dazzling tnan warming. We
forget the origin of parvenu if he re-
members 1t; we remember it if he for
gets it. The first love that enters the
heart is the last to leave the memory.
The truth about our merit lies midway
between what people say of it to us
out of pollteness aud what we say of it
ourselves out of modcsty. Where tie
intellectual level is low, charlatans rise
to distinction. They are like those
rocks on the seashore which only look
high at low water. Those whom ex-
perience does not render better are
taught by it to seem SO. To endeavor
TO move by the same discourse hearers
who differ in age, sex, position, and
education, is to attempt to open all
locks with the same key. The flavor
of 4 detached thought depends upon
the conciseness with which it is ex-
pressed. 1t is grain of sugar that
must be melted in drop OF water

EVERYBODY'S AIR BRAKE.

"Yes, sah," said Uncle Zach, Use

De fust of May an Christmas day of De
same year alters comes on de same week

Further conversation proved Uncle
Zach q most incredulous person. Chanc-
ing to mention DIR. Carver's feat of break
ing glass balls with rifle, he said:
Il heerd bout dat shootin' and knowed
right off it wasn't squar'; dat was a
Yankee trick, boss sho's you born"
"What was the trick %
"Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass
balls, an likewise onto de bullets; so
when de bullet fly outen de gun, it a. ,

course, brokes de glass-dats de trick"
Later, Uncle Zach observed rope
running along the side of the car.
"Boss, what's dat line fur?'
$50 apply the air brake III case of acci
dent" Then We had farther TO explain
how the force Of the brake was obtained,
TO which Uncle Zach responded:

There are great many Uncle Zachs
who Judge everything simply by appear
ances. The air brake does not seem to
be very powerful thing, but power and
efficiency are not necessarily equivalent
to bigness and pretense.

a remedy that cured him Of bright's dis

there is no mistake about it but that

Electrical CuriOSities,

Among the interesting articles that
we SELL" said a dealer in telegraphic
and electrical supplies, sis an improved
counting machine 1t is very useful
appliance for superintendent, tele-
graph inspectors, and others connected
with telegraph construction and repair
work. 1t is a curious instrument and
is about the size and shape of watch.
Carried in the hand single pressure
upon spring that it contains, records
one and so on up to 1000. 1t is used
FOR keeping tally of any kind, such as
counting poles, broken insulation,
making inspection tallies of materials,
etc.
"A curious name to an important
little article is the anti-hum. The null
tiplication of telegraph lines and their
connection with buildings of all kind,
has made a demand for stopping the
humming noise. The principle Of the
instrument is simple. An ordinary
shackle of galvanized iron is provided
with washer or cushion of soft rub
Der, which, when connected, takes the
strain off the wire, stopping its vibra-
ton, which is the cause of the noise
A loop of wire around the instrument
conveys the current. An instrument
of peculiar interest is an electro-me-
chanical tower-bell striker 1t is
adapted to strike by electrical connec-
ton large bells of from five hundred to
ten thousand pounds weight. 1t will
operate with a light battery power,
and all that is required in connection
with it is a simple key or prostitution
and battery. 1t is used for fire-alarm
purposes in connection with the tele-
phone exchanges. AS in many cases
the telephone is used for sending fire
alarms, the operator can with this ap-
paratus give the public alarm on any
near tower bell by the simple use of his
PROSECUTIONS.
IAN electric apparatus for blasting
is something novel to the general pub
lie, although it has been in use some
time. 1t is a magneto-electric instru-
ment of small size and weighs only
about sixteen pounds. 1t occupies
considerably less than one-half cubic
foot of space. 1t has a magnet of the
horseshoe character, of iron, wound
about with coils of insulated copper
wire; between the poles of the magnet
there is fitted to revolve an armature
of cylindrical construction, carrying in
its body other insulated wire cooled
ongitudinally as to the cylinder. The
rapid revolution of the armature by
suitable means generates and sustains
in the machine an accumulative cur
rent of voltaic electricity of great pow
er, which at the moment of its maxi
mum intensity is practically switched
off 10 the outside current in which are
the fuses, and in the interior of each
fuse the ignition is accomplished in
stantly. 1t was a machine of similar
description that was used in blasting

The Exploration of Hudson Bay.

In the month of February last a re-
port was laid before the Parliament of
Canada detailing the results of an ex-
petition dispatched by the Government
of that country particularly for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the navigability
of Hudson Strait and Bay, and, at the
anne time, of gathering information
concerning the resources Of that region,
and its availability as field for settled
habitation. This report represents tho
first properly organized attempt that
has ever been made to pierce the Sc
crets of Hudson Bay for the public
benefit.
1t is at first blush not easy to under
stand why this mighty expanse of wa
ter. occupying the peculiarly important
position that it does, should remain for
so many generations comparatively I'M
explored, and wholly unutilized, except
as hunting ground for New Bed
ford whalers, or a medium of easy COM
munlcation between some half-dozen
scattered factories of the Hudson Bay
Company. Although called a bay, it is
really an inland sea, | 900 miles in
length by 600 in width, having thus an
area of about 100000 square miles, or
quite half that OF the Mediterranean.
1t drains an expanse OF country spread
ing out more than 1900 miles from
east to west, and 100 from north to
south, or an area of 5000 GOO square
miles. Into its majestic waters pour
feeders which take their rise in the
Rocky Mountains on the west and in
Labrador on the east, while southwark
1t stretches out its III er-roots away be-
low the 49th parallel until they tap the
same lake-source which sends Il stream
into the Gulf of Mexico. Despite its
distance northward, its blue waves are
never bound by icy letters, and its
broad gateway to the Atlantic is GER
tainly navigable four months out of the
year, and possibly ali tie year round
to properly equipped steamships Its
depths abound in fnuy wealth, from
the mammoth whale to the tiny caplin.
Its shores are serrated by numerous
streams, some navigab!e for long dis
tances inland, and all stocked with the
finest of fresh-water fish, and clothed
as to their banks with valuable timber
ready for the lumberman 5 axe. Its is
lands are rich in mineral ore of many
kinds. The country whose margin its
tides lave is well adapted for tillage
and pasturage, while al around the re-
gion swarms with animals and birds
whose flesh or fur renders their chase

CoSstcks and Students.

An incident that occurred at Moscow
in December. 1880, affords an apt illus
tration of the trivial causes from which
disorders sometime arise. Prof. FERN
off was giving Il lecture on anatomy to
an attentive audience, when all at once
a loud and unusual noise was heard in
the next room, and most of the stu
dents ran out to see what had happen
ed. Nothing particular had happened,
but the professor, annoyed at the in
terruption of his lecture, made a COM
plant to the authorities The next
day it was stated that the complaint
had led to the expulsion of several
members of the anatomy class. A
punishment so severe for an offense so
venial kindled general Indignation. A
meeting was called and resolution
passed calling upon the rector for an
explanation. But instead of the rector
came the chief of the Moscow police.
followed by great array OF gen
darmes, Cossacks, and infantry, who
ordered the meeting to dispense. The
young fellows were now greatly ex-
cited, and, though they would have
listened to reason, refused obedience
to the behests of brute force. On this
the aula was surrounded by the sol
diers, all the issues were beset, the
students to the number of four hum
|.dred were taken prisoners, and amid
square of bayonets marched off to
jail. Affairs of this sort do not ALWAYS
end with simple arrests AT the least
show of resistance the foot soldiers
make free use of the butt ends of their
muskets, the Cossacks ply their whips,
the faces of the students stream with
blood, some are thrown wounded to
the ground, and there ensues terrible
scene of armed violence and unavail-
ing resistance. 1t happened thus at
Kharkoff, in November, 1873, when
some troubles arose from mere mis-
understanding between a professor at
the veterinary college and one of his
classes, a misunderstanding which a
few words of explanation would have
sutficed to remove. 1t was thus at
Moscow and St. Petersburg during the
disorders of 1861, 1868, and 1866, and
in certain circumstances the law sane
tions even grosser outrages. In 1873
an enactment, the cruelty of which it
is impossible to exaggerate, was pro-
mulgated. considering" it ran,
1.-The frequency of students meetings
in the universities and public schools,
the law concerning seditious gather
ings in the streets and other public
places is applied to all buildings and
establishments used as colleges and
superior schools" Thus all students
in Russia are placed permanently under
martial law. A meeting or group of
undergraduates, after being summoned
three times to dispense, may be shot
down as if they were armed rebels

Absurd Rules of the English Bar.

Since the world began was there
ever anything so absurd and indefensi-
bic as the rules of the English bar? A
barrister, however hungry, must not
take fee less than a guinea; he must
not advertise for work; he must not
treat with his clients without the inter-
vention of an attorney; he has no
legal claim for his fees. and he is not
liable for his negligence. Take again
the grotesque rules as to precedence.
There are, let it be supposed. upon a
particular circuit. two barristors. A
and B. A is prodigy of legal learn
ing, but no orator. b knows next to
no law, but talks like house on fire.
1t is thought desirable to secure both.
But the attorney forgets to look in the
Law List" and when the case comes
on the unfortunate client finds that, by
reason of the rule of precedence. the
speech falls to the silent man. while
the orator has to content himself with
examining few of the less important
witnesses. Can anything be more ut
terly foolish?-London Truth.

Kahn's Price for Making a Will.

Gen. Butler and Mr.. F. j. Dupignac
spent many hours recently in Mr.. Ash
bel Green's office in trying to get ex-
plantations from Mr.. Aaron Kahn as to
the promiscuous entries and eraSures
in his cash-book in the accounts against
Mrs. and Miss Hoyt. Mr.. Khan could
not furnish any information as to the
income he derived from his profession;
was uncertain as to what cases he had
tried and pleaded ignorance about the
fees he had received. One charge APP
peared in the book which almost decid-
ed Gen. Butler to close his office in
Boston and open one in New York. 1t
was a charge of 50. 600 for drawing up

general, "who never drew up a will be-
fore, had never been IN the surrogate's

to do with it." replied Mr.. Robert Sc
well. William Pitt supplied England
with some of the most glorious pages
OF her history when he was still in the
twenties."
