THE TEACHING OF DEATH.

Few poems possess rarer beauty and
deeper tenderness than flow from the fol-
lowing verses. No bereaTed parent can
read them and not feel softening Of the
heavy load Of grief because Of the absence
Of ''The Little Boy that Died, who was
the light and JOY Of a happy home. Chill

Pittsburg Dispatch.
"You hear a great deal of talk about
being too talkative," said Pittsburg
barber, "but let me tell you that the
barber who doesn't talk isn't any good.
He isn't popular with the trade and he
doesn't make good workman. You
see, a man comes in ana get into the
chair, and the BARRIERS commences shay
ing him without saying word. The
man who is being shaved has nothing to
think about except himself, and he I'M
mediately begins TO kick about the
razor. 1t pulls and hurts his face, and
nothing suits him, and he goes away
dissatisfied with the shop and the bar
Der. Now, one of those good-natured,
laxative BARRIERS would take that same
man and commence talking politics and
the weather, the police and the skating
rink to him, and there would never be
the slightest kick"

may be stated that while this practice is
not perfect preventative of rot and
mildew on the punches, another year
experience has demonstrated that If
applied early enough in the season these
pests OF the vineyard can largely be held
IN check The application has some
times been made before the flowers omen

are just forming. Delay is dangerous
because the germs Of destruction NAV

Before applying, cut the four corners
OF the bag, the upper corners to allow Of

paper bags already made cannot be
obtained, simply paste paper together
at the side, leaving the bottom open. as
practice has proven the use of bag open
at the bottom to be as effective as close

A New Use for Asbestos.

Scientific American.
In the processes connected with dye
ing and printing of cotton cloth it is
frequently necessary to hang the fabric
in loops from parallel rods for the pnr-
poses of exposure to sGeam, air, or am
monia- In order that the cloth should
hold upon the rods without slipping or
being strained, it i necessary to wind
ropes or strips of cloth around the rods,
but this only mitigates the difficulty
without accomplishing its removal, for
the heat and corrosive action of the
vapors rot any covering in q few weeks,
and the first notice of any deterioration
is generally the appearance of small
pieces of roll covering among the cloth
in process of finishing Recently ashes
tos rope and asbestos cloth has been
used for this purpose, and proves to be
very durable. Larger ropes Of this re-
fractory material have been used for
the transmission of power over places
exposed to heat.

TO YOUNG MECHANICS. :
The University Class in Archi-
tectural and Mechanical
Drawing.

Comparing this Territory as it is at
present with what it was ten or twenty
years ago, one readily notices the great
increase in the number of our manu-
featuring and mechanical industries
now, and there can be no doubt but the
future will witness still more rapid in
crease than in the past. The opportu-
mites of learning trades are now far
better and more numerous than they
were some years ago, and we are pleased
to note that our young men e,ce avail
ing themselves of these advantages.
and are thus making of themselves
good and useful citizens. But however
insignificant the occupation may APP
pear. there is always room for improve
ment by the Intelligent and progressive
mechanic; yet great many young men
learn only so much of a trade as they
are obliged to, in order to get any work
at all, and there they stop for the rest
of their lives.
A great many of the mechanics of
this city, both old and young, are I'M
able to understand drawing OF any
ordinary structure placed in their
hands, and thus. however well drawn
up the plans may be, the piece of work
is likely to be a failure, unless very
closely watched by some one who does
understand, or If it Is made a
success, much time and material
are wasted in experimenting, and also
in fitting the parts together, all of which
with a little instruction of few hours
each week for three or four months
might be easily avoided. The truth of
this local assertion needs no better illus
tration than the frequent blunders that
are made in ordinary stair building.
Again, in many buildings here, classical
being ignorant of the true proportions
requisite in such constructions, only
makes his work offensive in appearance
to the cultivated eye, or simply ridicu-
lous.
But the question arises. how may all
this be avoided, as we have no school
for the higher education of mechanics,
no institutions of technology? In an
swer to this demand the Board of Re-
gents of the University have secured
the services of a competent teacher of
agricultural and mechanical drafting, a
graduate of the best polytechnic institu-
ton in this country, and a man of some
years experience in his business, to in
struct class in this very important
branch of useful education. The read
ing of drawing, stair building, the
classical proportions, in architecture.
the proper representation of material on
paper, and, in short, everything is IN
Guided that is of immediate and practi-
cal application in every mechanic S
daily work, and nothing else is included.
This class instruction occupies two
hours per week. but the actual work
must be done at home.

american History is Rev. DR.. Yermilye's
sketch of the Early New York Post
Office" accompanied with several adj
mirasle illustrations. The portrait of
Ebenezer Hazard, Postmaster, and
Postmaster-G General, never before pub

collectors. Alfred Frederick's sketch
of the primitive Lock Box" and LET
ter Carrier OF the Olden Time" is his
best. The second illustrated article,
by the eminent scholar, Horatio Hale,
describes the great Mohawk Chief Geo.
II. H. Johnson, with a graphic and fas-
cinating account of his life, and work
among the Six Nations. His portrait
in picturesque Indian costume, the
frontispsece to the number, is striking,
and the engraving of his charming
home in no sense suggests the wigwam.
He married Miss Howells, first cousin Of
