SCIENCE.
A N ew Match Machine

Two Troy men have invented a
machine which, it is claimed, will
practically revolutionize match max
ing. 1t has been operated to make
24,0O perfect matches in inmate,
and its capacity is expected to reach
i much higher number. The veneer
Of pine wool is fed upon small
platform and passes between rollers,
which partly cut it crosswise, the
width of match. From the rollers
the veneer passes over the abrupt
edge of a concave, where the splints
ire caught by rubber roller, separ-
ated by the action Of the roller and
rubbed along over the concave, so
that all the adhering fiber is removed.
Then the splints are carried by
! chain, from which they are forced
into a dipping web or strip of paper.
The web containing the splints is
then conveyed into trough, where.
in, by the action Of a revolving
Wheel, parafline is pat on the end of
each of the splints. When the paraf-
fine is dry, after passing through a
heated chamber, another wheel, re-
volving IN phosphorus com posit-
ion, applies the composition to the
ends of the splints, and the webs
pass to reels, where they remain un-
til dry.

Remedy for Oribbing Horses.

addicted to this vice are generally
thin in flesh: but this condition is
probably the result of the disorder

than TO the act of grasping and
pressing upon the manger or some
ether object with the teeth. A horse
in which this habit has long existed
can readily be recognized by the
worn and rounded appearance Of the
edges of his front teeth, also by the
enlarged appearances OF the muscles
which depress the jaw. The habit
can be prevented in several ways.
but is liable to return again when
the preventing conditions are re-
moved. BY taking away the manger
and feeding from the ground the an.

teeth upon, hence, as a rule, cannot

ENGAGEMENTS in England.

Courtships in England are shor.
and engagements are long. NJ
sooner is it understood that young
an and Il young woman are in love
than it it is given out they are en-
gagged. The American custom #
leaving young men and women flee
to associate together and to keep
company with each other for an in
definite length of time without de-
clariDg their intentions, is almost
unknown in any country OF Eai ope.
1t is not long after Il young nan BE-
gins to show the daughter attentions
before the father gives intimatIon
that he wishes to know what ii
means, and either the youth declares
his intentions, or is notified to "cut
sticks" Whatever the advantages
of the English view ofthis matter
may be, it has, at least, one most
obvious disadvantage, and that is il
lead, to engagements upon too short
an acquaintance, and it makes of the
engagement the counting time rath-
er than mere preparation for mar
riage. When once engaged, the
young people are tlrowR together
in tho freest fashion, and may be
left to themselves at all times and
in all places almost as Though they
were man and wife. In tire general
society af America marriage is
deemed the vitality important eyeit
in life, but in English society the en-
gagement is looked upon as the
most important, and really il "a sort
of first stage in ma.rimony, or the
personal uniting of the lives only
awaiting the legal ceremony.

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall. /.
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold, g..
And the heart of a jeweied chalice
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without, the blIeblrls whistled
High ap in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never n moment still,
Swapping ut shine and shadow
That danced ut the lattice sill.
His eyes were widc as bluebelIs,
His mouth like flower unblown;
Two little bare f,et, like funny white mice
Peeped out from his snowy gow.:
And we thought with n thrill of rapture.
That yet had n touch OF pain,
When June rolls around with the roses
Well measure the boy again.
Ali me! In a darkened cha mber,
With The sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter IA in
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dimpled
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together.
In the hush of a long repose.
UP from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon.
And the dear little hands like rose leaves,
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to catch the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
with ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below:
And out OF the darkened chamber
We went with caildless moan;
TO the height of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown.

A Singular Cat Story,

A queer cat story comes from
Preston, Conn. A farmer had been
troubled with raise for some time,
ind finally purchased cat that was
recommended as a good mouser.
The cat sustained its reputation,
and rats were soon unknown in the
house, and the farmer congratulated
himself greatly. His dreams of
freedom were dispelled one day,
however, by the cries of the servant
girl, who said that on going down
cellar where the cat was indulging
in its monday repast she saw Il large
rat eating at the same dish with the
cat, and solmnely averred that when
she went toward them the rat chased
her and made her rue up stairs.
The cat, she said. seemed to enjoy
his company, and appeared as if
charmed by the rat just as a snake
charms bird. The farmer would
not credit the story until he saw the
same thing day Or two afterward.
He allowed the strange friendship
to exist for several days, tile rat
coming regularly to partake Of
meals with the cat. Finally the
farmer decided to put an end to the
singular friendship. ana taking Il
gun went to the cellar. No sooner,
however, had lie fred at it and missed
it than the cat jumped upoa the rat
and killed itNow the farmer wants
to know why the cat did not kill the
