Better to Wear Ont than Rust.

The late Prof. Samuel ID. Gross, at
q dinner given to him in Philadelphia
on April 10, 1879, said: "After fifty
years of earnest work I find myself
still in the harness; but although 1
have reached that age when most men,
tired of the cares of life, seek repose in
retirement and abandon themselves to
the study of religion, the claims of
friendship, or the contemplation of
philosophy, my conviction has always
been that it is far better for man to
wear out than to rust out. Brain
work, study, and persistent application
have been O great comfort to me, as
well as great help. they have en-
HANGED the enjoyment of daily life, and
added largely to the pleasures of the
lecture-room and authorship; indeed,
they will always, am sure, if wisely
regulated, be conducive both to health
and longevity. A man who abandons
himself to a life of inactivity, after
having always been accustomed to
work, is practically dead"

Formal Calls.

Formal calls are one of the penances

calls. Her aunts caution her not to
stay more than quarter of an hour at

know when it is a quarter of an hour
if she is interested in the conversation ?
They tell her that she must keep her
mind on the time. and not allow her.
self to get much interested in the con-
versation and show her ignorance of
polite manners by overstaying the con-
ventional limits of call. Some such
idea as this still seems to prevail. L.

The scarcity OF whalebone. it's high
price, aud demand for an article In
its stead. led Mr.. Il. X. Warren TO in
vent @Featherbone," substitute pre-
pared from the quilts Of geese and
turkeys. The factory Is located at
Three Oaks, Mich, and, In the short
space Of two years, the enterprise has
grown to large industry. As the dis
covery brought to existence new sub
stance, 1t became necessary to invent
machinery required in its manufacture.
These operations have passed the stage
OF experimental existence, and Feather
bone" is now an article of commercial
value. The quilts of turkeys and geese
only are used. The first process strips
the plumage from the quilts. A set of
revolving knives then divides the quilts
In halves. Rapidly revolving sand-pa-
per rollers then remove the pith. The
quilts are then passed to an ingeniously
constructed system OF interlocking
knives, which reduces them to fiber.
These fibers arc then fed to O machine
which twists them into q fine cord
wrapped with thread. Another ma
chine wraps four OF these cords with
tuTetQ anu lOfLub JneIu luJO hui tdpo.
Asewing machine places row OF stitch
es between each cord, which gives the
tape increased strength and adds to its
elasticity, and the whole is then passed
between two large rollers, which gives
it q uniform thickness, and makes IL
ready for market. The article is said
to be unbreakable, and, if bent double,
will retain its strength and elasticity.
In dress-making it possesses the adj
vantage over whalebone of being light
er, cheaper, more durable. and needs no
castings, as it is sewed tc the goods. It
is superseding whalebone in the manu-
featuring of whips, and large whip
factory is the outgrowth of Mr.. War
ren's discovery. The plumage of the
feathers is used for making a very good
quality of mattresses, and the pith, be-
ing shown by analysis to be rich in nj
trogen, is used as fertilizer. About
300 jobbing houses handle their goods,
and the factory gives employment to
$50 persons, and consumes 10000
quilts and 125 miles of thread daily
