Crossing the Atlantic Ocean,

One hundred years ago u fathers
were content to hear from Europe once
in two or three months-that was better
than the six months of their fathers. 1t
took at least a month to cross the At
lantic. Tho early steamers reduced this
time to three weeks. This was considered
speed. The Great Western brought the
passage down to fourteen days, which
was a miracle. In 1850 the Britannia
reduced time to twelve days; then in
1870 the White Star line crossed in nine
days. 1t was but a nine days wonder.
The Alaska cut the record to seven days,
and then the Oregon to six days and a
half, and the Umbria is a quarter of a
day better yet. The ideal time seems to
be five days. Probably that will be about
the maximum and soon attained. Then

Vengeance Of the Cobra.

Andrew Fischer, an employee of the
Madras Railway company, was seated in
the veranda of his bungalow and OBJ
served two large cobras on the barren
plain Immediately in front of the house.
Aiming himself with a stout stick, he
proceeded to the spot and encountered
the snakes. He succeeded in killing one
of them, while the other, which had
been slightly wounded, managed to
escape. Mr.. Fischer hunted about for
the runaway, but could not find it. He
then returned to his bungalow and rested
for some time, as he was off duty. Later
in the day he prepared to go to his work,
and with that object got out his clothes
to dress. He sat on his coat, and was
about to put on his shirt when he felt
something bite him on the back. He
turned round, and to his horror found a
snake on the cot behind him, which he
is said to have recognized as the cobra he
had wounded that morning. He imme-
diately sought relief, and all kinds of
remedies were applied, but to no effect,
and he died in the evening. 1t is COM
monty believed among the Hindus that
no animal Is more revengeful than the
cobra, and that If an attempt is made to
kill it and it escapes it never gives itself
rest until it has wreaked its vengeance
uoon its assailant. -Homeward Mail.

HOW A LITHOGRAPH is MADE.

After the photographer has carefully
studied the original drawing before him
and laid out his plan he makes a careful
tracing of it on transparent gelatine, on
which he indicates every line or shade or
graduation, and this tracing is carefully
transferred to a previously prepared
and serves as "A "key'' to the entire
work and for all the color stones. The
work on stone is drawn with a greasy
black chemically prepared crayon, which,
by the way, has to be sharpened back
ward, or from the point up, as its very
brittle nature will not allow of its being
sharpened in the ordinary way. The
greasy crayon penetrates the stone, which
is then subjected to a solution of gum
arabic and nitric acid, after which it is
carefully washed Oft with water. The
black drawing, however, still shows, but
is now easily washed from the face Of
the stone with turpentine, leaving the
surface. to all appearances. as clean as
when the stone first came into the artists
hands. 1t is then dampened with water.
The printer passes his roller, charged
with cOler. over the surface. and this adj
heres only where the stone is dry, or, in
other words, where the grease of the
crayon is, and this color is transferred
from the stone to the paper. The same
process is employed for the application
of each successive color, portions of the
picture being drawn on several different
stones to obtain what may be called the
composite tints, while others are onlv
drawn on a single stone, when the color
in the picture is to be one of those direct
ly employed.-GMail and Express.

Slipper for the Children.

In one of the cantons of Switzerland
the public educational authorities cele-
brate the approach of the wet season by
providing each of their young scholars
with a pair of slippers, which the chill
dren bring with them in the morning
and wear indoors during the day, while
their damp boots are being dried at the
fire. Thus the chances of their catching
cold are reduced to a minimum, and the
result is, of course, greater comfort for
the youngsters, much relief from anxiety
on the part of their parents, and, it Ray
be assumed, a corresponding regu' rity
in school attendance. Some day poor
old England may see its way to taking a
hint from little Switzerland. London

Canned Fruits and Vegetables.

Many fruits and vegetables, being
Theoretically sealed while they are fresh
from the vines at the point of supply, are
fresher, more wholesome and palatable
than the so called fresh fruits and vegeta-

periods of time in city and village
markets. fact not generally understood
or appreciated. Our best packers now
insist that these articles shall be picked
in the morning while the dew is on them,
and brought to the factories in the highest
state of perfection, and it is safe to say
that In all well ordered factories cleaner
and more tidy methods are employed 1 IN
the systematic preparation of canned
goods than in the average home kitchen.

Features of American Handicraft.

Rapidly of execution, not fine
work. is the distinguishing feature
of all American handicraft. Ameri-
can carpenters and wood workers do
more good work in a given time than
any Of their brothers of other lands, but
it does not have the faultless neatness of
the product of Chinese and French
artisans. The Chinese, for instance,
make chairs, cabinets and even houses
without the use of a single nail, and
every piece of wood is fitted to its place
with hair line e~xactness. 1t Is not con-
sidered extraordinary in China to spend
three years in the construction of a
single hedstead@Chicago News.

A Berlin physician, DR.. Ernest

who was troubled by severe headaches.
The PHYSICIANS inquiries revealed the
fact that the patient had been given to
an immoderate use of snuff. The snuff
box was produced, and a microscopic in
vesttgation showed that 1t was swarming

The American Statistical association
publishes some interesting figures on the
amount Of water power employed in the
United States In 1880 there was q total
water power equal to 1,225,379 horse
power used for manufacturing purposes,
this being $50 per cent. Of the total
power thus employed In the states. The
annual value of the water power thus
utilized is set down at $24, 900, 900. The
New England states alone use 94.5 per
cent Of the whole water power Of the
country, and altogether the Atlantic
states use over three-fourths of the whole.

THE TRAIN DISPATCHER.

How few there are who, when riding
along in comfort and safety upon one of
our railroad lines, ever think of the
officer who is watching the progress of
their train, directing its movements from
station to station, and side-tracking the
numerous other trains upon the road in
order to present a clear track to the one
in which they are riding; and vet the
lives Of all the passengers are really in
trusted to his vigilance and care. A
moments neglect or thoughtlessness, a
moments doze in his chair, a single
glass of liquor to befuddle his brain, and
sudden death in it most hideous form
may be the lot of those whom it was his
duty to watch and protect. There seems
to be hardly any other position among
all the numerous avocations of a civilized
life calling for as great a degree of unre-
laxing w~atchfulness and involving so
fearful a responsibility.
Who is there who cannot safely allow
his thoughts to wander for a few minutes
during the day, and so obtain some little
relief from the pressure of business
cares? Hardly II except the train dis
patcher. For him there must be no re-
Taxation of the mind while he remains
on duty. Not a minute of day dreaming;
not an instant of forgetfulness. So con-
slant a strain, SO great responsibility
cannot fail to wear upon a mans life
and vigor and make him old before his
time.
When we consider the nature of his
duties, it must be a matter of surprise
that so few accidents occur which can
justly be charged upon the train dispatch

orders for the safety of the trains under
his direction, and scarcely once in a gen.

is implied by an occasional remembrance

What Dogs Cost Us,

There is In the United States a dog for
every three inhabitants. The cost of
keeping 90, 900, 900 dogs Is at least $780,
900, 900 per annum. The food given to
an average dog every year if fed to
chickens would yield a return of more
than $40. High toned dogs are very ex-
pensive, their food costing a good deal
