Some striking Contrasts.

An English lady living temporarily in the
United States notices that the house serv-
ants do deal more work here than in the old
country; yet that our servants are relieved
OF some work that is necessary there-the
taking of hot and cold water to sleeping
rooms in some houses, and the care of u fire
in every room by reason of no furnace in
the cellar. She insists upon the superiority
Of stoves here over fire-paces in England
In cold weather, and says that the kitchen
stove here burns much less coal than it
does there. The use of bitumInous coal in
England is one cause of some of these
troubles. The independence of the domestic
servants in America is another noticeable
fact. as might be expected in a democratic
country. As sample of the greater con-
veuiences here, the carpet sweeper is men,
toned, with its dustless work, in place of
broom, which is solely used in England

You can imagine my surprise that this

court as personal favor to discharge me-
This request was granted. My new friend
called me to one side after the trial. heard
my story and seemed TO have faith in my
promises. He even took me into his store
and advanced me from one position to an
other as the years rolled on, and finally

wnen ice zoos not melt ana IN summer
when IL does not freeze.
Another has affirmed that ice, though
brittle and seemingly unyielding, IS plastic
and gelatinous, and moves under pressure
like asphaltum.
Tyndall and Huxley rest later theory
upon an extended series Of experiments and
observations. Ice crushed into a granu-
lated state il submitted 10 great pressure
will readily take any desired form and re-
turn 10 a solid and transparent condition.

liable weight against an unyielding surface,

ure Of its channel, and TO move forward

which grinds IL mp restores 1t again 70 its

gradually took on q granulsted form, which

vexity being up the stream. During the heat
OF the summer II is common thing 10 see
one or more brooks coursing along the sur
face OF the glacier and dropping intOf assures,
which they melt INTO the form Of deep wells.
This water passes down 20 the bottom Of the
glacier, and, mingling with the rock which
has been ground up by The friction between
the ice and ia bed, issues 10 Che lower end

The Origin of t,oodle.

1t is probably derived from the old English
word bottel, bunch or bundle, as bottel
OF straw. 1.-THE whole kit and Doodle of
them" is New England expression in COM
mon use, and the word IN this sense means
the whole lot. Latterly Doodle has come to
be somewhat synonymous with the word
pile, a term in use at the gaming table, and
signifying a quantity of money. In ths
gaming sense, when q man has ''lost his
Doodle" he has lost his pile or whole lot of
money, whatever amount he happened to
have with him. The word may be an
Anglicized form of the German word beuteI
a purse, and in figufative sense money.

Il is an English lady of high position who
tells the story. Dining out the other night
she saw in the hall as she went in a servant
who for long time in earlier days had been
butler to the late Lady Waldegrave, whom
she had often visited She spoke to him,
an act In TO way remarkable among peo-
pie between whom and their servants there
is margin enough At dinner there were
ortolans and this lady's neighbor asked
whether she cared for them. "Oh, yes,n
answered she; ~ am fond of all delicacies.
l would dine, if-I could, like Nero on night
ingale tongues As she finished the or
tolan and the sentence she became aware
that Lady Waldegrave's butler was leaning
over in that respectful attitude proper to
the British servant handing dish, and he
murmured al beg your pardon, my lady,
but Cicero says it was Vitellius."

Removal OF sections Of bone IN surgical
operations has heretofore been long, tedi-
Gus process, effected with a nallet, chisel,
gougcs, etc. II il, perhaps, the most brutal
and unscientifc method which could be
adopted, and sounds like the operative
butchery which existed I'm the last century.
This has all been reformed by an invention
called the electric osteotome, says the Lon
don Electrical Engineer, which is an instru-
mcut holding a circular saw at its extrem-
ity, rcvolvcd with lightning speed by an
electris motor. This, when held against
a bone, makes clean cut through II in a
few seconds; In fact, its action is instantane-
Gus. BY holding tho osteotome in a slant
ing position, wedge-shaped pieces can be
cut out with equal promptitude. There Is
no danger of the saw cutting the soft parts,
as they are protected by retractor, an in-
strument which Is passed down and under
