Running the sewing nrachine.

A complication of pipes and brackets
on one side of the room attracted my at
tention. In answer to my inquiries, Ada
told me that she had run the sewing ma
chine by water power for all the sewing
she had to do in her fitting up. This was
an unspealable relief to me, as | feared
that she had overtaxed herself at the ma
chine. She protested that she had not
and in proof of the statement she turned
crank, adjusted belt, and showed me
that the needle of the machine would
pass with the greatest ease through the
thichest cloth and would sew about three
times faster than one could do by foot
power.
'But what and where is the motive
power?' asked.
"a tiny wheel under the kitchen sink" :"
she replied; and so it was-a small motor
that one could almost put in dish panl
A stream scarcely larger than large
knitting needle furnished the power, and
leather belt was carried to the upper
room through casing. This belt was
either attached to the large driving
wheel or ran in a groove in the wheel
shaft, according as more or less speed was
required. A lever, moved either by the
foot or hand, started or stopped the
wheel. This was one of the most sensible
of the many improvements; for Ada
would sew, and with this arrangement
she would be able to do so without overtax-
ing her strength. .-Demorest' Monthly.

studying THOR own City.

The time has gone by when Partisan
was ashamed TO carry ''Baedekern under
his arm, and to explore tho wonders of
tho Louvre, the Luxembourg, the Gobelins
or the Musee- -Carnavalet M. Charles
GARNER and the society of Amis des Monu-
ments PariSiens, which he founded about
two years age, have changed all that.
Before M. GARNER and the ladies and
gentlemen with him took to periodical
wandering all over medieval and artistic
parts of Paris there were thousands of
old inhabitants who had never seen the in
side of many Of the metropolitan monu-
ments and places of historic interest in
their lives. They have visited the En-
gardine or the Tyrol for scenery, cursorily
inspected the frescoes and paintings of
the Pitt or the Vatican to improve their
taste, but they would not be seen for
worlds lounging about the corridors of the
Louvre or penetrating the artistic or ar
cadian recesses of Versailles.
At the present time, owing to the
fashion that has been set by the "Amis
des Monuments" it is no uncommon
thing TO see genuine Partisan wrapped
in contemplation of La Belle Jardiniere"
at the Louvre, or wandering enthusias-
tically, like foreign diettante, through
the hall of mirrors at Versailles. AS to
the environs of Paris, such as Marty,
Montmorency or st. Germain, they arc
rendered more fashionable than ever by
the patronage of the opulent people who
drive thitherward in mail coaches every
afternoon for dinner.--Paris Cor. London

The Inllan.s BANK Canoe.

The bark canoe is the Indians chef
d'muvre. 1t seems to me not only beau
tiful object, but n suggestive emblem of
his life 1t is the most natural boat in
the world; to make it no peels the bark
from birch. splits cedar for timbers
and planks. binds it together with roots,
and closes the seams with pitch from the
pine. His tools are an AK, a crooked
knife, and an awl made of deers bone.
No compass and square cover his weak
ness, for every piece tells the exact truth
of his hand and eye; not even bench
removes him from the earth, nor a roof
covers him from the sky; he kneels at his
work. And the women embody their at
tachment in the pitch they press into the
cracks. 1t is natures model, made by the
wild man in the woods. The life of the
bark canoe is equally poetic; it floats
through mountain lakes with the beaver,
and runs rapids with the otter; indeed,
all its companions arc creatures of the
forest; it is faithful to nature to the very
last, when it retires to the shore of some
lonely pond to mold under its mound of
feathery moss.--C. II. Farnham in Har-
pers Magazine.

The Indians Ethical Qualities.

The only results of Indian education /
have actually witnessed are those which
have seen at Hampton, Va, and Carlisle,
Pa. The Indian mind appears to be
slow moving mind The Indian is less
quick to initiate than the negro, but his
ethical qualities appear to me to be higher
than these of the negro. He has less
Imagination but q keener sense of honor
and integrity. He is more honest, more
truthful, moro faithful, if he is fairly
treated. There is some truth in the
charges made against him of lying and
stealing; but these vices are chiefly due
to his ready adoption of the motto that
''all is fair in war;" and his relations
with the white races have been for years
those of almost constant warfare. Lyman

When it comes TO the apparel question,
vo find problem difficult of solution.
What to wear for the greatest comfort?
| hear my fat and hasty friend say,
"Why, the thinnest white cotton garment
you can possibly buy"
mot quite, old fellow. If you do that
you may find it snare, and one of these
days, with their sudden changes, will
bring you a summer pneumonia. Cotton
is not an absorbent, and is no more fit to
be worn next the skin than o coat Of mail
would be. It holds the perspiration and
excretions of the body-of these millions
of little sewers-in its meshes, in suspen-
sion as it were, and when you stand in
breezy place you feel this foreign presence
by the cold, clammy sensation which
brings out the expression that "some one
is walking over your grave"
Underwear should always be constructed
of woolen material, which may be made
as light and flmy as desired. 1t is cooler
than cotton, and far more cleanly.-

Mormon Thrift and Economy.

The city of Salt Lake is practically
without debt. Its bonds, TO the amount
of S250,000, to aid in the construction Of
a canal, over twenty miles long, to bring
an adequate supply Of fresh water from
Utah lake, have already been largely re-
deemed. though the term Of the loan has
but half expired.
A people who have by patient endeavor
and community converted a sterile region
into a garden spot. by irrigation, natur
ally become iulbuej with notions of thrift,
and economy public as well as privats.
This natural tendency is encouraged by
an eminently practical religion. The
emblem adopted By the founders f Utah
is the beehive. The Church Of Jesu.

Fecundity of TiShes.

Fishes produce so many eggs that il
vast numbers of the latter and of the
fishes themselves were not continually
DESTROYED, these animals would finally
fill up all the waters. For example, man
annually takes 60, 900, 900 or TO- 900, 900
Goldfish from the sea around the shores Of
Newfoundland. But even that quantity
seems small when we consider that each
cod yields about 5 1000, 900 eggs each
season, and that even 5000. 900 have
been found in the roe of a single cod.
Were the 60, 200, 900 cod taken on the
coast of Newfoundland left to breed, the
10000, 600 females producing 5000, 900
eggs every year, it would give a yearly
addition of $50, 200, O0O, 600, 900 young
Goldfish.
Other fish, though not equnling the
cod, are wonderfully productive. A
herring weighing six Or seven ounces is
provided with about 30, 900 eggs. After
making all reasonable allowances for the
destruction of eggs and the young, it has
been calculated that in three years a
single pair of behring's would produce
154, 900, 900. Button calculated that if a
pair of herrings could be left TO breed
and multiply u~ndisturbed, for a period
Of twenty years, they would yield an
amount Of fish equal in bulk to the globe
on which we v~e.-SCientific American.
