POPULAR SCIENCE.

An egg Of the extinct great aux was
recently sold in London for $11OO. It's
said to have been bought for on Amerl'

The Swedish American societies OF
Chicago are endeavoring to collect suffl-
cicnt funds for the erection in Lincoln
Park of monument to the famous
naturalist, Linneus.
The substance of what is comprised in
and meant by hygiene, may be expressed
in the words, clean earth, clean food,
clean water, and clean air-it answers
the requirements of every human being.
Certain data lead to the inference that
we do not yet possess more than one
tenth of those existing, so that even the
present rapid rate of discovery will not
complete our collection of insects in less
than 1000 years. Before the end of that
period many species of to day will have
become extinct.
Those who are in the habit of indulging
in raw onions, says q medical man, may
be cousoled for the social disadvantages
which ensue by the fact that onions are
about the best nervine known. No medI.
cine is really so efficacious in cases OF
nervous prostration, and they tone up

A correspondent of a Southern news.
paper points out the fact that the nickel
five cent piece may lie used as unit OF
measure in calculating by the metric sys-
tenn. 1t is exactly two centimeters in
diameter and weighs five grammes. Five
of the coins placed edge against edge
give the exact length of decimeter.
Ringing the bells of locomotives by
steam is now effected by an ingenious
apparatus, consisting of small steam
cylinder placed at one side of the bell
frame and resting on the boiler; the
connecting rod, which connects the pis-
ton to three-inch crank on the bell, Is
so constructed that it will vary its
length according to the swing of the
bell. thus removing any liability OF
knocking the cylinder out by the piston
coming in contact with it.
Some one says that remarkable imi-
tation of black walnut may be manu-
factured from poor pine, the quality and
appearance of the article being such as
to defy detection, except upon very close
examination. To accomplish this, one
part of walnut peel extract is mixed
with six parts of water, and with this
solution the wood is coated. When the
material is half dry, solution of BIZ
chromate Of potash, with water, is
rubbed on it, and the made walnut is
ready for use.
Mr.. William Webster, F. c. s., has
patented a process of purifying sewage
by means of the eectrical current. The
pollution of rivers by the sewage of
large cities is constant source of dan
yer to health; and $4,000, 900 is to be
spent in attempting, by the employment
of chemicals, to purify the London
sewage. Mr.. Webster's plan consists IN
sending a current of electricity from
metallic electrodes through the sewage.
The result, in experiments made on a
very small scale, is to set the solid parti-
cles held in suspension in motion, "a
kind of procession taking place from the
top downward, and from the bottom up

The Newest STYLES of Fans.

There are an unusual number of novel
ties in fans; some are of clear grenadine,
striped with net or with silk, others have
rows of narrow satin ribbon carried across
in such way that when closed border
ing each rib there are, lines of close set
ribbon bows. Around shaped fan called
the Lady Teazle is made Of softest mara
bout with q picture in the centre painted
with Watteau groups or something
equally delicate. A feather fan to be ef-
fective must be good. One of the most
beautiful is the Prince of Wales, com.
posed of three long ostrich plumcs and a
soft curled bunch of tips mounted in an
ivory or mother-of-pearl handle. The
white ones are especially lovely.-MaiI

A Significant Comparison.

Physical deterioration under the influence
of alcoholic poisoning is attested in many
ways DIR. Alfred J. H. Crespi, late editor
of the Sanitary Review, says: II do not
think that any one, competent to judge, could
avoid expressing surprise were he to compare
the appearance Of severe wounds among the
temperate and among the incorporate This
striking difference, which commences to be
well marked few hours after the injury,
continues to increase, so that at the end of a
few weeks, while the abstemious is generally
we'll, the drunkard, if he has not succumbed,
is usually far from convalescent. and may
be suffering severely" In times of epidemic,
as in cholera seasons, the alcoholic patients
suffer by far the largest mortality.

RELIGIOUS READING.
Keep Your Faces to tho Light.

Keep Your Faces to the Light.
There's ringing glorious measure
In the march of life, my brothers;
II we listen we may here it all day long,
With an undertone Of triumph
No dscordance wholly smoothers,
And this is the cheerful burden OF the
song:
Forward! Keep the column moving!
Perfect rest shall be our guerdon
When our missions are fulflled-our labors
done;
Duty's path lies plain before us,
Whatso'er our task and burden,
If we bravely set our faces to the sun.
"Disappointments may o'ertake us,
Losses, griefs and grim surprises
May assault us in the weary way we 60;
Look not backward, but onward ever,
Lol the goal before us rises.
And the valley OF the shadow lies below
With hand to help the fallen,
Where the rugged sleeps delay us, :.
Though the reddening SUBMITS warn us or
the night
We shall conquer all the evils
That assail us and betray us,
While we keep our faces bravely to the
light!
"Steady Keep the rapks in motion!
Tho we only be retrieving
The disasters and m stakes or yesterQays
There Is shame in dull inaction,
There Is glory in achieving,
II we take one step on the upward wayl
Day by day the distance dwindles,
Foot by foot the steps surrender.
And we dread no more the barriers over
past;
While we breathe the airs serener,
And our eyes behold the splendor
OF the gates where we shall enter in at
last;
Wayside thorns may rend and goad us,
Driving mist and cloud may blind us,
As we struggle up the last stupendous
height;
But remember, and take courage,
All life's shadows lie behind us
While we keep our faces bravely to the
lightv'

Diamonds and Their Wearers.

One of the sights of a fashionable
gathering in New York is the splendid
show of diamonds that the most notable
social leaders make. The late Mrs. j.
J. Astor sometimes appeared wearing
800, 900 worth of gems. Mrs. Marshall
o. Roberts has jeweled corsage orna-
ment so magnificent that it looks like a
breastplate of diamonds. Mrs. Hicks
Lords jewels are said to be worth quite
100000. For particularly swell
gatherings some of the most fashionable
women seem literally to empty their
jewel cases upon their persons. At a
great dinner of 100 covers, given in two
rooms, fifty covers in each, some of the
matrons present wore. it is said, as many
as seven necklaces of gems all at once

A Perfect Kingdom

A Perfect Kingdom
A man can build q uanSion
And furnish it throughout,
A man can build palace
With lofty walls and stout;
A man can build temple
With high and spacious dome,
But no man in the world can build
That precious thing called-Home.
No, 'tis our happy faculty,
D women, far and wide
To turn cot or palace
Into something else beside;
Where brothers, sons and husbands tired,
With willing footsteps come;
A place of rest, where love abounds-
A perfect kingdom-Home.

A Valuable Confederate Cent.

Hon. George II. Wright, of Chuluota,
Fla, has in his possession copper cent
which is worth several times its weight
in gold. 1t was coined by the Confederate
States of America and is modelled very
much after the cent of the United States.
1t is claimed that but forty-two of the
pieces were coined before the die was
CAPTURED and the manufacture of the coin
stopped. Of these it is believed that not
more than twenty are now in existence.
AS a curiosity it would probably bring

TEMPERANCE.
The Templar Boys.


We belong to the Templar band.
And sy its pledge we mean to stand
Well work for it with heart and hand
As long as we are able
When we are men we'll not be dumb,
Or hang our heads and act like some,
But squarely vote to Danish rum
From every home and table.
The triple pledge we mean to keep;
As now we sow we soon shall reap.
From out the land we mean to sweep
The cause Of so much ruin.
From street and alley, square and lane,
We call for help in this campaign:
Oh! may our call be not in vain.
Help us to stop the brewingl

Still Wearing Dead Birds.

Birds are still worn as dress trimmings,
and philantbropic persons of sanguine
disposition have not quite abandoned
the hope that some day Englishwomen
will be sufficiently tender hearted to alb
stain from wearing ornaments that cause
such sufferings to the poor birds. We
read of them, continues the writer, be-
ing killed by hundreds in the breeding
season when their plumage is brightest,
and their nestfulls of young ones left to
starve and die the most merciless and
lingering of deaths. And yet women
wear the little victims and will continue
10 wear them Notwithstanding all that
may be said or written on the subject.
We no longer hear of dresses ga.nished
with robins or canaries, but bonnets and
hats are still decked, or rather, to some
tnstes dis6gured by the plumage of birds.
Some of the artificial flowers used for
ball-dress trimmings are marvelously ac-
curate copies of nature in form and color.
The texture, of course, is inimitable,
though velvet, in its finer apd most
silky sorts, looks not unlike the satin
soft petals of the lily, the wallfower, the
convolvulus and the petunia. The favorite
tints for evening dress are the becoming
heliotropc, silver gray, bright yellow,
and rich orange in the tint now known
as "sunset," all shades of brown, from
dark to light, an equal variety in green,
and the lovely eau-de-Nil color, which is
so bright and responsive to the light

Ladies' Sledge Races on the Neva.


A novelty in the way of news, says the
London Standard, comes from St. Peters
burg in the shape of an announcement
that sledgc races had been organized in
the Russian capital, in which ladies of
the aristocracy are to be the drivers.
Each fair Amazon will have her own
colors, which will distinguish, not only
her own costume, but her sleigh and the
harness of her horse. The competitors
must be not less than twenty years Of
age and not over forty. The prizes are
to he diamonds, which have been offered
by the Empress, the jockey club and
other fashionable bodies in St. Peters
burg. There is nothing surprising in
this novel idea being developed on the
iNcya, for Russian ladies continually
startle, if they delight, the cities Of the
west and south OF Europe by the in
dependence, the originality and the
fascination of their social conduct.
The races will be a lovely sight.
Ehe dazzling snow. the shining stceds,
the polished and glittcring harness, the
beautiful drivers, the sweet" costumes
Imagine the start. the progress, the rat
Ting pace, nearing the goal, The intense
rivalry, the joys and pangs of energetic
anxiety, the moment of victory, the
triumph of the fair victor, and finally
the diamonds. They are welcome to
woman from it matters not whom. But
imagine the Joy of winning tiara, or
n necklace, or stomacher of diamonds
in sledqe race-winning them from
eyery other woman between twenty and
forty, and the diamonds the gift of the
Czarina herself. But to the excitement
of driving and competing is to be added
the still greater excitement Of dress, and
no one would dream of asking women,

listened to them celebrating in solemn
