BeacOnsffeld and Primroscs.

A correspondent writes to London Notes and Queries: It is a popular idea that Lord Bsaconsfeld was devoted to the primrose. As a matter of fact, he cared no moro for primroses than for cowslip. Moreover, the only allusion to them in his books is to be found in "Lothair," where they are said to make capital salad. The quest tion then arises, how did the primroscs become associated with his named Ac- cording to Truth this is the origin of the primrose legend: "On the day of Lord Bcaconsfield's funeral the queen sent an immense wreath of primroses to be placed upon the coffin, and on card attached to the wreath of primroses her majesty had written, His favorite fower.' This inscription, of course, att tracted attcn ntion, and it was the begin ming of the primrose craze. But the fact was that the queen was not think ing about Lord Beaconsfeld when she wrote His favorite fower;' she had only the prince consort in her mind, as he was really very fond of primroses, and it was his predilection for them that her majesty was remembering"

COrraled bv Sharks.

A dinghy with grass from Dwarka foundered not very far from Bate, 8 port on the Dutch coast, while she was on her way to Karachi, when the crow, consisting of seven, took to the mast which had unshipped. At tho time she foundered the vessel was very close to the shore, and the crew were gradually working their way toward the beach, when one of their number was heard to shriek and immediately disappear. and the others, to their horror, realized that they were surrounded by sharks, with no means of os capiug, as the mast n ot only gave with their weight, but could not be kept steady on account of the rough state of tho sea. The men were in state of anxiety and fear, not know ing whose turn would come next. One by one the men suddenly disappeared, until only ono remained, and by this time tho storm having subsided, ho managed to balance himself steadily on tho mast, which drifted toward the beach on the following day. He was thus tossed about on the sea, expecting every moment to bo his last for two days and night. .--- Sind Qndia) Times.

To Harness Niagara's Flood.

A somewhat startling proposition in connection with the general subject ot the transmission of energy to a distance by electricity was advanced by that eminent engineer, the late Charles W. scimens of London, who, in 1877, ex- pressed his conviction that by this means the enormous energy of the fall ing water at Niagara might be trans- ferred to New York City, and there utilized for mechanical purposes. In 1879, Sir William Thompson, the elec- trician, publicly asserted his belief in the possibility, by means of an insulated copper wire, half an inch in diameter, of taking 2e, 900 horsepower from water-wheels driven by the falls, and of delivering 21,ooo horse power at a distance of 300 statute miles. He esti- mated that the cost of copper for the line would Do less than $15 per horse power of energy actually delivered at the re- mote station. A series of extensive and costly experiments of this character have been zealously prosecuted within the last few years by M. Marcel Doprez, a French electrical engineer, who was fortunate enough to obtain the financial assistance of the Rothschilds. The results attained havo been much criti- cised by the profession in other couu- tries, but it seems indisputable that on at least ono occasion more than thirty five horsepower was delivered at tho terminal of conductor seventy miles in length, sixty-two horse power having been applied to drive the generator, showing total loss of energy approxi- mating forty-three per cent, result which capnot be looked upon as un- satisfactory. --- [Scribner

sSome of cur scientists, who exanin, foods with the. microscope only, pro- nounce oleomargarine. under that test, q wholesome food. They do not stop to consider" says the Cultivator, 'that when made from clean beef or pork fat oleomargarine is rendered at tempera- turc not exc,cdins 120 degrees. This is practically a raw animal fat, and how few stomachs thers are which can di. gest raw suet or pork fat. When we eat tallow and lard ia tn, ordinary di- etary they arc cooked, but oleomarga rine is not cooked" J. K. Brown, Dairy Commissioner of New York, makes the following statement in this connection: 'We havo made expcrl. m 'nts ia tho department of the New York State dairy commission in which VIC show that oleomargarine will not dissolve and liquefy in any human stomach in its usual and ordinary tenn pcrature. It is indigestible and no ar t;cle that is indigestible is wholesome. No microscopist can, with microscope or with the naked eye, discover indi gcstibility. The manufacturers of oleo. margarine have never attempted to an swcr the above argument against theil bogus compound"

PaIates of Rubber.

"Here IS something which might iu- terest you," said the physician, handing the reporter red flap of soft rubber spatulated at one end iko beavers tail and bearing small rivets at the other.
 "What's that9'
 ''That's an artificial soft palate. You know some people are so unfortunate as to be born with a cleft in the roof of tho mouth, which interferes sadly with their speech. All sounds which depend upon the breath being excluded from tho nose, like n and 'm,' they are un- able to pronounce. These sounds arc called nasal, because they go through the nose. Look in the glass with your mouth wide open and you will see lit t.e tongue dangling away back at the roof of tho mouth. This is the uvula, which is absent in the case of those who have cleft palates. It helps in swallowing as well as in speech. Now, this artificial uvula is not the natural shape, as you see, but is thinned out and spread out like fan at one end. That is so that it may rest against the muscle which would atural- ly move the palate. Tho other end of the piece is riveted to plate which is kept ir the roof of the mouth, either by suction or by springs.
 "A queer thing about these cases of cleft palatcs is that the perception of the proper sounds of letters dies out as the man grows older. A child in whose mouth an artificial palate is at- | tached soon learns to talk as naturally as people whose palates are formal. But those who have passed middle life be- fore they have one put in have, it is said, to learn language like French, where the great prevalence of nasal sounds compels thcm to notice their i'm portancc. Only in that way do they learn to speak English properly."- [Chicago Mail.

Turkish Invitations.

The Oriental imagery, so plentiful in all the written communications of the eastern peoples, has been carried by tho Turks to the points where it's literary paroxysms become very absurd. Ono Effendi, or dignitary, writing to an- other, speaks of himself as ''thy ser vant," "thy miserable valet" "thy slave," and SO on, while all his rcfer- ences to tho persons addressed are to 'thy highncss," 'thy gracious lord- ship" "thy most exalted personality" and the like. The Turk, in addressing his equals or superiors, never uses the plain words "you' or "me." Instead of q saw you the other day at tho mosque" he says, 'I observed at the mosque the dust of your excellency's feet" There is a Turkish proverb which declares the word "me'' to be al- ways and everywhere hateful.
 Here are two genuine Turkish invi. tations to festivals:
 "Noble and venerated friend: Tonight when the silver barque of the moon, now fourteen days old, floats out upon the sky's azure expanse, bcstowing upon all the world romance and ten- ;; dcrness, we shall be assem bled at tho village of Rumili Hissar, in the place called Hozreti Mollah, spot full of delights; and all the night even to the rising of the sun, we shall taste the pleasures of the feast. We shall not admit delay so great as the thickness of hair. May the feetness of sails and the strength of rowers bring thee, thou sourco of joy, to all. thy friends"
 'Most gracious master and most ven- erated lord: This evening, if it please Allah, when the great king of the army of stars, the sun of all tho worlds, shall, setting forth toward the realm of the shadows, thrust his foot into the stirrup of velocity, thou art besought to illumi- nate us with the bright rays of thy couutenance, which, indeed, rivals the suns. Thy arrival, like that of the zephyr of the spria g-time, will, for us, dissipato the sombre night of solitude and isolation"
 And this ponderous composition is only an invitation to ''come and dine at six!'--- Youths Companion.

Hope.

HOpe. Sweet mocking maid, she wakes and smile When winds are hushed and skies serener The air grows soft beneath her tread, And where her radiant looks are shed
 The leaves are greener. We see a tangle of bright hair, A round white arm extended; We catch the fragrance, faintly sweet, Of breezy robes about her feet,
 With roses blended. Where'er her vagrant fancy leads We follow gladly after; We seem to clasp her wayward charms; She melts from our embracing arms
 With airy laughter. She weaves rainbow in the air, And while we gaze, delighted, She tears the fabric into shreds And scatters far the floating threads,
 No more united. She turns away her yelled face, 70 In sudden mood capricious; But while we mourn the dismal shroud, Breaks forth, like sunlight from O cloud,
 Her smile delicious. She plays thousand teasing tricks; Full fain we are to flout her; Yet, spite of all, our hearts confess Life had not half its loveliness
 Were we without her.
 -[Harper's Young People.
