Thousands of Years Saved.

One may get some idea of what rail-
ways mean in the saving of time and
money to passengers. by taking the
case OF London. 1t is estimated that
about 500.0 persons, or about one
tenth of the population of the entire
area Of the metropolis, require to travel
to and from their business every day
all the year round. If we remember
the distances, it is not too much to
assume that the railway will economic
for each at least two hours in the week,
or, say five days per annum each. This
over SOC, 600 of people means $500, 900
days, or an economy of $500 years OF
800 working days each. Suppose the
average earnings Of these SOC. 900 peo-
pie to be fl00 per annum each. not too
high an average when we remember
the number of millionaires included in
the total, we shall see total money
saving. in the sense of time being
money. of equal to ESQ, 900 per annum.

"Some people with apparently small

He took in the situation at once. With
all speed possible he unwound the
rope from the windlass, and after tell
ing Mrs. Spratt and Ben to stand
ready to hoist, went down in the well,
hand over hand, on the rope.
The earth was still falling, striking
the bottom with hollow sound. when
Zip with a lusty shout told them to
hoist away.
Melinda was landed above ground at
last, bleeding, bruised and unconscious.
The rope was lowered again, and just
as lips head was above ground, the
large rock in the side of the well and
masses of earth from all around
crumbled in. and fell with sound as
of thunder to the bottom of the we'll.
1t was a narrow escape.
Melinda was carried to the house,
and doctor was sent for. Before he
arrived, however, she regained con-
seriousness, and seeing Zip bending
over her, a glad smile lighted up her
fair young face, while she murmured:
Don't 80 away, Zip. Don't go
away"
Just then Mrs. Spratt, accompanied
by the doctor, entered the room and
approached the bed. When the good
mother saw the smile on her daughter s
face, and Zip bending low above the
pillow, glad tears came to her eyes,
and her voice was low and tender.
"You can kiss her, Zip, if you want
to-" she said.
Zip did ''want to-" and kissed Me-
linda on her smiling lips.
Then Mrs. Spratt put her arms
around lips neck and kissed him, too.
and told him that he must leave the
room while the doctor attended to Me-
inda's hurts, which, upon examination,
proved to be mere bruises after all.
Ben hung around the house for
awhile, but when he saw that he was
left out in the cold by everybody, even
by Mrs. Spratt, he thought it best to
go.-,John p Sjolander, in ~ O. Times

COOKING CLOCK.
The Yankee Multum In Parvo Invented
by = New Bedford Man.

The Yankee Multum In Psrvo Invented
by New Bedford Man.
A New Bedford correspondent: "The
latest achievement in portable double
action furniture is the cooking clock,
now on exhibition here.
ut is made of white wood, stained
cherry, and is constructed after the
style of the old-fashioned grandfather's
clock. Here the resemblance ceases,
however, for before one is through in
specting its multiform surprises, one
wonders whether some bright little
automaton will not spring out of q con-
cealed drawer or secret receptacle and
offer you diamond ring and chrome.
'.In the first place the lower part Of
this mighty engine Of domestic econ
omy contains a gasoline stove, which
when in use is pulled out like drawer
from its resting place. Below the stove
is receptacle for kitchenware, while
above it is china closet containing
four shelves. Above all this is perched
a calendar clock, back of which Is at
tached gasoline vapor tank, which is
connected with the stove by pipe con-
cealed behind the case.
s'You might suppose that this collec-
ton of conveniences would have salts
fed its enterprising inventor-but no.
To the left and fitted securely to one
side of the case is an Argand burner
supplied with gas generated by the
gasoline vapor tank above mentioned.
When cooking is in progress the wood
work of the stove clock is protected by
sheet Of asbestos paper, which Is
placed back of the stove. When the
stove, china closet, etc., are not in use
they are pushed back into the case, the
front Of which is decorated with hand
some mirror.
Besides this multiplicity of useful
combinations the ingenious inventor
has found room within the magical
case for writing desk and drawer
for writing materials.

comfort can one ask for in one article
Of furniture? With one Of these stove
clocks and a folding bed in room the
occupant has q kitchen. bedroom and

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Pure iron can not be made perma-
nently magnet, but its magnetism
only lasts while current of electricity
is circulating around it, and hence it is
called an electro-magnet.
Careful experiments have shown
that waste silk is the most effective of
all non-conducting coverings for steam
pipes, and the demand for this purpose
promises to be great, Notwithstanding
the high price.
DIR. G. Keller, OF Zurich, claims
from careful observation of their
habits, that spiders by destroying
aphides and insects perform a very
important part in the preservation OF
forests.
"A London company is reported to
have secured patents for the chemical
production of aluminium, sodium and
potassium; and to be able to manufact-
ure aluminium at considerably less
than one shilling per pound.
1t has been found in California
that a cold-air blast dries fruit in the
most satisfactory manner. Samples OF
fruit dried in this way-prunes. april
cots and apples-two years ago, are
still in a perfect state of preservation.
in preparing chocolate, the pow
der is made into a paste by grinding

mon and other spices, with a certain
amount of sugar. are added. and we'll

his paste is put into molds to harden.
The new gas engine, known as the
silent engine, invented recently in En-
gland, is coming into use on account OF
its simplicity OF construction and ex-
sellent results. 1t has an ignition at
every revolution, instead of at every
two or three revolutions, as in the Otto
and other gas engines.
The deleterious effect of arsenic on
the skin was recently discussed in the
Pathological Society of London. 1t
seems that the skin is the tissue ON
which arsenic has the most marked in
fluence, and the poison may spoil the
complexion instead of improving it,
by making it muddy and unsightly.
Tea drinkers will welcome new
competitor in the tea-markets of the
world. A few years ago an English
settler in Natal planted few acres
there with tea His first crop, pro-
duced in 1881. amounted to no more
than 500 pounds, but the production
has so increased since then that last
year Natal put upon the market about
100, 900 pounds of tea. The industry is
spreading rapidly, and it seems likely
that before long South Africa will be-
come serious rival to China and India
in this trade.
1t has been proposed to do away
with the use of explosives in mines
where their use is attended with dan
ger, and substitute the lately invented
cartridge-one portion of which is filed
with mixture of finely divided zinc
nd zinc oxide, which collects in the
condensers of the zinc retort, while the
other part is filed with dilute sulphurio
acid. According to the requirements
in this case, the cartridge is put in its
intended place, and then, by suitable
mechanism, the acid is allowed to flow
into the zinc. Hydrogen is then evolved,
and, by its expansive force, the rock is
broken down, without combustion or
violent explosion.

ALL ABOUT KISSING.
A Dissertation for the silly Season from .
Learned Authority.

Learned Authority.
De Lewis calls kiss the door that
opens the citadel to the heart, and poets
and people of all ages have found mys-
terious virtue, bitter-sweet, magic and
elixirs, and lotions of greater or less
potency, but the acme of human happi-
ness, wrote poetess, is that we may
kiss whom we please and please whom
we kiss.
A kiss to be a success, must have
mutual interest; there must be recip-
rocity in the operation, or somebody
suffers the punishment of disgust. Kiss
ing an unwilling pair of lips is as mean
victory as robbing birds nest, and
kissing too willing ones is about as UNI
fragant a pastime as making bouquets
out of dandelions.
At the start the average man makes
a botch of kissing. The beauty of a kiss
lies in its impulsiveness and its impressi-
bility; nor is it possible to make the first
one too brief. There is danger in the
attempt to make the initial kiss COM
plete. The girl won't have it. There
is too much audacious avarice about it.
The thing to do is to go at the fair
creatures lips slowly, so as not to
brighten her; it is to be expected
that she will draw them away from
the point of attack, but instead
Of retreat the thing for heroism
to do is to kiss her on some
place-on the cheek, the temple, be-
hind the ear or on the hair. A
woman's fancies are as branching as
the trees of a forest, and however un-
satisfactory to the swain the misplaced
kiss may have been, it will, if left to
itself, make the recipient wondrous in
dulgent next time. She will caress
the spot where your lips have been,
look at the place through hand-glass,
and dream of the one who placed it
there. When sufficient progress has
been made in love-making to warrant
the ideal kiss, take it methodically.
with both hands, and ''the gentle
touch that love can teach" Let the
left arm go about-not her neck to
wrinkle a crepelissc ruche-but about
her shoulders. Take her chin in the
right hand, allowing the three fingers
to touch the pretty white throat, hold
ing the face with the thumb and fore
finger, which will form sort of wise
for loves conquest. Move her head to
one loves conquest. Move her head
to one side and a little backward, and.
so as to make the quartet
of lips describe the diameters of an
imaginary square, kiss her twice-the
second double the length of its short
predecessor. This double kiss is a clew
to q mans culture. Only the uncouth,
ill-bred lover kisses as he learned to
country units. The gentleman who
has had the good fortune to be born in
an atmosphere of refinement makes
duet of his first and final salutation,
whatever may be the numerical value
of the intermediates. The well-bred
girl wants short, sharp, swapping
kisses, that pop inaudibly, but still
pop. A kiss on the hair is the kiss Of
q poet; tenderness is implied when
the lips press the eyelids; reverence is
spoken when the brow is caressed and
protecting love when the cheek is en-
pearled.
Nothing can sanctify kiss but love,
without which the sweetest lips are
unsavory and unwholesome. -London

ONLY THE BRAVE.
LOUISIANA.

There once was maid Of sixteen,
Who In love had as yet never been.
Neither tinker nor tailor.
Nor soldier nor sailor,
Could win her affections, ween.
All lawyers she strongly despiscd,
And cicrgymcn ne 'er recognized.
Author. artist and actor,
Poet, doctor had LACKED her
Affection. which many men priced.
II was currently rumored she said
That the fortunate man she would wed
Must be brave as lion,
So she could rely on
His courage as well as his head.
All soldiers she look'd on with scorn,
Even those who In battle were torn,
For she said they were proud
OF the gaze Of the crowd,
And the TUNES and belts they had worn.
But one day at bah game she met
An umpire, whose name forget
And she thought him so brave
She her heart and hand gave,
And don't think that either regret!

feet gave way, and with loud scream
she was hurled to the bottom of the
we'll.
Mrs. Spratt and Ben saw what hap
pened, for their eyes had fondly fol-
lowed Melinda in her every movement,
and they now rushed to the scene of the
catastrophe.
Stepping carefully upon some planks
that were lying across the opening of
the well, they peered into the abyss be-
low them. There was no sound ex-
ccpt of crumbling earth and pebbles
falling from the sides of the well. The
earth was loose from the rain during
the day. and the break where Melinda
had fallen in had started the walls to
caving all around.
Then large mass of earth fell crash
ing to the bottom of the well and laid
bare q huge bowlder hanging as If
ready to topple the next moment.
A faint moan from the bottom of the
well reached the ears of those above.
20, Ben, she is alive! Save her!
save herr' cried Mrs. Spratt.
Il can't, Mrs. Spratt. That rock in
the side of the we'll will fall in
directly" whined Ben.
20, save her, Ben! I'll lower you
down with the windlass and hoist you
out again." pleaded Mrs. Spratt-
faint no use. That rock will
tumble in in minute" still moaned
Ben.
just then Zip, with head bent, came
walking toward the house. Mrs. Spratt
saw him and called out to him excit-
eddy: Zip! Zip! come quick. and save
Melinda"
Zip heard and did not lose moment
