Avoiding the society of those noted

The g,ci,.e Under the 7h,.mb-Nai1.

A minister relates: "A few months
after my ordination I was invited to
spend an evening at the house of a par
ishioner. Among the company was an
old gentleman named Mr.. Ford. When
We had tea the most Of us gathered
round a table, and began to speak about
various passages of Holy Scripture.
But I was grieved to see, while the ma
jority of us were proftably employed,
this old man, seated on the sofa, with q
number of young ladies around him,
engaged in conversation of decidedly
frivolous and flippant nature. Anew days
afterward, meeting my rector casually
in the street, he asked me if I had
heard that Mr.. Ford was very i'll.
While he had been engaged in his Office,
tying parcel, a Irvine had slipped un-
der his thumb-nail and forced it up.
Inflammation had set in, which rapidly
extended to the hand, and then to the
arm, so that great fears were enter
tanned for his life. I fastened to his
house, and was immediately shown into
the sick-room. As herecognized me he
family said, "Ah, it is you, sir; did
not expect to see you this way" / sat
down and read the gospel to him. He
was too weak to listen. In few hours
that man was in the presence Of God.
Oh, how he would regret, whether
saved or lost, the time he had given to
frivolous conduct, to the prejudice OF
his own salvation and that of others
whose attention is diverted from the
things of God.

aE.AKING HAY IN FINLAND.

A curious way of making hay is very
generally adopted by the Fins. Poor
men who own no meadows have long
been accustomed to cut what grass they
can find in the forest glades and other
waste lands. Owing to lack of roads
and farmsteads the hay was stuffed
among the branches Of neighboring
trees to await the winter frost and snow,
when it could easily be carrid off by
sledges. After wet season some farm
ers noticed that this was actually better
in quality than that which they them
selves had made from much better
grass. The wild crop so to call it, had
dried much better in the tree branches
exposed to free circulation of air than
the rich heritage which had lain long
on the sodden ground. Hence it oc-
CURED to them to make temporary trees
upon which their crops might be
dried.
This experiment was attended by such
success that the plan has been widely
initiated, and bids fair entirely to sup
plant the old-fashioned methods, After
the moving is done number Of poles
about ten feet in length and provided
with long transverse pegs are set up at
intervals and the grass is loosely heaped
upon them. The result is said to be
excellent. Even in wet weather only a
small portion forming the outside Of the
pile is discolored,, vile the inner por-
tons, exposed to the air beneath and
protected from the rain above, are dried
in perfect condition. Moving can be
carried on in spite of wind and rain,
and when once the grass is placed upon
the drying poles it may be left v ithout
fear of serious damage until the Yeather
changes. -Mark Lane Empress.

.NONE so DEAR.

1t has been noticed that sometimes
people who are slightly deaf appear to
De able to hear certain sounds better
than they are to hear others; and from
this the proverb, "None so deaf as those
who won't hear" has arisen. The story
Is well-known one of the rich father,
who was somewhat deaf, and who was
asked one day by his scapegrace son:
Father. will you give me fifty dol
lsrs?'
"What?" said the father, putting his
hand to his ear.
will you give me a hundred dollars ?"
shouted the young man.
Hold on!" said his father; II heard
you we'll enough the first time"
A somewhat similar story is told of
Sir Richard Steele, who, when he was
preparing a room in York Buildings,
London, for public orations, happened
to be a good deal behind in his pay
ments to his workmen. Coming one
day into the hall to see what progress
was made, Steele ordered the carpenter
to get into the rostrum and make a.
speech, in order to observe how it could
be heard.
The carpenter mounted the stage,
and, scratching his head, told Sir
Richard that he did not know what to
say. I'm no orator, sir" he said.
"Oh, no matter" said Steele; "say
the first thing that comes uppermost in
your head"
"Why, then, Sir Richard" said the
man, "here we have been working for
your Honor these six months, and can
not get penny of our money. Pray,
sir, when do you intend to"
"That will do-that will dol" said
Steele. "You may come down. heard

AN OCEAN RACER.
A Novel Craft Which May Royolutionize
Ship Building,

A Novel Craft Which May Rcvolutionixe
Ship building.
A most remarkable craft has been
launched from the ship ward of James
Lennox, South Brooklyn. The boat has
been named the Evolution, and was bnilt
by MIR. Lennox for DIR. w. M. jackson. the
designer of the craft and patentee of the
novel machinery with which she is to be
equipped. The boat is to be run by NV
araullc power, by snre;ng out q vast auan-
thy OF water throa4, i. :: small pipe under a
great pressure. 10 ,rrv out this plan a
consuming engine q. i,5OO-horse power
mas been constructed. The water is
pumped into the vessel through inch pipes
on either side of the keel. about midshins.
and is then forced out through three
fourths-inch pipes at the stem or stern.
according to the desired motion of the
vessel forward and backward. The ends
OF the latter pipes are covered with nova
Die collars which can be turned in any iii.
rection desired, and by this means the yes
Sci is steered. 1t is claimed that the boat
can be given broadside motion by turn
ing both escaping Jets of water (stem and
stern) either to port or starboard. as de-
sired. The boiler of the vessel is about
fourteen feet wide, and fourteen feet from
end to end and eight feet high, has two
nre doors at either end and contains nearly
TOUR and half miles of steel pipe, every
inch OF which is exposed to the fire con
tanned within the boiler. With this great
heating surface it is not strange that the
great pressure thus obtained forces the
water through and out of the three-quar
ter inch pipes at the rate of quo feet per
second, or over $4,000 feet-about six
knots per minute. A little launch that was
fitted out with like machinery. though of
course on very much smaller scale. il ia
claimed, made over ten knots an hour.
From the speed made by the small launch
it is confidently expected that the larger
craft will be able to run at least twenty.
five miles an hour and possibly at much
greater speed.
