Counting the Notes IN the Sunbeam.

Counting the dancing NOTES in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never-ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
80 break the spirit of little heroines
n the German folk stories. Some
thing more than this, however, has
oeen achieved by modern SCIENCE
which is now able to count the par
5icles floating in any given portion of
che atmosphere, and determine what
proportion of these are dangerous
germs and what are mere dust. DR..
Frankland's curious experiments
nave shown us how to count the
micro-organisms- and now Altken, of
Ealkirk, by otallydifferen method,
lat been enable to take stock of the
more harmless but hardly less inter-
asting dust notes. Thirty-thousand
such particles have been detected by
lin in the thousandth of a cubic inch
Dfthe air of a room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather, the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas after a heavy rainfall the
number was only 521. That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very inn
2ortant results must be obvious to
all. Among the most curious dis
,overies already made is the direct
relation between dust-partieles and
Jog, mist and rain.

He Brought Back the Candle.

Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in a store on Wal
aut Street to make a few purchases.
The only light in the store was IL
candle standing Oh the counter near
the money drawer. After making
his purchases he handed the proprie-
tor a bill, and, after returning him
the change, the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange
something, when suddenly he vas
eft in the dark. He started toward
the counter, and, cropping round on
it, found. not the candle, but the
change. 1t struck him then that
probably the man, in a fit of absent
mindedness, had taken the candle in
stead of his change. He started out
after him, and catching up with him,
he saw that be had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other.
After apologizing forthe mistake the
stranger took his change and gave
back the candle.

mfch and iorti, lefure the door, his
i.ce flushed ~ though his interview
with SimoaGrover had been anything
but pleasant.
See grandfather, what | have
found IN tie seashore. Whatdoyou
suppose there is in it,"
The old man started as though his
eyes were coming out of his head, and
shook in every limb.
Its my box" he cried, as 500 as
he could find his tongue. "Oh, Nell
lie, where did you find it,"
''On the sand, grandfather. The
storm last night must have cast it
up. But are you sure it is yours
the one your papers were in?"
GOT course | am, child. 1T is the
very box, sent back to NE by Heav-
ems mercy. Simon Grover, youhave
lost the game you thought you won
when you stole this and threw it in
to the sea-"
1t was no small job to force open
the box, but at last it was accom-
plished. Therein was a package OF
papers stained by water, but con-
siderably well wrapped in oiled silk.
Not a paper was missing, and the
box contained beside quite a sum in
gold.
The day on which Simon Grover
anne to take possession of the prem
ses was a day of triumph for the old
man and his granddaughter. Alaw-
yer had been sent for, and their
enemy brought one with him. 1t
took the two limbs of the law but a
few moments to see how matters
stood with Simon Grover, and at a
whisper from his lawyer he departed,
never to set foot in the old house
again.-Yankee Blade.

The Brides Outfit.

| remember the cine when no farm
er's daughter in the Mohawk Valley
was allowed to leave her fathers
home for another without her dozen
of sheets, pillow-cases, table-cloths,
towels, ETC., and a goodly supply of
bedding, feather bed and pillows.
To these was added q COW, and
sometimes also a horse and a few
sheep. Of course it often required
some forethoughtan good manage
ment when the family was large and
the farm small, but it was no little
pleasure in such cases for the girls, as
fast as they advanced to a marriage
able age, to appropriate a calf or
some motherless lambs, and by care
and coddling raise them in readiness
for the possible event of their mar
riage. Likewise did they have their
pluckings from the geese to make
feather beds and pillows, and the
quilting frame and spinning-wheels
helped them to the rest. These were
truly homely preparations, but in a
sense that is of far better significance
than ordinary bric-a-brac and en-
broidery, which constitutes chiefly q
brides belonging to these days. l
dare say that not many months
elapse before most young house
keepers wish their fnery, which was
thought SO important at the time Of
the wedding, could be transformed
into blankets or o1n other useful
articles. In a nome there must al
ways appear a complete background
OF the necessaries to make ornaments
show to advantage; and where pro-
vision is not first made for the must
haves, there is a small chance of
their receiving proper attention.
