LAYING Pipes Under Water.

A civil engineer at Watertown has ac-
complished in a very simple, cheap and
expeditions way what is usually difficult
and expensive operation-the laying of a
long line of pipe in deep water. He had
occasion to lay nearly 600 feet of suction
pipe at Rouse's point. The water was
needed for manufacturing purposes, and as
it was found that the water near the shore
was more or less impure it was necessary
to place the inlet considerable distance
out into the lake. He purchased for the
purpose steel pressure pipe of eight inch
diameter. Plugging the end of the first
length he pushed it out on the surface of
Lake Champlain and connected the second
length, pushing this out in turn until the
whole line was coupled.
1t then presented the unusual spectacle
of line of eight inch pressure pipe nearly
1000 feet long floating with displacement
of only 81 inches of its diameter. When
the requisite length had been connected
the line was towed to position, the plug at
the end removed and the pipe sank easily
in 161S feet of water without breaking a
joint or receiving any injury. No buoys or
floats were used in the operation and no APP
paratus of any kind. The pipe is now in
use as the suction of steam pump and
gives perfect satisfaction.-Ne York Tele-

Prince of Wales Feathers.

The tradition is that the black prince,
having slain John of Luxembourg, king Of
Bohemia, in the battle of Cressy, assumed
his crest and motto. The crest consisted of
three ostrich feathers, and the motto was
"Ich dien" q serve). John of Arden dis
covered contemporary MSS. in which it
is expressly said that this was the case;
but much controversy has arisen on the
question.
DR.. Bell affirms that the crest is rebus
of Queen Philippas hereditary title, viz;
Countess of ostre vault Ostrich feather).
Randall Holmes claims an old British
origin, and the Rev. H. Longueville asserts
that the arms of Roderick Mauve, prior to
the division of Wales into principalities,
was thus blazoned: Argent, three lious
passant regardant, with their tails passing
between their legs and curling over their
backs in feathery form.-Dry Goods

Entertainment for Boys.

One of the worthiest philanthropies in
London is the Children's Happy Evenings
association; its mission is explained in its
title. The work of this association has
been rewarded with flattering success, and
now new series of entertainments has
been devised for the delectation of boys
The first Of these entertainments was given
at the Stanhope street school, under the
patronage of the countess of Iddesleigh.
1t began with magic lantern exhibition,
and the 900 boys present were wild with
delight; then followed music by the Mary
lebone amateur banjo band, and singing
and recitations When the health of the
countess of Iddesleigh was proposed every
little fellow stood UP in his chair and
shouted like Trojan. tits estimated that
these entertainments provide pleasant and
profitable evenings for 100000 little folk
who otherwise would be running at large
in the public streets.-Cor. Chicago News

About After Dinner Speaking.

"Stop when you get there" is an ancient
form of schoolboy irony, and it applies ex-
cellently to the occasional orator. When
he has excited a laugh, or a tribute of
hearty applause, then he may count him
self happy in being through with his task
He has assuredly "got there"
But if he does not in short measure make
such an impression he will do well to bring
his speech to a close with the same inexora-
bic promptitude before his hearers have
time to vote him bore, which they will
most certainly do, secretly, if not openly.
The fortunate orator is he to whom
speech making is such second nature that
he can follow Rousseau's advice for COM
posing love letter, and "begin without
knowing what he is going to say, end with
out knowing what he has said"

to use ''us" for "our" than to use "him"
for "his?" Again, buttons are now not

wrote some years ago, entitled "L'Avenir

is somewhat akin to that of Lots wife; he
seems to be petrifying on his half way foot
ing between the two doxies. Perhaps his
increasing bulk has clogged the agility of
his brain, for he has become no less pom
derous as a pedestrian than he is as a
