By new method of cementing iron
the parts cemented are so effectually
joined as to resist the blows even of a
sIedge hammer. The cement is COM
posed of equal parts of sulphur and
white lead, with a proportion of about
one-sixth of borax. When the compO-
sition is to be applied it is wet with
strong suIphuric acid, and thin layer
Of it is placed between the two pieces
Of iron, which are at once pressed to-
gether. In five days it will be per
fectly dry, all traces of the cement
having vanished, and the work having
every appearance Of Welding.

PROF. W. PRESTON JOHNSTON says
of General Lee when he was President
of the college: 81 never saw him take
an ungraceful posture. No matter how
long or fatiguing a faculty meeting
might be, he always preserved an atti-
tude in which dignity, decorum and
grace were united. He was a very well
built man, with rounded body and
limbs, and seemed, without the slight
est affectation or effort, to sit, or stand,
or walk just as a gentleman should.
He was never in a hurry, and all his
gestures were easy and significant He
gave a minute attention to the details
of his Office, and liked to talk about
them. I soon perceived that he did not
like to discuss the event or incidents of
the war"

ant book-keeper for a wholesale house

year. Something happened. no matter
what, and I was thrown out. I was
idle for two months and then I went to
work for seven hundred and fifty dol
lars. At that time was thin and weak,
and couldn't walk a mile to save q dol
lar. At any rate, I thought I couldn't.
But when my income was so fearfuI1y
reduced I found 1t absolutely necessary
to econolSize, and I did so by walking
home a distance of about five miles. It
pretty nearly killed me at first. Then
I began to enjoy it. Within three
months I was walking both ways, and
I've kept it up ever since. Ten miles

VANILLA is produced from a species
of orchid that attaches itself to walls,
trees and other suitable objects. The
plant has a long, feshy stem, and the
leaves are alternate, oval and Ianceo-
late. The flower is of a greenish-white
color and forms azilIary spikes. The
fruit is a pod, measuring, when full
grown, some ten or twelve inches in
length and about half an inch in diam
eter. The quality Of the pod can be
determined by the presence or non
presence of a crystalline efHOreseence
called giUre, and by its dark chocolate
brown color.

WOMEN who have no business expert
ence are apt to have very vague ideas
of money. For instance, they never
appreciate the value of check until it
is cashed. It does not seem like money
to them, and I feel certain that if the
average woman were offered her choice
between five hundred dollars in notes
and one thousand dollars in a check,
and both were before her, and she had
no time to think it out much, she would
chose the five hundred dollars. and
conclude she had the best of the bar
gain. There is no exaggeration in the
story of a woman who. on hearing some
body say that diamond cost fifteen
hundred dollars, asserted: ooh, no; I
am sure that it cost more than that. 7
I am sure it was something over a
thousand!"

THE custom OF strewing flowers on
the graves of the dead originated
among the women of the South, who
during the civil war annually decorated
the graves of the Confederate soldiers
in that way. The beautiful custom was
adopted throughout the country, and in
1868 and 1869 Gen. Logan, Commander
in-chief Of the G. A. R., appointed
May so for that purpose, because, it is
said, the last soldier enlisted for the
war was discharged on that day.
