When you 60 to the theater in the

that the word matinee" means In
French something that takes place In

it seems stranger still in London when

OF play when the curtain rises, as Il

Pat OF the following story, had never
been accustomed to such incongruities:
Pat was detailed as sentinel when
the 18th Maine was near Culpepper,
and was told to be very careful and
not to let any one or ANYTHING fool
him. He took his place and all went
well until two o'clock the next morn

The Camphor Tree.

One OF the most useful and magnifi.
cent productions OF the vegetable king
dom that enriches the soil of China,
more particularly the provinces Of
Kiang-si and Canton, is the camphor
tree. This stupendous laurel, acco riding
to the testimony OF learned Chinese
mandarins. has been known to attain {
height of 800 feet and girth measure
ment Of 80 feet. They seldom grow
on uplands, but are to be found il
abundance on the banks OF many o:
the larger streams. Lord Amherst'i
embassy reports the average height OF
camphor trees at from so to 10 feet
with stem circumference Of 20 to 80
feet. Besides yielding the camphor gum
OF commerce, this valuable tree is the
principal timber wood Of the Celestial
Empire and is used not only in building
but in most articles OF furniture.
The wood when dry is of a light yellow
color and, although light and easy
to work, is durable and not likely to
DO injured by insects.

binary fine wire is drawn through
steel plates, but that wouldn't do for
this work, because IL the hole wore

what is practically hole in dia-

wear. These diamond plates are
made by woman in New York, who
has a monopoly Of the art in this coun-
try. The wire is then run through
machinery, which winds it spirally
with layer Of silk thread that is

been next to impossible to transact any
business with the women customers OF

This is less rule in dwelling houses
than in flats. Those wives who man
age whole houses have SO much to do
that they must be about betimes, but
the women in the apartment houses
have little care and take life easy. IL

Gold that Zoe. Into Nrolar..

Interview with Boston dentist: A
dentist in good practice uses over 81, 900
worth of gold in year in filling teeth.
Some prepare their own gold, getting
it from United States mint, and then
making it chemically pure. Others
get 1t from the gold-beaters but the
greater part obtain 1t from dental sup
ply firms. This gold is put up in eight
ounce packages, packed in small glass
walls each containing traction OF an
ounce. The cylindrical pieces Of gold
in it are gold foil OF very soft and
spongv kind. When hammered into a
hollow tooth one Of these cylinders will
not take up one twentieth of the space
it occupied in the vial. There are
several dental supply factories in the
country. The largest is on Staten
island, and turns out $500, 900 in gold
for dental purposes every year.

POWER OF WATER.
Astonishing Force or u Stream Under n
High Pressure.

AstOnisnthS rorce OF u stream Under
High Pressure.
Mr.. Augustus j. Bowie, OF San Fran
CISCO the author OF standard book
on hydraulic mining. estimates that 9
stream from 6-inch nozzle, under
$50 feet vertical pressure. delivers Q
blow of 588, 735 foot pounds every sec.
ond, equivalent to 1910 horse power.
1T is absolutely impossible, :" says Mr..
Bowie, Ito cut such stream with an
ak, or to make an impression on 1t with
any other implement" Mr.. Bowie
adds that although never to his knowl-
edge has a man been struck by such a
stream as it comes from the pipe. sew
eral accidents have occurred where
miners were killed by very much small
err streams at distances Of $50 or 200
feet from the nozzle.
After an elaborate series OF compu-
tations, Professor Samuel b. Christy,
of the University OF California an en-
iDent authority on mining and metal
lurgy, reports that il nozzle OF from
six to nine inches diameter were
specially arranged to throw stream
vertically upward against spherical
boulder OF quartz weighing 1000
pounds, the verticle head being any
whore from 100 to $50 feet, the boulder
would be forced up until the diminished
velocity OF the stream established an
equilibrium ofpressures. There would
be point at which the upward pres
sure of the stream would exactly bal
ance the gravity pressure Of the boul-
der, holding it. the half-ton rock,
there suspended.
AS to cutting these streams Professor
Christy says that he has often tried to
drive a crowbar into one OF them. The
stream felt as solid as bar of iron.
and. although he could feel the point
OF the crowbar enter the water for per-
haps half an inch. the bar was thrown
forw ard with such force that it was
hlmo.t impossible to retain it in the
grasp. An ak swung by the most
powerful man alive could not pene-
trate the stream, yet it might be cut
by the finger OF child, if the child
we're seated on n railway train moving
parallel with the stream in the same
direction and with the same velocity.
That velocity would be considerably
more than Il mile minute.
Justice Bradley, OF the supreme
court has also tried his intellect upon
the mathematics OF the problem sub
mitted by Judge Field. He delivers
this opinions: Il can we'll believe all
you say with regard to the tremen-
dous force OF streams issuing from the
pipes OF the miners under a large head
of water. OF course they would pro-
duce instant death If directed against
n man standing near, and would prob
ably cut his body in two"
The statements here presented III
summary will not astonish engineering
experts. The average citizen. how
ever. is accustomed to regard water az
the least destructive liquid that clE
be put in motion.

Many OF the Housekeeper readers
are city people whose little garden is
so walled up by neighboring houses
that the direct rays OF the sun never
touch it. But few plants will develop
their flowers there, and none will do
1t so well rs II it were lighted up by
sunshine, part of the day. Fuschsias
pansies, forget-me-nots, violets. lobe
lias. lilies OF the valley, hollyhocks,
phloxes and other herbaccous plants,
whose native place is the shady wood,
will do best, but even these languish
If denied all direct sunlight.
The best effect in such situations is
produced by ornamental leaved plants,
the beauty OF which is not dependent
upon their flowers. Among these
may be ranked the gold and silver
varlegated-leaved geraniums, achy-
ranthes, alternantheras, begonias,
caladnims, centaureas, Icoleuses. ETC.,
which, il planted so as to bring the
various shades into contrast produce
a pleasing effect, which continues
during the entire summer months,
and is not surpassed by any display Of
flowers.
The cultivators OF flowers in rooms
should understand the necessity of
sunlight to plants that are to flower,
and endeavor to get these as close as
possible 10 u window having an east

Home on. OF a Household.

Admirable and desirable as are
method and promptness in the life of
the household, 1t may be possible to
obtain them at too great a cost. It
will be admitted that the home is
made for the family, not the family
for the home. and that Medio-P Persian
laws do not conduce to the comfort OF
the household. The wife OF promi-
nent official in Washington related re-
Gently, with an air OF conscious SUI
periority, that in the entire twenty-six
years OF their married iifo their din

by any claim Of duty or enjoyment or
engagement of any kind that could in
terfere with the appearance OF the

such bondage TO material things is
something to be ashamed OF. not to
proclaim with conscious pride. In a
world OF sudden calls and emergencies,
OF tragedy and comedy in all the daily
life around us. the family who could
calmly ignore every possibility OF the
outside claims OF life, and dine at the
same moment 365 times u year for
twenty six years, is more or less than
human. The first principle in the
creation of a home is that the house
hold is made for the family, not
the family for the household.
Things must adjust themselves to
thought. Methods are to facilitate
the convenience OF the individual, aud
not to serve as an iron clamp into
which he is locked. Less thought
about the means OF living. and more
as to the essential life itself, is the de-
sirable ideal always. An easy-going
atmosphere is not only most conducive
to happiness, but to all best endeavor
aud work. The inner life must deter
mine tho outer, and not be determined
by it. A regular dinner hour is all
very well in its way, but humanity
does not live to dine, and there may
well be things that hinder it's unvary-
ing regularity. Nothing is more de-
pressing than a system Of houskeep-
ing so exact that all mental and moral
energies must be dominated by oh
servances OF domestic rites. Between
this and the almost equally fatal dis
order and 'inexactne So OF method there
is a happy medium. which my well
be held as the ideal standard Of at
tainment.
