recognition such as he had seen in the

if petrifed, but on hearing the gentle

"Father, father, / have found you at

Marcel, replied:
"You mean my son, good woman"
The mother had opened her lips to
explain everything, when her husband
silenced her with warning glance,
and then she said hesitatingly:

are the father of our Marcel? What

"Here are the receipts you gave the
notary when he paid you every quar-

package of papers from his pocket, and

coat, the gentleman thinking these poor

father, and then Marcel returned, hat

Victor and Cesarine stood as if spell

Hoeing a Hill of Potatoes.

A farmer who has been rather more
fortunate than his neighbors is reported
as saving: "There are not half the
farmers who know how to hoe hill of
potatoes" We presume the one who
made the remark thinks he knows all
about it. But the chances are that he
knows little if any more than his neigh
bors. 1t is very wise man, taking one
season with another and considering all
kinds of soil and weather, that knows
just how to hoe hill of potatoes. He
may know one way and hit it right one
year, but fail the next So his way of
doing it may be good on one soil, but
not on another. 1t is question every
year whether killing or fiat culture is
best, and no one can tell, until the sea-
son is over, which ought to be or to
have been chosen. Killing on a dry
soil, in dry time. is pretty likely to
ruin the crop: and not to hill in wet
time is to insure failure. Flat culture
is probably best for dry season, and
killing for a wet one, but neither can
be foretold; SO it is more of thing
to know how to hoe hill of potatoes
than mary may think. The roots want
a cool, moist soil to feed in and the
tubers want dry, warm soil to develop
in. The desideratum is to secure these
two conditions.

John Boyle O'ReiIIy's Tombstone.

out ledge of rock whose base is in the
foundation walls of the earth. Count
less 9ons ago the great glacial plane
passed over this ledge, cutting its iron
lace and leaving a polished surface,
which the rains and frosts of thousa nds
of years have hardly dimmed. Grind
ing its way slowly over the reef the
mighty glacier left is indelible imprint
behind, and left also an equally endur-
ing memento of its passage-a giant
boulder of conglomerate rock, fifteen
feet high, and roughly speaking, about
twelve feet square-seventy-f tons OF
weather-stained, time-detying, eternal
rock. 1t stands on the crest of this pic
turesque height, landmark conspicu-
Gus above all else in the neighborhood,
solitary, massive and majestic.
1t is to be the tombstone of John
Boyle O'Rielly. No mark, save single
tablet on its face. will be allowed to mar

Changing Christian Names.


"Macaulay" maintains that man
should have the unquestioned privilege
of changing his Christian name if it
does not suit him. Man, prominent
men have taken libertiei with their
names. Vice President Henry Wilson s
name was Jeremiah Goliath The
once noted Boston editor, Joseph 7.
Buckingham, was originally Joseph
Tinker. ether distinguished men have
made important alteration in their
names. James Bayard Taylor, for
instance dropped the first name, and
though it appears in his earlier works,
he is only known as Bayard Taylor.
Byron, on the other hand inserted
"Noel." His name originally was
George Gordon Byron, which is long
enough, but he made the above addition
after reaching manhood. In the same
manner James Cooper inserted "Fenni-
more" after ne had become known in
authorship. 1.-THE spy was published
by James Cooper, but when he issued
"Homeward Bound" he was James
Fennimore Cooper, which is little
more swell. The great Edmund Burke
was originally "Bourke." A mans
name is the most important thing that
can be tackled on to him; it may
seriously cripple him in the race for
honorable success and eminence; and yet
it is the one thing connected with him
selfabout which he has little or nothing
to saw

A Wonderful Invention.
From the Boston Herald.

from the Boston herald.
The accounts that come across the
Atlantic of an electric invention made
by Dr. Mandruft in Geneva, Switzer-
land, have strong SAVIOR of improbable
ity, to say the least. The machine is
| described as an extremely simple de-
vice, solid sphere of copper, 40 cent?
metres in diameter-about Is inches
contained within a sphere of zinc so
centimetres in diameter. The two
spheres revolve in opposite directions at
a rate of 500 revolutions a minute, and
the space between is kept filed with
steam at pressure of six atmOspheres.
1t is said that from a half-horse power
| of motive force an electric current is
developed sufficient to run 500 incan-
descent lamps. AS ten lamps are reck-
oned to horse power, this means So
horse power electricity
Now this would be absolutely absurd
were it claimed that SO small an amount
of motive power alone produced such
an astonishing result. The law of con-
version of energy shows it to be i'm
possible to develop from any device
whatever more force than is applied to
the operation of that device. 1t would
be getting something out of nothing;
or like the proverbial effort to lift ones
6CIl NY CIIS OOOG II CbC1O 10 Oily
basis to the story, the electric power
must be developed mainly through a
conversion of the energy resident either
in the heat, or some other property of
the steam, under some hitherto I'M
known mechanical Or chemical princi-
pie.
Should these reports be verified, or
the conversion Of heatinto electricity be
effected in some other way, the results
would, indeed, be almost beyond the
limits of conjecture in the changes
wrought. An extraordinary cheaper
ing of light and motive power would be
brought about, and the cost Of all kinds
Of mechanical production would be
correspondingly diminished Labor
saving devices of all sorts would be
more generally introduced. Electric
heating, instead of being merely the
oretically practicable, would probably
become the cheapest form of heat for
domestic uses, as well as the most con-
venient.
Another far-reaching result would be
the introduction of cheap aluminium.
That remarkable metal, the most abund-
ant in it's crude state OF any on earth, is
now the most extensively produced by
the means of powerful electric currents,
and with a source of electric energy it
could probably be manufactured as
cheaply as iron.

The Sacred Fire.

Ovid tells us that the first temple of
Vesta at Rome was constructed of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch. like
the primitive huts of the inhabitants.
1t was little other than circular COW
cred fireplace, and was attended by the
unmarried girls of the infant commune
ty. It served as the public hearth of
Rome, and on it gloWed, unextin-
guished throughout the year, the
sacred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy, and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
skirt was, which means "to dwell, to in
habit" and shows that she was the god
dess of home, and home had the hearth
as its focus. A town, state is but
large family, and whats the domestic
hearth was to the house that temple of
the perpetual fire became to the city.
Every town had it's Vesta, or common
hearth, and the colonies derived their
fire from the mother hearth. Should
vestal maiden allow the sacred fire to
become extinguished, she was beaten
by the Grand Pontiff till her blood
flowed, and the new fire was solemnly
rekindled by rubbing together of dry
wood, or by focusing of the suns rays.
1t might not be borrowed. The circular
form and domed roof of the temples of
Vesta were survivals of the prehistoric
huts of the aborigines, which were in
variablV round
