PURPOSE OF HEART-BEAUTY OF FACE.

PURPOSE OF EART-BEAC OF FACE.
Alice Freeman Palmer, ex-president Of
Wellesley College, recently said in an address
before the Women's Board Of Foreign Mis-
slons, Boston:
Lam so sorry for the girls and women
who have so great, absorbing interest out
side of themselves. In studying faces at
social gatherings, one can hardly fail to be
impressed with the different expressions
upon the countenances of those who arc &C
customed to assemble purely for pleasure,
and those whose lives are dominated by
noble purpose. Girls naturally desire to be
beautiful. But if the beauty is to be lasting,
il at forty or sixty they wish to have that
certain something in their personal presence
which makes women Of that age 30 attrac-
tive, they must live outside of themselves.
S%elf-culture sought for its own sake will
never make a girl winsome. Her graces, her
accomplishments, her talents of every sort,
must subserve some higher good to be
really possessions. That Is why an interest
in foreign missions has such an ennobling
effect upon q young persons character. 1t
carries thought and affection to the farthest
limit. Therefore, girls, with all your get.
ting, get enthusiasm for this branch OF
Christian work, for your own sakes Also"

known that such changes in temperature
are equally necessary for successful plant
growing in glass structures where arti'
fetal heat is used. On this subject Mr..
Saunders, the Superintendent of gardens
and grounds at Washington, has said
that one of the most prevalent and in.
furious errors in the management of green.
houses and other plant houses is that Of
keeping the temperature too high during
the night. To maintain as high degree
of heat during the darkness as during
the light is a practice opposed both to
science and the results Of experience.
1t is said that plants grown in nearly
uniform temperature under glass seldom
ripen or mature their woodi in a thorough
manner; the buds are immature and make
feeble growth, and the Who'll e plant con.
tracts a delicate habit of constitution
which renders it incapable of withstand
ing the slightest neglect without injury.
On the contrary, plants constantly sub
jected to q suitable lowering of night
temperature are more robust, have short
jointed and matured growths; flowers
not only expand more fully but remain
longer in perfection; fruits are better
colored and favored, and more perfect in
every respect than those developed in an
atmosphere of uniform heat and moist
ure. Greenhouse plants require no heat
during the night further than to exclude
frosts.
Another injury consequent upon a
high night temperature during winter
arises from the extraction of moisture
from the atmosphere. To maintain an
inside temperature of wen fifty degrees
when the external is near zero involves a
rapid generation of heat, and as the
capacity of air for taking moisture in
creases in proportion to its rise, a great
demand is made upon the plants and
everything in the house capable of Civ
ing up moisture. The quantity of water
thus carried off may be seen by the de-
position Of ice on the inner surface of
the glass after a night of severe frost.
Ice one-fourth Of an inch in thickness is
often found under these circumstances,
the result Of condensation and freezing
Of the water carried from the contained
moisture in the atmosphere and from the
surface of the plants. The parched and
unhealthy aspect of the plants subjected
to such treatment is sufficient evidence
against the propriety of the practice

THE BATTLE OF F
Rise! for the day is passing,

eho eoy El-gsE.sNNl
And you Lie dreaming on,
The others have buckled their armof.
And forth to the fight have gonel
Aplace in the ranks awaits you.
Each man has some part to play:
The past and the future are nothing
In the face OF the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams Of the future
OF gaining some hard fought hald;
OF storming some airy fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield.
Your future has deeds Of glory,
OF honor, God grant itmay!
But your arm will never be stronger.
Or the need so great as to-day.
Rise! If the past detains you,
Her sunshines and storms forget:
No chains so unworthy to holdyou
As those Of a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless forever;
Cast her phantom arms away;
Nor look back save to learn ths lesson
Ola nobler strife to-day.
Rise! for the day is passing,
The low sound that you scarcely hear-
Is the enemy marchingt to battle.
Rise! for tie foe Is here!
Stay not to sharpen your weapons
Orthe hour will strike at last
When from dreams Of a coming battle
You may wake to find it past.

The Great Sutro Tunnel.

"There are some interesting facts con.
nected with the great Sutro tunnel of
the Comstock mines in Nevada" said
s'Brick" Pomeroy, the originator of the
Atlantic Pacific tunnel now being bored
through the Rockies just west of Denver.
ssThe Sutro tunnel starts in at little vii.
lage called Sutro, on the line Of the Viz
ginia and Truckee Railroad, on the Car.
Eon River. The tunnel enters the
ground at a point fifty feet above Carson
River. and is projected to run four miles
into Mount Davidson and there end at
a depth of 1900 feet below the surface
under Virginia City, where it taps the
Yellow Jacket and other silver bearing
veins that form the so.called Comstock
mines. When the Sutro tunnel was
projected but little was known of the
character of the Comstock mines. 1t
was thought the mines were shallow.
This mineral deposit had to be drained.
IT was believed that a tunnel running
into the deposits would drain the mines
and provide a way tor carrying the ore
out on wheels rather than by the expen-
sive method Of hosting. The owners
agreed to pay Sutro 50 per ton for all
the ore taken from their mines, no mat.
ter whether it was ia Ken out through his
tunnel or hoisted to the surface by the
mine owners. The water was run out
through his tunnel free of charge. This
was the ~alluring inducement offered
Sutro to drive the tunnel. The size of
the tunnel in the clear was made, eight
feet in width by ten feet in height.
Under the timber floor is a waterway,
through which flows the water dfained
from the mines. Before the Sutro tun.
mel was finished a shaft had been sunk
in the mines to the depth of 1900 feet.
Therefore, the tunnel was of no use in
draining the chief mines. The
of the mines refused to pay Sutro the
50 per ton royalty on the ore On the
ground that his tunnel did not drain
their properties to the depth they had
descended in them. Sutro threatened
to erect a solid bulkhead in the tunnel and
stop the drainage. Rather than be
drowned out the mine owner paid the
81 per ton royalty, and at las: bought
the controlling stock in the Sutro Tun.
mel Company. The greatest depth
which any of the Comstock mines de-
scended is 5000 feet. Some years ago
the mine owners let their workings fill
up with water to the 1900 foot level of
the tunnel, so that what were at one
time the deepest workings in the Vel.
low Jacket mine are now under 1400
feet of water.
"The miners put on an india rubber
cap and india rubber shoulder pieces to
protect them from the dripping hot.
water. They wear wooden wraps around
their hips and heavy Wooden-soled shres.
Their bodies and legs are bare. The
heat in the ore beds is 12U degrees on
an average. The miners work fifteen
minutes, then return to the COOLING
room and are rubbed down with cakes oil
ice. Each man is allowed eight gallons
of ice or ice water, as he prefers, each
day. The miner remains in the shaft
eight hours a day. Alternately he works
fifteen minutes and takes forty-ive
minutes in cooling off, and therefore
actually works but two hours q day.
He receives ST. a day."-N Chicago Herald.

THE L OF SALT.

In the story of old. when the water was
hitter and the land was barren, the prophet
took a cruise of salt and cast it into the
spring. At once the fountain was healed,
and the land became fruitful. Christ's true
disciple is just q cruise of salt in the Masters
hand, one whose presence has power to heal
Iife's bitterness, making the power of life
sweet for those about us, and planting. the
waste and deso!ate places of life with a
beauty like the garden of the Lord. Surely
heaven itself could have no fairer sight for
our blessed Master than such a disciple here
in the midst of our busy life, one whose
noiseless influence is like a breath OF heaven,
bringing wholesomeness, sweetness ana
strength. To come into contact with, such q
one is to find a healing virtue.-[Pearse.

. BOILED GRAIN FOR STOCK.

Farmers who are distant from mill can
generally afford to purchase those porta.
Bile mills made for farm use, operated by
horse power, which at the seasons when
most grain is fed a majority Of farmers
have more of than they can find use for.
But there are many who cannot, or think
they cannot, afford to purchase these.
For such the old %fashioned plan OF boil
ing grain makes an excellent substitut g
for grinding it. The grain in boiling is
swollen, thus preventing the distention
of stomach that is often caused by whole
grain when it digests slowly.-Boston

A Valuable Dog.

At the recent American Stock Show at
Chicago there was a trotting match be-
tween two dogs harnessed to small
sulkies. A dog named Dock won the race,
covering his mile in three minutes with
never a break. The dog belongs to a
boy named Willie Ketchaw, who bought
him some time ago for 81. His owner
now has in bank, it is said, $1,000 that
the dog hasjwon for him in 1aces.--New

MRS. POTTER PALMER has been re-
quested to drive the last nail in
the woman's building for the Chicago
Worlds Fair. The matter is in the
hands Of a committee Of LADY Man
ayers Of the Columbian Exhibition"
although why 10 exalted beings as
"lady managers" should condescend to
have anything to do with a mere
woman's building is not apparent.
The scene will be a beautiful one if
Mrs. Palmer is really to drive the
nail. First she will probably give a
blow that will leave a dint the size Of
half the hammer head in the wood
work; then she will bend the nail
nearly double; and after that she
will smash her pretty fingers, and
throw down the hammer in disgust.
However, as the nail is to be of gold
and silver and copper, not to mention
any precious stones which it may be
decided to put into it, there will
probably be a neat hole made into
which Mrs. Palmer can gently push
the composite spike with her fingers.
and thus avoid the terrific compli-
cations which would inevitably follow
upon any attempt to really drive the
nail home.

Boiled turnips are not a desirable food
for pigs if fed alone. They are too
watery, and need some more solid nutri-
ment added. But when boiled with any
kind of grain, as corn, wheat. or buck
wheat, the mixture is healthful and de-
sirable. The mixed food should be
made as thick as can be eaten readily

out of a pail.-New York Times.
