Making Water Drops jump.

If we let drop of water fall on a leaf of
paper it will spread out in a large circle,
and we then say that the water soaks into
the paper. But if we have oiled this paper
or plastered it with lampblack or some
other substance into which water does not
soak. the drops will roll over the paper like
a ball, slightly flattened. Use is made of
this popularity in the trick which is de-
scribed herewith.
Take a strip of paper pretty strong in
texture trifle wider than four inches and
as long rs you can get. Several pieces of
paper pasted end to end will do. Pass the
paper over the smoking flame of a lamp,
or, to do away with all odor, cover one side
of the paper with plumbago. Place on end
on the table several books of gradually de-
creasinC size.
Spread over their backs the strip of pa
per, having a care to make the undulations
more and more accentUated as you 20 from
the large book toward the small ones. At
the end of the little book let the strip of
paper fall into plate. At the other end,
where the large book stands, pour the wa
ter. drop by drop on the paper.
These drops will roll on the inclined
plane which they meet; then, in conse-
quence Of the momeEtum acquired, will
mount over the back of the second book,
and thus following one another they will
reach the plate. The spectacle of these
drops of water rising and falling by turns,
and seeming to compete in Hveliness with
each other, is most curious.-Bufalo Elk

WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT OFFICES
Secretary Chase Appointed the First One
in His Department in 1861

secretary Chase Appointed the First One
in His Department in 1861.
Inc death of General Spinner gave rise
10 the suggestion that the women of the
country should erect a monument to his
memory, and for the reason that to him is
the credit due of first giving employment
TO women in the treasury department.
General Spinner died with MANY claims to
the public gratitude, but he did not origin
ate the practice of employing women as
clerks in the departments. The first an
pointee was Miss r. l. Wilson. She was
appointed by Secretary Chase, Sept. Ii.
1851, upon his own motion, and assigned to
duty in that branch of the treasury which
Is known as the secretary's office"
The second appointment, of Miss II. c.
kellar, was made April 4, 1862. She was
assigned to duty in the secretary's office.
but in the month of October, 1862, she was
transferred to the treasurer's bureau, and
at the same time two additional appoint
polntments were made by the secretary,
and the appointees were assigned TO duty
under the treasurer.
In the years lS6l-2-S there were only
twelve women appointed in the treasury
department. OF these one was in the score
tary' office, five, including one transferred
were IN the treasury, four We're in the regis
ter bureau, and two were in the internal
revenue Office. All these appointments
were made by Secretary Chase; but two of
them, one of April 4, 1862, and one of July
IL, 1868, We're supported by the recommeu-
dation of General Spinner
As the appointments We're made by Secre-
tary Chase, and as the first one, which ante
dates the second by thirteen months, was
made upon his own motion, and as he then
had the power to exclude women altogether.
the chief credit would seem to be due to
him. 1t is a tradition of the department,
supported, indeed, by the knowledge of
many persons, that General Spinner was an
early and earnest advocate of the new
policy, but it is also true that the twelve
women employed in the years named gave
such proofs of intelligence, fidelity and
capacity that the exclusion of the sex be-
came an impossibility
The fact may be worthy of notice, and
especially worthy of notice by those who
have been led to believe that it is the first
and chief business of every administration
to make removals, that of the twelve
women appointed previous to Jan. l, 1864,
ten are even now in Office Two of these
are paid a salary of $500 each, six are upon
a salary of 81, 200 each, and of the two re-
naming one receives a salary of 81 600 and
the other a salary of 81 500
In those thirty years the number of
women employed by the government has
increased to many thousands. In all the
various duties imposed upon them they
have shown adequate capacity, and in faith
fulness they are not inferior to the men
who are engaged in similar services 1t
may be assumed that each year will en-
large the sphere of their labors and add to
their compensation, which, speaking gen
orally, is not equal to the pay of men en-
gagged in corresponding work.-Geo S.
Boutwell, in Boston Globe

MY MOTHERS MEMORY.

Breathe her beloved name,
And DER my childhood's sunny path
Dark clouds of sorrow came;
My bark OF life was wrecked unon
Misfortunes hidden reef.

had wept tears OF grief:
And now seek my mothers grave.

how dark the shadows are that throw
Their somber hues DER me.

But their beauties leave to sit
Beside my mothers tomb;
And there watch, in solemn thought
Some bright star in the sky,
And think within its depths see
My mothers gentle eye;
AND happy dreams within me rise.
My Borrowing heart to cheer;
Unconstitutional to me unseen
Her loving spirits near.

Within the marts of trade;
But, ah, my mind is far away
Beneath the willows shade:
And though the world has many charms
Which other hearts may see,

Possess no joys for'me.

Vegetation Diet in Sickness.

Beaumetz claims that vegetation diet
thoroughly subserves alimentation of the
organism; the best proof of which is furn-
ished by the poor peasants who do not
eat meat, yet are strong and healthy
This diet is of therapeutic Importance
in certain diseases. A vegetable diet
limits to a minimum the production OF
toxines, such as neurin, muscarln, ETC. 1t
is indicated in sufficient functional activi-

accumulation of ptomaines in the blood
might prove dangerous.
1t is also indicated in ''putrid diarrh9a. J"
In diseases of the stomach vegetable diet
is especially indicated, as the intestines are
principally employed in its digestion, thus
affording the stomach considerable rest.
In the uric acid diathesis this diet is also
