Popular Songs Die Quickly.

At every music hall from twenty to thirty songs, or even more, will be sung in the course of the evening, and Of all these perhaps two or three in the year will catch the popular favor, be played on barrel organs, whistled by street boys, adapted for burlesques and panto- mines, and overrun the entire country in Q marvelously short time, until it pals upon .he very villagers. Some fifteen years ago, for example, it was impossible to go anywhere in the United Kingdom without hearing a certain Tommy being vocally adjured to make room for his uncle, writes F. Nisley. the English novelist in Harper's. It would be curious to resuscitate Tommy and his uncle now and see how much sue cess they would obtain with the public of to-day. The tune was irresistibly catching, but it would probably fall on deaf ears now. No superannuated thing is so utterly dead and forgotten as g once popular music-hall song, com pared to which Jonah's gourd was a hardy annual.

Amused and Content.

It is easy enough to awaken an Amer ican crowd from indifference or lethar- gy. In ferry-boat the other day every one sat erect, looking stiff and severe, says the New York Tribune. The cabin was cold. and the look of disgust on the scores of faces deepened to one of hatred of all corporations. The boatw shaking heavily, and the chandeliers rattled like light artillery. There was sharp crack, and one of the glass globes came flying through the air. 4 man thrust out both hands, and, with Q quick and delft gesture, caught the whizzing glass just as it was about to be shattered to a thousand pieces On the cabin floor. "A good catch!' some one shouted. ''Bravo," cried another, while a running fire of applause and hand-clapping went over the cabin that changed the situation entirely. J A hum of laughter and conversation arose on the air. It lasted during the trip across the river. The crowd was all good nat ure and smiles. Some one had amused the people and they were content.

Antiuuity of the Indians.

Henshaw, of the Archaeological Sc ciety of Washington. declares that the languages of the Indians of this coun. try, of which there were fifty-eight lin guistic families and 300 languages and dialects, north of Mexico, at the time ot the discovery of America, are none ot them related in any way to Asiatic tongues; also as to the origin of the Indian. it must have been in ages so faI removed from our own time that the in- tcrval is to be reckoned, not in years o1 chronology. but by the epochs of geol' Ocic time.

Good Reasons.

A pastor in Maine resigned because he boarded himself, swept the church, made the fires and rung the bell. The people swore at him, whitfield and ate peanuts in meeting time, fired pistols and threw stones at his house, came to church any time before the benediction, laughed loud during the services. etc. He says rum is sold openly in the town, and no one tries to enforce the law.

Adaptability of the Microphone.

The utility of the microphone for OBJ
servation of earth tremors and noises
was soon recognized, and Italy has for
some time held foremost place among
the nations which have taken advantage
of the special adaptability of this in
strument. 1t is now found that photog-
raphy possesses admirable capabilities
in the way Of supplementing the work
of the microphone in making these deli
cate records. Sig. Baratta, finding
some defects in method of mechanical
registration of the motions of seismo-
microphone, had recourse to the follow
ing device: A telephone wire is con-
nected with a subterranean micro
phone. Before the telephone dia-
phragm, and connected with it's center
with a fine aluminium wire, is a short
slip Of the same metal fixed below and
having curved piece at the top, which
rests against small mirror movable
about a horizontal axis. This mirror,
reflects the light from a lamp and lens

off every quarter of al. hour by shutter
arrangement worked electromagnetic

ON KEEPING WARM,

The Requisites Are Proper Food and Cloth.
ing and Fresh Air.
A writer on hygienic topics in New
York exchange says concerning the
philosophy of keeping warm: With the
mercury in the sitting-room at sixty
eight degrees one ought to be comforta-
bly, warm. If he is not, the temporal
ture is not at fault. Either more exer-
else, more carbonaceous food or more
clothes are needed; possibly more pure
air is needed, for bad air will strike a
chill to the stoutest heart. Instead,
then, when one feels cold, of increasing
the fire in the range, increase the heat
in the blood, or more carefully prevent
its escape by putting on garments that
are non-conductors of heat; open the
windows and let in more oxygen, and
let out the poisonous products of re-
SEPARATION, or go into the open air and
draw from unfailing reservoirs fresh
supplies of heat and vigor
There are women who suffer from
chilliness most of the time from fall to
spring, and who therefore live as much
as they can in rooms heated to eighty
and ninety degrees. They object to
much underclothing, and make slight
change in summer and winter BODY
wear. Of course they are always hay
ing colds and illness of various kinds,
which plenty of fannels would entirely
prevent. Some assert that fannels irri-
tate the skin and can not be endured
next to it. If not, silk or cotton gar
ment may be worn next to the skin, and
flannel over that. Vigorous friction of
the entire surface of the body before
going to sleep and upon rising from
sleep is an excellent thing to keep one
warm. - .... =. -.
Starchy food, sugar and fats, all art
.cles containing carbon in abundance,
are good foods for cold weather. Pas
tries, cake and crullers are in season
now, if ever they ought to be in season.
Candy in cold weather is grateful to the
palate and far less injurious, if in
furious, than in warm weather. In
stead of burning carbon in the stove
then, put it into the stomach; put on
clothing till chilliness ceases, exercise
till the body is all in a glow, keep the
air of the rooms fresh and pure, and the
liabiliAies to sickness that makes winter
a season to be dreaded will be largely
reduced. Budget.
