To Measure the See level.

A new apparatus for measuring the
mean level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles. It is based on the
principle that when a liquid wave trav-
erses a capillary tube or a porous parti-
ton, its amplitude diminishes and it is
retarded in its phases without the mean
level Of the wave changing. It consists
Of a glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
in the plunger, the lower being filed
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very little with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from a graduated scale.-New York

The Attnrnnv,a nnr

A Boston lawyer who resides in the
suburbs is the owner Of dog that GER
tainly possesses the instincts Of an attor-
ney. The other day he saw another dog
carrying off tempting looking bone.
A second dog followed at a short dis
tance. The lawyers dog quickly con-
ceiVed a plan of action worthy of an en-
inent legal mind. He immediately
brought action against the dog with the
bone. The third dog at once quickened
his pace, and lost no time in instituting
supplementary proceedings in his own
behalf This assistance proved equiva-
lent to a decree for the plaintiff, for the
lawyers dog left the third dog to bear
the brunt of the litigation, and seizing
the bone fed to his own kennel, where
possession was truly nine points of the

Our sun n Star

Most young folks now know that the
difference between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from the
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of stars there is one infinitely nearer
to US than all the rest; being so much
nearer to us that when we see it we have
day. When by the earth's movement
on its axis the sun has set in the west
we have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the more distant stars
unless, indeed, the moon is shining.
In the main, 1t is true that the enor-
nous difference in the intensity Of the
light that we receive from the sun in the
one case, and from all the stars seen at
night in the other, depends upon the fact
that the sun Is the star nearest to Us, and
the other stars are suns infinitely re-
moved.--J. Norman Loclryer in Youths
ComDaniOn.

A Daring Argument.

a quick witted and daring western
lawyer once saved a guilty client from
sure conviction on charge of poisoning,
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means of certain cakes, a
portion Of which was produced in court.
When the counsel for the prisoner had
finished his speech, he said: "And these,
gentlemen of the jury, are some Of the
alleged poisoned cakes. We declare to
you, gentlemen Of the jury, that they
are not poisoned cakes. They are as
harmless cakes as ever were made, and
in order, gentlemen of the jury, to show
you that these cakes are not poisoned,
will eat one of them right here in your
presence"
And he did eat one. he took good
care, however, to leave the room at the
earliest opportunity, and to make bee
line for an adjoining room, where he
had an emetic in readiness and an anti
dOte. But the jury never heard about
the emetic OF the antidote until the law
yer's client had been acquitted. San
Francisco Argonaut.

The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical profes-
SION toward Y hat is known as patent
medicines" is not at all unreasonable.
Thousands of these DostrumS are offer
ed to the public every Nrar. Some of
them are dangerous and most of them
are futile. Swift's Specific Is. s. S. J.,
we are all glad to say, is not eiassed in
these nostrums. 1t has overcome the
wholesome prejudice of physicians in
nll parts IF the country, and some of
the strongest testimonials in its behalf
come from medical men who have
used it in their practice, aud no do
not hesitate to endorse its wonderful
results. This is extremely gratifying,
hut by no means astonishing, for every
claim that is pat forth in behalf of s.
S. S. is based on a series of experiments
extended over long period of time.

An ANCIENT FARM HOUSE.
What the French Hostelries We're E&EO
nnrinn, the nTiddIn ACna.

What the French HOstelries We're E4kU
During the Middle Ages.
The houses of the farmers and To
country people differed then as now, ac-
cording to their rank and prosperity,
and also according to the district they
inhabited. The yeoman farmer, and
even the well to do husbandman, dwelt
In q solid house Of brick OF stone, tiled
or slated, with a paved yard separating
it from the barn and outhouses, the dai-
~ and cattle pens. The farm house
which in England was always construct
ed with a southern aspect-as invariably
faced the east in Aquitalne, while to the
rear well open to the west was long
tiled veranda, where in winter after
moons the hemp picking, the wool card
ing, ETC., were done.
Within the vast kitchen glowed in the
light Of the fire-almost as unextinguish-
able as the vestal virgin's-peat, coal and
wood were each abundantly employed,
and for a trifing rent, generally paid in
kind, the lord of the manor would per-
NIT the farmers on his land to cut their
turfs from his bog or their boughs from
his forest. Fuel was not only actually
but relatively cheaper in the middle
ages than today, for the bogs were not
drained in those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost of carriage
made it almost impossible to transport
their produce. In almost every shire OF
France and England the supply Of fuel
was in excess Of the demand.
This hospitable fire hared up Chin
ney prcportioned to its size, lighting the
huge brick oven, the iron iredogs, the
bellows, shovel, gridiron, ladies, cal
drons, saucepans, mortar, tin pals and
other utensils that stood on the brackets
of the hearth, and irradiating the brass
and copper pots, the metal candlesticks.
the lamp. the lantern. the not unfrequent
silver beaker, and the glass drinking
cups that were ranged on the chests and
cupboards round the walls. Near this
fire stood high backed settle, the mas
ter's corner, and under the great mantle
of the chimney narrower benches were
set in the brick.
Within easy reach of the hearth deep
oak chest held the logs for burning. II
was generally matched by a handsome
wedding chest with carved or painted
front, long enough to contain a grown
person full length, butmore usually filed
it must be admitted, with the best clothes
the trinkets and the savings of the house
hold. The registers Of the chatelet record
no crime so common as the breaking oper
of such wedding chests; and it is surpris
ing how many clasps of jewels, girdlel
of pearls, golden headdresses and rings
and purses full of gold were stolen from
quite humble households. Our fore
fathers invested their capital in cup
or trinkets of precious metal, pretty Il
look at, easy to hide, and readily con
verted into cash when necessity demand
ed a sacrifice. .-Fortnightly Review.
