A new Kind of lifeboat has been CON.
structed to the order of the Boulogne
Humane society ON model designed by
one of it's members. The construction
of the new boat is simple and econom-
ical. and could be adapted to any sea-
going rowing boat. The invention con-
sists in the Introduction of air tight cop
per chambers. broad at the gunwale
and diminishing at the bilge, placed on
the outside of the boat. where they are
equally distributed, so as not to interfere
with the sweep of the oars. The tops of
the chambers shelve down outward,
forming ii smooth gunwale ten inches
broad amidships and tapering away fore
and aft.
These compartments are protected
from injury by a casing forming double
bulwarks, inasmuch as the shape of the
hull preserves perfectly its boatlike ap-
pearances. 1t means really a little
more beam and consequently more sta
bility. The proposed new feature does
not at all affect the speed of the vessel.
In addition to these compartments cham
bers can be fitted fore and aft. It has
been usual to place the air or cork lined
chambers inside Iifeboats. especially on
board of ships lifeboats
The outward application of these air
cases gives greater solidity to the boats
side in the event of being STAYED in, and
will tend to prevent accidents such as
happen through people bringing their
weight to bear on one side of boat when
pulling person out of the water. A
boat fitted as described has been tested
with the combined weight of six persons
assembled on one side.
All this weight failed to overturn the
boat. the water tight compartments
brought into contact with the water
resulting only in giving the boat a par
tial list and so far proving its resisting
power and buoyancy. The new boat is

The Insect Wax of China.

One of the most curious products of
China is insect wax, of which 1,539, ,2S7
pounds, worth $780, OC0in gold, were shipped
from Ichang on the Yangtse river in 1889.
1t is a product of the western part of the
province of Se-Chuen, in central China,
where the wax insect fourishes best and
finds its food most abundant. EARLY in the
spring numerous brown, pea shaped scales
appear on the bark of the boughs and twigs
of the Chinese evergreen tree They con-
tain mass of small animals, like flour,
whose movements are almost impercepti-
BILE. The female wax insects develop the
scales and deposit their eggs in them and
the males excrete the substance known as
white wax, which is supposed to be in
tended by nature to protect the scales.
The wax is spread over the whole branch
to depth of a quarter of an inch. When
the deposit appears to be complete the
branches are cut off and as much OF the
wax as possible is removed by hand The
rest is secured by boiling the branches,
which destroys the scales and larvae. The
wax is put into boiling water, where it
melts, and rising to the surface is skinned
off and put into molds.-New York Sun.

CELNA, o., March 2s.-A few DAYS
ago a stranger came to the home of
William Wehrs, near Middlepoint,
north of this city, frightening the occu-
pants of the house. His underclothes
was all that covered his person, and as
soon as he had raised the alarm he ran
to the stable and climbed into the hay
NOW and hid himself under the hay.
Mr.. Wehrs informed his neighbor. Mr..
Oglesbee, of the insane freak, and they
proceeded to the barn to capture him.
He had been running wild through
the woods without hat or shoes, and
barely enough clothes to keep his person
from exposure. At times he would
imagine a posse of officers were after
him, and that they wanted to take his
life, while at other times he would
imagine that large forces of men were
arrayed in line of battle, with himself
i'll command of the victorious side.
Thursday he was taken to the infrmary.
but the superintendent would not re-
ceive him, and he was lodged in Jail.
When searched nothing was found on
his person but certificate of member
ship of Knight of Labor lodge at New
Albany, Ind. giving his name as James
Milne, and he was a glass polisher by
trade. The general belief is that he
was drugged and robbed and turned
loose among strangers, and he had lost
his mind from the exposure and drug.
From appearances he has been running
wild and exposed for some time, as his
feet We're frozen and lacerated in hor-
rihle manner.

The Golden Mean,

Between the idlers and our overbusy
women there is golden mean, represented
here and there by the happily absorbed
mothers who reach out occasionally from
their home circles to assist in the broader
work of life, the needs of which are made
known to them. But moderation does not
often accompany the degree of earnestness
and feeling requisite for genuine philan-
thropy, so that our perfect woman is to be
judged rather for herself, her influence
within the home, and thus, indirectly, upon
society. She is harmonious but rare
being, gracious presence everywhere,
while our typical woman is definite force

Birds in Forests.

1t is commonly supposed that there Is
but little bird life in the forest, because so
few birds are seen or heard. But this is
not the fact A large number Of families
are represented, though not many songsters
waste their sweetness in the solitude. The
forest is SO dense and the underground SO
thick that the smaller birds easily hide
themselves from sight, and if they utter a
beguiling note or two you will look for
them in vain. To study them one must
choose proper localities and wait patiently
for opportunities. One class of birds will
be found in the thickets, another in the
clearings, others in the evergreens and
hard wood, near streams and on and about
lakes Forest and Stream.

FIRST STORY.

This is, indeed, rare condition. No
where else in France had l met it. In
truth, most houses everywhere are ugly.
In our own America there is not city or
town, so far as l know, where the large
majority of houses ares not unattractive.
In Brittany, as | said before, have been
in many villages and towns where none
were ugly.
There is no place that know of where
the idea that beauty and large sums of
money do not necessarily go together is
more clearly exemplified than by the re-
suits of housebuilding in Brittany. 1t is
necessary for the public to understand that
they have right to demand attractive
ness, independent Of cost, in order that the
general character of our towns and vii
lagos may be improved. 1t is the public
who must influence the architect and not

FRONT ELEyATION.

In Brittany we find the simplicity Of
housekeeping. The living part of the
house consists of one room. There is al
ways large, open fireplace with an elevat-
ed hearth, fireplace so large that it pro-
vides space for hanging and storing all
the kitchen cooking utensils and many Of
the household supplies. Wood is very
scarce, very expensive and consequently
the fire occupies only small portion of
the fireplace. Oftentimes for cooking a
meal there is used a little bur ch not much
bigger than hat, while the hearth is six
or seven feet wide and four or five feet deep
The hearth and the walls which surround
the fireplace form really kind Of kitchen.
The room itself contains three or four
beds, stationary tables and benches, which
often entirely take the place of chairs.
This is one room. Occasionally the house
is two stories high, and there are sleeping
rooms above. In the rear, and as part of
the house, we often find stable for the
COW and place for pigs and chickens.
Very commonly all are under the same roof.
In this there is the simplicity of house
keeping, yet with it all there is regard for
the artistic and keen artistic instinct
which develops wonderful results in de-
sign. The beds and other furniture Of the
interior are usually beautifully carved and
decorated, and on the exterior we find a
high regard for artistic effect. have been
in villages in which one could not see one

A Cure for Bashfulness.

This is what one of my girls has written
to me: 81 wish and pray you could tell me
how to cure bashfulness. People say not
to think of yourself, but of others. Ihave
tried that, but cannot succeed. I cannot
take my mind off myself. am always
asking myself if my hair is out of curl, if
my clothes look pretty and thousand other
such questions. | cannot haln'it. haun
tried and TILED, but am continually think
ing whether am acting right, speaking
right or looking right"
First to this girl must be said that when
one is eighteen years old one should not
say Cannot" do anything. She can if
she will. Suppose she thinks this. She
says she is considered pretty. What is
mere prettiness? She is not beautiful for
a beautiful woman, an absolutely beauti-
full woman, is seldom vain. Very few peo.
Pile care whether girls bangs are out OF
curl or not if her manners are pleasing
and she shows desire to make others en-.
joy themselves. Very few people care if a
girls clothes are pretty or not if the girl is
self conscious and stupid.
like girl to want to look pretty--that
is part Of her duty in life. But want her
just to remember this: that beauty is the
easiest thing lost in the world; vanity will
make it offensive illness will cause it tc
vanish, and it goes with old age, unless the
mind and the heart have been SO cultivated
that the woman herself is a joy forever
When this is so the good God lets her keep
her beauty.
Try, my inquiring little girl, and obliter-
ate self. When you are among people look
out for the one who is shy and bashful like
yourself; go to her, talk to her, and after a
few times you will find that it will become
very easy. Stop thinking that people are
looking at You.-Ladies' Home Journal.

A Dogs Peculiar Appetite.

A curious case of perverted appetite is
reported from Germantown, Pa. A dog
in that town refuses to eat sweetmeats,
but disposes of onions, turnips and pota-
toes with greediness. When raw onions
are given to him he eyes them closely,
as if he were able to discriminate be-
tween the different grades. He eats
horseradish of the strongest quality, and
has never been known to vince. He re.
fuses animal diet, pies and cakes, bur
when he is presented with raw potato
he stands on his hind legs and barks.
