TACT that. though hardness of stoue

inent in construction, yet this resis-
tame to weatf.ering does not neces-
sarily depend upon hardness exclus-

ties of the material. A hard materi-
al of close and firm texture is,
however, in those qualities at least,
especially fitted to resist friction, as
in pavements and road metal, and

TEACHERS AND THE WORLDS FAIR

OF course everybody will try to get to the
Worlds Fair. Teachers especially will want
to go. The Fair will be great educator; a
condensed trip around the world. Il will
teach more than a University course in Eu-
rope. The only question is how 20 go best.
What way will give the most enjoyment at
the least cost? Few teachers are millionaires,
but they are all discriminating. They can al
ways pick out the best, and they always get il
if possible.
Well. here's the best. The Boston a. Maine
will run, through the whole season, special
Exposition trains, leaving Boston every Sat
urday at p. m. and reaching Chicago early
Monday Morning. These trains will consist
entirely of the finest vestibuled Pullman
sleeping and dining cars; they will carry
their passengers to a special station close 90
the Fair grounds, and into the midst OF ex-
cellent hotels. Returning, these Boston A.
Maine specials will leave Chicago sund ~ af-
ternoon, reaching Boston Tuesday morning;
and one may take any return special he
chooses, staying at the Fair one week or as
many he wishes. One may also select from
several routes though doubtless the route via
Montreal and Niagara Pals will appeal TO the
majority. These special trips include a dou-
bic berth for each passenger, and three meals
each day. The whole trip will be the acme of
luxury. 1t Will be the best way to go to the
Worlds Fair; and strangely enough, il will
be the cheapest
These specials are limited In capacityi and
there will be no crowding. Each train has 1o5
berths. and will take only 100 passengers. lis
the point clear? Your application must be-
in early. There will be a great dearth of Pull
man cars this summer, the demand will be SO
unusual; but the Boston Sc Maine specials
are sure of their Pullmans; they've got them
now. Get a circular from the Boston office,
at any b. g. M. station.

Deyiled Chicken.

SINCE a young, plump chicken. Cut it.
open in the back, remove the insides and
wash it quickly in cold water. Rub Ia
blespoonful of salt all over it and place
it in the roasting pan with the breast
side up. Put a spoonful of butter in
small pieces all over the chicken and
place it in the oven TO roast. As soon as
it has obtained light brown color add a
pint of boiling water, haste frequently
and let it roast till tender. Ia the mean
time place the giblets in a saucepan with
cold water, add half a teaspooafUl Of salt
and an onion and boil until the giblets are
tender. Then take them out. chop them
fine and set aside. AS soon IS the chick
en- is done transfer it to a hot dish. Re-
move the fat from the gravy and then
mix d tablespoonful Of cornstarch with
half a cup of water and stir it into the
gravy. Stir and cook for few minutes
and then add the giblets and the water
they were boiled in, boil and strain. Pour
the gravy all over the chicken and lay
some fried oysters around the edge Of the
dish, with small sprigs of parsley between
them.

The SIoyness of the Snail.

"A snail's pace" need no longer be used
as term more or less indefinite. Those
skilled in the science of ''snailology" can
tel you just to a dot the snails rate of
travel. These interesting facts were as
eertained by some wonderful expert
ments at the Florence Qtaly) Polytech-
mic institution in 1880, and those inclined
t., be exact can now use figures to sup
port their arguments.
1t was all done in this way: A half a
dozen of the mollusks We're permitted to
crawl between two points 10 feet apart.
Exact time was kept from the start to
the finish and thus the average pace"
was ascertained. The experimenters re-
duced their figures into tables of feet.

found that it would take Il snail exactly

-. ~ the Eyes of His Interiors

1t is the habit of man to look down
upon the brute creation as his interiors,
and vet if man could know what the
dumb animals think of him perhaps he
would be less pulled up with his own
importance and superiority.
1t must appear ridiculous to the dog,
for instance, that man should require so
extensive an equipment of words to ex-
press his wants and emotions-words
that serve rather to hide than to illu
inmate his thoughts-whent the dog with
his limited vocabulary expresses himself
clearly. Surely a dog must regard his
bark, capable as it is of almost endless
modulations, as superior in the express
sion of thought to mans cumbrous flow
of ambiguity.
Then the swine, which man is prone
to regard as the living embodiment of
gluttony, has no doubt an opinion Of
man which in its turn is by no means
fattering to its object. The hog might
with reason from his point of view crltl-
else man upon his manners at the table.
How wasteful of time" he might say,
lis mans practice of feeding himself
with knife, fork and spoon. when he
could satisfy his hunger more expedi-
tiously by following my example and
consume his food without any of those
adventitious time destroyers! Man con-
dennis me because, forsooth. eat with
one or two feet in my trough, but he fails
to apprehend that my purpose is a lauda-
BILE one: that my sole object is to getnear-
er my base of supplies and SO save valu-
able time in my operations. Boston

Luck and III Luck.

..Some persons seem lucky in any en-
terprise they undertake., while others
who make investments are sure to lose
their capital" was remarked by Will
Bertram. 1T knew young fellow that
invested brass watch which cost him
So in a lot in Lincoln, Ills, which he
sold later for $25, 900. It was the lot
that the Lincoln House was later built
upon, and the rise in real estate came in
less than four years after his investment
was made. | know another man who
went to Sumner county, Kan, in 1874,
and carried with him shotgun which
cost him $13. Wellington had just been
made the county seat and was then a
town of 800 inhabitants, but 40 miles
from railroad. The young man was
offered six choice lots in the center of
Wellington for his $13 shotgun. The
offer was refused, and five years later
the same lots were sold for So, 700 each"
