st. Bernard is the name of a pass in the
Alps mountains. At the highest point,
more than a mile and half high, the
monks built a hospice, or hotel, about a
thousand years ago, and monks have lived
there ever since for the purpose of giving
shelter and food to travellers who pass that
way.
Being at such height, it is very cold, n
lake near by being frozen over during nine
months in the year. The snow falls some
times to the depth of 40 feet and of course
makes the path impossible. In the blind
ing snowstorms the traveller who fails to
reach the hotel before night soon finds him
self exhausted, and benumbed with the
cold he lies down to die.
Now comes the work of the dogs. Being
strong creatures, with thick, shaggy coats,
and withal being used to the cold, they do
not suffer like other breeds The monks
tie warm blanket on each ones back and
send him out to look for belated travellers.
If be finds one, almost covered perhaps
with snow, he will dig him out and try to
revive him. II he succeeds, the man will
take O drink from the bottle OF stimulant
tied to the dogs neck, and the dog will
lead him to the monks house. II the man
does not quickly revive the dog will run
back and bring some of the monks to his
aid. Our picture is that of fine full grown
st, Bernard.

shelIwork In the East.

Nothing goes to waste in the extreme
orient. Everything. no matter how humble
Is utilized in some way or another Thus
for example, says the Jewellers Circular
nearly every form of shellfish is used for
food. The shells are not thrown away as
In the western world. Some are reserved
for the button maker, others fer the jeweler,
some for the cabinet maker, others for the
glue boil
An in '"us way Of using shells is as
buttons, links and hairpin heads.
For this p 1se q small shell is employed
ranging froA a quarter inch to an inch in
diameter. II cleaned and polished and
half filled with molten solder. Before the
metal cools wire loop or hairpin is insert
ed in the middle Of the molten mass. The
loop becomes the shank of the button,
which is strong, neat and very attractive.
The cost of the button ranges from 20 to 90
cents dozen. Sometimes the wire loops
are Of silver, when the figures are Of course
considerably higher.
More ingenious are the shell cups, saucers
and spoons made from the larger types OF
tropical univalve shells. In making cups
and saucers the conches are sawed through
In about the same manner as cocoanuts
when intended for dippers. They are cleaned
and polished, and the convex surface ground
slightly, so as to rest ON q table without
spilling or tilting The spoons are made by
saving the round superior surface of the
concave at such an angle as to partially in
tersect the spindle or major axis. This be-
comes the handle of the completed spoon.
According to the size of the shell, the result
is dessert spoon, tablespoon or ladle con-
tanning q quart.

teorite oollides with the earth, the velocity
with which IL strikes Is so great that the
blow against the air itself and the friction
Of It's passage raise its temperature TO n
white heat, Just as q nail may be heated
redhot by striking it on an anvil with n
hammer. This heating is usually quite gu.
perfcial, as the few seconds consumed in
It's passage through the air are not long
enough to raise mass of any size to a red
or white heat.
While the number Of meteorites reaching
the earth probably amounts to thousands,
II not millions, every day, very small pro.
portion are noticeable, and still fewer reach
the ground. For the most part they are
extremely minute, hardly larger than fine
grains of sand, and are totally dissipated
In the air before reaching the earth. These
constitute the familiar shooting stars y
which are so common on clear moonless
evenings. Popular Science News, in which
the foregoing is found, further says:
Meteors can be divided into two classes.
the stony or mineral and the metallic. The
presence of native or metallic iron Is very
characteristic Of meteorites, as native iron is
very rarely found in the rocks constituting
the earth's crust. Very curiously, this me
teoric iron isalways alloyed with nickel, and
when the surface Of such q metallic meteor
ite is polished and then etched with acid
the crystalline structure of the alloy is de
veloped in q most remarkable manner,
forming design known as the Widman-
st@tten figures Gig. y. The production of
these figures was formerly supposed to be
peculiar to meteoric iron, but specimens of
native iron have been found in Greenland
which gave these figures and resembled
meteoric iron in every respect, but were
afterward found to be of terrestrial origin.

Keeping 0Turtle.

Turtles should be accommodated with
wet and dry places for choice Two very
'cute" little turtles lived happily once In
the basin of q greenhouse fountain with a
rockwork mound on which to rest. They
recognized persons fed from the fingers
and grew very tame. What boys call the
box turtle, really land tortoise, will be
or at least appear quite contented II he is
''staked out" In the yard In this way, a
hole carefully drilled in the edge. of his
shell and light cord yard or two long
tied through it, with the other end fnstened
to q stake. The animal proceeds at once
to burrow a home for himself and there he
will dwell in seeming satisfaction, while
his keeper can coax him out occasionally
by pulling gently on the cord to look at
him and see if he is doing well-Olive

The Domestic Service Question.

The problem of domestic service Is one
that is of the greatest interest to all house
keepers On this Lucy g. Lille gives her
views in Godey's She regards the difficult
ties experienced in obtaining efficient and
faithful household servants as due TO a
faulty system Atthe presenttime servants
are regarded too much as machines, and
there is too little real sympathy between
them and theiremployers. In former times,
when servants were help" tho difficulties
that are now encountered did not exist
Mrs. Lille writes
"There was time in which the mistress
ofthe house was its caretaker as well. Hg
maids or 'maidens' were as much her
charge as her own children, and they in
turn treated her gentle rule as 1t deserved.
To be in domestic service was honorable,
as 1t should be. Quitting a position for any
reason, man or woman carried with them
thegood viii Of theemployer and generally
speaking the friendship Of the family"
That there will be any change for the
better until old methods are reverted to
Mrs. Lilliedoes not believe.

Possibilities of the Cotton Plant.

After having for ages supplied clothing
70 large proportion Of the Inhabitants Of
the globe, It's pressed seeds have lately fur
nished available oil useful for human food
and In many of the arts, while the cake Is
priced for live stock feed, and the ultimate
residuum or refuse makes fair quality of
soap. The stalks, too, besides being used
for thatch and baskets furnish fiber that
can be converted into gunny and other
kinds OF cloth nearly equal to those made
Of tute, and they are also made into COM
mon sorts Of paper, while the lint which
clings to the seed after it has passed
through the gin makes excellent felt. The
latest discovery, announced by the British
CONSUL at Zanzibar, is that cotton seed is
capable Of yielding sugar. The process ex-
tracts the sugar from cottonseed meal, and
though its details have not yet been dis
closed the product is declared to be of a
very superior quality, Is times sweeter
than cane sugar and 20 times more so than
sugar made from beets.

Interesting Statistics Regarding Those be-
longing to the United States.


longing to the United States.
Previous to the Revolutionary war, 40
cording to Thorne, there were only FIVE
public libraries in all the colonies outside
of the libraries Of colleges. OF these two
were in Philadelphia-the Library company
Of Philadelphia, founded in 1871, and the
American Philosophical society in 1742; one
in Charleston, the Library society, estab-
ished In 174s; one in Providence, the Athe-
n@um, established in 1853; and one in New
York, the Society library, founded in 1854.
There are now, according to recently
compiled statistics, 5,3Ss public libraries in
the United States, each containing 300
volumes and upward. These include all
the libraries of colleges and academies
Three hundred and eighty-six libraries on
the list have 10000 volumes each and up
ward, 26s being libraries that are free to
the public under certain restrictions, and
11S charge o subscription fee for their priv
ileges. OF 70 10000 volume libraries 100
are libraries ( schools and colleges, and
266 are libraries belonging to states, cities
or societies. There are II libraries in the
United States having over 100000 volumes

A Lucky Bow,

Some boys have a great deal of luck.
Probably the luckiest boy the world ever
knew was the little Maidstone (England)
boy, who had very narrow escape while
flying his kite some five or six years ago.
Not looking where he was going, he stepped
backward and fell into u quarry 40 feet
deep, TO the horror Of some persons walk
ing near. The string of the kite, however,
being fastened round his wrist, the boy was
lowered gently into the pit, the kite acting
as parachute, and instead Of being dashed
to pieces he escaped unhurt Perhaps this
means that he is destined to make his mark
In the world. The great Lord Give, when
youth, tried three times to shoot himself,
but the pistol missed fire each time.

The Hippopotamus.

This is big word, and it is the name OF
a big animal. 1t lives in Africa and is al.
ways found in the water or near it, and 1t
is sometimes called the river horse. 1t has
an enormous mouth, and each tooth weighs
from five to eight pounds. The teeth are
the best kind of ivory, and a single tooth is
worth from $50 TO $40.
Though so large and powerful, the hippo
potamus is quite harmless, unless it be-
comes enraged. AS it eats nothing, how
ever, but grass, roots and other vegetables,
1t does an immense amount Of mischief TO
the gardens of the natives. 1t is hunted
for its hesh, which is valued as food, as
well as for its teeth, and its skin, which
makes very strong leather.

Interestlng Facts About Gum Arnble.


Most of our readers are acquainted with
mucilage as it comes from the stationer's
in neat bottle, accompanied with brush
for applying It to the paper or scrap that is
to be pasted, but few perhaps really know
much about gum arabic, the substance
which dissolved In water makes the mu-
cilage. What, then, is gum arabicY
ut is the juice from the bark of the aca-
cia tree, which grows in the eastern coun-
tries around the Mediterranean. This Juice
hardens as fast as 1t runs and formr in
Jumps the size Of pigeons egg. Moro,co
is the best producing country for this gum,
and the native Moors make most of their
money from it. About the lst of January
the Moors encamp along the borders Of the
forests, to gather the yearly harvest of gum.
The Moorish boys 60 through the woods
and gather the Jumps from the outside of
the trees, where 1t forms much like the gum
from our wild cherry does The gum is
loaded on camels and carried to sea ports,
where 1t is sold. When it is gathered, it is
a very nourishing food. A lump the size

cia that produces it. There is kind that
comes from Australia, another from East

Gum arabic is used for many purposes be-
sides that of making mucilage 1t is used
In medicines, in the manufacture of candy,
to give luster to Grape, silk, etc., to stiffen
the fibers in cloth when finishing and in
calico printing. So useful, in fact, is this
substance that it is imported into the
United States in large quantities, as high
as 100000 pounds being imported in a
single year.

Oil of Eggs.

Extraordinary stories are told of the heal
ing properties Of a new oil which Is easily
made from the yolk Of hens eggs The eggs
are first boiled hard, and the yolks are then
removed, crushed and placed over a fire,
where they are carefully stirred until the
substance Is just on the point of catching
fire, when the oil separates and may be
poured off. One yolk will yield nearly two
teaspoonfuls Of oil. 1t is In general use
among the colonists Of South Russia as
means Of curing cuts and bruises, ETC.. ac-
cording TO The Druggists Circular.

Origin of the Peach.

Nothing isnow more universally accepted
than the fact that the peach is an improved
variety of the almond. The almond has a
thin shell around the stone, which splits
open and exposes the stone when mature.
This outer skin has simply become fieshy
in the peach, so that is all that gives it its
specific character, explains Meehan. 1t
seems now clear from investigation in the
history of ancient Babylon that in their
gardens, now nearly 1900 years ago, the
peach was cultivated then as it is now. 1t
must have been many years before this that
the peach was improved from the almond,
and this fact goes to show the great an
tiquity of the fruit
