Angry Words.

(Contributed.)
Angry words, oh, let them never
From thy tongue unbridled slip,
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil thy lips.
Love Is much too pure and holy,
Friendship ia too sacred far
For n moments reckless folly
To desolate and mar.
Angry words tho lightly spoken,
Bitter thoughts how rashly stirred
Brightest links Of life are broken,
BY q single angry word. ,x,,,,

Manufacture Of WindOw Curtains.

"One of the best paying discoveries
that we have ever made" said q manu-
facturer of Chemnitz, Saxony, is the
manufacture OF curtains in which India
rubber figures as the main ingredient.
The material for these curtains con
sists OF 10 per cent. OF wool dust, s per
cont. OF pulverized fruit stones, 10 per
cent. Of bleached amber ~varnis, and )
per cent OF blcached leather waste. To
these we also add, il we find it neces-
sary, a quantity OF infusorial earth.
These various substances are then taken
and worked up together with hisul-
phite OF carbon in the most perfect
manner until they form q thick mass.
This Is then rolled into thin leaves,
which are capable OF being decorated
with the greatest variety of ornamental
designs and patterns, and then a guam
tity OF these leaves are combined to
form a curtain. Before very long the
majority of the houses in Continental
Europe will be supplied with these
curtains"

ceptiOn OF blowing, the advancement
OF autumn farm work averages from IL

the season. Effort was made to make
it as complete as possible. The figures
are OF course not absolute, as some OF

that, Notwithstanding the drouthy

The Body Like q COMPASS Needle.

The old-time superstition, that hui
man beings should always sleep to the
north, seems to have been based upon
scientific principles. Some French
savants have recently made interesting
experiments upon the body of q crimi-
nal who had suffered death. The body
Immediately after death was placed on
a pivoted board, free o move in any
direction. After some little vacilla-
tion the head portion turned to the
north and then remained stationary.
One Of the experimenters took hold Of
the pivot and turned it SO that the head
pointed south, but upon being freed it
almost Immediately resumed the first
named pOsition-turnel until the head
pointed north. To prove that this was
neither accident nor coincident upon
muscular %twitching, the board was re-
peatedly turned half round and then
freed, but always with similar results.

1t a Great Invention.

The harvester was invented in 1881.
Since that time this machine has been
brought to such perfection that, it is
said, IL wifi cut and bind an acre of
grain in forty-five minutes. To such an
extent has machinery superseded hand
work in the grain farms OF the North
west that 1t Is estimated that the labor
of one man will raise enough grain to
support q thousand men for q
while the labor OF q second will trans
port it to market, and that Of q third
will prepare 1t for food.
