People Who Read Dickens.

A year or two ago a lady-an
American-was walking alonga Lon.
don street and looking curiously at
the barrows and carts drawn up
against the curb Some We're filled
with old keys and tools, Others with
fruit and vegetables, some with
cheap iewelry and here and there
one with books.
BY the side of one of the bookbar-
rows a young girl was seated on a
pail turned upside down and Sc. out
in the street. She was bent nearly
double over the volume that she
was reading. and in which she was
50 absorbed that she did not sec or
hear the lady approach, pass behind
her and look over her shoulder.
The book was the "Old Curiosity
shop" 1t was a queer coincidence
that some months before that lady
had asked 4 class III a fashionable
New York school to name their fa-
voritc book. and it, too, had been
the "Old Curiosity shop" With
such testimony from such widely
different classes of society there can
be no doubt as to the writer who
should head the list of selections in
fiction for our children. New York

Little Emily had been very naughty
because her mamma would not let
her 90 out with q party of friends
with whom they were staying. and
she screamed 80 that every one in
the house was distressed and worried.
Her mamma had to lock her up in a
room and tell her she could not come
out till she said She would be good
and promised not 10 cry any more
Every now and then her mamma
would go and ask her to promise, but
she only screamed the louder.
AT last a silence fell upon the
house. and when poor mamma opened
the door, there, stretched upon the
floor. lay the pretty weary little
form, and when the dear mother
drew her to her and asked the oft
repeated question. "Will you De good
and promise not to cry any more"
the pretty eyes looked up, still full
Of tears. and the little girl said, Eyes,
mamma. I'll be good and promise
not to never, never cry any more till
some Of my dear relations die. -

The two men who best recall, in
very different ways, the popular lee
ture of the last generation are Wen
dell Phillips and John B. Cough.
The men are totally unlike, and their
lectures bore no resemblance to each
other. Cough was comedian, and
he played upon one string, the evil
of strong drink, upon which he al
ways had the sympathy of the audi
ence, for he spoke from experience.
His power lay in his ability to tell
and act a story, comic or pathetic,
and his bursts Of eloquence, which
were commonly tawdry and forced,
always brought down the house be
cause they were charged with his
personal enthusiasm. He was sue
cessful only on one theme, but he
was in earnest ON that, and he gath
cred about that all the telling illus
trations of his reading and his keen,
humorous observations of life, and
on the platform he was the magnetic
center of fireworks. He was the
nearest approach to a Puritan thea

A Successful Experiment That Verified
One Made some Years Before.
The boiling points Of oxygen and
nitrogen are respectively 1888 and
$50 degrees F. below the freezing
point of water, and therefore these
are the highest temperatures at
which they can DO seen as liquids.
The most remarkable liquefaction
which has yet been accomplished,
however, is that of air The two
gases of which it is almost entirely
composed are oxygen and nitrogen,
and since these have different boil
ing points it would naturally be sup
posed-as it was supposed-that they
would liqucfy separately, the oxy-
gen, which has the higher boiling
point, first and tho nitrogen after
ward
So indubitable did this reasoning
appear that Thoughts few years ago a
small quantity of liquid atmospheric
air was actually produced by two
continental scientists they were told
that they must have been mistaken
and that their supposed liquid ali
was not air at all. The audience
which was so fortunate as to witness
Professor Dewar's remarkable exper-
iments at the Royal institution re
ceived ocular demonstration that the
too confident critics were wrong
Liquid atmospheric air was produced
in considerable quantities, and some
of it poured into wineglass and
handed around for inspection.
1t was at first in a state OF violent
ebNllition, but this soon ceased, and
a gentle and finally almost imper
ceptible effervescence took its place,
the liquid air being apparently in nc
hurry whatever TO resume its ordi
nary gaseous condition. This was not
the least striking part of most
striking experiment, for ut an ordi
nary temperature tons of pressure t.
the square inch would not have re
tanned the air in liquid state, yet
there it was in an open vessel and
apparently exposed to the temper
AZURE of the lecture room, but it was
apparently only.
All liquids when boiling absorb
neat. and liquid air is no exception
to the rule; therefore on being
poured into the glass it Immediately
absorbed all the heat it could get
frsm that source. and there was nc
other available save the Immediately
surrounding air, but this air was it
self just given off from the liquid
state and was Mt the low tempera
turc of the boiling point. In conse
quence sufficient heat was not forth
coming TO maintain ebullition, and
the liquid air was compelled to evap
crate with comparative elaboration

the real truth Of the matter, which
was that he was compelled to stay at
home and take care of the baby, the
nurse having declared at the last
