STEEL AND MAGNETISM.

The attention Of the Royal society
of Great Britain has been directed to
the elecuo-chemical effects on magne-
tizing iron, the experiments being as
follows: From a long, finely polished
rod two steel bars We're cut adjacently,
so that they were practically alike in
general composition and structure.
These bars We're both weighed and
then immersed in equal quantities of
cupris Chord solution, one of them
having previously been magnetized.
After a certain time-6 to "a hours
they were taken out Of the solution,
freed from deposited copper and car
bonaceous matter, then dried and
again weighed, the result being that
in every case the magnetized bar had
lost more in weight than the unmag-
netized bar-that is, an average OF
some % experiments showed an in
crease of corrosion in the steel, due
to magnetic influence, Of about per
cent, under the conditions of expert
ment.-New York Sun

PEACH BLOSSOMS.

Fresh peach blossoms on the trees,
Filled with honey, filed with bees.
From your wealth of spring life keep,
Fra GRANGE, for each fruit heart deep
Treasure all the sun warmed air,
With the bees your pollen share,
Keep the nectar which you brew,
From the evenings cool white dew.
Though the breeze your white cups
break,
Softly drop each flower flake,
Know that this is blossom week,
In the fall the fruit we seek.
Then these stems will hold the weight,
OF the fruit which bears your freight
Spring thus hangs within our reach,
First the blossom then the peach.

THE LUCIFERIANS.

The recent sacrilegious thefts in
Paris, including that at Notre Dame
the other day, have been traced to the
sect known as Luciferians, or worship
ers Of the devil says a London letter.
Their headquarters are near FribOurg,
Switzerland, but a large branch live
in Pals. They have a liturgy which
is a parody of the mass. The conSe-
Grated elements are either stolen FROM
churches or received in communion by
female adherents. A service of profa-
nation then takes place, which is known
as black mass. Mgr. Faya, bishop Of
GrelOble, has issued a circular to the
clergy ordering special vigilance as
the Luciferians abstract the hosts from
villages churches in lonely districts
without stealing the ciboriums and
monstrances in which the sacrament
is contained. AT the ministry of pub
lie worship the subject has been dis
cussed, and instructions have been
given TO the project of police to in
crease his surveillance of the churches
of Paris.

FOR A CHILDREN'S TEA PARTY
A Tempting Dish, in Which Oranges
and Lemons Are Used.

Woman at Home. Boil ten ounces of
Carolina rice, one ounce of arrowroot,
the rind of a lemon cut thin, and four
ounces of sugar in two and a half
pints of sweet milk. Flavor it with
ten drops of vanilla essence. Boil this
till it is quite firm, but not mushy.
When it is cooked turn it into a large
fiat dish, and when nearly cold mold it
into balls the shape of oranges and
lemons To do this flour the hands
and it will be quite easily managed.
When the oranges and lemons are
shaped dip them in a confection made
as follows: We take the oranges first.
One pound lump sugar, the juice of
three oranges, half an ounce of dis
solved gelatine, half a pint of water.
Boil ten minutes. Take half of the
syrup and put a pinch of saffron in it..
When the syrup is we'll colored and
nearly cold brush the oranges over
with one or two coats of it and lay
them on a sieve to dry Cover the
lemons with yolk of an egg and the
juice of a lemon, and when they are
dry brush them with the syrup which
has no saffron in it. When the or
anges and lemons are quite dry, ar
range them on small branches Of bay
leaves, making them look as if they
were growing. Serve a plain thick
custard sauce and chocolate biscuits
with them.
