How Nice One May Be Made at Small
 Expense
 It is a convenience to have a place in the house devoted solely to medi- cine bottles and boxes Medicine cab inets can be bought, but they are some what expensive for modest purses. A very satisfactory cabinet can be made with little skill, at slight expense.
 Get carpenter to make a long box of pine, of whitewood, or walnut if you choose. Have it about eight inches wide and six deep; the length must depend somewhat on the place where it is to be set up, but from twentyfour to thirty inches will be right. Stain or paint it to match the woodwork of the room in which it will be placed Then fasten small framed mirror, whose length is the width of the box, in the center of the open side or front of the cabinet; it can be hung to a small brass rod that passes across the upper side of the front. On the same rod hang curtains of plain stuff on either side of this mirror panel. Danish cloth in some shade of

PINE BLUEF, HRkHNSHS.

Unan any man or ms geueramon, zur- nishes a curious example of what Tyn- dall called the scientific use of the inn agination Bessemer, like Siemens and Thomas, who share with him the honors of modern iron metallurgy, was not practical worker in the metals, but, unlike them, he was absolutely ignorant of aught beyond superficial chemical knowledge. When he grasped the conception of burning out the inn purities of pig metal by the oxidizing power of air, and thus reducing the eX- cessively carburized material to the malleable state, he knew nothing of the traditions and science of the prob- lem he was daring enough to attack. Had he been an adept, it is more than probable that he would have been so imprisoned by the past as never to have reached out so daringly into the unknown. He began his experiments secretly in q small way, after having visited numerous iron works to make himself acquainted with existing pro eesses. It was not until the end of eighteen months that the fundamental principle of his great future success became perfectly clear to him-=that of rendering cast-iron malleable by q powerful air r-blast blown throughout the charge, and not merely on the top as in the old finery and the pudding furnace.
 The heat developed was so great as to keep even wrought iron fused, and the happy inventor found by and by that he had succeeded in making iron in small quantities. 1t cannot be re- lated here how he fought through the early difficulties of his work, and how the iron masters of the age were alike astonished and delighted at his pri- mary results. The shock to the in- ventor was scarcely less great when he discovered that in making iron ill large quantities his process did not answer all his anticipations His earlier sue cesses had been with pig iron smelted from high-grade ores, comparatively free from sulphur or phosphorus. The attempt to work the process conner cially involved the use of the common pig, which made up the bulk of the smelting material. The intense heat of the furnace burned out the carbon and the silicon, but left the phosphorus and sulphur, untouched This might have been remedied by using pure pigs containing but traces of these ele. ments; but graver defect attended the process In many of the operations the ingot had no consistency; it crumbled under the hammer or in the rolls. In the language of the shop, it was rotten. The process, which, with in a month of it's first public announce. ment at the Cheltenham meeting of the British association in 1856, had brought to its discoverer the sum of twenty-seven thousand pounds sterling in advance license fees, was now con- demned by scientists and practical men as visionary scheme. - Harper's Mag azine
