once had curious and Instructive
conversation with an engineer who had
charge of large stationary engine. 1t

true as steel could work. The man
surprised me by telling me it had been

dead or worn out, and yet it goes on as
if it were as young as ever Very
strange, sir, isn't it, that an engine
should live so much longer than
man; and it is not hard work for us
either or exposed work, for the room
is always warm and comfortable, and
the place is, of course, clean and

another of worry, and so on, but the

fate of the engine, it's long life and
continued industry, puzzled the man.

gan to break down. 1t did not puzzle
me- That engine worked a great
many hours day truly; but it was
equable in its. work; it never ran
loose; it was true in its vocation; it
was bright as a new pin, CLEAN in every
point; it was served with best but
simplest fuel food, it had its furnace
tubes clear; twas saved from friction
by having its parts properly oiled; and,
drank nothing but water. So it lived
on nearly three generations with a
good chance of living through three
more; it was allowed, in fact, to make
the most of its physical life.
Its masters did not make the most OF
their lives: they might have been
somewhat industrious, but they were
not so orderly, SO true, so steady, so
dean as they made the engine; they
had not learned so well how to find the
best food and drink for their own la.
hor as has been found for the engine;
they did not make the most of thdir
lives, and therefore they stopped but
the engine went. still merrily, on its

Suggestions for Making Tit Setting for

the Small Daughter.
If your little daughter is about to
move from the nursery into room of
her own here are few suggestions as
to it's furniture:
Have dotted Swiss curtain at the
window tied back with .forget-me-not
blue ribbons. Let the little bedstead
be painted with white enamel ana
draped with canopy of white Swiss,
though which blue silk lining should
show The bureau, which should cor
respond in size to the bed, should also
be white, and, if ones bank account
will allow it, decorated in silver.
The latest washstand for a child's
room is OF willow, painted in white,
with a deep hollow in the center
to hold the dainty bowl and
pitcher. In this room all the appoint
ments of the washstand should, be of.
white china, strewn with forget-me-i
nots. In the corner of the room nave.
. a baby .divap covered with light blue
chintz and banked with white linen
covered pillows, ornamented With
/ blue silk frill. A little willow roclxing
chair is another requirement. 1t
should be painted in white and have
the seat cushioned in light blue plush.
Cover the walls with paper which
looks like a pompadour silk. Ut may
be cream white in color striped with
lines of forget-me-nots. Have plenty
of pictures on the walls, and carpet
of blue felt on the floor, half covered
by rugs, and the small girl who owns

Other Peoples Bread.

In dreary KamchatlSa, the pine or
birch bark by ITSELF well macerated,
pounded, and baked, frequently consti-
tutes the whole of the native bread
food. Bread and butter to young
Kamchatkian is represented by dough
of pine bark spread with seal fat-not
a very appetizing combination to En-
glish notions. And not only the bark
of the pine is thus utilized for food;
the jewellers in certain parts of Siberia
cut off the young and tender shoots,
and grind them down to form their
floor. One imagines that the bread
thereform must have an unpleasantly
resinous flavor In Iceland even the
hardy pine is wanting, but the Ice
lander declares that bountiful
Providence sends him bread out of the
very stones" He scrapes lichen-
the Iceland moss-of the rocks, and
grinds it into fine flour, which serves
him both for bread and paddings, and
also as a thiclsening for his broth.
Thus, truly, has stern experience
taught him to live where most would
starve. Chambers Journal.
