THE WIND HARP.

Across each end of the box and on top
fasten a Stat of oak or some other very
hard wood, quarter of IN inch wide.
In one of these Stats drive seven fiat
headed tacl,s equidistant from each
other, and in the other Stat fix the same
number of twisting screws, such as are
used on banjos. From these stretch
your strings, which should be all of the
same size and of catgut. The &c" gui-
tar string will be found the best for this
purpose. Now tune all the strings in
unison, and the harp is completed. 1t
is, however, we'll to add a reflector to
throw out the sound. This is easily ac-
complished by placing thin board
above the box, supporting it on sticks
fitting into rests, which are glued in
the corners of the box. The reflector
also answers as shield to prevent in
jury to the harp.
Place the harp in current of air, as
upon the sill OF half open widow. The
sound produced by the wind passing
over the strings as it rises and falls is
of drowsy, lulling character and eX-
tremely melodious.-N. Y. Recorder.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

I'm Salvador genuine revival in
matters Of public instruction seems to
have taken place. Mixed schools on the
American plan have been established
in many places.
"A large number of hymns and other
poems in Charles Wesley's handwriting
were recently found in pine Of old
documents at the Wesleyan Conference
Office in London. Many of the poems
are political and relate to the American
revolution.
That the Lords supper ought to be
real meal, and not a sham supper of
crumbs of bread and drops of wine, was
the radical proposition put before his
congregation by Rev. /. M. Gibson, of
Plattsburg, Mo-, a few days ago. And
it is stated that many of the congrega-
ton are heartily in favor of the innova-
ton.
The largest gift ever made to an ed
ucational institution by man during
his lifetime, with the one exception of
the $40, 100000 with which the late Sena-
tor Leland Stanford endowed the Lee
land Stanford, Jr., university, has been
presented by Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller
to the University of Chicago. His last
contribution of 81 100000 raises the sum
total of his gifts to that university to
81. 900 900.

Grass Paving Blocks,

A new industry has recently been
started in Norfolk. 1t is a plant for
the manufacture of paving blocks out
of fibers of grass growing on salt water
marshes. The grass is subjected to a
heavy pressure, and large square blocks
come out of the press, when three
circular saws take hold of the block
and cut it into smaller blocks about
5R inches thick provided lengthwise
with strong wire. These blocks are
then subjected to bath in three differ
ent tanks of different kinds of oils,
which makes the fiber supple. The
Manufacturers Record is authority for
the statement that these blocks have
been tested for paving purposes in
Philadelphia for over year on one
of the busiest streets near the stock
yards, and have, it is said, stood the
test remarkably well. They make a
smooth, noiseless pavement, on which
it is claimed horses cannot slip. Large
contracts for these paving blocks have
been secured in Pittsburgh and New
York. This plant, as now established,
turns out about 400 or 500 yards per
day of this paving, and the owners ex-
pect soon to enlarge it considerably.
Thus one more industry for the south
eStablished.-St. Louis Republic.

SMOKING HORSES.
How Indians Manage to Secure Mounts
When They Contemplate War.

How Indians Manage to Secure Mounts
When They Contemplate War.
A curious method Of obtaining horses
is practiced by some of the Indian
tribes. 1t is called on the plains "smok-
ing horses" If tribe decides to send
out war party, the first thing to be
thought of is whether there are enough
horses at hand to mount the warriors.
If, as is often the case, the horses of
the tribe have been stolen by other In
dams, they decide to ''smoke" enough
horses for present needs and to steal
a supply from their enemies at the first
opportunity. When this decision is
reached runner is dispatched to the
nearest friendly tribe with the mes
sage that on certain day they will be
visited by number of young men,
forming war party from his tribe,
who require horses. On the appointed
day the warriors appear, stripped to the
waist. They march silently to the viii
lage of their friends, seat themselves in
a circle, light their pipes and begin to
smoke, at the same time making their
wishes known in sort of droning
chant.
Presently there is seen far out on the
plain a band of horsemen riding gayly
caparisoned steeds fully equipped for
war. These horsemen dash up to the
village and wheel about the band of
beggars sitting on the ground, in cir
Giles which constantly grow smaller, I'M
til, at last, they are as close as they can
get to the smokers without riding over
them. Then each rider selects the man
to whom he intends to present his pony,
and as he rides around, singing and
yelling, he lashes the bare back of the
man he has selected with the heavy
rawhide whip until the blood is seen to
trickle down. If one of the smokers
should finch under the blows, he would
not get his horse, but would be sent
home on foot and in disgrace.
At last when the horsemen think
their friends have been made to pay
enough in suffering for their ponies,
each dismounts, places the bride in the
hand of the smoker he has selected, and
at the same time hands him the whip,
saying:
Here, beggar, is a pony for you to
ride, for which have left my mark
After all the ponies have been pre-
sented the "beggars" are invited to a
grand feast, during which they are
treated with every consideration by
their hosts, who also load them with
food sufficient for their homeward jour-
ney. The braves depart with full stom-
achs and smarting Backs, but happy in
the possession of their ponies and in an
ticipation of the time when their
friends shall be in distress and shall
come to smoke horses with them

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
LITTLE HINES.

One day little acorn dropped
Down from its native tree,
And helpless lay upon the earth.
A tiny thing to see.
And looking up in sad surprise
To where 1t once did grow
1t said: Ills over now with mel
What can an acorn do?"
But Mother Earth, to comfort It,
Spoke softly, as II lay,
And turning Ger. II fell asleep,
Its sorrow soothed away
Then gently DER it's liz tie ped
She spread quilt Of mold.
And there it slept through autumn rains
And SHOWS of winter celd.
But when the sun with cheering rays
Told of the warm, bright spring,
And Nature said to Mother Earth:
Come; now your treasures bringPS
The acorn heard the flowers talk,
And ope'd it's eyes to see,
And stretching out, 1t cracked its shell,
And grew into tree.
There, sheltered in the forest shade.
In stately pride to stani,
A noble oak-as grand tree
AS grows in all the land!
Oh, children! heed these little things,
Whatever they may BE-;
Remember-little boys make men!
An acorn makes a tree.
