A SLEEPING POWER.

Is 1t Telepathy, Instinct or WhatE-
Ought to DO Cultivated.
Within us is power sleeping. Once
in awhile some sensitive soul has felt
it stir, but there was no known law that
governed it, no logic with which to con-
vince others of it's being; so it was
buried deep in the inner consciousness,
where hide ideas that dare not seek
light because they are in advance Of
their age, says the New Science Review
LCng ago, at the house of friend, I
saw q photograph Of mans head. AS
l picked it up there came over me a
sense of having known the original; it
was the face of friend" When my
hostess entered I asked about the pho
tograph and she told me who 1t was.
The name meant nothing to me but the
face meant all things that I knew.
Several times in the next week looked
at the photograph, always with the
same sense of having known" Then
eight years elapsed, during which no
memory of that face came over me.
| One day at the theater there flashed
over me that same curious sense Of
having known" Instinctively I
turned and caught full the glance of the
original of the photograph. What he
was doing there have never found out.
Several miles away from me lived a
friend Days would elapse without out
meeting but if sat down and wrote her
a note she would come, always crossing
the note. became so certain about it
after awhile that I would write the note
and tear it up. The thought would stir
in her the desire to see me. There was
no use in mailing 1t. The sight of a
certain handwriting would always make
my heart sink; 1t was something that
could not reason myself out of, yet the
letters were pleasing and the words
fair. One dark day found out that
my instinct was right trust it now.

Early London Housemaids.

When dawn begins, you SEQ the house
maids in London kneoling on doorsteps,
with scrubbing brush and pail, all down
a street, leaving a fresh whitened step to
BIO dirtiod by footmnrks of another day.
To my mind they manage this business
better In America, where it is lone with n
long handled Implement which savos the
servant from having to &c down upon her
Knees, often in the wet. Our custom some
times creates a special malady from which
sho suffers. Tho housemaid's kneo Is a

THE CONVENIENCE OF ECONOMY.
fIcch Frcttine and No Little Time Saved
by Thriftincss.

Poverty is no disgrace. but it Is very
inconvenicnt," runs tho New England
proVcrb, and the Inconvenience of not hay-
ing little nccessaricS at hand Is q constant
sourcco OIL worry to the average housckecpcr.
NC ainount OF money will keep n kitchen
OF ootdoir supplied with what is needed
unless thoughtfulness he constantly exer-
ciscd, and this thoughtfulness, joined to
thrlftlnoss, is ono of the best lubricators
OF household wheels.
for instance, for some reason known
only to tho mysterious which decree tho
rules of tradc, jugs arc always sold with
out corks, and grocors consider n wad of
newspaper, or, Mt best, straw paper. an OK
ccllent substitute, especially for molassos.
NOW, IN every kitchen corks arc tolcrably
plohtifui, when not wanted, and IL they
arc washed and saved, not by being thrown
INTO u drawcr along with soap and candles,
puI IN Il covered box, they would DO acccs-
siblc. q fow might be used for kocnino
empty bottles FREQ from dust.

quently thrown into tho fro or ash barrel.
whereas If they were carefully folded and
III odd moments cut into dish papors. cro-
quettes and similar dishes would not be
SO oIten sent to table without being prop
efly drained. The clean bags should BIO
saved ior sending out OF the house, for GER
AIN articles can BIO packed in them much
moro easily than in loose paper.
Largo envelopes, such as arc used for
valentines and Christmas cards, are not
easy to procure, yet they arc, MS a rule,
cast aside, even when unsoiled, and tho
lack OF thom at certain times is q source
or much Inconvenience. A hint for those
who cannon get just what they want is to
cut two envelopes in half and slip ono over
tho other. FASTING thom securely, and at a
point to make the combination tho re-
CURED size.
Cardboard such as comes on the back of
memorandum pads, and, as q rule, is
thrown into tho waste paper basket, is an
other article difficult to got just when it is
wanted, yet it does not take up much room
In ones desk, nor do rubber bands, pro-
vided thoy are slipped into n little box
such as tho druggists use for powders or
tho jewellers for small purchases.
Mothers do not ncod to BIO told to. save
buttons of all kinds, but possibly some of
them may not think to cut up old trousers
and jackets that arc too ragged to give

The First Calliope.
N w.

On the 4th of July, 1856, tho first CALI
ope, or steam organ" made It's debut at
Worcester, Mass. II was invented by n
m~achinist of that city named Joshua c.
Stoddard, who is said to have toiled most
of the time night and day for over q year
in reducing the harsh screech of escaping
steam through the bell whistles so that
they finally became trained musical notes.
The foundation of the machine was laid
and al the details, from inception to COM
pletion, were carried out in the machine
shops of Wood s. Light, the proprietors
aiding tho young inventor in every possible
manner When tho Worcester papers an
nounced that "Stoddnrd's gigantic music
al novelty" had been completed, every
body in Massachusetts,, it appeared, was
anxious to get IA look at the machine and
hear it blow q hurricane of music.
AT last tho city authorities took the
matter in hand and hired the curious con-
trivanco for use on independence day.
Tho great musical machine was accord
ingly loaded III u special train and taken
to Providence. The operator did himself
and the calliopo great credit during tho
journey, Keeping up Il constant roar OF
music from the beginning to tho II of
tho trip, thus giving those along tho route
u chance to hear if not to see tho new
wonder.

The longest speech on record is believed
to havo been that mado by Mr.. Dc Cosmus

Do Cosmns was in "a minority. The

tho close of tho season or session. Unless
action was taken before noon of q giyon
day tho act would fail.

began aspeech against the bill. Its friends
supposed no would be done by l O'Clock.
AT g O'Clock he was saying, Elm the sec
