Household Conversation.

Professor Giddings, of Columbia COL
lege, in thoughtful article in Good
Housekeeping, calls attention to some
defects in home training which partially
explain certain educational deficiencies
in young people for which the schools
and colleges have been blamed. Speak
ing of the relation between the culture
of the home and that which may be OBJ
tanned at college, he says that young
man or woman who goes to college from
an ambitious but uncultivated family.
in whose home the great events of his
tory and the great creations of literature
are never talked about in a familiar
way, will seldom attain to the highest
scholarship and will rarely master all
the niceties of the English language.
The boy or girl who has always heard
his native tongue spoken correctly and
musically and who can associate all that
is most beautiful 10 literature with the
tones of his mothers voice starts with
an advantage which no subsequent col
lege training can furnish. Here is an
incentive for parents to discuss worthy
themes in household conversation.--Ad-

FACTS OF SCIENCE.

IAN English photographer" says the
Medical News, "who sent out picture
of foot showing an embedded needle,
received a telegram from a customer
saying: 'Photograms received; very
tame. Send more sensational ones, such
as interior of backbone, brains, liver,
kidneys, heart. lungs, etc.
"a new glass globe called the Holo.
phane. for diffusing the rays from in
tense lights, is being introduced in Eng
land" says the Engineering and Mining
journal. at is intended particularly
for use with arc lights and incandescent
gas-lights as a substitute for ground
glass and opal glass, which are used at
present. The globe is made of perfectly
clear glass and it has two series of ridges
on its surface. one set verticle round
the inside, the other set horizontal round
the outside. The orb of light thus pro-
duced is very pleasant to the eye, while
the amount of illumination is undimin-
ished."
The breeding of cells is a mystery. No
body ever saw any of their eggs. The an
clients used to have notion that cells
we're developed from horse hair. An
other theory was that they were the pro.
geny of a kind of beetle. 1t is now
known that they must spawn in the
ocean. Ee.s put into land-locked ponds
do not breed; they must go to the sea in
order to propagate their species.
Investigations of very interesting
character are now in progress at Colum-
bia College relative to the variations of
latitude. They are prosecuted by Pro
fessors Reese and Jacoby, in conjunction
with the Royal Observatory at Naples.
AS the Columbia Observatory, which
was the first building to be erected on
the new uptown site, and that at Naples
have almost the same latitude and differ
about ninety degrees in longitude, they
offer unusually favorable conditions
for concurrent observations. Professor
Reese says that the evidence of the var
iations of latitude il over whelming, but
they are SO small that only the refined
instruments of the present day have
been able TO discover them.

STRENGTHENING THE MEMORY
Shelley

How to strengthen the memory is an
interesting question. / think the best
way is to use it constantly, making it
serve you by giving it definite facts and
events to carry, as pack-horse might on
journey. There are many phases of
the problem, some people finding that
they cannot fix dates in their minds,
others forgetting the faces and names of
friends, and others still having great
trouble in committing anything by rote.
Devices of rhymes and associations help
some persons, and others simply depend
on memorada. and do not tax theiI
memories at all. AS a rule, the more we
give the memory to do, however, the
more quickly and faithfully it will re-
spond to our wishes. In little children
memory is very retentive, because their
minds are at the stage when Impressions
are easily made; you know the line which
says that in childhood our minds are
"Wax to receive, and marble to retain"
So that we should be very careful indeed
about what me say, what we do. and
what we teach, where the dear little
ones are concerned.
Some girls have a great deal of trouble
in remembering the rules of syntax, the
Latin conjugations, and the pages of his
tory which her teacher requires to be
recited exactly as they are in the book.
Try the methed of studying aloud. Go
away by yourself to commit your lessons
to memory. and then, over and over,
slowly, carefully, with your mind and
attention fixed on what you are doing,
read phrases, sentences and formulas,
over and over, and over. and by-andby
you will have them by heart. l have
often done this when l have wished to
learn hymn or poem. and know that
hearing what one is studying assists the
mere seeing. Then having other people
in the room talking and laughing, is
very distracting to the attention. Try
my method, and report results.-Har-
per's Round Table.

PROF. LANGLEY'S FLYING MA.
CHINE.

Prof. Samuel P. Langley, secretary of
the Smithsonian Institute at Washing
ton and one of the leading scientists of
the country, has for years been a be-
lever in the eventful practical use of
air vehicles and has devoted much time
to the study of the problem of aerial
navigation. For the past three years he
has been making experiments with
near Occoquan, Va, which were con.
Quoted with secrecy, but on the 9th ult.
there we're two successful voyages of
Prof. Langley's airship. or aerodrome as
he calls it, which were witnessed by
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell. the we'll
known electrical inventor. who was con.
vinced by the two trials that the time is
not far distant when freight and pas
sengers will be carried through the air
from one point to another. In an inter
view with representative of the Wash
ington Post, Prof. Bell said;
Last Wednesday l witnessed a very
remarkable experiment with Professor
Langley's aerodrome on the Potomac
River. Indeed it seemed to me that
the experiment was of such historical
importance that it should be made pub
lie. The aerodrome, or flying machine"
in question was of steel, driven by a
steam engine. 1t resembles an enor-
nous bird, soaring in the air with ex
treme regularity in large curves, sweep
ing steadily upward in spiral path, the
spirals with diameter of perhaps 100
yards, until it reached a height of about
100 feet in the air. at the end of course
of about half mile, when the steam
gave out, the propellers which moved it
stopped, and then, to my further sur
prise, the whole machine. instead of
tumbling down. settled as slowly and
gracefully as it is possible for any bird
to do, touched the water without any
damage, and was Immediately picked
out and ready to be tried again. A sec
ond trial was like the first, except that

A GRACEFUL ACT.

1t came under my own eye-this pic
ture that l am about to show you. A
lady and gentleman entered car and
sat down, talking pleasantly together
The former had in her hand a small bou.
quet of lovely flowers, sweet peas hello
trope, pinks, etc., which she seemed to
enjoy very much. The car passed on
and presently stopped at another eta.
tion. Among the passengers who got on
at this station were two who attracted
some attention, middle aged man and
feeble, white haired old lady. They
belonged evidently to the respectable
poor, although they were neatly dressed
The man gently led the old lady to a
seat by the window, and tried his best
to make her comfortable, Her bonnet
was taken off. and little scarf tied
loosely over her head took its place.
The lady opposite was interested at
once in the sick woman.
Pity shone in her eyes as she saw the
sorrowful white face grow whiter-the
poor invalid getting faint from the heat
and closeness of the car. The middle
aged man-her son-put the window up,
80 that the breeze could fan the sick wo.
mans cheeks, and then arranged small
pillow on the back of the seat for the
weary old head. AS he was about to sit
down. the lady across the aisle remarked
in low voice:
IL am sorry she is so sick. l wish
could do something for her,"
And he answered in almost whisper,
"Thank you. She's had stroke of par.
alysis, and is very weak but" There
was no more said, his heart and voice
were full.
please give her these"
The flowers were passed over, and put
into the frail, pale hands. The tired
eyes opened and saw the sweet gift, and
then closed again. Presently, while the
eyes were still closed. the pale hand
lifted them up to the pale face, then they
were put down again; but they had COM
forted. After awhile the weary eyes
opened, and the flowers we're looked at
and smelled of again and again.
The husband of the lady across the
aisle said very quietly:
why, my dear, l thought you wanted
those flowers to wear?'
IL did," she whispered, "but l do not
want them now. See how they comfort
her. r."-Christidn Work.

the machine went in different direc-
ton, moving in one continuous gentle
ascent as it swung around in circles like
great soaring bird. At one time it
seemed to be in danger, as its course
carried it over a neighboring wooded
promontory, but apprehension was i'm
mediately allayed as it passed 25 or
thirty feet above the tops Of the highest
trees there, and. ascending still further,
its steam finally gave out again, and it
settled into the waters of the river, not
quite quarter of mile from the point
at which it arose. No one could have
witnessed these experiments without be-
ing convinced that the practicability of
mechanical fight has been demons
trated.
The Langley aerodrome has no gas to
lift it. as in the case of balloon, but on
the contrary is about 1000 times heav-
ier than the air which sustains it and
on which it is made to run, somewhat in
the way that thin ice supports a swift
skater. The power is derived from a
steam engine through the means of pro-
pellers, but owing to the scale on which
the actual aerodrome is built, there has
been no condensing apparatus to use
the water over and over again. Enough
water can be carried for only a brief
fight, but this is difficulty which does
not belong to machines larger than the
one with which the recent experiments
were made and in which the supporting
surfaces we're only about IA feet from
tip to tip. In the two trials the distance
flown each time was about one-half mile,
and it travelled at the rate of little more
than 20 miles an hour. but the speed of
the machine depends on whether it is
going up hill, as it were, or flying on a
level.-NeaC Orleans States.

Earning Pin Money.

If girl is fond of her needle, she may
keep dainty piece of work on hand-a
centre piece. or bureau scarf, or dolly
or two, and embroider these as she has
opportunity, gradually becoming so ex-
pert and deft that her needle produces
exquisite effects. like those of painters
brush. Such work is saleable, and there
are always people who will order it for
holiday or birthday gifts, or for their
contributions to fairs. You must not
hope to sell what you do in this line un-
less it is really excellent work, but if you
are skilled you will be able to reap some
profit from your labor. Many girls earn
their money for charity in this way. l
know one who trims the family hats and
bonnets, and so earns Easter and Christ
mas money for the poor and for her
gifts.
Among pleasant methods of earning
money l must mention the device of
Marion, the sixteen-year old daughter
of friend. who pays her little salary
for keeping a set of books for him.
There is. in this case, particular &C
count which the father wishes to keep
separate from all others, and Marion,
who has studied book keeping. has
charge of this, her father willingly re
munerating her for her time. When a
girls parents are able to pay her for
some work which she does at home she
is to be congratulated Hopper s

AGRICULTURE.

be careful not to use brine from the
beef barrel in curing pork; no matter
how thoroughly it has been boiled. it
will surely taint it. Pork will not keep
IN a barrel which has once kept beef,
though this rule does not work the other
way. as beef will keep we'll in a pork
barrel.
Ii given. the chance. horse, COW or
hog will lick up the ashes in a burnt
over district of forest; something in the
ashes satisfies natural craving of ami
mails. Mixed with charcoal and little
salt, it should be constantly kept near
swine. There is, therefore, more than
one useful purpose to which wood ashes
can be put on the farm.
Stirring the soil in warm weather
makes it warmer by admitting the out.
side air. 1t also stimulates decomposi
tion of any vegetable matter the soil
contains, and thus directly adds to the
available supply of fertility. Unless
the cultivator is kept busy, manure
makes the weeds grow as we'll as the
crop.
1t does not pay to cultivate during
wet weather, for after being once or
twice transplanted the weeds get tena-
city of life which makes it almost i'm
possible to kill them. Use the cultiva-
tor only while the sun is shining so that
the weeds uprooted may wilt and perish
at once.
When preparing the wheat ground ar
range to let it lie for some days after
working down fine and firm, SO that the
weeds will start, and then tear it up
with cultivator or cutaway harrow and
kill them. If this can be done two or
three times it will help greatly in the
future.
Do not lay by the potatoes nor corn
too soon. Keep on with shallow tillage.
You are then making plant food avail
able for the wheat which follows, helping
the present crop little if you do not go
too deep, and keeping the weeds down.
Even cut off the late stray weeds in the
potato patch, to keep them from going
to seed.
