A sTEED OF THE SEA.

bare. stands in the PROV of the boat
as it is pushed from the shore. He
watches intently. and presently he
sees one of the big turtles taking a
nap on the clear white sand of the bot
tom. He dives quickly, and, swimming
down from behind, seizes the turtle
firmly by its shell. OF course the turtle
wakes up and, like bucling broncho,
begins to dash and plunge wildly about,
seeking to throw its plucky rider, Not
succeeding in this, it darts quickly to
the surface, where the boy gets his
first breath. Then down again it goes
tearing through the water and beat
ing the foam with its fippers. But its
rider never let's 90 for a moment, and
presently the great turtle grows eX-
hausted, and the boy, by lifting on the
front end of the Shell forces it to the
boat where it is quickly loaded aboard
and taken away to market. 1t is great
sport and the boys enjoy it as much
as our western boys like lively young
pony to ride.-Chicago Record.

METHODS OF VENTILATION.

through the other chimney, and the air
rushing down one and up the other car
ries the smoke from the match along
with it. The reason the air does this
is because the heat of the candle flame
expands the air in the one chimney and
forces it upward. The atmosphere, in
order to even matters, supplies more by
way Of the only channel left open to it.
Now, a coal mine is freed from its
foul air and new fresh air is drawn into
it in exactly the same way. The en-
trance to some mines are comparative
ly small, when the large excavations
beneath the surface are taken into con-
sideration. The air in the mine easily
becomes foul, and soon becomes unfit
for human beings to breathe if some
ventilation is not secured. 1t is only
necessary to have two shafts and to
build a fire at the entrance of one of
them in order to secure the desired re-
suit If the fire is made to get its draft
down one shaft and up the other, as in
the case Of the lamp chimneys, all of the
foul air will Oe drawn out of the mine
and a corresponding quantity OF fresh
air will be drawn in. The dangers Of
explosions of fire damp will also be
averted, inasmuch as this deadly gas is
drawn out and disSipated before ii can
collect in sufficient quantity to do dam
age. OF course there are mechanical
contrivances for drawing bad air out
of mines, but they are not more efficient
than a simple furnace at the entrance
of shaft. y striking example of the
value of a fire for the purpose of getting
rid of foul odors is afforded in jail in
New Castle, Del. 1t seems that the
Jail was built over sewer which
emptied into the river near by. The
odor from the sewer filled the jail and
made it a very unhealthy place to live
in. The nuisance was abated by build
ing a furnace and smokestack in one
corner of the jail yard. A hole led down
from the furnace to the sewer pipe.
| When the fire was lighted the bad air
in the pipe was drawn up by the fire
and sent out of the stack many feet
above the Jail.
Something of this same nature takes
place when a storm occurs on hot day.
The air in a certain spot becomes heat
cd, and in expanding is forced upward,
drawing with it a certain amount of
moist air from the neighborhood sur
rounding the heated spot. The mois-
ture in this air rapidly condenses when
it reaches the cooler strata above, and,
turning to water, descends to the earth

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
TURNING AND GRINDING.

We have our little fallings-out and argu-
ments and such,
And then we make it up again; they don't
amount to much.
But on one subject, anyhow, we're all of
the same mind;
We all of us don't want 20 turn, and all do
want to grind.
I've heard about a grindstone Of a labor
saving kind
1t only takes one person to turn it and to
grind
You work treadle with your foot, the
same as mother sews,
And a fellow don't mind turning when he's
grinding, l suppose.
that we're asleep,
But moneys scarce and hard to get, and
bow-greaSe is cheap
Where there's half a dozen elbows that are
half the time in sight,
Though mother puts on patches, reckon,
every night
Boys" father said, the other day, "ore
thing you've got to learn,
We can't all do the grinding, for somebody
must turn.
or course ia like you all to be as smart as
folks are made,
But it isn't very likely that you win be,
I'm afraid!
"And there's very few so stupid that they
really couldn't earn
Themselves an honest living, if they'd just
agree to turn.
BY all means try for grinding. but own it if
you find
That you can do the turning, but amt
smart enough TO grind"
When father talks, he says It, He likes to
think things out.
] see him smiling, sometimes at the things
he thinks about.
When he comes in from the plow-field, he
don't tell you how he aches,
He tells you something queer he's seen, OF
birds, or beasts, or snakes
It's only in the winters we have time to &c
to school,
But we dig at it, I tell you, and 1 hope I'm
not a fool.
And the thing we talk the most about, the
thing we hope to Uo,
In a race that's free to every one, is what
I'm coming to.
Well keep our eyes wide open; if We're only
fit to turn.
that's the one we'll learn.
But think how mother and father'd feel, II
they should one day find
That every single son they had was smart
enough to grind!

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and the flesh is used for
food. AS these birds live in the same
region as the tiger, peacocll-hunting is
a very dangerous sport. The long train
of the peacock is not its tail, as many
suppose, but is composed of feathers
which grow out just above the tail,
and are called the tail-coverts. Pea
cocks have been known for many hun
bred years. They are mentioned in the
Bible. job mentions them, and they are
mentioned too in | Kings, 10. Hundreds
of years ago in Rome many thousand
peacocksw killed for the great feasta
which the emperors made. The brains
of the peacock were considered great
treat, and many had to be killed for u
single feast.-St. Nicholas.

Two Partisan ladies have taken to
tanning butterflies. \ gentleman. re-
turned from Asia, brought the young
ladies rare specimens, as souvenirs Of
his trip, and then they set to collect
ing these little creatures. Each lady
has about 80 in her collection, and it is
marvellous how tame they are. Upon
the entrance of their mistress. they
fly to greet her, perching upon her
shoulders, head and hands. The wav
they were trained was by feeding them
with honey from the finger tips. They
have been serviceable as studies for all
kinds of art work, and they have shown
themselves very susceptible to tho
charm of music. This opens a new

Equal to the Emergency.

An Irishman who was out of work
went on board a vessel that was in the
harbor and asked the captain if he could
find him work on the ship.

time handing the Irishman a piece Of
rope, IF you can find three ends to that
rope you shall have some work"

the rope, and, showing it to the cap

CURIOSlTIES OF DRAFT.
How Fire Purifses Air and the Way
Mines Arc Ventilated.

Mines Arc Ventilated.
A curious piece of apparatus used by
Prof. John f. Woodruff, of the New
York teachers college, to illustrate the
principle of ventilation consists Of two
lamp chimneys, a tallow candle and the
lid of a pasteboard box. The box lid
has two holes cut in it few inches
apart. The holes are a tritie bigger
than the tallow candle. The candle
stands in one hole, the lamp chimneys
stand one over each hole. The object
is to show how the draft of any burning
substance can be made to get rid of un-
pleasant odors, foul air, etc. The candle
is lighted and burns in the chimney
which incloses it. If a lighted match is
/ held at the mouth of the other chimney
! the smoke from it will Immediately flow
down the tube and up the chimney in
which the candle is burning. This is
because the lighted candle gets its draft

SichtIess woman Fnrmer.

There lives in Oak Hill, Tex, blind
girl who has from few acres of land,
cultivated by herself, cleared about 5000
each season for several years by the
growing and sale of vegetables. She
began with no capital and an unfenced
piece of uncultiVated land. There is
now a neat fence about her domain, a
well and pump in the center, and she
has, in addition to purchasing these,
paid for piano and hack to take her
vegetables to the market, which is
90 miles from her home. Every
evening during the dry season she wa

she has gone over the entire piece,
