A Sea Flower Deadly to Fish.

The opelet, one of the most ex-
qu1site wonders of the sea, is deadly
to fishes. 1t is about as large as a
German aster, looking indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster, with ever so many petals
of light green. glossy as satin, and
each one tipped with rose-color. These
lovely petals do not lie quietly in their
place, like those of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water,
while the opelet generally clings to a
rock. How lovely and innocent it looks
on it's rocky bed! Who would suspect
that it would eat anything grosser than
dew or sunlight? But those beautiful
waving arms, as you call them, have
other uses besides looking pretty. They
have to provide food for a large mouth,
which is hidden deep down among
them-so well hidden hat one can
scarcely find it. Well do they perform
their duty, for the instant a foolish
little fish touches one of the rosy tips
he is struck with poison as fatal to
him as lightning. He Immediately be-
comes numbed, and in a m stops
struggling; and then the other beau
tiful arms wrap themselves about him,
and he is drawn into the huge greedy
mouth, and is seen no more Then the
lovely arms unclose and wave again
in the water, looking as innocent and
harmless as though they had never
touched a fish.

Interest has recently been aroused in
the question of using pineapple fibre
as a substitute for flax, and it is
claimed by many that this material
not only possesses all the essential
characteristics of fax, but that it has
IN addition advantages of it's own. A
number OF years ago British spinners
made an attempt to use pineapple
abre, but did not meet with success,
and in Burmah also. where the plant
Is very abundant, no serious attempt
has ever been made to spin the fibre.
In the Philippines a variety of cloth
is made from pineapple fibre which is
celebrated for its fine hair-like fbres,
but the plant from which the fibre is
obtained is thought to be of a differ
ent species from the usual form. In
Singapore a test was made a few
months ago with some pineapple fibre,
and it was found to sustain $50 pounds
as compared with 260 pounds supported
by an equal amount of flax. The pine
apple fibre is said to be impervious to
moisture, and ropes made of it can be
used continuously in water without
rott1ng, and it is used in India for
threading the beads of the necklaces.
1t is claimed that in fineness and luster
the pineapple fibre is superior to flax,
and the process of bleaching is sutti-
c1ent to destroy the adhesion existing
between the bundles of fibres so as
to render them available for spinning.
1t is also believed that the fibre can be
used as a substitute for silk in mix
lures with wool and cotton, and for
such purposes as sewing-thread, twist,
trimmings, laces, and curtains it is
considered particularly suitable. The
fibre cal be obtained from both the
wild and cultivated varieties Of the
pineapple; and if textile-workers can
make use of it in spinning with n
success, there seems to be no reason
why it should not enter into a number
of manufacturing processes. However,
the outcome of numerous recent
schemes to utilize various kinds Of
fibres has been rather unsuccessful in
the majority of cases, and pineapple
fibre must undergo extensive trials
both in manufacture and actual use
before it will be used by the spinners.

Care of the Teeth,

If the proper amount of care was
bestowed upon the teeth there would
not be the complaints we hear from
day to day, the teeth would last like
any other part of the body, with only
the repairs made necessary by wear
and tear.
There is nothing better for the teeth
than precipitated chalk favored with
wintergreen, and it has the advantage
Of being cheap. Brush with this in
the morning and use only water on
the brush at night. For the rest of
the day refrain from the use of the
brush, but use a piece of dental floss
or a thin rubber band to remove par
ticles of food from between the teeth
after each meal. 1t is we'll to brush
the tongue as we'll as the teeth, as the
coating works considerable harm to
the surface of the teeth. A drop or
two of tincture of myrrh on the tooth
brush will sweeten the mouth and a
few drops in a small glass OF water
used as a gargle will take away any
faint that may remain on the breath
after the nights sleep. More harm is
done by too much brushing and too
much dentifrice than by letting the
teeth alone.
There is another caution I would
give in the care of the teeth. Do not
use much soap. It will make the teeth
feel smooth and nice, but will not re-
move discoloration. I saw an instance
of that in a splendid set of teeth in a
pretty girls mouth. She decided to
discard dentifrice for white CASTLE SOAP
and had passed through a week of that
treatment when I met her. I give you
my word she was a sight. Every one
of her good sound teeth was trimmed in
black which required the best efforts
of her dentist to restore them to any
thing like their former beauty. The
roughness Of dentifrice is necessary to
remove discoloration and used in mod
Grafton it will improve any set of teeth.

Frightening Children.

Nothing can be worse for a child
than to be frightened. The effect of
the scare it is slow to recover from;
it remains sometimes until maturity,
as is shown by many instances of NOR
bid constituencies and excessive ner-
vousness. Not infrequently fear is en-
ployed as a means of discipline. Chill
dren are controlled by being made to
believe that something terrible will
happen to them, and punished by being
shut up in dark rooms, or by being put
in places they stand in dread of. No
one without vivid memory of his child
hood can comprehend how entirely
cruel such things are. We have often
heard grown persons tell of the suf-
under like circumstances, and recount
the irreparable injury which they are
sure they then received. No parent,
no nurse, capable of alarming the
young is fitted for her position.
Children, as near as possible, should
fear, which, above everything else, is
to be feared in their education early
and late. Some interesting facts deal
ing with the fears of children have
been collected by a well-known profess
sor. He found that 1,701 children were
afraid of 6,456 things. The leading
fears were lightning and thunder,
reptiles, strangers, the dark, death,
domestic animals, water, ghosts, in
sects, rats and mice and high words.
Some of the fears were the results Of
personal experiences-that is, in a dis
trict where a great wind had wrought
a havoc the children were afraid
of it. In other cases the anal
ysis showed by what means parents
had worked upon the imaginations of
their children. In one district sixteen
poor little ones were dreading the end
of the world. The most gratifying fact
of all was that not one child had been
| frightened into obedience or good con-
duct by the fear of the devil. A CEN
fury or two ago that fear would have
led all the rest. The pleasing infer
cnce is that parents now dwell upon
affection and love to insure the good
ness Of their children, instead of ter
rorizing them with Satan's wrath.

1t was not anger that changed him of
late;
1t was not difldence made him shy;
1on branch that has blossomed above the
gate
Could guess the rlddle-and so can L.
What does it means whe the bold eyes
And the ready tongu at it's merriest
trips?
What potent influence holds in thrall
The eager heart and the burning lips?
All me! to falter before a girl
Whose shy lids never would let you
know
(Save for the lashes' wilful curb
The ~pansy-purple asleep below.
Nothing to brighten a man away
Only a cheek like a strawberry-bed;
Only a ringlet's gold astray,
And a mouth like a baby's, dewy-red.
All, baby-mouth, with you dimpled
bloom!
If but yon blossomy apple-bough
Could whisper a secret learned in the
gloom,
That deepens it's bushes even now.
No need, for the secret at last is known:
Yet so, 1 fancy it might not be
Had he not met her, by chance, alone,
There in the lane, by the apple-tree.

Recent Inventions,

Sand beaches can be formed along
the bank of streams by the use of an
Ohio mans device consisting of wooden
cribs to be filled with stone and sunk
into the water, projecting arms being
arranged at the sides to prevent the
crib from tipping over as it sinks, al
lowing the water to deposit soil and
form the beach.
Dental floss for cleaning the teeth
is easily manipulated by a new tool,
which has the floss wound on a spool,
suspended between two hollow arms,
through which it is threaded, passing
from the tip of n arm to the other,
to be drawn tight by a reel and in
serted between the teeth.
A Maryland inventor has patented an
electric switch which has no metallic
surfaces to be thrown in and out OF
contact, the ends of the wires being
barred and extended into a chamber
partially filled with mercury, so that
a turn submerges the wires in the
fluid and completes the circuit.
Two westerners have patented an
improvement in ice tongs by which
the prongs are made to grip the cake
more securely, the handle being shaped
like an inverted u, with the tong
pivoted at the ends, a sliding member
inside the handle being raised to pull
the tongs apart and release the Ice.

possible to draw isomagnetic lines, and
the magnetic force is as great as it
would be in the immediate vicinity of
the magnetic poles. The dip of the
needle ranges from forty-eight to sew
about $50 yards apart, the destinations

two places about a mile and a quarter
apart is from minus thirty-four degrees
to plus ninety-siX degrees. Nothing
near the surface to cause these al

While the legislatures Of several
states are leisurely debating bills max
ing it a misdemeanor to deface by ad-
yertising or otherwise the state or ma
tional flags, a French garrison has just
experienced the mordant of practical
application. A drunken soldier, having
insulted the French flag, was reported,
and all the troops of Toulon were
formed in hollow square on the pa
rade ground, with the flag in the mid
die. Then the general called the luck
less soldier by name. He fell out of
the ranks, marched to the flag, saluted
it and uttered a faltering apology. "It
is WE'LL was the brief comment of the
general; and ever the United States,
whose flag is defaced with such i'm
punity by it's own people, echoes
well"

No place affords a more striking
conviction of the vanity of human
hopes, than a public library; for who
can see the wall crowded on every
side by mighty volumes, the work of
laborious meditation and accurate in
uuiry, now scarcely known but by the
catalogue, and preserved only to in
crease the pomp of learning, without
considering how many hours have
bees wasted. In vain endeavors, how
often imagination has anticipated the
praises of futurity, how many statues
been wasted. In vain endeavors, how
many ideal converts have elevated
zeal, how often wit has exulted, in the
eternal infamy of his antagonists, and
dogmaticism has delighted in the
gradual advances of his authority, the
immutability of his DEGREES, and the
perpetuity of his power?

The decision of Judge Jenkins in
the Federal Circuit Court in the Cham
pion case, which involves the con-
struction of the term Estate" in acts of
congress, was a great surprise to the
government attorneys. The partic-
ular question was whether the defend
ant, by shipping lottery tickets from
California to New Mexico, violated the
federal law prohibiting lottery tick
cts from being transferred from one
state to another" Now, California is
a state, while New Mexico is still a
territory, and the curious plea was set
up that the anti-lottery statute did not
apply to territories, since it does not
mention them and speaks of states
only.

Colonizing by syndicate is a develop
ment having possibilities that the Ital-
ian government is likely to discover by
reason of it's lease to capitalists of it's
Red Sea colony of Eritrea. The lessees
agree to pay one million dollars a year,
and a royalty Oh the net profits. Other
terms OF the agreement require the
capitalists to preserve order, collect
duties and resist attacks from outsid-
ers. 1t is expected that the govern
ment and the syndicate will find the
compact profitable. What of the well
fare of the colonists? That is another
question. While government and CAPT
talists count their gains, they may
reckon their losses-in taxes.

Uses of SILK Remnants.

Of all the treasures, silk remnants
are perhaps the most useful. They
come in for that "sufficiency" of silk
blouses in possession of which even
the woman of modest pin money can
make a brave show. Let her but have
a well-cut and well-made skirt of serge
and another of black silk, and she can
vary her toilet as she pleases, besides
always looking nice.

To take a picture of your voice it is
only necessary to tie a sheet of thin,
strong paper over the tlaring end of an
old tin horn. Hold the horn with the
sheet of paper upward. Take a little
pinch of fine sand am place it in the
center of the paper. Then hold the
horn vertically above your face and
sing a note into the lower end of the
instrument. Do not blow, but sing
the note. Now lower the horn care
fully and look at the sand. You will
find that the vibrations of your voice
have scattered the pinch of sand into
a beautiful sound picture. Every note
in the musical scale will produce a
different picture, SO you may produce
a great variety of them. Some of these
pictures look like pansies, roses and
other flowers, some like snakes, and
others like flying birds; in fact, there
is no limit to the variation. The pic
