A ROYAL Gift.

It was a genuinely royal act, that Of

which were his private property. The
principal of these is the chateau OF
Laeken, situated in a suburb Of Brus.
sells. It is q splendid and convenient
royal residence, in an extensive park
that has been improved by large ex-
penditures, and with the best taste and
skill that royal resources could COM
mand during two generations. Another
is the royal seaside residence at Os-
tend, understood to have been gift
from Queen Victoria. The third is
Clergnon, q luxurious hunting lodge in
the heart Of the Ardennes. In an
nouncing his gift, the king explains
that these estates contribute to the
charm and beauty Of the localities III
which they are situated, and that ne Is
anxious lest their purpose Should oe oe'

and salubrity Of various popuious io'
calities. ."-Boston Herald.

Fighting Hawks and Crows.

In my town, which produces an
nually from 10000 to 40, chicks, q
bounty of 25 cents per head is paid
for hen and chicken hawks, writes
P. H. Wilbour of Rhode Island, in
New England Homestead. The same
sum is paid for crows per head, they
being nearly as inimical if not equally
SO to the career of the chicken. This
bounty is usually voted at the town
meeting. At times it had been loft
for the town council to afix the sum,
never to my knowledge being more
than 25 cents per head, and some
years lesser sum.
Various devices to prevent the near
approach of the above mentioned
birds are noticed about here, among
which may be mentioned the small
windmill so arranged that at each
revolution rapid and noisy clapping
is produced. Another arrangement
quito generally in vogue is to erect
long poles about the chicken yard, a
stout cord extending from pole to pole
at top, to which cord is appended
multi.colored strips of cloth. This
metLol, while it prominently adver-
tises the location of the tender NOR
sci, is supposed to intimidate its wary
foe.

How Slate Pencils Are Made.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate just as 1t is dug from
the earth, but pencils so made were OBJ
jected to on account Of the grit which
they contain, and which would scratch
the slate. To overcome this difficulty,
Col. D. NJ. Stewart, Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, devised and patented an in
genious process by which the slate Is
ground to very fine powder, all grit
and foreign substances removed, and
the powder bolted through silk cloth
In much. the same manner as flour Is
bolted. The powder is then made into
a dough, and this dough is subjected to
q very heavy hydraulic pressure, which
presses the pencil out the required
shape and diameter, but in lengths of
about three feet While yet soft the
pencils are cut into the desired lengths
and set out to dry in the open air. At
ter they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns, where
they receive the proper temper. Pen
ellis made in this manner are not only
free from all grit, and Of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut
out Of the solid slate. For these rea-
sons they have entirely superseded the
old kind.-The Manufacturer.

A Setting OF Eggs.

Most people, when ordering a setting
of eggs, ask and expect the seller to
send fifteen, and when they arrive the
entire lot is placed under one hen, re-
gardless Of her size.
Now, this Is a great mistake, and the
seller would have less complaint if he
would refuse to send more than thir-
teen, and twelve would be better.
A hen that will cover more than this
number Is too large to set, and will
break some Of the eggs during the first
few days, while the smaller hens can
not cover all of that number, and some
Of the eggs are left unprotected and
get chilled.
Hens that will weigh from four to five
pounds make the best settlers, and one
Of that size will cover not more than
eleven eggs; and I venture to say that
they will hatch out more strong,
healthy chicks than will hen that is
given from thirteen to fifteen eggs.

Myriads OF SIMS.

There is quite evident conspiracy
on the part of the telescope and cam
era to belittle this intinitesimal speck
of cosmic dust on which we live, and
they are succeeding. It was bad
enough to knock the earth out of his
position as the centre of the universe,
but now he is being relegated to q
position that, astronomically, seems
worthy of very little attention. Pro-
fessor Wadsworth of the Allegheny
observatory is now showing, on q
curved plate, a photograph of the con-
stellation Orion and adjacent region,
covering 1000 square degrees, or lit
tie patch measuring less than 33 de-
grees on q side, or about one-eleventh
of the great circle-and what do you
think? 1t shows $4,000 blazing suns.
The professor says he has only been
able to catch the light from the larger
of the suns in that Patch, and that
these planets are yet beyond the joint
power OF the two cyclops, the tele-
scope and camera

THE WORKING MAN.

He lays his hand upon the stubborn soil,
And 10! a mighty miracle Is done;
1t Slows. responsive to his touch Of toll,
Fruitful and fair beneath the golden sun.
At his behest the prairie is transformed;
He digs the desert and 1t disappears;
before his plow the wilderness Is stormed,
And leagues of corn lift up tueir splendid
spears.
Amid his sheaves he stands happy man.
Nor seeks to solve the things beyond his
ken;
Content with the An-wise. Eternal plan
OF Him who shapes the deSsinies OF men.
The sky that bends above him shows no
stars
At noon; and yet he knows the Power
Divine
That shaped the Pleiades and fashioned
Mars
In their appointed time will bid them
His hearthstone is the altar, he the priest
OF homes sweet sanctuary, day by day,
In Joy or sorrow indigsnce or feast,
Where love unsullied keeps its gently
sway.
No narrowing envy occupies his breast,
No schemes OF avarice distress his mind;
By Heaven-sent peace his simple life is hlest,
And in his tasks he bIesses all mankind.
His labor brings the harvest to the plain,
And through his brave cxertionS millions
He works the miracle that grows the grain
And all the crops that pregnant acres
give.
To him the crowded city looks for food;
From him gaunt famine fees and squaIor
hides;
His energies sustain the multitude
And where bis blessings fall pale want
subsidies.
For him the sun and stars give forth their
light;
For him the restless ocean ebbs and flows;
For him the radiant day, the peaceful night
And all things beautiful their charms dis
close.
He builds the mighty ship whose progress
The roaring tempest on the trackless sea;
His strenuous life the wheels of commerce
turns
And cleaves wider space for Liberty.
Oh! wonder-working toll! Gods gift to
man,
What blessings follow where thou art
applied
5 In strict accordance with the Masters plan,
And what disasters where thou art denied.
God bless the honest toiler, everywhere,
In mill and mine, in factory and tield!
His LIES thu aatidote for dumb despair.
His sturdy arm the Nations surest shield.
And may God keep the ,oiler free and brave,
From petty tyranny Of clique or clan.
: That seeks to dwarf his soul and to enslave
The free-born spirit of the Working Man!
John E. Barrett, in the Scranton Truth.

PERSONALLY Conducted" Pupils.

In the kindergarten child is taught
much through system which is used
to make him think that he is playing
rather than working, but those imagin-
ary devices take away the manliness
of boy who knows that work is work.
We must not teach the boy that his
teacher exists simply for his amuse-
ment. There is a great tendency to
bring mp children ''along the lines Of
least resistance. What We really
want is men of character, not those
who from childhood up have been
personally conducted" The new
education deserves all gratitude for
taking the place of wooden" teach
ing and wooden" learning, but am
afraid that the question of where the
new should stop and the old begin is
often lost sight OF. -(Address of Dean
Briggs of Harvard in Cambridge

A Nam moth Tree.

In Nassau. the capital city OF the
Bahama Islands, they say ''the tree
in the public square" not the trees.
Now, the public square of Nassau is
quite as large as that of most cities of
the size, but there is only one tree in
it, and that tree literally fills the
square-aud spreads its shade over all
the public buildings in the neighbor-
hood. For it is the largest tree in the
world at its base, although it is hardly
taller than three story house. It is
variously known as ceiba, or silk
cotton tree, but the people of the low
islands of the West Indies call it q
hurricane tree. For no matter how
hard the wind blows it cannot disturb
the mighty buttressed trunk of the
ceiba.

Poultry as a Farm Crop.

If any farmer can make his farm
pay profit of $50 per acre he will do
more than can be claimed by the ma
jority of his neighbors, and yet this
would not be too large a figure to
credit to the hens that could be placed
on an acre, and the ground could, at
the same time, be made to produce an
excellent crop of fruit, for both the
poultry and the fruit would be bene-
fted by the combination.
An acre in grass ought to give
ample forage frr at least 100 hens in
summer, and they wonld not require
an awful lot of extra food from the
barn, so the eggs would be practically
clear profit, aud if each of these hens
couldn't turn ont clear profit OF 50
cents at the eud of the summers pas
turage we are awfully mistaken. The

FACTS ABOUT PERSPIRAN0N.
A Function Almost Peculiar TO Men, Monkeys
and Horses.

A Function Almost Peculiar to Men, Monkeys
and Horses.
Precipitation is almost peculiar to
men, monkeys and horses. Horses
sweat all over the body, and 80 do
human beings, but monkeys, it Is said,
sweat only on the hands, feet and face.
The use of perspiration is mainly to
cool the body by its evaporation, al
though it Is general believed that
waste materials are also eXcreted
through the sweat glands when the ac-
tion of the kidneys is interfered With.
In animals that perspire but little, the
cooling Of the body is effected by
evaporation from the lungs, as we see
in the case Of painting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
greatly, according to the temperature
of the surrounding air, the condition OF
health, the degree Of exercise taken,
the amount Of fluids imbibed, etc. The
average amount Of perspiration Is
thought to be about two pints day,
but this is of course much Increased
In hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from
the skin Is lessened, and so one seems
to perspire more profusely than in dry
weather; but this Is only apparent, for
really Transportation is lessened when
the atmosphere Is charged with moist
ure.
Hyperhidrosis Is the medical term
used to denote an abnormal Increase IN
persplration. This increase may be
general from the entire body, or con-
fined to some particular part, as the
face, the hands or the feet. Profuse
sweating IS very common In cases OF
debility and in excessively stout er-
sons. It occurs also in connection with
rheumatism and certain nervous dis
orders. Sudden emotion may cause IN
creased persbiratlon.
The opposite condition, a great DIM
mutton or absence Of sweating (anhi-
drosis), Is mush rarer, and occurs usu-
ally in connection with some disease
of the skin. Sometimes the character
Of the secretion is changed, and cases
Of black, blue, gray, yellow or red
sweating have been described.
The treatment Of profuse perspira-
ton depends upon the cause. Tonics,
cold or cool bathing, especially salt
bathing, temperate exercise, and rub
bing Of the skin are useful in cases
dependent upon general debility or
obesity. Spraying or sponging the body
with brandy and water, vinegar and
water, or a solution Of tannin or OF
boric acid is useful.
Certain drugs which have tendency
to diminish perspiration are sometimes
employed to reduce the night sweats
of consumption, when these are so ex-
cessive as to weaken the already de-
bilitated patient and to prevent much
needed sleep.-Youth's Companion.
