A Useful Invention.

The latest invention in the way Of
improving methods for printing news
papers is n machine that will set type
by telegraph, although the operator
may be 4 thousand miles away. West
ern newspapers, who say the inventor
is young Iowan, named Frank
l'came, assert that several telegraph
companies are striving to secure the
patent rights to the invention.

A Broadening Infiuence.

Man Is social being. Sociability
is broadening and should be culti-
vated. The city and the country have,
unfortunately for both, only bowling
acquaintance. Lack Of social inter-
course, which leaves room for the
growth Of prejudice and jealousy, Is
largely responsible for this unwhole-
some cramped condition. Bad roads
are largely responsible for the slight
acquaintance that is maintained be-
tween the city and the country and
for the absence Of the sociability that
would naturally follow q closer ac'
Quaintance.

An important publication on Indian
forestry has been issued, In which
certain conclusions as to the climatic
influence of forests are set forth. The
book is entitled forestry in British
India" From a review Of this work
in Nature 1t appears that while the au-
thor does not distinctly maintain that
by increasing the acreage of forests
the climate of India might be so far
improved rs to stop the recurrence of
droughts, he 8 evidently inclined to
that opinion. "In warm climate"
he says, "the denudation Of 4 country
tllminishes Its moisture, and, conse-
quently, its fertility" The regula-
tions of surface drainage by forests
is clearly pointed out.
1t often happens, according to LEI
cvcur, "that in cleaning fowls we find
pins, bits of iron wire Oh the like, In
their gizzards. This Is the case with
fowls that have no gravel Mt their dis
posal, and arc driven by instinct to
swallow hard bodies. If a pin thus
swallowed issues from the intestine
and reaches the shell-sac at the mo-
ment when IN egg without a shell
reaches the same point, 1t will be en-
veloped in the shell and thus enclosed
in the egg. Perrauet, the famous ar.
chitcct of the eighteenth century, re-
lates q case in his memoirs. He tells
Of an egg in which q pin was found
without anything to show how 1t got
there. The pin was covered with q
thin whltish crust which made 1t look
like a frogs thigh-bone. Under this
crust the pin was black and somewhat
corroIed."

The treasures of heart and brain.

For that which brings no gain;
To labor for that which is bread alone,
And the things that pass away,
Till the heart is full of an aching void.
I wonder, does it pay?
Does it pay, I wonder to never stop
In the ceaseless rush and care,
And list t6 the songs of bird and brook,
Or wander through woodlands fair;
To never think of what lies beyond
The narrow sphere of to-day,
Till the new life dawns on our untried
