How to Tell Iron From Steel.

A scientist in pointing out some Of
the most practicable data in testing
iron and steel lays down a simple rule
to start with-namely, that in any case
where a fracture of iron gives long,
silky fibers of leaden hue the fibers
cohering and twisting together before
breaking, it may be considered a tough,
soft iron. Further, a medium, even
grain, mixed with fibers, is a good
sign, while q short and blackish fiber
indicates badly refined iron, very
fine grain also denoting a hard and
steely iron, which is apt to be cold
short and hard to work with the file.
Again, coarse grain, with a brilliant
crystallized fracture and yellow or
brown spots, denotes brittle iron,
cold-short, working easily when heat
ed and welding we'll.
Nitric acid will produce black spot
on steel-the darker the spot the hard
er the steel-while iron, on the con-
trary, remains bright if touched with
that acid. Good steel in its soft state
has curved fracture and a uniform
gray luster, but in its hard state a
dull, silvery, uniform white. Again
good steel will bear white heat with
out falling to pieces and will crumble
under the hammer at bright heat
while at a middling heat it may be
drawn out under the hammer to q fine
point.

The Three Meal Habit.

Our three meal habit is a fearful
tax on our working capacity. 1t trebles
the temptation to overeating. Our
champions stagger under the weight of
a physiological handicap One-half of
the functional energy of the system is
diverted by the exigencies of digestion.
No other hygienic mistake has done so
much to make us a generation of dys-
peptics as the custom of after dinner
work. It's victims, moreover, incur the
risk of contracting that form of moral
dyspepsia called pessimism. 1t tends
to rob the working day of its reward.
Success.

Arago,a Dilemma.

Arago, the great French scientist,
dreaded nothing more than. seeming
ridiculous. He was careful of his dig
nifty even with his most intimate
friends.
Eugene de Mirecourt gives an anus
ing account in his Portraits ct Sill
houettes du XIX Steele" of Arago's
modification at having to share a
room with his friend NJ. Quetelet, di-
rector of the Brussels observatory.
They were at Louvain. When it APP
peared that the best accommodation
that could be given them was one
room with two beds, Arago seemed
much disturbed. When they went to
the room, he paced the floor inpatient
ly, while the Belgian astronomer
watched him in establishment.
Finally Arago seemed to form des-
perate resolution. He exclaimed, "I
ought to tell you, my dear friend, that
it is impossible for me to sleep unless
l have on my head cotton nightcapv'
Faith, that is my own habit" re-
piled M. Quetelet. "Many persons COW
er their heads so when they go to
bed"
''Do you think so?'' said Arago with
sigh of relief. "But that is not all
When 1 sleep, snore."
"Ah, so do l. make as much noise
as pipe organ" returned the Belgian.
"Oh, well, then, that is different"
said Arago, much consoled. "Let us
go to bed"

each man for himself, with the thought
steel his heart and nerve his hand and
direct his aim. The Indians were not
all unready. Their arms were at hand,
and very quickly they realized that the
white men had braved even the bliz-
card to seek revenge and were upon
them. In tumult Of yells and hasty
orders the chiefs sprang to repel the
attack. In a moment all was a corner
of hell-shout and curse and dying
yell, continuous crack of rifle and re-
volver, screech of squaw, bark of dog
and crash of falling tepee as some
headlong trooper charged madly into
1t. Over it all, round it all, the deadly
wind shrieked and the snow fell I'M
ceasingly.
In the midst of it, right in the center
of the camp, two men came crash to-
gether and in that instant recognized
each other. In neithers mind was even
that charge the uppermost thing. With
a sudden mutual curse their rage was
let loose. Healy extended his arm and
fired, not two yards from his old COM
rade. Old Fin, the farrier, gave a ter
rible scream, and Healy saw him drop.
But even in falling the veteran sought
revenge, and his pistol was discharged.
The corporal felt sting in his side,
the noise all suddenly ceased, and he
also dropped inanimate from his horse.

hospital the old campaigner came out
of the fever, out of the delirium, weeks
after the fight on the Snake river. The
doctor was with him and a stiff1y up

Alcohol and TobnccO,

According to the London Lancet,
when evil effects ensue from smoking
tobacco they are very much intensi-
fed by indulgence in alcohol. Pyri-
dine, the chief poisonous constituent of
tobacco smoke, is not so easily soluble
in water as in alcohol. Pyridine bases
can be easily traced in the mouth of
an immoderate smoker and especially
the smoker of cigars. An alcoholic
drink is, therefore, calculated quickly
to wash out this poisonous oil and to
carry it into the stomach.

to have died, you know. Take this and
go to sleep, and don't bother about the
widow you've been raving over for two
weeks. A man of your age ought to
know better. Never mind, if you'll
keep quiet, you can go to see her, who
ever she is, before very long,"
They left the veteran alone in semi
darkness, but the drink the doctor gave
him did not send him to sleep. He lay
thinking, thinking, thinking, until at
last, with shuddering horror, he had
the facts clear in his mind. The wild
ow? He shrank from the thought Of
her. She was but a woman he had
known for little while, whom he had
gone crazy over like any young fool,
and-and for love of her he had be-
come murderer. A murderer! Poor
old Fin! Good old Finl Fin had nursed
him after the fever in the Bad Lands.
Could any widow have done it more
carefully? Fin and he had held off a
band of Ogallalas all one afternoon in
rife pit until help came, and Fin had
risked his scalp twice that day to get

What spectncIes Have Dome.

Eyeglasses are commonly ground
with equal conveXity on both sides.
The material for. their manufacture is
both glass and kind of stone called
Brazilian pebble. 1t is really a rock
crystal of very fine quality and does
not resemble pebble in any particu-
lar. Spectacles have alleviated more
misery than all other human agencies
because there is no sorrow equal to
that caused by impaired sight.
