That have come from that good country

Aunt Maria comes a-singing, and her

Is no brighter than the sunshine that her

This was one of Lucy's dresses, the

And those tiny dots and figures were my

Oh. blessed thoughts and feelings sewed

Hawaii, played at Robinson Crusoe on

they become slaves of the broom and
dustpan. Neatness is one thing and
a state of perpetual housekeeping
quite another.
out of this grows by degrees the
feeling that certain things and apart
ments are too good for daily use.
Hence chairs and sofas are covered
and rooms shut up, save for special
occas ions, when they are permitted TO
reveal their violated sacredness in a
manner that mars every pretense OF
hospitality Nothing should be bought
which is considered too fine for the
fullest domestic appropriation. Far
better is the planest furniture on
which the children can climb than
satin and damask, which must be
viewed with reverence. When any
thing is reserved or secluded, to dis
guise the fact Is extremely difficult.

CURIOStTtES Or SOUND.
Every Noise Has Its Corresponding
Note ON the Musical Scale.

Every Noise Has Its Corresponding
Note ON the Musical Scale.
In very high or mountainous regions
sounds become diminished in loudness
SO that conversation cannot be car
ried on in an ordinary tone Of voice.
In mines or in a diving bell the re-
verse of this is the case. Speech be-
comes so startling that it must be car
ried on in whispers to- be at all en-
durable to the ear. Sounds Of all
kinds become musical if the vibrations
of air are uniform and rapid enough.
1t is said that the puffs of an engine
would make tremendous organ peal
of music if they could be made to at
tain the rapidity of fifty or sixty a sec
ond. Everything in nature has its key
note, as it were, and attuned to one
particular musical sound. This fact
can be very easily verified IN everyday
life. Stand near an open piano and
speak in an ordinary tone. While
speaking you will suddenly hear a
string within reverherate to your voice.
The tick of a watch, the sound of ev-
cry human voice, the bark of a dog,
the new of cat, the noise of wagon,
the roll of thunder, the fall of rain,
the running of water--in fact, every
thing about us can easily be placed by
an attentive ear on its proper musical
note, one of the sounds of the scale.
This is a most interesting experiment
and easily verified.
1t is said that the ear can distin-
guish eleven octaves of sound; but, as
rule, those made by quick, short vi
brations are more easily conveyed.
For instance, the whir of a locust
makes a more distinct impression than
the signing of the wind through the
trees. A whirlwind in it's approach is
noiseless. 1t is only when it strikes
some obstacle that the volume of sound
becomes terrific to us. Then we re-
ceive the secondary shorter waves from
the destruction of this obstacle. Tyn-
dali says all friction is rhythmic.
Flames are VIGOROUSLY sensitive to
sound. They will bend and flicker and
even respond with leap of quivering
light to high, shrill sound. This is
another interesting experiment. If we
use a glass tube with a small jet of
gas, by lowering or raising it to GER
tain points we can cause it to shrek
out sl1rilly or to answer sympathetical-
ly to It's own keynote when sung or
spoken by the voice.
If we could only hear the roll of the
vast oceans in harmony all around us
in our everyday life, we could say
with truth, indeed, what the poet only
imagined:
thou beholdest but in its orbit like an
angel sings, still quiring to the young
eyed cherubim. "-Baltimor American.

A man leaped from a car in the ele-
waited station, ran at the swinging
doors and butted them open with his
suit case and tore down through the
passenger shoot into the Union depot.
He took the stairway in few jumps,
nearly knocked down several men as
he rushed through the waiting room
and reached the platform in time to see
the rear end of his train disappearing
around the curve at Bluff street Then
he halted, the suit case dropped to the
floor, he took off his hat, wiped his
forehead and began to swear loudly.
Just then one of the depot passen-
ger directors stepped up to him and
said:
"We have u man to do that, SIR
"To do what?"
''To do the swearing for people who
miss trains. There's so much of it to
do here that we've hired an old switch
man to do the swearing for 'em all"
The man locked for minute as if he
would fight. But he said nothing He
quietly picked up his suit case and
walked back into the depot Kansas
