1t has been said that Henry Clay
achieved success so easily that he quite
misunderstood others and overestimat-
ed himself. He vs.s eager to learn the
best way to do whatever be had to do.
In THE True Henry Clay" the author
gives an instance of this:
AT fourteen Henry became clerk in
a store in Richmond. whittier the fam
lily had removed. Stories are told OF
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store
keeper for wasting SO much twine-
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces togeth-
er. Again it was explained that using
this sort Of twine might be offensive
to the customers. as it made the pack
ages look untidy by reason of SO many
knots. SO he consulted with sailor
at Richmond, who showed him how to
splice strings with smooth joint.
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces Of twine OF
the same size into continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this, he
was so much pleased that he had all
twine saved, and turned the task OF
splicing it over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enthus
iasm rapidly abated.

4 DEP BORING.

Half Mile Well.
In 1857 for some reason 1t was
thought profitable aud possible to Sc
sure an artesian well In the State
House yard. The geology OF Ohio rs
a science was still unwritten. In fact,
the first volume OF the Ohio Geological
Reports contains tie written record of
this boring.
Down 2ITa feet-over half n mile
the auger was sent by the slow and
laborious process OF the time, and
nearly . yesr was spent In the work.
The boring ives commenced on Novem-
Der 4. 1851. and stopped October /,
1858. No artesian water was found.
he boring was made in the eastern
part OF The grounds. Its site was
pointed out to the writer some years
ago, and it IS now probably covered by
the cement walk extending out TO
Third street from the Judiciary build
ing. Water was struck ana plenty OF

etc, but none Of It came to the top.
Professor Theodore G.. Wormley, the
professor of chemistry Il Startling
Medical College, embraced the oppor-
tunity to secure the te nperature Of
this deep boring. With thcrmome-
ter placed in speciality prepared iron
case, and left at the bottom OF the
boring tweniy-four hours, he found the
temperature at the bottom 10 be SS
degrees Fahrenheit. Making de-
ductions for the distance below the
surface at which the heat OF the sun
ceases to be felt. he compuTed that the
temperature increased one degree for
every seventy-one feet Of descent. At
that time E-ropean scientists who
were carefully studying this branch of
physical geography had esti mated that
the temperature increased in such con-
ditions on. degree for every sixty-six
feet.

WOMAN
A Scientist Gives His Views Of TIL,
Fair Sex. N

| ocientist divee HIS views OF the
Fair Sex. ~
DR.. Bernard Hollander OF the Eth.
biological Society is too learned a schol-
ar to say that he understands woman,
but in a recent lecture on the interest
ing subject the other day he said much
that was acute and sympathetic, and
that shows that he has at least OBJ
served, even If he does not understand
well. the sex that, as he says, ''is not
mentally inferior to man, but only dis
similar" Woman, he says. is often
gifted by nature, but she rarely has
the strength Of impulse to exert her
powers, that characterizes man. If
she had, there is no reason why she
should not equal man, or even excel
him. This is proved frequently at
difficult examinations where the most
brilliant students are often women.
The lecturer traced the scientific
bearing of the points he advanced, and
occasionally generalIzed upon the
vexed questions of womans character
and capabilities as whole; as Ii the
following passage:
| "A woman loves extremes. A man
may like or dislike person or object,
a woman loves or hates it. A woman
can be generous in her action, but not
always SO in her feelings. Women. as
a rule. are good conyersationalists
They love talking. Men will talk, too,
IL you give them subject, but women
can talk for hours upon nothing. Yet
her conversation, at least to men, is
not uninteresting, and, sometimes most
charming, for, unlike man, she does
not talk OF herself. She is quick to
enter into his thoughts and feelings,
and can readily identify herself with
his aims"
Then follow score of subtle con-
tracts and distinctions, such as: MAN
loves power, woman loves admiration.
A man respects. woman adores. A
man has pluck, woman fortitude. A
man has push, woman patience. Man
Is greater in conquest and achievement,
woman in self-sacrifce. Man may take
the lead, but it is the woman who
guides. Man may oppress woman, but
| 1t is woman that influences man.
Women dearly love to establish do
minion over any creature that is larger
and stronger than themselves, and n
study of history will show us how Of
ten they have obtained their way
where man is concerned. Some men
not always of the weakest sort-seem
to take real pride in submitting to
the commands and punisLments Of the
women they love"
Many women, he said. acquired cul-
ture at the expense of their emotional
nature; they starve the heart at the
expense of the intellect, till they find
themselves incapable of .ove. Not be-
ing happy themselves, how can they
make man happy? He wants repose,
and they are incapable of giving it.
Women themselves suffer most be-
cause of this universal education. the
effect of which. Mr.. Hollander de-
clared, is that it is easier to obtain
a secretary shan it is to obtain good
cook. and that, too, a. lower wages.

Marking Linen.

How many women adhere to the old
fashioned method Of marking linen
with new steel pen and marking ink ?
II is the simplest thing in the world to
mark linen with a stencil and a brush.
Each member Of the family should
have his own stencil which does not
cost much II only initials are used.
The boy or girl at school will need the
full name, which costs more. An en-
tire wardrobe may be marked in half
an hours time by meanS OF stencils,
and the danger OF the ink spreading is
reduced to minimum.

A handsome gray dress skirt had on
1t a smear Of black railroad grease,
which did not yield at all TO ordinary
cleaning. SO kerosene was used, the
wet spot being afterwards covered
with fullers' earth and left to dry, but
there remained still some of the black
stain. Again the kerosene was yigor-

see where the spot had been, and it
