Concrete work Taught i'm schools.

Concrete Work Taught i'm Schools.
Farm Life: Colin Campbell tells us
that Wentworth institute, in Boston,
has added concrete construction to it's
list of technical courses. We cannot
see any reason why consolidated rural
schools, and country high schools,
should not do the, same thing. Wherever
manual training and agriculture are
taught, it would be simple to introduce
the elements of concrete work There
is hardly a farm in the land where
more concrete is not needed, and where
1T might not be cheaply laid. The walks
and steps, troughs, wallows, posts. we'll
covers, poultry houses, cfsterns foun-
dattons, basement floors, etc. may all
be made easily of concrete. The small
est amount of instruction in school will
give the average boy some good ideas
of this work, and it might be of greater
practical value to him in proportion to
the amount of time spent in study, than
some other things that require more eff
fort. 1t is the kind OF work, too, that
would readily appeal to a boy and to
the boys father. :

CromWell's Way.

In the days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector of England there
was no fine discrimination to favor
members of an embassy. When such
members committed crimes against the
law Of the land they were held to the
same accountability as though they
had been natives. So it was that on
July 10, 1853, Don Pantale0n Sa. q
Portuguese nObleman. brother Of the
ambassador from that country to Eng
land and knight Of Malta, was be-
headed on Tower hill. He had killed
an Englishman. mistaking him for an
other. The Portuguese took refuge
with his brother. the ambassador. who
claimed that by the law Of nations bis
house was an inviOlable sanctuary for
all his countrymen. Cromwell sent .
messenger to state that If the criminal
was not given up to the civil authori-
ties the soldiers would he withdrawn
from guarding the embassy and the
mob left to do as It pleased. Every
effort was made by the Portuguese and
other ambassadors to save Don Panta.

USEFUL GLYCERIN

Glycerin has many useful proper
ties, according to the New York Sun.
1t will cleanse a cut and cause it to
heal quickly. In washing clothes,
where softness is imperative in water,
the addition of three tablespoonsfuls
to an ordinary tub of water will prove
effective. When it is necessary to
boil clothes, two tablespoonfuls in the
wash boiler will produce good results.
A little glycerin applied with a
flannel on shoes that have become
hardened by wetting softens the
leather, which will absorb if over
night. One tablespoonful Of glycerin
to each pound Of fruit in preserves
prevents the formation Of q sugary
crystal on the top. In stewing fruit,
fresh or evaporated, two tablespoon
fuls glycerin to each pound Of fruit,
a pinch of salt and less sugar make
a useful addition.
And, finally, glycerin softens scrub
bing water, whitens wood, and is good
for the hands.

To Make Copper Oxide.

An excellent way to make copper
oxide for use in batteries is as follows:
Take quantity Of copper filings or
fine copper shavings and heat them in
cast iron container or in a crucible
till they are red hot. Stir them with
an iron rod, and while still stirring
sprinkle a little water over the filings
until they become ocher red. You will
then have good quality of copper
oxide
Copper oxide plates may he made as
follows: Mix the granulated or coarse
copper oxide with 5 per cent or 10 per
cent Of magnesium chloride and heat
the heavy mass in forms made Of iron
sheeting. the forms being Of the size
Of the wanted plate. The more
chloride Of magnesium used the more
porous the plates will be. The coarser
the copper oxide the better will be the

dagger. in allusion to the prickles, a
drawback from which the Alexandra
Day rose is free. Unfortunately for
this explanation, the flower bears a
similar name in countries where it will
not apply. The Germans, for instance,
have "Hundsrose." and Pliny tells how
a Roman mother was moved In dream
to send some roots Of the wild rose to
her soldier son in Spain. They arrived
just after he had been bitten by mad

Thaekerax at Oxford.

An old story of Oxford and Thackeray
is recalled by Thomas Plowman. who
vouches in the COrnhill Magazine for
the accuracy Of his version. Thackeray
had to apply to the vice chancellor for
permission to lecture and found that
gentleman ignorant alike Of his name
and fame.
Still, he had trump card left. which
he had been accustomed to consider
would carry all before it wherever the
English language was spoken. So, with
Il quiet smile Of supreme confidence, he
simply calculated, "'Vanity Fair you
know" Then at last. to his relief, a
look Of awakened intelligence mani
tested itself upon the vice chancellOr's
countenance. and Thackeray awaited
the effusive outburst which would
make amends for all. 1t came in the
words, Yes, yes. l have heard of
Vanity Fair of course; it is mentioned
in the Pilgrims Progress - West
