Since in myself I feel no change, That in the friends whose love I hold, I see a something day by day That daily plainer setms to say. The friends you love are growing old. A deepening of the lines.of care, A tiny wrinkle here and there, I see ; a silvering of the gold, A shadow underneath the brows Besprinkled now with powdered snows, - "Where clustered dusky locks of old. With sober gladness they rejoice. More mellow grown each merry voice, Each smile less bright, less cold ; Still cherished friends as ever we. Hand claspeth hand more tenderly - As days go by and we grow old. As we grow old ! ah I this is strange ! I said I felt in me no change, Yet plain as these my words have told Upon my beard faint streaks of gray Say silently to me to-day, Thou, with thy friends, art growing old 1 Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald. There are plenty of mechanics in high places as well as in low ones, who, by being close mouthed.openeared and in dustrious.get both cash and credit for skill and for knowledge when in fact they have very little of either. Such is the value of dignity and the appearance of seriousness to a man, that one who possesses these qualities is always respected compara tively beyond his actual merits,or perhaps, after, all, it is the fact that an expert man who gives bis superiors the idea that be is not in earnest is always rated below his deserts.

They come from every part of the Moham medan world, and they study Mussulman law, history, theology and other branches needed to confirm them in the laith ot Mohammed.

A Queer Pacific Coast Lake. One of the natural curiosities in Klikitat county is Lone Lake, which lies in a butte or mound in the Simcoe foot hills six miles northwest of this city. The butte looks as though the top had caved in, as the trees are lying dead all over the bottom and years ago were growing whore the lake now lies. This lake cannot be seen until one reaches tne summit of the butte, as it is circular in form and surrounded by a wall or bank of earth which is covered with trees. The bank itself is more than 100 feet high. The early settlers tell of cutting hay on the ground which this body oi water now covers a good many years ago. There is no doubt the waters are steadily rising, trees have been covered, have fallen, and now lie..giwly decay injjbe neath the waters,, -If is fairly possible that the lake will one day fill the entire cavity in the butte and overflow the banks. A few years ago the lake was stocked with carp, and its waters are fairly alive with them now. Last season a great many catfish were put into the lake. They will thrive there and soon exterminate the other fish. The lake affords excellent boating, and is becoming a pleasure resort. Goldendale Sentinel.' How it Feels "When Drowning. On Sunday of last week, John Turner, a white man, while bathing in Mr. John Richardson's fish pond, at the head of Waxhaw Creek, with L. L., L. B. and J. W. lyncher, experienced the sensation of drowning, without suffering in full the consequences. He became strangled ana sank three times to the bottom. Mis companions thought he was only diving, until the third time, when they noticed that he stayed under too long, and began to fish for him. After some time they succeeded in getting him out, and he was perfectly black and as limber as a rag. It was 15 minutes before any perceptible breathing was noticed and three hours before he regained consciousness. In reply to the question as to how he felt when drowning, he said "It felt good." Monroe Enquirer. Better than Oil. Oil has hitherto been the only material that has been successfully employed for breaking the force of the waves. An in genious inventor while crossing the Gulf Stream observed that the vast fields ot floating seaweed, though upheaved by the swell always remained glassy and smooth, and this suggested to him the idea of a device for lessening the force of the waves. The invention consists of a thin cotton or silken net rendered non submer sible by being dipped in a special chemi cal composition. The device is being ex perimented with, by the Paris Society for saving of life in shipwrecks, and It has been found to act as a wave dispeller in the same manner as the seaweed in the Gulf Stream. 52F The smallest pony in the world recently arrived in the world on the fam ous Shetland pony farm of the Marquis of .Londonderry, on the island ot Uressay. It is a little colt foal that weighed but sixteen pounds and was only nineteen and a half inches high at its birth. It is a perfectly healthy, well-formed animal. The great object of the breeders of Shet land ponies is to keep down the size of the animals. The price increases in inverse ratio to size. This is partly from fancy and fashion and partly because the smaller the ponies the better fitted for working in the seams of coal in the mines where they find their chief use fulness. ST" Few are aware that the human body falls asleep by degrees. A French physiologist conceives that the sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell, next that of hearing and lastly that of touch. When cotton thread was first made, 840 yards of it weighed one pound nence it is numner one. A pound con. taining twice that number of yards is number two, and so on. tT There is but one official in the United States who has a legal title to be called "honorable."

Recently I had brought under my notice, says a writer in the London Illus tratod News, a new invention, which I think should bo made widely known in view of the sanitary benefits likely to accrue from its use. I refer to the braided wire pillows, mattresses, and like articles which, I understand, are being introduced into this country by an American firm. The pillows I saw and examined aro made of braided wire ; they are perfectly resilient, accommodate themselves . to every movement, and are of course, always cool. The chief point to which public attention should be directed, I think, is the possibility of such an inven tion superseding the ordinary stuffed pillows and cushions, which, with the lapse of time, become . loaded with dust and germs, saturated with perspiration, and demand what they seldom get thorough disinfection and cleansing. Do we ever think ot the amount of dust and microbes which the stuffed cushions of a theater, church, hall, or other public place absorb, with no speedy prospect, as tar as 1 can judge, ot cleansing and renewal t If managers and others would only fit their seats with the braided wire cushions I saw, not only would they be much more comfortable, but, what is more to the point, much more healthy. Railway carriage seats, too, get, in course of time, most uncomfortable, as every traveler knows. Fitted with the wire cushions and wire padding, railway seats (and tbose of carriages as well) would be always shapely and practically indestruc tible. Cultivation and Soil Moisture. ' Yery numerous experiments have been recorded to show that moisture is saved by cultivation. During this hot, dry weather every foot of plowed land should be kept well stirred on the surface with any tool which tends to keep it from bak ing. A loose, fine surface will hold down water like a wet blanket. A field kept thus may give an increase in crop over one not cultivated equal to that produced by a heavy application of fertilizers. Preserva tion of the soil water thus becomes of great importance. A blanket of fine soil on the burface during a hot, dry week can be ot great value to the crop and really become the turning point for profit if present when loss might result from its absence. Frank E. Emery, N. C. Ex- periment Station. IStf" Barrels and cask sare now success fully turned out direct from the tree that is, without the wood having to be cut up into numerous staves. By this method, which is known as the Oncken system, the tree stem is first sawn into lengths to suit that of the cask to be made, and these lengths are boiled for about three hours,- in a closed vessel, which renders the wood soft, a current of electri city being also passed through the water during the boiling process. The log is taken from the boiler to the cutting machine in which it is fixed as in a lathe, and brought up against a long, broad cutting blade the log is revolved, the knife automatically approaches it, and the sheet of wood passes out to the rear of the machine through an opening in the frame just at the edge of the blade, as in a plane. The sheet of wood is drawn from the machine on to a table, where it is cut into lengths suitable for the diameter of the barrel ; the lengths are taken to a grooving machine, and grooved near the edges for receiving the head and bottom of the cask ; the wood is now put into another machine, which cuts long, nar row, V-pieces, or gussets, out of the edges at intervals, which give the necessary double taper to the cask. The sheets of wood are finally formed up into a cylinder, and the first two hoops driven on by the machine, there being thus only one stave in the cask, and, consequently, only one joint. The sheets ot wood can receive any degree ot thinness. JV. Y. oun. S& xnere lives in uaK Hill, Texas a blind girl who has, from a few acres of land, cultivated by herself, cleared about $200 each season for several years by the growing and sale ot vegetables. She began with no capital on the unfenced piece of uncultivated land. There is now a neat fence about her domain, a well and pump in the centre, and she has, in addition to purchasing these, paid for a piano, and a hack to take her vegetables to the raarket.which is twenty miles from her home. Every evening during the dry season she waters a certain number of plants until she has gone over the entire piece, when she begins again and goes over it in the same way. Insect life she detects from her acute sense of hearing, and grass and weeds are easily distin guished from plants by the senstive fingers of the blind gardener. 83PMany tons of beeswax are imported to this city from tropical and sub-tropical parts of this continent and from Spam. Much of this comes from Cuba, where a tropical vegetation supports and employs an enormous number of bees. Much o the uuoan wax comes in great masses shaped like the frustum of apyramid,and weighing lrom 65 to 70 pounds each. In spite of the fact that various substitutes for wax have been discovered, it is stil used in great quantities in the manufac ture of candles.especially for ecclesiastica use. Much of it, too, is used In the manu facture of wax lay figures, not only for museums and the like, but for milliners and mantua makers. B3f When a lady once asked Turner, the celebrated English painter, what his secret was, he replied, "I have no secret madam, but hard work." This is a secret that many never learn, and don t succeed because they don't learn it. Labor is the genius that changes the world from ngli ness to beauty, and the greatest curse to a great blessing. Idgf It was tho policy of a good old man to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world. This delightful home feeling is one of the choicest gifts a parent can bestow. df We each have a to sweep clean. door of our own Treatment of Rheumatism, It seems as if every body is complaining of rheumatism nowadays, young and old, rich and poor. Science, every ready with something new to alleviate the sufferings of mankind.has not failed in this direction, and salol is now the remedy extensively used for rheumatism. The Medical Times and Register says: "Therapeutically the anodyne property of salol is exhibited in the cases that are rheumatic in source." The first triumphs of salol were won in the treatment ot acute' rheumatism, excelling, as it apparently does, all other remedies in its power to abate and lesson fever. If all the conditions be propitious, bv the end of the second and third day fever and joint pain and swelling will have disappeared. Salol has a further usein that it is antiseptic, and excellent results have been obtained from it when used as a disinfectant for the bowels in case of cholera, typhoid fever.etc. In connection with the cure of rheumatism, it may be stated that of late years massage treat ment has found great favor with rheu matic patients. In practicing massage, the nngers are usually moistened with some sort of oily preparation, and for this purpose nothing better can be used than anoline. Many physicians consider this vastly preferable to vaseline,or any other preparation, and its use has invariably been attended with the greatest success. mm . Fall of an Enormous Aerolite. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says : What is believed to be the largest aerolite ever known to have fallen is lying in the Caspian Sea, a short distance from tho peninsula of Apsheron. The aerolite made a terrific noise as it rushed through the air, and the whitehot mass made a ight that illuminated the country and sea round about for a great distance. When struck the water immense clouds of steam arose,and the hissing could be heard I . j- . tt n ior a great uistance. n.uge masses oi water were thrown upward, and the sight to those who were not frightened was an exceedingly beautiful one. So enormous is the aerolite that it projects twelve feet above the water, and, save for its fused black crust, which gives it the appearance of having been varnished, it has every appearance of being one of the usual rock formations met with along the coast. Scientists are deeply interested in the phenomenon, and several of them are making preparations to visit the peninsula to examine the aerolite. Further infor mation is needed before credence can be given to the above. JBSyThe brain of Laura Bridgman, the famous woman who lived her allotted years devoid of sight, hearing, speech, smell, and taste, taken sometime ago to Clark University, Massachusetts, for examina tion, has just told its story. The result of the investigation proves that the pe culiarities were due solely to arrested de velopment in the portion relating to the disused senses. Up to the time of the girl's illness, when she was two years old the brain developed normally. After that, it grew unevenly. The weight was but slightly less than that of the entirely normal brain. Both hemispheres were developed alike. The extent ot the gray matter of the cortex (which receives and imparts sensations) was, if in any way unusual somewhat less than in the av erage brain. All ot the affected cranial or brain nerves were small, and the re gions of the cortex associated with the defective senses and with motor, or ar ticulate tongue speech, were poorly or peculiarly developed. The most striking and conclusive feature, however, was the condition of the parts connected with the nerves ot sight. T he right eye remained useful to a slight extent sometime longer than the left. This resulted in develop. ing that portion of the brain connected with the right eye to a greater extent than that connected with the left eye This is sufficient proof in itself that the development depends upon the use of the organ. Boston tost. . iW Though the legend of William Tell has been officially declared a fable by tne bwiss Government, it is one of those fables that people will go on telling and believing. In the story, as given in Schiller's drama, Tell is the hero of the Swiss revoit for independence from Am tria about the year 1800. Gessler, Austrian bailiff, placed his cap upon a pole in the market place of Altorf and issued orders that passers by should do it rever ence. This Tell would notdo, and he was arrested and sentenced to death. Gessler learning that Tell was a skillful marks man told him his life would be spared if be would shoot an apple from his eon's head. Tell made the shot without hurting tho lad, and when Gessler asked why he bad a second arrow in bis quiver, Tell re plied : "To kill you if I had harmed my son." For this Tell was again put in chains, and Gessler embarked for Kus snacht, taking Tell with him. A storm came up, and to save all hands from drowning Tell was released, in order that he might steer the boat. Having carried the boat safe through the worst of the danger, Tell sprang ashore at a point now known as 'Toll's Bock,"and,going around by land, mortally wounded Gessler with an arrow. Gessler's death was the signa for a general uprising, in which the Austrian bailiffs were driven out or killed and their castles destroyed. Tell lived for forty years after this, and was at last drowned while trying to save a boy s hie Electric Bitters This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special rien tion.

Yerv few people have a correct idea of what dynamite is, of what it is made, and the ubcb to which it Ms put. To the Frenoh belongs the honor of its discovery ' and itB practical use. , - JNuro-giycenne is the force of all high explosives. Dynamite, is tho name most usually given to these explosives, though other names are sometimes used. Dynamite is . simply nitro glycerine mixed with various ingredients. Nitro glycerine is made by mixing sulphurio and nitrio acid with sweet glycerine, the same that is used by the ladies to provent chapped hands. Mixing the acids and glycerine is where the great danger lies in the . making of nitro-glycerine. The mixing tank, or agitator, as it is called . by dynamite makers; is a large steel tank, filled inside with many coils of lead pipe, . i i-i .i : nrougn wnicn, wniie ine mixing i m progress, a constant now or ico waier is maintained. This flow of ice water is used o keep the temperature of the mix below 85, as above that point it would explode, and a hole in the ground would mark where the factory had been. The nitro-glycenne is stored in large earthen ware tanks, which are usually sunk in the ground to guard against blows or severe concussion. The other ingredients for making dynamite are: Nitrate of soda, which is ound only in Unui,carbonato ot magnesia, and wood pulp. Dynamite is put in paper shells usually . It inches in diameter and 8 inches in engtb, and weighs about one-half pound to each shell or cartridge. It has largely taken the place of black powder of blast ing, as it is many nunareas oi limes stronger, and consequently more econom ical. It is used chiefly in mining all kinds of ores, coal and rock, and sub marine blasting and railroad building. Without its aid many railroads, especially those crossing the Rocky Mountains could not have been constructed ; without it Hell Gate in New York harbor could not have been destroyed, and - without it the miner, at prices now paid for mining ores, could not earn his bread. Dynamite will not explodo from any ordinary fall or jar; it will burn without explosion, and freezes at 42, 10 above ordinary freezing point. The bomb of the Anarchist is made of metal or glass and filled with pure nitro-glycerino ar ranged o as to explode by severe contact with any hard object. These bombs are, of course, never made by a reputable dynamite factory. Jb ive or six millions ot dollars are inves ted in the manufacture of dynamite in tho United States, and its use is constantly on the increase. The fumes of nitro glycerine produce intenso headaches which can bo cured by taking a very small dose ot it internally. Detroit Free Press. Sex and Music There is no room for the contention that, as compared with the boy, the girl has not had fair playthat opportunities for cultivating the art have in her case been few, in his case many. The reverse is the truth. If there is a branch of education in which girls have been schooled to the neglect of every other, it is precisely that ot music. It is among the primary subjects to which she is put, and among the very last she is allowed to leave off. Not one hour a day, but many hours out of the twenty-four are consumed by her at the piano, to say nothing of other instruments, while singing lessons are usually given in supplement to these. It might nave been thought that it prac tice gives perfection woman would have excelled her male counterpart not only as an executant but as a composer. But what are the facts? In instrumental performance she cannot for a moment compare with him, while as to composi- tion she is nowhere. - The repertory of music from the dawn of the art to the present day owes simply nothing to her. Considering the time she has spent over it, her failure to evolve new harmonies or even new melodies is one of the most ex traordinary enigmas in the bistoty of the fane arts, it has been remarked, but never explained, by such accomplished aesthetic writers as Lady Eastlake in her celebrated essay on "Music," and by such keen psychological analysts as Mr. G. 11. Lewes in his "Life of Goethe ;" it is, in deed, a problem still awaiting solution, unless we can solve it by an appeal to such facts as Sir J.
