The intrinsic value of mahogany for any. work where nicety of detail and ele gance of finish are required exceeds that of any other known wood. Cherry also finds much favor on account of its pleas ing effect with some builders, but it soon grows dull and dingy. Oak, . which up to a few months ago was considjred the most fashionable wood, is( very attractive when first finished, but. experience has taught most people that it does not take long to change all this, and instead of a light, picturesque interior, one that has a dusty, damp appearance is seen, that no amount of scraping, refinishing, and var nishing will restore to its original beauty. Ash, which is apt to present a handsome appearance at first, especially when utilized for interior decoration, is more apt to present a rusty appearance than oak. The causes that are so damaging to most other woods seem to bring out the better qualities of mahogany, which grows richer with age. Of a light tone at first, it becomes doeper and more beau tiful with use, and although it may cost a little more at first, yet, considering the ength of time it lasts, the expense is not, comparatively, as large as other woods whioh cost far less money, but that do not last nearly so long. What makes the wood even more valuable is the lact that unlike cherry, ash, or oak, it is very easily cleaned, because it is impervious o dust and dirt, and while it does not how wear, it grows brighter and richer, nstead of growing duller. It is pleas ng to the eye, a source of beauty, and a oy as long as it is in the house. The Builders' Gazette. SPECIAL REDUCTIONS.

These will hundred years, said Voltaire, Christianity begin to show themselves ten days before I a rain.; At tho end of each tubercle is a I pore which opens when the rain comes, to absorb and draw in vthe moisture. In other snails deep indentations, beginning at the bead between tho horns and end ing with the jointure of the toil, appear a few days before a storm. Every farmer knows when swallows fly low that rain is coming; sailors, when the sea-gulls fly toward the land, when the stormy petrel appears, or "Mother Carey's chickens' as they are called, predict foul weather. Take the ants; have you never noticed the activity they display before a storm hurry, scurry, rushing hither and yon, as if they were letter carriers making six trips a day, or expressmen behind-time? Dogs grow sleepy and dull, and like to lie before a fire as rain approaches; chickens pick up pebbles, fowls roll in the dust, flies sting and bite more ; viciously, frogs croak more clamorously, gnats as semble under trees, and horses display restlessness. When you see a swan flying against the wind, spiders crowding on the wall, toads, coming out of their holes in unusual numbers of an evening, worms, slugsj and snails appearing, robin red breasts pecking at our windows, pigeons coming to the dovecote earlier than usual, peacocks squalling at night;' mice squeaking, or geese washing, you can put them down as rain signs. .Nearly all the animals have some way of tellinsr the I weather in advance. It may be that the altered condition of the atmosphere with regard to electricity, which generally accompanies changes of weather, makes them feel disagreeable or pleasant, lhe fact that a cat licks herself before a storm is urged by some naturalists as proof of the special influences of electricity. Man is not so sensitive. Yet many feel list- ess before a storm, to say nothing of aggravated headaches, toothaches, rheu matic pains, and last, but not least, corns. Cincinnati Enquirer . Percentages. Wo havp several times sailed attention to the crude notions which many persons entertain on the subject of "percentages." Not a day passes on which wo do not re ceive a question from some correspondent showinsr his ignorance either as to the meaning of the words or their application to the case he cites. Per centum is good iatin for "on the hundred," . and f per centage" is the rate thus reckoned, that is, the allowanco in duty, commission, or whatever it may be on the one, hundred. A discount of 20 per cent, on a bill takes off twenty cents on every 1UU cents, or twenty dollars on every hundred dollars, Most people understand the reckoning as far as that, but they become involved in a puzzle, or make an erroneous calculation the moment they attempt to reverse it. Thus deducting 20 per cent, from a bill of $100 leaves $80 as the net sum. isut ad ding 20 per cent, to $80 does not bring it up to $100, and this iff the point where so many are muddled.' It a pole is twenty feet long take off half and it is left at ten feet. It a pole is ten leet long adding a half only leaves it at fifteen feet. That is to say, 50 per cent, of twenty is ten, but 50. per cent, of ten is only five. We have now before us halt a dozen US nail UUZ.CU I Hvo.- .....6 vuv & profit" on given mercontile transactions. Ope illustration will serve for tho whole. A;man buys some goods at oU cents a yard and sells them for one dollar. This is one ot the statements, and the question ib, "What is the percentage of profit r It would seem as it any intelligent man ought to be able to see that the question is incomD ete. ne nront on tne price at which the goods were sold is 20 per cent.; the profit on the cost of the goods is 25 per cent. That is if the percentage is to be reckoned on the dollar it is ZU ; ir it is to be reckoned on the eighty cents it is 25. We have at several times the last few years tried to make this plain to our readers, but. a largo number even ot mer chants in good standing do not seem to comprehend it. N. Y.

It is hardy and is readily grown, but seldom doei at all. well in far northern latitudes. 1 In the vicinity of Philadelphia we have seen a, tree of this 1 variety- that produced annually about forty : or fifty bushels of fine, marketable nuts. In Vir ginia and States in similar latitude it should be made to pay handsomely. Its widespread habits or growth make it necessary to give it -plenty-, of room, and we should say- that forty- feet ; each way, rather than lesa, should be accorded, the intervening space being utilized with ash trees. The wood could no doubt be used in many ways, and the Teason it has not been is from the fact that there has never been enough of"t toenter into any of the calculations of those who use valua ble wood in . manufacture. - Its greatest value as a tree consists in its nuts, which are second only to almonds in commercial value. A well set grove of these trees would be a handsome sight. Philadelphia Ledger. ' - .Smoking Made Harmless. $ 'Very few smokers realize the extent of the harm done to the mouth,'' heart and nerves by tobacco;"; said a well' known physician of this city, who has just re turned from the Berlin medical congress. "When I was in Europe I learned of a simple and effective method of rendering tobacco ; entirely Harmless without de stroying its i aroma. The method was discovered by Dr. tiantrelet, of Vichy, and : it should ' be regarded as a priceless boon to smokers. It consists of a small rwf orH in niir OAtlnn ivnnl ttaanoH I in o five or a ten ' Cent solution ot t)vrora lies acid inserted in the pipe or cigar : holder. This will neutralize any possible ill effects of the nicotine. In this way not only the generally admitted evils of smoking will be overcome, but cirrhosis of the liver, which is sometimes caused by-' tobacco, and much lighter penalties' of overindul gence, such as headache and furring Of the tongue, may be avoided. Citric acid, which was recommended by Vigier for the same purpose,' has the' serious disad vantage of spoiling the taste of the to bacco. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Speed of a Horse. !

SiUcvorms. ; . . , According to the American Druggist, a discovery ; has been made by a lady at Columbia, S..C, that may have a marked' effect upon two great industries. For a number ot -Beasons this lady has amused herself by feeding silkworms and sending a few pounds of cocoons to the i Women's Society for the Encouragement of the Silk Industry- In Philadelphia. The ex. I traordinary warmth of last winter caused the eggs to hatch far' in-'advance of tho Season, and as the young leaves of the mulberry and the Osage orange had not put forth, our amateur was at a loss what to do.- Seeing that the foliage ot the ramie in a neighboring field was putting out .' she - gathered some and- put. the worms ': upon it. - They ted ravenously, and she kept up the supply until the Osage orange leaves appeared. Then she divided her worms one Bet with ramie, the Other orange j Sbo kept the COCOOnS separate and sent them to Philadelphia. ' The ex .I ti-;ij .mi I perts there were astonished at tho size of those spun oy the ramie eaters, ana wrote to the lady to know what she had done to secure them. - They were not only larger, but the silk was finer. If farther experiments should prove' that ramie leaves can be depended on tor silk worm food, then a great impetus will be given to the production of this valuable article in the South, while it will add to the profits of those who raise that plant fbritshber. ' - - ' . : Remarkable Language. , The Rev. Dr. Park hurst used this very remarkable language in the course of a sermon last Sunday at the - Madison Square Presbyterian Church : . i V it is as much a ; Uhristian s duty to love ' his country as his God. "To an American the Stars and Stripes ought to be as much ot' his actual religion as the Sermon on the Mount. It is as mueh the nutv of a New York Christian' to ea to the polls on election day as lor him. to go to the Liord s table on communion day. ' ;od l.I The command of Jesus is to love with the whole heart, and your neighbor as yourself. : Therefore, love for mankind no uiomisu vu.oM.i .dcuwuxgum But patriotism is a restriction of that sentiment to a man's own country; and for that reason the extreme Socialists, Whose underlying doctrine of communism ia - DorroweaiiTrora- unrisvs teacnings, whole world, ' and not merely of their own particular country. i Great as are the Stars and Stripes, and glorious beyond measure, is a Christian' preacher justified in calling them as much a part ot religion as the sermon on the Mount, in which is contained; the very kernel - and epitome of Christianity ? They are' lor time: but does not JJr. i'ark hurst believe that the words oil Jesus are for eternity, ' for the endless ages, when the symbols of-earthly power shall have passed: into nothingness ? 2V. 5iF7 At Scranton's rail mill, Scranton, Pa beginning with cold pig iron; 1,800 men turn out one finished steel rail every sixteen seconds.
