A Simple Experiment TUat Shows the Upward Prefigure of Ltquids-rDescribed and IlluHtratpd So That All May Ud derntaiid. A disk of cardlniard and a lamp chimney are all that is required to show the upward pressure of liquids' Apply to the top of the glass chimney a round piece of card board, which you can hold in place by means of a string. The tube thus closed may now le plunged into a vessel filled with water. The piece of cardboard is held now by the pressure of the water upward. To, separate it from the opening it suffices to pour some water into the tule up to the DEM9NSTII ATION OK THK CPWARI) PRESSUBK OK LIQUIDS. level of the water, outside. The outer pressure exercised on the disk, as well a.s the pressure beneath, is now eqnat to the weight of a body of water having for its base the surface of the opening of the tube, its depth being the distance from the card board to the level of the water. Syringes, pumps, etc, are based upon the effects of atmospheric pressure. Bal loons rise in the air by means of the buoy ancy of gas. A balloon beinga body plunged in air, is consequently submitted to tho same laws as a ooay plunged in water. Boats float because of tne pressure of liquid, and water spurts from a fountain for the same reason. Numbered with useful applications of the principles of fluid pressure is the fol lowing; A horse was ladeu with two tubs for carrying a supply of water, and in the bottom of the tubs a. valve was fixed. When the horse entered the stream the tubs were partly immersed; the water then exercised its upward pressure, the valve opened and the tubs slowly filled. When they were nearly full the horse turned round and came out of the water. The pressure had ceased. Thus the action of the water first opened the valve and then closed it Microscopic Organisms In Cheese, j M. Adametz has lately made some re searches upon the microscopic organisms that inhabit cheese. In Rmmenthal, a soft variety of Gruyere cheese, he found in each gramme when fresh from 90,000 to 140,000 microbes. This number increases, with time. But the population of a cheese is aot everywhere distributed the same in it. The center is but moderately inhabited with respect to the exterior portion. The population of a soft cheese near the periph ery is from 3,000,000 to 5,600,000 microbes. According to the ' mean of these two figures there are as many living organisms in 3(50 grammes of such a cheese as there are people upon the earth. Curious Animalculae. Plants have their lowest representatives. called protophytes. Animals which cor respond to this class are termed protozoa, from the Greek proton, first, and zoon, ani mal. The protozoa are microscopic creat ures consisting of one or more cells and are infinitely small, thousands existing in a drop or water, iney nave no aistinc- tiou of sexes, and their generation takes place by subdivision or blending of cells. The infusoria are the highest of the pro tozoa. Their numbers are infinite, and in a drop. or water some very interesting specimens will be found. (See cut,) Thsee infusoria area jelly like substance, and some have hairy appendages with which they agitate the water aud cause a kind of current that brings them food. It is this partaking of food that serves to di- ANIMALCULE FOUND IN STAGNANT WATER. vide the lowest animal from the lowest .vegetable creations. There is no progres sive increase of development rrom tne low est plant to the highest animal. The ani mal begins by himself, as it were, like the plant," and both grow up in different direc tions. The protozoa exist upon organic substances, while the plants absorb inor ganic substances aud assimilate them. , . A New System Employed on Maps. To represent the relief of the soil in maps contour lines or curves of equal altitude and shades of the same intensity for the same level are employed. M. Eugene .Guillemin has, however, intro duced a new system on a map of I ranee designed for the Ecole Polytechnique. The usual shading is preserved, and the contour lines are added, but the latter are traced in white on the side which is sup posed to be illuminated, and in black on the side on shadow. The full value of the method of light and shade is thus brought out. '- 1 . j. Thunder Storms. Thunder storms are more immerous in low latitudes than in high, and one reason why they are less destructive in England than in some other countries is tne damp ness of the climate. Tomato Garnish for Roast Beet. Peel and skin the tomatoes, removing the seeds; lay the slices In a well buttered baking tin, with pepper, salt and a few dropsof lemon juice; lay a buttered paper over them aud cook in a moderate oven ten to fifteen minutes; then dish round the beef.

HOUSE Neat Touches In Finishing Off and Mount Ing Ornamental Needlework. The finishing touches, by which is meant the bordering, the corda, the tassels, the lining and mounting, are all important , items in decorative needlework. In finish ing off fancy work a handsome substitute for cord or frills is found in a three plait composed of many strands pf silk. 1 he ef fect is delightful . For the draw strings of opera, carriage or work bags the same plait is chosen in place of strings of ribbon or cords. Then, again, the tassels are not sewn on to the draw string; they are formed with the ends left of the silk plait; these are tied round tightly until they assume the shape of tassels. Sometimes silks of several different "colors are used for the plait; they correspond always with the em broidery j For instance, an opera hag is of terra cotta satin lined, wit h a pale shade of terra cotta cord The embroidered pattern is done in shades of gray, green and gold. The plait and tassels are of the same shades as the embroidery, but fewer are used, or.e tf deep smoke, one of pale j green and one of gold. Al)out two-thirds) of the plait is of smoke gray, which is a charming con trast to the terra cotta. iThe linings are shorter than the satin bags. They are loose lelow the drawstring, but are just sewn to the center of the! bottom of the satin. This pulls up the latter, and makes it look full and soft. This plan would not answer for ,sacks, but lit is admirable for round bottomed bags, j Narrow gold gimp is most useful to the mounter Embroidered book covers have rows of it across the back to represent the gold lines on leather bindings. Some are also edged with it. It is good, too, for hid ing the sewings which is j necessary when covering caskets and boxes with embroid ered satin or velvet. Table covers of ori ental fabrics, serge or embroidered mate rials often need but the Simplest edging. A reversed vandyked finish is made of crewels or silks just an outlined Vandyke, say, of blue, with one line of gold up the center. Another method of finishing off the edge of the material is to work five or seven deep buttonhole stitches not very close together, then to leave a space of half an inch or so, then repeat the stitches. Gauze Fans and Grate Screen. The artistic arrangement in our cut rep resents a hanging panel that may be used as a grate screen, and three gauze fans for decorative purposes. The shaped panel is in gauze silk of a delicate tint of pink, embroidered with silk to represent a large trail of roses add birds with a dragon fly. It is! stretched over wire and edged with a gold cord, a loop of GAIIZK KANS AND GUATE SCKEEN. which suspends the scretn in front of the grate or allows it to be hung to the wall. Of the fans one is fancifully cut in cream gauze, embroidered and edged with a nar row ruching of pink satin ribbon, finished off with a large satin bow; the handle is gilt. Another is in white gauze, embel lished in the center with a bunch of roses. The large fan is hand painted with a nest and flowers. Canned Goods and Open Tins. An "expert" says that - canned goods should be turned out and eaten as soon as possible. If kept at all the food should be covered and put in a cool place always, however, turned out of the Original tin. The liquor around lobsters, salmon and all vegetables, excepting tomatoes, it is de sirable to strain off and throw away. lob sters aud prawns are improved by being turned out into a sieve and rinsed with clear cold water. Never on any account add vinegar, sauces or any kind of condi ment to tinned foods while they are in the tins. j All tinned goods are put up as fresh as it is possible for them to be, but unless the- are corned or salted will not keep if turned out as freshly cooked goods will,, and certainly not longer, as many thought lessly suppose, or expect they will. Sar dines, if preserved in good oil and of good quality, will be an exception, so long as the oil is good the fish can be kept in tins. Grocers' Chronicle. i Kitchen Floors. ' Kitchen floors will be kept in good con dition for two years, says a Good House keeping correspondent, if equal parts Of Vandyke brown and burnt sienna are added to the oil. These may lie had ground in oil and put up in one pound cans. The shade may be regulated to suit the fancy. This is preferable to paint and impervious to "spots." Clean the floor with clear, moderately hot water; no soap. Apple Pudding. To make an apple pudding which is sure to receive praise from all who try it peel, core and quarter one dozen rich apples, stew them in asmall stew pan until tender, then work them through a fine sieve. To one cupful of sugar add one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, the grated rind of one lemon, one egg and a third of a cupful of butter; beat well into the apples, pour into the paste and bake slowly. ,; One Thing and Another. Old Nankin china is in favor with con noisseurs. A valuable design in this is the "hawthorne spray." i ' v Mauve is a new shade in note papers, both plain and ornamental. Another new notepaper is the mignonette. This is in a very pale shade Of green. A "tea wagon" is an English invention for transporting food to the tennis ground. In bisque figures simple rustic designs seem to be popular. Children playing on logs and see-sawing are favorite subjects. The colors are all light and gay, cream and gold predominating.

Importance of the Tea Gown New I .xani iples Describe:! and Illustrated fr he Benefit of Fair Readers Who to Keep Up with the Times. Wish Tea gowns, it was long ago decided, both by the ladies who wear them and the mo distes -who make them, have come to stay. The tea gown is no longer a simple gar ment fjr neglige occasions, but in many instances a gorgeous affair, worthy of a large knd critical audience. No lady's wardrobe is complete without a tea gown; indeed! most ladies possess several. Some of the new tea gowns are worth describing. A'black satin affair seen was trimmed with white lace, fully gathered round the throat, falling thence to the hem on the left side. The sleeves were tucked, puffed and bordered at the wrist with a frill ofj lace. A Japanese tea gown was of quite another order, made in blue satin, trimmed with colored metallic galon. It. was in the make tjhat this garment followed the modes of the eastern nation. The sleeves were of TEA GOWN WITH DHAI'KO IIODICE. the cut we associate with the land of the mikadio, and the front fell in the loose. easy folds Of t hat country. A buttercup tone of oriental silk had been made in a very graceful tea gown, the collar square and tucker the sleeves pendent, the soft drap- ery cai jight up on one side. The tea gown illustrated in the cut is fashioned with a draped bodice, invisibly fastened, and wide sleeves of surah silk, like thle skirt. This ..latter is surrounded along the edge with- a (luted niching in finely plaited moitkseiine chiffon The turned dawn collar, re vers of sleeves and girdle in variegated embroidery harmony with the Watteau train brocade, lined witli foulard. are in in soft Fashions for Men. Dressing is a serious as well as expensive business in the life of a fashionable man. Thricei a day does he array himself in dif clothes. A tweed suit is his morn- ferent ing wear. In the afternopn he dons a frock coat, aJ somewhat dressier waistcoat and a tie. In the evening he has to dress bigger for dinner, aud if he be a tremendous swell later on, exchange his dress again. this time for a smoking suit. The English set the fashions for men, the Prince of Walesigiving the keynote in his own ward robe, hor instance, oroadclotn has gone ou of. fashion for dress suits, the prince setting the fashion for rougher fabrics. Vicunas and rough and smooth twill fab rics are the ravorites. A square ngure is the kind aimed at among Englishmen now. This effect is produced by the shoulders being cut narrow, and a little extra (fullness put into the sleeves. The New Opera Glas9 Bag. To Enumerate even half the many ways in which silver is now used would be im possible within the prescribed limits of a short article. How it has served not only in perianal ornaments, but as a mounting for every imaginable thing, from the fit tings of elaborate traveling bags! to the handles of our sticks and umbrellas; how it has taken possession of writing tables and turned many dressing tables into ex hibitions on a small scale of some of the best work of the silversmith's craft.! These are, indeed, but a few instances j of the many fend various ends that silver serves. It often happens that these silver and silver trimmed affairs are merely old friends returned to us, in slightly different guise, perhaps, but substantially the same; others, confute the often repeated state ment that there is nothing new under the SILVER MOUNTED OPEKA BAG. sun. jbuch a one is here illustrated in the ctit reproduced from The Jewelers' Circular. This silver mounted opera glass bag is the latest thing out. The bag is of plushL in any color that may be desired, with a silk or satin lining. It is drawn to gether at the top with cords, after the usual fashion of these bags, the novel i feature being, of course, the ornate silver mount ing, which not only enhances the intrinsic worth of the bag, but: produces a decora tive effect that is decidedly pleasing. Fancy Belts. j There are many fancy belts made some in leither, with leather covered buckle. Others have two rows of leather united, with trands of thick gold cord. These have two buckles, as one is supposed to be able to draw in the waist tighter with the lower buckle. There are also the jeweled belts and cellars to match. These are generally of gjld woven ribbon, with a motif in raised card and work, set with imitation turquoises or other stones. These belts can be had with one motif oivthree that is, one for the front and one for each side; at the back they are finished off with a rosette of the gold ribbon. The prettiest are those made slightly pointed in the front. and the motif arranged in points also. The Dear Girls. Ethel Do you think he'll commit sui cide! if I reject him? Maud (sweetlyr) Oh, no!

VI beg your pardon," said a cadaver ous and dejected looking man as he stopped me on Twenty-third street, "can yon direct me to the morgue?" "To the morgue?" said I, "why, yes," arid I gave him the needful directions to find his way to that hotel where quiet people go; but sometimes make more trouble than noisy ones could do. "Look ing for a friend?" I asked, the journal istic sense coming to the front. "No," said he wearily. "Looking for peace, that is all." "Indeed?" "Yes." he replied, and the weight of grievous woe rested, it was evident, upon his soul. "My vife is in the country," he said. "A week or two ago she wrote me that as the public schools were about to begin soon we must get settled for the winter, and she wTished that I would look up a pleasant flat firr the winter. The rooms ratist.l.w light and the neigh borhood good, and the rent not more than $50 per week. Of course she ex pected to have steam heat. She was not dead set on a hall boy, but had no ob jection to one. She utterly tabooed Harlem, would not of course think of living on a street that was made noisy and sooty by the elevated roads. Other wise she was ready to leave the selection to me, and she wanted me to exercise my own judgment largely in the picking out of our winter home. P. S. It ought to be handy to a good school, and I must be sure to see that malarious influences did not exist either in the flat or in the neighborhood. P. P. . S. It would be well to make inquiries regarding the cheapness and excellence of the neigh boring markets. Not that it made any difference to her what she ate, but I j was such a glutton, and I could not work the market as if I were a million aire. "I accepted this easy commission with out a tremor," said the cadaverous man w;earily. "I knew that the town was full of beautiful flats, with all the con veniences and blessings that the heart of man could desire. I gathered a list of glorious apartments, all within five min utes' walk of heaven apparently, and with my wife's directions in my hat be gE!i my qnest." A!;.nad you succeed?" I asked, breath less with interest. "Succeed?" he answered dreamily. Succeed? Yes, I have succeeded. I have been five weeks upon the quest, and I have succeeded. Where is the morgue? I do not want a flat I want a slab. A dark, malarious slab, miles from any scfioolhouse, without a janitor of hall boy, with all the electric bells out of order, and with every tenant like me, lying down to peaceful dreams." "Poor man," said I, "I pity you, but do not blame you. For I yes, I must confess it I have been there myself." New York Herald. How a Painter Won a Wager. Often have sculptors and painters dis cussed the relative merits of sculpture and painting. A funny story is told of an artist who resented the disparaging comparisons made by a sculptor, and laid a wager that he could, within a given time, paint a picture which should display the! human figure as completely as any sculptor could do. The wager was accepted, and upon the appointed day a painting was produced which ful filled all the conditions. It represented a warrior, his back to the spectator, bending over a sheet of water in the limpid surface of which was reflected his entire face and form. To the right a suit of polished armor hung and threw 5 back a full length profile image, while a mirror performed a like office for the left side. The sculptor, of course, handed over the money staked, and the painter doubtless laid it out to great profit and advantage to himself and his friends in the approved "cakes and ale" of the period, after the generous manner of his kind.

An Excursion to the Country That Made Nearly Two Hnndred City Boys and Girls Very Happy They Rode in Carl ous Kiifflish Railway Carriages. The very last day of August there was a children's excursion from Bayside to Beech croft, Knglani. There were nearly 200 shildren. Knough grown folk came to look after the children. Some of these children had leen shut up in the hot. dusty town all summer. The very smallest had labels pinned on their frocks, with their names printed on them and the town to which they belonged. This was o that if they were lost whoever "GOOD-BY! GOOP-P.Yl" found them might know where they belong ed. Mr. Dolliver had invited all tftiese little folk to spend the day ou nis farm. Some of the boys had brought their fish ing rods. There was a club of cricket play ers, too, made up of big boys There were plenty of flowers in the woods and meadows cardimil flowers and golden rod and daisies, late blooming clover and meadow sweet, wild roses and pink hardhack. Each girl had a fine large bouquet that she had picked herself when it eame time to go home. They had their dinner in a big tent, and never did a day go by so swiftly as that day. The Dol livers and Cheneys all went down to see them off. "Good-by; good-byl" they all shouted from the platform as the train moved off. And "Good-byl good-byl" came from the children on board.

In this game each player must endeavor to spell his or her best, and a prize must be given to the best speller, and a wooden spoon or other booby prize to the worst. The words to be spelt should be written out clearly on slips of paper, with the def inition added below, and all placed in a box on the table, round which the players are seated. The person to start the game draws out one of the papers at random, pronounces the word distinctly and reads out the definition. The player seated next to him spells t"he word. If she does so correctly she takes the pa per, draws another and pronounces it, and reads the definition to the next neighbor, but if she misses the word, the one pro nouncing it spells it aloud and places it by itself. This continues round the table, the papers being drawn in turn till the game comes back to the starter. No one is allowed to try twice to spell .1 word. Each player keeps his own pile of correctly spelt words, and as many rounds may be played as agreed on at the beginning of the game. The prize 'goes to the one who has spelt the bet. To people who get interested in this game it .-.fiords a great -;mount of amuse ment, often those who feel quite confident about the spelling of a word being those who make the most amusing mistakes.

I suppose ever sine there were butter cups children have held them under each other's chins to see if they liked butter, says a writer for Little Men and Women. You all know Low it is. You hold the pretty golden blossom just under Bessie's or Johnnie's chin, aud if the chin looks yellow, why, then t hey love butter. And I never knew a child that did not like butter. tried in this way; the chin always looks yellow. And I wonder if t here ever was a little boy or girl who (lid not like butter? But the pretty golden buttercups do not grow everywhere. And what do children do whohave no buttercups? Do they try with the dandelion or some other yellow flower to see if they love butter? Oh, no, of course not; they can only try with the buttercups. A Short Lesson. Many boys and girls, and for the matter of that grown folk, too, have a careless way of talking. For convenience sake the following brief lesson is in the form- of "don'ts:" Don't say which is the best of the two? but which is the better, etc. The superla tive adjective should not be used where there are onlv two obiects. f Don't say he is very much of a gentll man, but very gentlemanly.

He is a member of the University of Virginia team. It was always Allen Q. Thurman's ambition to see his grandson an Al ath lete, and though he worshiped the boy as onljra grandfather cn, he was" be a-1 Bionally punctilious to a galling degree about his studies. The Roman's concep tion of studies was rather Greek, and at that they suggested a penchant for the Spartan school rather than that of Ath ens. Mathematics, classics, literature, ethics, logics and all the other cs and : ologies might go for all he cared, but he swore by the nine gods and the United States of America that the boy's athletic education should never be neglected as ong as old Allen had a law practice and a leg to stand upon. When the boy got into his teens it tickled the progenitorial heart to see how willingly he applied himself to his so called studies, and with the object of still further facilitating the youth he sought around among the precincts of Columbus for a fit and proper In tori At that time old Bob Farrel was running a gymnasium in the town. "Can you make an athlete out of my grandson, professor?" asked the "Old Roman." 'I can, sir," promptly responded the ex-prize fighter. "Make him able to lick any one of his size, eh?" 'Lick anything as walks, sir," said Billy. Young Lee was entered as a pupil at once, and remained in the institution for some time. One day about three months later the boy came home pretty early, and his srrandfather inquired bow he was getting along with his studies. "Oh, pretty fairly, sir," said the youngster. "Can you box. eh?" "A bit, sir." "Can you give an upper cut, eh?" "Think so, sir." "An under cut, eh? Now, don't try to deceive me. Can you give an under cut, ehr "Oh, I think so, sir." "What about a swing? Now, it's no good attempting to revaricate. Can you give a Bwing, sir?" "Yes, sir." "And fetch him under the chin with your right?" But though to every question th youngster responded in the affirmative the "Old Roman" was as doubtful as Thomas the apostle. "You will have to prove what you say," said he. "Put on your hat and we'll go down to the gymnasinrn. Arrived at the professor's academy Mr. Thurman ordered the tutor to put on the gloves with the pupil, and then told them to blaze away. Bob Farrel shivered on the horns of a dilemma. If he licked the boy the old gentleman would swear he had not taught him to defend himself. If the boy licked him the Roman would think he wras not a competent instructor. The fight began with the proprietor on the defensive. The boy gave an opening which Bob let pass without at tempting to take, in a vain hope that the grandfather would not see. "You idiot f roared the old man, "why didn't you cajch him that time? Hit him in the neck, there, Leel Smash his jaw for him! Hooraw, boys! Give it him, there, professor!" Farrel bowled over the boy with a right hander in the mouth and the Ro man went into ecstacies. He went over to the youth and warned him. "Hit high, my boy," said he, "hit high. His face guard is weak. Knock his face out." The contestants closed again. Bob got in one on the boy's neck and he winced. "Why didn't you return on his nose?" roared the lawyer. The next chance he got and Bob slyly gave him plenty he touched the pro fessor's nose and the claret spurted freely. "Glorious, my son!" shrieked the grandfather. "Give him another like that! Glorious, my boy! You're your own father's son. Glorious!" Another opening and Lee got in on his tutor's neck and the professor dropped like a felled bullock. He simply refused to be revived; nothing they could do would pull him together. "He's knocked de stuffin' out er me!" he moaned, whereat the Roman hugged his grandson. Well, Bob Farrel faked through his faint to the intense joy of all parties, and when he came around the "Old Roman" gave his boy's tutor f 10. There was no happier man in the state of Ohio that day than Allen G. Thur man, and a big load was lifted off jthe old ex-prize fighter's heart. Cincinnati Times-Star. The Fatal Ring, I was told a singular tale of a ring while on a recent visit to a Paris morgue. For nearly 100 years a certain family of working people in Paris have ended their lives bv suicide. From fa ther to son, from mother to daughter, has been handed a plain gold ring, and on the finger of each of these suicides has been found this trinket. It has been called the fatal ring, and only last year it made its appearance on the finger of a young man the last of the race. The ring.was buried with the corpse.
