re&a esc ns. n or se TI Story vf utt lnrmtion. It rony not be generally known that ; an iiuportant invention in connection with the manufacture of carpets origi batedas follows ; An operative wearer, in one of the largest establishments iu this country, was engaged in weaving a carpet that in its finished stage would appear ns a velvet pile. At that period this description of carpet was woven much in the manner of Brussels, the loops being afterward cut by hand a alow and costl Jprocess. These loops are fwitued by the insertion of wires of the requisite thickness to form the loop ; they tire then withdrawn. This weaver, whether by cogiation or as the insult of a bright thought came to the conclusion that if these wires were so constructed as, on being withdrawn, to cut the loop, thus instantly completing the formation of the pile, it would be a great saving of labor and time, and a great economy. Taking one of the rods, he changed its lorm to the re quired shape, "ground a knife edge upon it, took it to his looms, and in serted it into the web all the while maintaining strict sccresy and with ; some logrec cf excitement watched its i weaving down until the moment for ita withdrawal. This came, the rod v as drawn out, the loops w ere cut, t.andj the experiment was a perfect success, the pile being cut with great evenness. The weaver, w ilh a shrewdness often wanting in inventors, doubled up the rod and hid it away, wove down the line of cut loops upon the roll, then . ' knocked off," or stopped his loom, mid proceeded to theoHiee of the mill, where he demanded to see the princi pal. The clerk demurred to this, ask ing if he himself could not do all thct was required ; but no, the w eaver per sisted. Then the manager tried, but with the same result ; only the principnl would suit the weaver. The principal was informed of the operative's per sistence in determining to see him, so he at once ordered him to be admitted. I This was done and the weaver stepped : into the well furnibhed and handsomely caipeted ollice of the manufacturer. 11 isemploxer addressed him: "Well, i John," (for so we will call him) "what j is it you want V "Well, raaister, I've ' getten summut yo mun hev,'' replied John. "Wodn't yo like a way tit inakkin V loom cut th' velvet pifes?" : continued the weaver. "Yea ! that I ! would 1'' replied the employer ; "and I j will reward any man handsomely who brings me a plan of doing it," added he. "Awm yarc inoti, then," s:id the j operative. "Wod'II yo gi' me?" h ! further asked. After some further ' conversation a bargain w as struck, and a sum agreed upon, whu-h the weaver j should be entitled to claim in the event ' of his plan for automatically cutting the pile of the carpet being a success. Arrangements were made for the trial; the weaer made hi3 preparations; the j master, the manager, and one or two i confidential employes gath'ered around the loom upon which the experiment . had to be made, all others being sent out i f the range of observation. The ' uc v torn ef .vires were imo; led, woven down, and withdrawn, leaving a well i cut pile upon tha f-ice of the carpet. The weaver had w-on his reward, and it j v-a honorably paid. An annuitv of ! 100 was settled upon him, which he ' continued to enjoy until within a recent date, and for anything we know to the , contrary may be enjoying yet. He ' retired from the weaving shed, deter mined to spend the rest of his dfys in 4A nnl rf"kYt f..f lit.-. . I iiuu i-viuivi t. j i i-5 t-iuijf e r ch oired by patent the benefits of Ids in vention, it leing one, among several others, which contributed to place that manufacturing establishment in tho foremost rank in the trade, while its ownes attained wealth and social em inence as the reward of their prudent enterprise. Textile. Manufacturer. T .4 PAN7.SE F.tVS Tho nnnlitloa of native paper now used arc not nearly ; u .iiusv nuitll OKI lailS were made, and, in consequence, the trie of manufacture has had to be changed. Instead of first pasting the two faces of the fan together and then ! running in pointed ribs, the ribs are j square and are pasted in their places in the manner described above. The outside lacquered pieces and the fai cy work are all done in Osaka and Kioto, and so jc of the designs in gold lacquer fin bone are really artistic; but the; demand for the highly ornamented ' description of fans is nt snllicicnt to encourage the production of large quantities of first c!s3 work. When the ioides are dry, the riveting of the pieces together, including the outer covering, is rapidly done, and a dasb of varnish quickly finishes tho fan j The highest price that was ever given for a fan in the dajs of seclusion from tLe outer wi Id rarely exceeded a sov ereign ; but since the arrival of for eigners in the country, some lev have been made to order at prices varying from 2 'i. fhe general prices of, ordinary tans range trom 2 to 3 shil ling to 3 per hundred, though an extraordinarily expensive fan is turned out at 10 per hundred. The sale of fans in olden times, seldom exceeded 19,000 a year for the whole country ; but in reccitjears nO less than 3,00u, 000 per annum have bocii exported from the ports of Osaka and Yokohama (done. In concluding these biief lfotes il in.iy bo interesting to mention that the number of tans ordered in Japan for the centennird exhibition at I'hila-df!p!iU-Teacher?r-rrtrge -figure of 800,000, the estimated cost of which was 10.000, and that these were over and above the ordinary n"l ; alluded to before.; Chambers Journal. 1 . - i "When bad, rainv weather fomes so i. . .. f j you ua'i ii wum out u uuui s, an vises an exchange, cut, split and haul your; wood, make your racks, fix your fen ces or git-, and patch the roof ot your barn or house, hut how all that is to be d n with u. workng out of door ViS pa.pt: dou't state. iinnnunn itH un fn nn in na na mi IHI MM HHHI1UH liii un lilt u u I'H IU Jsll HB H!

The Boston Journal of Chevstry says that poor , animals consist pf about two-third water, while fat ones are only one-half i in the total weight, and compares poor J animals to lxg meadows. ' It adds, that when the fattening process begins water commences to disappear, and fat or suet takes its plape; and the in crease in bulk during the process is largely of adipose matter. It is a curious circumstance that, during the fattening, the proteids or nitiogenous compounds, increase only about 7 per cent., and bone materials, or inorganic su I stance, only 'per cent. The cost to a farmer of fattening an ox is much greater at the close of the process than at the "oiumenccincnt ; thst is, increase in bulk or diy weight at that period is much more costly. It costs 3 cents a pound for bulk for the first month sitter a poor niiinod if. put in the fattening stall; it will cost 5 cents the last month. If,- then, a tar uier consult his money interests, he will not carry the increase in fat be yond a certain po'nt, provided he can I turn his partially fattened nnimsils to air advantage. I 'aimers have, per haps, learned this facjlxom expviutuce and observation, and hence comnara- tivelv lean beef aboundsinciir market Wbile Uia js o( aiIvantn ,e to the the farmer, il is very disadvantageous to the consumers of the lecf, for the flesh of a fat animal inieveiy case is much I richer infixed nourishing material than that of the lean, and it is never good economy to purchase lean beef. It is j better to purchase the poorest part of i a fat aniti.nl than the lest of a lean ' one. The best piece of a fat ox (the j loin) contains from twenty one to twenty eight per cert, more fixed ma i terial than the corresponding part of a lean one; and curiously enough the worst piece in the lean animal (the neck) is the richest in nourishing ma- terial. The flesh of the neck improves very little in fattening, hence, economy considered, it is the best portion to purchase, as its value in a measure is a fixed one. The Hr.ns of A ntiquity.--C,A bout ! the earliest data that we have concern ing beds are of Egyptian oriyin, and thev are very s-light. ir Uardincr Wilkinson thinks that the Egyptians times w usuai3' slept on ineir nay couches, were lung and straight, some times with a back, sometimes with ! carving of the heads ami feet of animals at the ends, made ot bronze, of alabas ter, of gnld and ivory, of inlaid wood, and richly cushioned. Where these Acre not in use, mats replaced them, or low pallets made of palm boughs, , with a wooden pillow hollowed out for I the head. What Egypt had, the As syrian ami ll e rest of the world had ; ami the Wreck, whenever lie could, improved upon other countries' no tions; and the Greek couch, judging from the bas reliefs on many vases, w ere of great elegance. The Romans, although receiving so many of their customs and so much of their art from (J recce, h:id very simple beds until after their Eastern conquests. Indeed beds which, with their pillows, were , merely hollows in a slab of stone, have j Itcen found among Iloman lemains. Hut from the period when their Asiatic dominion increased, the Uonuns bor rowed fashions from the conquered, and they developed a strong taste for lnxuiy, especially in the matter of bet Is. Examples of the Iloman form of bed wre stiil preserved in the days of Charlemagne. In the meantimeof course, in the barbaric life of Northt rn and Western Europe, these forms generally being lost, it was an advance in civilization when the Itench became the bed, and people were fastidious enough at last to feel above sleeping : 1 11. rl . . . . vu uuiiuies oi straw oi neaps ol skin upon flags MtSCLLAR 1 ower in Beetles I Mr. Oosse relates the following ..,.., dote of a time horned beetle, which is not larger thin the ordinary English stag beetle: "This insect has "just astonished me by a proof of its vast strength of body.
