Savages Who 1'aunet Produce lire.
It is not often that explorers discover
savage people who are Unorant cf the
art of producing Cre. As far as is
known, fire ha been a necessity even
amorj tie rudest savages for ruany cen
turies, and it always excites wouder
when we hear at rare intervals of reo
pie who, while enjoying the blessings of
fire, express themselves as wholly ig
norant of the methods of producing It,
and who im.iglne that Jf by some calam
ity all their fires were extinguished
they could r.ever rekindle them.
Such a tribe has recently been mt by
Tr. Finsrh during his travels in New
Oulnea. lie says the paop'e in the
Inrge villages that ate buried In the
forests along the shores of Astrolabe
J5ay know of no mems by which they
can product) Cre. It thereforf a duy
devolving upon every member of the
community to aid In preserving Crr.
All their cooking :s done outside their
huts In the open air, but in the centre
of each hut is a fhepl.ice, and it Is a
crime to p ermit the Ere to go out.
They use hard wood that burns very
slowly, and their aim is to keep a good
ted of coals cn which the wood burns
without nursling Into Jl ime.
Ir. Finsch asked the natives if they
uev.rlost their Cr. Uo wa" told th:it
such a calamity had occurred, and that
they would never have h id Cre ng:tia if
it hud not been for a very fortunate cir
cumstance. They know a tribe m the
mountains away from th sea who pos

makers for the ep-uk thut would rekin
dle the dead embers in their huts.
Th? carried the Cre for mtny miles.
They were determined nflver a?ain to
be redured to thit necessity, though it
made them feel very comfortable to
think that they knew where they could
get fresh fire ir they lost their own.
It ia to be presumed that these sim
p'o minded natives have row ceaeed to
guard the smouldering eml era in their
Luts with such jealous care. A white
man has been anions them, onj of the
Port who '. brings blesins Instead of
evils ic his tr:tin. nr.d they know now
that even if they never see a white min

A Power ml War Mnp.

A Woman's Tlow oT Women.
The best educated woman will best
understand the limits of ket own pow
ers ; the girl who can really earn her
own living in a m irr suited to her
5?x will not desire work for which she

thoroughly ur.drstandj wkat the teim

asptre to n direct sh.ua in tho govern
ment of the Suie, even though the may
think herself and her sisters not un
worthy of a voice In the choice or their

Jl?fore railroads were tullt in India,
the ordinary mode of rapid traveling
waa by the palkl, which was borne on
the shoulders of four natives. The
speed and endurance of the professional
pa'.kl bearers are really remarkable. An
English traveler of only a few years
ago thus describes a jouruey which he
made in I'.engal :
"Ey half-past fcur In the afternoon
was at the entrance of the l'atn3 bazaar,
nine miles in lenh, and thirty-three
miles from llirh. Thus they had
brought rr at an cvera.q- rate cf over
four miles an Lour, Including a stop
page of over half an hour for their mid
day meal. It is true I was lignt
weight ; but I once, with a frieid. tried
to carry an empty palki. and found It so
ga'.Unjr to the shoulder that I could not
get beyond a rew yards, while these
men, who lived on little else than rce,
could carry a loaded one over forty
mi!ep, at the rate mentioned above."
A Diricvsaio.v arose between tho con

1'hotograpbiug by Heat.
It may be said that photoeraphs can
be taken by heat as well as by light.
The action of the shorter waves of en
ergy which we call !i?ht is quicker and
sooner manifest to the eye than the ac
tion of the Ions waves, which we call
heat ; but the invisible heat rays in the
solar spectrum have been photographed.
Tne slow action of heat in changing
the molecular state of bodies ia well
known. It is probable that an emul
sion cculd be foi nii-d which would give
an image of a hot black k-ltle in a dark
chamber. The element of time, how
ever, would probably be au important
one.
Indeed, we are often presented with
vuVi.ces of tbe picture making faciltv
of heat rays. A fernvleaf upon ice
ia soon represented by tne diff-rence of
molecular ac'ian. A stationery car

4. I: quenches thirst, which soft

His kincIom.
When tLe la'e German Emperor
Frederick was Crown Prince and res
sided at the Dew palace, near Pots
dam, he took great delight in tbe aim
pie country life of the regirn. lie
learned all about agricultural details,
and peasonally fcuperintended the work
on his neighboring farm at Bornsted:.
while tha Princess took charge of the
d.iirF and poultry yard.
O.ie of his most marbtd character

where he sometinea quesMr ed the
childt'n in the teacher's p'nee. O

"And I, myself ? To hat kingdom

Trees with Larpe Leaves.
Trees of th9 paltc family have larger
leaves than any others. Tt-e Inaja
palm, which grows on lha banks of the
.Amazon, have leaves which reach a
length of from thirty to fifty feet, and
are ten or twelve feet in breadth. Spe
cimens of the leaves of the Talipot
pilm,a native of Ceylou, have, been
met with that were twenty feet long
eighteen feet broad. These leaves are
utsed by the natives to make tents and
form very efficient shelter from the
rain. The leaves of the double cocoa
nut palm are often thirty feet long and
several ttet wide. When the wind is
strong they clash together with a noise
that m ty be haid at a great distance.
Only one leaf is produced each year,
an 1 they are bo firmly attached to the
stem of the tree and so strong in them
selves than a man may sit on the end of
one and rock to and fro in perfect safe
ty. Irazy liug Pattern.
Take a coffee-sack, ilp it apart, and
make a hem an inch wide all around it.
Then bunt up all the worsted pieces of
hevy cloth, the more different kinds
you have the better your rugs wi'1 look;
biatethem on the coffee-seek In any
shtpe and 8'z-, just as you do your si'k
pieces for quiit. Only you need not
turn the edges under, for if they are cut
with starp scissors they will not ravel
before they are worked around. Now,
after the sack is covered with piecej
basted on, take different colors of car
pet warp, which you may bave bad left
from your last rag carpet, and wrrk
around each piece in some crary stitch
that will hold tbe pieces securely.
Work all around the edge of tha rug In
bjttonhole stitch, and finish by pulling
out your basting threads, which by the
way thould be of fery coarse thread.
If you have no pieces of cloth that will
do, tear up an old jacket, coat, pair of
pants, etc., brnsh or wash them and
they will do almost as well as new.
Xow that the weather is warmer do
not feed the hens except at night, the
obj--c: ting to compel them to hunt
and scratch for their food during tbe
day. By so doing they will keep in lay
icg condition, the eggs will hatch bet
ter and the health of tbe flock be pro
moted. The great obstacle to euccees
with pon'try is overfeeding, especially
in summer.
