Seeing Sounds.
In an article headed, "What a Sound
Looks Like," a Xew Tork parer tella
some interesting facts about the phono
graph. Does It not give your brain a
tendency to swim when you try to real
ize that you can actually see a spoken
word not the reproduction of it iu type
or writing, but the very Bounds, of
which the word is composed, them
selves. The phonograph catches some words
tetter than others. The most d.tticult
are the words containing K, btciuse
tbat'letter makes more sound waves
than the consonants.
Curiously enough, loud noises do not
distuib the air and make so many waves
as some quieter ones, the only differ
ence being that they are stronger wavrs,
a difference ot quality rather than of
quantity. . sound hiving a ctrtain
cumber and kind of wavts or atmos
pheric disturbances agitates the dia
phragm of the phonograph, acd this lit
tle plate is so d-licute that it catches
every cne cf them.
When the machine is turned buck

A Krmarkalile I'se for Mlfc.
One of the most remarkable us: s t-
which silk and other fabrics aie tving
put of late is the veneering of faucy
furniture. The latest wrinkle has not
as yet gone into general use. but the ex
tent to which the idea can be utilized i
... i
appears well mgn unlimited. A Phila
delphia paper in this cerurct'on i.ays :
In the parlor ot a hous ou West
Walnut street, which is tpnantrdby a
wealthy merchant, there i3 a very I eau
tiful display of v. r.e lies in silk and
cretonne. The walls of the larqe room
are done in raiced panels of plain wood,
and over each or these panels a piece of
eilk, upon which is painted by hand a
beautiful design of flowers is stretched
and tacked on the back of the panel, s
that there is not a crease to indicate the
preaence of so foreign a substance.
Each alternate pauel is covered with
satin, and the sheen is simply beautiful
under a mellow gas light The idea
has even been carried to the fragile lit
tle table that stands in the centre of the
room. That is covered with satin, on
which a pretty baby face is pointed by
hand, and the substance has been treat
ed with numerous coats of transparent
yarnishes which completely QU up the
iuterstices iu the fabric until ic can
scarcely bo distinguished from highly
polished wood. This system of decor,
ation has beeu found to be quite as
cheap as the wood veneering, and in
richness of appearance the silk veneers
appear fully equal to the Quest effects

The Mot t pensive Leather.
"The most costly leather in the
world, so far as I kaow," s.iid a dealer
in Cne skins and leathers, '"is known to ;
the tiade as piano leather. American ;
tanners jears ago discovered tbe secret !
of making Itussia leather, with its pe- !
culiarly pumren; and lesticg odor ; but i
the secret of tanning piano leather is '
known only to a family of tanners in ;
Thuringia. Germany. This leather has !
but one use, the covering of piano kejs. I
A peculiar thing about it is that tie'
skins from which it is tanned are pro- !
cured almost entirely in Americi. It !
is a peculiar kind of buckskin. The ;
skin of the common red or Virginia ;
deer will not make the leather, a species
cf the animal known as the gray deer, j
and found only In the vincinity of the !
great northern lakes, alone furnishing !
the material. The German tanuers i
Save an agency in Detroit which coU i
Iects the s-kin3 of this deer from the I n-
dian and half breed hunters, who sun- I
ply the market. The hunters are raid I
an average price of -20 cents a pound Tor
the green skins. When the skit-s are
returned to this country as piano leath
er they ccst the piano manufacturer
from ?l" to51S a pound. The world's
supply of this invaluable and necjjs. im
material is supplied by the Krelhiaar
family of tanners, who have six estab
lishments in (termaEy, the largest and
best at Care, in Thurngia."

It is a well-known fict that the dif
ferent domestic aninn!s or the farm all
pull and cat their grass iu diilereiit
ways. This is partly due to several
causes, such as tho predilection of each
kind for particular grasses aud aver
sion to others, and also the arrange
ment of the incisor teeth in the mouth,
as well as the siza of the muzzle itself.
The sheep is one of the closest feeders
we have ; In fact with the exception of
the rabbit and the kangaroo. It will eat
a pasture barer than any other animal.
This is, of course, due to the small size
of the mouth, together with its predi
lection for the liner grasses. Next to
the sheep comes the horse Jn this re
spect, for, although his mouth is large,
yet the fact that he has teeth above
and below, enables him to bite close.
It Is very noticeable in a pasture where
horses are alone that they eat over the
land very unequally. Some of the
"sweeter" spots are not touched, but
left rough. Cattle, on the other hand,
have not only a large muzzle, but also
the absence of upper teeth, so that, of
necessity, they can not bite fine or close,
and, therefore, we God with them that
their grass is rougher and less bare in
parts than with the others.

An Exchange very wisely remarks
that it has always seemed singular that
in the uje of paint to preserve wood exs

shingle roof was omitted from the cata
logue was invariably the rule. This
idea or oversight was one of those
things whicQ custom becomes habit,
and because everyone else did so, all the
rest followed suit. If paint would oe
useful on any weather-exposed surface,
it should certainly be on a roof. This
fact goes without telline, and In the
present style of suburban residences the
roof receives its share of paint along
with the rest of the bcilning, thus at
once combining the useful with' the
beautiful. It is ceitainly singular that
painting of roofs has not always pre
vailed and it adds much to the finished
character of the building to see the
roof painted.

of Columbus.
According totte learned n searches
of Fatber Do Fouri, !Hin Miguel's was
built in l-U.J, and therefore is now three
hundred atitl forty-five years old, mak
ing it, I tbiuk, without dispute,
oldest church anywhere north of the
Mexican frontier. Like all the other
churches of tlw part of Au?ii ;a, it
built of adobes, on the simple plan
four plain, and vrry thick walls and a
nearly flat roof supported by heavv
beam-. There are targe brackets
each end of the beams elaborately
carved. Over these rafters soin

times when men went to charch with
their hauds on their swords. The
sancMry was veiled off fio the body
ot the church, and decorated as elabor
ately as ihe limited circumstances of the
people would allow. Ou the sane: nary

Dreams Indicatntg l)iease.
If science has dispelled such did
wives' fables as that to dream of a mar
risge signified a death, or to dream of a
eat meant to meet a foe, she has cei
tainly added mysteries and terrors of
her own to the sutjtet. One learned
man has actually tried to systematize
those subtle premonitions to make
them more available for use and guid
ance. In his opinion.
"Lively drearrs are iu general a s'gn
of excitement, of nervous action.
"Soft dreams are a sign of slight ir
ritation of the head ; often in nervous
fevers announcing the approach of a
favorable crisis.
"Frightful dreams are a Blzz. of de
termination of blood to the head.
'Dream? of distorted forms are fre
quently a sign of obstructions and dis

"Dreams in which the pUIent imag

Onecansrbt by a party of New York
gentlemen'in Tlorida within the lat
four weeks weighed 1000 pounds. He
was nine feet long, his body beini? five
feet wide, and fifteen feet when the
flns were oatspread. The eyes of thit
monster are in the shoulders, and his
head and mouth sloped inward with a
curve. Otherwise he was like an enor
mous bat, having:, however, a tail like
awhiplash. Drawn up on the beach,
and his mouth fastened open, a fine
view was had of his internal digestive
arrangements. His Stomach was a hol
low, like that of many a more deserving
creature, and there were two or three
rows of what looked like the teeth,
jagged like-aws, and through which the
food probably passed, being ground on
its way.
To Destroy Kats.
Some three weeks since, Mr. James
Newell, a neighbor of mine, in repiv to
my question said : "If you will take a
jar or pot, put it io your corncrib. fill it
I within four or five inches of top with
water, put a double handful of cotton
u lop , me water, and pile the
corn around so that the rats can easi y
reach the top, you will catch every rat
that passes by ; the rats will jump on
the cotton seed." "The next day 1
tried the experiment, and three days
after bad my jar examined, and the
servant palled out thirty-one drowned
rats. In sixteen days I bad caught
ninety two rats." Newell says the rats
never hurt bis corn. I have repeated
the story to several, and all who have
tried It, have been socceesful. The
best place to set your jar, is by the side
or wall of the crib. All who are
troubled with rats, try it.
