A FulULenglh Radiograph, A New York physician baa been able to make a radiograph of the entire form of a woman. The negative, life size, taken of her has been jnst de veloped and is nearing perfect. The Bubjeot is five foot four inches in height. The film, or plate, is six feet long by three feet wide, and on it stands out clearly and distinctly the framework of bone of the woman's body, with all its joints ; the casing of flesh, indications of rings, bracelets, hairpins, shoes and garters and, even more interesting yet, lines and mark ings that show the folds and textnre of her drees jnst as it rested when she lay on the film with the Crookes tube suspended on a bracket over her. It took half an hour's exposure to make this negative, and the result gives the body in perfect detail, except that the hips are very faint, and tho film needs to be held in certain lights to make them plainly visible. The film was stretched on a board lying on the floor and was covered with three layers of black paper to prevent ordinary day light striking it. Flat npon it the subject was laid, upon her back, fully and completely clothed, care being taken that even her dress covered her shoes. Fonr and a half feet above the floor, suspended over the subject on a long-armed bracket and midway between her head and feet, was the Crookes tube. It was an induction current of high poten tiality that fed thii. Velvet. Velvet is manufactured by placing in the loom rows of very short threads of the material designed to bo em ployed, whether cotton or silk. These aro then caught up by the cross threads in the weaving and fastened in tuch a way that the fleecy ends pre sent themselves all on one side of the fabric. The inannfacture of velvet is so slow that for a baud weaver a yard is considered a good day's work. The machine-made velvet is of course turned out much more lapidly. Centre of England.

It is harder work to make the best butter from aonc-oow dairy, especially Into in tbe soason,whon the milk yield lessons. The best butter is mado with least expense when the dairy is largo enough to rsquire churning every day. This makes a great deal ot hard work, nnlcss it impels tho dairyman to provide power of some kind, so as to relieve the hard labor. This it generally does. Whenever the dairy is large enough to require churning every day, a croamory or a separator will pay, not only by the saving of labor, but by making more of the ercam than is possible by the old pro cess of hand skimming the milk. CROWS AND ROOKS. The United States Department of Agricultnrc, in a rcoont report, brings forward in his (the crow's) favor evidence of the clearest and most con vincing kind. The stomachs of a thousand crows were carefully ex amined, with the simple result that more insects and spiders were fonnd than any other kind of food in all the months but January and February. During May and June five hundred and thirty wore as carefully analyzed, and a full half of all the contents was proved to consist entirely ot insocts, the majority being among tbe farmer's worst foes locusts. May beetles, weevils, wire-worms, and the grnba of the cockchafer (Melolontha) and Harry Long legs (Tipula), which the rook does his best to exterminate. Add to this a goodly number of field raioe and moles, and towards wintor 'a few stray grains of waste wheat from the stnbble or the farmyard, and the list is complete. If this muou be admitted on behalf of the crow, far more justly may it be nrged in defence of the rook, a large portion of whose time is spent on the wing, or at hard work in the ploughed field or meadow, busily destroying tho very enemies whioh defy man's utmost skill to reach. Taken as a whole, therefore, the character of the Corvns is worthy of much respect. Slow and deliberate iu the choice of a homo or a friend, he never hurries and seldom makes mistakes ; if now and then a bit of thief, he wages continnal war against many pests that we are well rid of. lie may be slightly pompous and apt to give himself airs in private life ; he may even fancy at times, "in the gaiety of his heart, that he is sing ing," when he is but giving a croak ; bnt he is a pleasant and cheerful neighbor, and often shows a liking in his surroundings, in epito ot that terrible "slaughter of the innocents" from which ho once barely escaped with his life. New York Observer. THE DOORTARD. No class of people can so well afford to have a neat, inviting dooryard as the farmer. In the city, we can't have one foot of sod or a load ot dirt without pay ing eash for it, while the farmer has acres of it. If you want to improve the yard, first examine closely and see what is lacking. Itthedoorstone or steps are crooked, a crowbar and little muscle will soon fixed that. It will not cost many dollars to make a wooden walk to the front gate. Or perhaps yon have plenty of gravel. If so, don't pnt that down until yon have put a thick layer of ashes to keep the grass from growing. If you can, put narrow boards, four inches wide, to form an edge to keep the grass from growing into the walk. Now find if there are any low plaoes. If so, fill with rich soil. The quiokest way to have grass is to out sod abont one foot square with your spade, leav ing three inches ol dirt on it. Where you want to lay this, have the dirt spaded and all stones removed, so it will root easily ; pat down hard on the sod with tho spade and water freely every day until it begins to grow. irim all trees and vines. If this is all done thoroughly, you will have a fine yard. Don't make flower beds unless some one has plenty ot time to Care lor tuoni. lint as last as you can af ford, add shrubs and trees. Don't stop this good work with the front yar J, bnt do the same in tbe side and back. Whore you want shade, plant trees, at you live in a climate where nut trees will grow, by all meaus have tnem. Choose some place where yoa can have a hammock, tnako some ruetic seats, and if yon havo small children, furnish them with a swing. Let them have a "picnio" eomo of the pleasant days by taking what they were to have at the table outdoors under some shady tree. They will think it fine fun. It is the greeu-clad yard, with at tractive Mowers, tree laden with fruit, and a gardon of sms.ll fruits and vege tables, that makes the sonsaud daugh ters cling to home and parents.

Th following poom was written hv ths late lilrhnrd I.yle, "una of tho brightest memliera of tho New Orleans liar," and It Is said to be tho pnthrtlo story of his own rulued Ufa I hnvo been to tho fnneml of all my hopes And entomlied them one by ono. Not a word was srtttl, Not a tear was shed, When the mournful task was done. Slowly and sadly I tnrtiod mo round And sotiirht my silent room. And there alone, By my cold henrthstouo, I wooed tho midnight gloom. And, as tho night wind's deepening shads Lowered abovn my brow, I wept o'er the dava When manhood's rays Were brighter far than now. Tbe dying embers of tho hearth Gave out their flickering light As If to aay. This is the way Thy life shall close In night. t wept aloud, In anguish sore, O'er the blight of prospoets fair, While demons laughed And eagerly quaffed My toars like nectar rnm. Through hell's red hnll an echo rang, An echo lotid and lonir, As In the bowl I pltinired mv soul In the night of madness strong. And there, within thnt sparkling glass, I knew tho cause to llet This all men own From aono to rone. Yet millions drink and tile. TBI PRINCISO rBORt.Cat. In a recent addrees, after referring to tho fact that there are peoplo who will drink to excess In spite of every effort made by their friends to restrain them, Dr. T. D. Crothers said that heredity, occupation, mentality, hnblts, tmining, education, etc,, are factors which are nil considered In the study and treatment of an Individual who Is a victim of the drinking bnbit. In 100 drinking men who drink to excess, fl fly-two have moderate or excessive drinking parents and twenty more have a distinct history of drinking grandparents. Prom alxty-flve to seventy live per oont. havo, therefore, a history ol drinking ancestry. Then there are flneen more who ncqulre the drinking habit from disease or Injury. Then there Is a class ol brain workers or those whose brains bave re ceived a great shook through grief or Injury. Soren or eight out of a hundred are men whose environment Is such thnt they natur ally take to drink. The boy or young man who goes to drink voluntarily is probably weak and Irresolute. There Is a uniformity about tbe habits of drinking men which shows thnt the habit Is a disease. One hundred men who are drinking men will reach similar stages at the same time, and tho results In each case will be practically the same. Alcohol Is not a stlmulnnt. It Is a narcotic, pure and simple, Tho new study of psychol ogy In Germany and Enxlnnd, by actual ex periments upon temperate men, shows that alcohol diminishes tbe brain action, sight and bearlng,affeets muscular action, qnlckcns tbe heart's action and reduoeetha tempera lure. It also affocls the memory; all ol which have been approved by experiments and show that alcohol Is a parallzer, a narcotic. STBOSO DBIKE AND BKBCDITT. Tbe hereditary consequences ot strong driuk nre sometimes BDnalllnir. A aneolnllst In children's disease;, who bos for twelve years been carefully noting the difference be tween twelve families of hnrd drinkers and twelve families of temperate ones, reports that he found tbe twelve hnrd drinking fami lies produced In those years flfty-aeven chil dren, and thetemponttes slxty-ono. Of the drinkers twenty-live children died in the first week ot life, as against six on the other side. Among the children of the drinkers were five who were Idiots; five so stunted In growth as to be really dwarfs; five when older became epileptics; one, a boy, bad grave chorea, ending In ldiocy Ave more were diseased and deformed, and two of the eplleptlos be came by inheritance drinkers. Tea only of the fifty-seven were normal In body and uiiuu. uumo pan oi ine letnperates, two only showed Inherited nervous affects; live died In the drat week of weakness, while four In later years ot childhood had curable nervous diseases, and fifty were In every way sound In body and mind. LATEST FOBSf Or DRCNKIXXESS. The very latest aort of drunkennoa. anvs the Chicago Journal, Is thnt which, It has been discovered, comes from the oonstnnt In halation of smelling-salts. Ho great a hold bos the smellinir-salts hithit gained upon tho modern woman that when she is deprived of them she experience all tho oravings thnt afflict tbe person who dearly lovos liquor mm nuns uimseit aepriveii ol It. Home ot the salts are of excessive strength and pro duce a sort of stupor most gratifying to tbe victim, more man onu woman boa been sus pected of drlnklpg whon really her Inebriety has resulted from a too liberal use of the imelllng-bottle. Not lonz auo a titled ladv was carried from the oloak-room at a grand reception In London In n state of helplens nnes. A bottle was found In the folds of her ?own containing matter OT a strength su in dent to take away the breath of an ordinary person. The rumor spread with wonderful precision that my In.ly was a confirmed drunkard, the smelling-salts theory being ii'iiuou uy ine majority, an 1 Ibe victim found It necessary to withdraw from tbe social circle she had long graced. TUB ALCOHOL HABIT. The followiua storv is from the New Cru sade: A lady who was a guest in the borne of i physician and somewhat troubled wi'b In omnia, asked him to give her something to make bur sleep. As he handod her a doso ot bromidla, ho said, "I am sorry to start you ju ttie uromiuia nauit.

Qiincr Railway Economies. Railway economy has taken some curious forms. "Every lino is its own manufacturer," savs the London and Northwestern Railway, and hardly a thing that it needs, whether a locomo tive or a printed label, is made for it by peoplo not bolonging to tbe com pany. It is its own artificial leg maker. When an employe bos had tho misfor tnne to lose a limb on tbe line, a wooden leg or arm, as tho case may bo, is sent to him from the carpenter's shop at Crewe. The log-making de partment of the Northwestern employi a couple of oipert instrument makers working continually to supply tho demand. At Wolverton, on tbe same system, yon will see in tho carriago works s man engaged n etohing fanny designs apon the platos of the ground glasi nsed in the first-class compartments and saloons. Tho Midland Company has found il advantageous to bave a "photographer-in-ordinary." If a bridge shows sigus of dooay or an embankment is likely to slip, the engineer in-chief, on re port, sends him to photograph the "aooident" (thoy call everything an ao- oident on the railway), thus saving a personal visit. In the case of a "smasbup, tbo photographer immediately takes sev eral photos of the train or trains from different points of view, so that, when the Board of Trade inquiry conies on, there can be no disputo as to how tho engines and carriages were lying.

Mr. Howland points ont that all the private corpora tions proposing to bnild this canal have failed to raise the nocessary capital, and there is little prospect of futnre success in that line, says Mr. Howland. At tbe present time more than half of the &UU0 convicts whose labor is available are now unemployed, and it is costing the State 8750,000 aunnally for their maiuteunncc. He proposes to use only short-term prisoners on this work and would build the canal as a State enterprise. I bo scheme is approved by the Snperintendont of Prisons. Mr. flow- aud dies the employment of conviot labor for tbe building of tbe English dockyards at Plymouth and tbe break rater at Fairfield as examples of work l putlio benefit that could not be ob- ained through private enterprise. I'he proposition is likely to give rise io considerable discussion and is re tarded with favor by many interested n tuo oilairs of tbe oommouwealth. Philadelphia Record. Locomotive Iluiltliug. It is a popular boliof that certain ihops can build a locomotive in twen ty-four working honrc According to Locomotive Lngineering, however, while it is possible to assemble the parts of a locomotive in less time than this, to build au engine from specifi cations requires much longer. Tbe record in this matter is probably held by the Baldwin Works, which on their first great I'utsiau order turned ont engines within four weeks alter tbe order was given, wheu European builders, according to this journal, wanted twice as many months. It takes four pattern-makers from six to eight weeks to make tho com plete set of patterns for a mogul-en gine. Two men will be ten or twelve days making tbe pattern for a cylinder and half -saddle and all-core boxes, so that locomotive builders are very ex peditious when th?y have an engine ready six weeks alter tbe specification have been received, especially with tho diverse forms aud special patterns now in vogue.

Motherhood A mother who Is in good physical to her children the Meanings of a good The child fairly drinks in health robust constitution before birth, nnd mother's milk after. Is not that, nu inecntivo to prepare maternity? I)o you know the meaning of what Is popularly called those " long ings," or cravings, which beset so many women during pregnancy? There Is somethltif lacking in tho mother's blood. Nature cries out and will be satisfied at nil hnzards. Ono woman wants sour things, another wants sweets, another wants salt things, and so on. The real need all tho titno Is to enrich the blood so ns to supply nourishment for another life, and to build up the cntlro generative system, so that the birth may bo possible and successful. If expectant mothers would fort ify themselves with L.vdia E. l'ink- hara's Vegetable Compound, which for twenty venrs has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would bo fewer disappointments at birth, and they would not experience those annoying "longings." In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkhnm, Mrs. Whitney demonstrates the power of the Compound in such cases. She says: " Prom the time I was sixteen years old till I Was twenty-three, I was troubled with weakness of the kidneys nnd U-rrible pains when my monthly periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Piukhnm's Vegetable Compound nnd was soon relieved. AfU'r I was mnrried, tho doctor said I would never bo able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was constitutionally weak. I had lost a next time I commenced at once and the period of pregnancy, and I said lived to be three months old, I should Seven months old and Is as healthy and . " I am so thankful that I used your medicine, for it gave , me the robust health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to youj I never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E. I'lnkham's Vegetable Compound, and may others who aro suffering do as I did nnd find relief, and may many homes be brightened as mine baa been," Mns. L. Z.
