In a recent lecture before the llcxtl Institution of Imdou. Sir William Thomson presented four lines of argu ment by which physicists have been enabled to estimate the size of mole eule9the invisible particles which ue supposel to constitute all matter. Stated roughly, it Is shown by this rea wnli:g, with a lii?h degree of proba bility that. In ordinary liquids, trans parent solids or seemingly opaque sol Ida, the average distance between the centres ot contiguous molecules is less than one two-mlllioiith of an inch and ftrea.er than one four huudred-mil-ilonth of an inch. If a globe of water or glass mx and one-third inches in iliameter were magmued to the size of the earth, the sine of each constituent molecule being increased in the same proportion, then the maguilied mass would lie more oarse grained tiuin a heap of small shot, but probably leoS coarse grained than a heap of six and a third inch globes. Si'juor Tn.sf '.'( is reported to have in vented an apparatus for exploring the depths of the ocean without danger or Inconvenience. It is about 25 feet in height, and constructed of steel plate, with gun metal easting. It is calcula ted to resist a pressure of ISO pounds to the square inch, so as to be able to at tain a depth of 0 fathoms. The inter nal space is divided Into two compart ments at the bottom a chamber capa ble of being e:ilar:ted or contracted by a flexible diaphragm so as to increase or diminish the volume ot water displaced. aud thus permit oi rising or sinking; a room capable of holding eight explorers, occupying the central portion of the spheroid, ami provided with lenses, so as to iiTinit of looking out; aud the upper spare reserved for those entrusted with mai.ie ivrmg the vessel. A power ful electric I.iujp is to shed its rays all around the apparatus for a cemuderera ble area, and te'.egiaphic and telephonic wire will place those In tne vessel in communication with the steamer from which it is intended to be suspended. HOUSEHOLD. A pretty pocket-handkerchief sach et may be made 12 inches square bring ing the comers Into the centre, sewing three together and leaving one to turn back envelope fashion. Quilted silk or satin looks best for this. with, either a spray embroidered in the centre or each diamond formed by the quilting, or a pearl or other bead at each intersection. Glove boxes are now made as long as an eight-button glove, and just an inch wider; they are made in card-board, covered with satin and edged with cord, the top forming the lid. A good cheap oak stain is made oi equal parts of American potasn and pearl ash, two ounces of each to a quart of water. As American potash Is a solvent, care must be taken to keep It from the hands, and an old brush should be used, as it is of no good after wards. This stain can be kept corked in a bottle, and is useful to have in the house in ease the floors are scratched, when It may be used to repair them, if the color is too deep, it may te weaken ed with water. rKtsF-KViN-o Eoos.

The jars must be cov ered from air and light. Fifteen pounds lime, nine gallons of water, four hand fu's of salt, will preserve thirty dozen eggs. Lemon Jelly Cake.

An old farmer being aked why Ills boys stayed at home whet: others did not, replied that It was owing to the fact that be always tried to make borne pleasant for them. Ue furnished them with attractive and useful reading, and when night came and the day's labor was ended. Instead of running with other boys to tie ra.l way station and adjoining towns, they gathered around the great lamp, and became absorbed in their books and papers. His boys were still at home when the oldest was 21, while those who were furnished with no reading at home, sought city life and city dissipa tions as soon as they were seventeen or eighteen. All will do well to heed this testimony of a farmer who has known bow bard the struggle for a footing ou a Tree soil wi thout capital, is, and bow valuable and comparatively cheap are the aids whxli good reading brings to lmn. In this age of general intelli gence, the mind must be catered to, and books and papers furnished; and. not only this, but in this age of cheap and artistic chronics, pictures can also be bought to nse in making home at tractive. The farmer's life is the most independent of any and there is no reason why it may net be as attractively surrounded. By planning for the arrival of colts in the Hutu'un. ti e work ot the team will only be lost for a few days at a seasou whea its loss will cause but a little inconvenience. Experience proves that mates in foal, if liberally fed and attended to by a careful man, may be worked, and worked hard, without detriment to themselves or their foals, but while sucking the colts, they must be worked only moderately, or the supply of milk will be diminished in quantity and injured in quality, to the lasting disadvantage of the colts. Give them generous treatment, and never allow one to receive a blow, always re membering that pluck, courage and de termination are as necessary in a horse as in a man. and that be will surely lack them if his spirit is broken by cruel treatment, close confinement or insufficient food. The value of the thoroughbreds con sists in their adaptation to certain spe cial purposes, but no breed excel in all the desirable qualities. By judicious selection and crossing, however we are enabled to take advantage of the ability of an animal to transmit Its character istics to its offspring, and thereby blend several good qualities in one animal. The short-horn and Hereford having been bred for the production of beef, are not well litted for the dairy. but when united with the smaller breeds the offspring are more active. aud while serving well for the dairy still combine many points possessed by the beef producing breeds. .1 Km.' ion has ugain been called this time by Mons. J. Girard to the sup posed changes of level of the earth's surface reported from certain parts of Europe. Villages iu the Jura which were hidden from each other no longer than forty years agu, ha-. gradually risen iu sight, while la a village of Bohemia the inhabitants now see half of a distant church-splie, ot which only the top was visible thirty years ago. The apparent rising ot these places must, it is thought, be a result of the warping ot the solid crust ot the earth. To detect further changes in the lioheurau locality a line ot levels has been run. To Vary the Flavor toe Roast tF Keck. This can be done by squeez ing the juice of half a lemon over It aud putting the other half inside the roast. Another way is to put half of a carrot, one small onion, and a little parsley In the dripping pan and lay the roast over it. l)o not be led by any bad adviser to put one drop of water into your dripping pan until you have tiled the experiment of roasting beef in this way. It makes a striking dif ference in the flavor of the meat. The outside browns over quickly, the juice H all kept within, and the meat is ten der In consequence of this. Kick Fritters.

When cotton and wool are combined he sub jects the maten.il to superheated steam under a pressure of uve atmospheres. The wool soon melts and falls to the bottom of the vessel, leaving the cetton or other vegetable libre clean and in a condition suitable for paper-making. Afterward the melted wool Is evapo rated to dryness, when it becomes completely soluble In water and is called azotine a substance very rich In nitrogtm and ot great agricultural importance. Ir. I P.

King of 1'ersla, according to Xeuopaon. was brought up on a diet of wnter, bread aud cresses, till up to his 15th year, when honey and raisins were added; and the family names of Fabll and Lentuli. Among the Romans, were derived from their customary and possibly exclusive diet of beans and lentils. Eggs and apples, with a little bread, were for centuries the alpha and omega of a Roman dinner, and. In earlier times, even bread and turnips, if not turnips alone, which the patriot Cincinnatus thought suf ficient for his wants. It is singular tiiat our temperance societies direct th- efforts only against the fluid part of our diet; a league of temperate eaters would certainly find a large field for reform. But in Italy the thing was attempted by a Venetian nobleman of the fifteenth century, who restricted himself to a dally allowance of ten ounces of solid food, and six ounces of wine, and prolonged his life to s2 years. Though he did not or ganize bis followers Into a society, his example and his voluminous writ ings influenced the manners of bis country for many years. He would not have gained many members in Russia and Germany; but throughout Southern Europe frugality, in the truest old Latin sense, is by no me ins rare. Lacour, a Marseilles 'longshoreman, earned from 10 to 23 fraucs a day, loaned money on interest, and gave alms, but slept at night in bis basket, and subsisted on 14 onions a day, which preserved him in excellent health aud humor. A pound of biead with six ounces of jwor cheese, and such berries as the roadside may offer, constitute the daily rations of the Turkish soldier on the march. A correspondent of a London paper was served with a dish of radishes in a Cat alon tavern, in Spain, and ventured to remark that radishes were taken after meals In .Northern Europe. "You can get some more after finishing these," was the reply. The radishes consti tuted the dinner. 2ot that men should, but that they can live on bread alone. Is abundantly proved by the records of the Old World prisons. Silvio Fellico. the Italian pa triot, subsisted for 6even years on coarse, rye bread and water, which ex perience bad taught him to prefer to the putrid pork soup of his Austrian baatile. The prisouers of the Khedive were fed on rice and Indian corn, till the prayers of the French residents and his American officers induced him to sweeten their bitter lot by a weekly bottle of diluted molasses. Fedor Iarapski. born in 1774, in Eastern l'oland, was brought to the government of .Novgorod lu bis twenty second year as a conscript to the Uus- sian army, aud was soon alter sent enced to death for mutiny and assault with intent to kill. The Empress Catherine, acting ou a recommenda tion of the Governor of Novgorod, commuted bis sentence to imprison ment for life, but ordered that on every anniversary of the deed, (an attempt to kill his colonel), the convict should receive forty lashes and be kept on half rations for a week alter; the full ration being two pounds of black bread and a jug of cold water, un these terms Iarapski was boarded till ISCd, when at the approach of Lis ninetieth birth day he was again recommended to mercy, and liberated by order of the late Czar. Even the story of Nebuchadnezzar may be more than an allegory, as the wild berries, roots, and grass seeds of the Assyrian valleys contained surely as much nourishment as sour rye bread, and who knows but grass itself might do for a while, since the Slavon ian peasants often subsist for weeks at time on Bauer crout and cabbage soup.
