1'arallrl Lines. EterT atuJent knows thai In close reasoning parallel lines of thought are laid down an 1 deductions educed. It ia not oar purpose at this time to enter Into a learned discussion, and we Uava drawn the above risible lines simply to Xirmg them prominently before your eye an 3 to ask what they represent to you. A railroad man to whom we showed them said, "To me those, four lines represent a double-track railway." A doctcr replied to the same Inter rogatory, "The lines are to me the larze arteries and veins lying alongside each o her In the human body." As will be observed the same lines to either gentleman suggested different tines of thought, as both looked at them through eyrs accustomed to see ' only that which for the moat part oc cupied their attention. To the writer both answers put an o'.d truth In a fresh and original Iitfht.

It has now become a much more uni form and satisfactory material than Iron, aud the only pi..t of practical importance left is the uVteriura'.ion which occasionally occurs when thicl; plates of steel are punched.

The pajHT then went on to cons' der the difference in cot between vessels built of iron and steel, which at the present rate a pars to be practically insiniticant. Ou the other band, strength is decidedly in favor of steel ships. It was a chance remark at a gun trial in France that gave Henry lSessemer the idea of Improving aud strengthen ing gun metal. He Incurred an immense outlay. He built furnace after furnace, he tried machine after machine, he took out patent after patent and he saw the money he had amassed by previous inventions fa.t melting away. After sundry partial successes he fell into disrepute aud was being sneered at by the iron manufac turers as an unpractical enthusiast, while the "Woolwich authorities had been snubbing him as a matter of course. A few months later Uesseroer had produced steel worth from JL-jO to 00 ptr ton from iron that only cost him 7. "lie could theu see in his mind's eye, at a glance, the great Iron industry of the world crumbling away under the irresistible force of the facts so recently elicited." "Fourteen years afterward these experimental works were sold for exactly twenty four times the whole subscribed capital or the firm, after returning Ufty-seven fold," and the manufacture he origi nated is now estimated to be worth no less than .20,000, UUO yearly The Danish astronomer, Olanus Iso mer, made the discovery of the velocity of light while taking observations of the eclipse of Jupiter's satellites in 1676. He found that the eclipses of the satellites seemed to be retarded as the earth moved farther away from the planet; that they occurred too soon when the earth was nearest and too late when It was farthest away from Jupiter. The astronomer found that this retardation of the occurrence of the eclipses could only be accounted for satisfactorily by the time that the light would take in crossing the earth's orbit, and that, calculating the time occupied in accomplishing this, the velocity of hht was 192,300 miles a second. The best determinations made by the more accurate observations of modern times make the velocity about S6.300 miles a second. A comparatively fresh field of research has been pointed out to anthropolo gists by Trot. Klebs, of Zurich, in a recent paper on the transformations of the human race as a result mainly of pathological influences, which was read by him at the late Freiburg meet ing of the Swiss Scientltlt Association, and which has since excited deep atten tion among naturalists throughout Europe. Writing in the Bulletin of the Royal Academy of Belgium, M. E. Delavaux concludes, from blocks of Scandinavian granite found in Limberg, in East Flanders, at Wachtebeke, and other places, that during the ice age glacia tlon extended over the whole of Neth erlands Belgium and the shallow or exposed lauds now flooded by the North sea, terminating on the pla ns of Norfolk and Suffolk, in England. At Louisville, Ky., reoently, over three hundred fire-alarm boxes were wholly or partly destroyed in conse quence of an electric light wire cross ing the Ore signal wire. The connec tions were melted. Trjintf to B-at an Agent It was on a Saturday moralng when the patent egg-beater man put in an appearance at neighbor I'lilpp's bouse, and Mrs. Thlpps was op to ber elbows in work when he appeared at the sitting room door. He was tall and lank and lean; his mouth was all puckered, as if be bad been fed on prunes, and be bad only one eve, which be fixed sol emnly on Mrs. I'bipr. "A fine day, madam. I called to show you a most beautiful invention." Here be took from bis pocket a tin runnel with a stick in it. "It is the patent Instantaneous eg-beater. You put in your egg, stir this stick around a few seconds, aud there's your erg all in a froth. It's a real boom to woman, ma m. Only on-) dollar each. Of course you wan't it, ma'am." "No. I don't," said Mrs. ndpps, slamming the door in h's face. Then she hurried back to the kitchen, and as she came in one door that enter prising patent egg-beater man entered at the other. Coolly tAkinz chair, be remarked: "As I was raying, ma'am. It's one of the wonders of the age. Jest give me an eg?, an I'll show you bow it works." and be rolled that cue eye around the room. 1 haven't got any ezgs." snapped Mrs. I'hipps; "aud if 1 had you wouldn't get 'em." "A little soapy water M Co. ma'am; and you must see this beautiful instru ment in motion. There isn't any soapy water," said Mrs. Thipps, grimly; aud you'd better go." Just then old Speckle raised a furious "cut-cut-k-a-dar-cut" out in the ben yard, and If that agent didn't just get up and rush out there, an i come In. smiling with an egg in bis baud in less than a second I "Now, ma'am, jest see the beauty of this arrangement. I break the egg, so then I whisk this little stick, and prestol there's your froth, all reaiy. No more aching arms or lame wrists. One for a dollar. Will you take one, ma'am?" "Now, see here," said Mrs. Thipps. decidedly, "I don't want one of them, arid 1 wouldn't have one ir you'd give it to me; so take yourself bff." "Au J, ma'am, say you must have ore, and I'm a goin to sell you one of tl:ese inventions be: ore I leave town; you'd better take one now, ma'am," lie repl'e 1. mourutully lixiug that one eye on her. "I tea you I'll die Drstl" cried Mrs. rhlpis, excitedly. 'Now you 6kip!" Mis. I'hipps was a spunky woman, but she wasn't a match for that egg beater man, for after she had driven him out of the kitchen with the toast ing rolfc. he Pereuely perc!ied himself on the bick fence and explained the merits of h s wares, aud every time a ben would lay an t gg he wod rush out to the ben yard, capture Uie egg, and run it through bis beater. It was no use for Mrs. 1'blpps to throw tliiDgs at hini; he'd smile blindly when a flat iron nent whizzing by bis head, and woik the beater harder than ever, aud as for pie tins, old shoes, and ! other snia 1 articles, they fell like! snow-Cakes about him; and ail the while be roosted on tiiat fence and rattled that eg bcater faster than a telegraph machine. When Mr.i'tnpps came home at noon, he eaiil the house looked as if the bl zzitrd or hist March had blown through the kitchen. Everything was out in the back yard, and Mrs. Thipps was trying to pull the stove legs off to ti row them at the agent, who sat coolly stirring bis etfg-beatrr. and staring at the scene w.th that solitary eye. Thipps hid brought his bull dog with him, aud at his wife's Older., set him on that ant-tit. egg beater aud all; but the dog w limed, diew buck, and finally sneaked off, with his tall between his Ug-. ami hid in the cellar. Theu I'hipps got his shot gun, and while be was trying to load it, the agent got another egg and beat it up; then be got quietly down from the fence, raying, as it was noon he would leave them vhile be got his dinner, aud then he would come back and describe the l-eauties of his egg beater to Mr. Thiprs. He knew they'd make a trade; be saw it in Mr. Thipps' intelligent eye. Well, at half-past one there he was again. I'hipps was conquered, and wanted to buy; but Mrs. I'hipps had got her dander up aul said again she'd die first. Well, she did die, sure enough, and this was how it happened. That ageLt just laid siege to Thipps. He was there the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. A dozen times a day he'd ring the door bell, and when Mrs. Thipps would appear he'd fix that solitary eye on her and tiegin to work that patent egg-beater. Mrs. 1 hii( nailed up the front door, and be went to the back door. She fastened up that doer, and they all used the outside cellar-way, until the agent took to sitting on the top stair and slinking that beater at Mrs. I'hipps, Then that cellar-way was nailed up. and the family got out of the windows onto the back shed; but that smart chap got a tent aud put it up on the back shed roof, just where be could look right in Thipps' window. That was too much for Mrs. Thipps. She Uok to her bed in disgust, and died in thtea days, and tte very last thing she saw before Bhe breathed her last, was that patent egg-btater In full operation at the window. I'hipps did the thing up handsomely. for Mrs. Thipps had a first-class fuu- eral silver-handled coffin, plate-glass. and all the rest of the fixings. As Aunt Tolly said, 'She orter le a proud and tliauklul woman to think of the way I'hipps put her under the sod." Some fo'ks blamed the agent, but 1 hipi s didn't. He said he "s posed the man'd got to tend to business any how, an' JeruBha was always dreadful set In her way." And then the agent showed he was a good fellow, for be hired one of the best carriages and beaded the proces sion, keeping bis beater flying like mad all the way; and when the cervices were eoncluded anil folks were reviewing the rem tins, he got up, egg-beater and all, and made a most touching speech as a tribute to the dear, departed lady. etc. lie spoke of the cause of her sudden taking off, and said she would have b.-en able to go to some one else's funeral if she bad only taken Mr, Thlpii's ndvtce and bought a patent lustant-iiieous egg-beater. a- dollar apiece," instead of killing herself stlr riiitr eggs the old way. His remarks made a great impres sion, and he sold four of the beaters right in church and two more on the way to the cemetery. Everybody in the village baa an egg-beater now. Mrs. I'hipps' fate proved a warning. At the head of Mrs. Thipps grave the bereaved husband put a nice stone, with an egg-beater on it, and under It the lnscnptior: "DIED TKTIXO TO BEAT AX AOEXT." The first poignont pangs of his sorrow are at last over, and now be Is courting l he Widow Bobbin. An Euglish doctor reports the case of a lady who bad regular recurring series of abscesses upon the ankles. On entering ber sitting-room -one day he noticed a pair of ber shoes, and. on the impulse of the moment, he directed bis patient to nse a large, broad-heeled shoe. She did so, aud has bad no trouble for two years. Her former hoes bad a long, taperinz heel, set pearly in the middle of the sole. HOUSEHOLD. CirAlL a la daube.

FA KM NOTES. Flantixo Good Seed. While It Is ofteu true that farmers are Jhj care less in selecting pure seed, or, say the best they can get, it is also a fact that, as a ceueral thing, it is incurring un necessary expense to send away for a great variety ot seeds. It Is a common error to suppose that anything that will crow at all. Is good enough to plant. Seed corn should be carefully selected at the proper time. By a little extra trouble in this direction, the corn may be gradually improved from year to j ear, and will by no means be found running out. In almost every field of corn there Is a rich spot, or place where the corn seems to come much nearer to tbe point of perfection, and with some extra cultivation, fertil zing and care a superior quality will be tbe result of every effort. While on the other hand, without attention, tbe best seed may soon be entirely run out, and in one-half tlie time it takes to build it up. The plan of plaDt ng potatoes that are too small to market, is gener ally regarded as economical; b-tt In reality, it proves to be quite the con trary. Although the Saving In valu able seed apiears to overbalance the loss from the planting of that which is inlenor, it is but temHrary gain, and the final results are fatal. Experiments s!iow that cultivation heueiils the crop in more ways than by the destruction of weeds, though if the weeds and grass are kept down the corn crop will be much benefitted, as the weeds rob the plants of moisture exist ing in Die soil. The moisture rises to the surface by force of capillary at traction, the compacted earth being porous. It the earth is covered by any substance evaporation is thereby lessened, and the water is turned into the stalks cf the plants. When the ground is loosened, or the surface of the soil broken, it becomes a dry mulch and prevents evaporation in the same manner as though a covering was afforded. It Is not necessary to culti vate deeply. What is required Is to keep the surface soli loose, thus pre venting evaporation of moisture and enabling the crop to endure severe drought. The earth itselr Is converted into a storehouse of moisture, and the soil should be cultivated and loosened eveu if not a weed can be seen. Wuere to liciLD A Ten. Tbe farmer's pig pen should be located at a considerable distance from the bouse, and In a direction from which the pre vailing winds will not waft the odors toward it. lter still, the bad smells should be reduced to a minimum by cleanliness and deodorizing at the pen. This is easily done and profitably, too, by throwing in a few shovelfuls of dry earth on that portion where the pigs resort, so that their manure Is mixed up with it in the pen, and still more thoroughly when the pea is cleaned out. Kvery pen should be constructed so it can bs cleaned out from one of the sides without entering It at alL Enough space should be left between the floor aud the siding for introducing a long handled scraper or boe for tbe purpose of cleaniug it out If the pen has beeu liberally supplied with dry earth, bad odors will be prevented and the value of manure increased. The Wool Ixdustrt. A writer who signs himself Vermonter," In discussing tbis subject says: The ex tension of our vast country is limitless for wool growing, aud our natural grazing lands for sheep cannot be more profitably utilized. The wool is needed and must be had. and from what source? While we are waiting for this great and vital question to be de cided, let us not allow our flocks to de teriorate iu any particular. Let us exercise the best of care in breeding aud feeding, and thereby avert a sacri fice which represents so many years of judicious handling and constant care. Let each one weigh the question welU" Varieties of Corx To Use. It is well to advise corn growers to use oniy seed from corn that is adapted to the section. While there are varieties that may yield more, yet tbe period when such a variety matures must be kept in view, as the frost may overtake a variety not suitablo to the section. Tbe main point is to give the young coru a gool start, and to have it as well grown as possible before summer, if this is done, and the soil kept loose, the drought will have but little effect upon iu Uox't have two cocks running In one pen. They will fight constantly at this season if good for anything, and each will run to interfere with the other at a critical moment. It you've got two cocks In one pen you will get more chickens tbis season, and a good dinner now, by making a potpleof one, and giving tbe other full range. Cruelty to animals does not al ways consist in clubbing and beating them. It may be, and quite otten is doue in ftediug. What can be more barbarous than to keep stock confined in close quarters all winter, with but one or two kinds of food, and with little or no exercise? Select seed corn carefully from the best stalks, choosing the choicest ears, and then hang them in a per fectly dry place where they cannot freeze. Knitting Silk has been found to wash better than embroidery silk, and so makes more serviceable outlining on damask cloths for the figure. Mono grams on doylies are worked with yel low silk. In large letters, at the middle. Have all your bens laying now. Go to work with them, and feed to pro duce eggs. If you are a market poulter er. One fresh egg In winter is worth twice as much In tbe market as tbe ilmed one. Some farmers are selling eggs right along at 30 to 5'J cents a dozen, and others are wondering why their hens don't lay except when egns are 10 cents a dozen. Warmth and a -vriety of food make Vm difference. Spring Medicine. Last apnng I waa co-rp'.etely fagged oat.
