"Respected Dr. Kilmer A Co., Ilinghamton.N.

We also used V o'clock at night they carry the towels to the rooms, turn down the beds, see that there is fresh water, and find out whether anything is wanted. I want to show you this parlor," said the housekeeper, who, during the conver sation, had conducted tho reporter down to the second floor. "1 have left my keys upstairs, but—" and she gave two sharp claps with her hands. A girl at the other end of the hall turned and came hack quickly. "I see that you havo your pretty parlor locked," said the housekeeper. "That's right. I like to havo you care ful. I want to show it now, however, and have left my keys up stairs." "Oh, all right!" said the girl. "But Bhnre, yon know, these people do make me mad. They come up sayin' they've a permit from the office, and they go in with their drippin' umbrellas, and they set down with their wet clotheH right oil my satin chairs, and they make me tired!" The girl dusted the gorgeous gilt furniture as she spoke. The house keeper, meanwhile, was glancing critically around with the eagle eye before mentioned. "What's this stain, Mary?" she said, pointing to a faint spot on one of the chairs. "Oh, now, will you look at that? Shure, it's that woman from Philadel phi. They come in at midnight last night, and their clothes—they was that wet with the rain that I thought sure they'd walked across the North Biver. An' they said the same old thing #1 tout a permit from "the office, an they felt o' the walls an' tried the piano—" "Who left it open now, Mary?" asked the housekeeper reprovingly as 1 she closed it. I "Shure, I think that woman did, for when ail J sat down in this ohair with them wet clothes o' hers, I forgot every thing else." ••Well, be as careful as you can, Mary. What arc these marks on tho door?" pointing to several deep scratches in the mahogany. "Oh, I see. It opens against this table. Move that a little and I will have a protector put in. Humph ! that table needs a cover." And so it weiit. The housekeeper took the reporter into a number of rooms, and in each one she made a note of from one to half a dozen things de manding attention. Several hotels were visited by the re porter, but the duties of the house keeper and her corps of workers were practically the same in all.—New York Sun. The Hazard of Whale Fishing. It seems astonishing that men should be willing to adopt so hazardous a method of getting a living as whaling is nowadays in the far northern waters of Arctic Alaska. But the risks do not deter the bold hunters from pursuing these valuable mammals into the most remote accessible regions of eternal ice. Annually they follow the whales around the most northern extremity of tho American continent, and some vessels have even ventured to pass the winter in the Arctic Ocean. Tlie value of the fishery consists not so much in tho oil taken as in the whalebone, which is obtained from the mouth of the animal. This is worth from $4.50 to $5 a pound. The product cf a fair sized bow-head whale at present prices will fetch about SBOOO. A good sized whale weighs 150 tons, and yields about 2000 pounds of whalebone. His tongue is fifteen feet long, eight feet thick and gives twelves barrels of oil. His open mouth is from fifteen to twenty feet across. The blubber forms a coat around him from ten to twenty two inches thick. It is four feet from tho outside of tho body to his heart, and the latter organ is 210 cubic feet in size. His brains will fill a barrel. A few years ago whales wero plenti ful in the North Pacific, Bering and Oshkosli seas. The steady pursuit of them has driven them into the Arctic Ocean, where they try in vain to find a safe refuge in the ice. In 1852 tho whaling fleet of tho Pacific comprised 278 vessels, and the value of the catch was $14,000,000. That was probably the most profitable year of the indus try in thoso waters. Since then it has decreased, until in 1862 the value of tho catch was less than SBOO,OOO. At present there are only about fifty ves sels engaged in the business yearly. The whaling ships are manned on the co-operative pluu. Tho men instead of receiving regular wages get a per centage of the profits.—Washington Star. Good Treo to Hare About, A great deal of attention is being at tracted to a treo indigenous to New Caledonia, called the niaouly. It has hitherto been known mostly for the oil of cajeput, which it furnishes to the perfume makers, but other and mar velous properties of it have lately been discovered. It is said that its leaves, besides furnishing a pleasant aromatic adjunct for sauces will keep meat from spoiling, and exercise over the country about it the same whole some influence as the eucalyptus. The oscence is employed medically for rheumatic ailments, with even more success than therebenthine. In Cale donia the niaouly enjoys the reputa tion of rendering healthy every terri tory in which it is introduced. This is undoubtedly true, for in all parts of New Caledonia where this tree is at home the fever is not known at all. The New Hebrides, not far from New Caledonia, are also in possession of this health-preserving mascot. Tlio anti septic properties of the oily essence of niaouly, abundantly contained in the leaveH, are very great, and wherever they happen to fall into the swamps, morasses or rivulets they disinfect the water completely. Like the eucalyptus, the niaouly needs plenty of sunshine. The seeds, which are very fine, must be carefully sown and covered with about an inch of earth. It is best to do this in the months of May, June and July. By December they will have advanced enough to bo planted in the | place whore they are destined to grow, i The treo is easily acclimatized, and in the warmer countries can bo made as much at home as in its native soil.— New Orleans Picayune. A Big Halibut, There was landed recently at Strom ness, Orkney, a halibut of extraordin ary dimensions, measuring six feet ten inches in length, and weighing no less than 215 pounds. The fish was discov ered by two lads who were engaged in hauling lobster creels at the back of the Holms, a distance of about a mile and a half from Stromness 'Pier. It was observed in the sand apparently j asleep, and as they had no appliances with which to attempt a capture, they marked the spot and returned home to acquaint their father. Armed with u kind of harpoon, to I which a line was attached, they went back to the place and found that tlio huge fish had not moved; carefully watching an opportunity the father I succeeded in planting the harpoon in | the back of the halibut. The. weapon I entered the spine and rendered the fish powerless, but on account of its size | and weight it was only after consider- I able difficulty that it was got on board. It i >roved a splendid specimen of the ! halibut, and was in a first-rate con dition. In its stomach was found a variety of small fish, which weighed upward of six pdutfds. It was at once carefully packed and despatched by steumship and rail to the London mar ket. —London Field. ! Queen Victoria suffers from rheu i matism, not from nervous tension, as | was reported. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. j An electric railroad is one of the eights of Siaui. The Greenwich clock was electrically connected with several London rail- j way clocks in 1860. j Scientists affirm that ico frozen at zero temperature is more durable than that which forms when the mercury is above that point. Tho Lancet sayd that Egypt as re gards sanitation is now about on a level with what England was in the days of Queen Elizabeth, when tho mortality of London was forty-five per 1000. It has been determined that the tem perature of an _eleetrio arc light re mains constant at about 3500 degrees. This temperature connot be iucreased or diminished by changing the size or amperage of the arc. It has long been known to architects that the perpendicularity of monu ments is affected by the rays of the sun. This phenomenon is due to the greater expansion of the side upon which the sun's rays fall. A remarkable increase in the use of oil as a fuel on Russian railroads is shown by recent statistics. In 1881 there were used 1914 tons of naphtha, while in 1890 there were used 291,307 tons of naphtha and naphtha residues. A Freneh novelty in the way of a timepiece is a floral clock, the long lmnds of which sweep above twelve flower beds, each bed being different from all the others in color and varie ty of flower. The hands nre moved by subterranean mechanism. The smallest holes pierced by mod ern machinery are one-thousandth of on inch in diameter. Thisdrilling ap paratus, which was tho invention of one John Wennstrom, is designed to make 22,000 revolutions per minuto and is used in boring sapphires, rubies, diamonds and other gems. It is estimated that tho Mississippi River annually discharges into the Gulf of Mexico 19,500,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. Of this prodig ious quantity the l-200th part will bo sediment. Thus the Mississippi River annually deposits alone into the Gulf of Mexico sufficient mud to cover a square mile of surface to o height of 240 feet. It is a well-known fact that heavenly bodies invisible to the hnman eye, even when assisted by the most power ful telescope, may be detected by the photograpio plate. A practical illus tration of tho valuo of photography in this connection is found in the ex perience of March, when no fewer than eighteen small planets wero detected photographically. Twelve of these were discovered by M. Charlois, at Nice. Dr. E. Hutchinson said, in a recent lecture before tho Royal Institution, nt London, that with an electric motor a speed of 1000 miles an hour could be obtained—"though beyond that point they perhaps entered the rogion of projectiles rather than of locomotives." This remarkable speed is obtainable because of the great advantage of the purely rotary motion of an electrical motor over the reciprocal motion of the piston and connecting rod of tho steam locomotive. Something wonderful in the elock line baa been conatructed by a mechan ic in Warsaw, Poland. It represents a railway station with a clock tower giving the time in four countries. Trains run into or depart from the station every fifteen minutes. Station agents, telegraphers, ticket sellers, with lineß of passengers, are seen in action, and the usual hustle and tumult of a station are hcord and seen, hells ringing, whistles blowing, etc. The Garden Way. In a little village in Sussex, England, there is a veritable milky way of lilies, where thousands of white blossoms shed their perfumo and where women gardeners tend and pnek and ship the fragrant products. Twenty-five years ago a single lily bulb was given to Mrs. Bates, a larmer's daughter, who tended the gift with the care women bestow on flowers, and when sixteen bulbs had resulted from the original one, and Mrs. Bates, finding that her chil dren, ns she called them, had outgrown the sunny window where they grew, she planted them in tho corner of the garden. Ten years ago a daughter of Mrs. Bates, inspired by the enterprise of the time, sent some blossoms to the London market, and now, in associa tion with her sisters, has mndu tho Bates lilies famous for their beauty and perfection. The daughters are keen business women, interviewing their buyers at the six o'clock market, selling without interference of agents to private customers, florists and com mission merchants. The averago pro duct is COO dozens a week, which aro packed by women in the gardens. | Women are taking up floriculture to a j considerable extent in England, and at the Horicultural College landscape and kitchen gardening aro taught by lectures, demonstrations and practical work. It is an interesting fact that applications are received nt the college faster than the women can be trained. —Praijie Farmer. llow to Secure Confidence. This from an authority: "Don't jik questions, don't mention names, listen occasionally, and you will find yourself a socioty favorite." The first "don't" seems to have been most cor rectly placed. There is nothing which creates a pleasanter impression, and which really leads to tho most complete confidence than tho tact which listens sympathetically to all a companion will say, but never probes deeper by an impulsive interrogation. One learns to trust such an ncquaintace, and feels in her company a peculiar senso of se curity that is very satisfying.—Brook lyn Citizen. A inra Mory. , Will you allow me to add a touching instance of courage to your pleasant bird stories? Early one morning last iummer I was called to the window by a great noise among tho bird people of the garden, and saw tho following •cene. A young blackbird was stand ing fascinated by a cat, who was crouched under a bush ready to spring on him. An old blackbird, on an ilex close by, was uttering loud and agi tated cries, and there was a general cackle of anger and sympathy from other birds all around. After a few seconds the cat sprang on the yoting bird and held him down. At that in stant tho old bird came down on them, j There was a moment's struggle, tho j bird boating her wings violently in tho i cat's face, and, I think, pecking at her | eyes; then tho cat jumped back to her j bush, the young bird made off with ! long hops, and the old one ilew up to ; tho ilex, amid a jubilant chorus of commendation which lasted quite somo minutes. I never saw this before, though I have seen a robin come quite close to a cat stalking another bird ud scold and flap her wings in her face. The ways of birds aro delightful, and in a small garden you can have many by keeping eartheuware saucers full of water for them to bathe in. London Spectator. Commerce ol Long Island Sound. "The American coast has many fail spots, but its gilt edge, so to speak, is the country bordering on Long Island Sound," said Captain Charles Hcrvey Townsend, of Connecticut. The captain is famous ns tho projector and persis tent promoter of the great breakwatei now being constructed by the Govern ment ot New Haven. "It is a grand work," said he, "and will be of immense benefit to the coun try I have just eulogized. The break wnter will be about two and a hall miles long, and will give us a roadstead of ten square miles, in which tho fleet! of tho world may float securely. "At low tide there will be eigl\l fathoms of water. About one milo ol tho work is finished, and to complett it will cost, according to the estinifties, 02,200,000. Its greot utility will he appreciated when I tell you that the valuo of the shipments to New York viß Long Island Sound aro greater than tho total of that which comes in by way of Sandy Hook.
