TIIK compulsory education act goes into efl'ect in New York on the 1st of January next. This bill requires that every person having control or charge of child between the ages of eight and fourteen years shall see that such child has fourteen weeks' schooling each year, •eight weeks of which must be consecutive. The penalty for not doing this is one dollar for the first offense and five ulollars for each week of neglect afterward, making a total of sixty-six dollars.

If a child does not attend school, it may be taken charge of by the school authorities and sent to a truant school. It is also provided that no person or company shall employ any child between the ages of eiglit and fourteen years in any business whatever during school hours, unless the child has had in the year immediately preceding such employment, fourteen weeks' schooling.

"The whole city can go back on me if it chooses," said Mr. Wickham, "but I want it distinctly understood that I have determined to have no shoulder hitters, polit-. ieal hangers on, or incompetent persons about me.

"See," I said, when Johnny relumed with the board and laid on the table, "when one builds a fire on the ice lie first lays down a lew lame pieces—so— to make sort of heart, iheu he piles the lighter stuir on top."

While speaking, brokeofl .some pieces of kindling wood, and piled up the chip* and shavings, as il were really going to build a lire on the ice. "Now get me a match, please."

Jonny brought me a match and looked on in atna/.emecii as 1 struck ic and set fire to thc chips I had piled up on the board. "You'll set the house afire," he cried. "I guess not," 1 replied, "if we are carelul. .See," I continued, dropping some bits of light paper on the board, how the cool air rushes in at the bottom of the fire and sucks the paper into the flame. The blaze rushes up. so that it Is very hot above, but below tiie fire is scarcely warm enough to scorch the board."

The fire soon burned down without doing any damage, leaving only a layer of smoldering coals. As I swept them into the stove I said ".See, the bottom sticks are only partially burned, and the board below them is simply charred a little where the coals dropped upon it. If the board had been damp, like the ice, the coals would have been quickly put out, and after that scarcely any heat would have got through to the ice." "So it wasn't the water under the fire that kept the ice from melting," said Ma ry, who had beei. pretending to study her lesson all the time. "Not altogether," 1 replied, though it helped, no doubt." "Does water ever s'0] heat?" Johnny asked, thinking of his own experiments. "Tosome extent it does," I replied "to a great extent if the water is connected with a larger body of water, or if the heat is great enough to turn a portion of

Johnny and Mary stood by to see what would happen. 1 stripped the batting Irom the boitie and found ihe glass cracked Irom lop to bottom. '•Hurst, said Alary. "That's what I heard," said Johnny. "Why doesn't the water spill.'"' said Mary. "It's dried up," said Johnny. "What do you call that?" said I, as he clipped oil'the glass, and rolled something clear and hard across the lable. "Why, I d-chfc," cried the excited Mary, "it's ice." "ice?" echoed Johnny! turning it over with his fingers cautiously. "'.So it is. Where did it come from "Out of the bottle," said I., "You saw me lake it out." "I know," said Johnny, "but how did it get there V' "It froze there," I said. "It was water when it went in." "Froze inside a hot stove exclaimed Mary. "That is wonderful." "What made it freeze there?" Johnny asked. "I'jvaporation," said I. "1 should like to see it done again," said Johnny, sucking the. roll of ice as though it was a stick ol candy.

An Industrious People. I Every Swiss city and large town has its special industry. Some excel in one! branch of manufacture and some in another but, taken in their entirety, they! aggregate a very respectable production for so small a nation. While the Swiss raise more than enough meat, butler and "CD I—1—I cheese lor tlieir own consumption, they I Sr •V' are obliged to import about ],.r)00,000 barrels ol flour per annum from France I and Germany. Nor do they grow wool enough io clothe themselves but from: the proceeds of their sale of silk and cot-1 ton "fabrics, of embroidery, watchcs, jew-1 elry, chemicalsand wood engravings,'.they are abundantly able to supply all their wants in the shape of imported goods and food. The Swiss are certainly the most industrious people in the world, as well' as the most frugal. Everybody works— men, women and children.
