Edna White In Schoolday Visitor. 1 Karly in 18 a squatter built his cabin on tho banks of the White Water. For many years he enjoyed his solitary life undisturbed by human habitation. Iiis chief subsistence was wild meats of tho forests. Once a year he went to the f jrt to exchange his furs lor cotlee and tobacco. In personal appearance he bora a strong resemblance to the picture of llobinson Ousoo. His lon straight hair falling below his shoulder?, a ebirt made fait at the waist by a leather girdle, the hunting knifo dangling at hüä ride; moccasins of nis own make and a coon skin cap completed his coetumo lie roamed the forest at will or fijhed in the stream that ran by his cabin. The birds sang their noonday song from his cabin roof; and sq-iirreU held high carnivals in the branches above his head. In tho Bunmir evenings he would sit at his open 'door und watch the sun fink to his firey bed; whilo the blue smoke from his pipe curled in wreaths above his hettd. The Bilcnce was -only broken by the lonely notes of tho whippoorwill and tho doleful hoots ot the owl. One morning tha squatter was surprised by by a party of men emerging from tho river, lie thought they were coming directly to his cabin; but, to his suiprise, they stopped a short distance from the river. "What can they bedoing?" he soliloquize'. "One man haa an ax in his hand. "What's that? Thej' are pointing i t my cabin. I'll go and see whs.t they aro after; they are coming too-close to me. They can't stay here. I won' ba bothered with neighbors." Aa he drew near the- party,- tie engineer advanced and extended his hand: üuod morning, my old friend. How long have you lived here?'' ''About thirty-six moons," was t"he cru(T arjswer. 'W hi. siranirers. ii continued the squatler," what might be ycr business in these o.uartr?" 'Why, sir, don't you see the compass? We ara surveying. Have you not heard of the great National road; which is tj extend from Missouri to Marylaudi" 'I don't know nothin' about your road. I don't wan t it; got too many roads now!" "Why, sir, this road will double the value of your farm. You will havo a ready market for your p'oduce. It will be a great improvement to the County. We are hero engineering this road, and our orders are to make it, aa far as possible, without crook or

turn. 1 our cabin stand3 directly m tho road ; it tniut bo moved." "Move my cabin 1" exclaimed the squatter, growing palo with rage. He glared for a moment at the invaders of his lorest homo, then with a bound ho entered his cabin and almost immediately reappeared with his long rifle inhishandi: "I'll shoot tha first man tht dares to cross my fence," he said; and there wa3 in his firm-set lips and flashing eyes something that betokened danger. Argument was unavailing; the survey at that point was at a standstill. The engineer reported the matter to the Superintendent at Waihington, who, after considering the situation, laid the case before General Jackson, then President of the United States. It did not take the stern old hero long to decide it. Rising to his full height he said, "The squatter is right. You have no right to invado his home, and if you do he ought to shoot you.'' "But, Mr. President, what must I do? How can I build my road?" 'Uo around!" thundered the President. "There is plenty jf room around the house. ' And so tho road was curved and- thus it remains to this day. The old squatter's cabin remained standing for many yean after its builder slept his long sleep. Kind reader, should you pass around thU curve, near White Water bridge, you will see Earlliam College, surrounded by its beautiful ground?, and farther down the river you will behold the black smoke rising from the factory chimneys of the beautiful city of RichmondkInd;ana. I'.oys and Silk Culture. The Philadelphia Times gives tho following account of the ßoys'öilk Culture Association of the Unitod btates, now at work in a room at the corner of Eighth street and Fairmount avenue, Philadelphia: ''It only boasts of three members, the oldest but seventeen years of ag, but all aro active workers, and in the eight months of its existence the Society has demonstrated the power of mere boys in the heart of the ' city to raise worms and prepaio raw silk of the best grades and at a financial profit. In May, 1881, Edward Matlack, fifteen yesrs old and George 1". Field, sixteen years old, both pupils in the public schools, organized the Association. Uoth were amateur naturalists, had become interested in silk culture during the Centennial year and had lost no opportunity after that time to study the habits ot the worms and the manufacture of the silk. The new firn a1? soon as organized, prepared for an 'energetic campaign, leased their room and set about their preparations. Eggs were obtained from all quarters, and dnring tire season ten thousand worms were rained. The boys with their own" hands prepared the trays on which the worms were placed before spinning, the receptacles for the cocoons, and after repeated efforts succeeded in perfecting an improved reel. They compiled and publUhed a pamphlet coBtafting an account of the habit, changes and diseases of the common silkworm, rules for silk culture and instructions in reeling. Under a permit granted by Superintendent Thayer the boys foraged in the Park for

white mulberry leaves until thelattorpart of

July, when their permit was suddenly ra voked. and the worms almost starved bfor5 their frantic proprietor could obtain from Commissioner liomak a renewal of privileges. The season, however, passed over prosperously, and the silk from the cocoons was successfully reeled, together with several lots from cocoons raised by ouUide partic3. At present the boys are""em ploying all the time which they can sparo from their studies to tho reeling ot cocoons raisM by the mother of linjard Taylor, the lady who won a prize for one of the bet exhibits at the recent display of the "Women's Silk Culture Association. Mrs. Taylor uses tke Lsilk for sowiDg and has given it to the . boys to ascertain the smallest prssiblo waste which can result from careful reeling. Sixteen of the fibres are being uniied into a single thread, thirty-two cocoons bdng reeled at tho same time. The reel upon which the work is beinej done U the especial pride of the Association. It is seventytwo inches ia circumfreace, was made by the boys alone, and has, as they claim, two important improvements over every other machine ot tho kind. The arms of the reel are so joined that they can be readily closed together, affording opportunity to remove the reeled silk, and the thread from the cocoons passes in its way to the red over a shifting bar, which moves regularly to and fro whenever the crank which operates tho wheel is turned. It 13 expected that tho reeled silk from Mrs. Taylor's cocoons will amount to moro ihtn one-Llf cf their entire weight. Tho Association recently received an accession in tho person of C. II. Bitton, another sixteen year-old Philadelphia school-boy, residing at No. 023 Marshall street, who will start a branch cococxtry tX Swe jesboro, T. J., duriugthe coming soaon, which will begin about tho 10:h of May. For thij souon elaborate preparations have been made at the main cocoonery. Over ÜOO.OüO egg?, of French, Japanese, Divoltin and native silk worms are now at Matlack's cellar, and the cocoon ory is already prepared for the raiding of 100,000 WiTins. The netting frames or trays are arranged in long rows, one above tho other, with wires connecting them with the ground to carry ofl.the electricity from the vorins, as the breeders say. Tho ecrgs are kept on ico during the warm weither until it is time for them to be hatched, and ercat care is takon to ket p th3 trays properly labekd and to Eee that all the worms on each are of tho same age. A large numbir of littie paper funnels, each with a hole near tho bottom for ventilation, have been made, and it is in these that the worms are placed when they begin to spin their cocoons. At least 50,000 of these com s will be mado during tho b-aon. Tho bo3-s give logons in reaiinir and roaring the worms and drive an energetic and moderately profitable trade in silkworms, egg and ctcosns. . .foil ii KrlsM. Seventy years aco a boy was born in Rochdale, England, who was destined to fill a great pUco in the world. His parents were Jficob and Martha Bright people of good old leaker ttoek. Jacob Bright was a cotton manufacturer, and both he and his wife were beloved for their charitable deed.-. One Sunday Mr?. Bright and little John were walking out ani the boy wore bis pp.ir of long troupers for the nrst time. Of course ho felt proud of them. But soon they met a poor w oman with fcer little bov, and ho was clc thed in rags. Mrs. Bright s'opped them, and the result of a few minutes conversation was that the poor woman and her razeed son re turned home with them, and Master John had to strip off his new suit arjd let the other boj put it on in pUco of his iag3. 31rs. JLtribt a charity was very thorough. At school young John was quick and in dustrious, but bu father thought busines! more important th;m book learning; so at fifteen the boy wr.3 placud in liia father's cotton mill. Fortunately for hirnselt and the world he did not civo tip learning from book3 when he left school, or he would not havo been the grout man Le is. As a boy and a young man he was a good cricketer, and all his life ho has been very fond of fish ing, having caught ininnow3 and other small fish in the river ttmt ran by his home, and salmon of fortj pounds weight in Shetland and in Norway. At twenty-two yearä of ago he began training himself in public speaking in a literary Society of which ho was one of the founders, and doubtless it 13 to this early training th.st he owes the honor of beincr the greatest of EnclUh orators. Mr. Bright win first elected a member of Parliament in 184;"!, and fourteen years later, he was chosen to r'pros-3nt tha great manufacturing town of Birmingham, which seat ho still occupies. Mr.' Bright's public life hs.3 beon a busy and a ussfui one. No man has done more for tho benefit of th working classes than he, and ho ha3 never hesitated in the pursuit of the course w hich h a felt to be the right one. In this couutry tho name of John Bright is justly honored, for ho was the only English statesman who supported tho Union without wavering during the late War between tho North and tho South. November 1G, Mr. Bright celebrated his seventieth birthday. Stop Scowl ine Don't scowl; it spoils faces. Before you know it your forehead will resemblo a small railroad map. There is a grand trunk lino now from your cowlick to the eJge of your nose, intorsectcd by parallel lines, running east and west, with curves arching your eyebrows; and, th, how much older you lockfjrit! Scowlisg is a habit that steals upon us unawares. We frown when the lisht is too strong and when it is too weak. We tie our brows into a knot when wo are thinking, and knit them even more tightly when wo can not think. There 13 no denying that thero aro plenty of things to scowl about. The baby in tho cradle frowns when something fails to suit. The little toddler who has sugar on his bread and butter tells his trouble in the same way when you leave off tho sugar.

We should possess our souls in such peace that it would reflect itself in placid countenance. If your lorehead is rigid with wrinkles before forty, wht will it bo at seventy? There is one consoling thought about the3o marks of time and trouble the death angel always erases them. Even the extremely aged in death often wear a smooth and peaceful brow, thus leaving our memories of them calm and tranquil. But our business is with life. Scowling h a kind of silent scolding. For pity 'd sake let us take a sadiron or a glad iron, or a 6mooth tool of some sort, and straighten these crcasas out of our faces before they become indelibly engraven upon our visage.

At a serial gathering rot long since, the subject of bald heads tame up for discussion, and it wa3 tho subject of general mystification that there aro sj mtny more bald headed men than thcra aro women. Nobody was able to give a reasonable explanation for this until old Colonel Swipes, who is balder than a watermelon, and has buriod five wives, spoke up. He said it was perfectly plain to him why i.icn bad les3 hair on their heads than women, lie was asked to explain, which ho did, thus: "You see, gentiemen, when a man gets mad he pulls his own hair out, and when his wife gets mad she pulls out what there h left of it.

Experiments al. ready instituted show that it is possible to make ''wood" or its substitute from straw, of a tensible strcrpth surpassing ordinary building wood. This material is capable of being carried through all the manipulations that wood is, docs not shrink, takes a high polish, and is water proof. In short, it not only answers all the purposes of wood, but is

vastly better than it. There are two waste substances which have never yet been made profitable to man, and the?o are tto coal slack or dust, and wood dust, commonly calied sawdust. If anyone can utilize these and turn them into lutabr or fuel, it will be a substantial advantage. Farmers' Advance. Until A fortnight ago Dulfalo Mountain terminated abruptly in a lofty white Teak, overlooking a considerable part of Washington County, Tennessee. This picturesque summit has long been a feature of the landscape and a favorite resort of tho people. Ou tho 20th ult. it slid down into the valley with an appalling rear, and every one within five miles thought that an earthquake was in progress. It is claimed by a writer in Nature that the oil of the "olachen" or "ullkon," the candle fish of Alaska, possesses all the medicinal qualities of cod liver oil. 'The fish has long been an ichtbylogical curiosity, andhas been noticed by almott every traveler who has visited the coasts of British Columbia

and Southern Alaska. It is a small, silvery fibh, averaging aVout fourteen inches long, and ia general appearance rnucn resembling a smelt. It is the fattest of ail known fish, and affords a very superior oil when fried out. Dried, the fish serve a3 torches. When a light is needed, the tail i touched to tho fire, and they will burn with a bright light for sometime.

In the practical working out of his views on health which seem to gain in favor with German physiologiets Prof. Jaeger, of Stuttgart, commends the so-called normal clothing, which, as.he explains it, conslets exclusively of wool, and especially fulfils the purpose of keeping warm the middle Tue of the Iront of the body. The general ol.ocl is to prevent accumulation of fat and water in the system, the Professor's leading principle being that tbo greater the specific gravety of tho human body ihrs more it is able to resist epidemic diseases. To the well known prcp.'nies of wool as regards moisture and heat, Prof. Jaeger made a curious addition. Uo claims to prove that in our organism there aro cert iin gaseous, volatile substances, odorouj, which are continually being liberated m the acts of breathing and perspiring, and have important relations to mental states. Two distinct grtuns appear, namely those of pleasure and cttelike; tho former substances aro exhaled during a joyful and pleasant state of mind, and produce this state with heightened vitality if inhaled. Of the latter the reverse i3 truo. Now, Professor Jaeger contends that sheep's wool attracts the ''substances of pleasure,'' while clothing made of plain fibre favors tho accumulation of the offensive substances of dislike. A German chemist has recently published an interesting memoir, giving the results of a series of experiments as the eflec; of powerful compression on various bodies. The substances experimented with wero taken in fino powder, and submitted, in a steel mould, to pressures varying from 2,000 to 7,000 atmospheres, or about7,000 kilogremme per square centimetre. Lead filings, at a pressure of 2,000 atmospheres, were transformed into a solid block, which no longer slowed tho least grain under ihe microscope, and tho density of which was 11.5, while that of ordinary lead is 13 3 only. At 0,000 atmospheres the lef d became fluid and ran out through all the interstices of tho apparatus. The powder of zinc and bismuth, a 5,000 to 6,000 atmosphere?, gave solid block having a crystalline fracture. Toward 6,000 atmospheres zinc and tin appeared to liquify. Powder of prismatic sulphur was transformed into a solid block of octabedr'tjulphur. Soft sulphur and octahodric Eulphur led to tie same result as prismatic. Red phosphorus appeared also to pass into the denser state of black phosphorus.

Directly in front of her eat a pretty and well-dressed young girl and a loud, conceited and voluble young man. Unintentionally, Miss Eytinge overheard their conversation just as the young man mentioned her own name. "Rose Evtince! Why, I know her well." he exclaimed. "It is only a couple of hours 8go since I was up at her house on Fifth avenue. She's gut a beautiful place, elegantly furnished. There are not two rooms fixed alike. You never saw such picture, such carpets, such silverware 1 Her piano is the handsomest in New York, sure. Thei you ought to see her when she's out driving in the Central Park of an afternoon.

"Then take my advice, my dear young lady, and leave him at once; and when you are out of the Theater go somewhere to purify and fumigate yourself. The mere contaet of such a Thing is poisonous." The frightened girl hastily got up and, without a word, left her seat and her companion. The latter, crimson with shame and eyed with amazement by everybody else in the house, stood not upon the order of bis going, but went at once in an opposite direction. "Why Wear Plasters? They may relieve, but they can't cure that lame back, for the kidneys are the trouble and you want a remedy to act directly on their secretions, to purify and restore their healthy condition. Kidney-Wort has that specific action and at the same time it regulates the bowels perfectl'. Don't wait to get sick, but got a package to-day, and cure yourself. Liquid and dry sold by all druggists.
