Falling of Earth Worms Daring ^bowers. A Description of Trevelyaa's Rosker, with Directions for Making the Apparatus and Kj^perimentlng with It.

The Trevelyan rocker illustrated in the cats can, says Scientific American, be easily made. Following are the explanations and directions given by journal in quotation.

FIG. I—TREVELYAS^S HOOTER.

This apparatus consists of a short piece, A, of load pipe, about an inch in diameter, and a piece, B,

of

thick brass tubing, about three-

quarters of an inch outside diameter and fire or six inches long. The lead pipe is flattened a littlo to keep it from rolling, and the surface along the side which is to be uppermost is scraped and smoothed. The brass tubing, B, is filed thin upon ono side, near one end, and the thin part is driven in with the pein of a hammer or a punch so as to leave the longitudinal ridges, a a, as shown in the end •lew of Fig. 1.

no. 2—TWCntXiYAN'S BOCKEB.

When the brass tube is heated and placed across the lead pipe as shown in Fig. 1, with the ridges, a a, in contact with the lead pipe, the brass tube begins to rock, invisibly, of course, but with sufficient energy to give forth a clear musical note. If it does not start of itself, a little jarring will sot it going, and it will continue to give forth its sound for sorrro time.

The accepted explanation of this phenomenon is that the contact of the hot brass with the lead causes the lead to suddenly expand and project a microscopic distance upward. Those upward projections of the lead alternate between the two points of cont ct, and thus causo the tube to rock with great rapidity and regularity.

In Fig. 2 is shown a modification of the experiment in which the lead is melon ted to form the two contact surfaces, a a, and the 'boated bar, B, is mado to rock at a comparatively slow rate, giving forth a grave note.

By careful manipulation, the bar may be mado to rock both longitudinally and laterally, thus giving forth a rhythmic combination of the two sounds.

A Senslbla Precedent.

The Austrian minister of public instruction has issued a very sensible decree, forbidding tho use of books printed with sir all type in public schools, as shortdghtedness is so prevalent among school children in Austria. Scientific supervision might very properly fee given to school books in this country, attention being especially directed to tho size of the type, leugth of line, and spacing of letters and lines. The chief fault in German books is their adherence to the very daxzling Old English shape of the letters, which severely tries the eyes by necessitating very close attention, and the evil effccta of this is aided by the paper being coarse and by the light supplied being usually insufficient Generally speaking, the school books of this country are well printed.

To restore stone staircases, of which the steps have become worn, a French journal advises that the worn parts be moistened with a solution of silicate of potash (soluble glass), and then that the step he given its original form by means of a paste composed of hydraulic lime and silicate of potash, to which 90 per cent of fine silicious *and is then added. The durability of the steps thus restored, it is claimed, is comparable to that which would bo obtained with the bestsfcooes, and the adhesion of tho added part is psr-f-"vr'T"'

PHYSIOLOGY AND YGIENE.,

Medicinal Baths and How bin Them. Seitse* W»ter tor It irns. An

attendant tqftn an invalid should be #MA to give easily, quickly and effectually any kind of bath that the physician may order. Elizabeth R. Bcovil tells in Good pVitmpfrwping- how to give various forms of the bath in general use, among them the following:

To give afoot bath in bed, torn back the clothes from the foot of the bed, lay a square of India rubber cloth on the lower sheet, and on it place a small tub of hot water let tho invalid lie with the knees drawn up, and put the feet in the tub. Cover the knees with a folded blanket, and let it completely envelope the tab. Have near a large pitcher of hot water to replenish that in the tub as soon as it begins to cool. Three or four tablespoonfuls of mustard are usually added to the bath.

Sulphur baths are sometimes ordered for persons suffering from rheumatism. A quarter of a pound of sulphurated potash is added to .about twenty gallons (or six pails} of hot water—enough to completely immerse the body. The temperature of die water should not be allowed to fall below 98 dogs. The patient should be wrapped in a sheet and placed in the bath, remaining there for some tim* The head must be kept cool with flortm dipped in ice water. A warm blanket must bo ready to receive the bather when the bath is finished.

A vapor bath can be given by seating the person in a cane bottom chair, pinning a blanket around the neck and letting it fall to the ground on all sides. Under the blanket place a large pan, two-thirds full of boiling water into this plunge hot bricks, one at a time (two or three will be enough). In a short time the patient will be in a perspiration. Dry with warm towels and put him to bed. This is effectual treatment for a bad cold if the sufferer can be kept warm the the next day.

A Warm Bath for the Baby.

When babies are restless, feverish and sleepless give them, not soothing syrups or opiates, but a warm bath. For babies the warm bath is a blessed institution, declares a writer in Babyhood better than all medicines, it will impart relief and restoration to the feverish and restless little folks. In addition to its charming effect upon the general conditions it is well to add there is scarcely a local trouble of a temporary nature, as, for example, pain in the stomach or bowels, which will not give way upon immersing the body in the warm bath. The degree of temperature may be determined by the urgency of the symptoms. The greater the suffering tho

Do Woriiw'Fsll Daring Showers?

In roplv to the above query, a correspondent in Popular Science News expresses his belief that worms do fall dJwn. He claims to have repeatedly soen these earth worms in caldron kettles suspended on long poles by bails of chains, and having no connection with the ground only through fne *bail or chain, and the pole and its rests and in many other situations wliero it was impossible for such worms to get without falling down, as in sap trouglis, and buckets, tubs, pans, etc. A fact in connection with these circumstances is, that, unless discovered in a short time after gotting into these vessels or traps, they ore dead—drowned, probably show. ing that they aro incapable of climbing out of the inclosing wall, whatever it might be, as a pail or pan, inclined out ward, which they must have ascended in an opposite inclination from tho outside, if we supposo the •worms helped themselves in by crawling up from the ground. This correspondent has seen those worms in quite cold weather, under the circumstances notod, but they have boen of more frequent oocurrence in warm weather.

should be the water,

especially it the patient be one of strong constitution. When the littlo sufferer becomes quiet or the skin moist, it should be taken out, rubbed with soft, warm towels, and wrapped in a fresh, warm blanket

No other simple means in the treatment of sick children can bo compared with it In teething, tho brain irritation and bowel affections aro moro relieved by a judicious use of the warm bath than by all other means.

The Part of PrndtDM.

People with weak lungs should keep the back, between the shoulder blades, well protected, as well as tho chest They should endeavor to establish the habit of breathing through the nose when sleeping and never with the mouth open. They should never lean with the back against anything cold should not sit or stand long near a window in cold weather. In going from a warm atmosphero into a cooler ono the mouth should be kept closed, so the air may become warmed in passing through the nostrils before it reaches the lungs. The feet should be kept dry, and the skin maintained in an active condition by regular bathing.

A New Remedy for Barns." -:V

An ingenious drug clerk has discovered something new in the way of a speedy remedy for burns. Ho allows tho contents of a siphon of seltzer water to flow slowly over the affected parts. In a moment or two the jnain vanishes. Ho continues tho treatment a few minutes, then applies a healing lotion and bandages the parts, and in case of slight burns no further inconvenience is felt He attributes the quick relief afforded by the seltzer water to the action of its carbonic acid gas. 'r

Hints for Nurses.

Hot food and drink for the sick should be hot—not lukewarm. The rooms of fever patients may be well ventilated with less fear of their taking cold than in other diseases.

Do not use damp towels about the side. Let clean clothing for a patient be thoroughly aired and wanned at the fire just before putting it on.

1 SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Manners and Customs Practiced In Polite ftoetety.

In discussing the question of introduction, aa excellent authority as Mrs. Sherwood says that it is not usual for a hostess to ascertain whether a gentleman wishes to be introduced to a lady or not but at a ball the poor man is often consulted, as the introduction is generally with a view to "getting a partner" tor the lady. As the gentleman may be unwilling or unable to dance, it is necessary to ascertain beforehand whether the introduction is desired or not otherwise the young lady would be left disappointed and perhaps mortified.

At dinners a hostess uses her own discretion aa to whether she shall introduce or not It is not customary to make general introductions atadinnsr party, bat in seeding guests down to dinner who are strangers to each other the host or hostess should introduce the gentleman to the lady whom he is to take to dinner. It Is quite unnecessary to ask the lady's permission to do this. It is the recognised law of good society that feuds ahould not be remembered at a dinner party. One should converse with his intimate enemy at a dinner as if they were bosom friends.

A bostecs introduces ladies after dinner to each other if she sees they do not speak, but a gentleman does not introduce geotlcroen over their wine, as the oonvivtal board is supposed to be a sufficient introduction. It is a great pity that Americans have no* yet learned that the roof under which they meet is an introduction. The guests then converse with each other. The act of so conversing does not constitute an acquaintance or the right to call, although it might, under certain circumstances, establish a bowing acquaintance, as a lady should bow to a gentleman, especially if she be an elderly married lady aad he a young and perbope unknown person, if he has been especially civil to her at a friend's house, or if Aa has convened with him at the table of a mutual frieod.

BABY IN TROUBLE.

pussy is robbing him from the other, ought in lovo and justice to tho dependent little boy, to protect him from his feline tormentor. Remember, as you go through life, that there is nothing more cowardly than taking advantage of a companion's weakness, and there is nothing more noble than protecting the helpless.

Sugar Making In Louisiana. A

little girl residing in St James' Parish, La., recently wrote the following letter to Harper's Young People, in which she described how sugar is made on the Louisiana sugar plantations:

I live on a sugar plantation which is situar ted on the Mississippi river, and I will try to give you a littlo account of how sugar is ma/fa on a sugar plantation. The cano is cut in tho field by negros. We employ from seventy to a hundred negroes during the harvesting season of the cane. When tho cane is cut it is carried to the sugar house and put under a shed. When it is under tho shed there are hands there who put it on a band, which carries it to the rollers then it passes* through the rollers to have all the juice mashed out of it The refuse that is left when the juice is mashed out of the cane i$ called begass: thebegassis carried off by a band to a large chimney, where it is burned. When the rollers have mashed the juice out of the cane, it passes through a little boy filled with sulphur fumes the sulphur is to purify the juice. From there the juice goes through a trough into big boxes, which wif call juioe boxes, where it remains until it 1$, thoroughly settled. Then it is put in kettles,' but before it is put in the kettles we use a littlo lime to cleanse the juice, so all of the dirt and impurities will come up to the top so it can be thrown off by means of a paddles.

Sleepy Johnnie rubs his eyes, And, with drowsy yawn, replies: "Yes, I hear him, but you see, He ain't sayin' it to me. He keeps up that horrid noise Just for his own girls and boys." —Golden Days.

An Anecdote A'jout Washington Irving.

Numbered with stories told about Washington Irving is the following: In his early youth Washington Irving had a longing to go to sea and be a pirate. He determined to make the attempt, but wisely decided to prepare himself for it by preliminary experiences. He began by eating salt pork. That made him sick. He then slept for a night or so on hard boards. That made him sore. Itwas enough. He had no more desire to go away. Other boys who want to capture men-of-war, or who desire to go west and Bcalp

Indians, would do well to imitate young Irving's example.

A Pyramid of Alam.

Among simple chemical amusements is that of a pyramid of alum. Place apiece of alum in water, and as It dissolves it will assume a pyramidal form. This curious phenomenon is duo to the fact that at first the alum melts quickly, but as it becomes united with the water the solvent power of the latter diminishes. Near the end of the experiment you may notice the alum covered with geometrical figures in relief.

Lord Nelson was most careful and kind In his training of the midshipmen under his his charge. It may well be supposed that among thirty boys some would be found who wore timid,

PLACE FOR BAD BOYS.

"WHERE THEY ARE SENT IF THEY PLAY TRUANT TOO OFTEN.

A "Home" tor the Boys of Brooklyn Who Habitually Play "Hookey*'—Hours of Study and Play—Discipline of the

Institution.

On the Jamaica plank road, near MT Hope cemetery, on the outskirts of Brooklyn, has stood for forty years a low, old fashioned frame building with a spacious veranda running its entire length. In days gone by it was a famous road house. But all has changed. The old road house, together with a more modern three story brick building in its rear, is now the Brooklyn truant home. The home, which is the outgrowth of the compulsory education law, is under the control of the Brooklyn board of education, and is intended for boys between the ages of 6 and 14 years who habitually play "hookey." The boys are committed to the institution by a magistrate, and always with the consent of their parents, except where the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children shows that the parents, through •drunkenness -r some other cause, are unfit to exercise any authority over them.

There are also some boys 111 the houso who have been placed there at the request of their parents. They are generally committed for a term of fourteen weeks, but when the parents request that they be released they are set at liberty. Upon arriving at the institution a boy is taken in hand by P. EL Corrigan, the superintendent, and submitted to much the same process that all new arrivals at the penal institutions undergo. His pedigree, together with the school from which he is committed, is entered upon the records. He is given a bath, his hair is cut, and he is arrayed in the uniform of the place, which consists of a coat and pair of trousers of coarse dark gray material. This process completed, the boy's life in the homo begins.

EARLY RHINO.

At 6 o'clock in the morning he is awakened and after scrambling into his uniform he marches downstairs to the wash room, where he is given a thorough cleaning. Then he falls into line with the other boys and marches into the dining room, where a breakfast consisting of bread and butter and coffee awaits him. Before he sits down, however, he joins in a short prayer. After breakfast, in concert with the other inmates, he returns thanks for the meal just furnished and then goc3 out to the playground to amuse himself as his inclination moves him.

At 0 o'clock he marches into the sohool -room and Is at first placed in the class under the charge of Mr. Thomas Tassie. There he is examined as to his mental qualifications, and if found to be sufficiently advanced for that purpose he is placed in a higher class. Frtm 9 until 13 o'clock the time is passed in the same manner as in the grammar schools of tho city, and at noon he again marches to the dining room. His dinner oonsists of corned beef and cabbage, pork and beans, or soma other wholesome food prepared in an excellent manner by ths two cooks of the institution.

When dinner over the pl^ground is again resorted to until 1 o'clock, when the studies are resumed in the school room. School Is over at 8 o'clock, and until 5 o'clock in summer and 4:80 o'clock in winter the playground is th^ scene of the youngster's actions. All the j^h^fuid sports so dear to the heart of the boy are freely indulged in, but7^ vorite with them all l^ere is a

mhy

Mr. Tassie is hetit y|Fhlgh esteem by every boy In the tn^£%Ion. He was at ono time an expert ballplayer, and takes a lively interest in the boys' play. He makes all their balls, keeps them in repair, and gives them many valuable hints as to the science of the game.

OIT TO BKD. "5V

When the time arrives for leaving the playground the boys repair to the dining room and eat their supper of bread and prunes or dried apples and tea. This over they solemnly march to the dormitories and prepare for bed. In reality there is littlo preparation about this. Generally thoroughly tired out with their play, they waste no time in divesting themselves of their clumsy uniform and disappearing beneath the sheets.

A watchman is constantly on guard, and there is little opportunity for boyish pranks. The dormitories are on the third and fourth floors of the new brick building, and aro large, airy and well lighted. A perfect system of heating and ventilation keeps on even temperature in the rooms at all times. The rooms contain 100 clean, wholesome beds. On the ground floor are the two school rooms, the bath room and laundry. Tho dining room, offices and apartments of the officers and help of the home are in the frame building.

The discipline of the institution is excellent, and only on rare occasions is it found necessary to resort to r^~' .neasures. A system of rewards a, ..^uishments is in operation, which appears to have a satisfactory result For good behavior and attention to studies some of the boys are made monitors. They occupy the teachers' seats in their absence and exercise a mild sort of supervision over their classmates. A striped suit with "disgrace" worked on its back is provided for certain infringements ct the rules, and has a wholesome effect in maintaining good order.

The religious training of the youngsters Is oarafully looked after, and on Sunday morning Sunday school services are conducted In both the Protestant and Catholic religions.— New York Presa

The Good Fruits of Confidence.

'My experience with criminals, when I was on a district bench, taught me that there was no ttian devoid of manhood. Place anybody, however depraved, on his manhood, and you will observe his eye brighten up. I have taken men who have been convicted of serious offenses, and, after sentencing them to the penitentiary, have said: "Now, I intend to place you on your manhood, for I believe you have manhood in you. I will give you a mittimus, and the marshal will provide you with money to go home and bitl your family good by. After you havo stayed there a day or two I want you to report at the .door of the penitentiary named in tho papers you will receive and serve out your sentence like a man. And when you are through I want you to return to me, and 1 want to see what can bo done to restore you to the confidence of your fellow men in society." I never was disappointed in a man I thus trusted, and those convicts whom I have helped on their return f. oai prison have always been faithful to tho trusts imposed upon them.—Judge Gresham ia Indianapolis Journal.

Ladles Who Can Talk.

Thcro are some ladies who can

Miss Kate Sanborn is always capable of making a bright little speech with a neat turn in it Mrs. M. Louiso Thomas, president of Sorosis, is a dignified and serious speaker. Mrs. Eliza Archard Connor is a particularly pleasing speaker, who puts genuine humor into the work. Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker can keep her audience tittering with laughter. Rev. Phebe Hanaford lifts her listeners upward. She is always tho same sweet spiritual soul, with a mind above all foolishness.—New York Press "Every Day Talk."

Women In Asiatio Lands.

Although girl babies are scarcely considered worth bringing up in China, the women of the working classes there hold their own much better than in most Asiatic countries, and even some European countries. They work in the fields with their husbands, but the heaviest and most disagreeable, tasks are not imposed upon them. In Japan tho peasant women take to the fields, road making, etc., with their husbands, on terms of perfect equality. There is nothing of slave and master in the relations of wife and hueband there if anything, the women seem to take the lead in the affairs of life.—Boston budget.

appeared on tier heel,which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought it waa causedhy apiece of broken glass or needle, hat tailed to bring anything to light. Ths child became feebler all tho time, seeming to 1 lose the use other leg, and ilnalljl quit walking entirely. The middle linger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh becoming hard. The hip Jointa became involved, so that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use of lee and arm. Partial curvature of the spltie also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and rauacie. At eighteen months of sge she was plaoed under the treatment of a prominent physician of Boston, Mass., but at the end ot ten months she had declined to such adegree that she was la a dying condition. This was In April, 1888 We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try "one bottle" ot 8wirr'B Spscmc, whloh wedld, and before It had all been taken we saw achaaga for the better In her symptoms. We kept It up, and have done so to this day, and will keep it up, If the Lord wills, for many days tooome, for It has brought our dying Hasel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to a rosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere, her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is now a blithe, cheerful, happy romping child.
