INTERESTING FACTS PRESENTED IN BRIEF AND POPULAR FORM.

An. Kwtcrtainlnc Toy That Illustrate* Important Principles fn the Science of Hy(trnnutiot—An Instrument for Indicating t*h« State of the Alf a* Regarl* Jloltture.

Some of the most striking illustrations of the principles and laws of nature are afforded TJJ means of sdtentiflc toys constructed for tbat purpose. Two interesting examples of these arw represented in this column. The Cartesian dicer (Fig. I) shows the different effects of the suspension, immersion and floating of a body in water. This hydrostatic toy consists ot a glass cylinder nearly full of water, OK the top of which a brass cap, A. provided with a piston, is hermetically fitted. In the (i'lui there is a little porcelain figure, —a ft-'ju O, for example—Attached to a holism glass* 1*11, M. which contains air and wa®er.' atHi flmt* on the surface. la ».'i« lower paH of thin figure there a Uttle Itol© by which water can enter -er esea^vv -according as the air in the interior is more or less compressed. The-quan-tity of water in the globe is such that very little 'more is required to make it sink. If "the piston be slightly lowered the air is compressed, and this pressure is transmitted to the water of the vessel and to the air'in the bulb.

The consequence is, thata small quantity d¥ water penetrates into the bulb, -which, tberefore^becomes heavier and sinks. 11 the tyressure is relieved the air In the «bulb expands, expals the excess«f water which h-ae

A niubber of instrumeftte called ihygro•copes fc&ve been made for the purpose of indicating the condition of tshe air as -"regarda moistwe. They tell simply whether'the air is more'or loss moist, without indicating the quantity of moisture it oontalns. A great number of animal and vegetable substances, such as paper, parchment hair, catgut,-etc., lengthen as the air becomes moistj -bat contract mit becomes dry, and these are employed'in the constructioa ot hygroeoppes.

One-of the commonest at these Instruments is represented at Pig. 3. It consists of a amalitflgure representing® monk-flxod on a support the head is provided wlthaoowl of thin •cardboard, movable about' ithe point, whore it is attached to the end of a small piece of twisted catgut The-other end of this is fixed'in a tubulure, as-«eon in the section. The-catgut twisting as it becomes idry, and untwisting as it is motat, moves' the «cowl, which is carefully arranged so that the head it covered when the atmosphere 4s moidt and uncovered when It is dry.

Thie instrument, and all ethers of the same class, oaly change slowly, and their indications are always behindhand srith the state «f the weather moreover, they are not very exact, and can therefore hardly bo considered more thaa.scien title toys.

The Raw York Lumber Trade Journal claims that birch twigs are «rorth a good deal, besides their reputed valve as accelerators of *be. sluggish schoolboy.

The outer bark, subjected to dry distillation, yields an cmpyreumaUftoil, haying the (xacuiiar odor of Russia leather. Th« oil of wiatergr««, usaful, fragrant and expensive, is nearly always adulterated with birch oil—much of it even is birch «il, pure and simple, but le«Ul as wintergrw* oil, and is wintergrceu oil to all intents and purpose®, having, when properly prepared and re&ied, the same properties.

Where Dolls Come From.

••Of the dolls sold in America," said tprominent wholesale dealer in toys, "nine:tenths come from Germany. Of these a large proportion are made in one little place, •'Bonneberg, a town of about ten thousand irfhabitants in Thuringen. Almost the entire industry of this place i3 confined to the manufacture of dolls. The inhabitants are very poor people and are brought up to doll making. Before it is completed a doll passes through many hands. The heads, hands and feet are made by oue person, the body by another, the hair is fixed on by another, and the face is painted by two other different people, one doing the rough work and the second the finishing touches. The clothing is made by another peraoa aad the dresses are put on by still another. All "this labor is done at such starvation prices that Americans cannot compete in the .manufacture, although the duty for importation is -36 per cent To this town of Soaneberg there'come every year a large number of buyers- from all over the world. L*ge there myself and never fail to meetatJpat a score of Americans engaged in the sEtae 'business.

There are at least 600 different "Grinds of dolls, and the variety -is remarkable. The French invent many-of the most attractive, but the Germans copyithem so cheaply that the world's buyers go -to the latter for their stock. For the manufacture of Jflne dress dolls the French still 'hold the lead by long odds. It is only in the cheaper-.goods that the Germans outspeed them. England furnishes very few dolls,.and 1 -can* now recall only one kind that is-distinctly English—the English rag doll, made- wholly of vogs. There are French walking'dells, smoking men and other automatic figures, but they are mechanical figures, too 'intricate* in their mechanism to be classed .as mere dolls. Of the rubber dolls fully one'half are made in America, where anything that is machine made prospers to the exclusion' of imported stuffs. —New York Times.

JL Week Patience.

A correspondent of London. Note? and Queries, in tVSt, made.the* following contribution:

The following ^account of: this truly wonderful specimen of human patience and skill is from a. rough copy that I took some years ago. I regret that cannot give any reference, as I made .no note of my authority, which has now escaped my recollection. But this is of little consequence, as the book is well known i© hibliographists. .Perhaps the most singular ^bibliographic. curiosity is that which belonged .to the. family of the Prince de r.ignft, asd is now.ia.France.. It is entitled "Liber Passionis Domini nostri. Jesu Christi, cum Cluuuoteribus mil la materia compositis." This bookie neither written nor printed. The whole ilettoraof. the text-are cut out of each folio .upon .the i£nect vellum and being interleaved with blue paper, is read as easily as the .best print. The labor and patience bestowed itaoompletionanust have boon exoasiva, .especially when the precision and ininu£enetsaf the letters areeonsidered. The genoal execution tic. every respect is indeed admirable and the vellum .is of the most delicate and costly kind, eitodolphus II of Germany differed, for it, in 11610, 11,000 ducats, which was iprohuibly equal to 60,000 at this day. The most remarkable circumstance connected with ithia .litararyitreasure is that it bears the royal arma of.JEngland but it cannot be traced to.have ever .been in this country.

The prison and its immediate neighborhood were notorious for. the so called "Flee* marriages,*' which w«re p«rfornKad by clergymen imprisoned for debt. Great numbers of these marriages were solemniaed, as the clergymaa could, of otmrse, defytho fine for performing clandestine and irregaiar marriages.

Christmas in Other Clime*—Its Celebra* tie* in the Native Home of tlie Christmas Tree—What a Little Girl Saw Who

Watched for Santa Clans.^ It is to the Germans, as perhaps many of our young folks know, that English and American children are indebted for th® introduction of the beautiful Christmas tree. But it has reached us shorn of many of the pretty customs that surround it in the fatherland, nor do we seem to associate so many tender fancies and touching legends with the patron saint of Christmas as do the little Teutons.

Few, if any, American "children dream of waiting in a dark nursery until the ringing of a mysterious bell tells them that the Christmas angel has made his visit and departed, leaving gifts behind, and certainly they do not sit ttt breathless awe and silence, waiting to catcfe the rustle of the angel's wings.

A MKRR? X7HSXSTMA8.

In the German observance of Christmas there is a child, or occasionally even a young girl, attired to represent the infant Jesus, whom German lads aad lasses are taught to regard as the donor ctf the various gifts scattered about the glistening green boughs. And in the love of Cbristmastide, everywhere current, the active interference of the Christ child or some kindly-saint on behalf of the juveniles, is a very iprominent characteristic, and lends ready countenance to customs which not only exoite curiosity, expectation and gratitude, but'prepare young hearts for a wider comprehension in after years of the true spirit of the (festival.

The popular tradition makes St. Nicholas the especial patron of boys and girls. He appears as an old man with a venerable beard, and with a basket?«of presents on his arm, not forgetting the further outfit of a bundle -of rofls for the scapegraces in his large bevy«®f clients. From house to house he goes, inquiring, blessing, admonishing and leaving'behind him comforrts or rods, as the case may demand. In tfce Netherlands he is Saata Claus, and tho«ame with ourselves.

In tba Tyrol tthe appellation of the p&tron of Christmas is simply that of "Holy Maa." In Alsace his .place is takeu by a maiden dressed in white, with a -jilt, taper lighted crown upon her brow, in one hand a silver bell, in the other a basket of sweetmeats. Here there is Uui adversary to be reckoned with by naughty children in the person of the redoubtable Haus Frapp, the terror of the ill doer. Tears are pretty sure at the approach and ominous demeanor of this formidable mentor. But the Christ'Child pleads the cause of the offender, promises amei»dmentanlhis or her behalf and achieves a successful rescue.

But in whatever way Christmas gifos may come to the young folks of' different nations, whether on Christmas tree or in stockings, whether brought to the door by the aagels of the Christ ehild, or down the chimney by SaL Claos, or in through the window by good St. Nicholas, this beautiful season is everywhere the cliildren?s own festiv-al, and so there can he.no better greeting for it than 'A Merry Christmas 1"

The Olive Tree.

The olive taeo, Olea Europa, grows abundantly in all the countries bordering -on the Mediterranean «ea. It thrives upon the most rocky, calcareous soils, seldom exceedsttwen ty feet in height, but is much branched and spreading: it dives to a great age, and increases very otuch in bulk, so that one tree may easily, at a little distance, be mistaken for a group. There is an olive tree at Pescio seven hundred years old and twenty-fae feet in circumference. The trees also grow:abundantly in Judea, and there are some still standing in the Garden of Gethsemane, which are large and old that they are thought to have been in existence ever since the time of our Saviour.

PHYSIOLOGY AND

HYGIENE, gi

|n tlie Sick Uoim- Health Statistic* «t Twu Grout Cities. The sick rxm in private houses is generally kept darkened, iu spite of much sanitary teaching to the contrary. Commenting on this practice, Dr. B. W. Richardson says: Not one time in ten do we enter a sick room in the daytime to find it blessed with the light of the sun. Almost invariably, before we can get a look at the face of the patient, we are obliged to request that the blinds may be drawn up, in order that the rays of a much greater healer than the most able physician mn ever hope to be may be admitted. Too often the compliance with this request reveals a condition of the room which, in a state of darkness, is almost inevitably one of disorder everywhere foods, medicines, furniture, bedding misplaced dust and stray leavings in all directions.

In brief, there is nothing bad as a dark sickroom it is as if the attendants were anticipating the death of the patient and, if the reason for it be asked, the answer is as inconsistent as the act. The reason usually offered is that the patient cannot bear the light, as though the light could not be cut off from the patient by a curtain or screen, and as though to darken one part of the room it were necessary to darken the whole Of it

A more injurious practice really could not be maintained than that of darkness in the sickroom. It is

not

only that dirt and dis

order are results of darkness, a great remedy is lost Sunlight is the remedy lost and the loss is momentous. Sunlight diffused through a room warms and clarifies the air. It has a direct influence on the minute organic poisons, a distinctive influence which is most precious, and it has a cheerful effect upon the mind. The sick should never be gloomy, and in the presence of the light the shadows of gloom fly away.

Health in Mew York and London. Some interesting statistics in regard to health in the two great cities of New York fmd London are summarized as follows by The Medical and Surgical Journal: The deaths in London last year numbered 78,848, or 18.5 per 1,000 in New York, 40,175, or 26.83 and in Paris, 22,6 per 1,000. The birth returns for New York are incomplete but the birth rate in London was 30.7 per 1,000 in Paris, 27. The male births in Paris were 30,733 the female births, 29,913. In London the numbers were, males, 66,629 females, 64,451 but in the total population of London there is a majority of 250 females. Premature births in New York numbered 1,155 in London, 2,099. To be equal, the figures referring to New York should only be a third. New York compares unfavorably with London in the matter of suicides. There were 247 in New York and 400 in London. Between 800 and 900

in Paris every year. In New York 1,138 were killed by acci dents, and in London, 2,516. There were only 1,892 deaths from bronchitis in New York, while in London there were 10,085. But While some hundreds die every year in London as the result of idleness and obesity, 61 deaths were recorded last year from starvation. A decreased death rate is invariably accompanied by a lower birth rate. The deaths in London last year were the lowest on record the births, the lowest since 1841. In the western districts, where the wealthy reside, and where the degree of comfort is high, the deaths fell to 16.4, and the births to 25.5 but in the impoverished and overcrowded east, where the poor never get a breath of fresh air, and are huddled together in unhealthy alleys, the deaths rose to 27.2 and the births to 86.5. The people least able to support children are the most prolific, and the higher the degree of sooial oenrfort and well being, the less the increase of (population.

One Tiling And Another.

A clear, vivid complexion is the sign and result of daily bathing, out door exercise and plain, healthful food.

Silk thread, says Sanitary News, is soaked in acetate of lead to increase its weight, and persons who pass it -through the mouth in threading needles, and them bite it off with the teeth, have suffered from lead poisoning.

The habitualdrinkiag of boiled water would insure escape from sickness and death to thousands of the human race yearly, «ays Di1. T. C. Currie.

Dr. Hibbard, of Virginia, regards-easy fitting clothing as a necessity in the prevention of consumption.

Foreign substacses in nose or ears, of course, demand removing. But unless you are sure of success don't attempt it yourself, and by pushing the obstacle out of reach make a bad matter worth. Call on surgeon at once, advises Dr.*A. A. Whitfield.

The weight of evidence, according to medical writer, seems to prove that those who wear the beard Are less subject to colds, sore throats, bronchitis, coughs and consumption, than those who shave. The Jews, Turks, and certain tribes who never shave, are comparatively free from these disorders.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Calling Custumi Xhat Have Become Established By Good Usage. According to the social etiquette of New York, a hostess must pay a visit to each of her proposed guests before sending a dinner invitation to them—provided she owes them calls—and it is obligatory that -each person who receives a request to dine, whether accepted or declined, must make a call upon the hostess within ten days, except when grief or illness has been mentioned as the reason for sending a regret This call should, if possible, be made upon the hostess' receiving day, or, if not, Cards must be left in person.

What Bell and Edison are to the telephone and electricity, says the Pittsburg News, Dr. Franklin Miles, the well-known specialist iu nervous disease, is to the nervous system and nerve fluid. Among his numerous discoveries his Restorative Nervine is undoubtedly one of the greatest. It is unsurpassed in nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, epilepsy, neuralgia, backache, melancholy, sleeplessness, change of life, etc. Free trial bottles of it may be had of J. & C.

The best medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces, The history.of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past obliges us to admit that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely conthis cede "this fact. The more symptoms yield to it.

Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point, we may escape many a fatal shaft, by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and properly nourished frame."—{Civil Servloe Gazette.
