_ Many people hold tie eroneous opin- ion that good covks are blessed with -Leir pecul.argifi of nature, and that scientific knowledge woulu be of no ac- count, They are accustomed to tell with gusto abcut some aunt who “just throws things together,” wut whore cucin ary productions always “take good,” and they bold tuis up as an argument thata knowledge of the miaterialss e deals with is not necessary wo the house- wife, Yet, questioned closely, they will always admit chet even tis famous individual ‘“‘so:netines has bad luck.” That means that her working know- letge, however good it may be, mist isi im the face of adverse circum=<tances, atdden f-onre; aad then she has motningsto celp ver out aad produce a su cessful result from her unuertasing, whether it be in bread-making, corn or any other donws- tic procedure, Scientific knowled ze is necess.ry for that. So, too, it would be beneticial in other ways. Kuowing the chemical composition of flour, meat and potatoes, and the effect of various methods of preparation, a housewife can put her learni- x to economic uses, and dv her cooking on such a basic as to produce palatable dishes with no loss of nutrimeat aud at the least expense. As amatter ef fact, an uneducated cook, even though she «enjoys the reputation of always “making things taste good,” is seldom a saving cook; not because she intends to be wasteful, but because she has not the scientific knowledge regard- ing food materiale and their manage- ment, which would enable her to be saving. On the other hand, an intelligent cook has a ecientific reason for every direction and every process. She is able not only to produce the most appetizing results, but todo so with the greatest economy of time, labor and money. AVOIDING FRAUDS.

The same is trve in other departinents which come under the care of the house- wife. A knowledge of chemistry and the ability to make a few simple tests would enable her to avoid the use of a great many frauds, useless and injurious articles—for example, washing com- pounds that are utterly worthless, or that will rot the clothes ; toilet powders, eontaining bismuth or arsenic, for her ewn complexion or for use in the nur- sery ; expensive baking powders that contain alum or something worse; a wonderful furniture polish at 50 cents a pint, that costs about 15 cents a gallun ; poisonous hair d.es; dangerous oint- ments, quack medicines, warranted to cure the most severe atiack of some- thing in half an hour, ete., etc., ad infi- nitum,

Therefore, we say, let the girls study

| chemistry in the school, not merely for | the culture and mental discipline to be

derived from it, but for its practical, economic value; and not only ‘‘lev” them do it, but imsist that the school directors furnish the Opportunity for them to study at ie1t the elements of the subject. While chemistry seems re-eminent!y useful for the girls, it is ikewise important for boys, especially for such as expect to become farmers or manufacturers. The composition of soils, the qualities of fertilizers, the nu- tritive strength of yrains for feeding, are questions confronting the farmer every ay, and which deperd upon a know- ledge of chemistry for their economical solution. Let us have it in the common schools, not tucked away as a luxury in the last year of the high school course.

BERMUDA’S FUTURE,

Impreved Steamehip Facilg les Possible at eae Enurly Dace.

In a recent report of the Colonial Sec- retary of Bermuda it ia stated that prepsrations ure teing made to improye the channels leed.ay iato Hamilton Har. bor. The importaice, says the report, for improving the locs! navigation may be inferred from the e-rcumstances that 80 800n AS the contract for deepening the chan:e’s is concluded, the facilities for communicatio: with the United States will be greatly enhanced. Direct- ly this public work is fairly launched, the company whe ships now ply be- tween New York and the Colony have given the Government to understand that they intend so have a steamer built which will be able to perform the voyage beiween the po ts in 45 hours, instead of 70, as at present. One of the results of this accelerated intercommuni- cation will be to considerably increase the popularity of Bermuda as a winter resort. At present the greatest draw- back is the time occupied in voy to and from New York, and the unpleas- antnees of the passage in comparatively small steamers in the winter months. The present prosperity of the islands, says the same authority, is due to their increasing popularity among the inhabi- tants of North America.

Those Whe Have Lived.

According to a recent writer it is im- possible to give any close figures on the number of persons who have lived on this earth. It is generally considered that one person in every thirteen dies each year. At this rate the population would be renewed every thirteen years. Assuming tha: the population of the world is 1,000,000,000, and that it has been 1,000,000,000 at any time during the last 6019 years, we find that the popula- tion bas been renewed about 461 times; that is, that 462,000,000,000 have lived on this earth since the creacion. This, of course, is vastly in excess to the real number, for the world, so far as we can tell, is more thickly populated now thaa ever before. Probably if we were to cut those figures in two we should stil! be above the actual number, with a total of 231,000,000,000 persons. There are no figures on which to base an estimate of the population of the world in Christ's time. The census taken up when He was brought up to Jerusalem has not come down to us; if it had, it would have been of great historical and sociolo- gical value.—Goldthwaite’s Gragraphical Magazine,

Mr. Henry Theakston, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Halifax, says: “I have used Puttner’s Emulsion for simple and ob-tin- ate cough and general debility. In every case it has given the utmost satisfaction. [ recommend it as a family medicine.” ..

A Comfort Sometimes,

When health is far gone in Cohsump- tion, then sometime only ease and comfort can be secnred from the use of Scott’s Emulsion. What is much better is to take this medicine in time to save your health.

| b low the fulls was looked upon as an engineering wonder when it was built. Its cunsiruction required three years. The Feros wheel was built in five months, and is weigat is four times that of wie Niagara bridge. The St. Louis riage Ws anotier wonder, and its Weighs is about equal to that of the big wheeci comolet. The Cincinnati cantilever is anutaee iiuge bridge; it is 1400 feet, a quarier of « mile Jong, and it would about tulance the scale with Mr, Ferris’ big tor. Aud the one is set |} immovable, res ing on two eu ports, | while the wheel is swung upon ase lift- } ed 140 feetin the air, It has 36 cars, | and in these two regiments of soldiers could be sexted and swept with an ai- most imperceptibic imoton high above the white wonce:

I snid; “Prcisly what does the gzeat wheel represeut ia mechanics ?”

“Well,” Mr. Ferris replied, **i suppose you might comicer it as typifying the present progress, the iatest development of mechanical engineering, You know there are really tuo wheels, one built 30 feet within the other. These are joined by truss work, such as is used in our finest bridge construction, Beyond all that, the wheel devilops to a degree hitherto never real.zed the capacities of a tention spoke. Ycu know that the whcel is nut only a perfect pinion wheel, but a tension wheel as well, and these, I sup- pose, may be regarded as its chief points. I do not know whe her you have stopped to consider, but it is as perfect a pinion wheel as the little wheel that goes flicker- ing back and forth in your watch, In all that immense diameter there is less de- lection proportion xtely, from a true circle, | than from the pin on wheel of the most perfect watch, maie. This is due to the fact that it has, instead of stiff spokes, the tension or jointed spokes. Waen I first proposed to bu:id a tension wheel of this diameter the feat was regarded as im- possible. It was he \d that tae spoke rods onthe upperside of t.e wheel atany given moment, instesd of sustaining the weight of the upper part of the wheel, would, from theirown weight as they hung vertically, pull down that arc of the wheel which they bore upon, and thus cause the wheel to beceme elliptic, As a matter of fact, they do nothing of the kind. There is absolutely no deflec- tion from the perfect circle.

“Considering sume of the mechanical difficulties in the construction of the wheel, you will note that it stands di- rectly east and west; thus the southern side of the wheel receives the entire brunt of tie sun's rays, whereas, as the northeru side is not only shaded by the southern but by the cars as well, caus- ing a difference in expansion varying from the heat to which it 1s subjected of | from three to six inches. All these little

problems had, of course, to be met, for | even this slight var.ation of five or six inches in the total diameter of 250 feet would be sufficient unless properly dealt with to cause a disturbance in the work- ing gear.”

**Behind the shell there was an ani- mal and behind the document there was aman,” wrote Taine. Behind the big wheel there is a personality more inter- esting than the mechanism itself, Physi- cally Mr. Ferris has litle of the inventor type. The man you meetis a man of affairs, tall, well-prop ortioned, and well sent out. He greets you easily, his de- meanor is quiet, his tones low. For a western man he is rather fastidious in his dress. In him y.u detect a little of the western angularity, perhaps ; for the rest, that bearing of easy confidence and mild cynicism which success always brings. Perhaps his :nost notable char- acteristic is a steel blue eye of remark- able depth and clarity. Withal there is about him a something of that naive, al- most boyish candor that is such a strik- ing characteristic of Mdison. His con- versation is feecinating. In a quiet sentence he opens unexpected vistas, or turns the corner upou an idea so novel that itis startling. As he speaks, in evenly modulated tene, fluently, and often epigramma calli, you feo! yourself in the presence of a wan surcharged, teeming with ideas."—From Engineer Ferris and His Wheel, September Re- view of heviews.

The Passion for Alcohol.

Many curious stories are related of the tricks resorted to by patients in asy- lume to get hold of grog. One physi- cian said: “‘I remember a patient that was very troublesome, one that we had in the retreat some yearsago. She was going on fairly well, and one day i went up—the matron happened to be not quite al.ve to the tricks and devices of these women—and I found there had been some misconduct ; there evidently had been some liquor got hold of, and I found that some curling tongs had been introduced, and upon this plea they had got some methylated spirit to heat them with, and it turned out that one lady had made a compact with two or three, and they got into their own room, by hock or by crook, and obtained Jot water, sugar and lemon juce from one of the maids, and then made grog with these materials together with the spirit. { recollect in 1872, Dr. Anstie said he knew of a case of a patient drinking blacking because there was alcohol in it, rather than not have something alcohol- ic.”—-Expert Reperts on Alcoholism.

Our Tallest Smoker,

States, and perhaps, in the world, de- signed solely for the purpose of provid- ing a draught for boilers, is at Fall River, Mass. It meets the requirements of the entire steam plant of the four new mills of the Fall River Iron Co. Some idea of its size can be had from the fol- figures. furnished by the contractor, From the top of the granite foundation to the = is 350 feet; the diameter of the base is 30 feet, at the top 21 feet; the flue is 11 feet throughout, and the entire structure rests on a solid granite founda- tion—55 by 30--16 feet deep. In its con- struction there wei> used 1,700,000 bricks, 2000 tons of stone, 2000 barrels o! mortar, 1000 loads of sand, 1000 barrel; of Portland cement and the estimated cost is $40,000.
