In one of the elevators in a down town building the other day an absent minded niun cuiue ueur departing thia life with nubecoming haste. He hud stood close by the door when the car stopped at bis floor and hud allowed two or three other passengers to brush by him. He bad nmde no si:,iis of a desire to step out, but when the elevator resumed ita upward course and the door waa nearly closed be rave a start and jumped forward until his body projected out of the car and prevented th door from closiug. Luck ily the conductor understood his boai nesa. With an instinctive movement he topped the cur in a few inches. Then he drew Kick the door aud released the Tentureeome passenger, who walked away without even looking back or say lug a word. The other passengers looked ou in hileuce. Even the elevator twin had nothing to say for a minute, but when the next floor waa reached the whole affair seemed to strike him in a new light Uedidu't think of the horror of a life suddenly taken away, ot the sickeniug sight of a crushed aud lianglej body.

Cucuinlirri Nut Noxious. Many people are under the impression that cucumber is very indigestible, and when they eat it they do so under protest and with apprehensions of possi ble dire consequences. How this delu sion can have arisen it ii dillicnlt to say, unless it be that cucumber is often eaten with salmon and other indigestible table friends. It is not the cucumber, how ever, but the salmon that sits so heavily upon our stomach's throne. Cucumlier, in fuct, is very digestible when it is eaten properly. It cannot, indeed, be other wise when it is remembered that it con sists mainly of water, and that those parts which are not water are almost ex clusively cells of a very rapid growth. In eating cucumber it is well to cut into thin slices and to masticate them thor oughly. Even the vinegar and pepper that are so often added to it are of service to the digestion, if not taken in excess. The cucumber, as every one knows, be longs to the melon tribe, but in our somewhat cold country it does not grow to any very large size, and therefore is firmer aud looks less digestible than its congener, the melon. Bore feet In Bhrep. With an experience of over thirty years in handling sheep, according to the hooka or accounts given, I do not know as I ever had a fully-developed case of foot rot, says a writer in the S'a lional Sloekiiian. But, aa I had sheep which were very tender in the feet and frequently lame, my view of the matter was all that was required to develop into rot waa to neglect giving attention at the iroper time, so that I was always on the ookout; for a sheep to limp was enough to cause me to investigate and act. With an average of about 200 head, there were times during warm, wet weather when matters would liecome a little serious, but I never lulled to come out on the winning side. I have made use of different remedies, some of which were costly preparations, and have long since arrived at the conclusion that, if taken in time and attended to as it should lie, there is nothing better to ef fect a cure than blue vitriol, either ow dered and applied dry or dissolved in vinegar. Of course, where large Mocks are kept and the pastures and stables liecome polluted, the case is somewhat ditlicult; but the greater vigilance re quired, if attended to, will fully meet the exigencies of the case. It is a big job to handle a lot of heavy sheep, and where there is serious trouble arrange ments may have to be made that tlie liquid can be put into a Bhallow tank and sheep driven through it, letting a given number remain in it a short time. 1 have never had any trouble with club feet caused by the use of vitriol, as claimed by some is a result of ita use. or Inlert-Kt to Housekeepers. Old napkins and old tablecloths make the very best of glasscloth. Asthma may be greatly relieved by soaking blotting or tissue paper in strong saltpeter water ; dry it, and then burn if in the sleeping room. A nice way to serve stirred eggs is to heap them in the middle of a platter and garnish them all around with slim slices of Binoked salmon, which have been dipped into melted butter and then allowed to frizzle Blightly on a slow tire. A rouirh test for Dm ili.tui'tlmi nf tin. ter in lard consists in melting it in a teat tulic. If free from water it becomes per fectly clear, while the presence of water causes an opaque apjiearance. If pres ent in large quantities it separates out on the liquid stands, but where the two have been well incorporated separation only occurs moBt slowly. What to do with cool beefsteak Chop the best and most tender portions; add hot ater enough to moisten slightly ; heat quickly and serve at once as soon as hot. Add butter, salt and pepper. The tough parts of Bteak or ot roast beef are much more palatable if boiled first in water to cover until tender. Then use them in any of the ways given for cold meat, as croquettes, hash, mince on toast, stew, ragout, meat and potato pie, braised meat, etc. Despondency on the part of the patient is in many cases more deadly than dis ease, and whatever is said or done in or about the sick room should lie with a view to dispel that emotion and replace it with something more healthful. Do not go tiptoeing and creeping about the apartment ; do not stand behind a screen, curtain or door and peer wistfully at the invalid ; do not stare fixedly at him from any point, and do not indulge in persist ent questionings which are evidently annoying. If the patient invites con versation and is able to endure it, talk freelvof those matters in which he is in terested, the current news ol the day, social events or reminiscences; hut un der no circumstances permit such topics as sickness, death, suffering and others ot like nature. The Paris Chamber of Commerce strongly recommends manufacturers to exhibit goods at the World's Fair. A Railway for the Swamps.

The nations labor, as the Jews rebuilt Jerusalem, with a sword in one hand aud their industrial tools in the other, Restless, suspicious armies are encamped side by side where formerly nations lived and lubored. Every year some one or other of these armies Invents some more deadly weajion than its rival, some more territle explosive, some more exdi tious mode of slaughter. No sooner does this happen than all the others hasten to adopt It, piling ou with desperate energy the panoply of armor beneuth which humanity is crushed. Amid the ceaseless ebb and flow of human affairs, one phenomenon never varies. The sum totul exjiended on making ready for slaughter constantly increases. Every year more aud mole is drained from the soil in order to feed the magazines. Every year the barrack gains on the cottage, and preparation for war liecomes the absorb ing preoccupation uf a great proportion of the flower of our youth. From every able bodied man this armed peace exacts three, four or five years of life when it is at its richest and brightest Wheif the youth steps into manhood and begins to dream of love and lulmr and of the sweet Joys of home and family, there swoops down upon him the kidnaper of Mars and carries him off to the barracks and the camp. This vast organization for murder is the iqius tree of civilization, aud all the continent is sick ening under its fatal shade. The first cost it the cost in actual cash paid down, the second in life wasted at its prime, the third in the condition of unrest which 8Uis the sense of security necessary for the prosecution of business. Business is difficult when peace is not worth three months' purchase. Every year commerce becomes more and more in ternational. Every year, therefore, any dis turliance of euce becomes more dangerous to the trader. Even the shadow of war now produces fur more serious dislocation of in dustry than in old times was caused by the actual progress of a caiiqiaign. For in old times every parish was a little world in itself, a microcosm capable of indupendent exist ence, and able to carry on its own business and grow its own crop if all the rest of the world wai in measureless confusion Today all this bus changed. A network of rail ar teries aud telegraph nerves now knits all Eu rope into one organism. Fall Mall Gazette. Fishes of the Sea. Though no sharp line of separation can be drawu, marine fishes are roughly divided, for convenience, into three categories shore fishes, which habitually frequent coast lines, and rarely descend to a greater depth than 800 fathoms; pelagic fishes, which inhabit tbe open sea, most of them spawning there also, and the deep sea Ashes, which live where the iufluence of light and surface tempera ture is but little felt. The shore Ashes, ac cording to Heilprin, number upward of 3,500 species. Their northern range extends to or beyond the eighty -third parallel of latitude, but in the southern hemisphere they are not known to go beyond the sixtieth parallel. In the different sones these fishes are largely identical in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins, as well as on the opposite side of these basins. Tropical waters, however, produce a greater abundance and diversity of forma than those of temperate regions, while the reefs give to the Pacific and Indian oceans more species than the Atlantic. Our still very meager knowledge of the pelagic fishes ii sufficient to indicate that tlie number of such types is very limited. They diminish rapidly from tbe equator, and become rare beyond the fortieth parallel Of the deep sea fishes, Qunther enumerated upward of fifty forma supposed to have been obtained from depths exceeding 1,000 fathoms, twenty-six from depths exceeding 2,000 fathoms, aud nine from 2,500 fathoms. Other species have since been obtained, one from the extreme depth of 2,000 fathoms. Land aud Water. Not the Right Temperament.

The following Incident, related by a (lis tlngulshed chemist, inny bo interesting, as allowing how svstemu'.lcully this busi ness of adulteration is curried 011. The eentleman mentioned won recently coil suited by a firm of oil dealers, who were natural! v anxious to 'earn how it was that their compel itor wu ulwuvs able to under sell them. In face of the tact that the chemist of their luetoi-v could not discover any adulteration in tin tr rival's product On analysis. 110 (orei:rn substance ap peared, and the eoiisuiliii ' chemist was forced to confess himself nonplused. In tlie course of couei-uliou ho happened to mention, quite In, Mentally, that the only Impurity he had been able to una was trace of petroleum oil, which ho had con sidered accident ul. The oil liev ler inquired the amount of U1U01I ice .-ut.aua on finding that it was ubnui '.') per cent.. Im mediately sold that the problem was solved. Two and a halt r:r cent,, he ex plained, made l.i a barrel of forty gallons a difference of 0110 gallon, ana. by extract ing this quantity of uu oil worth fifty cents, and substituting a gallon of an In ferior kind wort h, say. ten '-cuts, his rival had been enabled to draw uwuy almost all bis trade POtWINOTS DYES. Peoplo have b"como so accustomed to finding the discussiou of the subject of adulteration conlincd to articles of food and drink that they ure apt to consider that this Is tho ouly part of it of any Im portance. Physicians, however, ran tell a different story. For instance, they are frequently consulted for disorders which can be directly traced to cheaply dyed articles of dress, and ninny of tho most obstinate cases of skin disease are due to poisonous coloring matters. Before the art of dvcing had progressed much most of they dyeing colors In use were prepared from simple vegetable ex tracts. Boon, however, the demand was greater than the supply, and the chemist was called upon for substitutes. Step by step he followed nature back to her labor story, and family was able to announce that ne could produce at will iu unlim ited quantities a dye stuff which could not be distinguished by any test, either cuemicai or physical, trom the natural product. Tho substance, which he had made was alizarine, the coloring matter of madder, and the article from hlch ho made it was common coal tar. This dis covery worked a revolution in the indus trial world. Vhe path, ouco It had been pointed out, was easy to follow, and In quick succession came the announcements of new colors made from this same waste product coal tar until at the present day any color or tint can be supplied from it But here, too, the practice of sophisti cation soon became a prominent factor, until the question was, not how well can dyes be made, but how cheaply. The process of manufacture is a long one, and great care is required at every step to thoroughly remove the powerful chendea agents by which the uecessary changes are brought about. Here was the oppor tunity for cheapening tho final product. An Incomplete removal of these chemicals means less labor and less expenso; hence the Indifferently finished product can be sold cheaper. Unfortunately, however, these Impurities thus left In thodveare In most Instances highly irritating to the skin, aud when an article dyed with such substances Is worn It Is very liable to cause trouble, especially if the skin is chafed or scratched.
