Manual labor vs. Machinery.
A fear seems to have taken possession
of many minds lest by the inventive
genius of man machiney might be pro
duced capable of accomplishing so much
as to remove the necessity for manual
labor, and, as a consequence, lest they
themselves should be unable to gain a
livelihood. So widely have these views
been imbibed, even by men of apparent
intelligence of a comparatively high I
order, that they have advocated in strong
terms, upon the rostrum and elsewhere,
the desirability of not only banishing
new machinery, but inventors also This
opposition has made the path of those
who possessed sufficient enterprise to lead
them to devise new methods, and new
apparatus to effect the same, not only
unpleasant, but generally unprofitable;
whereas if mankind had been more fully
ondowed with wisdom and brotherly
love a very different state of affairs would
have existed.
The cry that "the rich lire growing
richer and the poor are growing poorer,'
as the result of the introduction of new
machinery is not trne. In fact, the use
of machinery is constantly improving the
'condition of all classes; and the advance
that has been made by the masses to
ward a higher civilization the last half
century is simply wonderful, and is due
to the development of the inventive
genius of mal. That there is not an
equitable distribution of the products of
the farm, the mine, and the manufactory
cannot be denied But where does the
fault lie? Not with the machinery either
of old or new design.
Let the reader look back with the aid
of proper books of reference to the con
dition of things fifty years ago. At that
time it was beginning to dawn upon the
minds of the most progressive that steam
railways were a possibility; but every
thing for the next ten years was in the
crudest possible condition, no more like
the confortable railways of to-day than
a two-wheel springless ox-cart is like a
modern pleasure carriage. Then travel
was slow and tedious for all classes, rich
or poor. Now the rich, and the poor as
well, may travel five hundred miles com
fortably in twenty-four hours. Then the
mails were weeks in going and coming
where days will now suffice. Then tele
graphA were unknown, but now any one
may send a messagei to a friend hundreds
of miles away for a few cents, and get an'
answer almost at once, whereas it for
merly required several days if not weeks
for ia message to go and come. These
and hundreds of other improvements
that have been inaugurated are open to
the use and benefit of all, and have
greatly lessened the most arduous work
of the laboring man, while the necessity
for his services is in no wise less now than
formerly In fact it may be truly said
that the day laborer can now enjoy many
things that tihe wealthiest men half a
century ago could not obtain.-New

4'he 'pfder..
The wiorst t~ing about this poor insect
is, that it is so th oroughly ugly. In it
Nature has sacrificed everything in the
formation of the industrial machine
necessary for satisfying its wants. Of a
circular form, furnished with eight legs
and~ eight vigilant eyes, it astonishes
(and disgusts) us by the pre-eminence of
an enormous abdomen. Ignoble trait
in which the inattentive and superficial
observer will see nothing but a type of
gluttony. Alas! it is. quite the con
trary. This abdomen is its workshop,
its magazine, the pocket ini which the
rope-maker keeps his stock; but as lhe
fills this pocket with nothing but his
own substance, he can only increase it
at his own expense by means of a rigid
sobriety. True typo of the artisan. "If
I fast to-day," he says, " I shall, per
haps, get something to eat to-morrow;
but if my manufacture be stopped, every
thing is lost, and my stomach will have
' to fast forever.".
In character the spider is watchful
and cunning; in disposition timid, un
easy and nervous-being endowed with a
more sensitive nature than is possessed
by any other insect. These character
istics are the natural results of its miser
able condition, which is a state of coin
stant, passive, weary waiting. To be
forever watching the ceaseless, joyless,
careless dances of the fly, which pays no
attention to the greedy desires of his
enemy, or the gentle whispers of: "Corn.
hero, little one, come this way"-is to
be in a state of constant torment, to be
continually undergoing a Buccession of
hopes and mortification. The fatal
question, " Shall I get any dinner?" is
continually presenting itself to the
dweller in the web , followed by the still
more sinister reflection, " If I have no
dinner to-day, then no more thread, and
still less hope of dining to-morrow."
The male spider often makes a meal of
his progeny; while the female loves them
so tenderly that if she cannot save them
in circumstances of pril she prefers to
perish with them. rThe love which she
bears to her little ones she does not ex
tend towards her mate. Sometimes,
after having in vain attempted to pre
vent him from devouring their offsprmng,
the idea appears suddenly to present it
self to her mind that the cannibal is
himself good for food, on which she
instantly falls upon him and eats him
up.
Sheep-.Raislng In Montana.
Judge Davenport, of Montana Terri
tory, says an exchange, purchased 1,000
ewes which cost him about $3,000O. He
Put these in charge of a young man who
was to take them on to a range, take all
the care of them, pay all the expenses of
the band and to receive as his share one
half of the wool produced and one-half
the increase of the flock. At the end of
four years a settlement was to be made
and Judge Davenport was to receive back
1,000 of the best ewes which the band
contained. Whaen the settlement was
made Judge Davenport had received for
his share of the proceeds of the wool
66,500, and for his share of the increase
1)8,000. The pronits on the investment
of *3,000 for four years were *14,500, or
120 2'-8 per cent, per annumi.

-How to Travel Like Lightning.
An imaginatke Xaan proposes the fol.
lowing plan by which he holds it possible
to transport Ireight and passengers by
rail from Ne York to San Francisco in
ten hours. What the freight or passen
gers would be good for when delivered
he does not pretend to say. The plan is
this: , "A fair rate of speed for a railway
train is forty miles an hour. The dis
tance from Now York to San Francisco
is, rodghl., three thousand miles. I
would divide this distance into thirty
parts, with stations at every 100 miles.
First atrack," not dixering greatly from
the ordinary railroad track, should be
laid for a hundred miles, and it is only
necessary to study rapid transit accord
ing to my~plan over this section of tho
road to understand how the whole systemn
would work. Over the first track of 100
miles, and running over cannon balls
upon the track, is another, say 90 miles
long, on which, in turn, is another, 80
miles long, and so on till on the whole
system the freight and passenger train
runs, it being of any desired and practi
cable stgength. Sulose it is required
to go from A Io B, a distance of 100 miles
the stable track over which all the
others run is, of course, 100 miles long,
and the first movable track upon it is 90
miles long. Lot -tbe first movable track
be drawn by a stationary engine the 10
remaining 10 miles, whereby one of its
extremities will reach B and let us say
that it tAkes fifteen mifites for it to move
through the tsn'miles. In the meantime
the track'eighty miles long which runs
on the track lainety miles long will have
been advanced ten miles by the motion
of the ninety mile track, and will itself
(either. by means of a stationary engine
or a locomotive) have advanced ten miles
on its own hook, so that in all it will have
gone twenty miles in the fifteen minutes,
and its extremity will reach B at the
same time that B is reached by the
ninety mile traok. So -with the seventy,
the sixty, the fifty tracks, and up to the
passenger and freight trains, which will
reach 13 as soon as the ninety mile track
reaches B-that is to say, in fifteen min
utes, at the end of wInch it will have
traveled about 100 miles. Perhaps the
following statement will make the mat
ter clearer. Let us call the ninety milo
track A., the eighty mile track B, and so
on. A is drawn ten miles, carrying with
it B for the same distance. But B has
a motion of its own and travels over ten
miles on its own account. It has there
fore gone 20 miles. C, with a ten mile
motion of its own over B, which draws
it along, has gone 30 miles; D, 40; E. 50;
F, 60; G, 70; H, 80; I, 90; J (which is
the passenger and freight. train), 100
miles, and all in fifteen minutes. The
whole system of tracks need not be more
than four or five feet in height. With
sulicient power the schemo is practica
ble, and with motors at present at our
conmmand it would work for short dis
tances. -Scientific 4 mericanl.

The Tables Turned.
President Diaz, of Mexico, had a nar
row ecapeh) not long ago. It is his habit
to go out shooting on Sunday near the
city, attended only by his little son, his
nephewv, one servant and three or four
friends, and a plan had been formed to
surround and capture the party and hold
the President to ransom. Fortunately,
he was detained one Sunday, just as lie
was about to leave the National Palace
by some important telegrams, which re
quired his immedIiate attention, andl in
this way escap)ed, the b~andl of robblers
being themselves surprised as they were
lying in wait for him.

Beef Teas
Mr. Wilkinson of St. Mary's ]KoSPital,
London, advises the following itnproved
metliod of preparing beef tea:
The meat is out into small pieces and
placed in the evening, in an earthenware
vessel with sufficient cold water p cover
the meat; in this it is allowed to remain
all night. In the morning the meat is
taken out, placed in other water, and
boiled for several hours. The meat of
the provious day is then passed throu h
a mincing mach,ine, and piqt into, the
coldliqnor in which the meat qas dWeed
the previous night,'and upon this the
boiling liquor from the da *s beef tea
is poured, and the whole we irrd d
it then forms the- complete bee te. The
characteristics of good beef tea are that
all the nutritious elements of thb beef
should be made available; and 'by the
process carried out as above this is effect
ually done, the albumen, fibrine, and
gelantino being all retained and taken
by the patient. Moreover, by tho above
method a much smaller quantity of'nicat
is required than under the .ordinary
mode, and it would, consequently, not
becomo a jelly if allowed to stand; but
by adding a larger quantity of beef this
result could of course be obtained.
(This forms with us what is called beef
jelly.) It should, however, be remarked
that in very, hot weather the beef tea
cannot be made in this manner, as it
would become sour from tho length of
time required for its preparation.
Busy Men.
Busy men of affairs like Thiers have
often surprised the world by the extent
of their literary labors. Bossuet was a
prolific writer, and the following pas
sage from the newly published "Ecrits
Inedits" of St. Simon explains how he
reconciled his literary tastes with his
absorbing duties of bishop of . Meaux:
"Ho know so much, and with so much
order And method, that he wrote with
astonishing facility. Ho, like the poets,
hadt no fixed hours for work, though he
worked a great deal daily. At night he
had a fire, a light, a pair of pantaloons
and a dressing gown near his bed, and
nearly every night he rose and worked
alone several hours. People who were
ignorant (if th's circumstance were often
very mu ch surprised that lie was not out
of his chamber at 11 a. i., and that soolt
after he rapily dressed to say mass. Ho
had worked1 until f, 7 and 8 a. in., car
ried away by his abundance and subject.
The quantity of works he has loft is
prodigious, and with so many, such con
tinual and such varied labors, he none
the less proved to be an excellent bishop,
visiting and preaching himself to his
flock, and ho measured his teachings to
their mind."
"Ah !" said Gilhooly, yesterday morn
ing, "I've done one good act." "Sent a
barrel of flour to the p~oorhouse ?" "Bet
tor thian that I've just told D)eSnmith, who
don't stand a ghost of a show, that lie
will be nominated by acclamation."
"Well, that is one of those kindnesses
that do a great deal of good and don't
cost anything." ''The mischief it don't
cost anything ! I borrowed $2 from him
on the strength of it. "--Galreston Ncws.

or quite as mitch from'the chafing of a

one of the severest punishments. Either

surface denuded' f its ski, and showing
the highest poSsible state of sensibility.
The average horse will do this, shrink
ing at every step. A horse learns to
dread the approach of the master or
driver with harness in hand, if this has
previously been a source of torment, or
even discomfort. A horse properly han
dled for a period, in a well-fitted harness,
then chancing to fall into the hands of a
bungler, will at once detect the undue
tightness or looseness of the. strap, and
will not settle down to his usual gait con
tentedly, while tho irregularity remains.
A spirited horse may, under such an irri
tating influence, do from downright fear
what may be wrongly charged as vicious
ness. Heavy strokes of the whip may
fall upon the irritated beast only to be
followed by evil results.
Among the every-day torments to
which the horse is subjected, we will
enumerate the following: 1st. Abraded
breast. 2d. Inflamed back from defect
ive saddle or harness pad. .2d. Sore
mouth from a too tight gag-rein, a severe
bit, or both. 4th. sore tail from a too
tight or ill-made crupper. 5th. An
abrasion under the body, caused by a too
tight or badly-fitted belly-band. 6th.
Irritation of , the eyes from blinders
being strapped too close together, or on
the other hanid Are 'allowed to swing
around, first sriking one' eys and then
the other. Lth.. Ear chafed by the
brow band being placed too high, or by
metallic rogetteswitha sharp outer rinm,
the base of the ear premsing across this
at every motion.. 8th. e .excessive
fatigue of all: thie ty:ucturr* of the neck
under the inflybneg' of the bearing rein.
The bearing rein, i'Made thut, and kept
so for any considerable length of time, is
a source of great discomfort to all horses,
and an insufferable torment to many. A
tant rein can be used with entire pro
priety on horses of fine easy up-carriage,
especially while im motion; but if the
muscles and bony structure of the neck
extend forward horizontally from an up
right shoulder, rather than striking out
from a slanting shoulder, then the most
intense suffering will be inflicted by
Btraininlg the neck up to an angle entirely
unnatural to the animal, especially if this
strain be long kept up. To strain a cul
prit up by the thumbs, till only his toes
touch the ground, is certainly one of the
severest admissible punishments that can
be inflicted upon mortal. and the check
rein is undoubtedly akin to it, in its ex
tremie application.
