Irfhinarttne's Barher Still Alive.
Lamartine's barber, a certain M.
Isopy, is (says a Paris correspondent)
still alive. Me is just ninety-two. anil
his greatest delight is to talk of his
hero. He treasurers up a faded daguerreotype
of the sentimental politician,
who. having been the dominant figure
in France, died in obscurity. M. Ispoy's
ehow was the favorite gathering place
of the celebrities of '48. It is probable
that M. de Lamartine, who used
rx rr?/Ar? hie hnir<1rPR<pr fn \f.ipnn
ployed him as an emissary in those
ffjrbulent days. It was pleasing to
know from such an authority that
Ramartine was the inventor of "genuine
bear's grease from Russia." and
that this unguent was the cause of the
poet's silky lyclts.

An accomplishment that receives too
little attention among trained nurses
is the art of reading aloud. Only
those who have had to lie on a sick
bed through long weeks and months
can appreciate the comfort of being enabled
to listen to intelligent reading.
A gentle, pleasantly inflected voice, a
clear and distinct articulation, and an
intelligent comprehension of the mat- ;
ter read have a soothing effect upon j
the most irritable nerves, and for that j <
reason should be considered desirable j
minii0mtinns in a sick nurse. There |'
*
are many people who cannot afford the j i
expense of having both a companion i
and a nurse. but a nurse who can be a j i
companion as well must be considered , 1
an acquisition indeed.

Slnglnc Spiders.
A naturalist who has given many :
? .V- t
years oi siuuj iu suuic ui iuc iiuaun |
forms of insect life has discovered that ;1
certain sorts of spiders are possessed J
Df organs for which there seems to 1
be no use save to create sound. They 1
are mostly used when the little crea- i
tures are alarmed, although the opin- ''
ton is held by some that this is theii f
means of calling to their mates. The i *
yarn idea, however, has some suppori |1
fa the case of the rattlesnake, which j(
is provided with the means of making ;1
its presence known whenever an enemy ?
approaches. Whether the possession of ?
organs for creating sound is designed *
merely as a protection or warning is 1
a point to which naturalists are giving 1
careful and enthusiastic attentiion. J

,, STEEL WOOL.
A Curious Material That Is I'sod as a Substitute
For Sandpaper.
Steel wool, introduced five or six
years ago, is a machine-produced material
that is used as a substitute for
sandpaper. It is composed of sharpedged
threads of steel, which curl up
together like wool, or somewhat as
the wood fibres of the familiar material
known as excelsior curl up to
gether, though the steel wool is very i
much fiuer; the liuest of it being not |
much coarser than the coarsest of
natural wools. The steel wool is put
up in packages containing one pound
each. These are something like rolls
of cotton batting, but smaller, a
pound of steel wool, loosely packed,
making, rolled in paper and open at
the ends, a package perhaps fifteen
inches long and two or three inches
in diameter.
Made in various degrees of coarseness,
steel wool is put to a variety of
uses, the finer wools for polishing
wood and metal, and the coarser for
rubbing down paint and varnish. It
is often used on special parts of work. .
while, for example, on the fiat surfaces
of a door a man would use sand- 1
paper with a block back of it; for the
mouldings ho would use steel wool,
which fits iuto the crevices aud conforms
itself to irregular shapes. Such
work can be done with steel wool famore
readily and quickly than with
sandpaper; and it is used with like
"* ' * 1 II
advantage on irregniar aim siuau surfaces
and on carved work.
Besides the steel wool tbere is a
joarser material of the same kim".
;alled steel shavings, which is put to i
various uses; as in taking off old pniut
ir varnish, and in polishiug wood before
painting and it is used on bowling
alleys aud on floors for smoothing
ind cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs in use, steel wool
breaks down. The wool is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends
'rem sticking into the fingers.?New

A Costly Chinene Confection.
"The Chinese have a strange idea of
able delicacies," said a gentleman of
his city who has taken much interest;
u local mission work. "A few days
igo I received a small jar filled with a
aeculiar brownish paste, which was
sent me as a present by a young Ciiiramau
who used to have a laundry
lere, but is now living in San Franiisco.
A letter which accompanied
he gift explained that tho paste was
i combination of peanut buds and ginger
jelly. That sounds like a joke, bni
t isn't. If you will break opeu the kerjel
of a peauut you will find at tho j
>ase a little cone-shaped formation
lsually surmounted by two microscopic
leaves. It is the lifo germ of :
lie nut, and, if planted, would de- i
relop into a tree. As my friend Wong j
>xplainert to me, tne nuts are nrsr 1
oasted aud then the minute growths I
ire carefully extracted. They are so
imall it takes many thousands of them
o fill a tea cup. but when a sufficient
lumber is collected they aro put in a
nortar and ground into fine flour,
vhich is subsequently mixed with
he ginger jelly and rubbed down to a I
imooth paste. That sent me was about ;
he consistency of cream cheese, and '
t had a peculiar aromatic taste that 1
vas rather pleasant. It is oue of the !
jueer semi-confections that the Chi- I
lese like to nibble at between courses, j
md as it costs $10 an ounce it is lit- ;
;rally worth almost its weight in gold, j

A New Food For Campaigning.
The military papers report that ex- j
>erimeuts are being made in Germany
vith a view of testing the merits of a
lew description of food for use in
lampaiguing. The food consists of a
>iscuit, which its inventor claims is a
lerfect substitute for bread, and of
neat aud vegetables preserved by a
neeial process. All that is known of
he biscuit is that eggs cuter into its J
lomposition. As to the preserves,they
ire meant to provide hot dishes, aud
heir special feuturo is the short time ! .
n which they can be cooked, teu mil}- ( j

Heating Capabilities of Wood.
from time immemorial soft wood
/las been regarded as comparatively
valueless for heating purposes. Han?
wood has brought high prices and has
been in much greater demand than
soft, on account of this generally prevailing
notion. Experiments with
woods of various sorts have demonstrated
that the linden, which is one ol ~
the softest of woods, gives the greatest 1
amount of heat. The value of other I
woods in their order, as ascertained, i= I
as follows: Fir with 0.99 heating
power; next follow the elm and pine
with 0.98; willow, chestnut and larch
with 0.9Z; maple, spruce and fir with
0.9C; black poplar with 0.95; alder and | Q
white birch with 0.94 only; then comes
the hard oak with 0.92; the locust and
the white beech with 0.91, and the red
beech with 0.90. Hence hard wood j Tl
heats the least." It is one of the remarkable
facts of the day that so many
honrlpc that have been held for manv
years are fast giving way before the j
tritieal analysis of science.
