jlace having been taken largely by steam wstels and therefore fewer blocks are re- quired to supply the demand, but great tmmbers are required for the coasting ketsand yachts. Within comparatively ment years the use of pulley blocks on ad has increased enormously, so that the giregate consumption of blocks continues try large.
Wooden blocks are made most common- ywith an ash shell and lignum vite in smaller and medium sized tocks the shell also is sometimes made of ‘gum vite. The use of wire rope in Wire halyards are howused to some extent on yachts, as well Wire standing rigying, and where such
are used metal sheaves are sub-
Rituted for those of wood. The blocks of ‘big. heavily sparred stearn yacht, say lwkentine rigged, might cost $1,500. On the great number of sailboats and small jwhts there are used many little blocks of lvanized iron.
Un shore there are now used in cities
numbers of little blocks for pul- ky lines for drying clothes. Such blocks
&e made of iron and of wood in various Syles. In a city like New York hundreds af of such blocks are in use. The demand for the very largest of blocks foriand use has also grown within very heent years, such blocks being now used "ey extensively on the heavy derricks ployed in the construction of the tall =odern buildings. Big blocks used on derricks with manilla rope are made with Wooden shells and iron sheaves. Blocks used with wire rope are all iron. The use of iron blocks is increasing. The great Wooden blocks are made up to 16 inches in
h. Iron blocks are made up to 17 bes and sometimes to order still larger. ~New York Sun.

Pl.e..omenal Success of Diamond Dyes,
They Have Many Poor Ini- tations.
The phenomenal snccess of Diamond Dyes in every land has brought forth many imitations, both home and foreign. Al! these imitation productions are composed of cheap and worthless ingredients, very destructive to the material operated upon. Tne crude materials employed by the manufacturers of imitation dyes cost buta fraction of what is paid for the Diamond Dyes color stock.
In the prepraration of Diamond Dyes no common soap grease is used; nor is any foreign ingredient used as a partof the mixture to increase the bulk, All adulter- ated dyes are fatal to guod materiale. Beware of these common dyes if you value morey, time and goods.
Diamond Dyes are the only up-to date and fully warranted dyes inthe world; they are the acme of perfection in every point that insures success to the women of our country.
Nervous Children,
Nervois children will not bear very much cold bathing. They have not got heat enough in their bodies to react against it. Do not demand too much ex- ercise from them.
Do not let them study too much or go to school too early. Of course their minds must be pleasantly employed, and the kindergarten may be available after they are 3 years old. Cultivate in them a love of nature and outdoor life, especially in pleasant weather, This is the true, grand kindergarten. Do not forget they need companionship.
Give them a good, comfortable bed, where the air is pure, and do all you can to promote healthful sleep. A little easily digested food before bedtime often helps them to sleep more soundly than they oth- erwise would.

‘‘Yer a liar,’’ said Klondike Kit, as he scooped a handful of nuggets from the pan, ‘‘I said yer could take yer pick.’’— Detsoit Free Press.

The Crater of Kilaues.
You step out on the crust of the rolling sea of rounded and hardened lava billows beside your path, and the surface crackles under your feet like the snow crust o2 a crisp winter morning. Its glittering, iri- descent colors please the eye and tempt you to carry away a veritable load of the spar- kling, glassy pieces. Here and there, even at a distance from the edge, the fern spores have taken root and relieve the eye with their graceful waving fronds—and this on a soil like glass and formed no one knows how long ago, though its surface appears as fresh as if laid down yesterday.
On you go, punching the crust in front of you vigorously with a staff to deterinine whether it is safe or not, until finally, ait- er about 200 yards of such material has been crossed, you reach the rounded edge of the caldron itself, perhaps after some slight scares and probably getting your staff on fire once or twice.
Here you pause for a moment to pick out a way up the side, which varies in height from 10 to 30 feet, and is composed of masses of slag of all sizes, joined to- gether by lava which has forced its way out between the blocks. Here and there you notice that through some of the larger
openings the white hot fluid is running |
out upon the floor and often in quantities which would make an ordinary blast fur- nace blush with shame. Here you can study on a small scale all the phenomena of a lava flow—the forenation of tho crust, the fissures and many other phenomena. At length you pass, by a few steps, to the rim, and there before you is the sea of laya in all its terrible brilliancy.—Harper’s Magazine. —_—— ——— i> <a»

Miraculously Saved.
A Young Man Rescued From Disease aud Death
By Paine’s Celery Compound,
A Poisoned System Completely Renewed,
The following case needs but few intro- duc ory remarks. Mr. M.D, Arttur, of Chelmsford, Oot., was in terrible agony from blood poisoning; his whole system was run down; he was weak, yer, nizh unto death. The doctors were defeaved in their efforts to get rid of the poison and hope hard almost fled.
The yourg man’s aunt providentially came to his aid at this most critical period and urged the use of Paine’s Celery Com- pound, nature’s cleanser and healer. The medicine was used and a glorious victory over death was the result.
Mr. Arthur, the cured man, writes as followe :
“With great pleasure I write about your wondrous medicioe, Paine’s Celery Com- pound. I was laid up with ecars all over my face and neck,. the result of blood poisoning. While in that condition I could not sleep at night, I had no appetite, and could pot attend to my work. I tested the skill ofall the doctors in the district and used their medicines, but was not benefitted.
“JT think I was miraculously saved at Jast. My aunt came here from Campbell- ford and bought with her some Paine’s Celery Compound which she was then using to advantage. She advised me to we the medicine, and I did so to please her. I bleas the day I commenced with Paine’s Celery Compound. In two weeks I was so much better I could go out, and in three weeks I was able to resume work again.
“T cannot say sufficient in praise of the great healing medicine. I would not be without it if [had to pay ten dollars a bottle for it,”

LESSONS FROM THE OYSTER.
Many a Pearl of Wisdom to Be Gleaned From His Life.
The oyster is pre-eminently a creature of leisure, and he consequently has 1uch time at his disposal for thinking aid re- flection, and in the absence of proof to the contrary we are obliged to accept tho de duction that he employs that time profit- ably, though he may keep his wisdum to himself and employ it for his own uses, He certainly has reduced light housckeep- ing toafine art. He lives right in the water; hence the question of water supply and drainage is one that he never has to concern himself about.
He manpages also that the water shall bring him his food; consequently matters of commerce, of supply and demand, the prices of commodities and other questions which worry cther members of the animal creation, whether they are quadrupeds or bipeds, or whether they walk on the earth, fly through the air or swim in the water do not concern him. As for his house, as soon as he settles down, after a very brief period of wandering and sowing his wild oats, he builds it himself right out of the material brought to him by the accommo- dating water, and thereafter he lives a lifo of ease.
He knows perfectly well that things will come his way. He doesn’t even bother with having legs and eyes, for he has no need of transportation; he does not need to see in order that he may gather his food and he finds no necessity for idly gaping about and thus uselessly exciting his nerv- ous organization. He sits down under his roof, if not under his own vine and fig tree, and enjoys a life of quiet and dignity. He has enemies, but he does nothing to stir them up, since he eschews all religious and political controversies, and he thus manages to retain the good will of all the denizens of the land and sea. There are many lessons indeed to be gleaned from the life of the oyster that we might learn and follow with profit.—Pittsburg Dis- patch.
Music In a Tomb.
When in Greece, I twice heard concerts in strange places. On the first occasion a musical society of Patras gave an enter- tainment on the very summit of Mount Parnassus, several hundred feet above the ancient town of Arachova. The number of instrumentalists was about 40, and the audience amounted to 30 or thereabouts.
Another entertair}nent of this nature in Greece was at a musical performance which took place in the tomb of Agamem- non at Mycenz, on the occasion of the visit of a philharmonic society of Nauplia to the ancient residence of the “king of Rings.’’
The tomb bears some resembiance to « pyramid, and the interior is divided into @ vast hall and a smaller chamber for the sarcophagus. So dark was it inside that the band had to play by torchlight. The performance may haye been somewhat ghastly, but it was decidedly original.— Pearson's Weekly.
Children of the Sun,
We have been called ‘‘children of the sun,’’ and there is truth as well as poetry in the designation. Year by year the man of science drags himself a little closcr to the great central Gngine. When Faraday in his mind’s eye saw lines of force trav- ersing space, and when his great disciple Maxwell bequeathed to us the electro mex- netic theory of light, men of science felt that a path had been steked out across the maze of solar mysteries. The sun no !on- ger shone as a giver of heatand light only, for in the ether were nervelike waves of every description. Children of the sun, we respond not only to the great pericdic changes, but to every passing spasm and disturbance. Auroras are associated with solar change. In studying them we may fathom the secrets of the sun.—‘‘What Is an Aurora?’’ by Alexander McAdiv, in Century.
What He Took,
The Louisville Post says that three men walked into a Louisville drug store the other day and one ordered drinks. He and one of the others asked for soda water, and then the clerk turned to the third.
‘*What will you have, sir?’
The man looked at the one who +as treating and said:
‘*You know I don’t like soda, John.’’
Then, turning to the clerk, he said:
“‘Give me five postal cards,.’’
Paris is the paradise of the dressmr ker. There are in the city 70,000 persons who make articles of women’s dress and 65,000 dressmakers. It has been estimated that the yearly amount carned in this bysiness there is over $250, 976,000.
Fifteen million cows are required for the milk trade of this country, and they are fed on the produce of 60,000,000 acres of land.
has just been received of a consider able advance in the prices of Waltham and Elgin watch movements. We have a large stock on hand bought be- fore the rise, which we will sell at old prices while they last.
