Gideon married hor when he was away teaching school. And whan he writ home his aunt and me that he waa married to e girl who ployed ' Ophelia • in the oity theaytors, we writ back that we wouldn't o her in tho house !

Mrs. Grindle shook her head when first she saw Eatelle. 41 My dear,\ said she, \ you're a deal too slim to do the work of a house like Oils.\ Oh, but you don't know my capabili- ties,\ said Eatelle, laughing. \ Firat, I am going to straighten up your bod and pillows, and oomb your hair, and make you some beef-tea—then I shall go out Into the kitch- en, and give it a thorough cleaning—than I shall see to the milk and cream.\ At the end of two hours, Mrs. Grind!* drew a deep sigh of oontentment \ She'll do,\ said sh'v. \ I knowed it 1\ exultantly orlod the old fanner. \ She's as smart as * orlcknt!\ After a week of Eatelle's reign, the old farm-House looked like a different pluoo.

Up to 1884 the Bank of England, and private banks out of London with not more than six partners, oonld issue any number ef notes, the •< promise to pay \ on the faoe of which wail guaranteed only by the desire and ability of the Issuers to keenftitb with the holders of them; but by tMo t of that year all banks established subsequently i were prohibited from issuing notes, and the lame o* banks then existing was limited, In the oaae of the Bank of England the anna not, in aaparating the Lame department, de- fined the Umita within which the leans of notes upon securities moat be confined, and provided that the Bank ahould purohase any amount of gold offered to It at a certain fixed rate, ot, In other words, receive In de- posit any quantity at a certain rate tn ex- change for notes. Since 1884 the governors and directors of the corporation have had practically no control over tha Issue of notes. The reader wooden, perhaps, how it would be possible to pay all notes in gold when/15,000,000 of them are not repre- sented by gold in poeaesfeion of the Bank, but by seouritiee. The method has been luoidly explained by Thompson Han- key, Esq., aa «-goveruoT and one of the directors of tha Bank. Supposing that all tha notes outstanding, exoept the X1A.OOO,. 000 were praMnUd for payment, ther« would be enough gold In tha Bank to moot them at any hour of any day, and long be- fore the funds oould be reduced to fifteen mill Ions by any lagal prooeM tha Brink would begin to realiM on the 11S,000,000 of sedurstiea. Four millions of tha>acuritlet of a class Mleble at all timea, and thi remaining £11,000,000 are lo*n«d to th« government.

In one of the experimeata he K)k three-quarters of on ounoe. of starch, id, by niialng it as dust ia the air, ignited In a eot lpartment latended to rnnreaeat a Mhen exploded, It threw a box reigning Wx pounds twenty feet into the :. You oan Judge yourself of the powei tbe ma wrlal. Half an ounoe of starch Ignited id the same way waa shown by the rofeeeor to lift the oover of a box, and a heavy ma a standing on tt, three inohea. \ Oae rf the moat dangerous materials is » whea^ dust of flour mills. When bum- It goes' off like a flash. One of the first movements in making flour Is to rattia the wheat ana paaa a heavy draught at the same time over It to oarry off the highly inflam- mable doirt. Yet, despite all care, the air iften becomes perfectly loaded with it. >rof. Peak has shown what flour would do taking a box with a capacity of two cubic '•et and placing in it a litUe flour, Uie light a lamp; entering through a hole in one lorner arid the muzzle of a bellows through a other! The oover of the box was nailed i, and a, man took hia place on it.
