In July, 1870, fifty families just from
Sweden reached the heart of the Aroostook
wilderness in Maine, where, for their accom-
modation, were already erected twenty-five
rough log houses, each standing in five moos
of cleared land. They went to work itt the'r
new homes'and now eighteen years
after, New Sweden, as they called the col-
ony, contains 700 inhabitants, seventy good
log houses, thirty-two one -and -a -half story
frame houses, and forty log huts. There
are 130 farmers in the colony, owning on an
average, thirty acres of land each. There

The mystery of the sowalled Japan
magical mirrors, so far as the cause of their
reflecting objecte that are on the back side
of the mirror is ooncerned, appears to have
yielded to a little painstakingenvedigation.
They are thin metal hand mirrors, with raise
ed figures on the bath of them, and are cast
of an alloy of about eighty parts copper. and
twenty of tin making a very hard yet elastio
metal. In grinding the mirrors they are
presumably laid on it fiat plate, and the
grinding pressure and the thick parte, op-
posite the raised figures, are ground more
rapidly; the pressure removed, the plate
eprings beck, and the raimer is concave on
the face where the figures are. The light
reflected from this nurror will show' the
back, not from any =ghat power, bet be-
cause of the concave outface producect over
the figures -the result of aosident rather
than of design.

First 'expressions.
Every one who thinks at all knows that
all first impressions need to be aubmitted to
many tests before they can be wholly trust-
ed. Had we not learned this, we should
still be as infants reaching for the moon.
The impressions we first receive from the
WW1 and women aroond us afford but a
small fraction of the knowledge necessary to
fern even an approximate estimate of their
characters. Indeed they often come from
our own mood at the time the impression is
made and a more extended acquaintance
may sweep them away entirely. However
strong theoy may be, the plainest reason
demands our waiting for more light and
knowledge before forming any conclusion
or pronouncing any criticism.
Wolves Worked With Dogs.

One dog in each team makes himself mast-

II0t all, however, for he is pleased to
characterize the loyalty of Canada to British

to the Dated States," it "atudied affront,"

Tkere is nothing like the presence of a
real lady to keep a company of rough men
in order. She may not be handsome, she
may not be richly dressed, nor highly edit -
mated, but unless the men are vary low in-

A group of men was sitting in a railroad..

The men were of several grades of - may,
but most of them were of the herd -laboring -
classes, coarsely dressed, with hands rough-
ened by toil, and, what was worse, hearts
and minds seamed with the rude assniatione
which seem to be almost inseparable from it
life of hard manual labor. Their conversa-
tion was coarse, and sometimes it bordered
on the vulgar and profane.
Suddenly from the open window of the
ticket offioe came the low, musical tones of
a woman's voice singing an old familiar
hymn. La a moment, as if by magic, the
convereation was hushed, and the men list
ened, looking silently a molt other until the '
verse was ended.
For the moment the rough/nen were com-
pletely subdued. No more vulgar jokes
were heard; in fact, no one seemed to care
to renew the conversation. One by one
the men departed, and left tho singer m oc-
