New System of Building.
A very favorable account is given in the
'French papers of the new system of
'building bonen of iron and steel plates,
introduced into Frenee by M. Daniel',
manager of the Societe des Forges de
Ohoteleneem, who has set forth its various
advantagewith muck practical detail,
attraoting oensiderable attention to the
method. It has been satisfactorily ether -
Mined, it seem, thet corrugated sheets of
•each metal, of more than a millimeter in
thioknese, tire sufficiently strong for build-
ing houses several stories high, and the
imaterial, of course, allows of a con-
aiderable variety of architectural ornamen-
tation.
The plates thets„eraployed are of the
fineet quality, and Ile they are galvanized
after having been out to the sizes and
shapes required no portion is left exposed
to the atmosphere. In addition to this it
is asserted that houses constructed in snob
manner are very smeltery, and that all
ventilation and heating arrangements can
readily be carried out. In England this
system of building has found much favor,
the Buperiority of the new' over the old
system consisting in the method of °ono -
gating and galvanizing the metal.--Phila.

A. Refreshing Bath.
A warm salt beth is very refreshing to
any one suffering from the exhaustion of
trovel or of a long shopping expedition --
which is as trying to mind and body as
anything that oan be undertaken by a
woman. Away from the seashore a very
simple substite for sea water is a oup of
rook salt dissolved in warm water and
added to the bath. When the salt is irri-
tating th the skin take a warm bath and
sponge off with a mixture of violet or
lavender water lend alcohol, about hedf
and half, and rab briskly witli a 'warm
friction towel. Such a method prevents
the exhartation and danger of cold which
follow a warm bath.—New York Tribune,

A New Star in the English-Bpeaking
Literary World.
Mr, lannyard Kipling, like Lord Byron,
awoke one morning and found himself
famous. Not yet 25 yore of age, and a
year ago nothing in the literary world, he
is now the literary hero of the present hour
in England ; and if the strong wine of
praise which is premed to hie lips does not
raake him lose hie bead, he rney yet fill a
larger canvas than be has yet essayed. He
was born in India, hia father having boon
head of the Lahore nohool of Art, and was
educated in England, returning whou 16
years of age to the land of his birth. Since
then he has travelled through the United
States, and as special correspondent in
India has gone through the deserte
of Bikanir and the mines and
opinra factories of Lower Bengal,
his name being a household
word throughout alonost the entire
Empire. It is in the portrayal of Anglo-
Indian and native Indian life that his
genius bas found it outlet, and his eeleo-
tion of short stories entitled "Plain Toles
from the Hills," published by Frank T.
Lovell & Co., New York, display a wonder-
ful power of character drawing, and that
perception of the essential which belongs
only to the born story -teller. Mr. Kip-
linget sketthea of native Indian life are the
result of conscientious labor. His inf or•
mation has been obtained at tint -hand in
the very laesat of native cities, in dens no
European ever penetrated before; and,
with a happy knack of making people talk
for his entertainment, his researolaes have
been facilitated by a perfect mastery co
Hindustani as taught in books, and also of
an inner -life familiar tongue, known in
India bazars as " ohotee boleet" words
of which "women's talk" is a very
free translation. He has an incisive
power of representing in half a
dozen pages a complete action, and
much of his work is of a very high
imaginative quality. No one hitherto has
attempted to treat Tommy Atkins, the
13ritish soldier, as a separate human entity
instead of the 900th component part of a
whole, but Mr. Kipling has represented
him as he is. He has intense, untiring
sympathy with Tomtay ; he has eaten and
drank with him, and has eraoked corantlees
pipes in his company, and as a result his
types are living types, palpitating with
actuality, rude figures or a rough-hewn
race, and unlike anything in literature.
The three characters in whom he most
(delights are Mulvaney the Celt, Learoyd
the Yorkshireman, and Ortherie the Cock-
ney, and they are simply as inimitable as
Athos, Porthos and Ararais. The stifling
atmosphere of the plains and the' languor-
ous delights of Slink are all depicted by
him with masterful vigor and exquisite
grace, and while as a satirist his eye is
keen, hie touch is gentle and kindly. He
may yet, as a high literary authority has
said, become a second Dickens.
Blood in the Body.
The amount of blood he the body is one -
thirtieth the weight of the body, or five or
six quarts, or eleven or twelve pounds. The
average man dies when he has lost one-
fifth of hie blood. The heart with each
contraction ejects SIX ounces of blood from
each ventricle, at a preasnre in the left ven-
tricle of one-fourth of an atmosphere. The
heart sends all the blood around the body
of the average man once every thirty sec-
onds, or in about thirty-five contractions of
the organ. A deadly poison initiated into
the veins kills in fifteen seconds on the
average ; injected under the skin in about
four minutes. A cubic millimeter of blood
contains 5,000,000 blood cells in the average
man, and about 4,500,000 in the average
woman. There are 300 red cells to every
one white blood cell. The red cells have
an average diameter of 1-3200 of an inch,
the white cells of 1-25000 of gal inch. The
specific gravity of blood is 1.055. The fre-
quency of the pulse in the new born is 150;
in infants 1 year old, 110; at 2 years, 95 ;
from 7 to 14, 85; in adult man, 75; woman,
80. The respirations are one-fourth as
rapid as the pulse.—St. Louis Republic.

The Beacon Light's Awful Experienee in
the Foga
0 A.1.1i ELLIOTT'S COOLNESS.
The now oil -tank steamer Beemon Light
had a narrow eneepe /root sinking after
collielon with a mamsnoth feebleroff the
Great Inunts lest Wednesday. A''oalamitY
was only Averted through the prottence
mind of Ceptain EDiott. When Ohs Struck
the thy derelict, tont: of the oroshed upon
her decks, shattering her etarboard bow
and starting several plates. The steamer
came to anchor off Liberty Ieland yester.
day leaking very fast, and her steam
pumps had to be kept in constant motion.
A New York World reporter bonded her
and Mato Chau gave hira an 50(10111at of
the col/hion.
The Beacon Light is a recout addition to
the repinly growing fleet of oil tanks run-
ning to thie port. he flailed from New.
castle seventeen days ago in ballast, carry-
ing 2,800 tous of water ballast. She is
built to carry 4,000 tons of oil.
The neve steamer had an uneventful voy-
age up to the time sho struck the Great
Bank. Then she began to encounter dense
fogs. On the night of May 13th it became
so foggy that Capt. Elliott decided to stay
on deok. The etearner was then itt latitude
42.65, longitude 48,18, or about 540 mites
east of Neve Sootia. At midnight Tuesday
both Capt. Elliott and Mate Chase were on
the flying bridge trying to peer throogh the
dense fog. The lookout was at his post and
the etearaer was going along at half opeed.
The air became somewhat colder, telling
Capt. Elliott that he was in the vicinity of
icebergs.
It was just the beginning of the middle
watch, ora little alter 12 o'clock Wednes-
day morning, when the lookout ehouted :
There's a light ahead'!" Scarcely had
the echoes of his words ceased when an
appalling sight was disclosed.
"lily God I" exclaimed the captain,
e there is an iceberg." Straight ahead,
less than fifty feet distant, was a towering
double -peaked ioy monster. The electric
search -light on the ahip's foremast shone
brilliantly on the mammoth and revealed
it in all ice awful grandeur to Capt. Elliott
and his terrified orew.
It was a moment of suspense and anxiety.
To strike the berg head on meant destruc-
tion to the Beacon Light. Clonrageous
young Capt. Elliott rose to the emergency
and by his calmness saved the ship and the
lives of hie crew.
"Helm hard to starboard; reverse en-
gines and full speed astern I " was the
quick commend. His promptness averted
to calamity. The good ship obeyed her
helm, swung to port, but not enough to
clear the berg. Her starboard bow caught
one of the berg's projections. The shook
was something terrific,. It seems to shatter
the big towering mass of ice all to pieces.
Its lofty meets, which toyeered far above
the decks of the Beacon Light, ehoWered
tons of massive cakes upon the ship's decks,
crashing in her steel bow and making such
O terrible noise that the crew rushed on
deok itt a frenzy of despair. They thought
it their death knell.
Then the ship keeled away over and fell
on her beam ends. This was quietly fol-
lowed by a bumping, crashing sound, as
though the berg had got underneath
the ship. When the mass of lee fell
big cakes sank far down into the sea
and then came to the Bledsoe
again, striking the ship jast amidships.
The pounding was done with such force
that she oakee of ice which got under the
shimeoirly lifted the big steel vessel tan
feet out of the sea. Then, to make matters
worse, there was a sudden confused sound
as though the boilers had burst. This,
however, was only the eacape of air from
some cf the tanks.
In retuorkable °maraca with the bravery
of Capt. Elliott was the conduct of his
crew. The firemen and cooks became wild
with fright. They were almost unoon-
trollable. They thought that their vessel
was wipe, to sink. Loudly they cried for
Capt. Elliott to clear away the boats. To
allay their fears and keep them quiet the
Captain did so, but hie-coolnese mad his
appeals for them so stanby him at limit
brought the crew to their senses. After
getting the boata loosened and ready for
use in case of necessity the crew went to
work and began to clear away the ioe,
which was lying in heaps about the deck.
Water was found entering several of the
tanks from the bottom and big perpendic-
ular support beams were almost bent in
two by the severe pentad -int; Which the ship
received from the ice Which got under her as
she Struck the berg. After starting the
thip continued:her voyage. The following
day she sighted oeveral very lame berge,
but they were not close enough to clause
any alarm.
The berg which tney collided with was
about one hundred feet high and over six
hundred feet long. Capt. Elliott soots it
was very soliclandnot in the least honey-
combed.
"It was," he said, "the grandest sight I
ever beheld to HOB the big avalanche of ice
drifting astern as we grazed it. As it came
out of the fog before we could •distinctly
ESO it, it looked like a cloud, but when it
revealed itself I was almost transfixed
with awe and fright. Our electric
search light shone upon it, which added
ite glistening grandeur. We saw it jest
in time. Had ray hip been travelling very
rapidly I dread to think whet would have
been the consequences. As it was, we were
only going at half speed, which enabled us
to stop our headway before we crashed
into it. ,
"11 the ship had struck the berg head on
she would have been shattered to pieces
without a doubt. The awful suspense
whiola (=erred between the time I sighted
the berg and when she struck was some.
thing terrible. It is an experience I never
want again. Our escape from destruction
was almost providential." .
The Beacon Light will be put on the dry
dock. It is thought that her bottom is
damaged very seriously. The Beacon
Light registers 2,800 tons. She is 332 feet
long, 40 feet wide and 28 feet deep. Her
owners are Shinn & Co., Liverpool, oil
merchants. She was built by Armstrong
& Co., of Newoaatle-on-Tyne.

Saved by a Dog.
About 4,000 anecdotes have been pub-
lished under the above title, in which dogs
have figured in preserving human life. We
had a dog once noted for saving things,
but there wasn't a life among them. He
kept the things he saved under the summer
kitchen, and his hiding place wasn't dis-
covered for a long time; not, indeed, until
it became necessary to tear up the kitchen
floor to find a good place to deposit
chloride of limo during a cholera season;
then we found what had bean" saved by a
dog."
There were a couple of kittens, a oat,
two or three rats and chicken, all very
dead; a large assortment of bones, the
remnants of an ottoman, for the.theft of
whisk the best hired girl we ever had was
discharged; a tomato oan a couple of tea-
spoons, a torn volume of lioyle's games, an
old hoopakirt, a canary bird, a nutmeg
grater, a plaster of Praia pigeon and a cook
book. It is rarely that there is so much
saved by a dog, for they are generally impro-
vident.—Texas Siftings.

The Carpenter, tl3e organ of the United.
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America, says that rip 0 date the eiglete
bour day has been seoured this season for
the carpenters in 27 cities and towns, af-
fecting 23,355 oarpenters. Nine cities aro

Confess Him Before Hen.
The following will appear in Henry M.
Stanley'a paper in " Scribner " for June -
" Constrained at the darkest hour to
humbly confess that without God's help
wao helpless, I vowed a vow in the forest
solitudes that I would confess His aid be-
fore men. Silence, as of death, was round
about me; it woe midnight; I was weak-
ened by illness, prostrated by fatigue, and
wan with anxiety for my white and black
companions, whose fate was a mystery.
In this physical and mental distress
besought God to give me back ray people.
Nine hours later we were exulting with a
rapturous joy. In fall view of all was the
criansonfiag with the oreseent, and beneath
its waving folds was the long -lost rear
olumn."
Bead Latin and Greek at Four.
Connop Thirlwall, afterward Bishop of
St. David's, could read Latin when 3 yeara
old, and at the age of 4 read 'Greek with
an ease that astonished all who heard him.
At 7 he composed an essay, On the Un-
certainty of Human Life," whittle was
afterward printed in his " Primitim," or
"First Fruits," publiehed when the boy
was only 11 years old. The history of
literature perhaps does not contain the
name of another whose first book was pub-
lishen when the writer woe not yet in his
teens. This book contains about forty
sermons, together with several essays and
poems.—New York Ledger.
He Had a Long Memory.
At a recent examination of the divinity
students in England, one very dull candi-
date was so ignorant that the bishop would
only consent to ordain him on condition
that he would promise to study "Butler's
Analogy "alter ordination. He made the
promise and was ordained. .He Was the
guest of the bishop, and so on his depar.
tun next morning the bishop shook him by
the hand, saying : " Good-bye,Mr. Brown;
don't forget the Butler." "1 haven't, my
lord," was the unexpected reply; "1 have
jetet given him five shillings. '—New York
Tribune.
"Your Grace."
It is told of the late Duke of Rutland
that he one day met the little daughter of
one of his gamekeepers. "Woll, little one,
he asked, "and what do you call yourself?'
"For what we are about to receive may
the Lord make OS truly thankful ; amen,"
was the astonishing reply. The child had
simply followed home instructions to the
effect that if the duke ahould ever address
her she should be sure to say" Your grace.'
