An old cavalryman says that a
horse will never step on a man in•
tentiunally. It is a standing order
with cavalry that should a man be.
come dismouiited'he must lie down
and be perfectly still. If he does
so the entire company will pass over
him and he will not be injured. A.
horse notices where he is going and
is on the lookout for a Arm •found•
.tion to put his foot on. It is an
instinct with him, therefore, to step
over a prostrate man. The injuries
caused by a runaway horse are near•
ly always inflicted by the animal
knocking people and not by his
stepping on them.
TOE WEIGHT OF A SIGNATURE.
A Wonderful pair of Scales that 'weighs
the hairs un a man's head.
In a Broadway' store, wliioh is a
branch cf a big out of town' scale
factory, are more different kinds of
scales than most people imagine
were ever made. There are speci-
mens of every grade of weighing
machine, from the big track scales
that can weigh a railroad car full of
big lead down to a tiny balance so
fine that it is kept in a glass case
which could be carried in one's
pocket. The emalleet scales of all
are made for delioate tests in assay.
ing. They are adjusted to mili
grammes and are so sensitive and
so fine that an eyelash can be cor-
redly weighed on them. You can
write your name on u slip of paper
with a lead pencil and then find
out just how mush your signature
weighs. The weights aro the mere
atoms of aluminum, not half so
large se the bead of a pin. The
machine is so delicate that a little
duet blowing in from the street
might affect its working, and it has
to be carefully cleaned after each
exposure. It is made of aluminum,
platinum and the finest temperer]
steel, and people do not use it as a
plaything as a general rule. It
costs as much as its weight in gold.
The manager took au ordinary slip
of writing paper and weighed it. It
weighed thirty-eight miligrammes.
He then save it to the visitor, with
a lead pencil, and the visitor wrote
'John Henry Learned' on it in a full,
free hand. then the manager put
the slip back nn the Beale and filled
in the little weights. When he
struck a balance again he had forty-
three miligrammes on the other
side. The signature weighed pre-
cisely five miligrammes. Then the
man palled a hair out of his head
and the manager found it weighed
three miligrammes. An eyelash
weighed a little less than one mili•
gramme, and a hair front his whisk.
ers weighed five miligrammes. The
manager showed how easy it was to
count the hair on a man's head. A.t
the rate of three miligrammes to a
hair there would be 8,000 hairs in
an ounce. The man probably had
three ounces of hair on his head
and therefore 24,000 hairs.
]tow to Paper Rooms.
'1'hie is not a poetic subject, and
es a work that all avoid who can,
yet it has to bedone, and often the
amount is so trifling that many will
do it themselves rather than bother
with employing a professional, For
such some instructions may be uee-
ful. The task is not as difficult as
might be imagined. To clean the
wall with a solution of white glue
makes a good beginning. In mak-
mg the paste, add an ounce of pul•
verized alum to every ponnd of sift-
ed flour, mix Smoothly with cold
water, and pour over it gently, but
quickly, boiling water, stirring con•
stantly. When done it should
stand until perfectly cold. The wall
should be smooth, and if dirty or
greasy epota appear on it before
papering, it should be washed with
lye. The edge of the paper must be
neatly trimmed down to the pattern.
A long table or wide board should
be provided upon which to lay the
paper. Then all the full breadths
required fur the room can be out
acrid should be matched. Always
begin at the right-hand side and
work to the left. Lay the breadths
as cut, one on another, and epread
the top ono with Baste. In putting
on the wall, carefully adjust the top
to its plane, gently preseing it with
a large, soft oloth, fuel down the
middle of the breadth and then to
the edge, 'When the paper is all on,
the border may be tacked oti• or past•
ed, aB desired.
In soleating wall paper, oven of a
cheap quality, much good' taste torte
bo dieplayod. Striking couiraete
should be avoided ; ebooss neutrol
tints and colors that harmonize with
the general tone of the enrroundiogs.
If the ceilings are low, paper which'
runs perpendicularly 'will maks
them appear higher. Wall paper is
usually half a yard wide and con.
Dims eight yards to the roll.
After papering a room no fire
should bo made in it for several days'
or until entirely dry.
How to clean Oilcloth..
.oilcloth ougth never to be scrub•
bed with a brush, bus sifter being
swept may be cleaned, by waehmg
with a soft flannel and.'luliewerut
water or cold tea. On no account
use soap or water that is hot, as
either would have a bad effect on
the paint. Wieu oileoth is dry, rub.
it well with a email portioe of a,
mixture of beeswax, softened with
a minute quantity of tnrpentiuo,
using for this purpoee a soft furui
ture polishing brush. Tlie,follow•
ing id else used to make oilcloths
look well : wash then once a month
with skim -milk mud water equal,
quauntitos of mete; rub tbeni ouco;
in three months with boiled lmsoed'
oil ; put on a very little, rub it well
iu with a rag and polisb with 5'
piece of old silk.
