The best way to preserve a gun from rust-
ing is to have a ring of zies, ealdered round
the barrel, or, if it is net ooavenient to do
this, to have a long strip of zinc soldered
out of sight underneath the barrel. The
salvage action which is excited between
the zinc and the iron effectually prevents
the oxidation of either metal, and as long as
the zinc remains in contact with the iron
not a particle of rust will appear on either
the inside or outside of the barrel.
In the first piece do nos expect everlast-
ing wear of any umbrelle, no matter of what
cost ; and, in the second plate, treat it
well if you wish long service. It looks
neater to carry it furled on the street, but
it should be unfastened and shaken out
when not in use, to prevent the folds from
,splitting. An occasional coat of varnish
over the ferrule end will save it from look-
ing shabby, as the stick will get marred
there. When wet, dry partially with the
umbrella closed and resting with the handle
down. Clean a black umbrella, when spotted
with mud, with ammonia and water.
One of the most nutritious and healthful
of foods is honey. It is the one menet that
never clogs and can be eaten with irapunity
at all times. Let your children eat all the
bread and butter and honey they want.
Give them great slices of bread covered
with honey for their lancheons. It will do
them good. From the time the new honey
begins to come into the market until spring
I feed my children honey every day, says a
mother. If they have v. little cold or cough
and trouble with their throats I give them
strained honey mixed with a few drops of
lemon juice, and it proves meet effectual.
When they are hungry I give them a gener-
ous slice of bread arid butter covered thick
with honey, and they never get sick, as
they would eating sweetmeats, Jellies and
jams. From long years of experience I feel
Justified in recommending honey as an ex-
cellene and nutritive food, not only for
children, but for grown people.

Keeping booka in good condition is no
small task. On this subject a furniture
dealer, who happens to be a lover of books
as well, is quoted by the New York Times
as followe "Low book shelves have an
origin in a reason besides the caprice of
fashion. Heat is injurious to the binding
ot choice books, drying out the natural oil
of the leather and making them warp and
get out of shape. Most rooms are very
warm in the upper parts, and these five
and six foot bookcases are a necessity
rather than a notion. Cold is as hard
on books as over -heating, and an atmos-
phere' that is too damp or too dry also
injures them. The sun pouring in directly
on the shelves fades the bindinge. You can
have a cheerful, sunny library, and yet
keep the volumes out of the sun's full
power. A real book lover is like a horse
lover—the one will tend his library as the
other will his stables. I can tell when a
person takes up a book if he loves them or
not by the way he handles it. An open
fire is another necessity in a library; books
require good air like a human being, and
gas ought never to be used where valuable
books are kept. • Candles are hard on the
eyes, though, and therefore should be
avoided ; oil or electricity are all better
than gas, which acts as readily on bindings
as it does on silver. In lieu of tarnishing.
however, it affects their elasticity and
pliable qualitiee."

the autumn fashions may be seea epitomized

Au ingenious Clock.
In a little room on the Second fioor of the
Continental Building, corner of Fourth and
Olive streets, is a wonderful little piece of
mechanism, which. seems in many respects
i
to possess human instinct, if not ntellect
It is made entirely of brass, and has more
"wheels in its head" than any patient in
the insane hospital, and yet 11 18 entirely
capable of caring for itself. It is a clock
which winds itself, regulates itself at regu-
lar intervals, and conducts itself generally
in a quiet and orderly manner. The clock
is a complete and apparently perfect piece
of mechanism, and was perfected by the
inventor after several years of hard etudy
and tabor. It was mule by A. G. Wise-
man, a jeweller,' who has mewed a patent
on the clock,. and has several patents cover-
ing the derma required in the various
works which they carry out. The arrange-
ment is each that the clock only winds itself
after it is rundown. This is done bya device
whichestablishea aa electric cirouit as soon a
the clock runs down, and breaks it when its
is done winding. 'twin& once every hour,
and the process consutnes from five to seven
seconds. 13y means of another device
the clock is set, or synchronized, by tqe
electric current in conformity with other
clocks,as on railroads in cities and towns.
The winding device can be set so as to
wind the clock five or ten minutes before
synchronization, and thus prevent any con -
fifth between the two forces. In synchroni-
zation, or regulating, the arrangement 18such that the hands never go back, but
always forward. The synchronizer is
worked by gear motion, and is steady and
correct. The winding and regulating are
done by one magnet, and the mechanical
contrivances required to keep the whole
moving are of a very ingenious character.
The way in which one part gets out of the
way of another in order to not interfere
with its functions gives it the appearance of
possessing reasoning power. A horseshoe
magnet and one malt are all thatare required

The Life or a ship.
How long is the natural life of a ship?
From a table cited. by Mr. Robert Thomp-
son, the new President of the Northeast
Coast Engineers and Shipbuilders, it ap-
pears that this is to some extent a question
of where the ship is built. Vessels con-
structed in the United States last on an
average eighteen years only. French ships
average twenty, Dutch twenty-two, Ger-
man twenty-five, British teventy-six, Italian
tveenty-seven, and Norwegian thirty. The
average death -rate of the world's shipping
is about per cent, and tbe birth-rate 5
per cent. A preference at the preeent time
is shown for certain parts of a vessel being
of steel instead of iron, such as tank tops
and decks exposed to the weather, but in
Mr. Thompson's opinion it would be much
better to keep the material the same
throughout as far as possible, and he would
prefer the steel being of the same thiclenees
as the iron.

BERNIE DEERE'S NEW PROMS.
Fair Canadians will enjoy studying Mrs.
Bernard Beere's gowne. A delicious one is
in gray crepe•de-chine, edged with silver,
and worn over a skirt of dark gray velvet.
The bodice, beautifully draped in folds
acroae the front, is held in at the waist
with d• belt of velvet, edged with silver and
fastened by two diamond buckles.
A tea gown, by Worth., of Paris, is in
pale blue crepe, gathered into a yoke of pale
heliotrope velvet, embroidered with im-
mense turquoises and gold thread. Both
colors being very pale, theharmony between
them is beautiful. There are long, hanging
sleeves th this dress, made of heliotrope
tulle, which have a very graceful effect
A charming evening dress is in black

vet, embroidered with green. Touches of
green here and there Lead the pink, this
latter tint being repeated where the skirt
ia slit up at one side to show longaccordeme
pleated folds of rose -pink crepe -de -chine.
A delightful tea gown, _which has the
merit.of being entirely different from the
el -slivery run of such garments, is of eau -de -
Nil Indian silk, made quite simply and
severely, with. a plain aktrt gathered on DO
a Directoire bodice which is adorned with
large lapels, four farge buttons, and opens
in. a V ab the neck. Green. and yellow
velvet are the favorite shades for tbe sleeves
of white satin gowns. A most charming
dress is of cream satin with ahort sleeves of
turquoise velvet and beautiful pearl trim-
ming.
AN EMPIRE DRESS NOR VIM LADY 3IAVORESS.
A beautiful dinner gown in strict Empire
style, made for the Lady Mayoress of
Loudon, is of apricot velvet shot with
russet. The effect of the combined coloring
is quite perfect for tbe autumn. The gown
fastens up the back, and is cub all in one,
with sleeves in puffs just ewer the shoulders
and the berth° cut low all round. The
bodice is slightly draped in front and there
is a wide sash drawn through an antique
milveregilt buckle and fastens at one side.
It is in sofb silk of similar color to the dress.
The 'skirt is plain, save for a deep band of
Italian point round the hem. It is (mite
long, and is cut to a point at the back
There is a fall of Italian poiat round the
bodice, full at the shoulders, so as to fall
prettily over the puffs.

Emerald green and very delicate blue is a
very successful combination in an evening
dram, and a very handsome gown of forget-

fashionable, but have rather the effect of
making one's eyes ache.
BONNETS, BUCKLES AND KNIOK•RNACIIS.
In bonnet -trimming the proper thing ia
to have wings of white point lace °mimed
witla jet beads. Though one may regard
them as a rather senseless kind of ornaments
it is impossible to deny that they are pretty.
The design of the lace is well displeyed by
this mode of mounting it, and its tender
color looks its best contrasted with the
sombre brightnesa of the jet.
One bonnet seen in Bond street on a very
pretty woman was nothing more than a big
buckle and a pair of strings. The buckle
was a nondeaoript affair in gilt, jet and
imitation diamonds. A few years ago such
a mixture would have been thought in the
very worst taste, but now it is considered
orthodox enough.
Buckles are smite a feature in this
drese arrangements. No shoes are
up to date without them. They are worn
on gowns arranged in various ways, and as

loveliest old silver. Another is made
of antique silver coins, each dated, and all
close upon two hundred years old. A third
has hunting scenes on large square pieces
of silver, fattened together and all doted.
These are possessions to glory in, for they
are by no moans every- e 7 ornaments.
It is the correct teees to have shoe -
buckles, hat buckles and eress buckles all
of the same.period, and all bearing the same
mark. Hawk -knacks of old silver are also
greatly prized new, and. a knowledge of the
technicalities of the antique silversmith's
art is considered excellent " form " at the
present moment.
The three-quarter cloak has lost none of
its popularity, though it has had a long
run. It is certainly quite as becoming and
very much more practical than the double -
fronted Russian cloak which ib suoceeded.
The newest example of this garment has
a ithort triple cape, and is made of diagonals
striped homespun in nice warm shades
of brown. , Some very nice wraps of a
similar shape have tartan linings and hoods
to match.
If really desirous of being in the latest
fashion all one has to do is to add three or
our inches to the 'width of the shoulders.
This may be done by wearing a short cape
flounee or large epaulettes, arranged with
much fullness on top of the sleeves. The
these must be broadened, enormous lapels
put on all gowns and outdoor garments.
Sleeves should be somewhat larger than the
waist—that is, if the corset be a twenty -
inch one. The bodices of evening gowns
will, of course'be made short and cut low
in order to show the shoulders. The sleeves
will be fairly short and of the balloon pat-
tern.

To the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville Canada.
Gessiemetinse—It may surprise you to re-
ceive this letter from across ther Ocean,
but I would not be doing my duty did r
not write to thank you for the noble medi-
cine celled Dr. Willierns' Pink Pills for Pale
People, and to let you know what they had
done for me after four years' suffering, and
when all other medical aid had failed. My
trouble occurred while in Canada, and 1
was treated by several doctors and, in the
Montreal General Hospital by Drs. Smith,
Moire= and Maodonell. I first felt the
effects of the disease which the
doctors pronounced diabetes, la Janu-
ary, • 1886. I used many reme-
dies and tried numerous doctors, with,
the only result that I grew poorer in botlx
health and pocket. • At last in despair I -
went to the General Hospital for treatment,
but the reeult was no better, and on the
aobh of April, 1891, I left that institution a
poor, broken-hearted, down-oaet man, Dr.
Maminnuell having informed me that they
had done all they could for me. I continued
to live on in misery until about the middle
of August, when I eaw in the Montreal Star
an article telling the story of a man who,
after spending hundreds of dollars, had tried.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and found a cure.
Drowning men, they say, will catch at a
straw, and it would be impossible for me to
express the gratitude Ifeel for the hope that
Man% story gave me. I at once bought a
box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from Mr.
R. Birks, druggist, on McGill street.
Before I had finished it I felt thatPink Pills
were helping me and I procured. four more
boxes. These aimostrestored me to health,
and through the kindness of Mr. O'Brien,
of the harbor works, I was given a light job
on the harbor wharf, and was again able to
earn my living. I made up my mind, how-
ever, to return to the land of my birth,
and on the 5th of November smiled tor
England. The passage was rough and I
caught cold, which set me back somewhat,
but I am again regaining strength. I find
that I cannot get the Pink Pills here and I
want you to send me a supply, as under no
circumstauces would I be without them,
and you may be sure I will gladly recom-
mend them to my friends both here and
elsewhere.
Yours gratefully,
JAMES INGRAM.
