The distance varying, then, according to these conditions, at some point beneath the surface the weight of water will force the cork into the bottle. As the bottle again approached the surface, the air that remains within is subjected to less and less pressure till finally, now having given itself a pressure greater the than that of water, it drives cork back into position.

This really extraordinary phenomenon is explained by the New York " Tribune," in the following way :-The pressure c,f water increases as the distance from the surface downward. Thus et the distance of a foot beneath the surface the pressure of the water a square inch will be about half a pound ; at a distance of say the eoo feet, it will be 72;11), to the At ocean level s'ivare inch. pressure of the atmosphere is a little Thus if a bottle conover tette

Shirked Duty
ease Only those really know the of living who never try to dodge the hard things in life. For the easiest time to do a hard thing is when it first makes its appearance. If we would double its difficulty, we need only postpone it once ; if we would '
make it four times as hard, a second postponement will insure this. And if we would have the drag and the nightmare of shirked duty always with us, so that life itself becomes a chronic burden, we must simply make our postponement of our hardest duties permanent. Tribulation lies ahead for anyone who will not grapple Joy and his hard tasks promptly. strength and the exhilaration of everincreasing power are assured to one who seeks the ease of instant duty doing.

The Mending Basket (Continued from Last Week.) With pillow cases not much can be done after they once begin to wear out. Thin places may be darned for a time and look the letter for it ; but patches on the smooth aired,* of a pillow case are too conspiedous to be artistic, and hardly increase the durability ; for when a pillow case begins to wear into holes it is generally thin all over. When they are in need of mending it is usually economy of time tio tear them open at one side and at the ends, en 'l rut them away for future use in lithe old muslin or old linen hag.
Sheets can he made to last, by careful attention, almost twice as long as they otherwise would. As soon as they begin to eat thin in the centre, and before they are actually commencing to split there, they should be torn in two lengthwise, and the outer edges sewed together, thus bringing the unworn portion of the sheet to the center, where the hardest wear is. This seam in the middle need not he in the least unsightly. As it will be of the selvedge edges, they can either lie neatly overcast by hand, nr sewed by machine in a flat seam-that is, by lapping one edge over the other and stitching down as close to each edge as possible. The outer edges of a sheet thus made over should, of course, have a narrow hem. Sheets may also be patched to advantage; but in doing so old muslin or linen, rather than new, should be used.
Blankets should he darned with when the edges are worn they should be rebound with ribbon. When it is necessary to mast one, the neatest way of doing so is te bast* the patch on and herring-bone the edges down on both sides with silk floss. Towels should not be overlooked in this general putting in order of house hold articles. It will well repay one to darn good towels, and even to Patch there, if one has others of the same material with which to make neat patches. Kitchen towels when worn very thin may be stitched together as suggested in the case of made -over tablecloths, or may be doubled and made into useful dishcloths, which it is always desirable to have soft. If a housekeeper really desires to get everything that can he put to any use:mended and in order, she will fine many other bits of mending and darning which need doing, besides and if her those suggested here spare time during these winter months is employed in this way, she can but feel great satisfaction in the thought that, without neglecting any thing else, she will be ready to turn her attention to the early spring dressmaking and the other duties which the later spring brings in such abundance. fine yarn, and
