Tho " Oordlntnlat Ttmti " has a good
story about a fatuous Italian brigand
ohiel. Ho was, na is usually tho case,
fond of gay oostutuos, ooulil slug good
Bongs and relish good jokw, principally
otioh as oxo of n praotioul kitul. A colo
brntod, Italian physician, who, not satis
lied with tho lcgillmnto (jnmo of bin pro
fession, was n keon Bportsman and nu
unerring shot, mot nt nu nlborgo near
Milan a man not Tory dissimilar from the
slguor with whom tho Toriuoso counts
bocamo so Innuspiclously acquainted. A
conversation sprang up, in whioh bandits
oud their proceedings woro disoussod,
and tho dootor, nlluding with Bomo nat
ural prido to tho precision of his aim,
raid that ho much desired that ono of
them would cross his path. Armod with
liis trusty gun and pistol, ho walked nt
largo, and should lika to boo tho man
who would daro to Tiiolnst him. Kvoning
drow on, and his now acquaintance tho
noted brigand ohiof got started from
tho inn first by half au hour. Proceed
ing, iu tho direction tho dootor was to
take, ho broko off a branch from u chest
nut tree, and fixing it in tho middle of,
tho road, Buspouded from its top a small
lantern ho carried with him. Presently
tho dootor was heard approaching with
his firm military step. On coming to a

uiru iu vuu loau no Hiiuuoniy perceivou
tho light, and, halting, called out to
know "who comes thcro?'' A broezo
agitated tho chestnut branch, nud tho
lantern moved.
"If you ndvanoo onother stop you nve
dead man," cried tho dootor.
Tho wind, however, took no uotioo of
tho threat, and tho lantern continued to
Bwing.
"If you don't answer I shall fire Is
shouted tho doctor; and, suiting tho
action to tho word, ho raisod his gun,
took aim, nud
"Bastal" said n voico to his oar, nud
ho found himself pinioned by an iorn1
grasp from behind. "You must not
waste your powder," said tho brigand, I
"because I want it, and I also require
your trusty gun and pistols. And now,"!
ho continued, rolioviug him of tho arti
cles in question, "you nood not bo al
armed, for I do not intcii 1 to shoot you,
bnt I shall tako away your arms and
ammunition, as you do not seem to mo to

CUTTING GLASS WITH SCISSOI!..
Many persons may not bo nwaro that
glass can bo out under water, with groatost
eoso, to almost any shape, by simply
using a pair of shears or strong scissors.
In order to insuro success two points
must bo nttonded to first and most im
portant, tho gloss must bo kopt quite
level in tho water whilo tho scissors
aro applied ; nnd, secondly, to avoid
risk, it is bettor to begin the cutting by
taking off small pieces at tho corners oud
along the edges, and to reduco tho shape
gradually to that required, for if any at
tempt is made to cut tho glass to the
shape, as wo would cut a pieco of card
board, it will bo most likely to break jusi
whero' it is not wanted. Somo kinds oi
glass cut much bettor than others; the
Bolter glass is tho best for this purpose.
Tho scissors need not depond on the
Btato of the edge presented to the glass.
When tho operation goes on well the
glass breaks nway from tho scissors in
small pieoe3 in a straight lino with tho
blades. This method of cutting glass
has often been of service when n dia
mond has not been at hand, for cutting
ovals and segments, nud though tho
edges aro not so smooth as might bo
desired for some purposes, it will
answer in many cases. Tho two hints
given above, if strictly followed, will id
ways insuro success.
NliVHK dozi:.
The London "Lanctl" discusses tho
subject of rising at the end of sleep.
Dozing, it declares, is not admissiblo
from any health point of view. Tho
brain is tho flrat asleep, and is followed
by tho nctiva organs, nnd it is only per
feotand natural when shared by nil tho
several parts of the organism. All tha
parts of tho system nro not equally ex
hausted, and these least fatigued
soonest wake, whilo thosu most ex
hausted nro aroused with the greatest
difficulty. Tho several parts of tho
organism should need rest nt tho sarno
time. To bring this about n person
should "wake early and feel ready to
rise ; this fair and equal start of tha
sleepors should bo secured, nud a wisu
Bolf-raannger should not nllow n drowsy
feeling of tho consciousness, or weary
senses, or an exhausted system to bo
guilo him into tho folly of going to
sleep again when ouco his conscionsuoss
lini been aroused." Tho writor doolaros
that a man who will not allow himself to
doze, will, in a fow days, find himself
almost unconsciously an "early riser."
RAGS IN RUSSIA.
The rags which tho Russian peasants
wear Jhavo struck all travellers who hnvo
visited Russia. Sufficient to say that
boots aro considered as objects of luxury,
and until now, in littlo Russia, tho girl
buys ono pair of boots, and must wear
them throughout her life. On Sunday,
when she goes to church, sho walks
barefootod in tho cold mud of tho road,
nnd only when sho has arrivod nt tho
church alio washes her feet in a poud of
water, puts on her boots, and enters full
dressed.

Tho gorillas aro tho terror of Africa.
In tho gorilla country no liou will live.
They aro niau-batere, and kill them for
the lovo of it, leaving tho body, never oat
Jug them. When they ipy a negro, they
coino down from a tree, hit him on the head
with a club, which they wield with tholr
hind claw, or carry him up into the tree,
there to murder him. Their strength is eo
great that they will bend the barrel of a
rifle. Only ono live ono was over brought
to l!nglund, uud that soon died. Hoveral
hnvo been shot, but they nro tough custom,
ors, and tho natives dread them nioro than
any animal of tho Afrlcau forest. The gor
Ilia makes n bed Uko a hammock, and
swings in tho trees. Tho gorilla is the
sworn enemy of tho elephant, because each
derives its subsistence from the same
source, When ho soes an elephant pulling
and wrenching down tho branches of a
favorite tree, the gorilla bteaU along tho
bough, strikes tha sonsltlvo proboscis of tho
elephant a violent blow with his club, and
drives oil tho clumsy and startled giant,
6hrlily trumpeting his pain nnd raga through
tho jungles of the forott.
ANIMAL 1NT1NOT.
A oouplo of auoadotes of animal in.
stluot told in Mr. Spacdy'a "Sport in tha
Highlands" aro so good that wo are
tcmptod to borrow them. Tho first is of
a dog. "At ono time, when shooting in
Yorkshire, tho gonllomim in tho ad
joining 'box' had a young rctriovor
bitch whioh required to bo tied during
tho drive, Somohow or other sho had
got loose, aud, ooming in tho direction of
our 'box,' picked up ono of our birds
nnd mado off with it. Our rctriovor, do
toimined not to aland such injustice,
gnvo ohaso after hor, growling nud bark
ing nil tho way. Hn caught hor boforo
getting up to her matter, and subjected
her to somowlmt rough treatment an n
pnnishmontfor her thieving pmponsllios.
Ho then picked up the bird, and prompt
ly returned to his own 'lux.'" This dog
clcnrlyfelt that the bird was tho lawful
proy of his master, and, declining to ac
cept tho other retriever' proceeding ns
the result of ignorance, put it down as
dolibcrato petty laroeny. Tho other
story is of n bird of prey, tho smallest of
English birds that comes within that
category, "llomarkablo illustrations of
tho cunning displayed by tho morlin aro
frequently recorded. Wo learn from n
paragraph which appeared in nn Edin
burgh nowspapcr that nn angina-driver
had for sovcral years witiiessod tho
tactics of ono of these birds which fre
quently attended him on his jouruoys.
It usuilly followed the train, homctimos
partly hidden by tho smoke, watching
for tho small birds whioh tho train
frightoned as it passed. Whiio tho birds
were thinking more of tho 'iron horso"
than anything clsoj it mado its swoop
nt them with inorcdiblo speed, nud, if it
missed, returned again to oontinuo its
flight in tho wnko of tho carriages.
Though tho engine might have a start of
one hundrod aud fifty to two hundred
yards, it camo up to in a second or two,
wnlohing tho rising of n bird from ono of
tho liodges bordering tho lino."

It is rolatod that Lord Oolcridgo
sprang into ominouco as a lawyer by ad
roitly seizing a simple incident whilo ho
was ploading tho oouo of a man on trial
for murdor. In the course of his. long
nrgnmont n candle in tho jury box flick
ered nud wont on', leaving tho court
room iu darknoss. Ho stopped speak
i':g, nnd tho silence in court for n mo
ment waa oppressive. Tho scono with
its dark shadows, its grim faces, tho
scarlet robes of tho judge, and tho hag
gard faco of tho mnvderer was worthy of
Rembrandt. Tho usher roplnood tho
light, and Oolcridgo rosumod his ad
dress : " Gentlemen of tho jury, you
have a solomn duty, a very solomu duty,
to discharge. Tho life of tho prisoner at
tho bar is in your bauds. You can tako
it by a word. Yon can extinguish that
life as tho caudlo by your side was ex
tinguished a momont ago. Hut it is not
in your powor. it is not iu tho power of
any of ns or any ono in this court or
out of it to restore tho life when oneo
taken, as that light has been rostorod."
Tho tono in which the words woro
spokou, tho cadence of tha voico and tho
action of tho orator, with the inspiration
of tho sccno nnd the hour, produced a
thrilling effect The jury acquitted tho
prisoner, and Mr. Coleridge's fortune
was mado. Ho was never without a briof
aftor that.
TIIK FII'.ST HANK,
It is ono of tho most remarkable of
phenomena that thu first bonk evor es
tablished won a success uueqnolod in
lator times. Tho Bank of Vonioo had its
origin in 1171, from a forced publio loan,
raised to fit out n fleet, and is tho flrst
nppenranco of a publio funded debt.
Every citizen was obligod to coatributo
tho ouo-hundreth part of his possessions.
Tho persons assessed woro then organ
ized as a Chamber of Lords for their
common protection nud for tho recoipt of
tho yearly interest of four per centum.
Subsequently its creditors were per
mitted to transfer their claims iu whole
or iu part Tho government, finding
that tlieso transfers woro iu domand, re
duced tho rates of interact until no in
terest was paid. Afterward it sold cash
inscriptions of credit on its books.
These inscriptions cost gold, but were
not convertible into gold. As n matter
of fact, although termed n bank, its is
sues wore government paper, nnd its
business was carried on solely for tho
benefit of tho publio treasury. This
bank is still ono of tho foremost financial
institutions in the world. For two hun
dred years the Bank of Vonioo stood
nlune.
NEUOTIAULIi NOTti.
Any person who conies into possession
of a negotiablo security of this olins for
valuo without notice of its loss and in
good faith can oolloct it of tho makor,
whether it was lost or stolon. Publish
ing n notioo will do no good unless tho
buyer sees it, and stopping its payment
nt tho bank will not help tha matter any.
Of oourso if tho loss is widely adver
tised in papers that ciroulato iu busi
ness circles, it makes it mora difficult for
tha holder to ottablish his title, and tho
presumption of good faith in the pur
ohase is not as easily assumed.
POSTAtiV hTA.UI'S.
Making postago stamps is an elaborate
pieco of work. In priutiug, steel plates
nro lipod, on whioh 200 stamps, nro en

covering them with colorod inks nnd
passing them ton man nnd girl who nre
equally busy printiug thorn with large
rolling hand presses. Threo of those
littlo squads nro employed nil tho time.
rtlier ino smill S leets " of ivinnr
upou which the 203 stamps nro en-,
grnvod are dried enough, thoy aro Bent
into another room nnd gummed. The'
gum used for this purpose is a peculiar
composition, made of the powdor of'
dried potatoos and other vegetables '
mired with water. After hnvinc been

which nro fanned by steam powor, for
about an hour, they nro put in botweon
sheets of pasteboard and proisod in
j hydroulio presses eupablo of applying a
weight of 2,000 tons. The uoxt thing is'
to cut tho sheet iu half; each sheet, of'
conrso, when out, oontiins a hundred
Btamps, This Is done by n gill, with a
Inrgo pair of shears, cutting by band bo-

more, nnd then packed nud libelled, and
stowed nway for despatching to fulfil
orders. If n single stamp is torn or iu
nny way mutilated, the whole sheet of
100 stamps is burned. Fivo huudrod

this cause. During tho process of nmiiu

MlltltlV Ctlttlil.1l H.
In every country hi tho civilized world,
except in Scotland, perhaps, tho Will of
Dooembor is n day of rejoicing nnd fes
tivity tho Scoteh uclebrato New Ycnr'rt
Day instead.
Tho first tr.iccM of tin celebration of
Christmas nro found about tho timo of
tho Emperor Oommodus (180 -103 A. I)).
In tho reign of Dlooletian (29 1 -HO'i),
whilo that ruler was keeping court nt
Xicomodin, ho learned that a number of
Christians wove nsiomblod iu tho city to
celebrate tho birthday of tho Founder of
Chritiauity, nnd lnvliig ordered tho
church doors to be eliced, ho Bet tiro to
the buildings, nnd nil the worshippers
perished in the flames.
It does not appear, however, that there
vton nuy uniform''; among tho early
churcho.i in celeliraling tho Nativity ;
some held the festival in tho month of
Apiilor May, otheri in .Innunry. It is
lieverthi'lo.'W curtain tlmt the S.lth of
J)Moember cannot be the nnnivorsnry of
the birth of Christ, for it is then the
height of tho rainy mwi'in in Judo.i, aud
shepherds could hardly bo wntching
their flocks by night in the plains. Tho
custom of ColehrAh'u? the Nativity on
the 25th of Deoemb'T wo derive from tho
heathens, who regarded tho winter sol
stice as a moit important point of tho
year, ns tho beginning of tho renewed
life nud nativity of the powers of nature
and of tho gods who were originally
merely tho symbolled personifications of
these. At the winter solstice the Ger
mans held their giv.it Yule feast in com
memoration of tho return of tho tlery
tun wheel, nnd believed that during tho
twelve nights reach hi'; from thei.'ithUeit.
to tho llth January they could trace tho
personal movements and interferences
on earth of their great deities, Odin,
Bcrehto, && The church sought to
combat and banish this deeply-rooted
heathen feeling, by adding its grandly
devied liturgy, bo-udos dramatic repre
sentations of tho llh'th of Christ and tho
flrst events of his life. Hence sprang
tho so-called Manger-songs nnd n multi
tude of Christmas carols. Heuee also
originated, nt n later period, tho Christ
trees, or Christman-trjes, adorned with
lights and gifts, the customs of recipro
cal presents, nnd of special Christmas
meats and dishat, nwl ivi Christinas
rolls, cakes, dumpliiig.i, Ac Thus
Christmas become n universal socinl
festival for young nud old, high and
low, as no other festival could hnvo
become.
Our Anglo-Saxon imeetora made a
great deal of the d.iy. King Arthur
gave a royal feast on Christmas Day ut
Carlisle, when ho entertained man and
Insist, "according to their rank, iu
proper style. " Tho bill of fare consisted
of salmon, venison, and wild boar, hogs
heads of honey, sheep, fatted beeves, aud
bacon swino ; plum-puddings, pancakes,
upplo-pios, and custard, with which they
drank good Gascon wine, mead, homo
brewed ale and cider.

During tho Tudor period, with tho ex
ception of tho "still Christmas" in 152i5,
whilo King Henry was ill, tho sacred
season appears to have been regularly
celebrated with joyous music, songs, and
feasting. After tho Restoration, Christ
mas again exhibited a hearty, choorful,
and even joyful character.
But sinco tho nceossiou of tho Houso
of Hanover tho festivities which wero
formerly appropriate to tho occasion
have much fallen oft". Dickens, by his
writings, has douo much to rovivo tho
interest formerly taken in them, espe
cially with tho young. But for all,
Christmas festivities, instead of lasting
with more or less brilliancy till Candlo
mns, nud with great spirit till Twelfth
Day, only oxtend now over two days
Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Nor
on tho former day have we such royal
feasts ns tho ono held by King Arthur at
Carlisle. A mooting in tho afternoon or
evening, composed of the various
branches nnd members of the family,
and n substantial dinner, are, generally
fipeakiug, all that distinguish that day
above others.
