"Ainlut is curious stuff," said a col lector of curios to a Washington Star reporter the oihor day. "It is op.Iy cam parative'.T r.-ceiu'iy that its nature has bpen known. r.:vl ettn at this day very few poodle seem t- have any notion as to what it is in re-J.ity. Tho. ancients rajanled it a-- ;iU..,ri't'.ir mysterious and von ma rical. 'P.icy four. 1 that it was rendered electrical ly friction so as to attract liirlit .substances, and our word 'elcc-tri -itv' comes from the Creek name for amber, which was vlr.Mron.' A fa vorite puido with thorn was how the insects fc' frequently found in amber came to Vo- so si ten tod. Not as a mod ern poet has phrased iv. thiii th" th!n;r w i-1".icr rich ot rare, lint hour the devil u..l it pet tli -rt-V "I have myself en a chunk of very transparent amlier in which a small liz ard wirli five -i was encased, looking as if it tnijrht hate been alive- yesterday, though, doubtless, it had been dead for thousands of years. The mystery re garding this orr of phenomenon is easi ly enough explained when it is under stood that amin r is actually the fossil gum of an cvnnct kind of cone-bearing tree. In the process of hardening it im prisoned the Hies and other creatures preserved ir the chunks of it that aro found to-day. It is discovered plenti fully by dicing in certain paits of the great plains of North (lermany, where the strano tree once flourished. It is also found in considerable quantities along1 the shores of the IJaltie, in the yellow sandstone. At Palmiekcn, in East Prussia, it is dur in regular mines; elsewhere it is picked from clilTs. and a good deal of it is gathered in the shape of nodules cast up by the wave. The finest specimen of amber in Europe is a cup made, of that material, now at the IJrihton Museum, England. It was found at Hove some years ap-o. together with weapons and utensils of stono and bronze, so it is evidently very ancient indeed. In the fourteenth century, and before amber was mado into knives and forks with one pronjr. which wero used by princes and church dignitaries, it was more valuable than gold then. Now it is worth from c'-i to SoO a pound, ac cording to its quality. Tho most im portant use made of it is for meerschaum and other pipes. Meerschaum, by tho way, is a material duy out of the earth in Turkey; it conies in boxes holding fifty pounds, and valued at from S20 to ?3C0. Tho dust and chips obtained from it in the process of manufacture are worked into pipes, this mate rial being called imitation meerschaum." Amber dust i.i melted, and the product is what is sold as 'amberine.' "' 'What a very beautiful sphere of crystal this i.-.!'' said tho newspaperman, taking in his hand a cool globe that looked like a huge dewdrop, which the collector handed him for examination. "Yes, that is a pretty specimen. I suppose you are aware of the theory en tertained by the ancients regarding such rock crystal. They thought it was actually ice frozen to great density by duration of time, congealed beyond liquidation. 'Krystallos' in tireek means 'ice.' Th!? famous writer on nat ural philosophy. Pliny, who wrote more facts that were not true than ever any man cuHe.-ted together before or since, says the crystal i unloubtedly water frozen by cold so intense that nothing ca:i melt it acrain. lbifnan ladies of that limn were accustomed to carry huch spheres as this one in their hands during hot weather for coolness. It was the thing also to have the material worked into wine jugs and ot her vessels. Nero had two drinking cups of crystal worth :5,uth each, and a crystal ladle also; but wiii it he learned l'.;:.t ho had lost his kingdom he broke them, lest they fall into the hands of any one else. A crystal lens was employed in Rome to kindle the sa'-red vestal lire. Groat care was taken not to put the crystal ware in a warm place fur fear that it would nit I:. Tlii-' r.o-!t remarkable dis covery cf crystal on record was made in above the Tiefoti glacj. r by a party of tourists, a single cave in the granite yieldiug l.Oi.'O crystals of from 50 to 100 pounds weight." 'And what is this?" 'That," replied tho collector, "Is a fiim:nuli e C hinese god, covered with a coat of pearl by a real pearl oyster. On Mich parts of the coast of the Flowery Kingdom as produce pearl oysters a regular business is often made of manu facturing pearls ar'.iiirially by intro ducing iniothe shells of th" live oysters foreign objects of various kinds. You doubtless know that tho pearl is a mor bid symptom in the bivuho. A grain of sand or some such substance getting into the oyster produces irritation and the animal protects itself by covering tho objectionable particle with coating after coating of its own pearly secre tion. The interruption of light by the successive coats of which the pearl is formed in this way gives it its beautiful luster. Taking advantage of this habit of the pearl oyster the ingenious China man pries it gently open and puts in whatever ho likes, may be a little figure of a god like this. The oyster goes to work and covers it with pearl, until after a few months tho idol is a pearl idol." FREAK OF A HAND. Illown Through a WuioUo-Stack utnl Caught on a Ko.l. Friday, June 23, Frederick Miller and Tavid Heller, two employed at the fur nace at the rolling-mills, were killed by a premature explosion of Hercules pow der while b'auiug out salamander from the bottom of the furnace, says the Ura zil Times. Miller was standing directly over the drilled hole at the time of the explosion and was terribly torn and dis figured. I!oth arms were blown off, but one v.as found. Ever;.- effort to find tho other arm proved fruitless until a month lat t. Tho workmen saw an object cl::!ing to one of the stay-rods that help to support and keep in position the stcks on the top of the furnace. Through curiosity they climbed to the top and they saw a sight that not only till.'d tliem with horror but with wonder. There in full sight of all was a man's Land, wiili only the stub of an arm at tached, tightly clasping the rod above mentioned. There can be no doubt but that the hand is that of tho unfortunate Miller. Tho only theory known for tho string.; freak of tho bodyless hand is that tho hand was biown out the top of the high stack, and in coming down the muscles, still active, contracted when the hand truck the rod and fastened to it with a deadly grip. From tho posi tion in which Miller was standing the hand could not have reached tho posi tion it occupied other than in tho above manner. The muscles could not have relaxed much after first contracting' else the hand would have fallen. Theory ua.l Practice. There is a good deal of difference Le--tween theory and practice, Lut no man can bo a success without a sprinkling of both. Theory is the scaffold on w: ?eh the laborers stand. It is the lino which makes out tho work; but without practice the edifice would not bo reared, tho work would not bo done. Tueory i j tho guido-board that tells the tiaveler where to go, but practice is tho fellow thnt geu there. Koth aro neces sary; bo:h aro good in their way; Lut too much of ono spoils tho other. Theory is a good thing to keep on band for use in caso of emergency, but it takes money to pay taxes. Without theory, though, you wouldn't havo any Jhini? to pay taxes on. P.am's Horn.

The lay-brotber appeared at day break, and told me that in fifteen min utes I was to join the Italians in retr at, and go with them to mass, writes Dr. Francis Turk man.; in Harper's Magazine. The mass was followed by another ser mon, after which we wero all summoned to coffee in tho room where wo had taken tea the evening1 before. The re port of my heresy had got abroad, and I found myself an object of curious atten tion. After coffee we were dismissed to oi:r chambers for an hour, nd then listened to another sermon in tne chapel. This consumed the morning till eleven oclock, when a bell ran,? for dinner, and nionlis and laymen together ni ivi d in solemn rr.x'e-ion to tbe refectory. The monks went first, the Superior at their head, then followed the laymen, and while the procession was forming in tho corridor tbey all kept up tho dis mal, uninternsitted chanting. The re fectory was a Ion?, high, dimly lighted hall. A tablo of bare wood was stretched across the farther end lor the dignitaries of tho convent, and was continued down both aides IIer, on right and left, sat the rest of the monks, forty or fifty in number, and tho laymen sat below them, nearer the door. The seats wero wooden lynches, placed on the inner side of the tables only. On tho wall over the heads of the dignita ries was a fresco of tho Last Supper, as usual in refectories, while on the sido walls hunj grim pictures of saints with upturned eyes and palms pressed to gether. High up, near tho ceiling, was a small pulpit. Tho enure hall was whitewashed above and panelled with oak below. At the head ot tho tables stood tho Superior, who was General of tho whole order, a tall, portly man with a stern and austere countenance. The monks, motionless and in dead silence, stood ranged on right and left, robed in black from head to foot, and wearing on the breast the badge of their order a heart surmounted by a cross. Their harsh, cadaverous faces bespoko tho rigor of their discipline, w hich is extremely se vere. When all wero in their places tho Superior raised bis finger, and the whole assemblage broke out into an other chant. IV hen at last it was ended the linger was raised again, and all took their seats. Not a word was spoken; hut a monk entered tho pulpit from a narrow door in tho wall, and in diall ing, monotonous tones read a Latin ser mon, which lasted throughout the meal Ho had harJly begun when a fiio of lay-brothers entered, each carrying a receptacle formed of three trays, ono above tho other, connected by an up right wooden rod. and holding a great number of bowls and small dishes. Tho monks wero served first. Uefore them were set bo Is of a dismal-looking veg etable soup, along with dishes of dried peaso boiled whole, and swelled to a wonderful sUo by tho process. L'ach then drew a cup, a fork and a wooden spitoii from a drawer in the table, and with a rueful cotintenanco proceeded to eat. first filling tho cup from an earthen bottle ol cheap wino which btood on the board before him. Wo of tho laity fared better, being served with ric. eggs, fish and diied fruit. Tho Italians seemed little odi iied by the Latin sermon, whit h few of them could havo understood The meal was followed by a prayer, wilh low re sponses from the monks, alter which they all filed oil thiough the dim gal lories to their dens, looking 1 1 1 living oiiginalsof tho dreary poi trails ranged along tho walls. When 1 had got to my thamljor and was refreshing myself with tho l'lo neers. one of them came in to convert mo. ".My falher."' said J. "1 am atraid your kindness will be thiown away." Jut ho clapped mo on the Knee, and exclaimed cheerfully: "Ah, liglio. you will lie a good Catholic soon. No doubt of it " There was an amusing vivacity In him. 'iuite dillerent from Lis extreme solemnity when at dinner. In tho touiseof his talk, which was rambling, though pious, he kept offering mo his snulT box. freely using it himself mean while; and when ho thought he had maJo a good hit in his argument, he would wink at me with a comical look of triumph, on which we both fell to laughing. At length the boll rang for moro prayers and sermons in the chapel, and this spnghlly old aposllo went back to his cell After .the sermon tho laymen were turned out to walk tor a vvlnlo in tho convent garden, attended by l'adro Luca Ho was not, 1 think, one of tho Tassionist brotherhood, but a 6ccular priest. and his pleasant, plump, good humored countenance contrasted strangely with tho diy, leathery visages of the monks. As wo walked up and down the paths, shaded with olives and oleanders, ho look mo by tho arm and talked of mallcrsof faith, stopping from time to time at tho little giouj.3 of Ital ians. who, alter reverently kissing his hand, began to chat and laugh wilh him in an easy familiarity, gracefully tem pered with respect. He se emed to have thtir full affection and tonfldenco, at which, judging by what 1 saw of l.im. I did not w ondcr. UNINVITED VISITORS. It Is to Its Hoped That Alt of Them VU ltsad Till Article. It seems as if measures ought to be taken to put an end to promiscuous vis iting; in regard to which there is evi dently no difference of opinion, writes a correspondent of the Country Gentle man. In these days of incompetent seryants and anxious housekeepers, even the dearest friends can not feel quite sure of a cordial welcome. Hut when a hordo of uninvited guests pre cipitate themselves with colossal ef frontery upon a quiet, and perhaps frugal family, it becomes a most exas perating and intolerable nuisance. It 13 worse, if possible, than taking board ers, because visitors expect to bo enter tained and liberally entertained in many cases. One of tho most hospitable of hos pitable Westerners 6aid that he gave up his home and endured a boarding-house, because ho was "tired of keeping a hotel." Another gentleman declared that he would put a small-pox notice on his house if it would keep away undesired visitors. And ono lady wrote to some friends urging them pathetically to visit her, because now she would like to have some one in her house "whose society she could enjoy." A Western man, traveling with his wife and niece, thought it would be very fine to visit tho Governor of a certain Eastern State. He never had seen any member of tho family, but a nieco of his had married ono of his sons. He drove up to tho house, and had his trunks deposited be foro the door. Tho Governor's wife, however, was a woman of dignity and determination, and the Western travel ers did not see the inside of that stately mansion. They departed with trunks unpacked, and also with a good deal of wondering astonishment. Of course, this cruelly destroys tho beautiful halo surrounding the hospita ble homo with open doors ever ready for the entranco of "angxls unawares." Hut when good Robert Collyer naive ly declares that ho does not wish to "monopolizo thoso angels," sinners surely may bo pardoned if they, too, rebel. Supposing each person should put this notice on his house "No uninvited vis itors received" would even that bo oileciual? ....

It is a ral trial to sit down to the piano and spread a stained, roujrh hand on the ivory keys; or to tik one's pen in an unnihtly hand to answer a letter; or to pick up a Lit of embroidery, if it is only that on perforated hose, and use the neo-ile when every thing that touches the hands sticks to them because of their roughness. Sewing1 on woolen or silk is at such times a sever penance. There are methods of preserving the hands measurably against the de structive effect of dish-w ahinpr, scrul binjr and the like. They should be kept as much out of the water as possible, and when the work is done they should be washed clean and rubbed dry. liorax water is pood for washing the hands. Coarsely pround oat-meal is a fair substitute for wap in washing the hands. White unscented &oaps are the best, as the highly scented soaps aro usually made of rancid fats. A solution of oxalic acid will remove fruit stains from the hands, but it must not touch an abraded surface. After washing and drying the hands thoroughly, plyc erine and s-pirits of camphor in equal parts mixed toother is pood to rub over them. Ox-s.rmtit oil is a pleasant r.plicntion.

To take the best care of tho rai!, soak the ends of the flnpr rs in hot water for some time, until the skin is softened, then dry, and with a pair of nail scissors thin off all the dead skin about tho nails and trim the nails neatly. WOMAN'S HAPPIEST HOUR. Lot lias More to l with It Titan Any TUiiii; Kl9. I have had it suggested to me by a friend stayinp in the house at this time, writes "The Duchess" in the Ladies' Homo Journal, that the happiest mo ment in a woman's life is when, having brought the man of her heart to the point of proposing, she makes him wait a minute, or two for her answer. To know and feel his anxiety to under stand that the anxiety is all caused through love of her this would consti tute a bliss not to be rivaled, a bliss the sweeter for being so short-lived, and be cause of the fact that it can never occur again. Hut this strikes me as being a little felino in its nature, just a triflo cruel. For myself, I should think there would be keener joy in that moment when a woman is able to say Yes' to tho most important question of her life, and to give herself freely and gladly to the one she lovc-s. I think, however, the question a diffi cult one to answer. There arc so many different natures, that what would be extreme happiness to one woman might be only mi'.d deligtit to another. Some women, for example, have the maternal instinct moro stronply devel oped than others, and for them the vocal cry of tneir first-born must cause an uj lif ting of tho heart that no other feeling on earth could outdo. All in that su preme moment is forgotten! The ambitious woman must find her best hour when she has attained th' summit of her hopes, and victory crowns her with its laurel wreath. To the woman standing over the sick bed that contains the ono being dearest to her on earth, t an there lie an hour more rife with thankful happiness than when the doctor declares that there, if hope? ), maic word". Hope that lh adored one will be given back to her from tho very jaws of death! And yet, after all, I think Love, "that great master" as be has leen justly called, nas moro to do with a woman's sweetest hour than any thing clso cn earth. To love, and to feel one's self beloved that is, indeed, to know the best of life. SYNONYMS FOR MOTHER. Children of Culture Taught Love-Maklng I at tea J of Veneration. Mother, that dear, sweet, matchless name, synonym for the tenderest, truest love man ever knew, has been elim inate from the fashionable vocabulary, says the St. Louis Post-Dispafh. In the revised edition of the gilt-edged lex icon it is bracketed obsolete. Only a few years ago war was made on the common pronunciation of the word mamma, and in spite of usage tho. French method was carried, that is. with the accent on tho last syllable. Nor, mother, mam-ma, and old-fashioned "ma" have been set aside as common place and various terms of endearment substituted. Ono of tho wealthiest ladies in New York has taught her two little sons to call her "precious." "Ioar one" is tho favorite address in the home of a rich and distinguished politician, and the scions of tho largest estate in the country call the young mother "love of mine" and tho proud father "i'rinco Charuiing." l!ut the most common term of endearment among the children of tho upper class is "sweetheart." Com ing from the little folks, scarcely ablr? to utter the sounds of the letters, it is very pretty, p4-wially at table or in the nursery, hen the small child has a griev ance or a heartache. It is not, however, a convenient or callable name at the foot of the stairs, when the immediate; pres ence or audieneo of a gentlewoman is needed. Since the abrogation of "d'-ar-est," which had as long a run as the Fauntleroy sash and collar, "dearie" has enjoyed considerable' popularity, but of late intrenchinents have iK--n made up on the lovers', territory and c'l their tender appellations appropriated. "Sweet one." "my own," "lovely," "heart's-ease," "dear heart," "queen," "darling" and "sweetness" are some of the pet names to which loving fcnd lova ble mothers respond. And afu-r all there is something very tender and very sweet in this love-making of parents and children, albeit the dignity implied by plain "mother" may appear tj bo lacking. It is just possible that thero is too much severity in our relations with the liulo ones, and that a better, truer, firmer friendship may accrue from this child worship. One thing is cer tain, that there can lie no estrangement between the real lovers of home. It is the sweet privilege of every mother to bo the idol of her daughters and the sweetheart of her sons, and she has only herself to blame if the child lover tires of her and in the noonday of life iorgets the plory that brightened his morning. "Mother" may do for tho daughter and son that the marriage ties will bring to the roof tree, but if a sweeter, dearer name can le invented, by all means let us have it to use, to hear and to love.
