Joar-Sightedne**.
The following interesting and instruc
tive article on " Myopia; or Near-Sight
edness," U from the pen of an authority,
a Chicago optician: Tins defect ia com
paratively easy to detect, especially in
the higher grades; yet there arc some
phases of it that require extreme cau
tion and delicate manipulation to arnve
at a complete understanding of their
condition.
Myopia, or near-sightedness is, more
popularly speaking, a disease rather
than a structural defect in the eye. This
disease, however, lias the effect of caus
ing s change in the construction, thus
producing tiie same result; it is gener
ally conceded to be hereditary, accumu
lating in posterity, and when once de
veloped, even in a very slight degree,
its tendency is to increese and assume a
more decided form and higher degree.
It constats in a diminution of the far
poiut of vision, and the consequent ina
bility to perceive aud recognise objects
lying lieyuud this distance, which varies
more or leas with the grade or degree of
the imperfection.
In tin* low or medium grades, which
art* the •moat numerous, objects lying
within this visual distance are seen just
as distinctly nud with less straining or
exercise of the muscle of accommodation
than is experienced by a person having
normal or-perfeot visum.
But the myopic eye ia largely defici
ent in penetration, and requires much
stronger illumination, osjHu'ially at
night, to render objects distinctly visi
ble within the same proportionate dis
tance, as compared with the results ob
tained froin experiments with normal
or perfect vision under the same circum
stances.
To illustrate ; Assume normal vision
in daylight to be represented bv 100,
that of a myope iu the same light and
upon the same basis to be seventy-five,
then try the experiment with weaker
illuminations, say at night, and again let '
the aentenes* or penetration of perfect
vision be represented by 100, the exjvn
ineut will show the sentences of the
myope to Ik> diminished to a range of
front forty-five to fiftv-flve. This want
of acuteness will only prove true, fvr
distance, while for near vision the op
posite is the rule, the nivopic eye beiug
able to see under weak ilinminatiou with
less pr\ jxirtionate wear.nes* than is ex
perience! in perfect vision.
In the mvopic eye, when ocular esti
mation of ihstaaoe is to be mavie, the
tendency is to over rather than l
under estimate it. This has appeared
very prominently in estimating the dis
tance of lights at night. As applied to
railway or vessel management this, when
combined with the want of penetration,
will prove to be the most serious defect
noticed under this phase of imperfect
vision. The different forms and degree*
of the defects classed under this head
the most numerous of all structural or
optical imperfections of the eye, and
thev have an existence in a low or
melmm grade in a very large proportion
of the population without there ever be
ing a suspicion of their presence.
The comparative frequency of near
sightedness has been the subject of dis
cussion a great many times, and it is
found to prevail to a much larger ex
tent in the cities than in the country.
This difference has been ascribed to a
Tariety of causes, among which is the
fact that persons living iu cities have
but little occasion to relax the muscle
of accommodation for infinite distance,
they being habituated to using their
eyes for comparatively short distances;
hence the muscles become accustomed
to these shorter distances, thus losing
much of their natural power of relaxa
tion l>eyond certain points through want
of exercise. This is also increased and
fostered by the studious habits of the
American people generally, and the de
fect is undoubtedly acquired in a great
number of iustances through the pro
longed tension of muscular accommoda
tion in studying, by children at school.
It will be an interesting as well as im
portant fact to notice in this connection
some of the resnlts of the examination
of a large number of school children.
r>rs. Acres and Williams examined the
eyes of 1,264 pupils in different depart
ments of the Cincinnati pnblic schools,
which showed the proportion of near
sightedness in the district schools to be
13.3 per cent,; intermediate schools
13.8 per cent.; and in the high schools,
22.8 per cent. These results corre
spond with those obtained irom examin
ations made in Brooklyn and in the
College of the City of Xew York.
It may not be uninteresting to notice
the fact* that of the large number of
eases of color-blindness which I have
hail the privilege of examining during
the past seven years, a large proportion
were found to have a low grade of near
sightedness combined with some one of
the forms of color-blindness The dan
gerous character of the error depending
upon this defect for development lies
mainly in the general progressive nature
of the disease, which at first may be of
a low grade, but soon increases and
forms a higher grade ; every step in the
progre-sion becoming more and more
marked as an element susceptible of
causing false perceptions and thereby
incorrect judgment. Growing out of
this is the diminished penetration and
over-estimation of distance which
attend the defect in both the high and
low grades.
It might not be out of place in this
connection to say that this defect can be
almost entirely neutralized by spectacles
properly selected and adjusted ; but
the diseased oondition nearly always st
anding it generally demands some med
iCal treatment, especially in the higher
grades, before glasses can be properly
adapted to the eye. Insuperable objec
tions, however, attend the use of specta
cles in railway service in many of its
branches.
Curiauo Discoveries.
The old question, where do all the pins
go to ? is not near so interesting as this
connmdrum: How do things get where
they are found ? The poems of Propertius,
a Latin poet who lived half a century be
fore the Christian Era, were found in a
wine-cellar. The discovery was made
in the nick of time, for the mildew and
the rats had begun their destructive
work on the parchment manuscripts.
Bat how came these poems in that wine
cellar ? Did some bottler, a lover of the
muse, carry theni dowu to read during
intervals of rest, and then, overcome by
the fumes of his own wine, forget to
carry ;hem away ?
It is said that one of the cantos of
Dante's " Inferno" was found, after be
ing long mislaid, hidden away beneath
a window-Bill. Who hid the precious
manuscript ? Did he hope a reward
wonld be offered for its recovery ?
We can understand how "Luther's
Table Talk " came to b£ hidden in the
foundations of an old bonse. Pope Gre
gory XIII ordered its suppression, and
o it became dangerous for anv one to
be found in possession of the book.
When discovered, it was " lying in a
deep obscure hole, wrapped iu strong
linen cloth, which was waxed all over
with beeswax within and without," The
man who hid it was determined that the
I took should be*read by somebody when
better days had come.
.An old cabinet held for time a forgot
ten manuscript which the world Is glad
the author found. It was the first vol
ume of "Waverly." " I had written,"
says Scott, " the greatest pftrt of the
first vol time, and sketched other pas
sages, when I mislaid the manuscript,
and only "found it by the merest accident,
as I the drawer of an
old cabinet, and I took the fancy of finish
ing it." *
The Baobab Tree.
A curfous peculiarity of this tree,
found in Airica and Madagascar, is tbat
scarcely any injury will destroy it. Fire
exterior does not impair
its vitality. Nor can it be injured from
within, as it is qu'te common to find it
hollow. .Even cutting down does not
exterminate it, for it continues to grow
in length "while lying on the ground, and
its roots, which reach forty or fifty yards
from the trunk, retain their vitality.
Although the tree attains aD enormous
age, Livingstone having examined one
which he judged to be 1,400 years old,
it is attacked by a disease which affects
its woody structure, so in course of time
its own weight causes it to fall in a mass
cf rains.
"Old Keshlentcr."
Ton couldn't call him a sportsman by
any strain on your imagination, and
vet he was by no means a loafer, though
lie did talk with a drawl which indicated
that he didn't regard time as a very val
uable commodity. He sat on the fence
as the train came up to Siegfried's
Bridge, with the throe Eastou fancy
gunner* alsmrd, whom he was to pilot
across the country after quail. His gun
having the lock tied on with a string,
repotted across his knee*, ami his dog,
Uvokitig like the ghost of starvation, re
pivsel at his feet, The Hasten meu
came up to him.
•'Doyon know Abe Ilertaog?"
" Y'-n-n s, I know him."
" When* can we find lnm?"
" R-i-g-h-t liyar, I guess."
" Are you Mr. Ilertaog?"
" Y-a-a-s! that's what I'm taxed for
anyway."
" Jimniiny !" said one of the party,
soffo loec, " can this l>e the man that
Cap told lis was personally acquainted
with every quail family iu Allen Town
ship ?"
"Yon fellers want to go *rter some
quails, eh?"
" That's what we come for. Do yon
kutiw anything about lliem ?"
" YY-a-a-1, yaas; 1 can tell one when I
see it."
" What kind of a gun have you got
there!"
•• W-a-a-1, ye see, mister, that gnu's
an old reaideiiter; biu into onr family
ever since the first old Ilertaog move*l
np hvar. l'tiat gun's a rifie, mister, and
she wools mighty quick. Handle her a
little cereful, mister," he continued, as
he hande 1 the old thing over for inspec
tion; " she has a wav of tumbling aj>art
if she's used rough-like."
The old rifie had a Iwirrel about as
large as a fence rail, with iron enough
in it for avon tig Gatliug-guu, and a
bore not larger tliau a healthy rye straw,
while all the stock it had was absorbed
in a brass trap-door leading into a cellar
smelling of verdigris ana tilled with
grease and little pieces of rags.
" How do you kill anything with this;
knock it down?"
•• W-a-a -I, yes ! sometimes. That's
the wav I busted the sUx'k thar a liar the
rawhide bamiage air, a-kinx-km' a fellow
down what made fun of it."
At this jHuut the investigator suddenly
lost interest iu the guu, and the party
moved off into the country. As they
climbed the fifteenth fence, the old man
paused on the top rail and waved his
hand indefinitely over the fields before
them.
" Gents, there's quails all about livar
and over vander—yaas, and tliar's one on
'em now," he added, as he drew up Old
liesideuter aud knocked it over where it
sat.
" What! do you stioot a bird on the
ground? Why, old man, that's infernal
potting."
"S'thatso?" inquired the old man,
hnmbly, as he picked up a piece of his
gun-stock that had been jarred off by
the shot.
Just then a small covey of the birds
took wing, and the man who scorned
pot-huntiug blazed away with both bar
reils of a costly breach-loader and
missed.
" Whar! whar do you shoot 'em,
mister ?" inquired the old man, quietly,
as he put his patch and bullet on the
muzzle of his rifle, which he held be
tween his legs while he rammed the
charge home, and then as a stray bird
fiew overhead, he raised and dropped it
" Is that ar' the way you want it done,
mister ?"
The objector said nothing, and the
gnnniug proceeded; but it soon became
evident that the sjxjrtsmeu were doing
the gunning and the old man was doing
the shooting. The lock tumbled off his
guu occasionally, and the barrel had a
loose habit of parting company with the
stock; bat the old man hat! a pocket
full of strings, and as fast as it gave out
he tied it up, and made ready to shoot
whenever a turd showed, and he occa
sionally varied the monotony of the pro
ceedings by coolly blazing into the
bushes, whereupon his mean-looking
dog would rush in and drag oat a dead
rabbit.
The Easton party hunted faithfully,
according to their lights, and shot upon
the most scientific principles; but, some
how, the old man got the game, as the
count showed five quail and a pheasant
among the three for the day's work,
while Mr. Hertztvg toddled along un
der twenty-two quail and fonr rabbits;
and, as they sat on the l>oard-pile at the
depot bargaining for the old man's lot,
he remarked:
" Ye see, gents, Old Resideuter be'out
much of a gun to look at. She ain't
party nor handsome at all. but I tell
you she's mighty on the shoot. All yon's
got to do is jest to grease the patch right
well, and ram the ball down close, and
then, if you pint her at a bird aud pull,
that bint's got to stop. Leastwise, I
allers tind it so. Ye see, gents, where a
man has such a awfully party gun his
'tention's kinder taken up a Imirin' of it,
like, and the bird goes away after he
shoots. Leastwise I allers find it so."
Jnst then the lcck dropped off "Old
Residenter " for the eleventh time, and,
as the old man wasn't going to shoot any
more that dav, he pnt it iu his pocket
along with his game money, saying:
"Thank ye, gent*, thankee. Come
np soon again, and I'll take Old Resi
denter out any time; we'll be party sure
to get something." And he meanders
off into the Indian summer liaze.—EOA

Homesickness a* a IMsesse.
Tho last published volume of the
"Diet, de Medecine" ha* an interesting
article on nostalgia, by Dr. H. Rey. He
regards it as a form of insanity. It is
not often observed in childhood nor in
advanced age, aud is much lea* frequent
in women than in meu. It is most com
mop in the yonng conscript drawn from
the oonntry, who enters the infantry; the
town lad is too much accustomed to
change and the bustle of life; while the
cavalry soldier is too much occupied to
have time to think over his separation
from the place where his affections are
centered. M. Rey states that the men
of Bretagne are most liable to homesick
ness, as many cases occurring in those
from this district as from the whole of
the rest of France pnt together. The
symptoms of nostalgia are, that the pa
tient becomes sad and taciturn, forbear*
to eat, retires to weep alone, and gives
himself up to long reveries of home.
After a time, if he goes beyond this tlrst
stage, he begins to bear the aspect of
ill health, and suffers from headache
and sleeplessness; and if the disease still
advances, delirium, prostration, diar
rhea, and marasmus come on, terminat
ing in 'death. Sometimes, he says, even
old soldiers do not escape the malady.
It is in hard times that this occurs,
when fighting lias to be done in retreat,
and when otheu troubles are added to
the bitterness of defeat; when he feels
himself forsaken; when he is exposed
to cold, is hungry, has to sleep 011 damp
soil, and is suffering frightful thirst
from his wounds; perhaps is taken pris
oner, or droops under the diseases that
spriDg from misery—scurvy, typhus, or
dysentery; under these circa instances,
thff*fcmembrance of the country he has
left behind him, of the mother, the wife,
or the home, awakens and brings a tear
into the eyes of the bravest.
Saved for Greatness.
Madame de Main tenon, who became
the wife of Lonis XIV. of France, and
for the Lost thirty years of bis life exer
cised a controlling influence over bis
opinions and policy, bad a narrow es
cajie from premature burial in childhood.
Her parents migrated from France to
the Isle of Martinique when she was
ten years old. On the voyage she was
taken ill, and the sickness ended in ap
parent death. The fnneral rites were
over ; the last look taken of the body
about to lie dropped into the sea ; a
cannon was loaded to be fired over the
corpse; when the mother, ordinarily
unloving, insisted on seeing her child
once more. To her surprise, she found
the heart still beating, and in a delirum
of joy, declared that the child was not
dead, lint would recover. The hope,
born of rapture, proved a true prophecy;
and the little girl, so nearly given to
burial in the ocean, was spaml to be
oome one of the most distinguished
women in French history.

The old red barn had sUxxl at the end
of the lane fiir years, even before the
academy had been built at Greenville.
It was in ruins now; its dava of useful
noes had gone; it ws the home of rats,
and sometimes a shelter for stray tramps
who might venture down the fane. It
had once leeu the Saturday play house
of the academy Iniya, as die sidi<s and
iwruers could well testify; and all the
loose boards were well whittled with tlie
jack-knife that most wonderful of all
knives iu the eyes of an American boy.
But the old barn had stood the gtonus
and sunshine of many years, aud was
likely to stand iu ruuis for many years
to come. Here aud there were jiatehee
of different Inuirda from, the original
red, and the one window was boarded
up with an old door that had ouce been
(tainted green.
But the most curious patch on the
barn was directly over the door, where a
Umrd had vanished, and an old black-
Is>ard with white letters taken its place.
The letters were old and faded, aud iic
cnptevl all of the opening. The letters
looked like this:
| ISHPO. |
Sow the curiosity of the IH>V* had
been excited for a loug tune to discover
the meaning of " ishpo," or what other
letter* put at the begiuuiug and endiug
of " ishpo," could make that outlandish
word into anything possible to under
stand.
Manv times the boys at the academy
had pondered over the enigma; even
men, in passing through the lane, would
look with some curiosity ou the black
patch on the old red baru, and as they
hurried along into the city would say to
themselves:
'• I shoo;" and what is tliat, I wonder?
Kverv boy in tlie Greeuville Academy
had thumbed Webster's Dictionary
nearest at hand in search of " Ialipo; '
and left the book no wiser for the search.
Kut the mystery of the old red bam
was to be unraveled at last. As Year
after year went by and the boys liaJ be
come used to the strange word, and
some of them entirely forgotten it, a new
idea occurred to I)ici.
He was enjoying a half holiday and
was lying on the grass under the trees
on a very hot dav, when his eyes hap
pened to rest on the mysterious word.
It seemed to have a new meaning to
the bov, now. Ho hail gazed ou it for
years, but he now wondered why he had
never thought before to tear off the old
patch, and see if there were other letter*
with ishpo. Kut how to accomplish that
task without l>eiug seen by the owner of
the baru, who was a aour-tempenxl old
man, he had yet to discover. Going
back to the school building* he found
his comrades, and confided to them his
plan and asked their aid. All readily
joiued in the undertaking, and they
formed themselves into a society for the
express purpose of discovering the ori
gin aud meaning of the word "ishpo."
They were to wait for a dark night,
and then meet at the old laro. where by
the united strength of the party, they
could tear the old patch from the red
boards and examine the side nailed to
the barn.
That very night was favorable fur the
enterprise, for it was dark. ami fo very
close an J uncomfortable within the
buildings that permission wns given the
boys bv the professor to take a stroll
dowu the lane, before retiring for the
nigbt.
Eagerly they all set out for the old
ruin, but hail scarcely gained the shelter
when the storm that hail beu gathering
for hours, burst in all it* fury of wind
and lightning, and the loose Ixiarda and
trash around the barn were thrown
about in great confusion, and the boy*
esca|)eil to the open lane.
The old red barn was blown down iu
the gale!
The next morning in the l>eantifnl
sunshine the Itoy* hastened to the spot,
and there, still nailed to the barn, was
the old patch with its mysterious letters.
A few minutes anil the old board WHS
torn from the door and eagerly examined
by the boys.
The letter F was found, verv bright
from it* long imprisonment, to head the
word " ishpo," and the two letters nd
ended the mysterious won!.
" Nothing but a fishpond," said the
boys, as they went back to school for
he day.—JVeiv York Tribune.
Mlorv ot HO Apron.
And of all little aprons that hung upon
the line that windy March day, Nainsook
was the very proudest. She flaunted
her ruffles, flung out her long tie*,
dipped, dived and soared higher in the
breeze than anv other. ,
And when bine (iingliam snapped
against her she screamed:
" Keep away, dinghy; you'll leave a
blue mark on me if you don't take
care f"
" Don't be so proud, Nainsook; I'd
rather be myself any day than a poor
armless thing like you. it's Nellie aud
I that love fun. It's Nellie and I that
play in the sand, aud it's Nellie and I
that make real make-believo cookies out
of flour, too. When she has yon on,
yon are 4> stuck up aud afraid your
starch will get out, or ruffles initiated,
that she has to sit in chairs, and hardly
dares to wiggle her toes."
" H'm ! Arms are very unstylish for
aprons, uud I have raffles instead. As
to dirt, my taste don't run to playing in
it, and when I come out of the drawer,
Nellie is going to have company or go
a-visiting."
" For my part," said the cambric with
the pink buds, " I think Nellie ami I
have the beat of times. We are together
afternoons after she has been washed
up. We play with our dolls then, or
build block houses."
Then the plain white linen made
Home sensible remarks, the calicoes
spoke, aud the braided pique, but Nain
sook saiil no more, for she WHS very
busy.
Only think, she had got one clothespin
off her shoulder ! if she could only
wrench free from the other, what a
granil time ! Away from these common
aprons, whose company she bated to be
seen in ! Off with the breeze to find
some little princess who would be glad
to see her!
A jerk and Rho was free! Floating
high for one glad moment, the next cast
down into the muddy lane, trampled
npon by horses, nosed over by pigs,
dirty and miHerable.
At last came a boy along who fished
her out on the end of a stick, and car
ried her home in that way.
"What yer got, Jim?" asked his
mother.
" Er flag of liberty."
" Give her to me; she's an apuru an'
will do fur one of the gurls; piy she
ain't got no sleeves."
So it came that very day, as Nellie
and Blue Giugbam were chasiug down
the lane after a (4rav kitten, they saw a
ragged little girl playing in the mud,
and on her, all dirty and forlorn, poor
Nainsook.
" That's my apron," cried Nellie.
"'Tain't either," said the girl.
" What'll you give for her ?"
" What do you want ?"
"Would rather have that ptirty bine
one; thia suit got no arms."
Nellie thought a moment:
" Oh, no I if 1 give up my blue ging
ham I can't play out of doors, or in the
kitchen, ot have auv more fun. I guess
you may keep Nannie. Mamma hod
company yeMerduv, uud 1 didn't have to

gone."
Nellie ami Itlnc (hnghaui ran on, and
jxxir Nuinsook wished she had not Ixhmi
quite so nice or quite so proud.

('aptnring an Eagle's Nesf.
Recently United Htates Deputy Mar
shal Dewing and a party went tip the
river to investigate the cutting of logs
from the public lands. On Black Lake
they discovered an imracnae oagle's nest
in tho topmost branches ot a largo treo,
and began cutting the tree down. There
was a young eagle in the nest, and when
the cutting commenced the parent birds
made hostile demonstrations, swooping
down upon tho party. The female was
shot and killed. The wing of the male
was broken by a shot, and he was cap
tured after falling in the water. He was
with considerable difficulty taken into
the boat, knocking one of the men in the
Ixiat overboard by a stroke of his wing.
The young bird was killed bv the falling
of the tree. The nest was twelve feet in
diameter, and was constructed of at least
three-quarters of a cord of wood, some
of the pieces being four feet long and as
large around as a man's leg. Tlie old
male bird measures seven feet and two
inches from tip to tip.— Shreveport (La.)

Vnf-Dnj Custom*.
Though May-pole and Morris dancing

tu thi aod, by cutting a trriich around

their grassy table. Ou Una table they
would kindle a fire and cook a cuatard of
eggs and milk, a kur>al ami cake of oat
meal, which was toasted hy tlie fire.
After eating the cuatard, the cake waa
cut into as many parts aa there were
Isiya; oue piece wua made black with
i"ol, and then all But into a cap. Kach

the black one was to lie sacrificed to

there is little doubt that the whole thing
was a survival from tlie dava when hu

In the island of Ijcvrt*, in the west of
Hoot land, there prevails a custom of
semhug a man very early on May-day to
erode a certain river, believing that if a
woman crossed it first the salmon woahl
not come into the stream for a vear.
The Hutch May-pole was still differ
ent, lieing surrounded by treea Htnck
into flower-pota, and ornamented with
guy <v>lorxl flags, and hoojm with gar
lands and gilt halls hanging. Another
sort had winxleii dolls tua*le to represent
the tlgnrixi of peasants, nailed against
tlie |Mile by their hands and knees, as
though climbing it. There were also
figures of birds and people. In some
parts of tlertnany it was the firm belief
of the cvimutuii people that certaiu ill
disixiscd Itemgs met ou a high mountain
on May day hi danco and feast, with no
gis>d intention* to their human neigh
bon. Accordingly ou the day before,
every family was careful to have a thorn
of a certaiu kllul, which Was stuck into
the door as a protection.
The Hcandiuavians, whose first of May
is not very balmy, had of old a curious
fight between summer and wiuter. Win
ter or tlie man representing him— WIM
dressed in skin*, armed with fire-forks,
and threw snow-balls and piece* of ice.
Hammer was dressed in greeu leave* ami
summer dress. They had a muck fight
which wa called " Driving away Winter
and wola>miug Hummer," ami iu the lale
of Man, where Norwegians hod rule for
many years, this custom lingered until
very lately.
Hut a* the years went on these merry
game* died out, ami a few years ag<>
May day wa iu London simply tlie
fentival of chimney-sweeps am! milk
mania, certainly a falling off from the
times of King lleury VIII. The only
traces of goiug-a-Maying were the gar
land* of the milkmaids and the Jack-in
the-green uf the sweep*. The garland
iso called) wo* mnde uf silvcrplate,
lxirrowed for tlie day, ami fastened upon
a sort of pyramid. Accompanying this
droll garland were the maid* themselves
in gay dress, with ribbon* and flowers,
and attended by mumcians who played
for them to dance in the street. Some
times a cow wa* dressed in festive array,
with Ixitiqnet* ami ribbons ou her hums,
neck and tail, and over her back a net
stuck lull of flower*. Thus highly orna
mented tlie mock creature was led
through tlie street*.
The sweejMi brought oat the Jack-in
the-green, which was a tall cms made
of green Ixuigh*. decorate! with flower*,
gay streamers and a flag, and carried by
a man inside. Each of these structures
wa* followed by a band of sweeps who
uoMitncd certaiu characters, the fashion
of which tiad been handed down from
the palmy tune* of May-day.

The "Lie itolla,"
An American photographer at Khan*
hai employed tor aome time a* assistant
a Cantonese named Hiug K**, who con
cluded that he was master of the trick*
of the trade, and accordingly started
business on hia own acconnt. He hail
l>eeu instructed to nee Mexican dollar* in
preparing a nitrate of silver, but, to hie
great aetoniehment, hie attempt* were
unsatisfactory in every inetance. lte
tuming to hie employer, he related hie
expeneuce :

Hia" late employer, feeling snre that
he must have made some blunder, di
rected Sing Kwa to try the experiment
in his preaenop, in order that he might
detect the mistake ; but what was hia
surprise to find the result something
very str nglv resembling nitrate of cop
per, instead of nitrate of silver. Sing
Kwa was told that lie must have been
cheated bv aome one who had given him
bad dollars, which he had need in pre
paring his chemicals. The prompt re
ply was:

A Celestial Fairy Tale
That snake* contain in their heads
corUin precious itoofis is an old Ixdipf
common to moat branches of the luimaii
family. A story in a Chinese book of
anecdote* roUte* how a foreigner pass
ing a pork-batcher'* shop naka the maa
ter what ho will tAko for the bench on
which the pork ia exposed. The nnawer,
Riven in fnn, ia " fifty taela." The for
eigner offer a to pay the money. Thia
convincoa the butcher that there must
bo something valnahlo in the bench, ao
ho declines to acll it, ami carefully pnta
it by. The foreigner IOAVCH the place
and returna after a year'a abaonee. See
ing the butcher, he aaka after the (tench,
and in anawer to a very natural inquiry
why he deema it ao valuable, informa
him that lodged in a cavity within it ia
a anake, holding in it* month a precioua
gem. He further adda that the (make
live* on the blood that aoaka through
the wood from the raw meat expoaed on
it, and that when thia anpply ia cut off
the anftko will die and the gem become
worthleaa. Curaing hi* own stupidity,
the butcher seizes a hatchet and splits
the bench open, finding the Hnake dead,
while the jewel it undoubtedly holds in
its mouth is of the same oolor aa the eye
of a dried fish.
Op|Mi*rd l Swearing
Among the niaiiv anecdote* told of
George W. Illutit, the New York pilot
commissioner, m one in connection with
hm reprovnl of the viae of nwearing in
the office of the pilot Comminnioiier*. At
onetime it wa* common to hear oath
upon oath in t lie outer office, where were
gathered a number of rough pilot* and
seafaring uien. Mr. liliiut, although
not free from the habit, believed tliut it*
ovnr-iudtllgnuoe wne niiytliing but re
a|>e*'table, and thought that he ixiiihl
atoli the ahune and at the name time
make it beneficial. He therefore placed
lit the outer oftlcc, agaiiiHt one of the
witidowa, u tin lxx, ami aa he did ao lie
naid: " Now tin* is for swearers. Every
one who awearn ill thin office muat put tell
cent* tu tlie (MIX, and if 1 am caught
nwearing, I will pay twenty." Thia rule
waa enforced ou all tiocaaioun, and one
day a gentleman of respectability came
into the office, ami alinoat without know
ing it he began to utter oath*. (Viinmia
aioiter til ant stepp it from liih private
Mini, and *aid that he would have to put
ten cent* into the box. "What for?"
aanl tlie gentleman. " For swearing,"
anawered Hluut. " What la done with
the money tlitia collected ?" asked the
gentleman. "It ia dividoii lad ween the
• Pilots' Charitable Fund " ami tlie ' New
York ami Hamly HOok Pilots' Heoevolerit
Association' for the benefit of the
widows ami orphans." The gentleman
reflected a moment, and taking a $5 bill
out of hia pocketlmok, put it iu the box
with a smile, ami aald : " 1 will take that
out in swearing aome other time."
Ou another occasion a prcmmcut yacht
owner enU'red Mr. liluiit'a office, and
while conversing with him let drop an
oath, which was immediately caught by
Mr. Blunt with a demand for ten cents.
An explanation followed, aimiliar to the
one given aliove, when the yacht owner
retired, apparently very indignant at the
rigid rulew thus enforced; but without
payiug the fine. Mr. Blunt was not at
all plowed with what he thought to be
the meanness as well as the viciouaneaa
of the yacht owner; but next morning he
u surprised at receiving a check for
91 ,000 as a " swearer's contribution " to
tlie two funda mentioned, to be equally
divided between them.
During the war of 1812, the water uf
the Kat river came up Buriiug slip some
distance, and (Jeorge W. Blunt, who was
then a Isiy, Would with others go down
to see the vessels in the slip. These
were two armed veww-la, called the
I'uited We Htaud, and the Divided We
FalL Blunt often told the tale that
when tliete vessels went out auii returned
without prizes, he with other boys would
go out to the slip and shout:
fnited we stand divided We fell
Bern out thirtv days, and got nutting at all.
It is 11<xnliess to say Blunt and the
other boy* kept out of the reach of the
captain* of both craft, and the appear
ance of the latter wa* enough fur a gene
ral skedaddle.
A tourer Somnambulist.
At midnight, recently, a young man
with I wile face and open eyes walked
lUto tlie Fifth street police station in
New York and stepping up to Hergeant
llagertv, announced: "I've come to
surrender myself. I've killed my girl,
and I want to give myself up."
" Who is your girl ?" asked the ser
geant.
" Kluta tileaoon of 51fi East Four-
Uwuth, ami I cut her throat," answered
the voting man.
"How did you cut her throat ?"
" 1 got her head through a pane of
glass and then cut it from ear to ear,"
replied the trouth. The M-rgeaut de
sputchivl detective Vissart to tlx** young
woman's bouse, and there Vissart con
fronted her. Bhe was tins picture of
life, and she laughed at him heartily,
thinking he had been fooled. Just aa
the officer went from the police station,
however, the young man turned to go
al nO, but Sergeant Hogerty told
him be wo* a pneoner. No noUce wits
paid to tins suggestion. The young
man started on. Hergeant llagertv
iumped over the railing and put his
iiaml 014 th.• youth's shoulder. <n be
ing touched be jiuti|>etl, startled, aud
glaring al-uit luoi askcvl him where he
was. It was plain then to the sergeant
that the young man was a somnambu
list. and hail just been awakened. He
wa* conducted to the waiting room.
The detective returned ui a towering
rage at what oon*idered his fooling.
He wa* soon fallowed by Mr. (ileaooti,
who explaimwl that the young man was
given to walking in his sleep. He em
phatically combated Sergeant Hagerty's
suggestion that tlie young man mav
harr been drinking by asserting he did
not drink. His name was Peter Coby.
and his age waa eighteen. He i cm-
B loved by and lives with Mr. Oleaoon.
c waa taken tin" next day before
Justice Flammer at Essex Market
polioe oourt. The Justice v*'k consid
erable interest in him, having been a
somnambulist himself. Numbers of
young Cobv's friends testified that he
was in the habit of going alxuit m this
semi-e-uischu]* •tub- and accusing him
self of all manner of crimes. He was
token away by his friends.
Singular Pnenomenon.
There was once found, say* the Inyo
(Gal.) Indritmdrnt, a pair of field glas
ses in the dtwtert near what is known a*
Death Valley. The glasses are supjsated
to have belonged to llalm, a lost guide
of Wheeler's expedition. They were
brought into one <rf the interior towns
bv an Indian, and jmrchaaed from him.
"tlie most singular {act connected with
them is that every object w ; thin range
of where tlie glasses ha>i beeu lying for
a year or more 1 a distinctly pbntogmphod
upon them. We have heard of sneh
phenomena ticfore, bnt thia is one of the
most remarkable instances we remem
ber. Both object glasses are covered
with perfect and beautiful photograph*
or etchings of desert shrnbs, stems,
branches, leaf stalks. Leaves and leaf
lets arc distinctlv marked, as if laid on
by a master hand There is no mixture
or confusion of one plant with another,
each having a clear border of unmarked
glass, rendering it probable that the aun
or lightning photograph, or whatever it
may l>o, wan received through the eye
glass. These picture* seem to occupy
s position about in the center of each of
theobjeot-ghuwwe, bnt a little nearer the
plnue than the eonTex side.
Immigration from tvcniinnj.
A rejvort jnst jircsented to the German
Reichstag give* some particnlar* of the
number and destination of the persons
who immigrated last year. The total
number of persons who left the German
porte of Bremen and Hamburg in 1877
amounted to 41,759, being considerably
loss than in 1876, whon 60,577 persons
immigrates! from the same ports. Of
those who left Hamburg 12,643 were
destine*! for New York, 274 for the West
Indies, 2,920 for Brazil and the River
Plate, 1,295 for tfeeCsp* of G*nhl Hope,
thirty-eight for Gliili, and 1,405 for
Australia. Of the total number Hailing
from Bremen 18,367 went to New York,
3,180 to Baltimore, 858 to New Orleans
and Havana, 1,613 to Brazil, and 781 to
the river Plate. Of the whole number,
however, who thus sailed from tlie Ger
man lairta, 21,618. or about one-half,
were foreigners, 5,005 coming from ltns
sia, 4,633 from Austria, 1,219 from Den
mark, and 8,378 from Hweden, Norway
and other countries.
Rich Without Money.
Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in theii
I lockets, and thonsaml* without esrgu A
pocket are rich. A man born with a
good sound constitution, a good stom
ach, a good heart, ami g<xxl limbs, and
a pretty good headpiece, is rich. Oood
bones are better than gold; tough mus
cles tlian silver; und nerves that flash
fire and carry energy to every function
are better than houses and land. It is
better than a landixl estate to have the
right kind of a father and mother.
Good breeds and bail breeds exist among
men as really as among herbs and
horses. Ed m otion may do much to
check evil tendencies or to develop good
ones; but it is a great thing to iuherit
the right proportions of faculties to
start with. The man is rich who has a
gins! disposition—who is naturallv kind,
Eatieut, cheerful, hopeful, and who
as a flavor of wit and fun in his com
position.
