Won ders of Minute Workmanship.

In the twentieth year of Queen
Elizabeth blacksmith named Mark
Scaliot made lock consisting OF
eleven pieces ofiron. steel, and brass,
all of which, together with askey to
It, weighed but one grain of gold
He also made chain of gold con
sisting of orty-three links, and, hav-
ing fastened this to the before men
toned lock and key, he put the chain
about the neck of flea, which drew
them all with ease. 6
All these together, lock and key,
chain and flea, weighed only one
grain and q half. Oswaldus Nor
hingerus, who was more famous than
even Scaliot for his minute contriv
ances, is said to have made 1,6OO
dishes of turned ivory, all perfect
and complete in every part, yet so
small, thin and slender, that sill OF
them were included at once in a cup
turned out OF peppercorn OF the
common size. Johannes Shad, OF
Mitelbrach, carried this wonderful
work with him to Rome, and showed
it 10 Pope Paul ", who saw and
counted them all by the help OF a
pair of spectacles. They were so
little as to be almost invisible to the
eve. johannes Ferrarius, Jesuit,
had in his possession cannous OF

and all other military furniture, all
of which were also contained in q

Some Yankee has invented an ar

from being injured by careless hand
ling. 1t is simply an india rubber

Strange it was never thought of
before. We can imagine the fiendis1l
look of rage and disappointment
which passes over the countenance of
the baggage-smashing porter who for
the first time sees one of these con-
trivanees. The delight of his life is
gone. The malignant ehuckle with

How to Tell the Length of Your Life.

Last evening, Ut. L. .. Lambert
lectured before large audience in
Steinway Hall upon Longevity and
Brevity," the latter word being
rather unlawfuliy coined by him as
authentic 10 the former The Doctor
maintained that the age to which any
man could arrive, even with the ut
most care, was determined within
narrow limits by that to which his an
cestors have arrived. He treated
vitality throughout rs quantitative
force. Each person inherited GER
tain amount which was spent in n
certain time, and this time might be
short, although health was good and
strength great. The natural period
oflife, however, could. of course, be
shortened by inattentiOn to laws OF
life. He claimed furthermore, that
there were personal, indications by
which one could determine whether
he was long-lived or shortlived, in
the absence of knowledge OF .his IN.
heritance in that respect or as con-
iirmatory OF such knowledge. These
indications he did not consider to be
as we'll ascertained and defined rs
they might be and would be-the
science was as yet in its infancy-but
from observations in thousands of
cases he had discovered a portion of
them.
Indications of longevity were to be
lonnd in depth Of brain between the
eyebrows and the opening of the ear,
in long, oval face, in 4 large nose, in
hazel eyes, in a long body relatively
to the limbs, in moderately dropping
shoulders and moderately long necks
"Brevity" in shallowness of brain
in the region mentioned, in limbs dis
proportionately long to the body, in
too long and too short Il neck, and in
a peculiar light blue circle to be seen
around the pupil of the eye. The au-
dience was evidently much interested
in the theories of the lecturer.

Mrs. Glenn, few weeks since con
victed of the murder of the Youngs,
at Indianapolis, Ind, and sentenced
to imprisonment for life in the JEFF
fersonville penitentiary, was visited,
at that institution, on Friday last, by
reporter of the Louisville Courier
Journal, who thus describes the in
terview:
cat the end of the passage we
came TO a good sized room, clean
and |ell lighted, and connect,,d By a
door with small room no less clean
ly and comfortable than the first
As we entered, plainly dressed
lady advaBced with smile toward
US. She did not look like Il prison
er, and we were not little surprised
when instead of the name anu title
of an attache of the institu ton, the
name of Mrs. Clem was prohouncee.
She had been knitting, and she held
her work in her hand as she seated
herself upon plain bench, which
was One>of the fixtures of the room.
Her dress was CT calico, with large
figures, and she wore a very little
plain jewelry. Neither large nor
yet small woman, there is nothing
either attractive or repulsive about
her figure. She has very pleasant
face, rather small and round blue
eyes, a coed nose, but rather thin,
firm set lips. Her face evidenced
her thirty years Of age, but she does
not look old for all that. Her tore
head is high and round, and her hair
winch is of dark brown, is neatly
smoothed and done up Her ap-
pearancs is well calculated to i'm
press a stranger favorably, and she
is certainly a very pleasant murder
ess, if murderess she be. Her con-
versation does not show her to he a
lady of more than ordinary educa
tional attainments, but she is certain
ly thinker, and a woman who
knows what is going on about her.
"After introducing us, Col. Shuler
retired, promising to return in few
minutes.

The Advantage of Learning a Trade.


The advice OF Benjamin Franklin,
to give every child a trade by which
he can earn a living, il necessary,
comes of an experience older than
his. In some countries this has been
the law Ill others, q common Gus
tom. ST. Paul, though educated in
the law at the feet of Gamaliel, also
acquired the important Orienta
handicraft oil a tent-maker, by which
lie was able 10 earn his living while
prosecuting his mission. 1t sagoOd
and wise Thing TO do. You may be
able to send your children fortunes
but "ricbes t&ke themselves WINGS
You may give them finished educa
tions, and they may be gifted with
extraordinary genius but they may
be placed in situations where no ed
ucatiOn and no talent will be so avail
able as some humble, honest trade
by which they eau get their iivi ng
and be useful TO others.
