Things that are very Foolish.

For young man to think he does
himself credit by hanging round theater
doors, smoking bad cigars and paying
for expensive oyster suppers, in order
to be called liberal " by a clique of
youths as soft in the brain as himself
For lady to be annoyed because
gentlemen do not always give her the
best half of the street and the incest
seat in the omnibus. She should not
forget that these conventional courtesies
are not her right farther than they
choose to concede them
For an unAedged clerk to think he
must buy extravagant gloves and cravats
for every festive occasion, because l..
Jones, whose father is worth thirty
thousand dollars, does so. The best
way of proving his manhood would be
to let such things entirely alone-selt-
denial is better than fortune.
For girl to think she is establishing
her character as young lady of fashion,
by allowing her mother to toll through
all the drudgery of the house, and then
investing her money in gaudy brooches
and artificial flowers.
For a man to suppose himself gen
tleman because he touches his hat TO a
party of splendidly-dressed ladies, while
he scorns to extend a helping hand to
the old apple woman struggling across
the street. un

Rnre Old Watches.

The Boston Traveller gives an account
of some old watches on exhibitionat the
Woman's Suffrage Bazaar, the eontribu-
ton of the Waltham Watch Company.
They illustrate the progress in watch
making since 1000. Among them is one
made by Linnebac, at Orleans, about the
year 1900, before screws or hair springs
were used. 1t is a small silver watch,
with but one hand to indicate the time.
1t has the "barrel" and "fusee, and the
power is communicated from one to the
other by means of a horsehair or some
thing of that kind.
There is also a very ancient bull S
eye that seems to have seen good ser
vice; its face its SCARED and its hands
gone. This one was made by Alexander
fifty or sixty years later than the other.
This to some extent is held together by
screws, and has the hair spring and a
chain instead of the horsehair. Though
old and full Of years, it yet retains some
vitality. Both of these watches have the
verge escapement which required them
to be twice as thick as those now made.
Another one is very curious in con-
struction and interesting from associa-
ton. This belonged to the Duke of We'll
lington, and was obtained from Grattan
when he was last in this country. 1t is
large enough to FIJI watch pocket three
times the present size. The carving on
the gold case represents a battlefield,
with tents, cannon and implements Of
war; on one side is en- elephant, indi-
eating the battle 10 have been in the
East. Rising above the scenes is the
Rock of Gibraltar, upon which is plant
ed the British lion and flag; in the dis.
tance the rising sun is seen between the
pillars Of Hercules. The case and the

where the sun does not Set.

The following graphic passage is from
the description of scene witnessed by
Mr.. Campbell and his party in the
north of Norway, from cliff 1000 feet
above the sea: "The ocean stretched
away in silent vastness at our feet the
sound of waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; away in the north, the
huge old sun swung low along the hori-
zon like the slow beat of the pendulum
in the tall clock of our grandfather S
parlor corner. We all stood silent, look
ing at our watches. When both hands
came together at IL midnight, the full,
round orb hung triumphantly above the
waves; a bridge of gold, running due
north, spanned the water between us and
him. There he shone in silent majesty,
which knew no setting We involun-
tarily took off our hats; no word was
said. Combine if you can, the most bril-
liant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and
its beauties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up the ocean,
heaven and mountain. In half an hour
the sun had swung up perceptibly on its
beat; the color changed to those OF
morning; fresh breeze rippled over
the food; one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind u.s. we had
slid into another day.

A SnuH-Taker Poisoned.

An English gentleman lately went
home from India for medical advice.
He had been gradually losing the use OF
his upper extremities; and his physi-
clans attributed it to his use of snuff
But the snuff was the best of brown rap
pee, imported from a popular London
tobacconist, and the patient, therefore,
doubted the correctness of his India
medical attendants opinion, and sought
other advice.
His London physician suspected that
it was the effect of some poisonous agent
mixed with the tobacco; and finding
that the snuff was exported in leaden
cases, to keep it moist, he took measures
to ascertain whether the lead was not
the mischievous agent in the case.
Six separate parcels we're ordered from
India, and samples from each carefully
examined; when it was discovered that
lead was intimately combined with every
parcel of the snuff, and that where the
moist snuff adhered to the sides of the
leaden jars, spots of carbonate of lead
we're formed, as was conjectured by the
carbonic acid liberated by the fermenta-
ton of the moist snuff in the jar.
The inference is very obvious, that if
snuff can be thus poisoned by leaden
jars, any other article of consumption
which is at all moist, or liable to become
so, may be in like manner poisoned (;
and that the use of leaden jars or boxes,
for such purposes, should be entirely
abandoned

In England recently the corpse OF a
drowned man having been brought TO
land a woman brought to the spot her
son, afflicted with wens upon the neck
She obtained of the coroner permission
that the boy should draw his hand seven
times across the neck of the deceased.
This, if foolish, was at least harmless.
Another recent instance OF FOLLY with
disastrous results is recorded. 4 man
had died of typhoid fever. A boy at
hicted with wens was brought to the SIDE
of the body, and the dead hand was
placed upon his neck. He took the dis
ease in consequence, and the malady
was communicated to the family and
spread through the whole neighborhood:
The disease was of q violent type, and
many deaths followed Such things, in
the nineteenth century, seem incredible
but this occurrence is vouched for and
no doubt took place. Perhaps, after all,
II is not much more senseless than many
customs which still obtain even in our
own midst. Not being attended with
disastrous consequences, we do not hear
Of or note them. But the folly is no less
absurd. The superstition which per-
petuates the idolatry Of the pagan ages
defos sdaeation and Christianity.
