"Then I'll go and ask him, cried
the wife and when she had told him of
his old tormentor's troubles, the hunch-
back freely forgave him all. The man
professed to be very grateful, but after

back had only given up his claim be-

he went from house to house like q

origin in impure blood filled with irritating,

Popular Science RevieIO.
The latest improvements in spin
ming glass are due, according to the
Journal of Applied Science Oondon),
to the Vienna manufacturer Brunfaut,
who exhibited his talent in this speciality
in 1850 at Pesth. After manifold trials,
he discovered composition which may
be made at any time into curled or
frizzled warm. The frizzled threads sur
pass in fneness, not only the finest cot
ton, but even a single cocoon thread, and
they appear ut the same time almost as
soft and elastic as silk lint. The woven
glass-hock wool has quite recently been
used as a substitute of ordinary wool
wrappings for patients suffering from
govt, and its use for this purpose has
been, it is stated, successful. Chemists
and apothecaries have found it useful
for fltering. The smooth threads are
now woven into textile fabric, which are
made into cushions, carpets, table
cloths, shawls, neck-ties, cuffs, collars.
and other garments, etc. They may be
used for weaving the figures in brocad-
ed silk or velvet. As a material for
fancy dresses, tapestry, for covering
furniture, forlaces. embroidery, hosiery,
etc, the glass tissue will probably at
some future time occupy prominent
place. Owing to its brilliancy and the
| splendor of its colors, it is the most
beautiful material for dressing the hair,
neck, and head. In softness, the glass
yarn almost approaches silk and to the
touch, it is like the finest wool or cot
ton. 1t possesses remarkable strength );
and it remains unchanged in light and
warmth, and is not altered by moisture
or acids. Spots may readily be remov-
ed by washing. Being non-inhammable
and incombustible, it is especially
valuable for making dress materials for
ladies. Clothes of glass fabrics are
much warmer than those of cotton or
wool at the same time, they are of low
specific gravity.

Lord RYron's Daughter.

Excepting Mrs. Somerville, no wo-
man of this century has ever exhibited
as remarkable mathematical powers as
Lady Lovelace. By some curious
psychological perversion, her talents, no
wise inferior to her fathers, were en-
tirely destitute of the poetic element.
Her personal appearance, however, re-
sembled the Byrons. The writer saw
her at Clifton, the year before she was
married. She was with her mother,
Lady Noel Byron. The head, face, line
eaments, skin, wavy hair, and large
liquid eyes of her father were all repro
duced in the daughter Unfortunately,
her character, was also like his. There
was craving for excitement, that made
to a man whom she deservedly loved
and espected-surrounte by all the
elegapcies of the most cultivated En-
glish life-a leader in society, whether
at their handsome mansion in st.
James's square, during the London sea-
son, or in the palatial country-seat at
Ashley Combe-possessed of wealth,
blest with children, the idol of her hus-
band and the admiration of all scienti-
tic men-she could not be content. Be-

giant degree in the Reconsideration

pie income she might have done all this
and escaped unframed But her agent
faiIed-the bankruptcy courts took pos
session f his accounts-and to save
public scandal, Lord Lovelace came
forward, and, at an enormous sacrifice,
made good deficiency. Her chagrin
at this, it was always believed, was at
the bottom of long illness that follow
ed, which terminated fatally.

. There is nothing more disheartening than ner-
vous debility. In extreme cases of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live or die. A
feeling of hopelessness comes over them. and in
some instances where the threatening symptoms
not met by prompt and proper treatment, lu-
macy idiocy ensues. Yet nervous debility is not
a dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with. A
medcated stimulant is the remedy needed, aud in
Hostetter's Stomach Btter's this specific for the
complaint is presented in its purest and most po-
tent form. Nervous disease is usually complicated
with other ailments. 1t frequently involves bill
ousness constipation, irregularities of the bowels
indigestion and great mental depression. In the
spring of the year. owing to the effect of chilling
searching winds and other unhealthy atmospheric
phenomena, upon the external nerves, persons
who are subject to nervous affections often suffer
acute distress, both of body and mind, from this
cause. 1t Is, therefore advisable for all who are
liable to these troubles and 10 the other bodily ills
above mentioned which so frequently accompany
them. TO commence the regular use of Hostetter's
Bit,ers early in the season. The severe nervous
and bilious attacks with which they might other
avoided. As a nervine, gentle apeTient and anti
bilious medicine. the Btters have no equal.

Doves in Pekin.

The city of Pekin abounds with doves
which are profitable to the owners as
food. Formerly they were preyed up
on by vultures, which are exceedingly
numerous also; so that it would have
protected the pigeons against the exter-
minating warfare of a cruel enemy, had
not a lucky mechanical contrivance been
devised for their security. The Chinese
make small whistles that give a shrill
sound, held against the wind, which are
fastened to the tails of the birds just as
they are ready to be weaned. Fly which
way they. may, the little organ pipe
screams Justify without impeding the
bearers; for go as they choose-the
swifter the better for the whistle-they
brighten their old vagabond destroyers
prodigiously, which flee as fast as their
wings will carry them, when they hear
an approaching whistle.

poor souls who in this world and that

Brown is tolerably sound sleeper,
and one afternoon last week he lay down
in his room at the hotel to take a nap
One of his friends went around and
scared up several scientific men and
doctors, and told them that there was a
very remarkable and interesting case
up at the hotel There was a man who
had been asleep since New-Year' s-day,
and they couldn't wake him. They had
shaken that man, screamed in his ear,
pinched him, thrown cold water on him,
and done every other thing that could
be imagined, and yet he was sound as
ever. So the doctors held a consulta-
ton and agreed to investigate the phe-
nomenOn, and at the same time endeav-
or to arouse the victim from his stupor
They formed in body and went up to
Browns room. At a given signal one
doctor fired six shots from a revolver,
another thumped drum, third whis-
tied on his fingers, fourth executed a
solo on the cymbals, a fifth fired a can
non under Brown s window, and all the
rest yelled like pack of Comanche In
dians-all but one and he prodded
Browns legs savagely two or three
times with carving fork for the pur-
pose of exciting irritation. The sleeper
was aroused. Brown woke up all of a
sudden, with his hair erect and eve
balls protruding. He did not wait for
an explanation he did not even pause
for the purpose of going through the
formality of being introduced to the
company. He made one wild and aw-
full dash for the window, and went out
head-foremost.

A Machine for Carving Stone.

Col. A. S. Gear, the well known Bos-
ton inventor, has recently contrived a
wonderful machine for carving and cut
ting any imaginable pattern upon stone.
In its operation this machine is striking
ly simple That part in which the cut
ting tool is placed works on the princi-
pie of the human arm, and is as easily
adaptable to the manipulation of sur
face. On table under it, the stone to
be cut or worked is secured by clamps,
which by an ingenious continuance ad-
NIT OF placing the stone at any angle or
in any position whatever. The tools are
set with black diamonds, and placed in
the end or hand of the iron arm, that is
provided with adjustable handles which
the workman grasps. The pattern hav-
ing been clamped upon the stone, all
that is necessary is to set the machine
in operation and it will carve out the
stone much more accurately than is pos
sible by hand, and in less than one-hun-
dredth part of the time. 1t may be so
adjusted as to cut deep or shallow, and
make any pattern of molding or cutting
required. 1t will surface granite with
incredible rapidity. In fact, every kind
of stone is the same to it, whether it is
of soft, laminated formation like slate,
which cannot be fashioned by hand, or
the hardest granite. A joint stock COM
company with a capital of $1,50O,0O
has been formed in Boston to supply
the New England demand. This com
pany's first large work will be the erec-
tion of block of stone buildings in the
burnt district of that city. One ma
chine will do the work of 100 men, and
its adaptability to any kind of work
from mantels to the futing of columns
foreshadows a revolution In the stone
trade and greater elegance in architec-
tural designs without increased expense.
