An Earthquake Experience.

4 lady correspondent of the Cleve-
land Herald, writing from Callao, gives
as follows her first experience OF an
earthquake shock: might before
last we were having very restless
night could not get to sleep. About
II O'Clock Belle awoke, her big eyes
wide open, and a few moments after a
low, underground thunder came rolling
toward Us. H sprang up and said
earthquake but there was no need OF
bcing informed, for It was unmistaka-

the demoniac shake. | had but one
idea in rny head; it hsd been told me
few nights before to keep my slippers
always by the bedside. / had neglected
to do so, and in the frenzy of fright I
could only cry out, 'Oh, where are my
slippers?' B., who lay i'll her little
bed quite composed, not approaching
the danger, told me just where they
were. Ny hands were cold and clam
my, and was truly beside myself. l
cannot describe an earthquake in
manner that you could comprehend.
They are neither sublime nor grand,
but terrible and demoniacal. This one
lasted about fifteen or sixteen seconds,
yet it aroused sensations that I did not
get over for twenty-sour hours. All

had anything to do with a terror SO
horrible"

Velocity OF Thought.

The velocity of thought is commonly
regarded as unsurpassed in nature, a
notion which is well illustrated by the
phrase "quick as thought, so fire.
quently used TO express the utmost con-
ceivable rapidity of action. But Mr..
George F. Rodwell, in an extremely
suggestive paper ON the perception Of
the invisible, lately printed in Macmil-
e0n's Magazine, points out that "quick
as thought is not nearly so "quick as
lightning - for while, according to Sir
Charles Wheatstone, fash of light
ming lasts only the one thousandth part
of a secocd, the experiments of Dom
ders show that it takes about one
twenty sixth part of second to think.
We believe, however, that the expert
ments made by Prof. Ogden n. Rood,
of Columbia College, New York, dur
ing a thunderstorm IN August, 1870,
showed that the duration OF the flashes
of lightning then seen was twice as
great as Sir Charles Wheatstone's re-
suit-or, in round numbers, the five
hundredth part of a second.

A Beautiful Incident.

A gentleman relates that many years
ago he was on q visit to the Isle of
Man, and during his walks he strolled
into the churchyard, where repose the
bodies of many faithful and humble
Christians. Near grave in a corner
of the churshyard be noticed lady
with little girl III latter about II
years Of age) to w che was relating
the story of the airyman's Daugh-
ter" whose remains lay beneath their
feet. As the lady proceeded with the
narrative he observed the little girl lift
up her eyes filed with tears, and heard
her say that she would try and be as
good as the dairyman's daughter. Al
ter planting a beautiful lily on the
grave they walked away The gentle
man, upon making inquiry, found that
the lazy was the Duchess OF Kent and
the little girl her daughter. The latter
is now Queen of England.

The Largest Vaulted Roof
World.
the

The largest vaulted roof in the world
is claimed by Vienna-that belonging
to the great Exposition building. 1t is
said to cover nine times the space of the
dome of st. Paul's, in London; eight
times the area of the dome of st.
Peters, and seven times that of st.
Sophia, at Constantinople. This miracle
of architectural skill is $50 feet in
diameter, LOSE feet round, and stands
on a ring of thirty columns 36 feet
apart around the circumference. With
in the ring of columns there is no sup
port. The upper dome, 100 feet in
diameter, admits light by series of
windows 40 feet high and 10 feet wide,
between thirty columns which carry the
upper dome. The slope of the cone is
80 deg, and the length of the slope on
all sides is 200 feet. The roof is formed
of $50 iron plates, tapering uniformly
upward from the circumference to the
apex OF the cone. They are riveted like
the plates of ship.

A Farmers Boy.

Over fifty years ago youth working
on farm asked his father to give him
money enough to buy gun. The old
man could not spare it i; but the boy,
nothing daunted, found an old piece Of
iron about the place, and in the course
of time contrived to make a gun barrel
out of it, with the very meager facilities
afforded by a country blacksmith shop.
He had not the materials to make a lock
and stock, so he walked to the nearest
town and traded for the necessary at
tachments, and was encouraged by the
smith for having made so good shooter.
This gave him the ambition to make
another; so he went to cutting ont
grindstones from the native rock 20
raise the money for gun materials, and
In a short time there was a considerable
demand for guns of his make. During
the French war with Prussia he was
called upon to furnish guns for the
army, and in less than eight months he
made and delivered to the government
of France rifles of particular pattern,
costing S5,000,0o0, which amount was
duly paid. The same man furnishes
rifles now for the United States, South
America, Rome, Spain, Egypt, and
Japan. The farmers boy who wanted
a gun is Eliphalet Remington, of lion,
n. Y. His mandatory covers four
acres of ground, and he employs 1,2O0
men. Not satisfied with this achieve
ment, he has recently completed sew
ing machine, which is reported to rep
resent the latest and most perfect ad-
vance in the improvement of this i'm
portant adjunct of domestic economy.
This is the type of boy who, when
there is Lot 3 way, makes way for
himself.

A SINGULAR and affecting trait is re-
corded of the bison when young.
Whenever a COW bison falls by the hand
of the hunter, amp happens to have a
calf, the helpless creature, instead OF
attempting to escape, stays by its fallen
dam, with many expressions OF strong
affection. The mother being secured,
the hunter makes no attempt on the
calf. because this is unnecessary, butpro-
ceeds 10 cut up the carcass; and th-n,
LAYING il on his horse, he returns home,
followed by the young one, which thus
instinctively follows the remains of Its
parent. A hunter once rode into the
town of Cincinnati, between the Miamis,
followed in this manner by three calves,
all or which had just lost their dams.

Notes on Sleep.

To literary men, preachers, teach
ers, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and
brain workers I'm general, the follow
ing hints are exceedingly worth at
tentiOn:
The fact is, that as life becomes
concentrated, and its pursuits more
eager, short sleep and early rising be-
come impossible. We take more
sleep than our ancestors, and we take
more because we want more. Six
hours sleep will do very well for Il
plOwman or rbricklayer, and any other
man who has no exhaustion but that
produced by manual labor, and the
sooner he takes il after the labor the
better. But for man whose labor is
mental, the stress of work is OH his
brain and nervous system and for him
who is tired in the evening with a
day of mental application, neither
early to bed nor early to rise is whole
some. He needs letting down to the
level of rcpOse. The longer the inter-
val between the active use of the
brain and the retirement to bed, the
better his chance of sleep and refresh
ment. To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good us two hours
before 1t, and even then his sleep will
not so completely and quickly restore
him as it will his neighbor who is
physically tired. He must not only
go to bed later, but lie longer. His
best sleep probably lies i'm the early
morning hours, when all the nervous
excitement has passed away, and he
Is III absolute rest.

In the lips. When the ancients,
among their beauties, made mention
of small mouths and lips, they meant
small only as opposed to an excess
the other way, fault verv common
i'm the South. The sayings i'm favor
of small mouths, which have been
the ruin of SO many pretty looks, are
very absurd. If there must be an
excess either way, it had better be
the liberal one. A pretty pursed-up
mouth is fit for nothing but to be
left to its complacency. Large
mouths are Oftener found i'm union
with generous dispositions than very
small ones. Beauty should have
neither, but a reasonable look of
Openness and delicacy. 1t has an
elegance in lips, when, instead of
making sharp angles mt the corner of
the mouth, they retain a certain
breadth to the very verge, and show
the red. The corner then looks
painted with free and liberal pen
