QUIET PEopLE.-Quiet people seldom
get full justice done them, except by
their immediate friends. 1t is your
noisy, rackety folks who secure most of
the worlds ready acclamation. The
man who talks commonplaces at the top
of his voice, who is in the habit of per-
petrating preposterous jokes, and laugh
ing consumedly at the same, and who
makes point of thrusting himself into
conversations, whether he understands
them or not, runs much better chance
OF being dubbed clever fellow than
does he who rarely speaks unless he is
thoroughly az fat with his subject, and
who is addicted to advancing his
opinions in u hesitating timid fashion.
Even when boisterous people have
been found to be shallow imposters and
to partake largely of the character of
the drum, which looks big and is so ex-
tremely hollow, many persons still feel
sort of admiration for them, and they re-
ceive more credit than is their due. Their
boldness, which, in many instances,
amounts to positive impudence, secures
the half admiration of those who feel,
and rightly, that it is useless their at
tempting the same kind of thing, and
who are frequently completely eclipsed
when brought into contact with a for
ward being of the kind under notice.

IRoN-CLADs AND TORPEDoEs. Sun
has an article to show that iron-clad
vess els of war are destined to have very
short career. The employment of tor
pedoes renders them comparatively USE
less
Torpedoes produce the greatest moral
rs we'll as the greatest material effect.
They destroy utterly the courage of an
enemy. No fleet however mighty, dare
advance to an attack when every inch of
water conceal means of destruction
which can neither be escaped nor re-
sisted; and no matter how many or
how strong the ships that may be
brought to the onset, it is possible by q
sufficient system of torpedoes to blow
every one of them out of the water.
Torpedoes are immensely superior also
in tho fact that they cost comparatively
nothing to put down, while the iron
clad vessel is the most expensive ma
chine of war ever devised; and while
torpedoes in any number may be pre-
pared in very short time, it takes Il
long period to build and fit out an iron
clad vessel; so that on tho whole, it is
doubtful whether iron-clads will not fin
ally be abandoned even rs floating bat
teres for the defense of cities. What
is most probable is that the navies of the
future will consist for the most part of
small, swift steamships carrying only
one or two guns, and designed not to
fight great battles, but to act singly as
guerrillas of the ocean, by destroying
the commerce of the enemy.

AN INGENIOUS CONTINUANCE

a bee raiser III New England is said to
have patented an invention for the pro-
lection of bees from the attacks of the
honey moth, which enters the hives at
night and rifles the stores The idea arose
out of his familiarity with the daily rou-
tine, not of bees only, but of hens. Hens,
he observed, retire to rest early; bees
seek repose earlier still no sooner are
they sunk in slumber than the moth steals
into their abode and devours the produce
Of their toll He has now built q stand
of hives with hen house above it. The
bees fist betake themselves to their
dwelling and settle themselves for the
night The hens then come home TO
roost on their perch, and, as they take
their place upon it, their weight sets
some simple mechanism 10 work, which
at once shuts down the doors of all the
hives. When the day dawns, how
ever, the hens leave their roost, and the
removal of their weight from the perch
raises the hive doors and gives egress to
the bees in time for their mornings
work.

4 FIGHT WITH 4 LYNN.

Some few miles east Of East Hampton,
Mass, is a large and lonesome tract of
land, covering over an area Of eight or
ten hundred acres, and is faliliarly
known rs the Perkins wood. On the east
side of these woods runs large stream
near this stream two persons recently
discovered IA lynx i'm The top of a large
hickory. One, n lad who has not seen
sixteen summers, bold and daring, never
known 10 finch in any emergency, and
with the courage of II Putnam, voltn-
teered to climb the tree Both being
destitute Of guns. it was Il bold under
taking 10 venture 10 capture this large
beast of the forest Young Dan, buoycd
up with the hope Of killing this beast
with a club, quickly assembled the tree;
the density OF the limbs almost placed
the beast ont of his sight, but by the
help Of his knife he succeeded in Topping
few of the branches, which placed the
animal in full view Of him. It's back was
arched up, the froth dripping from its
mouth, It's tail though short was elevat-
ed, its eyes flashed, paving with its fore
feet, one after another, bark and splnt-
ers flew. On the side hill Dams COM
panion managed to attract the attention
Of the beast. Then was the time for our
young hero, who, raising himself up,
managed to make desperate pass with
his club at the beast; at the same time
the animal made a spring, landingon the
ground in his stunned condition. Hoad.
ley grappled with the maddened animal,
and they struggled together down de.
clivity. Both plunged into the water.
The eagerness of the lynx 20 press
through the water and the young mans
unsuccessful attempt to drown it created
such a splashing noise as fairly echoed
through the ravinc. At length the man
and animal reach the opposite shore in
an exhausted condition. Our young he
ro was already there, and had the salts
faction of completing the destruction OF
the savage beast.

THE OLDEST TIMBER LN TIE
WORLD.

Probably the Oldest timber in the world
which has been subjected 10 the use of
man, is that which is found in the an
cient temples of Egypt. II Is found in
connection with stonc-work which is
known TO be at least four thousand years
old. This wood, and the only one used
in the construction of the temple, is in
the form of ties, holding the end of one
stone 10 another in its upper surface.
When two blocks were laid in place,
then it appears that an excavation about
an inch deep was made in each block, in
TO which an hour-glass shaped tie was
driven. II is, therefore, very difficult
to force any stone from its position.
The ties appear 10 have been the tama-
risk, or shittim wood of which the ark
was constructed, n sacred tree i'll ancient
Egypt, and now very rarely found in the
valley of the Nile. Those dove-tailed
ties are just as sound now as the day OF
their insertion. Although fuel is en-
tremely scarce in that country, these bits
of wood are not large enough to make il
an object with the Arabs TO heave oil
layer after layer Cf heavy stone for so
small prize Had they been of bronze,
half the old temples would have been
destroyed years ago, so precious would
they have been for various purposes.

CHINESE METHOD or RAISING
MONEY FOR RELIGIOUS PUR
POSES

An English traveller lectured before u
scientific society in London recently,
and described the Chinese method Of rails
ing money for the building or repairing
of temples as follows: In the streets OF
Pekin ] one day found a man in q sort
of wooden sentry-boX; large nails had
been driven into it, so that their points
projected through. This prevented the
man from leaning against the sides, and
the only rest he had was from sitting on
IL board within. He was monk, and
never seemed to sleep, for he had a string
with which he night and day sounded Il
large, sonorous bell every few minutes
as sort of advertisement for hiS pur-
pose. This was, that the benevolent
should come forward with money; each
nail represented a sum. When any one
paid that sum his name was stuck up on
Il bit of paper, and the nail was pulled
out, making it more comfortable for the
hermit within. All the nails represented
the necessary amount for the repair OF a
temple which was close behind. This is
a common proceeding for raising the
wind for such purposes. l was told that
this monk had been two years shut up,
and that he would likely be another year
before he got out of his cocoon of nails "

There is q romantic little story about
the way Toledo, Ohio came TO have such

(he was Frenchman, from Canada, and
