Eighteen Hundred Years After Deaii,.

81 A correspondent of 4ppletOBS' Journal
writing of excavations at POmpeii says:
Among the most interesting of the OBJ
iects found recently are two skeletons,
one of a somewhat elderly man. the
other of woman. They were found in
the Via Stabia among the ashes of tie
last eruption, evidently overtaken in
their flight and buried among the
cinders. According TO the usual method
employed to preserve the external ap-
pearanee of objects, liquid plaster was
poured into the cavity, which, servirg 9
as mold, fac-simile of the forms was
obtained; and thus perfectly preserved
the statue-hkea bodies were placed lii
glass cases in the Pompeii Museum.
While approaching all the horror OF
such death, and the suffering endured,
as shown by the position of the limbs,
one cannot but imagine what would
! have been the astonishment of chat man
and woman had some prophet informed
them that eighteen hundred years after
their death their, forms, and even as
much of their garments as were not con-
sumed in the eruption, would be placed
/ IN q museum for inspection by a multi
,tJlde of sight-seers, some from lands the
existence of which they had never
dreamed of. The poor woman is lying
on her face, and even the form of heI
hair, put up behind, is seen. One arm
shields her forehead, and she is sup
ported by the other. Her stony limbs
are well formed, and traces of gar
ment are seen passing in'folds around
her. The man, although placed on hi:
back in the exhibition, when found wa:
turned on his side. One arm rests o.
I his hip; the other is uplifted. The fac,
is somewhat distorted. but massive anC
smoothly shaven. Even the formof th'
! fastening of the sandals aroHnd th'
ankle, and of the long button higher W
I on the leg to hold them is clearly seen
The limbs are partly drawn up. Th
skeleton of tolerably large dog, ais
recently found, is in the Museum O
Pompeii, his whole form preserved il
plaster, in the same manner as thOs
|. Just mentioned. He is lying on hi
back, writhing in suffering, biting hi
hind leg. The rings in his collar ar
plainly seen.

The Adventures of a Diamond.

One of the finest brilliants in Amerl-
ca, and one with romantic history,
says the Salt Lake City (Utah) CORE
spondeAt of the Omaha Bee, is now Tor
sale at the store of JOslin & Park, IN
this city. This stone is l-32 OF carat
lighter than the celebrated Tweed dla-
mond, but it's cutting is much better
and it is considered by experts to be
more valuable. 1t weighs eight and
half carats, and is exactly half an men
in diameter. 1t was for many hundred
wears in the family of an East INDIA
prince. This potentate presented u 10
the ex-Oueen Christina of Spain, who
presented it to her daughter, eX-'lueen
isabella, on the occasion of her mar
riaoe. The latter was forced to sell 1t,
with many other diamonds, and Henle
Brothers, of New York, bought 1t at an
auction of her diamonds, which was
made in London From this firm 1t was
purchased by St. Louis gentleman,
with about $50, 600 worth Of other dla-
monds. He was soon after offered Sl5,-
| 900 in oold for it bv the Americas CLUB
| of New York, but he refused to sell IL.
Subsequently it was stolen from nun
while visiting at Saratoga oPll
thieves, who employed what IS known
as the umbrella game. While ah@ht-
ino from the cars man spread an UNI
brella in his face, and as he started back
the min was torn from his shirt bosom.
The trick was so odexterOusly turned that
the victim did not discover his loss for
several hours. When, however, he found
himself minus the wonderful brilliant,
he promptly telegraphed to the daily
papers of New York city, offering So
600 reward and no questions asked. In
twenty-four hours his pin was restored
and the thieves were the richer the
| amount of the reward.
After this the same gentleman came
TO Salt Lake City and traded his dla-
mond for mining property valued at
s22. 600. This mine-the Eureka Zlntlc
t-developed well, and the lucky specu-
, lator realized over $4,000 from his IN
vestment. The miner who received the
stone was cheated out of it by Chicago
gamblers, who sold it to diamond
, dealer, who, in turn sold it to the firm
, in this city that now possess 1t.

for him for thirty weeks.

The Formation Of Habits.

Saws Professor Joseph LIE COnte in
the Popular Science M0Hthty:- we are
all familiar with this process. A move
ment or series. of movements at first
painfully difficult, and requiring the
whole thought and attention, by repetl-
ton become as easy and seml-automadc
that attention is no longer necessary:
The most remarkable examples OF
these. such as walking, speaking, and
The like, probably belong partly to the
third category; the capacity for these IS
partly Inherited. Playing on a musical
instrument is therefore a better eXs NJ
pie. We all know the painful attention
necessary at first, and the ease and Ia
piditv of the mos. complex movements
attained by practice. Now, by What
mpaus, anatomical or physiological do
these at first difficult movements be-
come by repetition easy? The answer
| in general terms seems to be TINS
Every voli ional act is attended with a
! chance in the brain, which, however, Is
| eIiob7 liable to be efaced by subsequent
chances. and therefore evanescent. IL
the same act, however, be repeated
many times, the change becomes Geep
and ermanent-becOmes petrIhed IT
brain-structure; and this structure
whatever be its character or its seat
determines the appropriate acts witt
precision. It's as il every vol1tiona
act produced faint line, liable to b
erased on the tablets of the brain; b.
ruaniug over the same lines many time
these are deepened into grooves ant
finally into ruts, and motion in these be
comes easy and certain, because tn
l1u,s guide the motion instead OIL Tn
will. This repetition produces struc
ture and structure determines habit.
