THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

The Trustees of the British Museum
have recently given to the world fac
smile of a most unique and interesting
document, being an Egyptian hieratic
papyrus of the reign of Rameses Ill, Of
the twentieth dynasty, who fourished
over 1000 years before Christ's time.
The old historical gem is about 1873 feet
in length by sixteen and half inches
wide, is beautifully written by four
scribes, and has three brightly-colored
vignettes to illustrate it's text. It was
found under the floor of tomb on the
site OF the palace of Rameses and of the
temple Of Ammon, and was purchased
by the British Museum in 1873. It
records many of the events in the life of
that great monarch, who played checkers
with Isis, and was ungallant enough to
win that lady's golden kerchief and send
her back disconsolate to Hades.

Laughing Children.

Give me the boy or girl who smiles as
soon as the first rays of the morning sun
glance in through the window, gay, hap
ply and kind. Such boy will be fit to
"make up" into man-at least, when
contrasted with the sullen, morose,
grabbed fellow, who snaps and snarls
like a srlrly cur, or growls and grunts
like hyena from the moment he opens
his angry eyes till he is confronted by
his breakfast. Such girl, other things
being favorable, will be good material to
aid in gladdening some comfortable
home, or to refine, civilize, tame and
harmonic a rude brother, making him
gentle, affectionate and lovable. It is a
feast to even look at such ioy-inspiring
girl, and see the smiles flowing, so to
speak, from her parted lips, displaying
a set of clean, brushed teeth, look
ing almost the personifcation of beauty
and goodness; singing, and as merry as
the birds that commenced their morning
concert long before the lazy boys
dreamed that the sun was approaching
and about to pour whole food of light
and warmth upon the earth.

The Richest HeireSS.

The richest heiress in the world was
married in London, recently, when Han
nah de Rothschild, the only daughter of
the late Baron Meyer de Rothschild,
welded Lord Rosbery, the noted turf
man. The late Baron was great sport
ing man, and he was also very much at
tached to Lord Rosbery, who has now
taken to himself one of the most anna
BILE, if not the handsomest, of all the
Rothschild ladies. Lord Rosbery was
born in 1916, and is consequently in his
Both year. The late Baron left forty
millions, and daughter, being his only
child, received thirty-fve millions of it
under her fathers will. The Roths-
childs are very averse to these mar
riages and even when Hon. Eliot York,
about two years ago, married Miss An
ME de Rothschild, the second daughter
of Sir Anthony Rothschild, the feeling
was so keen that Sir Anthony forbade it.
It took place, however, though her
father refused to give her dowry. The
ex-equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh
could afford to put up with the loss, for
she has an income of some els, 900 per
annum, which she derived from her
grandfather

A Youthful Bride

The Office of the County Clerk was in
vaded on Saturday by wedding party
in search of marriage license. The
afable Clerk proceeded to fill out the
necessary document, and inquired the
ages of the candidates for matri-
mony. The groom's was given as 81,
while that Of the bride was stated to be
only H. This statement caused stay
of proceedings, and the Clerk informed
the parties that it was against the law to
issue a license to a woman under 18,
without the consent of her parents.
Thereupon the father of the bride, who
was one of the party, stepped forward
and said the bride had his full and free
consent; that she had already been mar
ried once and had buried her first hus.
band. The astonished Clerk, rightly
thinking that a would-be bride of such
ripe experience didn't need any legal
protection, hesitated no longer, but made
out the necessary document, and the
bridal party went on their way rejoicing.
Maid, wife, widow, and married again,

Form q Reading Club.

One of the pleasantest and most profit
able ways for spending some of the long
winter evenings is for few neighbors to
unite into a reading club. There need
be nothing formal about it. Have
meeting at the houses of the different
members alternately, or otherwise, as may
be most desirable, weekly or oftener, and
let such members as can read well take
turns in reading to the company. The
ladies can bring their sewing or knitting
and SO doubly improve the time. After
an hour or more spent in this way, the
subject Of the reading will form a topi
and supply staple for conversation, or, if
preferred, the usual topics Of social visit
ing can be talked of. Old and young can
in this way unite to mutual advantage,
far better than lounging at the store or
saloon. A single interesting volume may
be taken up and finished by installments,
or selections from different works can be
read. Let the subject be selected for the
entertainment of the company and not
the display of the elocutionary art Of the
reader.

AMERICAN DEATH-PITS.

The Saaeitariaa publishes a paper
on "Public Health Reform" in which
the writer, J. FL. Black, M. D., remarks j:
"There is scarcely public building in
any of the States, whether it be State
House, Court House, public hall, school
house, church, Jail, or asylum, that is
constructed in accordance with the sim
plest requirements of hygiene. Con-
siderations of this nature are either to-
tally neglected or left to the manage
ment of an interested constructor or to a
patentee's device, which may be, and
often is, little better than fraud The

Using Two Months.

The Paris journals tell of young man
IN one OF the hospitals who, by accident,
drank solution of potash, and afterward
was unable to swallow, the food-passages
to his stomach being shrrrnk by the effect
OF the burning poison.
He had nearly starved to death when
DIR. Verneuil, with the full consent of
the sufferer, decided on making an OPEN
ing in the stomach, through which nour-
ishment might be introduced. This
difficult and delicate operation was sue
cessfully performed; tube of india-rub-
Der was introduced, and on the fourth
day the wound was in fair progress of
healing.
The patient now possesses, so to speak.
two mouths, one by which he speaks.
and the other through which he takes
food, which is administered to him
through small tunnel. His digestion
is excellent, he enjoys good appetite,
has regained his strength and color, and
III two weeks has gained in weight over
twenty-four pounds. Retained in the
hospital as curiosity, he is able to at
tend to the more laborious portion of the
household work.
The other day a grand breakfast was
given in his honor at the Academy of
Medicine, and he was treated to various
sumptuous dishes by way of experiment.
His powers OF swallowing are limited to
few drops of liquid, but he is in the
habit of taking small portion of any
dainty dish that is presented to him, and
of then eiecting it, so as to please his
palate and exercise his sense of taste.

Another Account of the May Bennett
nupl

It is asserted that when the seconds
asked the principals if they were ready,
Mr.. May twice replied that he was not !;
that after the second asking the snap of
a pistol was heard; but Mr.. Mays
second thereupon advanced in front of
Mr.. Bennett and asked if it was his pis-
toll which had been snapped; hat Mr..
Bennett exhibited his weapon in proof
that such was not the case that Mr..
May then spoke up and said his pistol
had accidentally snapped that after this
the seconds adiudged to Mr.. Bennett the
right to fire; that Mr.. Bennett levelled
his pistol, took aim, and then, suddenly
throwing up his arm, fired in the all.
Whereby the duel ended with no blood.

GROWTH OF THE EARTH.

In recent lecture to an English audi
dence, Mr.. r. A. Proctor developed the
novel idea that the earth is, has always
been, and SO long as it shall exist as a
part Of our cosmical system must ever
continue to be, growing in size. Tt is
computed, said the lecturer, that hum
dreds of thousands of extra-terrene bod
les become incorporated with our globe
every twenty-four hours, and 40O,0OO,OOO
in the course of each year. They may
vary in weight between few grains and
a ton. Millions of years, however, would
be required to add single foot to the
earths diameter by these small accre-
lions.

sUBsom FLOWING WITH DYNAMITE.

An interesting experiment, says the
TmJ, Field and Farm, was recently
tried with dynamite in grape culture,
which from its complete success is sug-
gestive of still more wonderful uses for
this explosive agent. In the case referred
to, the dynamite was used in small pro-
portions to loosen the earth and allow
the admission of air and the free perco-
lation of water to the roots of the vines.
The manner of its application is described
as follows: Holes were made in the soil
about ten feet in depth, and at points
where no roots of the vines were likely
to be injured Cartridges Of dynamite
were then introduced and exploded,
and the result was that, for the entire
depth (ten feet the earth was made
loose and friable. The ground, in short,
was not only rendered in better condition
than could have been effected by pillow
and harrow, but every phylloxera on the
roots of the vines was killed. The sue
cess attendant upon this experiment,
though on comparatively small scale,
will undoubtedly lead to larger and more
important undertakings.

Ouadruplets This Time.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says " Mrs.
Mcdonald, young woman, wife of
coal miner, residing at Williamsburg,
gave birth to quadruplets on last Thurs
day evening. Since then the children
have all died, the last expiring at an ear
ly hour Saturday morning: The physi-
clan in attendance, DR.. Stottler, says
they were all perfectly-formed children,
and almost of the same size as all newly
born infants. This calls to mind the
case of Mrs W. B. Mabies, the wife of
a well-known New York merchant, who,
on July "a, 1858, had one child born to
her; on June 30, 1859, the lady present
ed her husband with twins; on May 26,
1860, twins again were the gifts; on
March 1, 1861, she gave birth to triplets,
and on Feb. ID, 1862, Mrs Mabies pre-
sented her husband with quadruplets,
thus bringing into this world no less
than twelve children in about four years. "

Although his clothes are torn.
saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for groan;
But how he laughed Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he speaks,
His laugh is something grand;
Its ripples overrun his cheeks,
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the day is done;
The school-room for a joke he takes;
His lessons are but fun.
Eo'matter how the day may go,
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth dozen boys know,
Who pout, and NOPE, and sigh.

Attention

If were boy again [ would school
myself into habit of attention oftener,
I would let nothing come between me
and the subject in hand I would re-
member that an expert ON the ice never
tries to skate in two directions at once.
One of our great mistakes, while we are
young, is that we do not attend strictly
to what we are about just then, at that
particular moment we do not bend our
energies close enough to what we are
doing or learning we wander into a
half-interest only, and so never acquire
fully what is needful for us to become
master Of The practice of being habit
ually attentive is one easily obtained if
we begin early enough. [ often hear
grown-up people say, 81 couldn't fix
my attention on the sermon, or book,
although I wished to do so" and the
reason is habit of attention was never
formed in youth. Let me tell you sad
instance of a neglected power of concen-
tration. A friend asked me once to
lend him an interesting book, something
that would enchain his attention, for he
said he was losing the power to read.
After a few days he brought back the
volume, saying it was no doubt a work
of great value and beauty, but that the
will to enjoy it had gone from him for
ever, for other matters would intrude
themselves on the page he was trying to
understand and enjoy, and rows of fig
ures constantly marshaled themselves on
the margin, adding themselves up on
the bottom of the leaf LANES Fields,
