Gently there has been no authentic por-
trait of this estimable lady, but search
ordered by the late Herr Hohl, head
partner in the house of Eisenstuck &
Co, resulted in the discovery of an ivory
carving long hidden in the Dresden
Museum. In this sculptured memorial
Barbara Uttmann appears sitting at
the lace pillow, and from this Sachse,
the historical painter of Dresden, has
sketched a portrait in crayons. This
original is now in possession of Herr
Hollis heirs, but from it doubtless
comes to the world at large a lovely en-
craving, where &" the inventess' sits
holding her pillow on her knee. She
is no longer young; matron's cap
adorned with bordering of richly-pat-
termed lace sets off the placid, serene
expression of the mature face-a face
so tenderly sweet, so truly womanly in
every aspect, that one perceives instan-

where were garnered holy thoughts,
and where dwelt in crowding compa-
MES outreachings for the welfare and
comfort of other women.-Hd9per'S Ba-

Dangers Of TOughened Glass.

Here is little incident, related by
Prof. Ricard, which recently occurred
in Bohemia, and which may give use
full hint to heads of families: "a
child's drinking-glass was bought one
day at Saas, aud during six months it
sustained its character of toughened
glass. But one evening in the seventh
month, after having been used for
drinking sugared water, it was placed,
with silver spoon in it, on large oak
table. Suddenly heard from my room
a violent explosion, like pistol-shot,
and metallic sound. | fastened in
and saw scattered all over the floor
needles and fragments of glass, and not
only the floor, but the bed, the table,
the curtains, etc, were covered with
them. The empty glass had burst with
out apparent cause, without the APP
proach of a light, and with a force so
extraordinary that all the inhabitants
of the house were frightened. Such an
explosion is doubtless caused by some
change in the extreme tension of the
fibres of hardened glass"

He came from the country seven
years ago, and is now a well-to-do
merchant. Last week he wrote to the
old folks telling them he had married
a lady with very fine voice-a 'mez-
zo-soprano of very extraordinary COM
pass" He received an answer from
the maternal side of the house, inform
ing him that his lamented aunt was af-
flicted with something of that sort dur
ing her life, but had always fonnd re-
lief in placing a mustard plaster on
the sole of each foot, and drinking a
pint of dandelion tea.
They were in the parlor together.
The light had gone out and they stood
at the window in the radiance of the
moon. He had his arm about her, and
was looking dreamily at the queen
of night. Softly he spoke: "Dar-
ling, L am thinking how happy we
will be in our home when we are
married. 1t shall be a pretty home,
and you shall be its dear little mistress.

Our Natural Resources.

The wheat crop this year is expected
to reach a total of 400,000,000 bushels,
and this is not rs great as it is expected
to be in coming years. The area
planted this year is larger than in any
previous year, but the yield is not in
proportion. To what the grain crop
maybe extended may be imagined from
the statement that for the past three
years it has been one-third larger than
for the three preceding years. There
fore, if it is 400,000,000 bushels this
year. and the yield is not in proportion
to the new ground planted, it is easy
enough to understand how it may be
increased in coming years. These facts
should be impressed on the people who
are wailing over the appearance of
pauper class in this country. If pau
per class is growing it is caused by the
stupidity of our legislators, and not be-
cause there is not room for all now here
or who may come for years. Pauper-
ism grows by the density of population;
here, then, is good living for whoever
will work tor it. The United States is,
and will ever be, an agricultural coun-
try, and the man who tills the soil is a
part of the backbone of the nation. 1t
is the duty, therefore, of Legislatures,
National and State, to develop the ma
tional resources. For the last few wears
the species of high craftsmanship re-
quired for such work has been painfully
lacking. Politics, and of the most par
tisan kind, have been made the main
object, especially of Congress. The
material questions that affect the yhoIa
country have been neglected in the mad
run for office and for spoils. 1t is to be
hoped that this falls election will put
men in office who will have some higher
thought than the defeat of political
opponent-N T. Commercial Adver-
tiSer.

How English Ships We're Built.

From the "Life of George Combe"
we find the following strange state
ment:
Prince Albert mentioned that gen
tleman had lately applied to him for
leave to dedicate a scientific treatise on
naval architecture to him TRANSLATED,
| think, he said), because :" it would be
the first in the English language"
Impossible" said the Prince.
Nevertheless true"
The Prince was incredulous, and
sent note to the Admiralty begging
them to send him the best treatise on
naval architecture. The answer came:
"No such book exists in the English
language"
He became curious to learn by what
rule they built their ships. They had
measurements which were practically
known, but in forming the curves on
which the ships sailing powers depend,
they were guided wholly by the eye
and hand!
-" How by the hand?n
"You may well ask that question. -
The Prince then placed the palm Of
HIS EitllNt on INC NlHCOW SnuJIel, ureW
it carefully along, and said:
"Thats the way they do. They
actually feel the curve by passing the
hand in that way over the planks as
they are placed on the skeleton ribs,
and they raise or depress, extend OIL
contract them, according to their est.
mate of the approach to an ideal mod
ell existing in the operators headn'
expressed surprise.
"Yes," said the Prince, " the Eng
lish boast of being a practical people,
but was there ever such an example of
it as this? The safety, glory, riches
of the country depend on their success
in ship-building, and their knowledge
of the art is wholly practical. No
wonder that they spoil many vessels. "
