which makes itself ridiculous. wit
messed a case not long since, and heard
a reproof administered that was one of
the hardest hits ever saw given.
Mrs. Glltterly-we will call her--had
been married four or five years, and
during that time had resided in the city,
where she had become very fashionable
and Notwithstanding of the Flora
McFlimsey order. She was on a visit to
her old friends in the town of her nativ-
ity, and was spending the evening with
Mrs. Goodhue, who had given quite
party in her honor.
At the well-ordered tea-table-s supper
table Mrs G. always called it--a goodly
company were assembled, and the girl
the girl who worked in the kitchen -
with neighbor's daughter who had
been employed for the occasion, sat
down to the meal with the rest.
Mrs. Glitterly beheld, and was amaz-
ed. Later in the evening, when the
Kitchen had all been done, and affairs in
in the big buttery attended to, the hired
girl came in, dressed in a new calico and
sat-herself to work and social enjoy
ment. She was bright-faced, pretty
girl and knew how to behave.
This seemed too much for Mrs Gilt
terly, and when she saw that the hired
help were really admitted TO a party
given especially in her honor, her pride
rebelled. Turning to her hostess, she
said, in tone loud enough to be heard
over the room:
My dear Mrs. Goodhue, how can
you bear to allow your servants to
stand on social equality with your
self think servants should be taught
to know their places"
Really, Betsy, Mrs. Glitterly had
fashioned her Christian name into Liz

tinctness and kindly franknees, c.

custom. 1 always did it. You remem-
Der when you worked for me in the
kitchen. always treated you 'ust--"
A sharp cry of alarm from Mrs. Liz
zie Glitterly arrested the good woman's
speech. 1t seemed as though the at
moshpere of the room suddenly became
sitting. She rose and went to the win
dow, where she could get a breath of
fresh air, and where she could conceal
the flaming of her cheeks, and which
rouge and peal-paint could not hide.

Mysteries of a Lump of Coal.

For years no one supposed that lump
of soft coal, dug froEl its mine or bed in
the earth, possessed any other quality
than being combustible, or was valua-
BILE for any other purpose than that of
fuel. 1t was next found that it would
afford gas which was combustible.
Chemical analysis proved it to be made
of hydrogen. En- process of time me-
chanical and chemical ingenuity devils
ed a mode of manufacturing this gas,
and applying it to the lighting of build
ings and cities on a large scale. In
doing this, other products of distillation
were developed, until, step by step, the
following ingredients for materials are
extracted from it: 1. An excellent oil to
supply lighthouses, equal to the best
sperm oil, at lower cost. 2. Benzole-a
light sort of ethereal fluid, which evap-
crates easily, and, combined with vapor
or moist air, is used for the purpose of
portable gas lamps, SO called. 8. Naph-
tha-a heavy fluid, useful to dissolve
gutta percha, India rubber, etc. 4. An
excellent oil for lubricating purposes.
5, Asphaltum, which is black, solid
substance, used in making varnishes,
covering roofs, and covering over vaults.
6, Paraffine-a white, crystalline sub
stance, resembling white wax, which
can be made into beautiful wax candles;
it melts at temperature of ITO degrees,
and affords an excallpnt LIGHT III thaae

A Curious Theory.

1t has for long time been an enigma
to the ornithologist how certain species
of small singing birds, which spend the
winter in Southern or Western Europe,
ever succeeded in crossing the Mediter-
ranean, as many of them are not able to
fly one quarter of mile without resting.
The Bedouins of Northern Africa say
that they travel on the backs of larger
birds, Willing away the dreary hours of
the sea voyage by their song, and Be-
douin poetry swarms with illusions to
this charming picture of the songless
stork carrying on its powerful back q
cluster of small songsters across the sea.
And, singularly enough, the peasants of
Southern and Western Europe say ex-
actly the same, Every European coun-
try has thousands Of stories about the
splendid gifts which the stork brings
along from the Nile, and among these
gifts are always mentioned as the first
babies and singing-birds. But in spite
of this remarkable unanimity in the
lower spheres, none has ever dreamed
of finding fact at the bottom of these
tales until lately, one great ornitholo-
gist after the other-Hengliss, Both,
Hedenfiurg, etc. declares himself will
ing to accept the explanation nor have
traces of positive proof been altogether
lacking.

EVER sinca Decoration Day it has been
going the rounds of the newspapers that ex-
Gov. Chamberlain in his address at Lewis
ton used these word: ''God only knows
whether the Rebellion was right or wrong"
or (which cause was right" Seeing this
sentence in the Bangor Wing, and some
severe structures upon the sentiment it ex-
pressed, Gov. Chamberlain has written
letter to that paper in which he says:
+ never made any such statement as that
attributed to me, viz: ''that God only knows
whether the Rebellion was right or wrong" OF
which cause was right" Nothing [ said could
possibly be so construed and l consider this
charge so gross in its perversion that | must
protest against it, No one who heard me- or
who even reads the full report of what L said
could fail to see that the reyerSe of what is
charged was the exact point of the passage
referred to. / was speaking of epitaphs and L
took the one the Virginia father put above the
names of his two sons, one of whom fell for the
stars and stripes and one for the Lost Cause,
"God only knows which of the boys was right y
/ took that as text to illustrate the truth that
right motives are not sufficient to make q
right cdUSe. The best OF men are sometimes
enlisted in the worst of causes, and you know
very well that men sometimes serve in the
best of causes from the worst of motives Now
my point was that while God alone can Judge
of individual motives, looking, as man cannot
into the heart, and he alone can judge of
these two boys, yet the right cause and the
rrOng cause were as far apart as light and
darkness, and, as L said, "never can stand in
equal honor before God or man-never to the
end of time"
was addressing body of men who did not
need to be told which cause was right, and
were far above the thought of asking me to
tell them by name which cause L thought was
right, after all that they and l had suffered
and were suffering for the deliverance of this
country. / could not so insult the intelligence
of my comrades, nor feel that all my long SER
vices and repeated utterances had been so in
vain, as to permit me to add the explanation
that by the right cause l meant the Union
cause so dear to us all, and whose victory we
were commemorating in the victorious deaths
of our fallen comrades.

Relic Hunters Deceived.

Messrs. Patrick and Simpson, the London
auctioneers, have announced for sale "the origi-
nal anvil and hammer Of Powell the harmoni-
blacksmith OF Whitchurch, from which
Handel composed his celebrated melody named
after him" a correspondent, writing to the
Times, says "the relics of Handel advertised
have no association with the mighty master,
except those which exist in the ,imaginations
of the deluded," and gives the following inter-
esting information concerning the well-known
air and variations "The famous air in No 5
of the Suites de Pieces pour le Clavecin was
originally christened The Harmonious Black
smith by Lintott, music publisher at Ba.h h,
who, on being asked why he so called his edi-
ton of the music, replied that his father was
blacksmith and that it was one of his favorite
tunes. In 1920, 100 years after the piece was
first published, a newspaper writer of the time
concocted the tale of the blacksmith's shop,
and Mr. Richard Clarke was deceived by the
fiction. Mr.. Clarke went to Edgware, found
out the descendant of Powell, the blacksmith
whose shop was near Canons Park, bought the
anvil and satisfied himself that he had verified
the newspaper writer's account of an incident
l. in Handels life. A more absurd delusion
never existed. As Scholcher, Handel's biog-
rapher saws the Harmonious Blacksmith
has been published a thousand times under
that title but Handel himself never called it
so: the name is modern The air is found in
a collection of French songs printed by one
Christopher Ballard in 1865. 1t is not likely
an English blacksmith ever heard it and still
less probable that Handel, with his love of
fnery and dignifed manners, would have
adopted an air heard under the circumstances
