The Glass SIipper.

Adieu to the illusions of childhood
Now we are told that the "glass slipper"
in cinderella" of which from our
youth upward we never questioned the
authenticity, though well aware that no
one who was not protege of fairies
would think of dancing in such an arti-
Gle, was not part of the original story,
but has been due to misunderstand-
ing of word used in the French YER
sion Of the tale. The slipper in ques-
ton was originally a slipper trimmed
with particular kind of rare fur, called
in French UGiT-the fur of a creature
of the weasel kind. But this fur not
being known to ordinary French story
tellers, they spoke of paatoeJ5e de
UeTre-a glass slipper-by sort Of IN
conscious pun. Certainly the newreading
is far more creditable to the sagacity OF
Ciuderella's godmother, as a purveyor
of comfortable clothes; for, whatever
magic power the glass slippers might
have had of surviving dance, it is i'm
possible that they could have been com

Artificial Lumber.

The versatile ingenuity of Western
inventor, who doubtless foresees the
time in the far-distant future when the
forest shall cease to clothe the hills and
dales, and the demands for lumber
shall prove vastly in excess of the sup
ply, has succeeded in devising sub
stitute for the natural product of virgin
or the cultivated soil. His plan is to
use that fragile vegetable, straw, and
by a peculiar process to compress it
into a substance as hard and indestructi-
BILE as oak lumber. It is claimed that
this process converts wheat-straw into
timber which is susceptible of as fine a
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut, at a cost not in excess of
that of the best clear pine. The straw
is first manufactured by the ordinary
paper-mill process into strawboard, and
sufficient number of sheets of this of
the right size are taken to make the re-
CURED timber. They are soaked and
softened in a chemical solution, which
is, of course, the inventors secret. After
the fiber of the pasteboard is sufficiently
saturated, the pile of sheets is pressed
between a series of rollers which con-
soidate them so that when dry the
whole is a hard stick. It is claimed
that the process renders this wood
substitute impervious to water, and the
chemicals used are such as to make it
F,re-proof But the sanguine inventor
as only made samples thus far.

Tools Great Men Work With.

Tt is not tools that make the work
man, but the trained skill and perse-
verance of the man himself. Indeed,
it is proverbial that the bad workman
never yet had good tool. Some one
asked Opie by what wonderful process
he mixed his colors. " mix them with
my brains, SIR" was his reply. 1t is the
same with every workman who would
excel Ferguson made marvellous
things-such as his wooden clock, that
accurately measured the hours by
means of common penknife, tool in
everybody's hand; but then everybody
is not Ferguson. A pan of water and
two thermometers were the tools by
which Or. Black discovered latent heat !;
and prism, a lens and sheet of paste
board enabled Newton to unfold the
composition of light and the origin of
color.
An eminent foreign savant once called
upon DR.. Woollaston, and requested to
be shown over his laboratories, in which
science has been enriched by SO many
important discoveries, when the doctor
took him in study, and pointing to an
old tea tray, containing few watch
glasses, test papers, small balance, and
q blow-pipe, said There IS all the

Stothard learned the art of combin-
ing colors by closely studying butter
flies wings; he would often say that no
one knew what he owed to these tiny
insects. A blunt stick and a barn-door
served Wilkie in lieu of pencil and can
vas. Bewick first practiced drawing on
the cottage walls Of his native village,
which he covered with his sketches in
chalk, and Benjamin West made his
first brushes out of the cats tail.
Ferguson laid himself down in the
fields at night in blanket, and made a
map of the heavenly bodies, by means
of thread with small beads on it,
stretched between his eyes and the
stars. Franklin first robbed the thun-
der-cloud of it's lightning by means of
a kite made with two cross sticks and a
silk handkerchief.
Watt made his first model of the con-
densing steam engine out of an old
anatomist's syringe, used to inject the
arteries previous to dissection. Gull

the first meeting was crowded, Urge
number of men IN public Life coming to

A noted Oxford speaker opened the
discussion. He attempted SO high a
fight that he failed utterly, and sat
down with extreme chagrin. Others
followed with similar aims, only to fail
in the same way. Not single speaker
was successful. The audience went
away Disguised, and the young men
were so mortified that second meeting
was never attempted.
Had they been content to speak in a
natural way they might have formed
very successful society. They were
overburdened with the weight OF their

Ancient Expresses.

A well-known means of sending news
,apidly, in a country with such bad
Dads as Greece, was by trained run
lers; thus we are told that Phidippides,
! professional courier, ran from Athens
o Sparta to beg for aid, just before
Marathon, arriving at the latter city at
he end of the second day; and this was
y distance of $50 miles. The constant
gmnastic training in which Greek, and
specially Spartan, soldiers kept them
elves, enabled whole armies to make
cry rapid forced marches. In the
resent instance the Spartan army,
dough slow to start, yet when it did
march performed the distance in three
avs. So the old Chasseurs de Vim
ennes and picked light troops of the
'rench army were trained to make swift
marches by running one on either side

The Rise of StOck-JObbing.

their rise in the end of the seventeenth
century, and, like Pallas, they seem to
have sprung forth full-grown from the
brain Of their progenitors. The last
few wears Of that century were indeed
wears to be much remembered in the
financial history of this country. In
1892 the loan of 100000 laid the first
foundation of the national debt. In
1894 the first charter was granted to
the Bank of England. The currency of
the country was reformed in 1894, and
to meet the deficiency of coin the first
Exchequer bill was issued in 1896 The
charter of the old East India Company
was renewed in 1893; the charter to the
new East India Company was granted
in 1898. The abortive scheme of the
Land Bank was started in 1897; the i'll
starred Darien expedition was planned
in 1898. Together with these greater
ventures came the shoal of smaller fry
which never fail to follow in the wake
of any great speculative movement. In
1892, England, says Macaulay, Witnessed
for the first time those phenomena with
which experience has made us familiar.
Then comes a list of the companies

picturesqueness of detail in which

strange one-not so strange, perhaps,
as the list of 1920, scarcely stranger
than some of the schemes which In the

the London Stock Exchange. In 1892
there was a Copper Company which
proposed to explore the mines CT En-

would prove not less valuable than
