hadn't credited him with $4,000,
commenced in the law office OF the
late Isaac Toucey, who understood that
he WAS to have Q legal instruction to
repay his services. After . few years
study he set up for himself, when the
cold -blooded Toucey presented him with
q bill Of 500 for instruction. Case
paid thu bill, and served quid pro quo

Of every fire built, every time the office

The Temple of Diana.

This was built, as Pliny says, on C
soft foundation to guard against the
shocks of earthquakes. The founda-
ton, therefore, was laid in a swamp,
wood and charcoal were interposed to
absorb the wet, and the arches form a
subterranean labyrinth, in which water
stagnates, all of which Is so at the pres
ent day. The superstructure bears all
the evidences of an edifce which was
destroyed eight times, and took $50
years in building and rebuilding. 1t
now consists of several walls of immense
blocks of marble, the fronts of which
are perforated with small cavities, into
which were sunk the shanks of the
brass and silver plates, with which the
walls were faced. In several places
where the walls have fallen, they have
exposed cornices and holdings of
former edifce, against which the new
walls had been built up. Some of the
vast porphyry pillars which formed the
front portico still lie PROSTATE before it;
but others were brought by Constan
tine to his new city of Constantinople.
The heather temple was dilapidated to
build the Christian church of st. So
phia, in which these pillars are again
become the great support of an anti
Christian edifce. But the most inter
esting circumstance of the building to
me is the great illustration it gives to
the acts of the apostles. Here is the
place where st. Paul excited the COM
motion among the silver and brass
smiths who worked for the temple; and
over the way was the theater, into
which the people rushed, carrying with
them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's
companions. Hence they had full
view of the magnificent front of the
temple, which they pointed out as that
which all Asia worshipeth" and in
their enthusiasm they cried out, Great
is Diana of the Ephesiansl" to whom
such temple belonged.

Visit to a Pin Factory.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post thus describes the mys-
teries of pin-making:
"The pin machine is one of the clos
estapproache thatmechanicsha have made
to the dexetrity of the human hand.
A small machine, about the height and
size of lady's sewing machine, only
stronger, stands before you. On the
back side light belt descends from the
long shaft at the ceiling, that drives all
the machines, ranged in rows on the
floor. On the left side of our machine
hangs on a peg small reel OF wire that
has been Strengthened by running
through a compound system of small
rollers.
"This wire descends, and the end of
it enters the machine. 1t pulls it in
and bites it off by inches, necessarily,
140 bites to minute. Just as it seizes
each bite, little hammer, with con-
cave face, hits the end of the wire three
taps, and 'upsets it to head, while it
grips it in countersunk hole between
its teeth. With an outward thrust of
its tongue, it then lays the pin sideways
in little groove across the rim of q
small wheel that slowly revolves just
under its nose. BY the external pressure
of stationary hoop, these pins roll in
their places, as they are carried under
two series of small files, three in each.
These files grow finer toward the end
of the series. They lie at a slight in
clination on the points of the pins, and
hxro of 1aunrc or,1 rro
are made to play like lightning Thus
the pins are pointed and dropped in a
little shower into box.
"Twenty eight pounds of pins is a
days work for one of these jerking
little automatons. Forty machines on
this floor make $50 pounds of pins daily.
These are then polished. Two very
intelligent machines reject every crook
ed pin, even the slightest irregularity
of form being detected.
Another automaton asserts half a
dozen lengths in as many different
boxes, all at once and unerringly, when
careless operator has mixed the con-
tents of the boxes from various ma
chimes. Lastly, perfect genius of a
machine hangs the pin by the head, in
an inclined platform, through as many
slots as there are pins in row on the
papers. These slots converge into the
exact space spanning the length of a
row. Under them runs the strip of pin
paper. A hand-ike part of the ma
chine catches one pin from each of the
slots as it falls, and by one movement
sticks them all through two corrugated
ridges in the paper, from which they
are to be picked by taper fingers in
boudoirs, and all sorts of human fingers
in all sorts of human circumstances
Thus you have its genesis:

In the fragrant bright June morning, Rossmond
the queen of girls
Down the marble doorsteps loiters, radiant with
her sunny curls;
Der the greepswsrd, through the garden passes 20
the rivers brink,
Throws away an old bouquet, and wonders II twill
float or sink
Then returning through the garden, round and
round the lawn she goes,
Singing she cuts fresh roses-she herself her
worlds fair rose;
In her dainty morning robe, and straw hat shading
Picturesque in form and festure, lovely in her
youth and grace
In her hand little dagger. sharp and glittering
Riding hearts of thony bushes, cutting roses ono
by one;
Pink and white and blood-red crimson, some in
bud and some full blown
There through lawn and grove and garden sings
she TO herself alone;
Softly sings in broken snstches some old songs of
Spain or France,
As he holds her roses of at full arms-length with
side-long glance.
Shifting groups of forms and colors, Cor apsinters
eye hath she,
And ali beauty pleaseh her, so srtstlike and fan
cy-tree.
Now she enters her boudoir and sets her in a
vase:
There for seven days and nights their bloom and
fragrance fill the place.
When the petals sroop and fade she'll bear them u
the rivers brink,
Singing, throw them on the waves, and wonder IL
they'll float or sink.
viii she bear away tonight bunch Of lovers rose

man." says Mr.. Mill, "triumphs over his
foot; the femininity of woman descends
to meet her foot. It is another illus
tration of the fact that man is made to
rule and woman to obey"
OF course, Prof. Huxley has some
thing to say about the matter, but he
cannot be said to add to his reputation
by the theory which he offers in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Darwin's theory. Prof
Huxley maintains that the exigencies
of feminine anatomy are such that it is
physically impossible for woman to as
sumo the position which man assumes
who takes off his shoes while sitting on
q chair. II this is SO, will that learned
gentleman please tell us what woman
does with one of her feet when she sits
down on sofa? And, if she can SO
completely dispose of one foot when
sitting on sofa, could she not with
ease dispose of 1T in very nearly nmi-
lar way when sitting on cha r? Prof.
Huxley has evidently jumped to a con-
clusion without waiting to collect the
necessary data. He may be extremely
learned in the anatomy of extinct ami
uldlS, Dub hO LIQUID w u COuIEC
of demonstrations at the opera boufe
for season and to correct his ideas as
to feminine anatomy.
Equally inadmissible is the explana-
ton given by Chinese scientific per-
son, who pretends that the weight of
the feminine shoeis such that it cannot
be readily raised to the height of a
chair, and that it is, therefore, easier for
the wearer to sit down on level with
it. He had better not publish this
theory in Chicago, unless he limits its
application exclusively to the women of
st. Louis. 1t would be better for that
scientific person to let his hair grow
long, and to then go and visit
the Utes, then to remain within
reach of the women of Chicago
after thus referring to the pre-
tended weight of their shoes. As for
the theory, it is, of course, utterly un-
tenable, and probably has not one single
fact to support it. Indeed, it is only
mentioned here in order that it may be
hurled back with scorn, and nailed to
the counter as though it were mere
political speech.
When the ablest scientific authorities
thus differ, what are we to believe?
Probably the best thing we can do is to
take the broad, general ground that the
whole discussion proceeds upon mis-
take, and that how woman takes off her
shoes is something which, in the ma
ture Of things, Mr.. Darwin, Mr.. Mill,
and Prof. Huxley have no means, and
do not deserve to have any means, of
ascertaining.

How a Dog Fooled His Master.

A newspaper that is printed in the
town of Palmyra, Wis, the Enterprise,
tells story about dog which it says
is true, every word of it. The dog,
whose name is Tiger, belongs to a sur
veyor, now at work for the United
States Government in that part of the
country. One day, not long ago, the
surveyor saw that Tiger was asleep near
the edge of thicket, and he thought
he might have some fun with him. So
the surveyor shouted, Catch him,
Tiger; at him, old dogl" and jumped
into the thicket, as if deer, or at least
a rabbit, had been seen. Tiger, of
course, went bounding and barking in,
but very soon returned with his tail be-
tween his legs, seeing that trick had
been played upon him. Now comes the
good part of the story. Tiger made be-
ieve that he was going to sleep again,
In about three hours he all at once
sprung up, set his ears and eyes in the
direction of the thicket, gave loud
bark and leaped forward. The surveyor
followed, thinking that Tiger had found
some game. When Tiger saw his mas
ter parting the bushes curiously he
gave a peculiar "Ah-wooh," and went
back to his sleeping place, wagging his
tail and satisfied that he had paid the
surveyor back for fooling him.

Opposition to Early Railroads.

When the Central Railroad was in its
infancy, the company experienced
great trouble with certain landowners,
whose property had been taken by APP
praisal, at or near Tribes Hill 1t was
with great difficulty that trains could
pass, although a vigilant watch was
kept up. Men were stationed with
hand-car just east of the curve leading
into Tribes Hill from the east, and,
when they heard the evening train
coming west, they would put IN the
hand-car just as near ahead of the train
as they dared, and run ahead of the
train into the station; but between the
hand-car and the train the track would
be literally strewn with stones, rails,
ahd all manner of distinctions, which
were thrown down from the heights
above, so that the train would have to
stop to clear the track leach train car
ried men for that purpose), and then
proceed at snails pace into the station.
Then again the tracks would be piled
with huge heaps of straw, and the en-
gineer would stop and lind nothing but
straw. 1t was usually thought that the
straw business was only a scare, but
about the first time he attempted to run
through without stopping he found
huge bowlder in the center. Thus mat
tiers went on from bad to worse; an at
tempt was made TO burn one of the
company's bridges near this village.
This was 80 highly criminal, aud it was
made so hot for some persons, that hos
tihties ceased. Upon one occasion,
George Cox, who, with his brothers,
Tom and Maxwell, were well known up
and down the valley as locomotive en-
gineers, was watching the track near
Tribes Hill with shot gun, with in
structions to shoot the first man he saw
placing any distractions on the track.
1t was quite dark, and at short dis
lance from him he saw two men carry
something large and heavy and place it
on the track. His first impulse was to
shoot, and he hauled up, but he hated
to take human life, and thought he
would steal upon them and see who
they were. He did SO, and found that
they were two travellers who had come
from the canal with their chest to take
the train, and, being tired, had set it
down to rest..-Amsterdanl IN. ~

A Chinese Hotel.

Hotels vary in China, and one or two
In Manchuria had spacious dignity
about them. and rooms that were bright
and fairly kept; and some are worse
than that we entered now, for we we're
on high road where foreigners are be-
coming frequent. At the upper end
there was small building for superior
guests. 1t was divided into three COM
partments, with earthen floors; the eat
ing den had broken table and broken
chair; the other two were for sleeping,
and lamp cast a dim light into the
darkness tiny wick that foated in a
sea of oil in an iron saucer crusted with
the dirt of centuries. A meal under
such circumstances was not exhilarating.
The beef we had carried with us was so
manipulated in the cooking that it
looked exactly like dish of caterpillars;
there was eggplant stewed in pork
broth-but pigs and dogs are the scav
engers of China; there was seasoning
of sea-slugs Cat three skillings pound
and of other condiments that were
spread at an open window in reach of
the cooks brawny arm there were mess
es in bowls, balls of soft cakes like
putty from glaciers shop, and there
was musty rice. The trusty Lii changed
the uneaten courses with evident con-
Germ, and at last carried in triumph hot
water for the tea, but against the bowls
which he suggested for tea-cups lip,
nose and stomach revolted, and we with
drew to bed, cold and supperless, like
naughty children. A mattress was
stretched upon the hollow brick coun-
ter which serves as bedstead, and under
meath which we forbade the usual fire,
afraid of what the heat might bring
forth. We shivered through the early
hours of the night with our feet to the
bare, repulsive wall, and our head to the
passage. In the dull light it seemed as
II hideous things crept along the ceiling,
shining things rested on the walls, and
crawling things gnawed among tine
paper and straw on the floor; fingers
were thrust through the paper panes of
the little lattice window, and probably
eyes peeped in, and the rush of chill air
was welcome because it was pure; and,
as we dozed and watched, the mules
munched outside, and the porters talked,
and the querulous song of some gayer
spirit rose above the other voices.
There was a patter of little feet, a
squeak, rat, more rats. "They some
times fall down through the thin
ceiling" friend had said. We could
stand it no longer. The HAL of 10000
Felicities" had become to us "Tem-
pie of Horrors" and in the third watch
of the night we had taken to the road
once more, and saw, below the frosty
stars, the lamps of other carts as they
snarkled over the nlain.-Gnod Words

Seeing the Circulation Of the Blood.

DR.. @. Huter, German savant of
Greifswald, devised a simple ar
rangement which demonstrates the cir
culation of the blood in the human
body by making it visible. The pa
TENTS head being fixed in frame, on
which is continuance for supporting a
microscope and lamp, his lower lip is
drawn out and fixed on the stage of the
microscope by means of clips, the inner
surface being uppermost, and having
strong light thrown upon it by con-
denser. When the preparations are
completed all the observer has to do is
to bring the microscope to bear on the
surface of the lip, using low-power
objective, and focusing small super
fetal vessel. At once he sees the end
less procession of the blood corpuscles
through the minute capillaries, the col
orless ones appearing like white specks
dotting the red stream. DR.. Huter as
sered that from taking careful note Of
variations in the blood flow and changes
in the corpuscles he had derived great
advantage in the treatment of disease.
