From THE NOVEL OF TIE Furunx.-
There was q loud noise like the
report OF an overcharged cannon:
the bursted boiler sent the splintsrsd
iron and steaming vapor high in the
air. Marianne. the eng iueer's lovely
daughter, was carried with The de-
bris and ascended with frightful ve-
locity in the direction OF the clouds.
As she lew heavenward the employees
held their breath and closed their
eyes-the spectacle was fearful to
witness. But young John, the as
sistant, who had admired Marianne
from afar, was alive to the emer-
gency. Selling a dying-machine,
upon which he had just obtained .
patent that morning, he strapped il
to his broad. manly back. and,
spreading the wings Of the machine,
vowed that he would rescue the girl
OF his heart or die. On he few in
the direction his loved one had tax
en-. He reached her just as her red
head plunged through a cloud. It
was but the work Of q moment to
clasp her to bis bosom. "Savedr
came from the croud below, who had
been watching the scene through
telescopes" etc.

The HisroRY OF VELvET.-Velvet
was originally an Asiatic production,
introduced into Rome at the time
of the Emperors. 1t seems that the
ancient Greeks were not acquainted
with it. In the middle ages some
manufactures of velvet were estab-
lished at Constantinople and 10 some
other towns Of the Eastern Empire.
At a later time tie fabrication of
velvets prospered at Venice, at Genoa
and at other towns of Italy before
they were known il France. Two
Genoese imported this branch oil in
dustry into Lyons, where they estab-
lished a mandatory under the aus
pices Of Francis l. IN 1886. Velvet,
by the richness of its texture, at
once took the priority on the conh-
nent of all tissues. 1t became the
chief material Of the costumes OF the
middle classes, the ornament OF GER
emonials, and was employed TO set
of sumptuous apartments.

New WEATHER THEoaY.-The Rev.
Henry Roe, of Sherbmne, England,
writes to the London Nnses his opin-
ion that changes in The weather are
due to alternate waves Of dry and
wet periods of nearly equal length.
These periodic extend over three
years for each, and hs gives the fol-
lowing simple rule by which any one
can work out the several cycles of
years for himself: (1). When the
number of any particular year is even
and exactly divisible by three, that
year is the middle one of three wet
and cold summers. (2.) When the
number Of the year is odd and dvisi-
BILE by three, then that year is the
middle of a triad of hot and dry sum-
mers. Mr.. Roe does not pretend to
extend these rules to other places
outside of England, but he shows BY
observations extending over twenty
seven years that they coincide close
ly with the weather records in that
country.

The ancient jibe against the young

friend, have you got religion ?" Oh,

for nothing in the vide range of lit

standard great authors were voted

dious.
At last q silly, simpsring miss in
formed them that she had "the
sweetest book at home, and so in

She told them what it was; and,
as it happened not to be above the
comprehension of the majority, the
majority decided on having it.
1t was, in fact, nonsensical love-
tale, on which the members bravely
set themselves to work in earnest,
to improve their intellectual facul-
ties.
For the next six months the so.
ciety was duly regaled with pack
of trash incorrectly called literature.
So keenly were the love-scenes ap-
preciated that the one who read fire.
quently stopped while the youths
and maidens practiced in reality tho
tender passages from the novels.
They next started o paper-7Ae
Repository of Learning-to which
each member was obliged to contrib
ute. 1t was heartrending to read
the poems and sketches contained
therein.
| Many great empire has lad it's
downfall, and so had the Literary
Society. The patience of the people
Of Gadsville had reached q climax.
Their sons and daughters neglected
their duties, became untidy and
fslovenly, and thought of nothing
but acquiring superAuity of knowl-
edge and reading dog-eared novels.
The aggravated parents at last
met together. and appointed a COM
mittee of ten to wait upon the
Squire. The said committee re-
presented to him that they were suf-
fering from nuisance-a Literary
Society-which SO elevated their
children's jntellects that they could
not be brought down again to the
realities of life, and suggested that
he, as civil magistrate and guardian
of the peace, should abolish the said
nuisance.
The Squire did as he was re
quested. He placed his anathema
on the Literary Society. He decreed
that the serenity of Gadsville, and
the brains of its inhabitants, should
he left untortured by new-fengled
learning and intellectual improve
ments. The fat went forth. The
thing was done. Selah!
Miss Scraggles' Literary Society
being thus crushed out in it's bloom,
she started t. making pin-cushions
for the heather. This being noble
work of charity, which muddled no.
body's brain, she was encouraged to
go on with it. And thus the youths
and maidens of Gadsville were saved
from a doom which only some book
learned philosopher could have con-
templated with serenity.

PRISON DISCIPLINE. "A convict in
the Wisconsin State Prison refused
to go to his cell when ordered by
the Warden to do so. The Warden
held q watch in one hand and a pistol
in the other, and said: II will give
you three minutes to obey, and il
you don't shall shoot YOU" Tho
convict doggedly folded his arms
and stood still. Minute after min
ute passed, the Warden counting them
aloud. This was in the workshop.
and all the prisoners were spectators
OF the scene. When the three min.
utes had expired the Warden took
deliberate aim at the convict's heart
and said: "I1l give you two min
utes more, and I swear I'll hill YOU
then if you don't 60 to your celr."
A defiant curse was the only reply.
At the end of tho two minutes the
pistol was fred and the convict fell
dead. The officer is sustained by
the higher prison authorities, who
say that his course was perfectly
proper under the circumstances, but
the District Attorney Of the county
will try him under an Indictment for
murder.

under no other consideration. To-

held in the balance against the good
cause, and finally the man yielded.
Colt gave him an unusually solid
drink and then drew his check for
$500. The man started on run

and forgave himself his temporary
stupor, and has since to this day
been consistent temperance man.

UNsK1LLED WoMEN. incap-

lish woman's journal, and as things
are at present, they are q legacy
which has come down to Us q result
of the notion that women ought to
be always in a dependent position.
We think and hope that that notion
is passing away. Women OF the
poorest classes have never had it;
they have known always that they
must know how to earn their bread.
Women of the highest classes are
