Twenty years ago Chester established
a school in London dedicated to the
devotees of st. Nicholas, and he speedily
obtained many pupils. The most well
known and skilful pickpockets who have
paid the penalty of being caught, and
those who were clever enough to evade
the clutches of the myrmidons of the law,
have all been moulded according to the
Chcsterian method. And when it is
stated That in twenty years Chester has
been able to amass fortune of twenty
thousand pounds sterling, the great i'm.
portance and efficacy of his lessons will
be thoroughly appreciated. His pupils,
on leaving his institution, were formed
into bands of ten, under the guidance of
schoolmaster;" and it was under the
aegs Of this ever watchful guardian that
they overran the earth. Two-thirds of
the "profits" were faithfully and punct-
ually paid to the illustrious professor.
Chester demeaned himself but twice in
his career by working" personally; it
was at Paris during the two last Exhibi.
tions In 1878 he was arrested and con.
demned to six months Imprisonment
and he was, moreover, prohibited from
ever entering France again. He hal

We first visited the shaking rock. This
great curiosity, we thought, had been
thoroughly ventilated, but our guide had
discovered in it something new. By lift
ing at certain corner the large boulder
can be made to rock nearly foot instead
of few inches. From certain point
this stone closely resembles sea lion.
Near it can be traced some strange char.
acters cut in the rock, evidently, the
work Of race ante dating the Indians;
while at another place is carved the rude
figure of man which is said to have been
there when the first man reached this
county. By going to the cliff below you
see two large trees starting from the
ground, and thirty feet overhead they
come in contact with rock shelf, into
which half of their bodies are imbedded

There is no more doubt that drinking
ice water arrests digestion than there is
that refrigerator would arrest respira-
ton. 1t drives from the stomach its
natural heat, suspends the flow of gastric
juice, and shocks and weakens the deli
cate organs with which it comes in con-
tact. An able writer on human diseases
says: Habitual ice water drinkers are
usually very fabby about the region Of
the stomach. They complain that the
food lies heavy on that patient organ.
They taste their dinner for hours after it
is bolted. They cultivate the use Of
stimulants to aid digestion. If they are
intelligent they read upon food and what
the physiologist has to say about it-how
long it takes cabbage and pork, beef and
potatoes, and other meats and esculents
to go through the process of assimilation.
They roar at new bread, hot cakes, fried
meat, imagining these to have been the
cause OF their maladies. But the ice
water goes down all the same, and finally
friends are called in to take farewell
look at one whom mysterious Provi-
dence has called to cline where ice
water is not used. The number of i'm.
mortal beings who go hence to return no
more, on account Of the injudicious use OF
ice water, can hardly be estimated"

Don't grow old and rusty and cross,
afraid Of nonsense and fun. Tolerate
the follies and crudities Of youth. Gray
hairs and wrinkles you cannot escape,
but you need not grow old in feeling nm
less you choose. And so long as your
age is only on the outside you will win
confidence from the young, and find your
life all the brighter for contact with
theirs. But you have too many grave
thoughts, too many weighty anxieties
and duties, too much to do to make this
triAing possible, you say. The very
reason, my friend, why you should cul-
tivate fun, nonsense, ightness Of heart
because you need them so much, because
you are "weary with thinking" Then
do try to be young, even il you have to
be foolish in SO doing. One cannot be
wise all the time.

NEYnR TO BLAME.

Some people are never to be blamed
for anything, in their own opinion.
They are not the most agreeable people
in the world, for the simple reason that,
no matter what they do, they always
succeed in making you feel that You are
the sneak-thief after all. "That man, ="
said one of these folk, "has been scold-
ing me for an hour, and has told me at
least forty times that 1 stole 81 from
him, when the simple truth is l only
stole so cents. 1 don't want to be
blamed for what I don't do"

MAKING LUMBER fOUT OF oIAAWs
The versatile ingenuity of a 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 demand for lumber shall
prove vastly in excess of the supply, has
succeeded in devising substitute for
the product of the virgin or the culti-
waited soil. His plan is to use the frag-
lie vegetable, straw, and by peculiar
process to compress it into substance
as hard and indestructible as oak
lumber. II is claimed that this pro-
cess converts wheat straw into
timber, which is susceptible Of as fine
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut, at cost not in excess Of
the best clear pine. The straw is first
manufactured by the ordinary paper
mill process into straw board, and suf-
ficient number of sheets of the right
size are taken to make the required
timber. They are soaked and softened
in 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-
solidates them SO that when dry the
whole is hard stick. 1t is also claimed
that the process renders this wood sub
stitute impervious to water, and the
chemicals used are such as to make it
fire-proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far

cHryA as 4 MILITARY powER

1t is not customary to look upon the
Chinese empire, with its 300, 100000 Of
people, as at all formidable in war.
The CELEBRITY with which Great Britain
forced the use of opium upon that ma
ton gave us all very poor opinion Of
Celestial prowess. That was war Of
noise versus cold lead 1t was gongs
against guns. John Chinaman had no
conception OF the military ways Of John
Bull.
But that was several years ago, and
hardly had peace reigned at Hong Kong
before the prudent Chinese Government
set about getting ready for future con-
tingencies. A careful study was made
Of foreign civilization, not with view
to improvement, but simply of defense.
China had no more idea of becoming
Occidental than hunter has of becom-
ing wild beast Finding it necessary
to protect itself against powerful bar
barians, the Government determined to
learn all about war as carried on by
barbarians. Industriously pursuing this
course, China has supplied itself with a
very respectable navy-some twenty
gun-boats, manned by foreigners, and
any number of native men-of-war. The
soldiers are armed with the latest breech-
loading rifles, bought largely in this
| coilntrY.

A FORTUNE FoR TWENTY-FIVE
GENTS.

All the worn-out and mutilated legal
tender notes come to the treasury for
redemption. After new notes are issued
in their stead, the old notes are de-
stroyed by the process Of maceration.
This process Includes the introduction
of chemicals in the mass Of notes, which,
by the aid Of steam are reduced to a
pulp very much smaller in volume than
the original notes. This pulp is of o
gray-whitish color it has heretofore
been thrown away. An enterprising
young man IN this city has had an idea
ON this subject, however, and is work
ing il out. He has taken the pulp, and
is modelling it into different shapes.
When dried the pulp assumes light
consistent form. Dogs, cats, bells, and
all animals and everything else almost
are reproduced. Out Of the destruction
of 81, 600, 900 in notes, he modelled a
bullfrog of heroic size $4,000 goes to
make mouse; $4,000 into paper
weight, and 80 on through the list. He
sells these "pieces Of art" at 25 cents
each. One can, for that amount, pur-
chase at least what was once million
or more Of dollars in the currency Of tho
land. d.--iSavannah (Ga.l NeWs.

srARr11Na SURPRISE.

A startling surprise, after the fashion
Of the story of Ginevra, was experienced
by q party of Styrian wood-cutters in
the forest Of Drommling. They began
to fell a venerable oak, which they soon
discovered to be quite hollow. Being
half decayed, it speedily came to the
ground with crash, disclosing a skele-
ton in excellen preservation. Even the
boots, which came above the knees,
were almost perfect. BY its side was q
powder-horn, a porcelain pipe-bowl, and
a silver watch, on which was engraved
the name "H. Won Krackowitz, 1872.
The teeth we're perfect. It would seem
to be the skeleton of man between &c
and 40 years Of age. It is conlectured
that, while engaged in hunting, ne
climbed the tree for some purpose and
slipped incautiously into the hollow
trunk, from which there was no release
and he probably died Of starvation.
