moulded lions head bearing the name
of an Egyptian King of the eleventh dy.
nasty, in the Slade collection at the Brit
ish Museum. That is to say, at period
which may be moderately placed ae more
than two thousand years B. G., glass was
not only made, but made with skill
which shows that the art was nothing
new. The invention of glazing pottery
with film Of glass is 30 old that among
the fragments which bear inscriptions
of the early Egyptian monarchy are
beads possibly of the first dynasty. OF
the latter class there are numerous ex-
amples such as the bead found at Thebee,
which has the name Of Queen Hataso OF
Hashep, of the eighteenth dynasty. Oh
the same perisd are vases and goblete
and many fragments. 1t can not be
doubted that the story prepared by
Pliny, which assigns the credit of the
invention to the Phenicans, is so far
true that these adventurous merchants
brought specimens from other countries
to Egypt. DR.. Schliemann found disks
of glass in the excavation at Mycen@
though Homer does not mention it as a
substance known to him. That the mod
ern art of the glass. blower was known
long before is certain from presentations
among the pictures on the walls of 8
tomb at Benni Hassan, Of the twelfth
Egyptian dynasty; but much Older
picture, which probably represented the
same manufacture, is among the hal
obliterated scenes in a chamber Of the
tomb of Thy, at Sakkara, and dates from
the time of the fifth dynasty, time sc
remote that it is not possible, in spite o.
the assiduous researches of many Egyp
tologers to give it a date in years.-Sat

hissed off the stage at Vienna by the
friends of her rival, Amelia Steininger,
who had already began to decline thro'

one day Madame Sontag, in her glory
was riding through the reefs of Berlin,
when she saw a little child leading q
blind woman, and she said: "Come
here, my little child, come here. Who
is that you are leading by the handP"
And the child said: "Tnat's my mother,
Amelia Steininger. She used to be a
great singer, but she lost her voice; and
she cried so much about 1t she lost her
eyesight." "Give nay love to her." said
Madame Sontag, "and tell her an old &C.
uaintance will call on her this after

assemblage gathered at benefit for that
poor blind woman; and it was said Mad
anne Sontag sang that night as she had
never sung before. And she took skill

sight to the poor blind woman. Until
the day of Amelia Steininger's death did
Madame Sontag care for her and her
daughter. That was what the queen Of

hearer, a more thrilling story tonight
Blind, poor and lost, thou who, when
the world and Christ were rivals for thy

Mr., s. Sanborn, of Medford, Mass,
expressed his desire that his remains
should be preserved in the Museum Of
Anatomy of Harvard, after having been
dealt with in the most scientific and
sklllful manner known to the anatomical

He further requested that his skin
should be converted into two drum.

tinguished friend and patriotic fellow
citizen, Warren Simpson, drummer OF
Cohasset. on condition that he should,

The reader has often heard, doubtless,
of woman being worth her weight in

A New Yorker, who died during the
present year, is said to have left the fol
lowing testamentary directions:
III .bequeath all my fortune to my
nephews and nieCes, seven in number.
"They are to share it equally, and on
no account to go to law about it, on pain
of forfeiting their respective shares.
~ own seventy.one pairs of trousers,
and 1 strictly enjoin my executors to
hold a public sale at which these shall
be sold to the highest bidder, and pro.
ceeds distributed to the poor of the city,
81 desire that these garments shall in
no way be examined or meddled with,
but be disposed of as they are found at
the time of my death and no one pur.
chaser is to buy more than one pair"
AS the testator had always been more
or less eccentric in his ways, no one was
much surprised at these singular clauses,
which we're religiously observed. The
sale was held, and the seventy. one pairs
of trousers were sold to seventy.o one diff
ferent purchasers, One of these, in ex
amining the pockets, discovered in the
fob packet of some sort, closely sewn
up. He lost no time in cutting the
thread, and was not little surprised to
find bundle of bank notes representing
thousand dollars. The news soon
spread, and each of the others found
bimself possessed of similar amount.

find redress in law, this resource being
