BITS OF IMPORTATION.

THE first negro slaves in the English
colonies of North America were brought
to Virginia In Dutch vessel of war In
1920.
PHOTOGRAPHS were first introduced
into the United States by NJ Gourard,
in 1889. Paper photographs were first
made here in 1851, but little was done in
the art until 1854
SOME French nuns of exquisite beauty
and exemplary piety invented hair-pow-
der. Out OF excess Of prudence they
wished to disguise themselves as grand
mothers, and for that purpose scattered
perfumed starch on their hair. They
looked so charming that the women who
were not Guns accepted the hint, and SO
powder came into fashion.

pressions taken with great care under
the supervision of the artist himself be-
fore the regular edition is printed. They
are always Oh the best of paper and ara
more perfect than those printed suisse
ouently from the same plates. AS but
very few are ever struck off from the
same plate they are highly priced and
command large prices.
THANKsaIvING is purely a Yankee
notion, and dates back to the earliest
days Of the Plymouth colony. The sum
mer OF 1888 was one of peculiar trial to
the infant colony, owing to long-con-
tinued drought, and q day of humiliation
and prayer was appointed. In answer to
the petitions of the faithful came album
dant rains, and thus We're saved the crops
and the people. In grateful acknowledge
ment to God the first American thanks
giving was devoutly celebrated at the
hearthstone Of every heart. The second
thanksgiving was observed In 1880; the
third In 1861 the fourth In 1854 then
1876, 1850, 1886, and every alternate
year until 1890, when the festival was
made public, and annually observed by
the colonies. Washington issued the
first Presidential proclamation for
Thanksgiving day, Jan l, 1875.
THE Christian Union gives the follow
ing rs the origin of the expression
'three cheers and tiger" In 1892
the Boston Light Infantry visited Salem,
and while encamped in Washington
Square INDUCED in some camp sports.
Said one to another who had become a
little too rough, ooh, you tigerI" I'M
mediately it became a catch-word. On
the way home a comicai genius IN the
CORPS sang it to Scotch air. The word
''fger" induced them to initiate the &C
tons and stgrowl" of the animal, and the
latter became superlative at the end Of
any demonstration or cheering. Upon
their visit to New York (Which, by the
way, was the first instance of visiting
regiments, between States, 1926 their
three cheers and @tiger" took the
city by storm and has been popular ever
since.

An Exciting Adventure,

We were sailing down the Neckar on
raft. The sky became overcast, and the
Captain came aft looking uneasy. He
cast his eye aloft, then shook his head,
and said it was coming on to blow. My
party wanted to land. I wanted to go
on. The Captain said we ought to short
en- sail, anyway, out of common pru-
dence. Consequently, the larboard
watch was ordered to lay in his pole. Il
grew quite dark now, and the wind be-
gan to rise. It walled through the sway
ing branches Of the trees, and swept our
decks in fitful gusts. Things were tax
ing on an ugly look. The Captain shout
ed to the steersman on the forward log,
CLOVIS she heading?"
The answer came faint and hoarse
from far forward, "Nor'- east-and- by-nor'-
east-by-east, half-east, sir"
''Let her go off a point?"
cave, aye. sir p
"What water have you got?"
''Shoal, sir. Two foot large On the
starboard, two and half scant on the
larboardl''s
''Let her go Off another point!"
''Aye, aye, sir p
Forward, men, all Of you! Lively,
nowl Stand by to crowd her round the
weather conner /"
'tAye, aye, sir =
Then followed wild running, tramp
ling and hoarse shouting but the forms
OF the men were soon lost in the dark
ness, and the sounds were distorted and
confused by the roaring Of the wind
through the single bundles. By this
time the sea was running inches high,
and threatening every moment to ingulf
the frail bark. Now came the mate
hurrying aft, and said, close to the
Captains ear, in q low, agitated voice :
prepare for the worst, sir we have
sprung leak"
" Heavens where?"
Right aft the second row of logs"
Nothing but miracle can save US !!
Don't let the men know, or there Will be
a panic and mutinyl Lay her inshore,
and stand by to jump with the stern
line the moment she touches. Gentle
men, L must look to you to second my
endeavors in this hour of peril. You
have hats-go forward and bail for your
lives |"
Down swept another mighty blast Of
wind, clothed in spray and thick dark
ness. At such moment as this came
from away forward that most appalling
OF all cries that are ever heard at sea,
Man overheard !"
The Captain shouted ''Hard port !
Never mind the man! Let him climb
aboard Or wade ashore !"
Another cry came down the wind,
Breakers ahead I"
"Where away?"
"Not logs length off her port fore
foot"
We had CROPPED our slippery way for
ward, and were now bailing with the
energy Of despair, when we heard the
mates terrified cry from far aft:
"Stop that dashed bailing or we shall
be aground.
But this was immediately followed by
the glad shout:
Gland aboard the starboard tran
somp'
'Saved !" cried the Captain. ssJump
ashore, and take a turn around tree
and pass the blight aboard !"
The next moment we were all on
shore, weeping and embracing for Joy,
while the rain poured down in torrents.
The Captain said he had been mariner
for forty years ON the Neckar, and in
that time had seen storms to make q
mans cheek blanch and his pulse stop,
but he had never, never seen storm
that even approached this one.-MarE

LAST hNEs W@EeSr.
BY FRANCIS EKrN ALLISON.

Upon hfes highway was fastening, when
met a trouble grim,
Whom had often seen with other men,
But YVES far from him.
He seized my arm, and with sneering LID
Looked DER my happy past;
With sinking heart felt his bony grip
Clutch tight and hold me fast
"You look" said he, $50 happy and bright
That have come to see
Why other troubles miss you in their fight,
And what you'll do with me-"
"And have you come to stay with me?n cried,
Hoping respite TO win.
Eyes, have come to stay. Your world is wide;
I'm crowded where Two been"

To take him home with me
To all my other troubles, who had spurned

laughed with sullen glee;
At arm 's-length took him up the steps of home
Under my own roof tree.
And there c,utohed his scrawny neck and thin.
To thrust him in the room
Where, locked and barred, kept my troubles, in
SeclUsion's friendly gloom.
Grimly he looked at me with eyes that burned.
You nothing know of me;
The key on other troubles may be turned,
But Lam Poverty"
All! soon knew it was in vain, in vain
No locks avail for him;
Nor double doors, nor thickly-curta5aed pane
Gould make his presence aim.
He wrote his name on all my threadbare ways.
And in my shrinking air
He told the tale of useless shifts and STAYS
I made against despair.
He brushed tho smile from of my sweet wfe's fac
Ana left an anxious frown;
The fresh young joys that should ny children graC
His heavy feet trod down.
He took my other troubles out and walked
With them the public street.
Glad in my sacred sorrows, cheaDiy talked
With all he CHANGED to meet.
The months he stretched upon tho rack OF days
The days to weeks of fears;
The weeks were months, whose weary, folsom
ways
Stretched out through hopeless years.
To-day stopped TO fan with eager strife
A single hope which glowed,
And, mid the fading enbers Of my life,
A ftful warmth bestowed.
Chcered by spark, I turned with trembling limb
Once more the strife to wage;
But, az L turned, saw my trouble grim
Linking his arm with Age.
Old age and poverty-here end the strifei
And We relnorsoiess pair
DraDe on the last, dim milestone of my life
Your banner OF despair.

NICKEL BRONZE.

The effect of the opening and working.
of the remarkable deposits of nickel gar
nierite) in New Caledonia on the CONNER
cial value of this metal has already been
to reduce the metal to about one half the,
price at which it sold two or three years
ago, and the doubt that has been ex-
pressed as to the extent of these deposits
now appears to have been dissipated by the
erection of extensive works, both in New
Caledonia and near Marseilles, in France,
for the crude reduction and subsequent re.
fining of the metal, and the production
from this source has been continually on
the increase. These facts would appear
to indicate that the original statements of
the immensity of the New Caledonia de-
posits were not simply exaggerations. An
other piece of evidence to the same end Is
now afforded by the formation of French
company, whose object is declared to be
to effect the substitution of nickel-plated
brass and copper by the use OF nickel
bronze. This alloy contains nickel, to-
gether with various proportions OF copper,
zine and tin, according to. circumstances
but at least 20 per cent. of nickel is re-
quired to secure sufficient protection against
the action of the atmosphere and to give
the desired tint The journal Of the So
ciety of Arts, referring to the new depart.
ure. states that all articles that are now
made of brass or copper nickelized may he
produced in solid white nickel-bronze. We
take it for granted-though no special allu-
sion to the fact is made-that the cost of
the new alloy here referred to will inter-
pose no obstacle to its general substitution
for brass and copper Engineering Journal.
