Deaf, not Blind.

At prayer meeting in one OF the leading
Churches in Detroit, recently gentleman,
well known as an active and earnest church
member. whose remarks are always listened
10 with great interest, was making a most
impressive appeal to his auditors de was
lust proceeding to enforce point by Illus
tration. when a gentleman a few seats in
front rose to his feet, and remarking that
no one was occupying the attention OF the
meeting, asked that they join with him In
PRAYER. The first gentleman. thus sum-
marily taken off his feet, abruptly subsided;
the second gentleman prayed fervenily
and though the grave face OF the pastor
was not illumined with a smile, the audi
tors could with difficulty refrain from
laughter. Both gentlemen, who were the
innocent means of producing the amusing
scene. are very deaf; the second one is also
sbort-sighted, and, sitting in front OF the
brother who was speaking, was wholly un-
aware that any one was occupying the at
tention of the meeting. The first gentle
man. though deaf, is not blind, and the
facility with which he sought his seat
when the discourse was interrupted, was
NOT the least amusing part Of the scene.

ed home and told Gottlieb, Mother Eliza
beth and Gretchen all about it; they were
all very glad to think Hans had really
earned something by his ''whittling," as
his grandmother called his new occupation.
Meanwhile the gentleman, too, had return
ed to his home, and that same evening he
entertained at his table several of his friends,
and as they were excellent judges of wood
carving, he showed them those he had
purchased in the morning. After repeat
ing for their benefit Hans story, he asked
their opinion of the carvings, saying he
thought the boy quite genius and would
like to help HIM in some way. All his
guests pronounced the carvings remarkable
for boy of Hans age, and after consult
ing together agreed to buy all he could

the gentleman went to see GOttlieb, u
ascertain whether Hans had told him the
truth, ami when he learned what a good boy
he was, and how rapidly he had learned,
went to see him and promised to help him
by buying all he could make.
Now began for Hans new and happy
life. Instead of carrying heavy loads to
town, he spent his time in carving; and a:
he was smart and used his eyes wherever
he went examining the trees, ferns, flowers,
birds, squirrels, etc, and copied them in
wood, never resting till he brought out the
expression he wanted, he improved very
rapidly, and soon his fame spread far and
wide. Strangers passing through the forest
were guided to his hut and always stopped
to see the oy-artist and purchase a trifie
to carry away with them; and they often
say there is one thing they admire much
more than his skill in carving; that Is, his
devotion TO Mother Elizabeth, Gretchen,
and poor old Gottlieb, who has lost hi:
sight, and who lives with Hans.

Etching on Glass.

Glass is etched by hydroiluOric acid gas
or liquid hydrofuOric acid-solution of the
gas in water. The former in contact with
glass produces rough surface, as in ground
glass, while the latter ordinarily leaves the
surface clear. The gas is prepared by mix
ing together finely powder, fiOurspsr-cal-
eium fiuOride, three parts, and two parts
Of strong sulphuric acid, in a shallow leaden
dish, and applying a very gentle heat,
The plates to be etched much may be placed
over the dish. The operation should be
conducted under hood OF in the open air,
to avoid inhaling the perniciOus fumes.
The plates are prepared by coating them
while warm with wax or parafiin, through
which to the surface Of the glass the designes
cut with suitable gravers. In preparing
the liquid acid the mixture Of spar and oil
of vitriol is placed in leaden or platinum
rctort, which is heated, and the gas taken
of is conducted into leaden dish partly
filed with water, which absOrbs il. In
contact with the flesh the acid produces
stubborn sores. The metals are usually
etched with dilute nitric acid. or nither and
sulphuric acid, or sulpbate Of copper and
salt, or hydrochloric, acid and chlorats of
potash. Hydrofluoric acid is not used In
metals.

Too Much Inference.

If you hand three pennies to the stamp
clerk at the Detroit post-office he infera
His inference is that you want a three-cent
stamp and he shoves one at you rather
quicker than lightning. His inference holds
good on two cents and single penny and
he hits il ninety nine times out of a hundred.
He, however, got LETT recently. A bulky.
slow-moving Old woman came in with 8
half dozen things to mail, and her first
move was to hand IN a three cent piece.
He retaliated with green stamp, but she
showed it back with the remark:
''Who said | wanted a three? Give me
three ones.'
She licked them on with great care and
then handed in three pennies. The clerk
this time threw out three ones, but she re-
jected two of them with the indignant pro-
test:
'What are YOU trying to do? Iwant a
two and IA One."
In due time she had licked these on a.
well and then she handed in four cents.
The clerk scratched his head, hesitated,
and threw out three and q one.
''See here, young man, you're getting
perfectly reckless ~ she exclaimed, as she
glanced at the stamps Il want stamped
envelope for that money"
She got it, and the clerk made up his
mind that Ia would catch her on the next
sale or resign his position. She posted
several packages and then sauntered up and
laid down penny. That could only call
for penny stamp, and the young man
chuckled, as he tore it off.
'What are YOU giving me now;" snap
ped the woman, as she drew herself up.
"a penny stamp"
''Who asked for penny stapp?"
''You put down penny.'

palaces. She could never prevail on her
self TO part with single article of clothing,
and up TO her last hour derived unquench-
able delight from examining. asserting. and
trying on her finery. On the day Of her
death she had her maids array her in a
dressing gown of extreme elegance, because
she fancied the Emperor of Russia would,
perhaps, call to see her. She expired in
rose cciOred satin. Notwithstanding her
mania for dress, which might suggest a
narrow aId exaggerated egotism, Jo-
sephine had a generous nature. She evinced
a singular zeal and cOnstancy in furthering
the interests of her own kinsfolk, as well
as those of her first husbands relatives

a Governors Diplomacy.

y good yarn and true one is told of the
Captain Of one of the Sidney, Australia
cOasting steamers who had the honor OF
carrying as passenger one of the Colonial
Governors who lately graced the opening Of
the Exhibition with his presence. The in
cident happened some time since, however.
There were few passengers. The weather
was hot. No ladies were on board, SO the
Governor applied to the Captain to be al
lowed to use the ladies' saloon and cabin
At first he met with point blank refusal
He then resorted to diplomacy, and under
strict promise that he would vacate the
cabin whenever any ladies came on board,
he was permitted to IemOve to the coveted
apartment. Shortly afterward, at one of
the informed ate ports. a poor digger's wife
came on board. She was shown to the
ladies' cabin, and the Governor was politely
requested to turn out. Ills Secretary ex-
posiula.ed. His Excellency could not b.
disturbed. All his luggage would have to
be removed. The Captain ordered two
sailors az once to remove the boxes. His
Excellency himself deigned to remonstrate
''Surely, Captain, YOU will not inconveni-
ence me for the sake of this poor woman?"
''Sir," came the prompt and stern rebuke.
edo you think it is only silk dress makes
the lady?' Like a hearty gentleman as he
was, the Governor accepted the lesson
captain" he said, ''fOrgive me. 'Tis you
are the gentleman, not l." They have
been firm friends since.

GreasIpc Official Wheels.

A curious episode, too good to keep, oc
CURED the other evening during session
of village council which illustrates that
the favorite theme of temperance is moi
embodied in the virtues of the village dads.
II was this: The council having allowed g
certain ofiicial's bill of s24, sent him a note
as follows:
'.Mr. -, we are about to adjourn
where is the beerl"
To which the official answered on the
same slip of paper:
''Keep still; am feeding Stewart"
No sooner was this received than the fol
lowing was returned to the official:
TOO thin. Beer is what We want.
This had the desired effect, and the foam
ing beverage was waltzed into the presence
Of the astonished council.
