Patience Greater Than Jobs,

1 suppose Jobs patience was wonder
ful for man; but it was nothing to
that Of women. What would job have
done had he been compelled to sit in
the house and sew, and knit, and nurse
the children, and see that hundreds Of
different things were attended to aurine
the day, and hear children cry, and fret.
and complain? Or how would no have
stood it i, Like some poor woman, he
na;1 1een cc! 5ea g g :z,cear family Of ten
or twelve children wHho,1t any help,
spending months, years all the prime Of
lte-ln washing, securing, scrubbmg,
mendlng, cooking, and nursing children:
fastened to the house and his offspring
from morning till night, and from night
TIL morning; sick or well, IN storm or
sunshine, his nights often -onG4red mis-
cradle by watching cyaz Ills chilsren :?
How could he have stood ali this, and in
addition to all other troubles the curses
and even violence Of drunken com
panion? he would soon have tired of
unrewarded labor and undeserved blame,
Fon after all, though Job endured his
boils and losses very we'll for a short
time, they did not endure long enough
to test the strength Of his patience.
Woman tests her patience by whole
life of trials, and she does not grumble
at her burdens. We are honestly Of the
opinion that woman has more patience
than Job; and instead of Saying, "The
patience Of Job, we should say, The
patience CT woman. - rchunqe.

a Fish Story.
AS q gentleman was f;sh

As a gentleman was fishing in the
mlll-dam below Winchester, Va, he &C.
cidentally threw his line across a strong
white duck, which, suddenly turning
round, twisted the gut around her own
neck, and fixed the hook of the dropper-
fly in her breast. Thus entangled and
hooked, she soon broke off the gut
above the dropper, and sailed down the
stream with the end Of the fy>trailins
behind her. She had not proceeded far
before trout Of about pound and a
half took the fly effectually. Then COM
menced a struggle as extraordinary as
ever was Witnessed duck at the drop
per and large trout at the end of the
fly. Whenever the trout exerted itself
the terror of the duck was very conspicu-
Gus; it futtered its wings and dragged
the fish. When the trout was more oui-
ct the duck evidently gave way, and suf-
fered herself to be drawn under some
bushes, where the shortness Of the gut
did not allow the trout to shelter herself.
The ducks head was frequently drawn
under the water. By chance, However.
the gut got across q branch which hung
downward into the water; and the duck,
taking advantage of the purchase which
this gave her, dragged her opponent
from his hole and obliged him to show
his head above water. Then it became
a contest Of life and death. The trout
was in its last agonies, and the duck in a
very weak state, when the gut broke
and suffered them to depart their own
way

American SnObs.

Mr.. Alden, in the New York Times,
is somewhat personal in his allusion to
American girls angling for titled hus-
bands. he tells us: ssThere are few
spectacles abroad more Notifying to
the better sort Of Americans than to be
compelled to witness daughter Of the
Commonwealth angling for o foreign
nobleman, or, indeed, for a foreigner
Of any kind. But the specimens of no
bility who consent to be the husbands
Of American girls are not, as rule,
those that confer credit on their rank.
They are very apt to be men Of bad
habits, broken fortunes, selfish instincts,
willing to accept the fair republicans in
consideration Of their handsome dowry.
They feel that what their brides want is
title, and, having given that, they fre-
quently give them nothing else. Love,
esteem. loyalty, chivalry, courtesy, are
not included these do not form part of
the agreement. The number of orr
women who have been married to Con
hnental titles and repented it bitterly Is
larger than has been suspected.

Musical Jealousy.

A singular incident in natural history
occurred lately at Chester, England. A
thrush, in happy state Of freedom, was
trilllng its notes in the orchard below
the walls, near the wishing steps,"
when its music excited similar efforts
from Gagged bird of the same species,
which was suspended in front OF the adj
Jacent houses. These feathered song
sters persevered in raising their melo-
dies to higher and higher efforts, as if in
earnest rivalry, when suddenly the bird
among the trees darted from its perch
upon the wicker cage Of its competitor,
broke the bars, entered it, and COM
menced an assault upon the musical
captive the owner of which, hearing
the unusual noise, came out, took the
aggressor prisoner, and sold it into
bondage. The ill-tempered thrush had
therefore paid the penalty Of sacrificing
its freedom to its jealousy. This anec-
dote IS fact, and not written, as it
might seem to be, for the purpose Of
pointing moral against musical jeal-
ousies among human vocalists. Dunn

How to Keep Husband at Home.

"Juha writes us long letter ask
ing how she can keep her husband home
nights. She says she has done eyery-
thing she can think Of to please him,
but he will insist on leaving her alone
each evening. We fear Julia doesn't
make her husbands home pleasant for
him, or he would certainly not go away.
Now, Julia, you go down town today
and buy keg Of beer, placing it in one
corner Of the dining-room. Strew saw
dust over the floor, and put half a dozen
coarse, wooden boxes about the room
for spittoons. Hang a sheet across
one end of the room, invite half a
dozen. of your husbands male friends to
spend the evening. Then, Julia. YOU
and your servant dress yourselves up in
long stockings and night-dresses. and.
when your friends have assembled with
their cigars, pull aside the sheet you
have previously hung up, and skip from
one side Of the room to the other. on the
ti;,s of your toes, singing, .Fra-la-la-le,'
aid jumping as high as you can at every
third step. This will prove very inter
esting exercise for yourself and SERVANT,
and prevent your husband from strayiing
away. IF your husbands male friends
are married, invite their wives to assist
you in the evenings entertainment. If
this doesn't keep him at home evenings.
you'd better trade him off for a yellow
dog, and keep the dog chained up.

Ice for Teething Children.

The New York San has the following
bit OF good news for worried mothers
and tortured babes a-s
The pain Of teething may be almost
done away, and the health of the child
benefited, by giving it fine splin-
ters of ice, picked off with pin, to melt
in it's mouth. The fragment is so
small that it is but drop Of warm water
before it can be swallowed, and the child
has all the GOODNESS tor its feverish gums
without the slightest injury. The avidity
with which the little things taste the
cooling morsel; the instant quiet which
succeeds hours Of fetfulness, and the
sleep which follows the relief are the
best witnesses to this magic remedy. Ice
may be fed to q three-months' child this
way, each splinter being no larger than
a common pin, for five or ten minutes,
the result being that it has swallowed in
that time teaspocnfsA Of warm water,
which, so far from being harm, is good
for it, and the process may be repeated
hourly as often as the fretting fits from
teething begin.

A BOdie Snake Story.

George Finney, driver of the Virginia
and Bodle stage, says that snakes of
several species, including hoops and rat
tiers, are getting to be so plentiful along
the road at this end Of the route that it
is dangerous to leave the coach, and it
is q great wonder he hasn't lost his team
before this. In coming in the other
day he drove into lot of snakes that
literally covered the road for about 500
yards. He could not turn out, so he sent
the silk into the horses and dashed
through on dead run. How the team
escaped injury puzzles him. One big
hoopsnake, about ten feet long, that was
lying in the center Of the road, as soon
as it heard the coach coming uncoiled
itself just as the team was passing over
it, and made a vicious strike with its
spiked, bony tail at the belly Of the nigh
wheeler, but missed him and struck the
pole. The force of the blow was so
great that the tail was driven into the
hard wood some three inches. The
snake, being unable to withdraw it, was
dragged along for about 100 yards, until
it was killed by one of the wheelers
stepping on it and breaking tae spike,
The venomots reptile gave frightful
yell, denoting pain mingled with rage,
as it expired, and, before reaching the
next station the wagon-pole was swelled
up as big as an ordinary saw-iog, while
poison was dripping out from under the
irons at each end like green sap from q
freshly cut sapling. -Bodie( coz Nevs.

Diamond RObberies.

The robbery Of Lord Eldon Of $780,
600 worth Of plate and jewelry calls at
tention to the fact that not all of the
clever burglars have immigrated to this
country. It is estimated that fifty thefts
OF this sort have been accomplished in
England within the last ten years, the
aggregate Of plumber exceeding So, $780,
600. The most conspicuous robberies
beside this late one were those of Lady
Ellesmore and Lady Dudley. The usual
plan is for the burglars, while the fami-
~ is at dinner, to get into lady's room
by a ladder. The diamonds are taken
out of their settings, which are at once
melted, and then the Jewels can readily
be sold to the trade. A well-known
London firm is said to have emerged
from obscurity within twelve months af-
ter Lady Ellesmore's $3.50, 900 worth Of
diamonds were taken, and it is con-
l]ectured that many of those stolen jewels
are now worn by fashionable ladies at
Newport and Saratoga.

The PhOtOphONe.

This remarkable invention is own sis
ter to the telephone. It means to talk
by light. The idea upon which it is
founded is this:
Certain substances are sensitive to
light, and change their electrical con-
dition according to the amount of LIGHT
that falls upon them. To understand
this, you may observe that colored cloths
fade in the sun, and certain chemicals
change their color in beam of light. as
in taking a photograph. This is called
the actinic effect Of light. In like man.
ner certain chemicals change their cleo
trical condition when exposed to light.
This is a new fact in nature, and upon it
is founded the new apparatus for talking
by light.
The apparatus consists, first, of trans
mitter for causing the,sound of the voice
to affect a beam of sunlight. This is a
thin diaphragm of silvered mica arranged
somewhat like the diaphragm Of tele-
phone. a powerful beam Of sunlight is
directed upon the front of this, and is
reflected through two lenses to the re-
ceiving station, which may be several
hundred feet, or meters, away. The
operator stands behind the mirror, and
speaks against the back Of it. At the re-
ceiving station is a reflector arranged to
receive the beam of light and concen-
trate it upon a curious substance dis
covered few years ago, and called selen-
lum. and connected in peculiar man
ner with a telephone.
Now, if the operator speaks behind
the mica mirror, the person holding the
telephone to his ear hears every word
that is said. To trace Ene curious chang
es the sound goes through from one ope-
rator to the other, we must observe that
TIE vibrations of the all move the mirror.
and cause the beam .of reflected light to
vibrate. The vibrations of the light
affect the electrical condition Of the tele-
phone; the electrical vibrations are
transformed in the telephone back again
into sounds. This truly wonderful in
vention is so new that it Is yet impossible
to say what may result from it. This
much has, however, been proved: the
sound of the human voice and musical
notes may be sent to distance by means
of beam of sunlight or by the light Of
lamp. Es.r -.....
