ARTICLES made of imitation amber

sold for the natural material. The
resembling substance thus employed
is principally colophony-a resin OBJ
tanned by the decomposition of tnrpen-
tine though many other ingredients
are also made use of to give it the re-
quisite qualities. The difference be-
tween this and the genuine article is
sufficiently marked. The latter re-

substance becomes liquid at a much
lower temperature. Again, while the
true article is only slightly attacked,
after very long time, BY ether and
alcohol, the imitation soon becomes
soft In contact with such liquids.

Awriter in the Sun 28th ult. says: Ex-
aggerated reports are current in Hart
ford concerning Mark Twain's condi-
tion that he is subject to strange illu-
sions at one time fancying himself TO
be the editor Of the Cosrant !; at an
another time imagining that he is q
church deacon. Recently he was
found in front of his house standing OH
a box, and fancying himself to be the
Egyptian obelisk. The writer closes
his singular story with statement
that happily these attacks do not last
as rule more than ten days or fort
night, and the friends Of the clever hu-
morist have no cause for serious ankle
'ty on his account.

Ruslin ON science.
A good many people have thonght
certain classes of naturalists altogeth-
|er too much inclined to monopolize the
term science for their own specialties.
No one, however, has expressed this
conviction more forcibly the John Rus
kin. He says; 1T has become the
permitted fashion among modern math-
|ematIcians, chemists and apothecaries
to call themselves scientific men, as
opposed to poets, theologians and ar
lists. They know their sphere to be
a separate one but their ridiculous
notion of its being peculiar scientific
one ought not to be allowed out Of uni
versities. There is science of NOR
ais, science ofhistory, science Of
grammar, a science of music, and a
science or painting and all these are
quite beyond comparison higher fields
for human intellect, and require accu-
racies Of intenser observation, than
either chemistry, electricity or geolo-
| gy.

The Way Of the Road.

The Scientific Farmer says one of
the anomalies in American customs is
that of the driver of a wagon sitting on
the right hand side, while he always
turns out to the right while passing
another team. It matters not whether
he be on a broad, safe thoroughfare or
on narrow lane or crowded city street,
his seat is the same. Thus situated, it
is very difficult to see the exposed wheels
in passing, those which require the eye
of the driver. Doubtless this is promi-
nent cause of the many collisions be-
tween passing teams, and the wonder is
that more do not happen. The custom
was brought over by the pilgrims, but
like q Dutch sentence, the parts got
transformed in the translation. Across
the pond the driver sits on the right but
always turns to the left. In copying the
practice we retained the useless part and
changed the essential, for some unex-
planned reason. Possibly our fathers
thought to be consistent in the matter,
and rather than be right handed in sit
ting while left handed in the driving,
changed the latter tosnit. At all events,
the thing as now practiced is very incon-
venient, and is worthy subject of re-
form in this year when reforms are so
much in favor. And since it is easier to
change our position on the seat than
altering the custom of turning to the
right, let us henceforth hand our friends
up to the right side Of the wagon, while
we as drivers take the opposite side.

An EfectuaI Disguise.

In 1860, Queen Victoria being ther
expected to visit the French capital, the
prefect of the Seine commissioned GER.
tain eminent architect to superintend
the decorative preparations for her re.
ception in the Hotel de Vile. His ar.
rangements thus having met with
the projects unqualified approval,
he requested that official, on the eve OF
the reception, to present him to the
municipality's august guest next morn
ing. "With that goats beard Of yours,
impossible!' replied the project; "get
yourself clean shaved and I will be de-
lighted to present you to her majesty
Accordingly, the architect rose early,
swept off his long beard and betook him
self to the Hotel de Vile, where, having
secured a position in the immediate
vicinity of the project, he apxiously
awaited the recompensc Of his heroic
sacrifice. Presentation after presenta-
ton took place, but still his turn came
not. In vain he tried to catch the pre-
fect's eye by gestures of an imploring
character, to which his excellency paid
no attention. When the ceremony was
concluded the architect vehemently re-
preached the project for having failed to
keep his promise. "What promise?"
asked the latter, with blank stare Of
wonder. "Why, to present me to the
queen" "In what character, may I
ask p" GAS organizer of the reception
to be sure. I shaved off my beard for
that purpose!' $50 it is you, is it %

laughter. "Why did you not tell me

A Novel Sounding Board.

The resonator is the name given
by Signor Bach to his new invention for
increasing the volume and power OF the
human voice when singing. This appi-
ance is based upon the Office performed
by the hard portion of the palate, which
acts as a kind of sounding board when
the mouth is open for singing, and it is
for the purpose of increasing the eficien-
cy of the palate in this respect that the
resonator has been designed. 1t consists
of gold plate fitted to the roof Of the
mouth, close above the upper teeth
much in the same way as the gold plate
of q set of artificial teeth-the plate hav-
ing attached to it another gold plate,
which is convex downward in both d.
rections. A hollow sounding board, as
it may be termed, is thus formed, and is
said to have remarkable effect on the
volume of sound producible by the per-
son wearing the instrument. 1t is also
stated that the apparatus has no preju-
dicial effect upon the distinctness Of
articulation, and that it can be used
without the slightest inconvenience after
moderate practice.

Somebody put pepper in Mr.. Grouty's
cologne bottle, and when he took a
smell at it he got about two spoonfuls
up his nose, and the way hs sneezed was
a circumstance. About the time he had
been at it for ten minutes, and was shed
ding tears copiously, and felt sure that
he should loosen his hair at the roots,
and perhaps his teeth would come cut, a
friend entered. rs anything the mat
ter p asked the friend. "N-n-a-ca-chor-
ooo-ooo-no!" answered Grouty, and
then, when he finally got little quiet,
he gave the bottle to his friend and said:
"Smel of this" And while his friend
was tearing himself all to pieces, Grouty
asked: 90 Is anything the matter, or are
you just doing it to kill time?" They
are foes now.

Pope Leo,

Cooped up in the Vatican, the pontifff,
OF course, cannot enjoy the same health
as he did when, an archbishop at
Perugia, he took plenty Of air and exer-
else, hunting birds in the italian style
on the hills around that old town. His
present daily routine is a busy one, but
not conducive to health. At 6 A. NJ. he
gets up, and after the usual prisons, cele-
brates mass in his private chapel, to
which on Sundays few persons are ad-
mitted. After mass he hastily takes in
his room light breakfast. consisting of
chocolate, very thick and perfumed;
sometimes at this meal his brother is
present, though it is not eaey to tear
the studious cardinal from his books and
desk. Whenever Pope Leo wishes to
show special favor to anyone he has p
more abundant breakfast of his favorite
chocolate servO up in his library. After
his usually frugal meal work commences.
At $50 A. NJ. the cardinal, secretary Of
state and other dignitaries having a
right to special audience are received.
On Mondays, and sometimes on Thurs
days, he grants public audiences, for
which, however, he has no liking, as
they weary him and interfere with his
time. He is, moreover, disinclined to
make speeches on any and every occa-
sion, though he can not but see that this
disinclination is great disappointment
to the many pilgrims arriving in Rome
from all parts of the Catholic world.
In this latter respect matters were
very different under the reign of Plus
*, who was ever lively conversation
alist, and who possessed knack of con-
ciliating the pilgrims love and admira-
tion, often by word, smile or med
al. Many of the Vatican servants made
small fortunes by selling fragments Of
his old clothes, which we're eagerly COM
peted for by the pious visitors. An illus
tration of this mania for personal CD.
jects belonging to him is given in the
case Of foreign lady who was admitted
to private interview after he had been
worn out by long public audience.
First she asked his blessing, and it was
granted her; then she detailed her woes,
and he consoled her; next she expressed
her hopes, and he encouraged her.
