Lord Lytton's first speech in parlia-
ment since his return from India to
England is mentioned as having rather
too much of the Owen Meredith about
it; it bore evident traces of a great ex-
penditure of midnight toll, and was de-
livered with an accompaniment of
gesticulation essentially French.

How the Pyramids We're Built.

The pyramids are the tombs of the
early kings. Perfectly adjusted to the
cardinal points Of the horizon. they
differ in breadth and height, as is shown
by the measurement Of the three DID,
est, as follows l. The pyramid of
Khufa-height, 44O feet; breadth, TAG
feet. 2. Pyramid Of Kharfra-height
447.5 feet breadth, 690.75 feet. 3.
Pyramid of Menkara-haight 2O3 feet;
breadth, 352.7S feet. The construction
Of these enormous masses has long
been an insoluble mystery, but later
generations bave succeeded in solving
the problem. AS soon as the king
mounted the throne he gave orders to Il
nobleman, the master of all the build
ings of his land, to plan a tomb and
cut the stone. The kernel of the future
edifice was raised on the limestone soil
of the desert, in the form of a small
pyramid built in steps, Of which the
well-constructed and finished interior
formed the kings eternal dwelling, with
his stone sarcophagus lying on the
rocky floor. A second covering was
added, stone by stone, on the outside Of
the kernel a third to this second, and
to this even fourth; and the mass of
the giant building grew greater the
longer the king enjoyed existence.
And then, at last, when it became al
most impossible to extend the area of
the pyramid further, q casing Of hard
stone, polished like glass, and fitted &C
curately into the angles of the steps,
covering the vast mass Of the sepulchre,
presenting a gigantic triangle on each
of it's four faces. More than seventy
such pyramids once rose on the margin
of the desert, each telling of kings of
whom it was once the tomb and mon
ument. Had not the greater number
of these sepulchers of the Pharaohs
been destroyed almost to the founda-
ton, and had the names Of the build
ers Of these which still stand been &C
curately preserved, it would have been
easy for the inquirer to prove and make
clear by calculation what was origi-
nally, and Of necessity, the proportion
between the masses Of the pyramids
and the years of the reigns of their re-
spective builders.

A very fair story is told Of certain
man who has recently come to Spring
field to superintend one of the depart

pened to ask him the other day what

rejoinder, "have you ever been in the
Grand Central Depot at New York ?"
The visitor allowed that he had,
"Then," remarked the foreman, "you
have noticed man sitting in a little
room very high up in the building near
the tower, who governs the movements
of all the trains. He does not seem to
have anything to do, and often sits with
folded hands, and while he is still
nothing stirs below. But when he gives
the signal each train rolls out of the
depot in accordance with perfect sys-
tenn, which will not admit of the least
particle of confusion. The illustration
serves to show you my place; but, in
fact, sir, l am" here he gave his

story is out and is being circulated
among this mans colaborers, some of
whom have served the same concern
for quarter Of century.

We have described, as conforma-

Master Walter de Rothschild is the
leading performer. The education of
the Jewish youth is conducted with
great care. At or years of age the
Jewish child begins to learn the Aleph
Beth. AS soon as he can read the He
brew text, with the points, the work of
translation begins. There is no learn
ing of grammar, no study of roots or
forms. The mela1nmed, or instructor,
teaches the translation at once. He
pronounces the Hebrew words, explains
their meaning, and repeats given
portion in this way until the child
knows it. Thus, without lexicon or
grammar, the descendant of Abraham
learns the language of his forefathers.
1t is surprising to see the progress they
make in the course of single year.
When the child can translate tolerably
well, he commences to read over the
Pentateuch, with the commentary of
the famous rabbi, Solomon Jarchi.
The melammed repeats the words, Civ
ing the sense as before, and the child,
in like manner, repeats after him until
his task is learned. When he has mas
tered the Rashi, he begins the Talmud.

Duration ofthe Sun.

There are extinct suns. The fact
that there are such lends new weight to
the reasons which permit us to conclude
that our sun also is a body which slowly
gives out its store Of heat, and thus will
sometime become extinct. The term Of
Il, 900, 900 years which / have given
may, perhaps, become considerably pro
longed by the gradual abatement Of
radiation, by the new accretion of fall
ing meteors, and by still greater CON
densation than that which have assum-
ed in the calculation. But We know Of
no natural process which could spare
oar sun the fate which has manifestly
fallen on other suns. This Ii thought
which we only reluctantly admit. II
seems to us an insult TO the beneficent
creative power which we other wise find

The Domestic TyrAnt.

No person more completely possesses
the power OF creating misery, in his
house, than the domestic tyrant, en-
bltterlng rs he does the lives of his
nearest relatives by his selfi.hness and
eXgeant temper. The great essentials
for happiness In social life are freedom
and trust; but these important elements
are banished out of the little home world
ruled over by one of these imperious
autocrats. He makes ita rule TO exhibit
the most profound disregard for the
feelings of others, and by all indulgence
IN covert sneers, harsh and insulting
words. the sef-control Of his victims is
sorely tried. Consciousness of power is
no doubt the cause of his overbearing
ways. The domestic tyrant always has
the highest possible appreciation of
himself. His opinion admits of no
question; being his opinion, it must be
right, and in All arbitrary manner he ex.
poets his family to acauiesce, or to feign
acquiescence, with MIN on all points.
He looks upon himself in every sense as
a superior being, far above his surround
| lngs. In his own estimation he is too
highly bred and too refined to support
| the lnconveniences Of daily occurrences
which are endured by others. His
organization is too sensitive and inely
strung to tolerate small domestic trou-
bles.. He, if anything, is only too gener-
Gus and virtuous; he feels compassion
for himself alone, regretting that the
grandeur of his character is not sufli-
ciently appreciated. His most .tritline
acts are magmtied by him into examples
of stupendous liberality. In his com
plete self-satisfaction, he announces he
is only too good in sacrificing himself
and he laments that he does not receive
the admiration he considers bis due.
He possesses i'll the highest degree the
power of wounding the feelings of others
and by his persistent efforts to mortify
Their sensibilities; he appears to treat
that power as an accomplishment which
he never neglects to display at every
opportunity. The inmates of many al
apparently happy home, if questioned
as to the background, would bear testi
mony as to wrung hearts caused by the
domestic tyrant. No wonder, with sucl
a man for the head of the house, there
is general sense Of relief when tn,
h front door shuts behind him, and feel
j ing of suppressed JOY when he is away
Besides the misery caused by him t.
his household, the domestic tyrant mus
really experience q considerable amour
OF mental discomfort himself. He cal
not fail to perceive the sort of chang,
that comes over the cheerful famil,
party when he appears, or the kind o
chill that his presence brings. Instinc
tells how carefully topics of converse
ton are chosen for the family meals
how much constraint prevails, and wha
a strict avoidance OF any subject ther
is that may lead to wrathful question
ings. Curiously enough, ont of Iii
home he is generally genial, jovial
sort OF man, and very likely is locke
upon as a rather good d-hearted sort O
fellow, for it is only to his family tha
he shows his teeth.
