A SuccassfuI Practical Ioka.

A correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript declares that Mr.. James
Russell Lowell once made up his mind
to play joke upon the atlantic
Monthly, and to that end wrote an ar
ticle called the Essence of American
Humor,' ? which was said by the friends
to whom he read it to be among the
best Of his writings. "He employed
some one to copy it," says the CORE
spondent, " and signed it w. Perry
Paine,' and sent it to the atlantic
with the request that, as it was a
maiden effort, the editor would give
an opinion in writing to said Paine.
He waited fortnight, but heard
nothing from his paper, when, being
in Boston, he dropped into the Office Of
the Atlantic, and, meeting James 7.
Fields, adroitly turned the converse
tion upon humor, and remarked it was
singular so little was written upon
the subject. Fields replied: We
get great deal Of manu-
script on humor, but it is SO poor that
we cannot use it. / threw into the
waste-basket the other day a long
screed christened the " Essence Of
American Humor," which should have
been styled the Essence of Non
sense" for more absurd farrago of
stuff I have never seen. Lowell, much
to the surprise Of the editor, burst into
a roar Of laughter and informed Mr..
Fields of the authorship Of the article.
The editor turned all colors and swore
it was one Of Lowell's jokes. In
deed it is responded Lowell, and the
best joke I ever played. / never
thought highly of my scribbling, but,
by Jovel didn't believe it was the
most ridiculous farrago Of stuff you
had ever SEEN BY way Of self-de-
tense, Fields declared he did not read
the thing, but that he did not believe
that man who signed his first name
with the initial and the second full
could write for the Atlantic That
was about as ingenious an excuse as he
could make for his partiality."

Silver TMmbIes.

The manufacture of silver thimbles
is very simple, but singularly interest
ing. Coin silver is mostly used, and is
obtained by purchasing coin dollars
The first operation strikes novice as
almost wicked, for it is nothing less
than putting a lot Of bright silver dol
lars, fresh from the mint, into dirty
crucibles, and melting them up into
solid ingots. These are rolled into the
required thickness. and cut by stamp
into circular pieces of the required
size. A solid metal bar, Of the size of
the inside Of the indented thimbIe,
moved by powerful machinery up and
down in a bottomless mold Of the out
side of the thimble, bends the circular
disks into the thimble shape as fast as
they can be placed under the descend
ing bar. Once in shape, the work of
Frightening, polishing and decorating
is done upon lathe. First the BLANK
form is fitted with a rapidly-revolving
rod. A slight touch Of a sharp chisel
takes thin shaving from the end,
another does the same on the side and
a third rounds off the rim. a round
steel rod, dipped in oil and pressed
upon the surface, gives it a lustrous
polish. Then a little revolving steel
wheel, whose edge is a raised orna-
ment, held against the revolving blank,
prints that ornament just outside the
rim. A second wheel prints different
ornament around the center, while
third wheel, with sharp points, makes
the indentations on the lower half and
end of the thimble. The inside is
frightened and polished in a similar
way, the thimble being held on a re-
volving mold. All that remains to be
done is to boil the completed thimbles
in soapsuds, to remove the Oil, brush
them up and pack them for trade.

A French journal describes pro-
posal for placing passing ships in com
munication with existing submarine
cables. The protector would float
buoys with the necessary connecting
wires and apparatus at intervals Of a
days journey along the line of the car
bic, each numbered and properly
lighted at night, and he considered that
the plan presents but few difficulties,
and would obviate much anxiety and
many dangers.
Recent geological Investigations are
thought to establish the fact that the
eastern portion Of Kansas, portion Of
Nebraska, Southern Iowa, Northern
Missouri, etc, were once covered by a
fresh-water lake; the body Of water
thus formed naturally received numer-
Gus rivers and smaller streams from
the vast outlaying regions, the turbid
waters Of which deposited in time a
sediment varying from $50 to few
feet in depth.
Is the southern hemisphere Of our
earth colder than the northern? Mr..
Hennessy and Mr.. Henel say that the
southern, owing to its greater mass Of
water, must have the higher tempera-
ture, or about 15.4 degrees Centigrade,
although Herr Mann thinks that 15.2
degrees Centigrade would fairly repre-
sent that of either side of the equator.
This, in these days Of active steam
ship traffic and meteorological research,
should soon be placed beyond the
reach of controversy. Armchair work
ing out Of facts amount to little.

"Try to forgive me, Nellie. would
give much for you to meet each other
again. AT all events he knows the
truth now. Don't think too hardly Of

As / crossed the field which lay be-
tween Mrs. Leedon's house and the
high road my mind was full of con-
fusion; grief and Indignation pre-
dominated, and then wild hope sud
denly sprang up, but that brought me
to myself. "This is Madness J

Before 1 passed through the gate ]
folded my hands upon it, closed my
eyes, and muttered, "Thy viii be

walked quickly homeward. AS /
gazed round on the wide, fiat fields
and straight road, I could not help
likening the landscape to my life.
Sameness, monotony, and, when it
should please God to take my one kind
friend from me, great loneliness. And
yet it need not be unhappy. Summer
would come in its season to brighten
the fields, and even now the hoar-frost
was sparkling in the sun. And then
had the privilege Of straight path Of
duty which could not bemistaken.
The long road seemed to stretch on
to the horizon, and straight before me
the sun, round and crimson, had Just
touched the earth.
The road was very lonely, and as ]
could only see one solitary human
being approaching me in the distance,
quickened my steps, for Mrs. Fan
shaw was apt to be nervous when 1
was out late. AS he approached per-
ceived it was tall man, wrapped in a
plaid. My eyes were too much dazed
by the sun for me to see his face, but
thought he was looking earnestly at
me. He walked few steps past me.
and then returned, saying, "Will you
kindly direct me to Mrs. Leedon's cot
tage at Earlswood?"

then involuntarily held out my hands.
They were warmly clasped, and in a
moment I was pressed to his breast.

Animals and ndnrs.

"A writer on odors and their recogni-
tion, in the Journal Of Science, says
Take an OK, a sheep or a goat to a
country where the flora is strange, and
he will browse upon plants analogous
in odor with those which have formed
his food in his native land But when
ever he perceives strange ef1uvium
given off he avoids the plant as doubt
full. a superfuous bear at the Paris
ZOO had bun with prussic acid on it
given him. But bruin was not to be
caught that way. He pushed it into
the water, and not until the odor was
entirely gone did he eat it. The poison
had then lost its force. Animals have
pronounced tastes in odors. The literal
in fine frenzy rolling" Of the cat in
catnip is notorious, while the pard and
panther grow amiable beneath the in

olive orchards u ItaIY.

The olive orchards here frequently
cover the sides Of the Appenine noun
tains quite to the top. Thousands of
acres are devoted to olive culture.
When we used to read in the Bible
about the people who ate bread, wine
and olives, we always supposed, you
remember, that an olive was a fruit to
be eaten ripe, like a peach or an orange.
1t seems necessary to reconstruct our
Bible belief in this respect. They tell
as here that an olive il a fruit which
must never be eaten raw that in that
state IL is a bitter, burning, acid-tasting
thing which a goat itself would refuse
TO take down. II is product To be
picked and then eaten, usually with
bread. In the picked state those who
are accustomed to eating it in its native
state say it is delicious. There are
various ways Of preserving the olive.
It is chiefly raised, however, for the
oil, on which, it is said, a great profit
is made. There seems to be no good
reason why it could not be cultivated
successfully in Florida, and perhaps in
other parts Of the Southern United
States. In appearance the olive tree
is about the size and shape Of an or
dinary peach tree, with gnarled
trunk. Its leaf is the shape Of apeach
leaf, but small, harsh and stiff The
color Of the foliage il q pale, dull
green, like that Of sage bush, tho
