Casts from Animals.

"Takes it easy, don't he p said
sharp-eyed man, patting a long, wind
ing mass of clay hanging over bench.
"You don't mean that it is alive 2
swell, / should say so. Look here "
he replied, and picking away a little
clay at one end u bright, bead-like eye
appeared, and q forked tongue that
darted out for o second belonged to o
rattlesnake.
The cast .taker was Joe Palmer, en-
ployed by the Smithsonian Institution
to restore animals, etc.
The qualifications of the animal sculp-
tor who works from life models are var
led. Artistic talent, II cool head and
steady nerves are Indispensable, cs-
pecially when the subject is q rattle
snake or n copperhead. Reproducing a
snake III clay III former times, and pre-
serving litelike proportions, was an i'm
mense work, muny of the scales having
to be workt Il over and over with instru-
ments for the purp lsc but now the
operation Is much more Smpte, although
dangerous. A LIVING snake Is chloro-
formed, and, after II Is completely un-
der the influence placed on II limb or Ill
coil. and plaster quichly put on. If it
shows signs OF consc. nsn.ss before the
clay has hardened properly, more chloro'
form is gwen, and hluly the cast Is
cut off and ready iOr the mold, which,
when completed, is pniuted, making u
perfect fac s,mlie. The operation is not
always conducted easily. A cppperhead
"came to" one day suddenly, and,
throwing the clay aside, made Il dash for
liberty that created IL stampede. He
was recaptured later.
Among the larger animals are dol
phins, porpOises, glampuses, and the
white whale that WAS Iii the New York
Aquarium. Twenty or thirty heads

CObblers Who Went Beyond Their Last,

No one but shoemaker could have
thought Coleridge serious in his strange
saying that the shoemaker's bench had
produced more eminent men than any
other handicraft. The Shoe and Leath-
or Reporter has, however, compiled o
"bill of particulars in the shape of
list of famous cobblers, which seems to
act as an effectual estopel on all jealous
craftsmen. Hans Christian Andersen,
who needs no introduction, may head
the list, and Hans Sachs, of Nuremberg,
who, though he made shoes all his life,
yet also made 5000 poems, plays, farces
and rhyIning fables, may be put next
Sir Cloudesley Shovel was shoemaker
until he enlisted in the navy. and 80 was
Sir Christopher Minns, another English
Admiral. John Hewson, one of Crom-
wells Colonels, and a signer of Charles

the Demosthenes OF Methodism," rs
well as a Bishop; James Lackinton,
whose catalogue Of publications reached
the total-enormouI for that time-of
10000 volumes, in 1797-all these were
cObblers mt first, if not NJ the last. Con.
tinuing the English list, William Gif-
ford, whose memory is preserved by
complimentary allusion in Byron's En-.

whose body is buried i'll Westminster

William Carey, o missionary famous Il
century ago, and who read the proofs OF
the Bible IN twenty-seven Oriental Ian
guages Samuel Drew, "the Locke of
the nineteenth century," whose expert
ence as an author led him tn formulate
the sad truth that "the man who makes
shoes is sure OF his wages, but the man
who's makes books is never sure of any

Weather Prophets.

Speculations about the weather are
not wholly useless il we are to accept
the testimony of Prof. j. Hyatt, who
has been engaged for long time IN
studying the relations between the
phases OF the moon and the rainfall ut
certain stations. 1t has long been known
that when the moon is full the sky Il
most likely to be clear. This IS nos
only the testimony Of sailors and farm
ers, but also OF eminent astronomers
and scientific meu. 1t appears that the
rnys Of the tull moon lrnye the power 70
dispel clouds, and it therefore seems not
unreasonable to suppose that the moon
exerts iii appreciab influence uponl. tlc
weather. Prof. Hyutts observations
have led him to divide the lunar month";
OF about twenty-nine and half days
into eight periods, or octauts, oil hree
and twO.thlrds dnys each, and he has
found that every duration IL apt 10 ~,

Husbands and Wives,

A good husband makes good wife.
Some men can neither do without wives
nor with them; they are wretched alone
in what is called single blessedness, and
they make their homes miserable when
they get married; they are like Tomp-
kins' dog, which could not bear to be
loose, and howled when it was tied up.
Happy bachel, rs are likely to be happy
husbands, and II happy husband is the
happiest OF men. Awell matched couple
carry joyful life brtween them, as the
two spies carried the cluster of Eshcol.
They are q brace Of birds Of Paradise.
They multiply their joys hysharing them,
and lessen their troubles by dividing
them. This is fine arithmetic. The wagon
Of care rolls lightly along AZ they pull to-
gether; and when it dragS u little heavily,
or there is hitch anyShere, they love
each other all the more, and 80 Tighten
the labor. John PiD"ghman.

The general term usel To designate an

meant magician. From il is coined
