him that if the light of farthing candle
could in this way be thrown out dis.
lance, the light of a large lamp could
be projected mile or so away. The
result was the invention of the reflect.
ing apparatus for lighthouses.
Mezzotinto was invented by Prince
Rupert, owing to the simple accident OF
the sentry's gun being rusted with
dew.
Henry Schonward, a glass-cutter, Oh
Nuremburg, let some aqua forts drop
on his spectacles, and he, noticed that
the glass corroded and softened. That
was hint enough. He made liquid,
drew some figures upon glass, covered
them with varnish, applied this corrod-
ing fluid, cut away the glass around the
drawing, so that when the varnish was
removed the figures appeared raised
upon dark ground, and etching upon
glass was added to the arts.
Pliny relates that the invention OF
glass was due to some merchants tray
cling with inter, who stopped on the
bank of river to cook a meal. Not
having anything to rest their kettle on,
they took pieces of inter. The heat
melted this, which, mixing with the
sand, formed glass.
Charles Goodyear discovered vulcan
lied rubber by throwing a piece of sui
phured rubber across the room to amuse
a friend It alighted on hot stove.
and he found that the intense heat had
impaired to the rubber the very quality
he had SO long been experimenting to
produce.
A Limerick tobacconist was burned
out, and looked sadly on while his
neighbors rushed in among the ruins,
and, after trying the contents of certain
canisters, stuffed their waistcoat pockets
with them. What could they want
with. burned snuff, wondered the tobac-
conist. He tried the snuff and found it
was improved in pungency and aroma.
He opened new shop, built an oven,
and in short time backyard snuff,
sometimes called s'The Irish black
guard" had great run, and the
fortune of Landyfoot was made. Chi

WITH FRESH YOUNG EYES.

How fair and sweet the earth appears,
HOW blue and bright the skies,
How wide the scope, @
How full OF hope
TO fresh young eyes!
from them the roses hide their thorns,
For them the world herself adorns
Each year anew, new charms displays
10 captivate their youthful gaze.
The homely and familiar scenes
Which we but notice to deSpise
Always possess
Some loneliness
To fresh young eyes.
They see the sunlight shining through
The shadows, and obtain a view
Of charming vistas, and delight
In what is common in our sight.
The world of fancy, and of fame
And fortune, SO alluring, lies,
Mid splendors gay,
Not far away
From fresh young eyes.
That look with smiling hope and trust
Beyond the valleys filled with dust;
Nor at the mountains are dismayed
That all the pathways barricade.
The mist that wells the morning sun
Before their vision swiftly flies,
And everywhere, jJ
The prospects fair
10 fresh young eyes.
Undimmed by trials and by tears,
Untouched by cares of later years,
They look abroad on skies serene,
Nor see the clouds that intervene.
All, with what rapturouss delight
All, with what tender, sweet surprise
Earth glories burst
Respondent first
On fresh young eyes!
What though the false appeared the true!
What though the old appeared the new!
! 'Twere better than to be too wise,
And see no more with fresh young eyes.

Popular Science Catechism.

What is this?
A druggists clerk, darling.
Is he not a druggist?
| No, dear.
But he is putting up prescription
Oh, no! he is not.
What, then, is he doing?
He is trying to put one up.
Is he succeeding?
| He is very near success. 4,
How near?
Well, the doctors prescription calls
for five grains of quinine in each dose.
And what is the druggists clerk
doing?
He is putting five grains Of morphine
in each dose.
Oh! But viii not this hurt the poor
PATIENT
Not very much.
But how much? .s
It will kill him.
Ny! But what dreadful thing for
the clerk!
Not half so bad as for the patient.
What will the poor druggist say
when they arrest him for the murder?
He will say his clerk put the prescrip-
ton up.
And what will the poor clerk say?
He will say he was sleepy and mis-
took the bottles
Why! are the bottles of morphine and
quinine kept on the same shelf?
Certainly.
Then such mistakes are liable to oc-
cur at any time9
They are, my precious.
But why does not the poor druggist
hire clerks who know the difference be-
tween quinine and morphine?
Because he can hire q boy who does
not know for less money. <f.@
Then we are in danger whenever we
take the medicine the poor doctor or
ders? Isss;s;;ss9s5(sf
We are, darling.
Can we do nothing to protect our.
selves? ;sf
Oh, yes! -.
What?
We can throw the medicine out Of the
window.
But is not the druggist or his clerk
punished for killing innocent people in
this way?
NO, dear.
Why?
Because the over-zealous Sheriff fills
the jury with druggists and dealers, and
they acquit both the druggist and his
clerk. s-..sg
Oh! the druggists and doctors stand
by each otherp
Every time.
But when. the poor druggists clerk
puts up such dose by mistake, does he
not really murder the poor patient?
Oh, no, my pet.
Why? .,..
Because the poor patient commits
suicide by taking it.-N 7: Life.

Death Of Charles Stratton, the Cele-
brated Dwarf.

/
General Tom Thumb died of apoplexy
Sunday morning. He had been slightly in
disposed for several days, but no serious re-
suits were anticipated. He leaves widow,
who had been on the stage with him since
1868. He was forty-six years of age. His
correct name was Charles Stratton, and he
| came to the notice of P. T. Bar
mum in November, 1912, and the show
man describes, him as being under two
feet high, weighing less than sixteen pounds,
beautifully formed; blonde, with ruddy
cheeks and nirthful eyes. Barnum intro
duced Stratton to the public on December
s, 1912, by the name that afterward pre-
/ coded him around the world-General Tom
/ Thumb. He paid the little midget IS
week, with expenses for himself and his
mother for four weeks. Then he was re-
engaged for twelve months at ST
a week, but long before this term
expired Mr.. Barnum paid him
asa5 a week. In January, 1916, Tom
Thumb, now getting fifty dollars a week
and expenses, set sail with Barnum for
Europe in the Yorkshire, a sailing ship. The
little General proved a decided hit in En-
gland, France and Germany and the state
ment never afterward omitted from the
show bills, that he was exhibited 'sbefora
crowned heads was literally true. In the
autumn, Tom Thumb returned with his
manager, who was then the proprietor of
the museum that bore his name, and
early the next year the mite returned again
to Europe. When, three months later, he
again came back to America, his value as
curiosity had grown greater than before.
Barnum took in SIS, 504.91 in twelve days
with him in Philadelphia, and S976.9s in
one day in Providence. Mr.. Barnum took
him to Havana and made q great deal of
money there. After that the dwarf was put
in charge of agents of Mr.. Barnum, who had
no desire to spend his life in travel.
In 1857 Barnnm took Tom Thumb
and Cordelia Howard, a child who was
famous as Little Eva in 'ssUncle Toms
Cabin, to Europe, and in 1862 he engaged
tiers, to the former of whom Tom Thumb
lost his, heart at the showman's home in
Bridgeport. At the old museum, where the
Herald building now stands, the receipts
principally because of the presence Of
the noted little man and the WarrensC
were frequently $4,000 day. The
fact that Tom Thumb and Layinia
Warren were to be married re-
doubled the popular interest In them, and
Barnum offered them SIS, 900 to postpone
the wedding month This was indignant-
ly refused. The Snowman resisted the
to have their wedding viewed by
the public at so much seat, though he said
ne could have made $4,000 by exhibiting,
the ceremony in the Academy of Music.
They were married in Grace Church, and
held a reception afterward in the Metropolis
tan Hotel. This was in 1862. ,slalf.

The question Of building a bridge
across the Mississippi River a Memphis

would make Memphis leading city of
