Carving Ivory and Bone.

All the curiously carved handles
which are so fashionable, and the quaint
or the more sought after, are shaped
upon series of rapidly revolving
wheels. ranging from an eight to three
inches in diameter, and which are
cross between q file and q saw upon
their cutting surface. Ivory and bone
are carved in precisely the same man.
ner, the only difference in the handling
of the two being that bone has to be
boiled q long while to free it from ami
NAL matter before it goes to the carver,
whilst ivory is clean and pure from the
start.
When it is desired to produce any
given object in bone or ivory, IN umbrel-
Ia handle with 4 couched tiger upon it
for instance, the carver takes q piece of
the material of suitable size, and presses
it against one of the wheels described
above. At the point of contact it cuts
with amazing rapidity. Soon the shape
less block begins to assume the rough
outlines of the object intended. The
lathe is then stopped, which requires
but IN instant, and another, probably a
smaller wheel, is substituted. In this
way dozen wheels may be used before
the final finish is given with q delicate
disc, little larger than q pins head;
but when the work leaves the deft fin
gers of the skillful worker perfect
miniature of the royal native of the jun
gle is seen. The only remaining thing
to be done is polishing, which is ac-
complislled 10y means Of canvas bolts
with pumiee upon them; and finally,
| by Canton flannel belts or wheels.
Many people suppose that billiard
balls are turned by means of some ex-
quisjte!y adjusted machinery, in order
to secure their spherical perfection.
The exquisite machinery is the eye and
hand of the artisan. The writer saw Il
gray-hairod workman turn several bill
lard balls, and the only tool he used
was an ordinary turner's cl,isel. His
! eve was his 0aure.= =PniLlhlcLlhiN Press.

A Spsnjsh Inn.

All the region for miles and miles
around ARGOS is thickly planted with
olives, which gave pleasing aspect to
this hilly country. It was late twilight
when we come Gathering into the an
cient town, and were set down at the
house where the diligence stopped.
three old women. We were surrounded
at once by curious and helpful popu-
lation all eager to seize our pieces of
luggage and bear them to parts un-
known. The driver, who was our
friend, appeared to be having a confer
ence with the old woman as to whether
they should have the plucking of us, OF
would send us to the regular posada, to
which we wished to go. In the grow
ing darkness it was impossible to sec
where we were, or where the posada was,
and it required all of our vigilance to
keep track of our luggage. After q
great deal of confusion, we found our
selves transferred, bed and baggage, to
the posada, which was almost exactly
opposite, in debt to half the loafers of
Acros for their valuable assistance.
The posada, the best in the place, show
ed no sign of light or life. We entered
the stables, and made our way up
stone staircase to the hotel apartments.
No obsequious landlord or landlady
welcomed us, but we at last discovered
tail, sour-faced maid d-of-all-work,
naughty and dirty, who condescended
to show us couple of clean but utterly
bare little rooms, and undertook to get
us something to eat. We felt humbly
obliged. The stranger in Spain, at
most inns and elsewhere, is treated al
if the most acceptable thing he could
do would be to take himself speedily
out of the country. Our apartments
were furnished with Spartan simplicity;
the guest is allowed wash-bowl, but
no pitcher, and the water given him in
the bowl is supposed to be quite enough
for his needs; but the bed, though the
mattress is made of uncomfortable Jumps
of WOOL is scrupulously clean. Our re-
past was all that we could expect. The
person who is fond of tasteless beans
will find Spain paradise. In this land
of olives, those served on the table are
bitter and disagreeable, and the oil In
which everything is cooked, is uniform
ly rancid. But it should be confessed
that the oil is better than the butter.

Something seems to be the matter with
the cows. [ do not wonder that the
Spaniards are at table a temperate and
abstemious race. 1t is no merit to be

An artist friend has sent sketch
which he made OF & gargoyie, or orna-
mental rain-spout, on the cloven tower
OF Heidelberg Castle, on the Rhine.
Gargoyles, as perhaps you know, are
very common in European architecture,
and sometimes they are modelled after
some portion of the human figure, and
sometimes after parts OF animals. This
gargoyle represented q lions head. il
was carved III stone, ANA partly over
grown with vines. Years ago some
birds, tempted by the shelter Of IFS grea
open mouth, built Il nest there, which
my friend says, is mentioned by Mr.
Longfcllow in his Hyperion, q prose
book, in the chapter headed ''Intcr
lachen.'
When the artist wrote, the nest vas
still remaining in the gargoyle's mouth
Perhaps some of our readers may be
passing through Heidelberg this coming
summer, and if they stop ut the castle
they should be on the lookout for thi
queer home of a pair of birds.-St
Nicholas for May.

Out OF the elnbcrs as the flame;
Out OF the bud The blossom on

And i'll glad Summers dead and gone,
With grace and beauty none could name;

And this is the way the baby woke:
And when in deepest drops of dew
The shine and shadows sink aud ak,
The sweet eyes glimmered through and

And cGdyingS and dimples broke
About the lips, and no one knew
Orcould divine the words they spoke;
And this is the way the baby woke.

And this is the way the baby slept:
A mist of trcsscS backward thrown
By quayering sighs where kisses crept
With yearnngs she had never known:
Tho little hands were closely kept
About Il lily new blown;
And God was with her. And We wCDt:
And this is the way the baby slept

Captain Mutt, of Uniontown, Pa, whom
Dukes killed, and sister of the girl whom
the murderer slandered, saw him stand

Enraged by the sight, she caught up 4

all her strength. He first lodged be-

strength equal to the task of infiicting

Captain Holstein, of the Danish army,
has invented. for the use Of infantry
soldiers, & shield which, though weigh
ing but seven pounds, is builet-proof
and handy. 1t is of steel, twenty inches
long by eighteen broad. Two spikes at
the bottom enable the soldier to fix it
firmly in the ground, and 81 hollow at
the top can be used as a rest for his
rifle. The experiments that were made
with the shield at Copenhagen, a short
time ago, were deemed highly satisfac-
tory, but will be repeated on q laager
scale before the Danish Government de-
ci,les as TO it's adoption for the army.
