During the Centennial exhibition the
United States building was the scene
of an amusing blundcr which, however
taught one lady the necessity of
caution. The government had dressed
a number of wooden statues, 50 carved
and painted as to resemble soldiers and
sailors in the various uniforms of the
army and navy. So lle-like were
these dummies that hundreds
paused to admire them, and among
others the ladies. "Just see that one
theren' said one of the ladies. "Why,
| should almost think it alivc." and
she poked the nose Of the supposed
"dummy.' Imagine her consterna-
tion when it deliberately turned around
and walked stiflly away. She had mis-
taken an army officer for dummy"
In machinery hall was exhibited a
machine for vcntilating mines. 1T
sent Il powerful current Of air through
Il pipe six inches in diameter. A mov-
able nozzle, funnel-shaped, enabled the
boy-operator to turn the current in
any direction. A flag was hung up at
distance of fifteen feet from the
machine. So strong was the current
of air when directed against the flag,
that it would hang out at right angles
from the pole as if blown by Il gale
The mischieVous boy, not content to
blow the flag, sometimes sent breeze
among the spectators. A man with u
broad-brimmed hat and long brown
hair was leaning over the railing and
pecring at the machine. The boy
sent u current against the flag and
then TUNED the blast. which acci-
dentally fell full upon the unfortunate
stranger. The result was an unlock
ed-for catastrophe; the hat and brown
locks went sailing away and left bare
a head as smooth and round as q
pumpkin. The man ran after his
truant hat and wig; the boy dropped
the nozzle and fled, thinking, doubt
less that severe penalty awaited
him for having scalped a man with
a gust of wind.

1t is well known that in soil where
lime abounds, dead bodies are foSSiIizcd
in few years, or even few months,
after burial. In soil where there is nc
lime, there are sometimes other ele
ments which often preserve the fea
lures of Il buried body unchanged fol
many years. The philoSophic Hamlet
musing by an old grave over the fact
that man turns into dust, and dust into
earth, eXclaims:
"Imperial Cmsar, dead and turned to clay
Might stop hole to keep the wind away!
But what would have been his mus
ings if he had stood beside the disin-
tered body of his father and seen brow
and form appearing aSnatural as when
he gave 1.-THE world assurance of a
man. Yet this might have been, for
there are numerous cases on record
where bodies disinterred for removal
after years of intermcnt, have been
found to be as well preserved as if they
had been only Il few days dead. Cen
eral Washington's features We're quite
perfect when his body was taken up to
be put in the sarcophaguS, where they
now repose. The same was true of
General Wayne, when his body was re-
moved forty years after death; and of
Robert Burns, twenty-0ne years after
burial But it seems almost incredible
that the body of John lIampden, who
was disinterred POO years after death,
should have been in similar state of
preservation. But Lord Nugent re-
cords the fact. His word is not to be
questioned. Possibly the most remark.
able fact of all these eases is that the
bodies crumbled to heap of dust soop
after exposure.

WHOLE NO. 2ll5.

Christians, took our Bible for theil
book, and claimed that if their insur-
rection succeeded it would be substi
tuted for the writings of Confucius
and LaO-t2c.
The ancient Egyptians had forty
two sacred books in five classes, con
tanning hymns in praise Of the gods,
instructions in morals, religious rites,
the education Of priests and related
matters.
The Greek and Roman mythology
had no sacred hooks, unless certain pO-
ctical works may be taken for such.
The two Eddas set forth the mythOl-
ogy of the Norsemen, or ancient
Scandinavans. They originated in
Iceland, the poetic Or elder Edda com
prising thirty-seven religious poems of
religious and heroic history, and the
younger or prose Edda giving full
synopsis Of the Morse mythology. The
term "Edda" means "great grand
mother" Both these collections date
long after Christ.
This is pretty full list of the books
of sacred or semi-sacred character
known to the world, except the Bible
of the Jews and that of the Christ

Always keep an enemy on hand, a
'riSk, hearty, active enemy. Remark
he use of an enemy:
|. The having of one is proof that
'ou are somebody. Wishy-washy, emp
y, worthless people never have enc.
nies. Men who never move, never
'un against anything; and when a man
s thoroughly dead and utterly buried
nothing ever runs against him.
:. An enemy is, to say the least, not
partial to you. He will not hatter. He
will not cXaGgcrate your virtues. 1t is
very probable that he will slightly
magnify your faults. The benefit of
hat is two-fold. 1t permits you to
know that you have faults and are
therefore, not Il monster; and it makes
hem of such size as to be visible and
manageable.
}. In addition your enemy keeps
1Ou wide-awake. He does not let YOU
sleep at your post. There are two that
always keep watch, namely, the lover
and the ,hater. Your lover watches
mat you may sleep, He keeps off
loises, excludes light, adjusts sur
,oundings, that nothing may disturb
rou. Your hater watches that YOU
may not sleep. lie Stirs' you up when
you are mapping. lie keeps your fac
nlties on the alert Even when he
toes nothing, he will have put you in
'uch state of mind that you cannot
ell what he will do next.
t. lie is detective among your
friends You need to know who your
friends are, and who are not, and who
ere your enemies, When your enemy
goes to one who is neither friend nor
enemy, and aSsails you, the Indifferent
one will have nothing to say or chime
in, not because he is your enemy, but
because it is 50 much easier to assent
than oppose, and especially than to re-
lute. But your friend will take up
cudgels for you on the instant. He
will deny everything and insist on
proof, and proving is very hard work.

A Wonderful Spring.

About two miles southwest of Bic
Springs, Texas, the spring from which
the town derives its name is situated
AT the foot of a large cliff will be found
q hole of perhaps 100 feet in circum-
ference and about 90 feet in depth
The Texas and Pacific Company have
in engine at work pumping water
from the spring all the time, but the
supply is almost ineXhaustible. There
seems TO be subterranean river which
lows just beneath the spring. and
From this the vast supply Of water
comes. Several wagon loads of buffalo
bones have been removed from the
spring. The water flows in an adue-
duct to the town, and is used by the
citizens of the place.

The Order of Nature,

If you shake up basket of fruit o.
of gravel the smaller portions will go
toward the bottom,t the larger ones will
come toward the top. This is the
order of nature. There is no way of
eyading it. And the same order pre-
walls in the basket of human life. The
worlds shaking will send the small
characters downward and bring the
larger ones toward the top. The larger

smaller ones have no right to complain
of it. 1t is the shaking that does
the business.

The Shadow of the WOrkingman,

Behold yon swiftly flying boat!
In conscious might it stcams along;
With graceful lines and powerful frame,
ltproudly bears its living throns.
10 distant lands it plows It's way,
And to the many wealth doth bring;
lis tidings from the absent friends
Are welcome as the smiling spring.
You sec ii cleave the restless wave,
Andknow old ocean's space twill span;
But, cast DER all, can you behold
The shadow Of the wolkingman
See, on the locomotive rush
With headlons speed DER iron road,
Like living, breathing monster, whom
some unseen powers onward goad,
Through cities, towns, and shady dells,
Ger gnlging streams and woodland glades,
1t speeds you on with cang and roar;
Ay, meath mountains gloomy shades,
With ease it quickly bears along
Pilgrims of every tribe and clan;
But DER each tlectng view dost SEQ
The shadow of the workirgman?
Come, gaze upon this mighty pile,
The spre of which in coudland dwclls
Kissed by the sinking suns last ray
AS gently chime the distant bells;
Come view its granGy-massive walls,
It's pillars, halls and arches true,
Which are so neatly, deity wrought,
Without one flaw to meet the view.
Der all this blended strength and grace
As round it zcphyrs gently fan,
Can yon not see, in outline bold,
The shadow OF the workingman2
10 seek the lofty mountain hight,
And there behold the glowing scene
The forest, field and waving grain,
The rppIing lakes the meadows green
Each beauty OF the prospect vidw,
All throngcd with busy, useful life,
Where once the gloomy wilds were seen,
Where savage rcves once were rife.
10, look upon all earth's broad face,
Rcp'cte with art and natures plan;
And there, in bold relief you'll see
The shadow of the workingnun.

Theatrical Tricks.

playing the piece and had circus
rider made up to look like him to do
the riding. OF course the audience
supposed the rider to be the star. In
those days the runs up the mountain
were elaborately arranged, and the
flight of the wild horse was u startling
incident. One night the horse fell
with the rider, crashing from the flies
to the stage. The curtain was rung
down, and presently the star was led
before it, staggering as though badly
injured, and said that, in spite of the
fall, he would endeavor to finish the
play. And he did so, amid frantic
applause. The poor wretch of a rider
lay IN the hospital for four weeks.
