He Got Thar.

Going down the great Jackson route from Granada, Miss, aregular old homespHn native of the state en- tered the sleeping car and paid for a berth. He had never been inside of car of the klnd,. and every hinge astonished him. When the porter came to make up the beds I saw that the native was greatly perplexed, but as he made no direct appeal it wasn't t my duty to post him. He was the first one to make preparations for bed. He glanced anxiously around, pulled off one boot, and then took a rest for five minutes. When the other boot came off he had solved the problem. Pushing hIs boots under the berth he started for the rear plat form, and nothing was heard from him for about ten minutes. Then

A GirIy Girl,

A girly girl is the truest girl. She is what she seems, and not a sham and a pretence. The slangy girl has had hard job of it not to forget her character. The boy girl and the rapid girl are likewise wearers of masks. The giddy girl never bothers about woman's rights and woman's wrongs. She is is a girl, and is glad of 1t. She would not be a boy and grow up into a man and vote and go to war and puzzle her brain about stocks for a kingdom. Shesknows nothing about business and does not want to know anything about 1t. Her aim is to marry someIgood fellow and make him good wife, and she gen. erally succeeds in doing both. She delights in dress and everything that is pretty, and is not ashamed to own that she does. She Is pleased when she is admired and lets you see that she is. She is feminine from the top of her head to the end of her toes. and if you try to draw her into the discussion of dry themes she tells you squarely that the conversation does not suit her. She is the per sonifcation of frankness. There is not particle of humbug in her com position. Here is health to the girly girl. May her number never grow less.-Ex.

Mother.LOyie In Birds,

A very pretty little story comes from
ne ghboring town, and it is true. A
nest Of the orchard oriole Improperly
called the English rol,in") was discov-
cred by the owner Of the lot, whose
child wanted the young birds, and the
child was gratifed. The nest was taken
home, to the delight Of the child and
tie grief Of the parent birds, and the
hedglings were placed in cage outside
the house. To the surprise Of the par
son who put them there. he found one
day that the motherhood had discov-
cred her lost children and was feeding
them through the wires Of the cage.
This proof Of parental affection in q
was continued, till at length the person
who had removed the nest and put it in
the cage was moved to restore it to its
place on the tree, with the young birds
in it. The unbounded delight Of the
old birds proved full compensation
for the sense of his-or rather his child,s
-loss.-Hartford Times.

Where the Best Society ReiRns.

After all, in city of million and
half of people, what is society? This
great center abounds in comfortable
and happy homes, where respectable
men with money enough for all the
comforts and many Of the luxuries Of
life live happily, charmingly, incon:
houses here to support which from
$1,000 to $40, 200 q year are none too
much, in which reside merchants,
brokers, editors, lawyers. There are
also very many magnificent residences,
better called palaces, in which live
honest and intelligent people, who live
reputable and domestic lives, spending
from $4,000 to $15O,0OO . year, and
there are others equally magnificent,
in which live schemers, blackguards,
liars and thieves, who, having fattened
upon the misfortunes Of their fellows,
Haunt their wealth Extensively in the
faces Of their poorer, but better, fell
low-citizens. Outside Of these are
hundreds OF thousands Of people who
live quietly, who are never seen in pub
lie places, who are modest in their am
billions, temperate in their living,
church-goers, domestic, quiet, home

Ridicale Cannot KIN the Foolish

M0lo0to cannot k1Q the Foolish.
It is sometimes thought that satire
tends to wear itself out by destroying
the food on which it lives. II such
were the result we should miss the
familiar types Of character which are so
familiar to frequenters Of fashionable
watering places. The managing mann
ma, the weary paterfamilias, burdened
with Improbable daughters and grace
less sons, the gushing maiden and the
sentimental swell, the crusty old bach
elor, the gay widow aud the demure old
maid would cease to pose on the piazza,
gambol in the glen, or brood within
the grove. Yet year after year we see
them in the old familiar attitudes, and.
barring slight changes in dress, there
is nothing to distinguish the devotees
Of fashion Of to-day from the specimens
which first startled our boyish igno-
rance. Names change, but characters
do not; the dude" is only second
hand small-type edition of the serious
swell whom Beau Brummel knew and
laughed at. II was the reproach Of
Boswell to the macaronies, as the tops
OF his time were called, that they were
too delicate to ride, and outside of the
polo-playing, anise-bag hunters of New
port, incapacity for the saddle, unless
It be Of mutton, marks the genuine
swell OF to-day.--B0st07a Courier.

The Three Notions Of tho After.Dinna,

"What have said reminds me 81
something heard when very younr oi
Methodist clergyman in America Who
was preaching at . camp-meetinr upon

hearers, there are three motions Of the
sun: the first is the straightforward or
direct motion Of the sun; the second il
the retrogade or backward motion Of
the sun; and the third is the motion
nent .oned in our text-the sun stood
still. Now, gentlemen, I do not know
whether you see the application OF that
stcly to after dinner oratory. I hone
yon do. The after-dinner orator at first
begins and goes straightforward-that
is the straightforward motion Of the
sun. Next he goes back and begins to
repeat himself little, and that Is the
retrogade motion, or the backward mo-
ton of the sun, and at last he has the
good sense to bring himself to an end.
and that is the motion mentioned in our

Tools Used In Building the Pyramid.

0-e---e~eo
During residence Of two winters in
2 tomb at Gizeh, Mr.. w. NJ. Flinders
retrle collected evidence showing that
the tools used in working stone 4. 900
years ago were constructed with Jewel
as the cutting edge. Solid and tubular
drills, straight and circular disk saws.
and lathe tools were made with Jewels
set in metal. The lines Of cutting on
. granite core made by tubular drill
form continuous spiral, the grooves
being OF uniform depth and width
throughout, showing that the cutting
point was not worn as the work al.
vanced. The regular taper Of the core
would indicate that Jewels were also set
upon the outside and inside Of the drill.
thereby facilitating its removal. In
some specimens Of granite the drill
sank one-tenth Of an inch at each revo-
luton, and the pressure necessary 70
do this must have been from one to two
tons. The skill Of the workmen and
the capacity Of the tool are illustrated
by the clean path through both soft
and hard material-no difference in the
groove being perceptible, although il
passes from soft substance into quartz.
subjecting the tool to an enormous
strain. In plane surfaces the depth
and width OF the cuts indicate the sue
cessive stroke Of . saw, and the use OF
the circular saw is proved by the regu-
larry curved lines. The forms Of the
tools were the same that experience has
sanctioned at the present time.
The scarcity of the diamond and the
lack Of strength in the sapphire and
beryl lead to the consideration Of cor
nndum. Nothing has been found about
the metal OF which the tool was made
or the method Of setting the jewels.
