American Fiction.

Although we have had no great mas
ter of fiction since Hawthorne; although
our best novelists attempt nothing OF
the first moment, and our more ambl-
tious novelists never quite succeed when
they aim high, yet in the writers OF the
second and third rank we find, mixed
with many imperfections and never Ell
fectively combined, some OF the rarest
of literary qualities. In one or another
we recognize nearly all the merits that
u good novel quires-or originality or
the positive character, Imagination.
poetcal sensibility, humor, wit, dra-
matte force, keen observation, narrative
and descriptive power, analytical subj
lety. vivid portraiture. Unfortunately
nobody has more than one or two OF
these qualities, and in most eases eX-
cellence of conception or OF style IS
married by a lack of that constructive
skill which resembles the aptitude of a
trained workingman, and is so common
in the minor English novelists. But
even when account is made of all de-
fects, the fact remains that American
fiction has lately exhibited 4 vitality
and richness which must soon attract
the remark of the literary world.
American society already abounds
with themes for the novelist. 1t is full
of strange contrasts and effective types.
1t offers an endless variety of eccentric
character and dramatic situation. 1t
has become complex, vivacious and
picturesque. II moves in the midst of
superb scenery. 1t is in contact with
all the world; and it combines the free
dom and the limitations, the personal
independence and some of the conven-
tiona restrictions of the old civilization
and its new product. Many of our
writers have discovered that it is much
more tempting field than any they can
find abroad, and have perceived also the
mode of treatment which promises
the most striking and immediate re-
suits. That is satire. There isno mod
ern life which offers such temptations
to caustic pen rs ours, because there
is none whose faults and follies are so
open and so general, and touch so easily
the springs of laughter. And the pic
ture which the true satirist draws OF III
is not the repulsive disclosure of hope
less corruption and decay, but the eX-
hibition, half humorous and half angry,
of absurdities and weakness which
spring rather from sudden prosperity
and other transient material conditions,
than from any essential loss of national
character. N. Y Tribune.

one shade evenly over the surface.
The paper is then caught up in loops
carried by an endless chain over steam
pines, being completely dried in its
tourney of about 500 feet, and then
reeled up for printing. A second trip
takes it over Il large cylinder, having u
series of nicely-adjusted rollers, each
one printing separate pattern and
color The rollers are of wood and the
patterns are skillfully cut in brass on
their surfaces. The drying process is
then repeated, and if gold or bronze is
used in the pattern, the paper, in its
progress by the endless chain, passes
through an auxiliary machine, which
deposits gold or bronze dust on parts
that have been printed with varnish,
instead of color. In expensive papers
sometimes dozen different colors are
used. When finished the paper is
reeled into rolls of eight yards or
double rolls of sixteen yards.

as only small part of the paper can re-

great care is necessary, the stamping

of twelve colors each in q day, man
can print only 100 rolls of one color.

Tools Used in Building the Pyramids.


During residence of two winters in
tomb at Gizeh, Mr.. w. NJ. Flinders
Petrie collected evidence showing that
the tools used in working stone 1000
wears ago were constructed with a jew
ell as the cutting edge He stated his
reasons for coming to this conclusion
in paper read before the AnthropO-
logical Institute, resume of which is
published in recent issue of Engineer
ing, of London. Solid and tubular
drills. straight and circular disk saws,
and lathe tools were made with jewels
set in metal. The lines of cutting on q
granite core made by tubular drill
form a continuous spiral, the grooves
being of 4 uniform depth and width
throughout, showing that the cutting
point was not worn Is the work advanc'
ed. The regular taper of the core would
indicate that jewels were also set upor
the outside and inside of the drill, there
by facilitating its removal. In some
specimens of granite drills sunk one
tenth of an inch at each revolution. anC
the pressure necessary to do this mus
have been from one to two tons. Tit
skill of the workmen and the capacity
of the tool are illustrated by the clear
path through both soft and hard mate
rial-po difference in the groove bein;
perceptible, although it passes from :
soft substance into quartz, subjectins
the tool to an enormous strain. Ii

the cuts indicate the successive stroke
OF saw, and the use of the circular
saw is proved by the regularly curved
lines. The forms of the tools were the
same that experience has sanctioned ct
the present time.
The scarcity of the diamond and the
lack of strength in the sapphire and
beryl lead to the consideration of corun.
dun. Nothing has been found about
the metal OF which the tool was made
or the method of setting the jewel.

Mans Age.

Few men die of old age. Almost
all die of disappointment, passion,
mental or bodily toll, or accident
The common expression, "choked with
passion" has little exaggeration in it.
for even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men often die young weak
men often live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength, and
the weak have none to use. The lat
ter take care of themselves and the
former do not. As it is with the BODY
so it is with the mind and temper
The strong are apt to break, or like a
candle, to run the wick to run out.
The inferior animals that live temper.
ate lives have generally their prescri-
bed number of years. The horse lives
Is; the OK Is or 20; the dog 10 or
IL; the rabbit 8; the guinea pig 6 or
7 years. These numbers all bear a
similar proportion to the time the an
NAL takes to grow its full size. But
man, Of all the animals, is one that
seldom lives this average. He ought
to live 100 years, according to physi-
cal law, for five times 20 is 100, but
instead Of that he scarcely reaches on
an average four times his growing Pc
riod, the cat six times, and the rabbit
even eight times the standard of mea-
surement. The reason is obvious /;
man is not only the most irregular
and Incorporate, but the most labori-
GUS and hard worked of all animals.
