Luminous Je wells.

M. CASTOR Trouve, the we'll known
electrician of Paris, has lately designed a
serl4s of ornaments for ladies' wear con-
sisting of glass, colored and cut to initiate
rubies, diamonds, etc., fitted in an enve-
lope, surrounding small incandescent
lamp of low resistance. The light shines
through the pieces of glass only, and gives
them all the appearance Of the stone they
are intended to initiate. The lamp is fed
FROM small battery, which is carried
pairs of zinc carbon plates 1.-TWO carbons to
each zine), or larger number according
to the current required. These plates dip
in saturated solution of bichromate of
potash, which is contained in an ebonite
cell with three compartments. The plates
are fitted into cover, which is kept
securely down on the top of the cell by two
bands of India rubber passed around the
whole. Finally. the battery is encased in
two sheets of gutta percha, so as to prev
ent any leakage, A miniature switch is
carried in the pocket or elsewhere, within
reach, to which the battery and lamp
wires are connected. The pressure of a
finger on the arm of this switch makes or
breaks communication with the lamp.
The battery weighs with six plates 800
grammes, and will work about thirty mi
nutes with lamp of from 2 to volts. A
large battery, to work or volt lamp,
weighs 800 grammes.

THEORY OF LIFE.-The late Professor
Faraday adopted the theory that the ma
tural age of man is 100 years. The dura-
ton Of life he believed to be measured by
the time OF growth. In the camel the
union takes place at eight, in the horse at
ive in the lion at four, in the dog at two,
in the rabbit at one. The natural termi-
nation is five removes from these several
points.
Man being twenty years in growing, lives
five times twenty Years-that is. 100; the
camel is eight years in growing, and lives
forty years, and so with other animals.
The man who does not die of sickness
lives everywhere from so to 100 years.
The professor divides life into equal
halves-growth and decline-and these
into infancy, youth, virility. and age. In
fancy extends to the twentieth year, youth
to the fiftieth, because it is-in this period
the tissues become firm, virility from fifty
to seventy five, during which the organ
ism remains complete, and at seyenty-fve
old age commences to last a longer Or
shorter time as the diminution of reserved
forces is fastened or retarded.

The Ideal Soldier.

TRUE INwARDNEss OF BRAVERY ON
THE BATTLEFIELD.
Archibald Forbes in the Fortnightly
ReUieD:
Well. what is the need of describing the
ideal soldier, seeing that, because of fallen
human nature, he is all but an impossibili-
ty? But, as the mauraudlng ny ank"
philOsopbically remarked to Gen. Sher-
! man:
You can't expect all the cardinal vir-
tues, uncle, for $13 q MONTH"
No. but you Can get good many of the
simpler virtues for less money. There is
not much subtlety about the ordinary run
of martial virtues. My own belief, found
ed on some experience of divers of all ma
tionalities in war time. is that most men
are naturally towards. l have the fullest
belief IN the force of the colonel's retort
on his major:
Colonel" said the major, in hot fire,
''you are afraid; can see you tremble I"
Yes. sir,' replied the colonel, land if
you were as afraid as l am you would run
away"
do think three out of four men would
run away if they dared. There are doubt
less some men whom nature has consti-
tuted 80 obtuse as not to know fear, and,
who, therefore, deserve no credit for their
courage; and there are others with nerves
so strong as to crush down the rising
''funk." The madness of blood does get
into mems heads, no doubt. 1 have the
frmest conviction that in cold blood the
most of US would prefer the air quiet
rather than whistllng with bullets.
Most men are like the colonel of the
dialogue-they display bravery because in
the presence of their comrades and of the
danger they are TOO great towards to evlnce
poltroonery. Thus the average man made
a capital soldier in the old shoulder-to-
shoulder days.
British handicraftsmen German bakers
French peasants and artisans were all
pretty much alike made crditable ''cannon
fodder" They would march into IRE and
thole its sting, each mans right and left
comrades reactiDg on him, and his rear
file at once supporting and blocking him.
In the fire the national idiosyncrasies
developed themselves. The funk" zone
SO to speak, had been traversed, and the
Briton marched on steadily, the German
advanced with slower step, the Russian
stood still doggedly. and the Frenchman
spurted into run with yell. When the
blood began to flow and the struck men
went down the passion of the battle be-
came the all absorbing question.
And 30, whether by greater or less stead
fastness, or greater or less dash, the battle
was won or lost. Till the eliminating
point no man ever was thrown wholly
upon his own individuality or even lost
the consciousness of public opinion as
represented by his comrades.

And gathered in her hand
A little robe of puffs and lace,
With an embroidered band
see her smile hear her sing
low. sweet lullaby;
And oft. see thought of Joy,
Light up her bright blue eye
1t is a robe for her dear child,
To be chrlsten'd in!
There lies across the mothers knee,
And gather'd in her hand
A Silken robe, with puffs of lace,
And an embroidered band.
IT'S white, and like cloud at eve,
That floats across the sky;
But oh, hear the mother give,
An oftrepeated sigh.
1t is robe for her dear child,
To be welded in!
There lies across the mothers knee,
And gaher'd in her hand,
A robe of softest wool; but it
Has no embroider band.
And on her cheeks, so wan and pale,
The mothers tears see,
And hear her pray, Lord. give me strength,
Oh! give Thy strength to me!
1t is robe for her dear child,
To be buried in!

How Men Can Live Unmarried.

A Salem, Fauquier correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gazette writes:
During Christmas your correspondent
took the home of two old bachelor friends
for his headquarters-a home where books
reigned supreme. Histories and essays,
by all the ancient and modern English
and American writers, lay on chairs.

mixed with them.
Now and then Latin, Greek or French
classic, showed the thorough cultivation
and tastes of the two cronies.
During the Gay they would visit the girls
and hunt-both of them were excellent
shots, bagging the game almost every fire;
returning home to a most excellent sup
per, cooked by one or the other of them;
they have done all their own house
keeping for years.
One evening the supper was SO very well
served and in such great variety that l
incidentally remarked, How can you af-
ford to live so luxuriously?" why"
said they almost in one voice, I'VE live on
twenty-five dollars a year." "Ilow?
How? Tell me the secret -
Taking out my pencil, they told off to
me item after item, from diary, strictly
kept year or two ago, as follows:
For livelihood they rented a small
farm, having good grist mill on it, and
occasionally one or the other would work
for the farmers around by the day, one
housekeeping, paying the rent by giving
share of the proceeds of both farm and
mill.

WHITEWAsH THAT WILL STICK Tho
Annapolis Gazette gives the following as
whitewash that will 'stick," indoors and

say one peck of lime, and while hot and at
the thickness of cream, add quart of lin

stand half day before using. Rains will
not wash it off, nor will it prove such a

is the first question that strikes your

transpired since the Republican party
