A Pleasant Surprise.

\ merry company of friends assem-
BLEED last evening at the residence OF
Rev. A. A johnson on Lamar street
The occasion was the prest ntation of &
fine gold watch and chain from hi,
many friends. The surprise was com
plete. An impromptu literary society
was organized with Mrs. w. ID
Knowles OF Dallas rs president. Rev
Z. II. Bodkin was called upon Tor 8
poem, and he presented the following
mans indeed sorry wight,
Who can't DO happy here tonight
W he g mlrth and wit and thought profound
And woman's beauty, all abound,
AVaunt, dun care. let sorrow flee
Nor mar our merry company.
Mine host. the parson, grave and gay
by times ard sea ons- just the way
1t serves Us all. both small and great
Going up a, such a rate
That we, his friends, feel duty bound
To call halt and stake him down"
Now Just The way the thing is done
Has puzzled many an Older ono
Than you or me, for age and skill
Have tussel'd at him with a Will
But all have failed-poor, heluless things
TO catch the bird or clip his wings.
Had | c time n tale I'd tell.
How slv we've played 1t. aud how well
The thing was done r., IN tirst 10 last;
Aud when the dead ordeal Is passed
All will agree that we're the boys
To catch the parsop, without noise.
Our work is finished without fail
We've had de ectives on his track;
He's shadowe,i, watch ed aud hunted down,
And soon the news Will spread through
town
nor can he scarce believe his eyes,
'Tis such bewiidering surprise.
Then Prof L. M. White was called
upon for speech, and made the fol-
lowing eloquent presentation speech:
Rev. A. A. Johnson-dea friend
and brother: The honor and pleasure
have been granted me of expressing 70
you the good wishes, congratulations
and appreciation of your valuable
counsrls and energetic efforts on be-
half OF the workings OF the church,

Progress i'm Electrical Science.

Perhaps we have arrived at that
stage in our study of electricity where
our instruments are too coarse to en-
able us to extend our Investigations.
Yet how delicate and efficient they are!
Compare the instruments employed by
Franklin, and even by Faraday, with
those which are in constant use to-day
in our physical laboratories. Frank
lin, by the utmost effort of his magma
ton, could not conceive, probably, of
mirror-galvanometer that can detect
the electrical action of drop of dis
titled water on two so-called chemically
pure platinum plates, or of q machine
that can develop from the feeble mag
netism of the earth current suffi-
GENTLY strong to light the city of Phila-
delphia. Let him who wanders among
the historical physical instruments of
many of our college collections stand
before the immense FRACTIONAL electrical
machine of Franklin's day, or gaze
upon the rude electrometers and
galvanometers of that time, and con-
trast Franklin machine with the small
Toepler-Holtz electrical machine which
with tenth of the size gives spark
lSh llihcS do SbiOhS 90 Il i"hhhh . VI
the electrometers and galvanometers of
Faraday with the mirror-galvanometers
and electrometers of Sir William
Thompson. Yet, at the same time, let
such an observer think of the possibili-
ties of the next fifty years, for the adj
vance of science is not in simple pro-
portion to the time, and the next fifty
years will probably see far greater
advance than the one hundred years
since the date of Franklin's electrical
work has seen. Is not the state of our
imagination like that of the shepherd
boy who lies upon his back, looking up
at the stars of heaven, and trying to
imagine what is beyond the starsp The
only conclusion is that there is some
thing far more than we have ever be-
held.-Prof. John TroUbrtdge, in Popu-
Tar Science Monthly.

Tattooing Among Alaska Indians.

A man who had passed mnch time in
trapping and hunting in Alaska says:
Although the Yukon Indians have
abandoned many of their old customs,
under the teaching of occasional mis-
sionaries, all of them still keep to the
queer habit of tattooing. The way
they do this is different from any L
ever saw or heard of. Instead of prick
ing the stuff in with sharpened bones
or needles, they make paste out of
charcoal and grease, soak a thread in
1t, punch needle through the flesh so
that it comes out at different hole
from the one where it entered, and then
draw the thread through under the
skin. The operation is painful, for the
flesh swells up and looks very much in
hamed. Men tattoo only their hands
and wrists with the pictures of the mob
Ter animals or fish, but the women tat
too their faces also. These latter begin
the process when they are quite young,
making birds, turtles, or some other in
significant things on their hands and
wrists, while they draw lines of differ
emit kinds on their chins and the lower
part of their cheeks. As a rule, this
tattooing Is done entirely in blue, but
now and then there is an Indian who
has dotted red spots through the blue.

The Lake OF Como.

The fate of things of beauty is TO be-
come hackneYed. The choicest poetry
and music are repeated until everybody
is tired of them; the master pieces OF
art are vulgarized by constant repro
duction, and even the beauties of Ma
ture lose their freshness by being over
run and over praised. The lake of
Como has come to be mere by-word
for beauty; it can hardly be mentioned
without an apology. yet it is impossi-
bic to pass by the Helen of Italian wa
tiers in silence. Many mountains,
streams, and cascades have an individ-
uality of their own the presence of the
unseen genius loci is felt, often uncon-
sciously, by mankind. One might sup
pose that this influence would be strong
est where Natures haunts are still in
violate, among solitary peaks and path
less woods; but for me, at least, the
lake of Como possesses il in the high
est degree,-a personality so distinct
and feminine that beautiful woman
might be jealous of it. The charm does
not lie exclusively in the scenery, but
is a composite result Of climate, atmos-
phere, cultivation, and also, in a sub
tie, unrecognized way, of the works Of
art which are scattered along its shores.
The lake of Como is no mountain
nymph, but is like Titian's Venus lying
naked on magnificent couch with
pearls braided in her hair.
The sheet of water il shaped like a
long fish with cloven tail, the three
portions being of about equal size, the
lower ones divided by broad wedge
of land, the base of which to the south
ward, is known as the Brianza, the
point being the promontory of Bella
gio. Each has its characteristics; the
two lower bays or branches are called
respectively the. lakes of Lecco and
Como, the latter giving its name and
fame to the whole expanse. There are
none of the grand and rugged features
Of Lago Maggiore here; the prospect
Is soft and alluring, embellished by two
thousand years of cherishing care. The

DIR. Forbes Winslow tells story of
how presence of mind saved his own
life on one occasion in his lunatic asy-

door behind him. He asked the patient
few questions, when she suddenly in
terrupted the conversation, producing

urally, the doctor was taken u little
aback, for the lady was abnormally
strong and had already advanced to ex-
ecute her purpose. "Just one mo-

For some time the Capitol at Wash.
ington has been lighted with electric
lights. 1t is now found that the build
ing presents most untidy appearance,
owing to the fact that myriads of all
kinds of insects have been attracted by
the lights, and have killed themselves
by striking against the dome. Bushels
of May-tlies, beetles, crickets, carvings,
dragon flies, grasshoppers, caddis-flies,
bees, wasps, ants, hornets, butterflies,
moths, cicadas, froghoppers, plant lice,
water beetles, whirligigs, shippers,
horned midgets, gnats, mosquitoes,
and every species of insect known to
the surrounding swamps and woods of
the District have met their death in
this way.
