They All Knew How.

took large spider from his web
under the basement of a mill, put him on
a chip, and set him aAoat On the quiet
waters of the pond. He walked all
about the sides of his bark, surveying
the situation very carefully, and when
the fact that he was really afioat and
about yard from shore seemed to be
fully comprehended. he prospected for
the nearest loint OF land. This point
fairly settled upon, he Immediately be-
gan to cast a web Tor it. He threw it
as far as possible i'll the air with the
wind. 1t soon reached the. shore, and
made fast to the s ]lres Of grass Then
he turned himself about, and III true
sailor fashion began to haul III hand
over hand on his cable. Carefully he
drew upon it until his bark began to
move toward the shore. As it moved
the faster he the faster drew upon it to
keep his hawser taut, and from touch
ing the water. Very soon he reached
the shore, and quickly leaping to terra
tirma, he sped his way homeward.
Thinking that he might be special
expert, and an exception in that line
of workmanship to the rest Of his
companions, I tried several of them,
and they all came to shore in like man.

Our Principal Pineries.

The principal pineries of the United
States are in Maine, the northern parts
of New York, Michigan, and Minnesota,
Montana, Washington Territory, Ore
gon and California; in Mississippi,
Alabama, Florida, Western Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina; in
West Virginia, and the western part of
Virginia and Pennsylvania. The pitch
pine prevails in North and South Caro-
lima, Alabama, and Mississippi. It is
very generally believed that the inhala-
ton of the odor of the pitch pine woods
is beneficial to consumptlves and per-
sons afflicted with catarrh. The eli

particularly in the Atlantic States, is
also favorable to such persons.-Chi-

Employment Essential to Happiness.

Employment Essential to Happiness.
It may be laid down as an incontro-
vertible principle that no family can be
happy without employment-regular,
diversified, continually recurring en-
ployment. There may be the posses
sion Of wealth, there may be an ample
and beautiful domain. there may be
everything externally to enjoy, but un-
less there be an appropriate and varied
employment to occupy the body, en-
gross the mind, and awaken the ener-
gies, there cannot be happiness. 1t is
the active, Industrious, persevering
family that is the truly happy family ;
not the idle, the slothful, the useless
not the family that has no definite plan,
no fixed and important object, no per-
sonal and collective energy.

Thumbs.

lQUulDSs
If ANYBODY will look carefully at the
end of his thumb he will find that the
surface is ridged with little thread like
ranges of hills wound round and round
in tiny spirals II he will take magni-
fying glass and examine them closely he
will tind that there is great deal of
individuality in the way which these are
are exactly alike. The miniature noun
tain ranges are AS fixed and decided as
the Alps and the S;erras; the geogra-
ply Of the thumb is unmistakable
Nothing short Of mutilating or burning
the thumb can obliterate its features.
Sometimes ghastlv proof of guilt is
punished-amurderer, red-handed with
his crime, may touch his fingers
ends upon a white wall, and so leave
in the 'olor of his guilt photograph
on the accusing wall. His signature IS
left Just rs Enthusiastically as if he had
signed the bond of his iniquity, and thus
great crimes have been brought to light
and deeds OF blood made to tell their
own hi tory. But this individuality in
the skin of the tip Of the thumb. strong
ly marked rs it is, yet admits of strong
family likeness Brothers and sisters
who will take impressions of their
thumbs will find resemblances among
each other that they will not find
when comparing them with the
thumbs OF strangers. Even thus mi
nutely does that strange thing-fam.ly
likeness descend What wonder is
it that the faces look alike, voices
sound alike; how can it seem strange
that members of the same family
should have similarities of temper, Of
mental aptitude and hereditary diseases,
when such minor peculiarities Is the
texture at the end Of the thumb, and
its ranges OF hills, should also have
family resemblances in the midst of the
infinite diversities. THE hairs of our
head are numbered" and not only so,
but each hair if examined with a power
ful magnifying glass shows peculiarities
as strong as the trees of a forest. Notwo

est to the greatest. is impressed with
q specific character and individuality.
The Creator invention is exhaustless,
and He no more repeats Himself III che
geography of thumb than in the geog-
raphy of a continent. Now ii anybody
doubts this, let him take little black
or aniline color, and try. He will
acquire an acquaintace with his thumb
and respect for it that will he quite in

Sensltiveness.

The charm of not being sensitive is
that one is thereby saved much pain.
There is, indeed, foolish sensitive
ness which springs only from vanity.
This deserves but little sympathy, un-
less the sufferer be very young; for by
the time that maturity is reached man
ought to have got sufficiently rid of his
vanity not to be tortured thereby. Then
there is the more rational sensltiyeness
which proceeds from an exquisite per-
ception of the proper relation of things,
and is united with the most delicate
tact and kindly consideration for 9TH
ers. The man who possesses this kind
of sensitiveness will often feel pro-
foundly for others who do not feel for
themselves. He will blush and vince
at an indignity offered to friend, or
even to one who has no special claim
upon his affection. This subtle psychic
logic quality is at once q powerful,
pleascrable, useful, and most un-
happy gift. 1t is powerful because it is
asubstitute for that seer-like talent
which enables man to read the souls
OF his brethren. It is pleasurable be-
cause it provides the person in whom it
inheres with exquisite thrills when any
noble thought or action or any grand
work OF art is presented to his contem-
piation. It is useful because it bestows
a certain knowledge of life and charac-
ter independent of that acquired by
personal experiences. And it is un-
happy because it compels its possessor
to sympathize too universally with the
miseries not of friends exclusively, but
of all sentient creatures.
The sensitiveness of small people is
another affair altogether. The woman
who quarrels with her friend because
the latter received an invitation which
the former did not, and men and wom-
en- in general who cannot endure, with
ont sharp pangs of envy, some small
supremacy, social or professional. OBJ
tanned by an acquaintance-these are
fair instances Of petty sensitiveness.
The worst of it is that small natures
like these have nobody to educate them,
to help to enlarge them. Large nat
ures can educate themselves. After
years of turbulence and struggle they
can attain that supreme and superb
calm which nothing ruffles. Not that
the grand sensitiveness which renders
their perception of misery, small aud
great, has wholly died out, but that the
emotions have become trained By the
intellect. and that vast serene resigna-
nation reigns which is born of recog-
milton of the inevitable. Possibly re-
ligious faith may be united with this
condition; but, if SO, it is not the faith
rooted in conventional theology, but
that which is the outcome of an intelli-
gent contemplation of the economy of
the universe, so far Us we can see it

to be sure, who are opposed to it.

Expert Counterfeit;ns.

u. S. Detective w G.. Bauer. who
secured the arrest and conviction of the
celebrated counterfeiter Martin Ogle,
recently explained TO a reporter of the
Louisville Post the processes of this
accomplished fclon which certainly dis
play wonderful amount of ingenuity
and delicate workmanship
Ogle mad procured q genuine $40 bill
and split this in halves. this being in
itself a remarkable operation. The two
sheets thus made were so thin that they
were transparent. He made plate of
copper and brass. q little larger than
the bill, and spread one of the sheets
on top of it. With a steel tracing pen
Gil of his own manufacture he engraye ed
through the sheet its exact counterpart
on the plate. The other half was en-
grayed on different plate in a similar
manner, and then he was ready for
printing his spurious money. This
method of Workmanship looks very
simple, but it is the first time it has
been done by countcrfeiter, as it is
almost impossible to split the bill.
The method always before used is as
follows: The workman took, say, Il
$40 bill, and spread over it a piece of
transparent gclatine paper, and traced
the figures of the former on the latter
The metal plate was next put in use.
and was coated with solution Of
shellac. On this the gelatine was past
ed, and when torn off it left on the
shcllac the outline of its figures. BY
following these in the solution they
were also traced in delicate lines on the
plate. The shellac then being washed
off the latter they could be cut TO the
right depth, and the counterfeiter was
ready for his work. Ogle's method
obviated these three or four methods
and rendered the engraving on the
plate far more accurate. rs the correct
ness of the lines was necessarily lost
through so many transfers. This man
thus accomplished piece of work
alone and unaided, with tools of his
own manufacture, when the National
Government paid over 100000 for a
steam machine TO do the same thing.
Detective Bauer showed 0glc's tools,
which were fitted to rough wooden
handles, but possessed points as sharp
as steel. He also displayed the genuine

transparent He had on a table several
packages of bills of Oglc's manufacture,
amounting in all to $4,000, in tens
and twenties. They were all on the
Third National Bank of Cincinnati, but
the new plates were intended for the
Queen City Bank.
..Oglc, said Detective Bauer, lis the
first man who has issued any spurious
money during the last six years, and
he has shown an almost unexampled
skill and astuteness. His brother, who
has been returned to the Pennsylvania
Penitentiary, knew nothing about this
workmanship. but was merely Il kind
of head servant 10 Martin. The latter
did all his work on ilatboat, and scat
tered the money chiefly at river points.
He turned over to me in all $50, 900 of

Deaf Left Ears.

"Will you be good enough to let me
walk at your other sidepn said gem
tleman to a companion with whom he
was crossing the City-Hall Park. II am
deaf in my left ear, and have been
trying for five minutes TO get at your
left side, so that might hear what you
say; but you seem to have been endea-
voring to prevent me-
Why, of course / have, was the
reply. ~, too, am deaf in the left ear,
and if we change sides could not hear
aword you said.n
Both gentlemen looked astonished,
and went on their way laughing.
There is nothing unusual in such an
experience, y said New York aurist.
1.-The left ear is peculiarly liable to
deafness or partial loss of hearing. An
immense number of persons rely
wholly, or in great measure, upon the
right ear to do the duty of two, and it
very soon becomes trained to fully bear
the pressure placed upon it, Persons
who have been long deprived of the
left ear can usually hear sounds at a
distance far more distinctly than those
whose hearing is divided between two
ears, owing to the peculiar sharpness
acquired by the solitary organ, which
is seldom alphabetically affected.
1.-The only Inconvenience / know of
in the loss of hearing by the left ear is
when one is walking with a lady, or
driving friend in a buggy, or other
wise so situated that you cannot easily
get your sound ear toward them. But
for constant traveller, such as drum
mer, such an atfiiction is invaluable.
Nonoise in a hotel can keep him awake
at night. He has only to press his good
ear to the pillow, and what can disturb
p''-Neag York.
