Imagine yourself at the summit OF
a slope six hundred feet in height. and
let at an angle of sixty degrees. For a
long distance it falls sheer as a night
mare, dazzling white. each little grain
of the snow scintillating like dia-
mond. You straighten your toboggan's
head. and your lady companion bestows
herself in the bow. tucking her skirts
tightly around her dainty feet, and
drawing her nubia down TO shield her
ewes and face. You ensconce Yourself
behind her: on one hip if you will, with
the other foot trailing as a rudder;

A HINT TO BUILDERS.


Over-Ornamentation In Brickwork Con-
denned by aConnoisseur.
1.-The desire for the ornate has given
rise of late to the most elaborate and
fantastic attempts in bricks and in the
methods of putting them together. "
said real estate agent yesterday. In
many cases of newly built houses this
matter has frequently been the occasion
for the display of bad taste in the eree-
ton of a cheap, fiashy and wonderfully
designed wall. While this. when new,
is not unsightly to the average eye, the
wear and tear of the elements on the
various projections, inches, balconies
and the like render the exterior appear
ance of such q house much more un-
slightly in . given time than that of a
building of q more substantial and less
startling appearance.
THE various projections and receSses
form a convenient place for dust and dirt
constantly blown about, and to add to
this damage the ornamental brickwork
of the cornices offers snug abode for
that numerous little pest, the English
sparrow. When the white deposit, so
common TO brick buildings, makes Its
appearance the dinginess and general
air of past glory and damaged splendor
is increased. If builders would only
recognize the fact that the effort spent
in this direction would be better appre-
ciated if directed toward the interior
finish of house the result would be adj
vantageous in many ways.-Pks!adeI-

TAKING LIMBS OF THE LAW.
How Young Lawyers in Baltimore are Inn
posed Upon.

posed Upon.
81 understand" said q well-known
court officer yesterday, ''that-but let
me tell you a story. Once upon a
time, say forty years ago. there was an
old lady christened Nell Gwynn by the
boys. She sold apples, cakes, ETC.,
about the courts. Young lawyers were
scarce in those days. but the young
lawyers then were rich. One day Old
Nell took it into her head to tax all the
young lawyers five dollars on their adj
mittance to the bar. / have said the
BOYS were rich; they were also gener-
Gus. and when Old Nell made the prop
osition they simply laughed and COM
piled with the old lady's fancy. The
practice continued during Old Nel's
lifetime, and many a five dollar note
crept into her purse. Then Pether-
bridge. the crier of the Supreme Bench,
thought it was a good field to cultivate.
and the young lawyers of his time were
induced to follow the example of their
predecessors. the limbs of the law OF
Old Nell's time. So the custom, not a
law. continued. with this difference,
however, that the fine is not exacted.
Now. the young lawyers are not scarce,
neither are they rich; but they possess
one attribute of those preceding them
they are proud. And while some of
their class can still well afford TO shell
out the five dollars which it has grown
up to be the custom TO present 10 the
crier. he others generally follow suit
because their pride will not permit
them to refuse the contribution"
But what did you start to say?"
asked the reporter to whom the story
was related.
"Oh," was the response. 81 was go
ing to remark that had heard that "a
reform judges were upon the bench. a
movement might be made toward lop-
ping off few of the unnecessary and
some of the unlawful court fees"
DO | understand you to say that
this fee is exacted of all the young men
admitted to the bar?" said the re-
porter.
Yes. say so; and not only that; il
is looked after until it is paid, too"
''Is the crier dependent on these
fees, instead of a salary?" was asked.
''Of course not" was the answer;
she gets his ons thousand five hundred
dollars a year, like all other bailiffs. {"

Some forty years ago Paris could

the Rue de la Mortellerie- appropriate.

corridOr-like hall. on the ground floor:
il was neither paved nor tagged: YOU
believed yourself in the street, only the
ceiling assured you there was some
thing between you and the sky. The
table was fixed to the ground by solid
posts of wood in masonry: the leaf of
the table was long block of wood,
pierced at intervals, like school desk
for ink-bOttles, in which a hole had
been excavated. and then lined with
tin; opposite each of these holes was a
kind of rustic stool, serving for an
armchair. The walls were hang with
pictures of reigning sovereigns, and
battle-pieces. Body and mind were
thus provided with nutriment; il was a

SIG, Telescopes.

The largest refracting telescope as yet
actually completed has a light-gathering
surface twenty-seven inches in diamater.
This is the great Vienna equatorial, adj
mirably turned out by Mr.. Grub of Dub
lin in 1880. but still awaiting the COM
mencement of its exploring career. 1t
will, however, soon be surpassed by the
Pulkowa telescope, ordered more than
four years ago on behalf of the Russian
Government, from AIvan Clark & Sons of
Cambridgeport, Mass. Still further will
it be surpassed by the coming Lick re-
tractor. 1t is safe to predict that the OPP
teal championship of the world is, at
least for the next two years, secured to
this gigantic instrument, the completion
of which may be looked for in the imme-
date future. 1t will have clear apar-
ture of three feet. A disc of hint-glass
for the object lens SO. Is inches across,
and 10 Kilograms in weight was cast
at the establishment of III. Fell. in Paris,
early in 1884 Four days were spent and
eight tons of coal consumed in the cast
ing this vast mass of fawless crystal; 1t
took calendar month to cool, and cost
$4,000. 1t may be regarded as the high
est triumph so far achieved in the art Of
optical glassmaking. A refracting tele-
scope three feet in aperture collects rather
more light than speculum of four feet.
In this quality, then, the Lick instrument
will have, besides the Ross leviathan,
which for many reasons may be consid-
cred to be cut of the running, but one
rival. And over this rival-the forty
eight-inch reflector of the Melbourne OBJ
servatory-it will have all the advantages
of agility and robustness, so to speak,
which its system of construction affords,
while the exquisite defnation for which
Alvan Clark is famous will presumably not
be absent Edinburgh Revtee0.

+" BURSTING :" LAMPS.

The large quantity of kerosene used
in these Islands, amounting in the
past year to about half a million gall
Ions, has made necessary the passage
and enforcement of a law guarding
against unsafe qualities being intro
duced; and, SO far as the oil is con-
cerned, people may feel reasonably
safe from explosions But when it
comes to the manner IN which the oil
Is burned, we find that in too many
cases consumers are grossly careless.
In the first place the practice of
keeping a kerosene lamp burning all
night is very common in our house
holds, and it is done generally in a
manner to court double danger.
The light Is generally turned down so
low that there results very imper-
feet combustion of the oil, much of it
passing off in the form of gas that
can be smelt all through the house
before morning. This gas is decidedly
injurious to health, and in it's genera
ton lies the first danger. Then, again,
the oil being gradually consumed by
early morning, the greater part of it
Is gone, and the space above that left
In the lamp is filled with a highly
infIamable gas. This induces an ex-
plosion if the fame by any chance
is driven down into the lamp, as it
sometimes is by draught of air, or
by e person blowing down the chin
ney to extinguish the lamp. In many
Of the cheaper styles of 800 dozen OF
lamps that are sold here annually,
there are some in which the flame is
too close to the body of the lamp, the
ventilation is imperfect, and the brass
work gets over-heated. Then wicks
are used that are too short, or do not
at their holders, and in either
case the former has a chance to gel
at the gas always present above the
oil,
For these, and other reasons, We
cannot be too careful how we use
kerosene. Never fill a lamp after
dark never let the oil become
s'dead :" and never let the children
carry burning lamps about the house
If you want to keep the oil from
being used to start the kitchen fire
with, you must lock it up. There i!
no other known cure for this baC
habit.
