Jewels in the Treasury Vault.

There are comparatively fewjewels
stored in the Treasury vaults at
Washington, and how these jewels
came there no one can tell. Among
the valuables is an old sword with
jeweled hilt and golden chain. No
one can tell to whom it belonged, but
it is a relic of the revolution, and was
probably captured and given to the
Government, but locked up with the
treasurers instead of being sent to the
museum. There are two or three
small bottles filled with precious
stones, but these are sealed up and no
one knows their value. They may
be "stage jewels" for all the keepers
know. In the box where these trim
kets are kept is curious old bottle
containing altar of roses. 1t is vari-
ously claimed to be worth from 500
to 100000. Often when the box is
struck and Jared or moved the sweet
ordor of the altar of roses permeates
the vaults and linger about the cold
corridors for days. These, together
with a few little golden trinkets
make up the jewels of the Treasury

Eggs By Weight.

American Agriculturlst.
Isn't it strange that we buy and
sell eggs by number instead Of by
weight? Number does not show
their value; weight does. Some eggs
weigh twice as much asothers. What
justice or business sagacity is there in
paying the same price for one as for
the other? Is not the farmer who
sells large egg for the same price
that his neighbor sells a small one
cheated? And is not the buyer of
the small egg cheated? Just as well
might butter be sold by rolls, the
small roll bringing as much as the
large one. We do not buy or sell but
ter by the number Of rolls, or meat
by the number of pieces, or cheese by
number; nor should we sell eggs by
number.
If eggs were bought and seld by
weight, the value of certain breeds
of fowls must be changed. Now the
breed that furnishes the greatest
number of eggs is the most profitable;
then it would be the breed that fur.
nished the greatest weight. Some
breeds are remarkable for the small
ness of their eggs; such breeds would
suffer in popularity, while the fowls
that lay large eggs would gain. Thi:
would work only justice, however, t.
the fowls, as it would to their owner:
and the consumers. Clearly egg;
should be sold by weight. Then why
does not every one insist upon it?

Don't Snub a Boy.
Christian Advocate.

Christian Advocate.
Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison the
inventor Of the telephone, first enter
ed Boston he wore pair of yellow
linen breeches in the depth of winter.
Don't snub a boy because his home
is plain and unpretending. Abraham
Lincold's early home wasa log cabin.
Don't snub boy because Of the ig-
norance of his parents. Shakespeare,
the worlds poet, was the son of a
man who was unable to write his
own name.
Don't snub a boy because he chooses
an humble trade. The author of the
"Pilgrim's Progress" was tinker.
Don't snub a boy because of physi-
cal disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub boy because of a dull
ness in his lessons. Hogarth, the cele-
brated painter and engraver, was a
stupid boy at his books.
Don't snub a boy because he slut
tiers. Demosthenes, the great orator
of Greece, overcame a harsh and
stammering voice.
Don't snub anyone. Not alone be-
cause some day they may far outstriL
you in the race Of life, but because il
is neither kind, nor right, nor chris.

A Question of Spelling,

H
Boston Beacon.
Our writers are singularly incon-
slstent and confusing in their use of
the Examinations ant and ent. This is
due to French influences, the French
giving a certain preference to ant,
mainly in consequence of their pro-
nunciation, in which ant and ent are
not distinguished. In English ant
and ent are distinguished, and in
spelling the ant ought to follow the
first conjugation in Latin, e,at the
second and third. Latent, medicant,
potent, ignorant, pungent, ruminant,
dependent, visitant, prudent, mer-
chant, absorbent, inhabitant, student,
vagrant, president, arrogant, oppo-
nent, elegant, absent, observant, resi-
dent, and expectant, are all right.
But defendant, assistant, and tenant
are wrong, defendent, assistent, and
tenent being justified by etymology.
Worcester, who is very careful in
such things, and distinctly preferable
to Webster, tries to discriminate be.
tween the nouns confdant, decend-
ant, dependant, and the adjectiveS
confident, decendent and dependent
but this differentiation is not justified
in reason or fact. The French prece
dent is inconsistent and bad; usage is
neither consistent nor especially good
For this reason one is justified ir
spelling defendent, Especially as nj
careful speaker says defendant. A
any rate, one need not respect thu
customary confusion in the ending'
ant and eat. A similar confusion
reigns in the use of the endings o
able and IDLE. The point to get atil
all such things is neta mere authority
but a good reason. If we demand ;
reason in religion, why not in spell
ing? ..

A Spanish shepherd killed by light
ening recently was made the subject
of a post mertem examination to dis
cover how the electric bolt had done
its fatal work. His eye brows and
eye lashes were burned off, his eye
balls were dried up, all his left side
scorched and burned in spots down
to the ankle, while the right side Of
the body and right leg was uninjured
Serious as these injuries were, none
of them appeared sufficient to have
caused his instant death. But as soor
as the breast was opened the cause O
death was apparent. The lungs were
frightfully congested, and the heart
was enormously dilated and filled
with coagulated blood. With all this
damage to the man his clothing was
very little injured, the only traces O
tightening upon it being a small hole
bored through the rim of the hat and
a slight singeing of the shirt collar.
