Lie and Death.

1t is a curious stUdy how near some
people come to death, and yet do not die
srill their time cOmes'' as the saying is.
An old Englishman who had passed un-
harmed through the horrors OF the Indian
mutiny came home from India and went
upon an expedition to the heart of Africa.
After passing through many dangers both
on sea and land, and getting safely home
after tempestuous voyage, he was drown
ed the day after his arrival in simply step
ping over a gang plank from his ship to
another and was drowned in sight of his
home But there are many cases very
similar, and they are so frequent as TO
hardly occasion comment.

the midst of death we are in life. In one

few years since an elevator carrying an
office boy and several ''forms" of type was
precipitated the entire length Of the well,
80 feet deep, and while the forms were pied
and the elevator splintered, the boy escaped
with a few bruises. Not a week efterward,
while passing down a flight of two or three
steps, ne tripped and fell, and broke his
neck instantly,
Here is another instance not less remark
able: A slater working upon the roof OF
a building 20 feet high lost his balance and
went rolling down the side of the roof.
Fortunately, just in the middle of the roof
was a skynght of heavy glass opening in
ward. Directly the man struck II, he
carried it with him through the roof 10 the
floor below, falling upon the head OF q
workman standing at a bench. The falling
glass injured the workman 50 severely
about the head that he died instantly,
while the slater lived to tell Of his
miraculous escape TO his grandchildren.

Daniel webster and the Bible.

Though Webster's fame rests chiefly
upon his oratOrical powers, he was re
markable, too. for his familiarity with the
Bible. In fact, his colleagues once nick
named him the Bible Concordance Of the
United States Senate. How he earned this
title and how the Bible influenced his lit
erary style, is told 10y the Youths Com

he never received such ideas Of the majesty
OF God and the dignity Of man as he did
one clear night when Mr.. Webster. stand

Psalm.
Wehster's mother observed another old
fashion Of New England in training her
son. She encouraged him 10 memorize
such SLTptural passages as impressed him.
The boys retentive memory, and his sen
sitiveness TO Bible metaphors and 70 the
rhythm of the English version, stored his
mind with Scripture.
On one occasion the teacher OF the dis
trict school offered a jack-knife 10 the boy
who should recite the greatest number Of
verses from the Bible. When Webster'R
turn came, he arose and reeled of So
many verses that the master was forced
TO CRY, 'Enoughr' 1t was the mothers
training and the roy's delight in ths
idioms and music o King James version

But these two factors made him more
than a concordance" The Hebrew
prophets inspired him to eloquent utter

vocabulary and idioms, as expressed in
King James's translatiOns became his

First, there Is a little hard rubber ball
around which there is wound strong blue
coarse yarn, and, when this reaches pre-

In an oven and baked until the moisture is
taken out of them and reduced in size, this
making them solid. They are then coated
with cement, which causes the balls to re-
tain their shape, and they cannot be
Knocked crooked. After this comes some
blue yarn, and around the whole is placed

weighed, each to have a certain weight,

DR.. Van Marter, of Rome, has pub
hshed an interesting account Of the evl-
dences discovered By him of prehistoric
dentistry in Italy. In the museum of
COrnelo Tarquinius a city on the Mediter
ranean coast he found two specimens of
ancient dentistry, which the Mayor of that
city certifes we're found upon the first
opening of the buried Etruscan tombs, and
Professor Heilbig gives assurance that
these were virgin tombs, dating back four
or five centuries before the Christian era.
In one of the specimens the two superior
central incisors are bound by band of
very soft gold TO teeth on either side; the
artificial teeth are well carved, evidently
from the tooth of some large animal One
other artificial tooth was held by the same
band, but it is lost. DIR. Van Marter has
In his own possession a skull in which the
first upper molaT on the right side is miss
ing, and which shows plain marks of an

toothache among the Etruscans.
