Education of the Human Eve.

The following story from The Penn Monthly, Is related 10 AgasSiz, rnd 1t Is sui ticiently characteristic of this remarkably accurate observer to have tho merit of prob ability. We are told that once upon . time the professor had occasion to select an as sistant from one of his classes There were a number of candidates for the post of honor, and finding himself in a quandary as to which one he should choose, the happy thought occurred Co hIm of subjscting three of the more promising students in turn to the simple test of describing the view from his laboratory winiOw, which overlooked the sile yard of tie cottage One said that he saw merely a board fence and a brick pavement, another added a stream of soApy water; a third detected the color of the paint on the fence, noted a green mould or fungus on the bricks, and evidences of -bluing' in the water, besides othsr dstAilS It Is needless tO tell to which candidate was awarded the coveted position
 HOuiin, the celebrated prestidigitator, st- tributed his success in his profession mainly to his quickness of perception. which, be tells Us in his entertaining autobiography, he acquired by educating his eyO to detect . large number of objects at a single glance His simple plan was Co select a shop window full of a miscellaneous assortment of articles, and walk rapidly past it a number of times every day, writing down each object which impressed itself on his mind In this way he was able, after Q time, to detect instant aneously all of the articles in the window, even though they might bs numbered by scores.-Scisntiic American

Ar. Daboy, Belgian engineer, has made full examination and report on the re gently discovered oil-nelds in the region of the Red sea The whole peninsula of Gemsah, where the oil was discovered. is of volcanic structure, and there ia not the slightest trace of either vegetation or fresh watsr to be found. The first bOrings were made at distance of only SJO feet from the Red sea, and at distance of only l5G feet from the surface perfect fountain of petroleum was struck It oyerfowed and flooded the neighboring galleries It is ssti- mated that ., 70 barrels of the nduid came forth in twenty four hours, and continued at the same Tate. The petroleum Is Of a dark greenish color and Is limpil It Is mixed with salt water and discharges car bonic gas By allowing the fluid to rest for a few hours the salt settles and can bs re- moved The analysis of the crude oil shows that it contains from - to - per cent of pure oil
 The country around the wells is wholly uninhabited and nearly uninhabitable, ow- ing to the absence of drinking water and vegetation. Al provisions must be brought from Suez The climate Is salubrious, how ever, and the frequent northwest winds render the heat less insufferable. Already steps have besa taken to fully develop tLe new industry. The Egyptian government Is very much elAted over the discovery, and Is disposed to do everything necessary. Jetties had been begun, SO Rs to allow yes- selS to load at the wells, and the crude oil will be taken to Cairo for refining. ng.-Wash- ington Letter.

In a letter dated May 25. lsSG, addressed by Dr. DomIngos Freire, of Rio de Jansiro, to Dr. Joseph Holt president of the Louis iana state board of health, the following in teresting statement is made, presenting a summary of his results claimed for the in oculation of yellow fever:

More than s,CoO persons who were not inoculated died of yellow fever, while among the 5,OOO in oculatsd, inhabiting the same infected local ities, sub jected to the same morbid coadi- tion, but ssven or eight individuAls-whOss disease was diagnosed as yellow feyer-dieL IL Is hardly necessary to say that I hAV, taken notes but of one of thsae eases. Ms eonfreres here have the abominable habiI of not giving notice Of the fact until aftIr tbe interment Of the individuals, and cOnse- quently accuse me of teins unsuccessful You therefore see that in spite of all this bad will my doctrine comes out victorious once more by the test of this year, when the epidemic characterized itself by energetic intensity of infection and contagion- New Orleans Ficayune

Closing Scenes In the Life of the widos

of the Martyr President.
 MrS Lincoln, the widow of the martyr
 president, returned from Europe in October,
 lsSO, and went To Springfield, Ills. where
 she was the guest of her sister, Mrx Ed
 wardS During the following holiday sea-
 son she shut herself in her room, mourning ths extravaganza of the times, and chiding those about her who displayed gifts of jew elry and the like and there she stayed like a veritabls silk-worm in its self-woven cocoon, for many months What did she do tEero all that time. Principally she oyerhauled her many trunks. complained that she was very sick, and ate full meals of substantial food three times a day. She reconciled i'll health and hearty eating by insisting to the few friends whom sho ad- mittei that her malady was a peculiar one, compelling her to consume large quantities of food
 She would rise from a repast of roast beef, cofse etc, and very deiectsdly in form her attendant or visitor, that in all human probability she would not SC the light of another day, and often, in literal veritcation of her prophecy, sh. would close the window shutters, increase the opaque ness of the curtains by pinning up shAvs or quilts, and light plain tallov candla She rejected the Use of gas as of the devil If asked to specify where she felt bad in body, she would reply somstimss, -Pm oa tire, burning up; just feel of me, and sec how hot l am" At the SAms tims her tenn psrature would appear perfectly normal for a lady above Co years of aga At other timss she would insist that she was being all hacked to pieces by knives: just feel that gash in my shouldsr; don't think can stand such wounding long, do your Yet tender and commiserating friends assured her that there was no tracs of either blood or scar.
 The next year her mind wandered % that her relatives were forced to present her to tho probate court, and to ask an order that she might be committed 10 a lunatic asylum She was attired in plain mourning black; the full figure of her Wash Ingtou era had dwindled till she appeared quite a slender lady, whoss shriv- elled face expressed no concern in the doings of the hour. She was gentle and yielded without a murmur to the sad-faced wishes of her son and that always firm friend of her great husband, the Hon Isaac N Arnold, who appeared in court as her counsel She had then been occupying rooms at promi- nent hotel for some time, and the testimony befofe the jury of conspicuous citiLsns ran chiefly 10 her vast accumulation of unmads dress goods within her rooms, and that abe would carry too much monsy about the | streets upon her person, even the sum of | 6, OOO being found loosely pinned within the | folds of her waking dress The court | awarded restraint that should bs only kind | of her personal safety and | financial interests, and she was led away | lmid the tears of many bystandsrs, and vas made at home for time at private asylum | 'f high repute.
