4 curious coincidence was brought to
light in the death OF Nathaniel Wither-
well, who died at Glen's Falls. n. y, at
the age of eighty-four. He was the
thirteenth child aud seventh son of his
parents, while his wife, who survives
him. was the thirteenth child and seventh
daughter of her parents, and both were
the Youngest of their family. The cou-
pie lived together sixty-fve years.
Two little schoolboys OF Lecchburg,
Pa, are twins, and look SO much alike
that the teacher doesn't know them
apart. One day one of the boys failed
to recite his lesson to the satisfaction OF
the teacher, who ordered him to remain
after school, When the teachers back
was turned the boys changed places, and
when the teacher resumed her examina-
ton she got correct answers to every
question.
A Maine school-teacher was putting a
class through an exercise IL the presence
OF two young gentlemen from out OF
town who were visiting the school. Ihey
laughed considerably at the scholars,
whereupon "Children. exclaimed Miss
Powland, in her clear, loud tones, what
is it sign Of to see persons laughing? "
"A weak mind" was the shrill answer
of every voice in the class, and there was
no more laughter.
According to an educational journal,
fame may be produced by snow In the
following manner /: When small piece
OF potassium. the size OF a grain OF corn,
is dropped into tumblerful OF water
some OF the oxygen of the water leaves
its HYDROGEN, owing to the intense heat
which the chemical action produces,
and combines with the metallic potas-
stun, causing violet, blush flame.
When the piece OF potassium is placed
on the wick Of a coal-oil or alcohol lamp
