Under the Wing Of Wales.

The Prince of Wales, for his own amuse-
ment, lets people in whom the better men,
bers will not recognize. But they only
stay in so long as the prince smiles. Their
admission is really but a temporary one,
and dependent solely upon the caprice Of
the prince, whose smile admits them, but
whose frown will as quickly expel. For
people-and especially foreigners-to i'm
agine, therefore, that because the Prince
of Wales takes notice of them, and for his
own amusement gets friends with whom
he has influence to invite them to their
entertainments, they have achieved the
entree to English high ife-except in a

They have and they have not. They
have caught glimmer of it under the Pc

the Prince of Wales, who has given them
q five minutes view, as it were, of the
sphere of high life In which he is the un-
questioned leader. In the short space in
which they have the opportunity to take

What Dynamite In Like.

Those who have never seen the much
talked Of dynamite explosive will be in
terested to know that it looks very much
like moist brown sugar. Nitro glycerine,
which is formed by the action Of nitric
acid upon glycerine, at a low temperature,
is the active agent in dynamite, but Is
mixed with some absorbent substance to
render it safer to handle than the liquid
glycerine. -. ...a q g.
The absorbent material thus used is q
silicious earth a fine white powder COM
posed of the remains of infusoria, and
resembling powdered chalk; this takes up
two or three times its weight of the nitro
glycerine without becoming pasty, and
the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden
vessels and wooden spoons being used to
avoid dangerous friction.
When fire is applied to this mass it
burns with a strong fame, without any
explosion, but when ignited by detona-
ting fuse or even by sudden blow, its
explosive force is tremendous

Ominous Peacock Plumes.

You remember, do you not, how all Of
the ladies used to admire peacock feathersi
Every boudoir contained a bunch of them;
every parlor was made richer by their
gorgeous tints. They were even used now
and then as border to frieze, and they
were fastened on screens, painted on
plaques, pinned on curtains, and en-
broidered on chairs. But now, go where
you will, you will see no peacock feathers.
They are banished from hall and bower.
Why Because it has been decided that
they bring bad luck. Even fashion
couldn't stand against that. They had to
20. The news spread rapidly, and every
lady, sitting down to reckon up the begin
ming of her bad luck, concluded that it was
when she bought her peacock feathers.
The ladies of the Woodruff hotel held a
meeting and decided to Danish these omi-
nous plumes. So they all went. AL
along the avenues the ladies followed their
example. The servants caught the infec-
hon and refused to stay in q house where
the exquisite but fateful feathers were
kept So the comfort and peace Of mind
of tho vainest OF birds Is restored, for he
will be nolested no more.-Chioago Tri-

Swimming for Girls.

Miss Emily Faithful writes thus: A
Swedish friend once told me that in
Sweden If lady cannot swim she is at
once suspected of some exceptional deli
cacy of constitution just as we should
credit an English girl with some special
weakness If we heard she could not walk,
and she said that in almost every city
there was an excellent arrangement for
open air swimming. should like to see
the matter taken up more keenly by our
board schools. The physical power Of
poor children is terribly drained by i'm
pure air and unclean dwellings,, and
scant, i'll prepared food. Bathing would
certainly prove Of great advantage in the
development of their bodies.
I remember hearing an anecdote from q
well known clergyman in the Midlands
who has done much to promote the ply
steal as well as the moral well being Of
the poor in his district, which is worth re-
peating. He always treated his choir
boys to a weekly bath, and asking the
mother Of an absentee the cause of his
non-appearance, she replied she had for
hidden her son to go because she could
not satisfy him with bread afterwards
cit made him SO hungry" Nothing Is
more invigorating to the health than
swimming.-Herald Of Health.

How She Regards the Man.

I have observed with pain that Boston

quite the thing to look down upon the
men. 1t is very hard. cannot imagine
why it is. But they do. It appears to be
the fashion here to regard the male ami
NAL of the genus homo as rather neces-
sary evil than otherwise. As producer
of money he is useful, but in all else not
particularly desirable. If available as
partner in marriage he receives the at
tention due to such a party; but once dis
posed of matrimonially, he relapses into
the forlorn condition Of other Benedicks,
who pass their time when not engaged in
business lounging at the clubs, while
their wives are busy forwarding the work
of societies for the advancement Of human
knowledge in various branches.-Cor.

MYSTERIES OF THE PAST.

What Might BE Accomplished with Limit
less Powers Of Vision and Locomotion.
Some years ago q pamphlet was pub
Ished by some anonymous author which
contained some very noticeable specula-
lions which may be mentioned in connec-
ton with the heaven of Figuer. Starting
out with the announcement of the fact
that light requires time in its passage
from point to point, he concludes that we
do not see, for instance, the sun as it is,
but as it was eight minutes before. The
sun might be annihilated and we would
still see it for eight minutes after the oc-
currence of the catastrophe. The time
required by the passage Of ray of light
between Uranus and the earth is two and
a half hours; hence what is occurring on
either planet would not be visible to the
other until two hours and half after it
had taken place. A resident of Vega, if
he had the vision strong enough to see
what is happening on the earth, would
only see things after twelve years had
elapsed. With these premises the writer
then proceeds to say:
"Supposing it to be possible that man
could move from point to point without
any employment Of time, and provided
with telescope which would penetrate
. any distance and render all things visible,
it would be entirely possible to recall
every event in history, and to look on it
at the very moment of its occurrence. If,
for instance, we wished to recall Luther,
and see him before the councN of Worms,
we must transport ourselves in a second
to fixed star, from which the light re-
quires about 300 years Tor SO much more
or less) in order to touch the earth. Thence
the earth will appear in the same state,
and with the same persons moving on it,
as it actually was at the time of the
reformation.
''Let us imagine the traveller with in
finite powers of vision in a star of the
twelfth magnitude. He would see the
earth AS it was in the time of Abraham.
Let us further imagine him moving for
ward in the direction of the earth with
such speed that in an hour he comes to us
within distance of one hundred millions
OF miles, being then as near US as the sun
is, whence the sun is seen as it was eight
minutes before, and then we have this:
Before the eye Of the observer the entire
history of the world from the time Of
Abraham to the present day passes by in
an hour"
This is labor which is quite within
the power OF the superhuman spirit con-
ceived by Figuer. With imitless vision,
and the power to move through space at
will, he can at any instant become a
witness of any event which has ever oc-
CURED in the universe. The soul curious
as to the mysteries of the past can thus
satisfy himself on every point. Under
such an inspection there is no phase of
national or individual past that cannot
lie re-eXamined.-"P in Chicago

These people have novel way Of hunt
ing birds, using instead Of a bow and ar

Instrument is about Ave feet long, the
point being made OF piece of walrus tusk
ten inches long. The stick is of cyprus
and about half way up three fish bones
are arranged around the stick, these points
extending outward in order to stick the
bird in case the point on the end should
miss. This harpoon, when used, is held
in the left hand. In the right is a paddle
Of hard wood eighteen inches long, on the
face of which is "a groove extending almost
to the end The tip of the harpoon is fitted

plant the most inexpensive. True, the
material in general use is old glass re-
melted, for which expensive furnaces and
apparatus are not Indispensable. The
crucibles used are 81 all, rarely exceeding
in capacity 200 pounds. These are set in
a furnace stocked fr,m q small opening in
the side. About TIN e hundred weight OF
coal is used in melting one crucible Of
glass. The tubes ~ which the molten
glass is collected from the pot are per-
ceptibly lighter anG shorter than those
used in America. After being blown the

with an air of certainty. s'But he was

The molds used are made of clay, and
are often very ingeniously devised to meet
the varying indications required. When
taken from the crucible the operator does
not marver the lump of molten glass by
rolling on a fiat, iron slab, as is usually
done. They have, in fact, no marver's
tools or other appliances usually seen in
glass blowing establishments. A small
trowel shaped tool of iron, clay molds
and few iron tubes constitute the Chi

which there are already planted more
than one-half, or 2, All miles, with 1854
miles yet to be planted. The present value
Of the trees is now four times as much as
their original cost, or have money value
Of more than $4,000, 900. Among the

In England conflicts between horses
and bulls are not uncommon and are usu
ally disastrous to the horses. A fiery colt
often chases cattle in the pasture, biting
them as they run; but when he tackles d
bull the latter usually won't run, but
charges the colt broadside and often kills
him. Having come of best once, the bull
thereafter is apt to charge horses that are
grazing quietly. 1t is never safe to leave
any bull in pasture with horses.-Lon-

Treatment Of Paper Labels.

1t is found that the durability Of paper
labels, the name, etc., may be rendered
far more certain and reliable by the use of
Chinese ink, the LABEL after fixing, being
sized twice with solution of ge1atino or
good glue, this to be followed by two coats
OF copal varnisl. Treated according to
this method, it is proved that they will
continue to be serviceable for years.-New
