Reproduction of Colors.

The new colors are described in various re-
cent technical journals. The first is appar-
entity u reproduction of q color known to the
a%ncients and made by them with sand and
lime, heated with roasted copper. The pig
ment, on analysis, appears to be a compound
silicate of lime and copper. 1t is now made
with exact proportions of the materials, so
that the product is uniform, and tho process
seems likely to furnish us with a material of
great value. The color is n bright greenisll
blue, so that it will be more available for
decoration than French blue OF cobalt blue,
both of which are of n purplish cast and do
not mix well with other %colors, while it APP
pears to be as permanent as either Of them.
The other color is u black, which has been
made by treating camphor with %sulphuric
acid. By stepping camphor in strong sui
phuric acid Il jelly like mass is formed of a
reddish color. When this is heated it boils,
giving off fumes of %sulphurous acid, and turns
intensely black. By evaporation the uncon-
verified excess of acid and camphor is driven
off and n black mass remains, which seems to
have tho qualities of India ink. Like India
ink, it can DO apparently dissolved in water,
and remains suspended for a long time. We
hope that some one will pursue the subject of
this camphor black. a pure liquid black is
one of the things that science has searched
for in vain for many years, and even so near
an approach to it as good India ink would be
a most useful substance. American Analyst.

Two Noble Natures.

Unseltishness is an unfailing test of noble
manhood. True chivalry always springs
from this source. To show the esteem in
which generosity has always been held, a
little instance is found in the life of Sir Philip
Sidney Before relating this little story,
perhaps, it would be best to give Il few of the
leading traits for which this good man was
SO famous. He was one of the noblest men
of his time. He was learned, being Il poet
and a writer. On account of his chivalry
and courtliness lie vas made a knight, and
Elizabeth was fond of calling him the "Jewel
of her dolminions." lie was the nephew of
the Earl of Leicester, VINO was sent over in
1856 to assist the Hollnnders against Philip
IL of Spain, and it was at the famous battle
of Zutphin that the incident which | am
about to relate occurred.
Sir Philip Sidney had been fighting brave
~ all day when he received u wound in the
thigh, which proved to be his death wound,
While he was being borne away upon a litter
tho profuse bleeding of his wound caused him
great thirst, and he asked for water. One Of
the soldiers handed him q cup, but Just as he
was about to put it to his lips, he noticed a
common soldier, who had also been severely
wounded, looking at the cup with such eager,
hungry eyes that he gave it to him, saying,
Take it, thy necessities are greater than
mine" What could he more touchingly
beautified than this one act of unselfshness
which has made the name of Sir Philip Sid.
ney immortal! This calls to mind another
act of a similar nature, but under diferent
circumstances and in a different sphere of
life; clearly showing that it is not only among
the great that noble hearts are found, but
among the lowly as well; and that as gener.
Gus heart may throb beneath rags as be-
meath a cover of silk and velvet.
Two little boys were sweeping the street,
and one of them picked up a half eaten apple;
he was so hungry that he took a huge bite

tered garments. Tho little fellow took a very
modest bite, upon which the one who had
found the apple said: "Oh, bite bigger, Billy"
10 my mind it is hard to distinguish which
was the nobler Of the two natures, Sir Philip
Sidney or the ragged street urchin. One was
reared in af1uence, amid the splendor of the
English court, with the most cultured men of
the time; tho other in poverty. hunger and
dirt, knowing no difference between right
and wrong save what his own loyal heart

Divine Element of Human Life.

The subject of the supreme and ilnpas-
stoned lovc of man and woman is one which
must be touched with reverence. | yield to
no one in appreciation of this, which, i'll its
proper fultllment, appears to me to be the
one divine element of human life. 1t is to me
the creative power of God, passing by direct
inheritance to his children and eventuating
i'll new generations of souls, thrown off from
the parent stock in like manner as new sys-
tens and series of worlds are maIo to people
space by the operation of the divine hand.
Yet, as God himself works through estab.
llshed law, SO believe love the dirinest loses
its divinity when it is divorced from that
sense of duty and obligation which God has
made equally with love tho foundation of the
human home.
1t Is the home in its fullness and perfection
which meets the needs of the human soul, not
the isolated and, in the end, debasing joys of
a passion which ccnters in itself. A great deal
is said of late about the evils of marrying for
n home, but SO little faith have | in a love
that is not linked with duty, so abiding a sense
OF security in Cod holy law and ordinances
that, given Il daughter of marriageahle age,
l would sooner that she should marry a man
of probity and good abilities, who had a
proper respect for wolnan's worth, if they
both undertook in good faith the task of
founding a home that SHOULD he the abode of
purity and peace, even though neither of
them was the subject of a supreme and i'm
passioned love" than that she should marry
for love without such dutiful accord, or take
the chances of any, even q gifted, single
woman, in the open labor market of the
world.-Caroline +. Corbin.

Princess Alice of Hessc, was sometimes able
to free herself from the tranimels Of court

mrccdoto is here quoted. The princess had
promised to call ono day ona lady in the city.
and the latter, overwhelmed by the honor,
proceeded to mako all kinds of elaborate
preparations, including tho laying down Of
rcd cloth for the princess to walk over and
tho posting of watchers to report her coming.
Satisfied that she had dono everything that
etiquette demanded the lady of the house then
repaired to the drawing room and awaited
the arrival of her royal visitor as calmly as
she could. Suddenly tho door opened and a
lady entered, robed i'll a macintosh, with

stepped in she remarked: Here l ami 1t is
