Wood Pavements.

1t appears that wood pavements have
met with greater success in some of the
countries in Europe than in our own,
the reason assigned for this being the
fact of their having foundation of con.
crete to rest upon in the former, ut the
same time receiving more attention there
In the way OF maintenances than here
Owing to its hardness and resinous dual.
ity American yellow pine, it is stated,
has become the favorite wood for this
purpose in Berlin and Hamburg, and
official report says that Frederick S
Bridge, Berlin, which was paved in the
spring of 1879 with the wood in cues
ton. is still in good condition, while the
approaches, paved with granite blocks,
have twice since required repaving. The
Opera platz, also, in front of the EN-
peror's palace, was paved seven years
ago, partly with yellow pine and cy-
press, at point where the traffic is
greatest, while at other points stone
blocks were used, the laying of the diff
ferent surfaces with these several ma
terials being Mt the same time. Accord
ing to the report the area covered with
the wood pavement is at present the one
which is best preserved Louis

Anecdote of the Little Dutch Prin-

An interesting anecdote is told of the
Princess Wilhelmina, of Holland, which
] do not think has been generally pub
lished. 1t seems that she has always
been delighted to hear all her mother
could tell her about the baby king of
Spain, and day or two before her last
birthday, the Princess Wilhelmina, en-
tirely of her own accord, sat down and
wrote him letter, the contents of which
are said to be delightfully."- naive and
original. After giving his majesty list
of her principal treasures, including her
favorite big doll Pauline and her pet
pony, she went on to tell him that some
day she was to be queen, she believed,
though the did not want to be one, one bit.
She also supposed that little kings liked
toys like other little boys, and if her
mamma would allow her she would send
him her biggest Noah's Ark, which had
every animal in it that she had seen at
tho geological gardens at Rotterdam,
and others besides. What is more, the
letter and the said biggest Noah's Ark
were actually sent to Madrid, and in due
time charming answer was received by
the Princess Wilhelmina from the king
of Spain, though written, of course, by
his devoted mother. 1t is seldom that
peep behind the royal curtain discloses
n more charming incident than this
London Figaro.

Departed Glory of Clowns.

When first went into the business,
says an old circus man, clown had to
sing or he was no good. Tony Pastor,
the New York manager, made his first
hit as a singing clown. Now all that a
clown is paid for is to do something to
make people laugh, no matter what it
is. Then it took brains to be a good
clown, and now it's principally legs.
There are entirely too many clowns now
in the ring Mt one time, and think that
both the people and the circuses have
got tired of it. 1 expect to see the re-
action before 1 get past my prime, and
l believe that within the next five years
the clown will again be expected to get
out in the ring with the ringmaster,
sing funny song about some topic of
tho day and crack good joke now and
them Globe-Democrat.

Poor Sam, his life has been an odd
one. Raised in Pennsylvania, he
learned the taxidermistf trade when
boy, and though the mounting and
stulffing of animals has always been his
hobby, he has never seemed to make it
pay. Getting married early in life, the
care of wife and children has COM
PEELED him to work hard, and to-day he
has hand hand fight with poverty.
In fact, it is doubtful if he would keep
the wolf from the door for long if it
were not for the generosity of the peo-
pie of Bridgeport and nearby towns
who, learning of his whims, 90 out to
see him Sundays and leave small sums
of money to recompense him for his
time.
Still, he does not feel blue, and firmly
believes that better times are in store
for him. At present his dream is to get
appointed on one of the United States
surveys as taxidermist and go West to
earn money and fame, and thus get new
clothes and other comforts for the grow
ing little ones. Until then the brindle
steer will have to plough the swamp
lands, and Sam must rely on his skill as
farmer for living.

Cure of Inebriety.

DIR. Elliott, in a recent lecture at Tor
onto, gives the four principal conditions
that must be obs rived for the treatment
of inebriates to be successful. The first
is abstinence; this must be absolute, and
ON no plea whatever, of fashion, of phys
ic or religion, ought the smallest guam
tity of an intoxicant to be put to the lips
of an alcoholic slave. The second con-
dition is to ascertain the predisposing
and exciting causes of inebriety, and to
endeavor to remove these causes. which
may lie in some remote or deep seated
physical ailment. The third condition
is to restore the physical and mental
tone, and the fourth condition is en-
ployment; let the mind of the patient be
kept occupied by attention to regular
work, and the task of reformation will
be shorn of half its difficulty.

The Original Baseball.

The original baseball was made with
core of rubber strips one ounce in
weight, wrapped with yarn and covered.
This was found too lively, and SO little
sphere of nodded rubber of the finest
quality was substituted for n core. The
trouble with n ball thus made was that
it could not mt all be depended upon for
any given degree Of elasticity. No two
balls in a barrel would be just alike in
this respect, however carefully they
were constructed, and each particular
ball varied from day to day, according
as the weather was dry or damp. 1t
was necessary to devise something bet
ter, and the ideal thing was at length
invented, in 1875, by person named
Mann, who never got a cent for his
patent. This ultimate development of
the baseball is the article now in use
everywhere, and its Characteristic point
is that it has two covers, one inside the
other and separated by windings of
yarn. Picdyune.
