Origin of the Shot, Tower

There was a mechanic in Bristol,
Eng, whose name was Watts, by trade
a shoemaker. Watts had to take great
bars of lead and pound them out into
sheets of thickness about equal to the
diameter of the shot he desired to
make. Then he cut the sheets into lit
tie cubes, which he rolled in a revolv-
ing barrel until the corners were worn
off from the constant friction. Watts,
after an evening spent with some jolly
companions at the ale-house, went
home and turned into bed. He dreamed
that he was out again with the boys"
They were all trying to find their way
home when it lbegan to rain shot.
Beautiful globules Of lead, polished
and shining, fell to his feet. In the
morning when Watts arose he remem-
bered his dream, and wondered what
shape molten lead would take in fall
ing a distance through the air. At last
he carried a ladle full of the hot metal
up in the steeple of the church of st.
Mary of Redcliff, and dropped it into
the mote below. Descending he took
from the bottom of the shallow pool
several handfuls OF perfect shot, far
superior TO any he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made. He had
conceived the idea of the shot-tower.-

Deacon Staples Parrot.

The pleasing story of Deacon Staples
parrot is being told in Boston nowa-
days, and is worth retelling in New
York. One day. when the deacon's
wife was doing up pickles, the parrot,
when Der back was turned, stole a
pickle from the dish. Mrs. Staples
turned IN time to discover the theft,
and threw a knife at the parrot with
such force and accuracy that it took
all the feathers smoothly of the
birds head. For days the parrot was
d~isconsolate at the loss of his topknot.
but recovered in course of time. Soon
afterward a clergyman came to spend
Sunday at Deacon Staples, and the
parrot was in the dining-room when
the guest came in to breakfast. The
parson was bald; his head was as
smooth as a door knob. The parrot
looked at him with interest, and then,
as heads were bowed while the min
ister said grace, the bird screamed
with d~istinctness: "Ha! We burned old

SECONDHAND BOOKS.

Incidents Showing That London Is the
Antiquarian's Paradise.
The paradise of secondhand books
is London. The cramped and low
studded, narrow little shops OF Holy
well street-which the knowing call
Booksellers Rown-are the auaintest
and most fascinating places of their
kind. Memories of every visit to Lon
don, long or brief, are crowded in turn
with memories of these secondhand
book-shops. There was another shop
on Oxford street. not far from the Tot
tenham Court road, that / remember
well-a wonder of a place, larger than
it's fellows in the row, and examined
with mountains of books. Counters
there were none, or, at most, but
one; you walked through or
squeezed through narrow passages,
between great heaps of books that
reached from floor to ceiling. What
may have been within the center of
any one of these piles, or at the bottom
of it? I am sure the merchant himself
did not know. And if one knew that
such and such a book lay hit den there,
and he wanted it, how, in the name of
all the wonders, could he get itP lam
sure the merchant himself did not
know. / do not believe that he would
have overhauled n of those piles for
less than G100. The place has long
been one Of my iavorite mysteries; I
regard with no little amazement the
secondhand bookman, who showed
such an apparent disregard for the
| possibilities of his stock. And / dare
say the establishment maintains its
ancient plethora. These places never
change, thank Heaven!
It was some such ~me7chants as this
whom / used to consult when in ex-
tremity. If I wanted such and such a
book, he knew where it could be had,
if it could be had at all. / verify be-
lieve that he had the gift of ~eoRauring.
