Mortified at His Youthfulness.

Joshua Taylor, OF New Hampshire,
thought he was 102 years old. Records
were found to prove that he was only SO,
and he went to the barn and hung himself
of modification. 1t is too bad that a man
can't be as old as he wants to be.

r STRANGE WILL-MAKING.
A Striking Scene in Fiction Psralleled In
Real Life.

A Striking Scene in Fiction Paralleled In
Real Life.
One of the most striking scenes in
fiction is that wherein the paralytic in
Monte Cristo'' makes a legal DISPOSE
ton of his property by the movement
of his eyes. In blue book recently
published concerning the deaf and
dumb, there is all account of the MAX
ing of a will by lady who, having
been stone deaf all her life became.
when sixty years old, blind also, which
is quite as strange reading. The place
was country town, Ludlow in Shrop-
shire, and the mayor, the rector and
the chief medical men were present, to
witness that every thing was done
above-board and without collision.
"A copy of the will lay before the
deaf blind lady and myself, and an
other copy was before the gentleman
sitting in the seat corresponding with
your lordships. 1 began spelling on
her hand with perfect silence one SEN
tence. She turned to the lady on her
right and spelt on both her hands the
sentence that l had just repeated to
her. That lady, having nothing before
her, repeated aloud what presumably
had said to the blind lady and what
certainly the blind lady had said to
her, and the official gentlemen at the
other end saw that they were actually
the very words in the will before them.
So it went on. She stopped me in one
place and said not thousand hun
dred, showing that she knew the value
of numerals; and she willed away the
whole of her property with perfect
accuracy. She left portion of it, and
q very substantial portion of it, to the
very persons who had desired to keep
it from her and they were her blood
relations. She left one hundred pounds
to the institution whose head master
helped her to make such will. That
was the last time that l saw her. The
will was contested by the relations.
When it came to be tested, they said
nobody in such a condition as that
could make will. We fought the bat
tie in the Probate Court at Westminster
and won. The will was proved May 3,
1861"
1t would be interesting to learn
whether the incident in Monte Cristo'
suggested to her medical adviser the
possibility of this lady making will.
The usual practice of accusing the
novelist of plagiarism can hardly be
INDUCED in in this case.-N. Y. Inde-

On the american

From this table it will be seen that
wages in the United States are far
ahead of the wages paid on the Clyde,
and the wages of the Clyde practically
fix the wages of foreign ship-building.
From this showing it might be con-
cluded that as the ship-builder pays
such very low wages he could produce
ships at very low cost. But this is
Offset by the loss of time in using cum
berstone and ancient machinery and
by extra work in putting on superior
finish. A Clyde ship-yard employs
great many more men to the same
amount of work than an American yard
does. In Cramps ship-yard at Phila-
delphia they do about the same class
of work as done on the Clyde, but the
Cramps yard employs only 2.200 men,
while the Clyde yard doing the same
amount of work as Cramps would have
to employ many more men to handle
its bulky machinery. Still the Cramps
have to pay much higher wages than
those paid on the Clyde, yet they have
better facilities for work and better
machinery to work with.
AS to the social condition of the ship
builders abroad, my opinion is that
they do not have the comforts of those
in America, The living is cheaper, as
it must be to live on the wages re-
ceived. But the workingmen do not
surround themselves with the comforts
enjoyed by the American workingmen.
They live shabbily, and in many cases
they are satisfied to call leaf of bread
and glass of redwood wine a meal.
In America our ship-workers live in
their own homes and their tables have
an abundance for good meal. They
not only enjoy the comforts of life but
many of them enjoy its luxuries also.
know American ship carpenters who
live as well as the ordinary city mer-
chant.
My general conclusion from what l
saw abroad was that while the foreign
ship-building industry, such as that of
the Clyde, was far more extensive than
ours, yet it would have to give way
eventually to American manufactures
of this class. They can not compete
much longer with our American ma
chinery and American methods. and l
predict that within fifteen years Amer
lea will have a good share of the ship
building now done on the Clyde, and
with that start it will not be long be-
fore America will build her own ships.

PREPARING FOR CONQUEST.

Before the looking glass she stands
And combs her rich and glossy hair;
The golden threads glide through her hands
ID And ripple Ger her shoulders fair.
We mark her fingers nimbleness
The movement of her supple waist,
Until we see each silken tress
Imprisoned in a Psyche twist.
The bangs upon her snowy brow E.:
With gentle touch she smootheth down;
The work is done; she's ready now
To don her most bewitching gown.
The dress becomes her charmingly,
And OF the fact she is aware,
But oft she turns herself TO see
No crease its beauty doth impair.
A collar round her swan-white neck
She fastens-snow begirt by snow;
With various trinkets doth bedeck =
The charms that could their aid forego.
Last, ties her beauty to enhance,
Around her throat ribbon gay,
Then gives the glass parting glance
And to the parlor takes her way.
She enters radiant as the morn,
When soft the perfumed zephyr blows
And rosy tints the skies adorn,
And dewdrops sparkle on the rose.
The youth for whom she thus is armed
Is by her loneliness abashed
He stares, is fascinated, charmed,
In short, incontinently mashed.

KING OF WATERFALLS.
A Travellers Description of Grand New
Zealand Cataract.

Zealand Cataract.
l must leave to some able writer the
work of picturing to the world in suit
able language the grandeur of what
will soon be known as the highest
waterfall in the world. 1t consists of
three leaps in an almost direct line,
but when standing about quarter of
mile away it has the appearance of a
straight leap with two breaks. The
upper leaps are equidistant and the
lower one shorter. The water issues
from narrow defile in the rock at the
top of the precipice; it then makes one
grand leap of SIS feet III a rocky basin
on the face of the cliff; issuing forth
once more it makes another fine leap
of Isl feet and then goes tumbling
headlong into one wild dash of 1913 feet
into the pool right at the foot of the
precipice. 1t will thus be seen that
the total height of the fall is 1904 feet,
thus making it the highest waterfall
that has yet been discovered in the
world.
Proceeding right on to the pool at
the foot-hewn out, we are told, by the
heavy fall OF water from the mound of
stones and debris projecting over in
times of food-at the expense. how
ever, of getting drenched with the
spray. a splendid view OF the whole is
obtained, and when the sun is shining
the effect is enhanced by beautiful
rainbow of colors of the most brilliant
kind conceivable and nearly full cir
Gle in shape. -Philadelphia Times.

Beauty Pads for the Cheeks. :


Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are awk-
ward things. Ladies do their best to
prevent their appearance. The clever
ones seem to be able to ward off the
wrinkles, but hollow cheeks completely
battle their skill. A gentleman who
lives at Islington is providing ladies
whose cheeks are hollow with small
pads. These pads are attached to nat
ural or artificial teeth by means of
tiny gold springs. The price of face
pad is trifle heavy, like every thing
else guaranteed to improve the per-
sonal appearance. A pair of pads cost
something like IS. The maker of the
face pad said that gentlemen as we'll as
ladies' are wearing them. One gentle
man had never looked anything but
cadaverous until he took to the pad.
Now his cheeks are rounded like a
cherub's and he looks ten years
Younger. The curious thing about the
face pad is its infexibiliuy. 1t is made
of the same material as the case of q
set of artificial teeth.-Pall Mall Bud
