CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.

Il is lately stated in the House Of.
Commons that the inscriptions on Gle
opatra's Needle. are shaving signs Of
decay. Mr.. John Dixon, the centrac,
tor for surveying the monolith from
Egypt, denies this and says;
After making a careful personal e1-
animation of the monument, my criti-
cal eye fails to detect upon its surface
a sign of decay whatever. Were
there such, there could be no doubt
there be grains Of the stone lying OIL
the altar steps and top Of the pedestal
I climbeds up and could not
see one sign decay. / also could
see glittering itoints on the surface Of
the solution Of silica supplied to me
by the skilled chemists of the British
Museum. at the suggestion Of my old
friends Sir Richard Owen and Dr.
Birch, and Of which three coats or
washes were given with the greatest
care before the trunnions and fasten-
ings, for the final lift we're placed
around it.,
There is another reason also in the
natural composition Of this peculiar
bed syenitic granite that crosses the
valley of the Nile at the First Cata-
racts, and from the quarries ut the
small village of Syene, from which all
the known obelisks were cut, viz, the
total absence Of mica in the stone. In
all other GRANTEES this readily destruc-
tible material exists. Moreover, it
must not be forgotten the centuries
that have passed away since this m
cient monument was erected by tho
Pharaoh Ramenes II. at the main
gateway of his great temple at On,
the Heliopolis of The Greeks. There
it stood for eighteen centuries, md

The r6lnded corners of the bases of
these tho obelisks had doubtless been
Clipped off by the gatekeepers at On, 1
and sold to the pilgrim visitors. Bon

ITS
Most old somiisrs will remembenf4 bat
very few quarternaster or colnmissar
ries we're killed or captured during
the war, and those that were captured
were tkkea fznm the extreme rear.
Butthere IS one instance olxec ord
where a quartermaster was, captured
at the front, and with his face to the
foe. Mr.. VIC. Henderson, telegraph
editor of The Constitution. tells the.
story.
On one occasion the two lines we're
facing one another, with only a short
distance separating them.
A farmer rode into the confederate
camp on mule. Most Of the soldiers
had been farmers and Nere good Judges
Of horse flesh, so.that in conversation
with the old farmer the merits and
dement's Of the mule came mp natural
" for some discussions, It was a good
mule, they agreed with the farmer-
s'but," added the owner, .sPve meyer
seen another man that could ride him.
This remark brought on another
discussion. Several Of the soldiers.
protested that they had never been.
thrown from a mule, and were willing
to bet that they could ride this one,
One of the most vocifferous in praising
his own horsemanship was q commits,
sary. He swore he could ride that
mule, and finally it was decided to let
him try.
He had no sooner mounted than the!
mule began plunging viciously, and
then he ran around in a circle several
times at breakneck speed, the commits
sary holding on for his life.
Suddenly that mule made a break
for the. front. The commissary sawed|
and shouted in vain. Every attempt
was made to stop them, but the mule
was wild and the conlmissary knew
that if he once let loose he would havel
to be buried.
On like a tornado-and as straight|
as the crow flies on past the confed-
crate outposts and heading for the
yankee lines! 81,
They watched him until the mule
was lost to sight. !,
: That was the last seen Of them, nor
has one word ever been heard, from
that day to this, of the comlnissary or
the mule.Atlaasta Consultation.

HOW IT WAS INVENTED.

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog bone;
But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
She was In great stew
To know what to do,
For of money she had not cent;
SO she sold her last suit
To buy meat for the brute,
And up town In her night gown she went.
The ladies who saw 1t
And the strings to draw It,
Declared it the incest thing out;
So now on the street,
Looking ever so neat,
In their gowns they go rushing ubout'

exclaimed with animation, II must
not forget that they sometimes send
me little gold box or other, marked
with some Greek letters. sup
pose it is the most valuable of all.
Perhaps they would send me more if
/ knew better how to use it, for | find
that what [ use the most of is what
comes the oftenest.
GA great comfort, too, is to find
the old and spoiled things | have sent
away come home fresh and fit to be
used again. 1t may be a Friendship
that had got quite worn and common,
and seemed to have thin places in it,
where it would give way. You can't
think how good it seems to have it all
fresh and beautiful again, with the
new folds in it, and not stitch to
show where it has been mended-even
stronger than it was, / believe. Some
times, too, there is Duty am so
tired of and when | have sent off all
the old puzzles and vexatious thoughts
about it, and open it again in its new
package in the box, it always has a
fresh, clean look that makes me like
it better, and understand easier what
to do with it"
cit makes me think of the old
story" l said. "Pandora's box has
always had a pleasant sound, but the
trouble with that was that she let all
the blessings inside fly away"
"Pandora's box was nothing to
mine," Christabel declared. "There
are much nicer things in the way of
joys and hopes nowadays than were
thought of when that strange old
trunk was packed, and more radiant
than Jupiter or Vulcan or dark Hecate
knew, or the bright young goddesses,
even. And what do you suppose the
gods could have been thinking Of, to
want these happy gifts kept shut up
for mankind? That is the charm of
my box Of blessings, can have all |
want, just as fast as | can use it, only
not any faster, and everybody else
can have the same"
l sat and thought, while the twi-
light deepened, of ChristabePs box
Of Joys, and her understanding jars
Of Contentment and the little gold
box that was 80 precious with it's
Greek lettering, and the splendid gifts
Of Courage and Hope that seemed to
come to her from invisible hands.
30, Chrstabel," l said at last, "Pm
afraid you are a dreadful story
teller!'
But Christabel looked at me with
clear eyes, earnestly. II believe there
is nothing on earth so real" she said.

Christabel's Trunk.

ChriStabelS Trunk.
The clock struck four, the children
came trooping and shouting home
from school, and the winters day
turned toward its yellow twilight.
"About this time in the after
noon," said Christabel, II begin to
pack up my box Of worries to send
away"
"Now what in the world do you
mean, dear Christabel?" said l.
swell, it helps me to imagine that
l pack up my worries, of all sorts, in
bundles to get rid Of, and all the
things that have gone wrong in the
day. Then l tumble them all to-
gether into = big box, and think of
them as carried off, clear out Of sight,
and then when they are fairly gone l
am all ready for the new things. .
"And what are the new things, you
queer Christabel?" asked.
"Why, you see that when these
others, all worries and disappoint.
ments and so on, are actually gone
and far away, l take much comfort
in thinking that a great big box of
joys and new hopes comes in by some
mysterious express, and l have
beautiful time unpacking them. /
cannot enjoy them unless the old
ones are really away altogether, but
when they are quite out Of my mind
l feel ready to take out and unfold
the new Ones"
"And how do they look?" said I.
"Like chocolate bonbons, or what
kind Of pretty things?"
sJust like the most delightful
Christmas box you ever saw" ex-
claimed Christabel. "In the first
place they are wrapped in fresh, clean
white paper (some of it is tissue),
and the parcels are Of all shapes and
kinds. There is a good deal Of Con-
tentment, and that is often in the
most beautiful blue jars, and is so
fragrant besides. The Joys and
Hopes come in different shapes, but
they are all tied with ribbon of a
lovely pink color, and among them
are delicate little parcels, like square
envelopes, of fancy paper with gilt,
and faint, soft colorng, and those, as
far as | can make out, are happy
Memories and Thought.
II should need a good deal Of
Courage, too, ! think" said l.
II have plenty of that" said Chris
label promptly, "all packed in rich
red boxes that are very nice and
handy to take about with one. Pa
tience, which / use a great deal of,
and always want, is tied up with
those beautiful neutral grays and
browns that are so exquisite In effect,
you can hsrdly tell why. They have
wide range, through all the old gold
and dead leaf colors.
