A Born COurtier.

During a stay of Emperor William l.,
of Germany, at the fashionable watering
place at Ems that monarch paid visit
to large orphan asylum and school that
was under Government patronage. The
presence of so distinguished parsonage
created quite sensation in the establish
ment. After listening with much inter
est to the recitations of several of the
classes, His Majesty called to him a
bright, faxen- haired little girl of five or
six years of age, and, lifting her into his
lap, said:
"Now, my little fraulein, let me see
how well you have been taught. To
what kingdom does this belong2" And
taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,
and, looking timidly up into the Empe-
ror's face, replied:
"To the vegetable kingdom"
"Very good, my little fraulein; and
now to what kingdom does this belong2"
Aud he drew out of his pocket gold
piece and placed it on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied:
"To the mineral kingdom"
"Better and better" said the Empe-
ror. "Now look at me and say to me to
what kingdom belong"
At this question there was an ominous
silenceNmong the teachers and visitors
who were listening with much interest
to the royal catechism. Could she make
any other reply that ''to the animal
kingdom2" The little girl hcsitated
long, as if perplexed as to what answer
she would give. Was the Emperor an
animall Her eyes sought those of her
teacher and her schoolmates. Then she
looked up into the eyes of the aged En-
peror, and, with a half-startled, fright
ened look, as if she were evading the
question, replied:
"To the kingdom of heaven"

Electricity in the Lions Den.

The latest application of electricity
will be boon to wild-beast tanners,
lion kings, serpent queens, and such
like. Instead of having to assert their
authority by means Of the whip of plant
steel, which has hitherto been their
chief resource, except in those desperate
straits in which red d-hot irons come into
action, they will now carry a light wand,
with an insulating grip for the hand,
connected by flexible wire, with a bat
terry of which the power can be varied
according to the necessities of the case.
If the lion or tiger becomes surly and
refuses to go through his tricks, or
threatens to bite, sample of his "tam-
er, touch of the magic wand, will give
him a shock that viii rouse him up or
scare him into submission, US the per.
former wishes. An experiment in this
new departure of applied science is said
to have been successfully made in on6
instance.-L0RdOH Panity Fair.

produce electricity direct from mechani-
cal work, and he is now at work on the
construction of practical generator on
this principle.
The rapidity with which flies pass

A report comes from the West of the
discovery of process by which iron ore
can be so softened by the concentrated
rays of an arc light as to be worked with
4 comparatively small amount of labor.
If this discovery is confirmed, it may
lead to considerable modification of
the present modes of treating ores.
Professor Boys, in communication to
The Royal Society, England, on measure
nents of the heat of the moon and stars
by means of his radiomicrometer, gives
an account of a test with n candle at

aection of thirty.eight milimcters. In
other words, this instrument would show
the heat of candle at III miles dis

Some years ago Plateau made expert
ments which showed that eyeless myrio-
| pods can distinguish between daylight
and darkness, their skin being sensitive
to light. Eyeless maggots are also sensi-
tive to light. NJ. Raphael Dubois has re-
Gently studied the perception of luminous
radiations by the skin, as exemplified 10y
the blind Proteus of the grottoes of Car
niola. By number of experiments up
on this animal, which is a salamander
with persistent gills, Dubois demon
strates that the sensibility of its skin to
light is about half of the sensibility of its
rudimentary eyes, and further that this
seusibility varies with the color of the
light employed, being greatest for yellow
light.

Hereditary Longevity.

Queen Victoria, on the occasion of
the opening of the Southampton Docks
conferred the honor of knighthood on
the Chairman OF the Dock Company,
Steuart Macnaghten, and public refer.
ence to his ancestry, has developed Il
curious case of hereditary longevity.
The new Knight is seventy-fve years
old, and his grandfather was born in the
reign Of Charles IL. To make the aston
ishing fact seem more incredible, this
boy, born in 1879, was the nominal
Colonel of regiment at the Battle of
the Boyne, nine years later, lie married
at the age of eighty, two, and the father
of Sir Steuart was the youngest son OF
this extraordinary marriage. The grand
father himself lived to be 102 and the
father eighty-one. Under these auspices
nobody dares to imagine what limits Sir
Steuart, who is strikingly hale and well.
preserved man, does not propose to him
self.-NelO York Times.

Duels of German Students.

The usual length of the duel among
the German students is ten minutes for
freshmen and quarter of an hour for
seniors, unless an artery is cut. Then
the fight comes to an end at once, if the
doctor judges the wound to be sufficient
ly serious, and the party who infiicts the
wound is the victor. After the wounds
have been dressed reconciliation is ef-
fected; the former enemies leave the
place friends. Indeed, the duels are not
often the outcome of personal animosity.
The superfluous energy which in England
and America is worked of in outdoor
sports, in rowing, cricket or baseball,
here finds its only outlet in the duel. II
these duels were always harmless one
could dismiss them with laugh, as only
one other form of the inevitable and even
enviable folly of youth. But unfor-
tunately there is another side TO the pic
turc. Sometimes the duel is the result
of a deep and deadly hatred, and then it
is fought out even to the death. The
comparatively harmless schlager is dis
carded, and in its place the pistol or the
saber is substituted. No silly child's
play here, but grim and wicked earnest.

Likes the Sting of the Bee.

Some obstinate men will say "No,
thank you," to the most disinterestcd
propositions for their welfare. DR..
O'Neill, of Lincoln, as he tells us in this
weeks Lancet, has friend who endures
the sting of the honey bee without finch
ing. In fact, he rather likes it. He
keeps bees for pleasure, and the bees, for
their pleasure or otherwise, often sting
him. He now, however, believes him
self sting proof. The tiny wound that
used to produce severe pain in former
days causes now "only little pleasurable
sensation" He is still unfortified against
the wasp. Stung by one of those for
midable insects a short time ago, DR..
O'Neill's friend had sufferings acute and
prolonged. But it might be, says DR..
O'Neill, that after a few repetitions the
sting of the wasp might cease in hlm to
produce its singing effects. So he
has suggested to his friend that "for
the sake of science he should take the
matter up and thoroughly investigate it,
in order that he might discover whether
he could not also fortify himself against
the pain caused by the sting of the wasp. "
This, says the doctor, with whose disap-
pointmeut the public will no doubt SYM
pathize, the friend "declined to do, his
thirst for science not being sufficiently
great to induce him to have any further
intercourse with the wasp if he could
help it."-LOndon Meirs.

WHEN DAY IS DONE.

When day is done and down the steep
OF rose-hued sky the shadows creep,
To nestle where the valley fair
Smiled through noonis sheen Of sunbright
air,
And wrap the drowsy folds in sleep
y
Then does a solemn essence sweep
Athwart the soul and vigil keep,
As faithful mourners keel in prayer,
When day is done.
In that strange hush, dear God, we weep
Our shattered hopes and blindly reap
The scattering grain, the wealth Of tare,
That meets our hand. In weak despair
We seek thy throne, as wayworn sheep,
When day is done.

to both host and guest Is in some respects
desirable, yet in other respects it is un.

sometimes be hard drain upon the

notes, and was listened to very atten-
lively. After eulogizing the character OF
Enoch ve-y highly, and representing II
as " rthy the imitation OF every one, he
referred to the spirit world saying that he
WAS as fully convinced OF Its existence as
he was convinced of the existence OF
London. He urged all who wsh to be
happy to walk with God, ss Enoch did,
ard con 'orm their conduct to his man
dates. The true disciple will show his
sincerity by his acts. lie said he knew q
man 10 Florida who pretended TO be-
lieve he would go to heaven at death,
although he daily was guilty of sicniug.
On being reminded OF lisiuconsistency,
be replied that he would be saved
through his belief In Christ, and other
persons had no further assurance oil sal
walton. The preacher, however, urged
that salvation depended on conduct at
well as faith, and therefore urged the
NJ ccssily OF prl,ticlng holy living IL
