A laughable incident recently occurred
at Fort Fairfield. A young man at one Of
the hotels went to a magistrate and in
formed him that he wished to be married.
and that he would be around in a short
time with his lady. The justice informed
his wife of what was to happen, that every
thing might he in readiness. In short
time young gentleman, accompanied by
a young lady, called into the store of the
aforesaid matron, and as they appeared
somewhat bashful the Justices better half
supposed they were the couple who wished
to be made one, so she invited them into
the dining room, and placing a couple of
chairs quite near to'ether babe them be
seated. Very soon tine justice appeared
upon the scene, with book in hand, and
Immediately began to read the marriage
service. The young man grew very red in
the face, and springing to his feet demand
ed: "What in thunder does all this meanf''
"Why," said the magistrate, Il am going
to marry you" But" said the young fel
low, ~ don't want to get married" and he
and his girl made bold strike for the door
leaving the justice in stupor. Shortly,
however, the right couple appeared and
were made one in due form.-Caribou( Me-

The typewriter is now such universally
employed machine that it is not surprising
that it should have suggested other instru-
ments of similar character. One of these Is
a shorthand typewriter, which has been in
vented by Mr.. G. X. Anderson, Of Boston.
and by means of which an expert operator
can easily take down the words of public
speaker as rapidly as they are uttered AZ
ter five or six weeks practice an intelli-
gent person can gain speed of 100 words
per minute, at least so says the inventor.
And this would not seem to be an extrava-
giant estimate when we are told that about
$50 words can be printed by this instru-
ment with the same number of strokes
which will print only fifty words on the Or
binary typewriter. The instrument is much
simpler than its prototype, for il deals
only with the principal letters of the alpha
bet, others being represented by COM
pounds Of them. The signs are impressed
upon a moving tape, as in so many print
ing telegraphie machines now in use.-New

For cordage and other textile purposes
numberless leaves are used, and they serve
very generally for packing and wrapping
up small parcels in India. In Guiana
Tibisiri fiber is obtained from the inner
surface of the spiral leaves of the TIA palm,
Mauritia nexuosa. 1t is used by the In
dians for making hammocks, etc. The
leaves are cut before they are open, and
the midrib separated by drawing each di-
vision Of the leaf through the finger and
thumb. After drying the fiber is ready
for use without further preparation.
About n quarter Of pound may be pro-
cured from each leaf, and II the central
leaf is left uninjured no evil effect is pro-
duced from the tree. Bags and mating
could be easily and cheaply made from this
fiber, as well as hats similar to those
known as Panama.-New York Telegram.

There Is no royal road to learning; ap-
piication, work, continuity and enthusiasm
are Its conditions. 1t is true the dead
languages are not in daily use In the pull
pit, the forum or business; that science.
philosophy, history, bellies lettres do not of
themselves cure souls or patients, win
causes or coin money. 1t is true that
modern languages, with their exhaustless
stores of priceless learning, claim equal re.
gard and study. But those better and
more safely navigate the stream who know
II from source to delta, and whose vision ia
not bounded by the territory where they
ply their trade. The languages not only
give grace and accuracy to the expression
OF thoughts, open the treasure houses Of
knowledge, furnish the weapons to over
come error and prejudice, but through
them Wilkinson wrote the lives of
Pharaohs who had been forgotten before
history was born, and Layard Rawlinson
and others have dug from under the Tower
of Babel and deciphered the library of
Nebuchadnezzar, and by its testimony
overthrown the speculations of infidelity,
corroborated the Bible and buttressed the
faith Of Christendom.
Science has made plain the secrets Of
animate and inanimate nature, and phi
losophy has mapped the mind. Compan-
ionship and familiarity with the worthless,
the thoughts, the achievements and the
discoveries of other times so influence
character, so enlarge the intellect, so in
crease the ability, the grasp, and sift and
find the truth, that one SO privileged is
promoted in his vocation from a soldier to
a knight; his work is not labor, but love,
and while he adorns and honors his spe-
cialty, his manhood adds to the value and
influence Of his citizenship. We are the
heirs of all the accumulations of the past,
but we cannot prove our title and secure
our inheritance by the decree of the surro-
gate or the award of courts of probate. It
comes only through the honest acquisition
Of liberal education.-Chauncey NJ De-

Still another textile material bids fair to
rival jute. This time il is the pineapple
fiber and a Mr.. X. Blechynden, of Cal
cutta, is attempting to awaken interest to
the great economic value Of this product.
The pineapple has long been cultivated for
its fiber in India, while II is manufactured
into cloth in the Philippines and woven
into linen In China. But more recent in
designations show that when subjected to
the process of bleaching the fiber becomes
plant enough to be spun like fax and by
the same machinery. The fiber can be sub
divided into threads of such delicacy as to
be barely perceptible and yet sufficiently
strong for any purpose.-New York Tele-

We find in Theological exchange the
following sound advice to persons learning
the art Of engraving: There is no greater
hindrance to progress in learning to en-.
grave than in trying to cut with badly
set or half sharp graver. Such prac'
tice speedily engenders some of the worst
evils, 'constraint' and restraint in the
use Of graver, by which is meant the
wrist becomes stiffened, the easy motion
Of the hand impaired and the ability to
hold graver lightly materially crippled,
and thus the power to cut strokes clean,
true and free is measurably destroyed"
