OLDEST PLAOE;IN AMERICA.
According to Agassiz and Others 1t Is in
the Adirondacks.

According to Agassiz and others 1t Is in
the Adirondacks.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"Do you know the Oldest place in all Amer
ica"' said Gen. John B. Henderson, of st.
Louis, to circle of friends last week 81 don't
mean the Oldest town in the country or on the
continent, but the land first found on the West
ern Hemisphere. No? Well, l thought not. 1t
is Mount Marcy, in the Adirondack Mountains.
Agassiz and other geologists have figured out
that Mount Marcy was the point of land that
made its appearance first above the water when
the Western Hemisphere was evolved. | have
summer home near Mount Marcy, and know
that the rocks are azoic in formation with no
trace of organic life. 1t is the highest peak of
the Adrondacks, and have travelled over that
country until L know it pretty well. John
Browns old home is only about three miles
from my house. 1t is interesting to travel
through the Adirondacks with a boat and
guides, because of the beauty of the scenery.
The formation of the mountains is peculiar.
There are many portages where the guides
carry boats across from one lake or river to an
other lake or river. These mountains are
drained by streams running into Lake Ontario,
the st. Lawrence River, Lake Champlain, the
Hudson River, and the Mohawk River. 1t is
not dangerous to ascend Mount Marcy, but it is
difficult and tiresome.n

The contract for the system on the monitor
Terror is nearing completion, the delay being
caused by the Department.
The ten-inch disappearing carriage now
building for the War Department promises to
be one Of the best features of the system, some
experiments made with miniature carriage
showing splendid results.
An appropriation Of $l2,0 900 has been made to
enable the company to build fivench siege
carriage on the disappearing principle owned
by them, and it is thought 1t can be completed
in few months.
The company had on hand something over
eight thousand dollars in cash and 1880 shares
of the stock, and there was due them for work
now being done, and which it was expected
would be completed in about four months,
$2S, 800.

eight thousand dollars in cash and 12,500 shares
of the stock, and there was due them for work

Altogether, things look very fattering, and
yet the stock will not bring over one dollar per

Tenor Worship in Paris.

Cor, ST. Louis Republic.
The perfect harmony of De Reszke's match
less voice holds multitudes enthralled and
moves his audience to ecstacies, for he sings
much as the lark does, softly, without apparent
effort, and unconsciously, as it were but with
power and expression that make hardened
women of the world weep like little children
and touches the hearts of the blase Partisan
public to the very core. He has more incense
burnt at his feet than can possibly be good for
him. Women of all classes throw themselves
into his arms not only for the sake of his hand
some face, but also because they are completely
yanquished by his wonderful voice; and there
is scarcely any folly, any madness, nay even
any shame, that the most refined members of
the cosmopolitan feminine aristocracy of Paris
now at the supreme height of fame and infu-
ence, genius and fashion, and such is wor-
shipped like demigod by society.

Character in the Mouth.

From the Evening World.
The mouth cannot deceive although the
tongue may. The character and temper write
themselves about it. The mouths of children,
imbeciles, and ignoramuses have no expression
A smiling mouth curls upward and is indicative
of amiability, gentleness, and lght-heartedness
Rosy lips are the badges of youth or good health
A pursed-up mouth belongs to the conceited
jealous, narrow, or selfish individual, Beware
of the person with thin lips-they can say cut
ting things, and their kisses may be warm, and
they can be treaeherous and poisonous Thick
lips belong to the sensualist AS a rule the
owner is good-natured animal, generous, in
dolent, and luxury loving. Hanging lips cause
the mouth to bag at the corners, as years of
malice, hate, envy, and uncharitableness aecu-
mulate Large mouths go with large nature.
Clean teeth, clean talk, and kindly smile will
beautify any mouth that was ever opened.

THE STEEL MAIDEN.
A Frightful Medieval Instrument of Tor
ture Shown in Nuremburg,


From It'd Bits.
Nuremburg, 'the cradle of invention" the
birthplace of the watch and many other useful
mechanical devices, was not alone the home of
that which is most useful and helpful to man
kind. Among some of her achievements are the
most horrible instruments of torture ever used
by the inquIsitors of the middle ages, chief
among which might be mentioned the "steel
maiden" The maiden is now kept in one of the
upper rooms of the town hall and shown to
visitors curiosity. AT first sight one is apt
to take it for n gigantic statue of woman
clumsly hewn out of wood. Closer investiga-
ton discovers two doors, one swinging to the
right and the other to the left. These open noise
lessly and reveal the fact that the statue is hol-
low, the cavity being about the exact size OF
the average man. Inside are straps by which
the offender was bound so tightly that he could
not move limb or muscle. Both of the doors are
lined with long, sharp steel spikes, strong and
thick. When the victim was firmly secured the
door on the left was slowly but firmly Shut the
long spikes going into his body, the two being
so arranged as to pierce his eyes. Then the door
on the right was closed in similar manner,
Whereupon he would receive another compile
ment of spikes, the closing of the door, as before
being done very slowly that the torture of the
person in the embrace of the "maiden" might be
as prolonged as possible. Death did not come
until the last spike was driven through hole in
the door into the heart of the victim. Taken
from the "maiden'sn embrace he was ground to
minee meat and thrown into the river as food
for the fishes.

Stale Bread.

tits generally supposed that the fact thst
bread grows stale arises from the bread be-
coming actually drier by the gradual loss
of water; but this is not the case. Stale
bread contains almost exactly the same
proportion OF water as new bread after II
has become completely cold. The change
is merely in the internal arrangement of
the molecules of the bread A proof of
this is. that If we put stale loaf into q
closely covered tin, expose it for half An
hour or an hour to heat not eXeeedin &
that of boiling water, and then allow 1t TO
cool, it will be restored in appearances and
properties TO the state of new bread

HIS STARLIGHT

You who at my elbow sit,
BY whose eyes my lines are Lii
How shall any poes's pen
Go aniss or faiter when
Stars like these shine out above
Beacons kindled there by love
tightening up the paths below
Where he Wenders to and fro!
Is It strange the rhymes should kiss
Under such spell as this,
They but mimic those, my sweet
Who OF cid we're wont to meet
Meet and lnger at the bars,
Making love beneath the stars;
We ourselves were happy rhymes
In those dear betrothal times.
Take this lyric; every line
But reflects the stars that shine
Ger my shoulder, telling me
OF my sweethearts constancy;
And if any words appear
Vague or needless, say you, Here
Went cloud across his skies;
This is where its shadow lies.
But il any turn or phrase
Tempt your lips to list its praise
Know you there the poet caught
From your eyes the graceful thought;
AL the merits of his song
To those constant stars belong
To those tender eyes that i'm
Full with love to gladden. mimi
