The Judge and the Witness.

Even the dignity which hedges round the judicial bench is not always safe pro tection from conscious or unconscious sarcasm ot 100 blunt witnesses. A cer- tain judge who, when denuded of his of- fcial wig, was as bald as billiard ball, had before him, by a strange irony of fate, a dispute as to the real proprietor ship of patent hair restorer. During the progress os the case the judge, who sometimes indulged in little sarcasm at the expense of a witness, asked bland ly whether the restorer had ever been known to restore wornout broomheads to their pristine condition of hirsute lux uriance, or the lost bristles to old clothes brushes.
 Of course there was laugh, and the judges wit was rewarded with looks of admiration. But the witness, to show that he had every faith in its being a sure hope for human badness at least, replied very innocently that, "If l didn't know it was necessary for your lordship to always wear wig in this court. l should have declared that you had ex- perimented with my hair restorer on yourself.

How the Musical Scale Wa. Invented.


 How was the musical scale first invent ed? That query, which has troubled the theorists of all lands, and has had its answer hitherto only in mystifying speculations and unintelligible theories, the Chinese will reply to by legend most ingenious and most apropos, which, they hold, offers complete explanation of the mystery In the reign of Hoang- ty, they say, there was once a prince called Lyng-lun, who was the most beau- tiful man and at the same time the most profound musician in China. He, under pain of a severe penalty by the order loving emperor, was commanded to ar range and regulate Chinese music on the same principle whereon Hoang-ty had arranged law and politics through out the Chinese empire.
 Full of thought Lyng-lun wandered to the land of Si-jaung, where the bamboos grow. Having taken one of them he cut 1t of between two of the knots, and pushing out the pith blew into the hol. low. The bamboo uttered a most beau tiful note, to Lyng-lun's intense surprise. Simultaneously the river Hoang-ho. which ran boiling by, roared with its waves, and the tone was in unison with the note of the bamboo. Behold, cried Lyng-lun, "the fundamental sound of natureV Two magical birds then came and perched themselves upon some trees near, and sang one after the other the seven notes of the scale, starting from the tone which had been roared by the Hoang-ho and warbled by the bamboo.
 Here is scale, say the Chinese, at once ineligible, inimitable and easily revealed. Lyng-lun had merely to cut seven more bamboos and tune them to the pitches he had heard, and the scale was made This he did; and thus was the art of music inaugurated and found- ed by Hoang-ty's court musician on a firm and unalterable basis.-Chambers' Journal

Men Who Do Not Smoke.

There is a prevalent idea that men who abstain from tobacco indulge to ex- cess in some other stimulant. There is some truth in this. Balzac, who es- chewed tobacco as a weed that injured the body, attacked the intellect and stu pefed the nations, drank great quanti- ties of coffee, which produced the terri ble nervous disease that shortened his life.
 Goethe was nonsmoker. So was Niebuhr. But the former is computed to have drank some 50,0O0 bottles of wine during his lifetime, and the latter took tremendous quantity of snuff. Nevertheless it must be acknowledged that a very large number of brain work CTS indulge in no stimulants whatever, or use them very sparingly.-

The Magnetic Button Fastener.

A clever adaptation of electricity is found in the magnetic button fastener. The difficulty in the common machines has been the absence of plan sufficient ly simple for feeding the buttons from the receiving hopper on the top of the machine down the tube leading to the stamping mechanism. This is now ef- fected by the magnet, which, playing up and down in the hopper through slot in the bottom, attracts several of the loose buttons at each upward movement. On the downward stroke the buttons which cling to the magnet are rubbed off into little trough

A N0NCONDUCTOR.

They had told me that she was a soul less creature, frivolous and light; that the sole preoccupation, the one aim of her life was pleasure In fact l had made her acquaintance at a ball, sur rounded by an infinite variety of ador- CTS, smiling, disdainful, allowing herself to be worshiped, completely indifferent Naturally, after a turn of the waltz, in which she floated, light and elegant, l remained an enthusiast in regard to her, and since the reputation of skeptic, given me by my friends, was not well merited, joined the crowd of vain wor- shippers that surrounded the goddess. Did she notice my devotion? l do not know! know that sometimes the pro found gaze of her large black eyes, rest ing upon me, seemed to become melan- choly, thoughtful But it was momen- tary, for then that expression disappeared under her customary smile. That espe- cial evening, leaning her arm on the rail ing of her theater box, she had turned toward me one of her enigmatical glances, accompanied by slight bending of the head.

 So longl It was not even Q month; not knowing what to reply, silently assent ed with smile. She did not appear satisfied with my manner, and bursting into one of her gay laughs, she said:
 But do not you remember? At Venice, on the Lido, l came with my cousin, Signora Lini, and you with Giorgio Ri- goli; have you forgotten us: am sorry, because wished this evening, recalling those memories, that you should pay little court to mel!
