Reading by Moonlight.

Reading novels at midnight by the
light Of the moon is not known in the
United States, but according to the En-
glish wife Of Sig. Gregorio Revuelto, of
Guatemala, it is no uncommon thing to
see a senorita reclining in a hammock
with a book in her hand on her fathers
veranda in the Costa Cuca district, Qua
temala, between - and 1 o'clock in the
morning. Sig. Revuelto is a wealthy
coffee planter, and is in this country, &C
companied by his wife and sister-in-law,
on a pleasure trip. The travellers are
restored at the Grand Pacific hotel.
There are 10 moonlight nights in this
country or in England like we have in
Guatemala" said the Spanish planters
wife. The moon at certain periods of
the month is so bright that it is as light
outdoors as during the day. English
and American poets write about the sub
lime August moon, etc. They should
see a moon in Guatemala during the time
it is full. They would then have some
thing to go into ecstasies about Chi

All on Account of a Hen,

Twas only a little hen, with a Topped
comb and a flushed face, hat broke up
the passionate Of an able Maine parson.
She used to sneak under the fence, you
know, just the way hens do always, tip
toe across the grass border with the min
net step and then the elders garden had
to take it. Of course it was aggravat-
ing. Did you ever watch a hen at this
job?
She trips carelessly into the middle OF
the garden bed: she cocks her head; a
careless look OH into her eye; she bal,
ances partners with q flip and a scrape tC
the right, a hirt and a kick to the left, a
double shuttle and a grand skirt dance
flourish. Then she looks for grub.
Well, that person saw the whole thing
for days; same hen, sam gestures, and
she came in miraculously, astonishingly,
through a new hole every day. Then
came at length wrath and a girding Of
the loins; a gun, bang!-dead hen float
ing upon the placid breast of a river
eddy. The current washed the corpse
upon the neighbours strand and then the
neighborhood heard the tale. The atroci-
ty was famed vigorously and akhe poor
parson found that he was not to be an
assassin and the leader Of the parish at
the same time. Therefore his farewell
sermon.-Dexter Gazette.

A popularity Of the schoolboy mind is

How Soundin@s Are Made.

To get correct soundings in deep water
is difficult. The best invention for that
purpose is a shot weighing about thirty
pounds, which carries down a line.
Through this shot or sinker a hole is
drilled, and through the hole is passed a
rod of iron which moves easily back and
forth. At the end of the bar a cup is dug
out, the inside being coated with lard.
The bar is made fast to the line, a sling
holding the shot in position. When the
bar, whichextends below the shot, touches
the bottom the sling unhooks, and the
shot slides downward and drives the lard
coated cup into the sand at the bottom.
In that way the character Of the oceans
floor is determined. st. Louis Republic.

Evolution of the Knife.

This caseful Of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool which we call the knife, beginning
from the earliest times" said Professor
Mason at the National museum. "First,
you observe, is the fragment Of flint,
which the savage split by banging it on
top with a stone hammer into a number
of flakes. The smaller ones were used
for arrow points and the bigger ones fol
knives, their edges being split off SC
sharp that You might almost shave with
some of them. Next you see the flint
inserted into a handle Of split wood OF
bone, and as farther improvements, the
f~astenings of this primitive knife in the
handle by the rosin Of trees and by cord
of n sort OF another bound around to
secure it.
"The most beautiful knife in the col
lection is this exquisitely nodded blade
Of greenish jade, belonging to the stone
age, branded with d walrus tusk. You
a hardly find a more admirably form
ed weapon among the products of mod.
ern cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailors knife,
square at the end instead of pointed, tc
prevent stabbing in O. row, or the dan.
gerous falling of the weapon from aloft.
Its blade drops out at the end of the
handle when a spring is touched, SC
