THEY KNEW IT ALL

The ancient Gaub used . reaping ma,
chine. Hobbs gave his name to lock
found in the tomb Of Egypt. q
Coins were stamped with engraved die
80 far back that we have lost the record
and movable types are said to have been
known to the Romans.
In all that pertains to sculpture and
painting the ancients knew so much that
their superiority has never been questioned
and their work remains as unsurpassed
models.-Chicago Times.
We make some very fine razors at the
present day. but we cannot make any finer
steel than that contained in the Damascus
swords and knives which the ancients used
several thousand years ago.
All the mechanical powers, the screw
lever. pulley, incline plane, wedge, wheel
and axle, were known to the ancients and
used in every Gay life They were expert
builders, as existing relics testify.
In our schools at the present day we use
"Euclid's Elements of Geometry" written
by Euclid 1900 years ago. Euclid also
wrote on music and optics, antedating
much which we think we discovered.
Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes
was utilized in China centuries ago, and one
of the Mongolian authors writes of boxes
which repeated the sound Of voices OF men
phonograph of Edison.
The people Of Tyre were such experts in
dyeing that the Tyrian purple remains un-
excelled to this day. The Egyptians were
also wonderful dyers, and could produce
colors so durable that they may be called
imperishable.
The ancients were wonderful glass work
ers and discovered a method of making it
malleable, which we have not been able to
do. They could spin glass into garments,
dye it in every shade of the rainbow and
etch it with marvellous skill.
Layard found in the ruins of Nineveh
what Sir David Brewster pronounced to be
'magnifying glass" and nearly 4, 900 years
ago the Egyptians and Assyrians observed
the stars through Sliding tube" which
we have reason to believe was telescope.
Twenty centuries before the birth of Watt
Hero of Alexandria described machines
whose motive power was steam He also
invented double force pump, used as a fire
engine, and anticipated the modern tur-
bane wheel by machine he named ''Neol-
pile"
The science of optics must have been
pretty far advanced in the days of Alexander
the Great, because we know that he had a
copy of the "Iliad" inclosed in a nutshell,
and it is quite certain that it could not
have been written without the aid of q
microscope
In medical skill the oriental physicians
of India practiced vaccination 1000 years
ago. Anasthetics were known in the days
of Homer, and the Chinese 2,0Oo years ago
yo," to deaden pain-something similar to
the modern cocaine

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

Telephones are now being introduced or
men-of-war.
Siam is to have s4Oo, 600 electric railway
thirty miles long.
The boom Of electricity from the com.
mercial manufacture of aluminium cannot
be overestimated.
There are no less than 10000 nautical
miles of cable soaking today in salt water
and transmitting intelligence under the
ocean fishes.
No less than forty-nine miles of electric
street railway lines, owned by five distinct
companies, were completed and put in
operation in Denver, Colo, last year.
That the storage battery has come to stay
is the conviction of some of the soundest
electricians in England and America, the
opinions of distinguished inventors to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
The Electrical Age (New York; prints q
two column editorial tending to show that
the Bell telephone patents have expired,
so far as their use in this country is con-
cerned.
A new idea in arc lamps is the substitu-
ton of a hollow carbon cylinder for the
usual upper carbon point and disc for
the lower rod. The edges of the cylinder
and disc are in contact and the light is
formed at that point.
A German scientist applied mild cur
rent of electricity to swarm of bees,
quickly causing them to fall to the ground
in stupefed condition. The bees could be
safely handled while in this condition No
injury was done to them.
A belt now being made for a Louisiana
electric light company viii be the largest
in the world. 1t is to be six feet wide, 1863
feet long, and will take the skins of I15
animals to complete it. When finished it
will weigh 10000 pounds and cost $4,000,
or about $40 square foot.

ATCHISON PHILOSOPHY.
Love will digest anything.


Two persons who have lied to each other
can never become sincere friends.
\ man never gets so poor that he can't
borrow trouble without security
There are few who can help a needy
person without afterwards telling some
body.
When a man is cross it is an evidence
that he is suffering; he is entitled to sym
patty, not reproaehes.
Watch the hand that pats you on the
back. Nine times out Of ten it will after
wards grope its way into your pockets
You have only to say that a woman is
pretty TO hear some one else in the crowd
say, Yes, but she hasn't much sense.
Some men address peo.le In the wsy 8
farmer calls his pigs to corn, and then
wonder that they are not more popular.
A philosopher IS man who can feel as
easy over his own troubles as he does over
MS neishoor's, There are no philosophers.

LITERARY woMEN's ATTIRE.

Ouida dresses absurdly. She strives at
ter juvenility always. Her hair she wear:
in curly crop bound by band of blue
ribbon.
Mrs. Hodgson- Burnett wears dresses

the shades which Mrs. Burnett favors
most

uresquely. She does her hair in the marquise
style. Her favorite materials are brocaded
velvet and brocaded silk. She has superb
necklace of intaglios that she wears on
swagger occasions.
The most charitably disposed person
could not say that Miss Braddon ever
wears nice clothes. She likes solid colors
and affects velvet. Her gowns have many
furbelows about them. She wears large
diamond eardrops of an evening.
Mrs. Cashel-Hoey's style is queer, but
you get used to it. She generally has on
some priceless old point lace. A lace shawl
that she wears occasionally must be worth
a couple of hundred pounds if it is worth a
penny. Mrs. Hoey always wears mourning.
Mrs Campbell -Praed wears gowns of the
most recherche description. In the even
ing she affects rich, delicate brocades. Her
gowns are cut in simple fashion, but they
are always rather decollete. Mrs. Praed 8
day dresses are modest and ladylike in tone.
Lady Wilde is quite the grande dame.
She dresses in handsome silks, more or less
sad in color and wears long trains. Her
hair is dark and luxurious and she ar
ranges it in a peculiar fashion under a
high head dress. Lady Wilde has an inn
mense Partially for jewelry.
Mrs. Walford is every inch dowager in
her attire. She likes heliotrope, and the
rich, heavy materials she goes in for would
look better in curtains than in dresses.
Mrs. Walford is an accomplished woman.
She spins, embroiders and paints beauti-
fully.
Mrs. Stannard dresses smartly. Her
style is trife severe. In the evening she
generally gives black the preference. Any
thing in the way of f1ummery she detests
Her day dresses are always tailor made
well built, without crease or wave any
where.
Marie Corelli, being very petite, goes in
for simple dresses. Light blue and pale
pink are cOlors that become her well. She
wears both, and sometimes comes out in
all white. She believes thoroughly in the
beauty sleep" and nothing on earth would
keep her out of bed after IL o'clock.-Lon-
don Star.
