| Fer pluck under difficulty and disaster
it must bs allowed that Sarah BGrnes, of
| Montgomery county KY, bears away the
palm. Recently she fed from home with
her cousin, Butler Barnes Arriving at
Cincinnau the yo2ng couple learned that
the laws of Ohio did not sanction the mar
| riage of people so nearly related AS they.
| Therefore they procured a carriage and
| sped across the river to Cevington, Ky.
| The driver took them to the county clerks
| office for the purpose of obtaining a license.
He left his horses unhitched while he
went in, and the passage Of IN electric cal
| frightened the animals so that they ran
away. They made dash up Third street
at a fearful rate Of speed, while the intend
ed bride and groom were scpsaIaing yocif-
eroUsly for help There were lew people
on the street Mt the time, and conseq uently
there was no attempt made TO stop the
horses. When 1t reached Garrard street
the carriage struck a lamp pest. The
horses were thrown down and the carriage
capsized- The occupants were unable to
extricate themselves. and police officers
who were in the neighborhood hastened to
their rescue and pulled them from the
wreck. Mr.. Barnes received several small
cuts, but was not seriously injured. Miss
Barnes was not SO fortunate.
Her left arm was broken, and she had
several bruises about the head and face
Her clothes were badly torn, and she did
not present exactly the appearance of a
bride. The couple, however, had started
to get married and did not propoae to al
low little thing like ru nawhy accident
to stop them.
After they had. arranged their clothes
they walked around to the county clerks
Office, where things were made M comfort
able as possible for them. When the young
lady had recovered from the shock license
was issued, and Judge Shine was seAt for
and tied the ,nuptial knot. The young
couple were doubly congratulated by the
little group Of persons that witnessed the
eerem9say n .,.,.n. ~.
The priests of Thebes aud Memphi,
made great advances In the knowledge
OF the art OF extracting metals, of forming
alloys, and of making vessels aud tools out
Of them. They distinguished crude gold
from refined gold, and could work that
metal up into variety OF articles. They
fed the hope that they might be able to
obtain it by coloring asemon or silver
yellow. OF the latter metal they made
money, the value OF which was guaranteed
by an impressed image. They extracted
gold and silver from electrum, a mineral
containing both substances, but which
metal like them. This was what led them
to the notion of transmutation.
The Egyptians designated as "chesbet"
several kinds of blue or green sapphres
colored with cobalt or copper, They made \
incrustations, amulets, necklaces and vari-
GUS ornaments of them. They succeeded
in compounding an artificial chesbet re-
semblng the natural stone. A fact worthy
of remark in the matter is that this was
done by ''the assimilation of colored sub
stance, a precious stone, an enamel,
vitrifed color with metals"
This assimilation suggested the new idea |
Of dyeing, "for the imitation OF the sap
phire rests on the coloring of large mass, |
colorless by itself, but constituting the Wit |
rifiable basis, which we dye by the aid of a |
small quantity of coloring matter. With |
enamels and colored glasses thus prepared |
the natural precious stones were repro. |
duced. They were covered with figures,
with objects Of earth or stone, and wers in |
crusted with metallic objects, IN. Louis |
