Curtis, Happy Response.

George William Curtis made a very
happy response to the praises of friends
at dinner given at the Tavern Club, OF
Boston, some years since upon his birth
day. DIR. Holmes, Mr.. Lowell and Presi-
dent Norton had all had their say and
said it well, when Mr.. Curtis was called
upon to respond. By way of illustrating
his own case he told the story of an
Oriental Prince and his mentor. Prince
and mentor walked abroad one day, the
latter carrying in his hand a jar, which
he presently uncorked. From the open
mouth of the vessel rose gas, and this
the mentor ligh ed. Thick fumes curled
up from the burning gas, and gradually
took such shape that the Prince could not
help recognizing traces of his own fea-
lures, though glorifed and ennobled.
"Can it be that this pictures me?' asked
the fiattered Prince. - Yes" smiled the
mentor, "not, however, as you are, but as
you ought to be."-N. Y. Sun.

The Maidstone FaiIacv.

1.-THE maidstone story is going its
rounds again." said DR.. Arnold. at is
the property of this wonderful agent to
stick to raw surface of flesh and suck
the poison out of it. That is, the owners
say so. AS matts1 of fact, no organic
substance can suck except by the aid OF
machinery. Again, in ninety nine cases
out of 100 the dog bites are harmless, and
there is no poison to be sucked out.
Thirdly, credulity is one of the most eff
fective cures in the materia medica, AID
ought to be used oftener where people
have no real disorders. The whole
tradition of the maidstone comes
from the absorptive power of any
anhydrous mineral. Such a stone is
filed with pores, and, by a process akin
to that of capillary attraction, the water
that it has lost-in the course of CEN
turtles, perhaps-it will soak up again
when in contact with liquid. If one
wishes to know the action of maidstone
let him put piece of dry clay or shale to
his tongue. 1t will stick. There is all
there is to it. There are millions of tons
OF madstones in every State in the Union,
and every family can afford to be with
out it. These stories of mysterious stones
that have come from the far East, or that
were bought at enormous prices from
voodoos or hoodoos and wizards, are all
humbug. "-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Long-Distance Photography.

Remarkable advances are being made
in the art of photography. At the an
nual exhibition of the Photographic So
ciety of Great Britain a sensation was
produced by a photograph of Mount
Blanc, taken at a distance of fifty-s six
miles. Dallmeyer's telephotographicl lens
was used, smallest top, extension of cam
era sixty inches, with seven minutes
exposure, at 6, Is p. M, in windy weather.
The success of the telescope camera is
questionable, and opens up many inter-
esting possibilities. The securing of this
view of Mount Blanc at SO great a dis
lance affords an opportunity of instruc-
tive comparison with smaller photo
graphs taken with an ordinary lens at
similar and closer ranges. Another ex-
hibit had some scientific, though little or
no artistic attraction. Even the un-
initiated have ceased to be astonished
at the lightning records of the camera.
Daguerre found seven or eight hours ex-
posture necessary to procure copy of a
landscape that may be obtained now in
an infinitesimal fraction Of second.
Notwithstanding this familiarity with
speed, picture in the exhibition worth
noting was that of rocket in Its fig hit
from the shore to ship in distress,

A Qneer Waddinr.

A queer wedding was solemn1zed IN the
month of October, 1884, in Alsatia. The
Prince of Nassau Saar brucken gave his
twelve ear-old son in marriage with
lady OF high nobility, a Countess Won
Montbarry, eighteen years old. 1t was
stipulated that the young lady should re-
turn to her parents until the Prince be-
came full grown. Splendid festivities
were carried on at the wedding. The
whole neighborhood and especially all
the princely courts were invited. The
chases, excursions and banquets lasted
three days. The twelve year-old boy
shed tears from morning till evening, and
was furious to be the object of general
attention and curiosity. He avoided his
bride and pushed her away when she
came near him. AT the ball he refused
to dance with his spouse. They had to
threaten to beat him If he continued to
cry and promise him candy If he took
his spouse to the minuet dance. His
father undertook to console him by show
ing him a large picture book, in which
was illustrated wedding procession. AS
soon as he saw it he closed the book and
exclaimed angrily:
don't want to know anything about
weddings. They are too tiresome; and
here in the picture the bride with the
long nose looks just like mine.

a sunday ON HIonhay.

Manila is one of the most important
ports in the PHILIPPINE Islands, but
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of It's size in the world. This
curious fact is accounted for in this way
Although the PHILIPPINE Islands lie
near the Asiatic coast, they were dis
covered by Spaniards who sailed from
America. When they crossed the magic
line where Sunday changes into Monday,
these fiery dons of proud Castilian ances-
tors did not revise their calendar. When
told of this years later, when informed
that their mode of reckoning time was
not up to modern notions, they only
said that was SO much the worse for
modern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
PHILIPPINE islanders keep plodding along
one day behind the rest of the world
which reckons time by new style.

China collecting in America throws
pleasant side light on the use of tea in
this country. We are not prone to think
of Benjamin Franklin as rowing among
the shops of London to find things fol
his sideboard at home in Philadelphia.
He was, as Alice Morse Early says, a
frugal and plain living man, but he liked
good things and fashionable things and
as early as 1853 long before we were
ready to go to fighting, he was picking
up things for his Deborah in foreign
parts. He sent her melons and leaves
for dessert of fruit and cream, or the
like, designs of this nature being among
recent arrivals. 1t must be admitted
that the box also contained a jug for
beer to stand in the cooler" Deborah

How Moths Multiply.

II is now a clearly defined fact that
laexe are three distinct species of WOOL
destroying moths common to this coun-
try. The common species are light
brown in color. They begin to appear
lets in April and may occasionally be seen
Uniting about as late as August.
They pair of and the female then
searches for suitable places for the dis.
position of her eggs, working her way
into dark corners, crevices OF the walls,
cracks in the floor or deep into the folds
Of garments, apparently choosing by in
stlnct the least conspicuous places.
The moth lays from eighteen to 140 eggs
at time. From these eggs hatch, in a
period of three to seven days, the white,
soft larv@ or worms, all of which begin
to make case for themselves from the
fragments of the cloth upon which they
feed. The case is in the shape OF a hollow
roll.
The worm reaches its full growth in
thirty-six days, and then, crawling into
some yet more protected spot, remains
torpid during the winter within its
case, which by this time is thickened and
fastened at either end and is the full
sized cocoon.
1t is the thirty-six days period from
the time the eggs are laid to the time the
worm or grub reaches full size that the
damage is done.
After thorough airing of wooden
fabric for the purpose of driving out any
concealed moth-for a moth abhors light
and after time has been given to the
development of any concealed egg, you
may be reasonably sure that there is
nothing harmful on the fabric, then it is
as safe done up in a paper parcel as 1t
would be saturated and buried beneath
all the anti-moth remedies in existence.
