Inveterate smokers may comfort tfT
selves with the knowledge that as far q
the use of tobacco is concerned they hayf
improved upon their forefathers; for q
one period of its history smoking was S
common that it was actually practised ii
church. English clergymen smoked dun
ing the intervals of divine worship. ~M5
people take long hymns" said DOctO,
Parr, "but 1 prefer a long pipe" Sin
Walter Scott, in his Heart of Midlo
THAN, refers to one Duncan of Knock
dunder, an important parsonage whd
smoked during the whole of the sermon
from an iron pipe, tobacco borrowed
from other worshippers. We are told
that "at the end of the discourse he
knocked the ashes out of his pipe, re-
placed it in his sporran, returned the to-
bacco pouch to its owner, and joined in
the prayer with decency and attention.
The Puritan fathers were greatly addicted
to smoking; indeed, the practice became
so common that even these strait-laced
observers of times and seasons smoked in
church. This custom soon caused very
considerable annoyance, as the religious
exercises were greatly disturbed by the
clinking of flints and steels to light their
pipes and by the clouds of smoke. Hence,
in the year 1869, the colony passed law
that any one who smoked in or within
two miles of the meeting house should be
fined. 1t is not generally known that tho
word equity" as applied to a species OF
clay pipe very much used, is a corruption
of Kutaieh, the name of city in Asia
Minor, where a species of soft white
stone is found which is exported by the
Turks to Germany for the manufacture
Of tobacco pipes.

The screwdriver is found not only IN
the tool chest of every mechanic, but ID
most houses. and ia not few offices. Ii
ranks with the hammer, the saw, and axe
in general utility, and yet very few per-
sons know anything about how 1t should
ha sbarpeued so as TO do its work most
efficiently; that is, with the least expen-
diture of power and the least INJURY 10
rhe heads Of screws.
In driving screw into the wood, the
force used to press the screwdriver aSalns'
the head of the screw tends to aid the IaC-
ter in penetrating the wood; but when
we attempt to extract a screw, every
round of pressure that we apply tends
20 render it more difficult to get the
screw out. 1t therefore becomes very
important that the screwdriver should
DC so formed that it may be kept in the
Dick of the screw by the exertion OF
The very least degree of force, for If 1t has
any tendency to slip out, we can keep ls
in place only by applying pressure, 10
which case we run great risk of inJurlng
The nick and rendering it impossible to
draw the screw.
If we examine a screwdriVer IN the
condition in which it is ordinarily found,
we shall find that it presents section IN
which the sides of the wedge, in which
all screwdrivers terminate, are curves
with the convex sides outward. Now,
the effect of thus curving the sides OF
this wedge is to render it greatly more
obtuse. Moreover, when we turn the
screwdriyer, the tendency to slip out of
the nick is just in proportion to the OBJ
tuseness OF buntness of the wedge, and,
therefore, this form is the very worst
that can be chosen. In the hands of
most good workmen, therefore, we find
that the screwdriver ends in a wedge, OF
which the sides are perfectly straight.
This is a very good form, but Is not
equal to form in which the sides Of tho
wedge are curves, but with the concavo
sides turned outward. In this way
we lessen the obtuseness of the wedge
at the extreme point, and produce turn
screw which may be kept in the nick by
the least pressure endwise. To grind
screwdriver into this form it is necessary
to use a very small grindstOne, and many
of the artificial stones found in the mar
Eet answer admirably.

Oysters on Trees.

The other day heard somebody speak
of "oysters hanging upon the branches
of trees on the borders of Chesapeake
Bay"
That sounds like fairy tale, thought
I to myself.
l determined to investigate. So said:
II always supposed that oysters grew
under water. never knew they hung in
clusters on tree. branches like apples.
Curious sort of oysters those must he
which grow on trees along the banks of
the Chesapeake"
chesapeake Bay has the finest kind of
oysters, said the Talking Man. "The
reason they are sometimes found grow.
ing on tree branches is this: The spawn
of the oyster floats about in the water
tossed by wind and waves. 1t has the
quality of attaching itself firmly to any
solid substance it touches. Sometimes il
might be the bottom of a ship, rock, OF
q tree branch. You know the bottom o.
a ship often needs scraping on account OF
the shell fish adhering to it.
"NOw the branches of trees often drOOp
into the water They do it along the
borders of the Chesapeake the same as
the bank of any river or bay. AT high
tide such branches will be covered With
water, and when the tide goes back, tho
branches come to.the surface again.
"The spawn sticks on those bough.
when they are beneath the waves. In &
few days the tiny oysters begin to de.
veIop, and before long, at every low tide,
the branch can be seen hanging out, with
little oysters hanging all over it.
Sometimes branch which is often un
der water will be nearly covered with
small oysters. 1t looks very odd, but its
q common enough sight down there.
Grow? They don't grow very large
to be sure. To attain perfection an oyster
must be always under water, and these
hang half the time out of it. When they
ere exposed too long to the hot sun, they
die Their weight often causes them t.
fall Off
Little oysters are sometimes trans
planted. Not off tree branches, but from
the beds at the bottom of the bay.
They are planted in oyster beds in other
places, where, in a couple of years, they
grow to maturity"
at sounds funny to talk of picking
oysters off trees, said 1, "or even of see
ing them grow there.
Funny enough But they do grow
there. I've seen it lots of times, said
the Talking Man. THAT'S the way queer
stories get about. Somebody hears
thing and does not understand the sense
Of it. And most people never stop to ask
what it means. They either repeat tho
story for marvel, or say they don't be-
lieve it. "

African PIRmies.

During the very hungriest time spent
by Stanley's expedition in going through
the dense forest it happened that the dis
covery of little child of the dwarf
r.be proved truly providential.
Upon approaching one of the settle
ments of these people, the natives fear.
ing that the Arabs were upon them, has
tily retreated to the depths of the jungle,
leaving in the village one of the young
children. He was an ungainly little
creature, and from Saleh's description
had an enormously big head, protuding
lower jaw, and an ungainly fat body.
The Zanzibaris sat about in detected
groups, complaining of theirpresent hard
existence, and the sad contrast of to-day
with their joyous life in their island
home away i'll the Indian Ocean. The
little Teki-Teki (pigny), although not
more than three years old, was busiIy
searching for something in the dry
leaves. The Zanibaris were attracted by
the child's activity. Presently the
sparkle of his eyes and the increased
earnestness of his hunt showed that he
had been successful; and, indeed he re-
turned to the campfire carry ing lot of
pods like enormous beans. These he
Bcraped to a fine powder, which he
damped, rolled in some big leaves, and
then toasted in the ashes. When cooked
TO his satisfaction he opened the dainty
package and the whole camp became
illed with the pleasant odor of this new
dish. The men of the expedition then
closed around and, much to the Young
Teki-Teki's disgust, helped themselves tC
q tasting pinch.
The Zanabaris knew the tree uuita
well; it was the "makneme." This dis.
covery brought gleam of hope to the
hearts Of these hungry beings. Tho
capture of the tiny woodsman was a
godsend, and Selah said that had this
unhappy little creature understood their
language he would have been over.
whelmed with the heartfelt blessings
showered on him. A few days afterward
another tribe of these same small people
was met, and the child was handed owe,
to them to be returned to his parents.
