Eve Measurements.

A good eye is an almost essential re-
quisite in a good mechanic, says the
Manufacturers Gazette. No one can
ever attain distinction as a mechanic
unless he is able to detect ordinary
imperfections at sight, SO, that he can
see if things are out of plumb, out Of
level, out OF square and out of proper
shape, and unless he can also detect dis
proportioned patterns. This is n great
mechanical attainment, and one which
can be readily attained by any ordinary
person. OF course, there are defective
eyes, as there are other defective
organs; the speech, for instance, is
sometimes defective, but the eve is
susceptible of the same training as any
organ The muscles, the voice. the
sense OF hearing, all require training.
Consider how the artist must train the
organ Of sight in order TO detect the
slightest imperfection in shade. color
proportion, shape, expression. etc. Not
one blacksmith in five ever attaius the
art of hammering square. Yet it is very
essential in his occupation. It is
simply because he allows himself to get
into careless habits; a little training
and care are all that is necessary for
success

FAMOUS OLD CHURCH,
The Sanctuary In Which the Father az

Well-nigh in it's original condition
there stands at Alexandria, Va, one of
the oldest and most interesting church

Herald. It's architect bore the name of
Wren-not Sir Christopher, whose MEM
DRY is perpetuated by st. Pauls cathe-
dral, but certain James Wren of some
reputation. On February 1, 1866, by
virtue of an act passed the previous
year, the parish of Fairfax was divided
from that Of Truro, and in the same
year vestry of twelve gentlemen was
elected Col George Washington was
one of these. In November, 1866, the
vestry ordered an assessment upon the
parish of 81, 1s5 pounds of tobacco to
build two churches. one at Falls and
the other at Alexandria In the speci-
fcations for the latter, which James
Parsons agreed to erect for $500, it was
stipulated that the shingles were TO be

An Arabian Legend.

An Arabian caliph by the name of Al,
manor was once riding along the river
Tigris when he resolved TO build city
there. While he was telling his courtiers
OF his design, an old hermit came for
ward and said that tradition had fore
told that great city would be raised
on that beautiful plain, and that the
bUilder's name would be Nicolas. st
this the courtier did not know what to
do, fur their caliph's name was entirely
different; but when Almanzor heard Of
il. he got down from his horse and gave
thanks Then he told the people that
when he was young and obliged TO live
in the country, he had very little
money, and one day, when he had none
at all, took his nurses bracelet and
pawned IL This aneered the cid wom-
al very much, and she bestowed upon
AlInanzor the name of Nicolas, who was
a famous robber. So when the caliph
heard what the hermit had 10 say, be
knew that he was the man sud SO shs

Who would think, to look at big
railway locomotive, that it could by
any possibility be put together in less
than one day? A London paper states
that the feat was accomplished at the
Stratford works of the Great Eastern
railway of England. The locomotive
was standard freight locomotive of
the six-coupled type, weighing more
than thirty-seven tons and able to haul
a load of 500 tons" From the driving
of the first rivet to the application of
the final coat of varuish the work oc-
cupied less than ten hours.

~ all the marbles that rattle around
and wear holes in the pockets of all lit
tie boys on earth are made in the state
of Thuringia, Germany. On winter
days the poor people who live in viii
lagos gather together small square
stones, place them in mills somewhat
like big coffee mills, and grind them
until they are as round as SO many bull
lets. The marbles made in this way are
the common china, painted china,
glazed china, imitation agates and black
and white ballots. These are very
cheap, ranging in price according TO
size, from ten to sixty for five cents.
Imitation agates are made from white
stone and are painted to represent the
pride of the marble players heart-the
real agate. The painted china marbles
are of plain white stone with lines cross
ing each other at right angles painted
upon them. The ballots are little black
and white marbles that look as if they
would never stop rolling if once set in
motion by boys thumb and forefnger.

sudden Keputations.

Mrs Kendall is fond Of telling story
about a minor actor who played with her
and her husband some years ago In the Eng
hsh provinces, and who made himself
famous by the utterance Of one word. The
play was called Blanche" by Arthur
Sketch.ey, and at particular moment it
was the cue Of this actor, VINO was in the
character Of a black servant, TO come for
ward and exclaim liar" TO one who had
made a false accusation. He did this in
such peculiar way that he got the only
applause during the entire piece and after
ward became great. There are several such
instances in the theatrical history Of San
Francisco The late Fred Franks, for
example, playing the valet of the Duke
Of Argyle in BOucicaults 'Jeanie Deans,
got round after round OF applause
when he told the Duke the Scotch girl had
Travelled so many miles and "a bttock' to
pIrad with him for the life Of her sister
Efie. Twas the way in which he uttered
the word ''bitt0ck" that fetched the APP
pIause Franks would have became famous
had 10 continued an actor; bat he went
into stocks and grew rich instead. Then
there was jimmy BarrOws, who played
second statiOn-k keeper on a western railroad
in around the World in Eighty Days"
at the Grand. When he exchanged an opin-
ion with his colleague about the weather or
a prospect Of a visit from the Indians, he
rounded it ND with Don't you think so,
Bi@ The phrase became a catch one on
the streets, and BarrOws' theatrical reputa-
ton was made with possible fortune, also.
