A Difficulty Solved.

Sir Frederick Goldsmid tells II
amusing anecdote about the coustruc
tion, under his superintendent of ;
telegraph line from Bagdad, in Asi;
Minor, to the Persian capital Of Te
heran.
The frontier line between TurkeJ
and Persia was so undefinable that &
tract of no less than seventeen mile,
of land over which the telegraph
would have to be carried was in dis
pute, each Of the two countries claim
ing the right to its possession.
Now, the engineering stores which
our Government supplied to the
Turkish Government differed to those
supplied to the Persian Government.
The former had wooden telegraph
poles, the later iron ones. The Per
sian Government in their jealous
hatred of the Turks, feared that il
wooden poles were erected across the
disputed territory, posterity would
regard them as proof that the ter.
ritory was Turkish.
On the other hand, the Turks Oh
iected to iron poles being used, lest
IN the far future they should be ad.
duced by Persia as evidence that the
land was hers.
The way Sir Frederick contrived tc
get out Of the difficulty did credit {,
his ingenuity and resource. He sci
up first wooden pole, then an irou
one, then another wooden, then ar
iron again, and so on-alternatins
wood an iron-ror the whole scycO
teen miles.

Losing and Forgetting.

A successful business man said
there were two things he learned
when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterwards Of great use to Dim.
namelV-'.Never to lose anything,
and never to forget anything
An old lawyer sent him with an i'm
portant paper. with certain instruc-
tions what to do with it. But" in-
quired the young man, suppose
lose it, what shall l do them"
"You must not lose it."
II don't mean to-" said the young
man, "but suppose l should happen
to?"
But l say you must not happen to
| shall make no provisions for such
an occurrence; you must not lose it,"
This put new train of thought In
che young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do any
thing he could do it. He made such
provision against every contingency
that he never lost anything. He
found this equally true about forget
ting.
If a certain matter of importanc.
was to be remembered he pinned it
down In his mind. fastened it there,
and made 1t stay. He used to say:
"When man tells me he forgets to
do something, l tell him he might as
well say, I do not think enough of
my business to take the trouble to
think of it again."

ploy, said another gentleman, who
deemed it sufficient excuse for
neglecting any important duty to say,

not answer. If he was sufficiently
interested he would be careful to re-
member. 1t was because he did not
care enough that he forgot. drilled
him with this truth. He worked for

three years he was utterly changed I'D

A DOCTORS ADVICE.
q Word or Two About Gloves, As Wen ~
other Hints.

a Word or Two About Gloves, As Wen ~
other Hints.
The glove Is an essential part of a
woman's attire, as matter of adorn-
Ihent and one OF essential service.
Warmth and cleanliness, a safeguard
against variations in the weather,
and a protective influence in general,
is the function of the glove. The
flesh OF the hand is as delicate and
sensitive as that of any other portion
of the body; in fact, more so than
that OF either face or limbs. 1t
must, therefore, be furnished with a
protective covering at such times as
external conditions warrant.
Cold hands, chapped hands, rheu-
matism, and many other complaints
may often be prevented by a proper
glove, the variety of which depends
to a certain extent upon the choice OF
the wearer.
Undressed kid, silk, and Isle thread
may be classified as best. The fully
dressed kid is practically suited for
only evening wear. In cold weather
a heavier glove should be worn.
Woolen and dog skin are to be pre-
ferred, but if these appear to you as
unsightly you may clothe your hands
with a glove of lighter texture and
wear muff. The muff is, in its
province, of the same character as
the glove, but it is an article of con-
venience which is rarely ornamental.
A few rules in regard to gloves may
be worthy of your observance. Wash
and thoroughly dry your hands before
placing your gloves on them; do not
have them very tight about the palms
and wrists; let them be OF porous ma
terial and in all respects comfortable.
In taking them off turn them inside
out for airing.
There are persons who think that
gloves should be worn at night in
order to preserve the softness of the
hands.
If you wish your hands to look
faded, wear gloves at night; but if
you wish them to preserve theiI
natural characteristics, use gloves
when YOU are not in repose.
While walking about in sun, wind,
CT rain, gloves will do you a very
good service; at night, however and
here the hours Of sleep are referred tc
they are ill-suited to any one.
The custom of wearing gloves al
night originated with the ancient
Egyptians. Cleopatra, it is said.
numbered this among her eccentrici-
ties; but the folly was more fully de-
yeloped dnring the reign of Louis
XIV, of France. To-day persons who
affect the manners of the antique
French may be selected as conspicu.
Gus among those who wear gloves at
night, and cursory glance at their
hands will be sufficient to mako an
tndelible stamp on the mind.
Naturally the hand of woman is
nodded by what she does with 1t. Its
various lines, under ordinary circum-
stances, mark the contour of the diff.
ferent parts of the body. All should
be in harmony. But If you put a
pasty, greasy, and leathery covering
over the hands you make them fade
in advance of their time. Frank H

The constru tion Of mechanical
singing birds has now reached such
perfection that at first sight the lit
tie automatOn is absolutely like the
bird whose plumage it borrows,
whether it represents a simple night
ingale or is adorned with the brilliant
feathers of bird of paradise
Neither in the pose nor form could
the art OF the taxidermist do better
The attitude of each species is care
fully studied. Certain of these birds
are inClOSed in simple cage or are
placed upon branch forming a perch,
while Others placed upon tree, flutter
from one branch to another, without
it being possible to see the little rod,
mounted upon a pivot and hidden in
the leaves, that carries it back and
forth. Again, others may be placed
upon stand or in basket of flowers.
Humming birds are concealed in a
snuff-bOX, the cover of which being
raised, they suddenly appear and be-
gin to sing. After the air is finished,
they re-enter the box and the cover
closes of itself. The snuff-boxes in
which they are inclosed are decorated
in all possible ways, with inlaid en-
amel work, japanese designs upon
silver and gold, old silver repousse
work, inlaid work. and so on. The
first automatic singing birds had a
motion of the bill only, and it was by
means of bird organ or a music box
that they seemed to sing. The improve
ments atterward introduced consisted
in the substitution Of a genuine
warbling for the music box, and in
giving these little singers the perfect
appearance Of life. 4 reproduction
of the true song Of birds has been
successfully obtained, and we are now
able to hear all our ordinary artists,
with the repertury peculiar to each Of
them. The mechanical apparatus is
wound up like Clock-work, and pro
duces various motions OF the head,
tail and wings which are so naturally
com jined with the warbling that the
mechanical sOngster, whose plumage
leaves nothing to be desired. seems tC
be living, breathing thing

echoes; and Swiss, Swiss echoes: and
then, determined to make supreme
effort for the reputation Of his great
country, he said, quietly, 'tBut, say?
Whar's the echo that can compete with

Cave Of Kentucky?" AS no one had
been to Kentucky, no one dared to

boldened, continued: Sure as my

Tho Mouth of the Pope.

An Italian daily supplies the world
with a pleasant little anecdote upon
the personal vanity of His Holiness
Pope Leo MIL
The nuns inhabiting convent
near Rome had Joined in embroider-
ing a beautiful carpet, the center OF
which displayed likeness of the
Pope. When the clerical messenger
unrolled the splendid gObelin before
tic eyes of Leo the latter scrutinized
his likeness and pulled face, saying,
qlerulOusly, That mouth is twice as
large as mine. l would not have so
ugly a face said to be mine, even to
be trampled under foot Take 1t
awavw The messenger was speech
less. Then one of the papal courtiers
said. woman is talkative. 1t is not
surprising that even the mouth OF
Your Holiness under female manipu-
lation should have grown beyond all
measure" The Pope laughed and
ordered the carpet to be accepted
with thanks.

A Deadly Poison.

Two eminent French chemists h ave
succeeded in extracting a deadly
poison, in the shape of liquid, from
human and animal breath 1t is
concluded that in the air of ill-ven-
tilated rooms there is an accumula-
tion of deadly volatile principle,
more dangerous than the carbonic
acid which is always present. Tile
discovery constitutes an additional
reasOn,why greater attention should be
paid to the publication of the air OF
dwelling houses, and especially OF
sleeping rooms by a thoroughly
scientific system of ventilation. We
are reminded, by the announcement
of the discovery of the poisonous ma
ture of breath, of the very extraor-
binary occurrence that took place at
the Old Bailey in 1850. Newgate
Gaol, always in a very bad sanitary
condition, had been crowded with
prisoners, mostly discharged soldiers,
on the close of the great Continental
War. Smollett, a doctor of medicine.
says in his history, that 1.-The very air
they breathed acquired pestilentiai
degree of putrefactlon." The result,
when the men were taken for trial to
the Old Bailey, was fearfully tragic
The lord mavor, an alderman, two
judges, several lawyers, most of the
jury, and large number of specta-
tors, died from the effects of inhaling

His Naiise.

Even when man overcomes his
scruples and resolves to do little ia
the smuggling way, he is apt to
blunder at the last moment. A tour
ist had concealed several boxes of
fine Cuban cigars in an old valise.
As the crisis approached, however,
his nerve failed, as often happens on
such occasions, and when called, on
arrival at port, TO claim his baggage,
he failed to identity that containing
the smugglcd goods. His wife at
once OWNED his trouble, and seeing
not only the cigars. but far more val
liable chattels, passing into a limbo
from which they could never be re-
claimed, came boldly forward. "Why,
john" she exclaimed, don't you
know my maids valise?" and pro-
ceeded forthwith to reclaim the bag
gage, which was handed over to her
without question. A very successful
device was practiced by a Hebrew
merchant and his wife. For long
time they escaped detection, but at
last their method transpired- 1t ap-

The lighting of sea coasts has done
vessels for spoil. A British inspector
Of lighthouses, not many years ago,
spoke to a boatman OF the Orkney
Islands about the dilapidated sails Of
tie small craft he had hired. The
fellow replied
''If you hadn't come here with your
lights we might o. had better sails to
our boats and more of other things. I"
Before the lighthouses were built,
when only the bell of the Abbot Of
Aberthock warned sailors of their
dangerous proximity to the Inchcape
Rock, disasters to shipping were SO
frequent that the farmers of the Ork
ney Islands are said to have used wine
instead of milk in their barley pOr
ridge, and to have fenced their farms
with Honduras mahogany. They bit
terly opposed the erection Of light.
houses, saying that - if wrecks were
to happen they might as well be sent
totheir poor island as elsewhere.
The murder of shipwrecked unfoI
Junates for plunder seems to have
been regarded as pardonable, if not
positively commendable, in former
times. Not the ocean itself was so
merciless as the Irish who stabbed to
death and beneaded the castaways OF
the Spanish Armada, whose religious
cause was their own, in order to rob
them of their jewels and clothing.
1t is said that the people of the
Bahamas used systematically to lure
ships upon the reefs of those islands,
initiating revolving flash-light by
trying a lantern to horses tail and
walking the beast around in a circle.

Great evils result from physical in
action. 1t is well known that
through the whole human system
strength and development come only
by exercise. Every unused muscle
shrinks in size and loses its force, and
the man or woman who lives ch ely a
life of passive repose will gradually
lose the power as well as the desire
for activity. This, however, is by no
means the whole of the evil involved.
The connection between the mind
and the body is very intimate, ana
the mental faculties cannot obtain
their full power, nor the character
attain its highest excellence, unless
the body be kept in healthful CON
dition by salutary exercise. Pure air
and regular physical exertion are
necessary in order to think clearly, TO
decide wisely, TO reason acutely, TO
plan with discretion, and TO execute
with vigor. Strength of will depends
largely upon the strength OF muscle
and he who is weak and flabbv IN tne
latter will in all probability be feeois
and irrssolute in the former.
