Surprised tn. Queen.

tJid d. Is the man who stirred up
the TO. al household ct Windsor-oh,
thirty years ago, most likely. He
was III a company that had been in
vited-' commanded, IN the lingo of
royalty-to play at the castle before
the queen. The hall used for theat-
rical performances IS 4 small ono,
and the dressing rooms are so near
the stage that almost every word
that IS spoken in loud tone can be
heard IN front. 1t was one of Shake
speare's tragedies or historical plays
that they were TO do that night, and
it was q ayhin of the queens that
they should be dressed in the old
armor that belongs to the castle.
1t would give greater vel-isimilitude
to the piece.
An armorer, who was expert in
putting on the old breastplates and
helmets. was sent behind to wait ON
the company, and his hammer could
be heard ciinking now and then ON a
piece of steel, when suddenly old d. s
voice was heard, distinctly audible
to the people in front, Where the
bloody blazes is that blacksmith, to
tighten on these ere nutsl" The
queen nearly fell off from her chair.

The Manners OF "socIety. :.

These geese in stays and starch
c"society" people, are ignorant of
the true philosophy of good manners,
which may be compressed into a sin
gle sentence. The secret of good
manners is an entire lack of self
consciousness. If all men were born
with proper perception of justice
bad manners could not exist. 1t may
be somewhat vague, but the almost
universal conception of justice is that
it is the interest of the stronger, as
Plato's sophist has it, and moments
review of our codes of manners will
convince one that this idea is at the
bottom of all. All manners are bad
which are built upon substructure
of injustice, either inflicted or suf-
fered.
These best peoplen-paupers in
every essential Of noble manhood
have elaborated a religion of which
an immen-e cipher is the symbol.
Their range of ideas is so limited
as to merely correspond with their
physical needs and indulgences. and
they have invented with a wisdom
not common among geese and cocka-
toos) code of manners which con.
demns all naturalness, individuality
and thought as the brand of the par.

Under the laws of Draco. which
you viii remember as being the most
severe code ever drawn up, all grave
robbers We're put to death without
trial. The old Athenian laws put a
slave to death for disturbing a body
after interment; but in the case of q
freeman ''confiscation of a moiety
of his possessions was the penalty.
Constantine decreed that a woman
might obtain divorce if she could
prove that her husband had dis
turbed the remains of the dead. At
one time On the time of the seventh
and eighth Henrys) the English law
held that lit is deemed unlawful to
open grave for second person, ex-
cept for a husband or wife"
If have not been misinformed,
grave robbers in this country only
lay themsel7e liable to a fine and inn
prisonment for a short time, unless it
can be proved that they took the
grave clothes along with the body.

For Eczema ana rsInrworua.

Ichthyol and resorcin are two
drugs that have received the general
appreciation of the medical world,
and for eczema and ringworm they
are not excelled. These two drugs
have had doubtful popularity in the
past, but of late years they have
come more and more into favor as
antiseptics and remedies for certain
forms of skin troubles. But the
drug that is of the greatest interest
to those who would have good skins
is the microbe destroyer and disin-
fectant known as hydrogen dioxide.
This remedy was first used to bleach
the skin white, and to remove power
full stains that had eaten into the
skin Discolorations of the skin
caused by powder, potash, sulphur,
and aniline dyes are removed the
easiest with this drug.
The discoloration of the finger
nails, which is natural with some.
can be removed by application of
this medicine. An instance is re-
corded of an actress who entered a
sulphur bath without removing the
cosmetics from her face, and she
turned so black that shewas not pre-
sentable for long time, but an APP
plication of the hydrogen dioxide
removed all the stain and color i'm
mediately. This drug is also a great
microbe destroyer, and it Is used
with great success in boils, abscesses,
ulcers and similar les.-Yankee

How Rocks Grow.

Rocks do not grow in the sense
that plant grows. They may in.
crease by accretion and they may
undergo chemical change. The old
seabed being lifted up becomes sand
stone and limestone; the volcanic
ash and lava strewn over the plains
becomes tufa. hard enough for build
ing stone The pebbly shore of a
river becomes conglomerate. The
simple mineral does grow, however,
when it takes a crystal form. The
sparkling prism of quartz increases
from an atom to a crystal as large as
a forearm by q process of addition and
assimilation, wonderfully slow, bui
beautifully regular, exactly as crys
tails of ice form on the window pane.

Locomotive Foe sirnaI.

An improved method of signaling
to the drivers of locomotives in thick
weather has been brought forward
in England. On the locomotive it
self is fixed an electric bell, to which
is attached a contact device, which
operates by means of a movable bar
which is associated with each signal
box. When the engine passes such
a signal box contact is made and the
bell rings, and by the number of
beats upon the gong the engine
driver knows whether to proceed or
whether to stop. The apparatus
does not intefere with any existing
signaling arrangements, and would
be quite automatic in action pro-
vided that the signal man attended
to his levers just as if the weather
was clear London Letter.

Among the remains of the lake
dwellers of Europe have been found
bronze pins and bronze brooches, In
which the pin forms the prominent
feature, many of which are highly
ornamented and very beautiful. A
few copper and one iron pin have
also been found. It is estimated that
10, 600 pins have been collected at the
lacustrine station of Switzerland
alone A few of these pins have
double stems, and were probably
used as hairpins. Three have been
found at Peschiera, which are ex-
actly the same in form as the safety
pins of the present time.
Among the single stemmed pins
are many ingenious devices for pre-
venting the spike from passing en-
tirely through the cloth or other
material it is used for fastening to-
gether. Many of them are so formed
that they are thicker In some places
than in others. A large number.
both of bone and bronze, have the
head formed of a loose ring passed
through an eye In the pin. A few of
them have the appearance Of the
scarf pins now in use.
In Egypt pins with gold heads have
been discovered, while ancient Ro-
man bronze pins and bone hairpins
with ornamental heads have been
