Antiquity Of the Saw.

The saw Is an instrument Of high an.
tiquity, its invention being attributed to
either De ialus or to his nephew Perdix,
also called Tslos, who, having found the
jaw of a serpent and divided a piece of
wood with it, was led to initiate the
teeth in iron. In o bass-relief pub
lished by Winckelman, D@ lalus Is rep
resented holding q saw approaching very
closely in fozm to the Egyptian saw. St.
jerome seems clearly to allude to the
circular saw, which was pIobably used,
as at present, in cutting veneers. There
are also limitations of the use of the CEN
ire bit, aud even in the time of Cicero it
was employed by thieves. Pliny men
lions the use Of the saw in Ancient Bel
GUM for cutting white building stone;
some of the oolitic and cretaceous rocks
are still treated In the same manner, both
in that part Of the Continent and in the
south Of England. In this case Pliny
must be understood to speak of a proper
or toothed saw. The saw without teeth
was then used just as it is now by the
workers in marble, and the place of
teeth was supplied, according to the
hardness of the stone, either by emery
Dr. by various kinds of sand of inferior
hardness. In this manner the ancient
arti6cers were able to cut slabs OF the
hardest rock, which consequently were
adapted to receive the highest polish,
such as granite, porphyry, lapis-lazuB
Nd amethyst.-Scientifc American.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the .efreshing and truly
beneficial properties of q perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyer3
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has giv@ sati4faotion to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Has q F~Inger-Reducing Patent.

The Patent Office has granted q pat.
ent on g device worthy of the ancient
Greeks. It Is a system Of fnger-taper-
ing and joint-reduoing bands. The idea
is to make thimble-shsped bands of thin
and plant aluminium in sets of various
sizes to tit tho fingers and thumbs, and
by wearing them at night gradually pro-
duce the slender and tapering digits so
much admired by the fashionable half Of
the world. The aluminium bands are
provided with rings which are crowded
down on the outside so as to compress
the fingers aud drive the blood back to
any desired state of diminutiveness. The
letters patent DO not state whether the
use Of this new device is attended with
pain or not. 1t is said these bands have
been thoroughly tested by several OF the
best known women of fashion In Wash.
ington and New York, and they speak Of
them in the highest terms of praise. The
leading merchant IN cosmetics and toile
articles in Chicago is forming a stool
company to buy the patent aud boo u
the finger taperer at the Worlds Fair
The patentee says his idea will go lik
wildfre, as have SO many other inven =
tons to produce beauty, and he thinks
his patent is worth at least $50, 000.-

therefore, little wonder that Tam

covery that his worthy friend and
neighbor, Geordie Gingerbread, the
baker, had got a whole cheese from
him, and, strange to say, though al
ways a good payer, had never settled

y Danger In Feather Spring Rifles.

Army authorities are in great fear that
the new magazine rifles now in use In the
British army will be the cause of the
death of many soldiers, because it goes
off SO lightly that q man, after being
shot, may in the death spasm pull the
trigger and shoot some Of his comrades,
or that even the moving Of the body may
discharge the weapon. 1t IS therefore
ordered that two men shall be detained
from each company tofollow the line in &C.
tion, and when a manfalls to Immediately
emove the magazine from his rifle and
carry it away. The opponents to the use
of the new rifle say that this looks to
them to be a ~veryfclumsy arrangement

Tho Duration of a Dream.

Those learned aud scientific gentlemen
who have gone into the subject declare
the longest dreams hardly last q few
minutes. The following instance lends
support to their views: One evening
Victor Hugo was debating letters to his
secretary. Overcome by fatigue the
great man dropped into a slumber. A
few moments afterward he awoke,
haunted by a dream, which, as he
thought, extended over several hours,
and he blamed his secretary for sitting
there waiting for him instead of waken-
ing him or else going away. What was
his surprise when the bewildered secrs-
tary told him that he had only just
finished writing the last sentence dictated
to him.
