Nuremberg Eggs.

Watches first came into fashion in the
year 1477, at Nuremberg, and on that
account and because of their peculiar
shape they were known as Nuremberg
eggs" They We're not all egg-shaped,
however, some being made in imitation
of pears, gourds. acorns, birds skulls, etc.
Morgan, the English curiosity collector,
has an old-time watch in the shape of a
cows horn, which discharges a tiny pis-

Stanhope has one shaped like an egg,

MONUMENT TO CAPT. KIDD.
To Mark the Spot Where it is Supposed
He Buried Treasures.

He Buried treasures.
AT Pleasant Beach, opposite Bridge
port, Conn.,, on July 4, was unveiled,
with proper ceremonies, monument
erected to Capt. Kidd. The long, barren
stretch of sand known as Long beach I'M
til recent years, when it has. become a
favOrite spot for excursions, is the spot
where the pirate Kidd in the year 1896
buried, according to accounts, his fabulous
treasure. The story which has been hand
ed down from generation to generation
is as follows:
One night early in the spring of 1896
two citizens of Stratford went to the
beach to take in some nets they had set.
The night was dark and gloomy. The
fishermen were successful. and, after the
catch had been disposed of. they rested on
the shore before starting for home. Soon
they heard strains of music, and over the
waters came the words, sung in voice
not unmusical:
NV name was Capt Kidd
When I sailed, when 1 sailed,
Gods laws / did forbid,
When / sailed, when 1 sailed.
They listened and watched, and soon
through they gloom they saw the outlines
canvas. Soon orders to drop anchor and
furl sails were heard. Next boats were
lowered and orders given to load the
chests and proceed to the beach and bury
them deep in the sand.
The fishermen, SO the story goes, knew
the ship could belong to none other than
the pirate king, and they hurried home and
gave the alarm, supposing that Kidd and
his band would visit Stratford and plum
der the town. No pirate appeared, and
the next morning the graceful ship, with
it's black hull and clouds Of canvas, had
disappeared.
The handsome monument of Capt. Kidd
stands twenty five feet high, and is placed
on that section of the beach where it is
supposed the pirate and his followers
landed and buried their treasures.

English Laws.

English laws are rarely repealed, and in
consequence it is frequently possible to
fasten an offense on a man who may be
the last in the kingdom who would pur-
posely commit a breach of the law. Late
Iy there was a revival in London of a
statute the existence of which was hardly
known except to a possible few delivers

FireprOOf Buildings.
What is ireproof?

w
Iron isn't, because it melts in fierce
heat, and in less heat expands. Thus an
iron beam between two walls may ex,
pand so much as to throw one of them
down. Stone isn't, because in fierce heat
it crumbles away to dust. The material
Which is most nearly freproof is good
brick. The more it's baked the harder
it gets. So the best freproof buildings
have brick terra Gotta walls, floors of
hollow brick, and doors and castings only
of wood. Even then a freproof building
will burn if very hot fire attacks it from
the outside. But fire starting in one
of the rooms only burns up what's in
that room and stops. It never gets very

Michael Angeles Work.

Michael Angelo was equally great as
painter, sculptor and architect. In order
to paint figures properly he devoted
twelve years to- the study of anatomy
alone. His monument to Pope Julius
ii. was on SO grand a scale that the
Church of St. Peter in Rome WAS altered
with a view to affortling a suitable place
for its reception. The tomb was after
ward modified in plan and placed in an
other church. His Last Judgment re-
CURED seven years to execute, and was
finished when the artist was nearly 6S.

of it's convictions. In Il recen- issue it
