Gloves.

Gloves were not known in England
until near the close OF the tenth cent
ury, and were then worn with a
thumb and no fingers, like mittens.
They were larger in every way than
they needed to be, and wondrously
embroidered and starred with jewels.
No gloves were finer than those Of
the clergy. They were mostly OF
white silk or linen, cunningly broid-
cred and sometimes fringed with
pearls. One ecclesiastic had a red
silk pair, with the sacred monogram
worked on the back, surrounded with
a golden glory; and later on they had
gloves to match their different vest
ments. In fact, gloves had departed
from the primary idea Of utility and
become a decoration. They were too
magnificent for common wear, and
were frequently carried In the hand
or worn on the girdle. 1t was by
the fine gloves his page had in his
glrdle that Cpur de Lion was be-
trayed on his way home from the
crusade and so fell into captivity.
But already the glove was more than
mere bit Of foppery. The knights
mailed glove sheltered his hand; it
became sign of power; and when a
gracious lord meant to signify his in
tention to protect town he sent his
glove as sure sign Of his willingness
The glove, too, was the token of de-
flance when one knight declared war
against another; and to show his
fealty to his mistress, he bound her
broidered glove to his helmet. Long
gloves came in at the end o. the
seventeenth century. Nell Gwynne's
gloves were proverb for their beau
ty. All through this time gloves
were prettily set off with lace, rib
bons and fringe, although the fashion
Of the finer artistic embroidery Of
the middle ages was falling into DIS
use. The bare hand was deemed an
ofense, and the costliness OF gloves
defined their wearers' social position.

Utilizin, Old Barrels.

The Standard Oil Company has owe,
$40, 600 second hand barrels at its
Point View Oil Works. In Philadelphia,
where they are reittei by large NUN.
Der of coopers.
The barrels are gatherel up in all
paris of the Old World and brough,
across the Atlantic to be used for fur
ther shipment. At the shops in thi.
country they are renewed With hoop,
ana broken slaves, and then glued and
filled with refined oil for the home mlr-
ket. Formerly second hand barrels
we're used the second time for export
shipments, but in the last few years all
those that are brought back empty are
,fterward used in the domestic trade.
There are now several large vessels
on the way across, loaded with empty
oil barrels. Besides these there are
thousands of secondhand barrels gath.
cred up in sll parts of this country. Some
are brought here aud Others are Sc 1t tn
the refinery in Cleveland, but the bulk
is taken - the Eastern oil WORKS.
The export as well as the import
transportation of refined oil Is mostly all
in tank cars and in tank vessels over the
ocean. The transportation os the refined
oil from here is getting less every day.
The average is not more than 200 barrel:
a day, and this is nearly all taken away
in bulk. All the new oil barrels tha
are made around here are turned out a,
the Workhouse and they are all taken to
the Beaver Creek Refinery York

Nothing to DC.

OF all bores the most formidable Is
the man who, whenever he has any
time to spare, visits it on some busy
acquaintance or friend. To the con-
scientious or methodical worker every
moment is precious during business
hours Each minute wasted by him.
self, or taken idly from him by an
other, costs him at least some extra
exertion, but more often actual loss
Of opportunity, or fatal delay, in his
important affairs. While he is lis
tening to the idle chat Of his unwel.
come visitor, chat which might be
entertaining enough under favorable
circumstances, he is wondering how
he can contrive to get rid Of him
without actual rudeness. Having at
last done so, he inwardly vows that
he viii never again be so victimi cd.
But unfortunately the bore gives nc
warning Of his approach; one day IL
he walks again, saying, "My dear
fellow, / was lst passing and thought
/ would drop in and see how you
were" But l am awfully busy
you reply. "Oh, that's all bosh,"
says the plague. "You don't taxa
me in with that kind of stories, I'm
too old hand. By the by, whom do
you think L saw to-day?" You may
capitulate; you have the plague on
you, and must give in. Mayhap the
visitor is some chance acquaintance
met while travelling, and who is now
passing lelsurely through the town
but stopping for a little chat over
past enjoyments; or perchance 1t Is
some favorite relative from the coun-
try, who makes an annual trip to the
metropolis and has left all cares and
concern about his own affairs. with
all notion Of TIE value of time, be.
hind him. All are equally unwel-
come during business hours; what
might be, if time permitted, a de.
lightful intcrlude, or, at most, a
petty annoyance, becomes a real af.
Fiction, and not unfreqIently ex-
poses the thoughtless cause of it to
severe secret animadversion of even
the most patient or charitably dis
posed sufferer.

Points in Tree Planting.

A careful writer In the Florida
Agriculturist says: "1n transplant
ing tree from q nursery mark
should be made on the body so as to
set 1t out precisely In its relation to
the cardinal points Of the compass as
it originally stood; because the struc-
ture OF the bark and fibre differ very
much from the north to the south
side The laminiferous concentric
rings are nearer each other on the
south side and are more hardy and
durable. However. II Is a paradox to
observe that a young tree that has
been injured by excessive cold weather
always shows split bark on the south
side; the north side appears more
spongy and porous. When a la ge
tree is cut down and sawed up the
p IN is observed to be several inches
south OF the center. There is no
regularity in the distances between
the concentric rings-close for dry
year and far apart caused by long and
protracted rain seasons"

Came Back and Paid I'm.

Sixteen years ago T. r. Schock disap-
peared from Mexico, Mo-, between two
days. 1t soon transpired that he was
Overwhelmingly in debt. The Schock
family was and still is a prominent one
in the country, and his brother. indig-
nant at his abscondins determined to
bring him back, but no trace of him
could be found. Recently a travel
stained stranger, brouaed by a southern
sun, came to Mexico. 1t was Theodore
r. Schock. He employed lawyer, called
on Circuit Clerk Ben c. Johnson and pro-
posed to pay off the judgments, aggre-
eating several thousand dollars. As fast
as these papers, all Of them yellow with
age, were passed upon by the attorney,
schock would pay them of. All Of his
pockets seemed to be filed with money.
He asked no questions and would answer
none. When the last judgment was
satisfied he departed as quietly a. be- came
and no one knew that he was here till he
had gone. Schock's home Is believed IL
be in South America. New Orlean.

The Bergamot Tree.

There is but one spot In the world
where the bergamot tree can be cult
waited with proft-a fact of some import
ance, since its esseuce is indispensable in
the manufacture of numerous perfumes
and medical preparations. The spot
referred to is Reggie, In CalabrIa, that
extremity of the italian peninsula which
is familiarly known as the "toe of the
boot" Mr.. Kerrich suggests that there
is good chance here for enterpri.iug
capitalists of getting highly profitable
monopoly of the bergamot tree By buying
up from the producers all that they ex-
tract. At present the Reggie bergamot
suffers both in quality and reputation
through the frauds of small traders,
who, 1t is said, mix it with ten parts of
adulterating matter.-Chicago Tribune.

The Making Of Scissors.

Though no complexities are involved
in the making of scissors, or much skill
required, yet the process OF manufacture
is very interesting. They are forged
from good bar steel heated to redness,
each blade being cut off with sufficient
metal to form the shank, or that des-
tined to become the cutting part and
bow, or that which later on is fashioned
into the holding portion. For the bow
small hole is punched, and this is
afterward expanded to the required size
by hammering it on a conical anvil, after
which both shank and bow are fled into
a more perfect shape and the hole bored
in The middle for the rivet. The blades
are next ground and the handles made
smooth and FURNISHED with oil and
emery, after which the pairs are fitted
together and tested as to their easy
working. They ara not yet finished,
however. They have to undergo hard
ening and tempering and be again ad-
justed, after which they are finally put
together again aud polished for the
third time. In comparing the edges Of
knives and scissors it will be noticed, OF
course, that the latter are not In any
way so sharply ground as the former,
and that, in cutting, scissors crush and
bruise more than knives. - Inventive

Slot Machines in Ancient ERypt.

Ancient Egypt is looking up" in
every way. Some Of its contrivances
appear to have been quite up to
date. Actually, they had already
more than 1000 years ago what we call
"a penny in the slot" for the extrac-
tion Of something useful, pleasant or
otherwise desirable. Heron, the
philosopher of Alexandria, describes
an automatic machine which he as
serts to have been In use in the
Egyptian temples for a long time
past, even before his time. By
throwing a piece Of money in the
slot the worshipers received some
consecrated water through a valve.
The stature or stand, the two-armed
lever with its closing valve and the
other details Of the machine are all
correctly described James Ga
Zette.

A Legend Of Solomon.

There is Turkish legend to the fol-
owing effect: Wnen S)lom)u was rul-
.ng on earth, the an gel Gibriel wa, sent
10 him one day with a goblet filed with
the water of life aui bearing from on
high the message that II he choose
he might drink OF the water
and become immortal. Calling
together all his wise c)unselors, he
asked their aivice. Tney, with one
consent, advised him to drink aud live
forever. Then he summoned the birds
Of the air and the beasts OF the field, and
al of them gave the same advice, with
one solitary exception. This was the
hedgehog. Approaching the throne,
md bending its brow to the ground,
thus did it speak: "If this water may be
,harea by thee with thy kith aud kin,
then drink and enjoy the bliss of hyin :.
But if it is intended for thee alone, thea
10 not drink. For sad would it be for
;hee to live on but to see thy kinsnen
md friends one after the other disap-
pear" "True are thy words, o hedge
1og," replied the king. $40 me alone
las the water been sent. As thou hast
,ounseled, so will I decide" Thus
,poke Solomon; and the water of life
did he not drink.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL

Southern factories are making paper
from palmetto.
Liebig, the chemist, says the huma.
body is composed OF air condensed and
uncondensed.
1t is said that men faint less frequently
than women because their imagination is
slower of action than it is with the fair
sex.
The extent of the oscillation of tall
chimneys may be exactly taken by close
observation OF the shadows they cast on
the ground.
The incandescert light is a yellow lighi
just as gas is, and colors cannot be de-
tected by it any better than they eau by
ordinary gas or lamp light.
A slit in piece of paper, even though
it be not more than one forty-thousandth
of an inch in width. is sufficient to
transmit light to the human eye.
On many of the railways iu Germany
the practice Of starting locomotive fres
with gas instead of wood has been
rdopted and proves economical.
White or "Irish" potatoes are NON
used extensively in the manufacture ol
buttons. By means of certain acids po-
tatoes can be hardened to almost the re.
sistance of stone.
1t is asserted that waterproof sheets OF
paper, gummed and hydraulically conf
pressed, make a material as durable a.
leather for the soles of shoes. 1t alsG
makes serviceable horseshoes.
A special commission at Toulon
france, has decided against the use OF
petroleum as fuel on torpedo boats. Out
of ten cans of petroleum experimental
upon eight became ignited, from per-
cussion after twelve shot had been fired
upon armor plate protecting them.
The lungs will contain about one gal
Ion of air at their usual degree of lntla-
tion. We breathe on an average 1900
times per hour, inhale 600 gallons of air,
or "a 900 per day. The aggregate sur
face of the air cells of the lungs exceeds
20, 600 square inches, an area very nearly
equal the floor of room twelve feet
square.
A law has been enacted in Ontario
Canada, forbidding the spraying or
sprinkllng of fruit trees while they are in
bloom with any mixture containing Paris
green or other substances poisonous OF
injurious to bees. Tae object OF the
legislation is to protect the bees from
harm, the honey from possible faint OF
poisoning, and to avoid possible obstacles
to complete fertilization of the fruit.
A remarkable discovery in the domain
Of medical science is reported from
Vienna. Doctor X. L. Scleich claims
that the results obtained by the use OF
chloroform and cocaine may be secured
by subcutaueous injections of a solution
OF sugar or salt, or even of simple cold
distilled water, while the Ill effects that
sometimes follow applications of the
former are avoided. This claim, 1t is as
serted, is based upon a series of expert
ments, and some medical authorities are
said to be satisfied of the genuineness of
the claim.
The assertion that the temperature OF
the earth increases about one degree for
every sixty feet as we descend into it Is
not true for alllocalitics. In some shafts
sunk In mines the increase is one degree
for every twenty feet, while in Others it
is not more than one in hundred, show
ing that there IS no uniformity in the
temperature of the earth's crust.

Modern Society's idea.

IA party in a patlor, all silent and
al"-listening to somebody on a plat
form who reads, recites, addresses,
and lectures, seems to be the modern
idea of social edification. Mr..
Augustine Birrell has remarked that
in America we seem still to love talk
for its own sake, and really enjoy sit
ting and being declaimed at in a loud
voice, delfghting in the rolling sent
ence and the lofty and familiar senti-
ment And it is certainly the fact
that let any one, nowadays, stand up
and read paper or recite memorized
speech, no matter on what subject,
everybody listens; every heart seems
refreshed by the overflow, every in
tellectual need stilled. Indeed, no
little wit skill. grace, and clever
powers of adaptation are pressed into
serv ce for drawing-room entertain
ments; and SC long as theygo for what
they are worth am greateful enough,
only l am tired OF the dismal ne
cessity OF being instructed at every
turn. n.-Altaut G
