A Valuable Collection,

The collection mania has its victims
among all classes of people, from the
poorest to the richest. and very often
queer traits Of character are shown by
the collections made. 4 successful Wall
street broker has a collection that is
unique, valuable aud income producing.
Blessed with abundant means, he has for
the past live years been able to crafty
his Whim for the collection of bank
stocks. His ambition is to have the larg-
estcollecuon Of certificates of bank stocks
IN the world. His plan is to buy just
one share of stock in each national bank.
Recently he found that every national
bank IN New York city except one was
represented in his collection. The ex-
ception was the Chemical, the 800 shares
OF which sell for something over 81. 900
each.
After trying for long while to find
some one who would sell him a single
share the collector came across three
shares which were for sale in lump.
He could not get one alone, consequently
he bought the three for trihe over SIS
900. Il was led into making collections
Of bank stocks, said this gentleman the
other day, because l could not think of
anything else to collect. Among my
friends were collectors of pictures,
bronzes, marbles, bric-a-brac, flowers,
books, postage stamps, coins, musical
instruments, glassware and almost ev-
erything else. WANTED to collect some

and at the same time be of permanent

of an assault upon certain strong posi-
ton while moving forward at a run,
young James Taylor, lad of IS, was
carrying the flag and was killed after
being shot down three times, twice ris-
ing and struggling onward with the col
ors. The third time he fell the flag was
seized by George Cotchett, and when he
in turn fell by Shubrick Hayne. Hayne
also was struck down almost immedi-
ately, and Il fourth lad-for none of these
men was over 20 years old-grasped the
colors and fell MORALLY wounded across

Migrating birds and Their Flight.

Many discussions have been maintain
ed as to the manner of flight of birds in
migrating. The wild geese are well
known to have way of gathering in a
large flock and travelling in something
like military procession, but for the
most part naturalists have differed in
their ideas on this, as they differ SEEM
ingly on most subjects, some asserting
that most birds fly low, others that
they fly high, etc. Some observations
made by Mr.. W. E. d, Scott, however,
at Princeton college on the night Of Oct.
10, 1880, give some data upon which to
base an opinion. His observations dis
covered large flight Of migratory birds
proved by computations made at the
time to be flying from one to four miles
high above the earth. They were small
birds like the robin, wren, etc. This
leads us to another point-viz., the dan
gers encountered by birds in their annual
flight. OF course the greatest is by storms,
which beat them far from their course
out to sea, when they drop from exhaus-
ton and are drowned. or to the EARTH
where the force Of the fall is no less

A Horse with an Artificial Eye.

A fine looking brown gelding owned
nv Dr. Walter ". White had one Of his
ewes injured about two years ago and
gradually lost the sight in that optic.
The case was brought to the attention Of
DR.. Ward, the state veterinarian, some
weeks ago. 1t is a difficult matter to
secure artificial eyes for horses that will
not warp, break or fall out. DR.. Ward
knew that the proper article could be
procured in England, and in reply to a
letter the delicate piece Of compound

of composition Of vulcanite and will
not change color or become easily in

up the injured eye and placed a small
circular piece of vulcanite in the socket,

sensation. The imported eye was put in
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dr.
Ward put few drops of oil on the disk
like arrangement. and with the aid Of a
lancet raised the eyelids and placed the
eye in position. The artificial adorn-
ment looks exceedingly natural.-Balti-

There is nothing in the world which
produces the sense Of mental nausea
more completely, or is more certain to
turn the intellectual stomach, than the
use of certain jocularities of speech with
which many people think fit to adorn
their conversation. The people who
seem to find it impossible to speak of an
unmarried man except as "a gay bach
elor," with whom the sea is always "the
briny" or the herring pond" and a
horse "a fiery steed," who eternally talk
about Sunday go-to-meeting" clothes,
and who have such phrases as mo extra
charge" "agitate the tintinnabulator,"
"the noxious weed" "the pipe Of peace"
$40 winks,' and "braving the elements"
forever on their lips, are capable Of pro-
ducing a sense Of disgust in those who
care to see language kept bright and
clean which is absolutely intolerable.
1t is difficult to say whether these cant
phrases-that is, perfectly proper de-
scription of them-are more odious when
used consciously or unconsciously that
is, by people who believe them to be funny
and intend that their hearers should con-
slider them funny, or by those who have
merely caught them up and repeat them
like parrots and without any intention,
good or bad.-London Spectator.

Was There an Age of Conner

NJ. BerthelOt, the well known French
technicist, in a communication to the
Academic DIES Sciences, states his belief
in the some time existence of an age of
copper in addition to the three recog-
nized archaeological cons Of stone, bronze
"copper" and TIM and iron. He bases his
opinion chiefly upon an analysis of a
piece of copper which had been found by
NJ. de Sarzec in the course of antigua
rian investigations in Mesopotamia, or
Al Jezira, as the Arabs designate the
famous stretch of country between the
Euphrates and the Tigris. The fragment
thus chemically determined proves to
have neither tin nor zinc entering into
its composition, there being simply traces
of lead and arsenic.
Water and the atmosphere had made
ravages into the specimen, which )
practically suboxide or a compound of
protoxide and metallic copper. AS the
ruins from which the piece of metal was
taken are authoritatively considered to
be moro ancient than even those of Baby
lon. M. Derthelot does not hesitate to
promulgate the theory that al age Of
copper preceded the bronze and iron
periods, especially as the examination Of
the component parts of a portion of a
metallic scepter which, it is alleged, be
longed to a pharaoh who rGjgned in
Egypt some $500 years B. c., showed no
sign of the presence Of tin.-London

Position of Wood and Its Durability.

The problem has troubled many why
two pieces of wood, sawed from the same
section Of tree, should possess very
varied characteristics when used in diff
ferent positions. For example, gate
post will be found to decay much faster
if the butt end of the tree is uppermost
than would be the case if the top were
placed in this position. The reason is
that the moisture of the atmosphere will
permeate the pores of the wood much
more rapidly the way the tree grew than
it would if in the opposite direction.
1Iicroscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent of moisture,
while they repel its descent. Take the
familiar case of a wooden bucket Many
may have noticed that some Of the slaves
appear to be entirely saturated, while
others are apparently quite dry. This
arises from the same cause.-the dry
slaves are in the position in which the
tree grew, while the saturated ones are
reversed. -London Tit-Bits.
