Paving For Their Keep.

The proprietor of chemical works
received from his shoemaker pair of
water tight boots, which he was, how
ever, unable to wear, as they were a
trife too small. He therefore gave them
to one of his workmen to wear for
few days and stretch them to the re-
CURED dimensions. Several weeks passed
over, and the employer had forgotten all
about the boots when he was suddenly
reminded of them in n curious fashion:
On a certain pay day the workman in
question, after drawing his wages, lin
gered at the desk as if Waiting for some
thing. The manufacturer then said:
well, Kruger, what is it?'
81 want more money, was the reply.
"Wha-what? Haven't you got your
full wages?"
"Oh, aye!" answered Kruger, after
ward adding, with the greatest COM
posure: "But you've still got to pay me

They've been out of repair, you knowi"

The Usefulness OF Titles.

Impecunious aristocrats know the
value of good name and are not averse
to making practical use Of it. Not
long ago the following advertisement
appeared in French paper:
1.-THE owner of historical name,
and belonging to royal family, wishes,
in consequence Of pecuniary losses, to
place his name at the disposal of a joint
stock company or some other great COM
mercial or financial enterprise in return
for adequate remuneration. p"
Another impecunious aristocrat thus
makes his plea: ga nobleman, married
to lady who is member of royal
family, desires to meet with an appoint
ment for himself and wife in one and
the same house He would prefer the
post Of manager Of some estate or of a
manufacturing concern, though the cou-
pie would not object to tho situation OF
tutor and goyerness in o German fam
lily"
Still another is this: "a young, hand
some German prince, Of very ancient
family, and related to several reigning
houses and possessing no debts, desires
to marry a lady of very good personal
appearance, American most preferred,
but who must have dot worthy of the
princely rank Of the advertiser. Anony-
nous letters will not be answered. -

of Zelophehad came to Moses and told
him how their father had died without

couldn't, so he took it to the Lord. And

FREAKS oE NATURE.
Some Curious Things That Amuse and AS

Some Curious Things That Amuse and AS
tonisii aen of Science.
Natures freaks of fancy afford q
strange study People are constantly
sending to the National museum sup.
posed fossil animals and other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
forms carved by water. A pebble in q
stream gathers about itself grains OF
sand until an odd shaped lump il
mado. A favorite shape for such Jumps
is that of turtle with four legs, head
and tail, even the lines Of the shell be-
ing sometimes distinct. Similar concre-
tons of carbonate of iron and clay as.
sumo the appearance of petrifed pea
nets. Break one and you will always
find inside small spiral Wrinkle SHE'LL
which has served as the nucleus A
queer counterfeit of this kind, forward
ed to Washington not long ago, was al,
alleged fossil foot of child, with lit.
tie stocking on, the latter showing signs
of wear ON the ball of the foot and on
the heel. 1t was only concretion, as
was likewise what appeared to be pet
rified oyster on the shell.
One eminent scientist has been anus
ing himself of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quartz fibers. 1t is
well known that copper wire can 90
drawn to fineness much less than the
thickness Of hair-in fact, to the dl-
ameter of the one thousandth part of an
inch. But glass may be spun finer than
copper, while even tho finest spun glass
is not so fine as silk fiber. The latter,
however, is coarse compared with the
threads that can DO obtained by melting
quartz under blowpipc and pulling 1t
out. Such threads may be reduced to a
thinness Of -millionth of an inch.
Drawn to such tenuity, they are invisl-
BILE under a microscope of the highest
power. Yet they are stronger i'll proper
ton to their thickness than the best
quality Of bar steel Enough thread like
this could be made from single cubic
inch of quartz TO go around the world
G5S times A grain of sand barely large
enough TO be visible to the naked eye
would yield 1000 miles Of thread
Obviously nc practical use can be
made of threads so extremely fine.
Comparatively coarse ones were woven
into cobwehs by tho scientist aforesaid
They would not catch flies because the,
were too slippery, having no gluten Oh
them, like real cobwebs This difficulty
was got over by moistening a straw in
castor oil and gently stroking the threads
with it; then the webs captured flies
fairly we'll. But cobweb is incomplete
without spider, so it occurred to the
experimentor to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzZing of fly. 1t was
difficult to make fly buzz to order, but
a satisfactory imitation was produced
by permitting q tuning fork to vibrate
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider right away. The scientist also
amused himself with blowing bubbles
of quartz, which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles. -.

How GREER LADIES DRESSED.
1t Is Surprising to Learn That They Lace
and Wore FIsunced Skirts.

and Wore FIsunced Skirts.
Women in Homer ernbroider gar
ments, and many Of these are brough
from Sidcn. They wear wells, but 90
tho whole their dress, long smock and
girdle, was apparently much like that
Of later Greece This is ODD, for on 5
gold ring from Mycena, very old, We
see women with e4uber1nt busts, tight
waists and petticoats heavily beilounced
The same costume appears on q Myce-
nRan ring picked up by Furtwangler
In q curiosity shop Two ladies are ca
rousing out of champagne glasses. They
arc very tightly laced. A lady ON My
cen@an gem from Vapheio is laced to ex-
tinction and has seven flounces. The
British museum owns lentoid gem,
where Leto wears only o crinoline, with
no petticoat over it. Dipylon vases dis
play both men and women with tiny
waists. Men, in Mycen@an art, wear
little but very short drawers and shields.
In Homer the chiefs, summoned on a
night alarm, come out i'll dressing
gowns, some of them in skins.
The historical dress for ladies was
large piece of cloth a foot longer than
the wearer was tall and as wide as her
arms could stretch. When put on by
fair Briton, it usually falls off again. A
belt partly kept it up and safety pins
were used III very early times. BY TAX
ing a bath towel---a good, big one--and
trying what she can make of it as her
full costume a modern nynlph may
partly understand the toilet of her an
cient sisters. When once she has got it
on, she stands with extended arms, and
another lady fastens a girdle round her
waist; then sho pulls up the superfluous
length through the girdle and lets it
hang over, and there she is But how
long she will remain thus is an extreme
ly delicate question. Straps, like braces,
were sometimes worn and crossed over
the breast, being fastened to the girdle.
Ladies' had no bonnets-they muffled
their heads in fold of their cloaks or
wore fiat hats. They were all very beau
tiful and charming, as we see in the
Tanagra terra Gotta. 1t must have been
delightful to live in Tanagra. 1t APP
pears, on the whole, that we cannot hope
to revive Greek dress. The dress was de-
signed for q warm climate and for q
beautiful, shapely grace. 1t had its ad-
vantages in tho matter of health, as
there was no tight lacing after the Ny
cenman age The style was not extrava-
CANT or costly, but it is impossible. As-
theticiam cannot bring it back. An @s-
thete in clifton and sandals on cold

which Moore must have overlooked, the

Sponge Fishing.

The Greeks are considered the pr1n.
cipal sponge fishers, and it takes much
experience, skill and hardihood to quail
fly man for first class place among
sponge divers. Many of the most valu
able specimens are found at depth
varying from 10 to 35 fathoms. To aid
in the descent, the divers make use of a
triangular stone, with hole in one cor
ner, through which rope is spliced
On reaching the deep sea gardens, where
the rock lodges arc clothed with marine
growths, the diver, retaining hold on
his rope, dexterously breaks away the
holdfast Of the sponges and places them
under his arm until sufficient load has
been CLEANED, when pull on the rope
signals his companions above that he is
ready to ascend, and he is then hauled
to the surface, bearing his ocean treas
