An Anecdote of JENNY Lima.

nous prima donna refused TO sit down at

"No, she would walk about the room,
talking perhaps. singing perhaps, some
times even busy with her needle and
thread, but never sitting down the live
long day until the performance was
over. Why. remember well enough
how one day, on the morning of per-
formance, Jenny Lind, Mr.. Reeves, Mr..
Otto Goldsmith and myself were in the
room, and through the morning Jenny
Lind and my husband We're never still,
pacing one past the other. with music
In hand, singing and practicing.
why, Jenny, said Mr.. Goldsmith,
'you must have sung those songs many
times; surely there is no need for all
this. But this remonstrance was in
vain. You are fine musician, said
Jenny in her quiet, decisive manner,
but Mr.. Reeves and / are singers,
and we know what Is best for our
selves Leave us alone. ~ Westminster

the travellers who visited the regions Of

Ibn Batuta, u Moor who visited Cathay

similar incident:
That same night juggler who was
one Of the khan's slaves made his ap-
pearance, and the emir said to him,
''Come and show us SOME of your mar.

ball, with several holes In IL, through
which long thongs were passed, and,
laying hold Of one Of these, slunR it in

sight of IL altogether. It was the hot
test season Of the year, and we were
outside in the middle Of the palace
court. There now remained only little

thong, aud we lost sight Of him also.
The conjurer then called TO him three
times, but getting no answer he snatch

hold Of the thong and disappeared also.
BY and by he threw down one of the
boys hands, then foot. then the other
hand and then the other foot, then the
trunk and last Of all the head. Then
he came down himself, all putting and
painting, and with his clothes all bloody

MODERN PRISONS.

TheirEery improvements Are wiIat Drive
English Convicts Mad.
The official belief is that there is lit
tie or no prison made insanity. Prison
doctors are keenly alive to the possibil-
ity of shamming, and they hesitate to
admit that there is any flaw in the sys-
tenn for the administration Of which
they are so largely responsible. Still
the fact remains that tho ratio Of insan-
ity in prisons has exactly doubled since
1877.
The admitted general increase Of in
sanity is not sufficient to account for
this startling fact. Prison discipline is
now more mechanical, and therefore
more depressing. Its very improvements
in this respect "take the heart out of o
man" 1t is probable that prisoners
were far happier is the old unreformed
prisons, when they herded together and
had companionship Of q kind.
An expert witness who had passed
four and twenty years in Jail told the
prison committee some startling things
from the convict's point of view. The
rules, he said, arc too minute for human
observance, and some minds are totally
unable to bear the strain of them. A
man may be reported for knocking
something over in his cell, though it
may be by pure accident The namo
for this offense is unnecessary noise. {"
As the poor wretcbes walk their weary
round in the exercise yard one may fall
out of step and thus throw the others
out. The first offender or the last--any
one. in fact, on whom the warder's eye
happens to fall-,is liable to punishment
for this mischanoe.
In this way the convict gradually ac-
quires an expression that never leaves
him--the round the corner glance of q
being who breads tyrant ON the pounce.
We want new Howard if the system
is only half as bad as it is said to be by
those who have best reason to know.

Knots Tied by Machinery.

II inventions continue to multiply at

his pleasures are turned out for him by
nickel in the slot devices. Science has

Two of the most interesting automata

United States are those used by the gov
ernment for counting and tying postal

cards in ten hours and wrapping and

In this operation the paper il pulled off
drum by two long "6ngers," which
come up from below, and another finger
dips in a vat of mucilage and applies it.
self to the wrapping paper in exactly
the right spot. Other parts of the ma
chine twine the paper around the pack
of cards, and then "thumb" presses
over the spot where the mucilage is,
and the package is thrown upon carry

Foolish Salesman.

Lundy Foot, the Dublin tobacconist,
laid the foundation Of his large fortune
by saying TO each dirty, ragged little
girl, as no handed her tho pennyworth
Of snuff she had asked for, "Thank you,
my dear; please come again" The

A young lady was In search Of some
material to uso for waist with n very
handsome silk skirt, and she advanced
TO the counter where this particular
clerk was presiding. She was quietly
dressed. She did not sointillate with
spangles and gilt belts, and her sleeves
and skirt did not extend to the full
width Of space between the counters,
consequently the clerk decided that she
did not come from the magic precincts
Of the Back Bay.
Attracted by certain piece OF goods,
she asked the price and width. The
man answered shortly, "Three dollars
a yard, AZ inches wide" She looked at
various other things on the counter, and
then returning to the first thing as the
most pleasing she said politely:
"Will you please give me sample
Of this2"

only for house wear"
A smile stole over the faces Of two or
three shoppers, and the salesman cut the

Ingenious Peruvian Potteries.

A long, slim neck is distinguishing
feature Of much Of the Peruvian pot
terry, and nearly every vessel is orna-
mented with figure Of some sort, hav-
ing holes to represent eyes and other
openings. These afford a passage for the
air forced ont by the liquid when pour
ed into the vessel. By an ingenious con-
trivance the air in escaping produces a
sound similar to the cry Of the creature
represented. Thus a utensil decorated
with two monkeys embracing each 9th
or, ON having water poured into or from
1t, would give sound like the screech-
ing of those animals. One decorated
with bird would emit birdlike notes,
while mountain cat on one jar would
new; snakes coiled around another
would hiss The most curious that we
have seen was the figure Of an aged
woman. When the jar was in use, her
sobs became audible, and tears trickled
down her cheeks. The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos-
pheric pressure. DR.. Le Plongeon had
in his own collection a piece that DEM
onstrated this. II represented dou-
BILE headed bird. Tho vessel had TO be
filed through hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not drop would
spill, but the liquid would readily flow
out when the jar was simply inclined.

BUSY CLIFF JEWELLERS.

watch the struggling corn NJ il battles
against drifting hot sand and against
sudden foods-such are the extremities
Of their climate. Each morning while j
was in Hano heard the men at early
dawn go singing down the steep trail
down into the purple plain. Their qua

strange beauty. Each morning, while
it was still dark, the women woke me
by entering the room where | lay to
grind corn, and each night went TO

gious chant Of the toling women.
"Let it be said that there IL no wom-

are chief property holders. The house is
generally the woman's, and descent is
through her and not through the father.

Laguna and Zuni, saw the men TAX

great tenderness and smiling patience.

in case Of the old women. They seemed

to the 23d of January. 'it will be very

or on the sunny side Of fence at noon. 4"
In April he says: perhaps wet
weather if it rains" "Now fair wealth

burst Of unconscious humor. He was
speaking Of the ruin and exhaustion
wrought by misgovernment in Ireland
and worked himself up into fine fren.
zy of excited defamation.
1.-The population of Ireland" he ex-
claimed with flashing eyes and out
stretched arms, "bas been decinated 10
the extent Of two-thirds "
The mathematical absurdity OF the
statement did not fail to excite amuse-
ment, although the bull was LEGS obvi-
ous than similar one attributed to an
Irish member, Major O'Gorman.
"The population Of Ireland, " said the
contentious major in tho commons, lis
5000, 900 less than IL woald be IL II

That was joke which provoked un.
restrained merriment among the bench
en-. Tho Irish members are pardoned
many blunders, however, because they
are, with few exceptions, humorous
speakers, who enliven the tedium Of
debate with merry quips and jests. The
bores. who are constantly speaking with
unvarying dullness and diffuseness, are
not spared when they make slips Of the
tongue.
A member who In the course Of a
long, uDinteresting speech, was careless
enough to say, 1.-THE time has come and
is rapidly arriving" was greeted with a
wild howl Of ridicule and delight from
the benches. He was dazed by the up
roer, not understanding what tho hon
orable members were laughing at, but
his unconsciousness and stupidity only
served to prolong and deepen the mer-
riment. It was the English parliamen-
tary method Of Furnishing bore.
Good jokes are rare in the house Of
commons. A neat epigram exoites a
ripple Of mirth, a flashing sarcasm stirs
a movement Of pleasurable surprise,
but the loudest laughter follows some
stupid and inane commonplace from a
speaker to whom the house is compelled
to listen too often.
