The following sentence is kind of
literary curiOusity: ''Sator arepo tenet
opera rotas." 1t is curious, because it
spells the same words backwards as
forwards: the first letter of each word,
placed cOnsecutively, spells the first
word; the second letter of each word
spells the second word. and so on to the
end; the last letters read backwards
spell the last word, the next to the last
letters, the next to the last word, and
so on throughout; and there are just
as many letters in each word as there
are words in the sentence.

One.of the latest. and certainly most
effective. methods of making artificial
flowers is the use Of fresh bread.
All that is required is a loaf of fresh
bread, some wire and a little colo
matter. According to q well known
maker OF artificial flowers in the west
end of London, this novel method is
likely to supersede all others. Not only
do these bread flowers look exactly like
the real article when freshly made, but
as the bread grows stale the flowers as
sumo Q slightly withered appearance,
which is almost identical with that on 4
flower beginning to fade.
As a rule, ordinary artificial flowers
can at nee be detected by the unnatu-
rally bright and fresh appearance they
present after being in the heated atmos-
phere of a ballroom or elsewhere for
several hours, but the fading power OF
bread flowers practically insures them
against detection, even from the eyes OF
an expert. London Answers.

Rhea Fiber.

The claim is put forth by the London
Times that the CONFESS process for
treating the rhea fiber is completely
successful in rendering that plant a
most valuable source of textile materi-
al. This process adopts zincate of soda
for the elimination of the resins and
effects it without the slightest injury to
the fiber. After the ribbons" or strips
of bark have been freed from oirt they
are placed in weak acid baths for a
night. Next morning they are passed
through a mild alkaline bath and then
boiled in weak solutions of caustic SC.
da to which zinc has been added. When
washed and dried by the usual me-
ohanical means, the fbers emerge as q
long silky floss, entirely free from the
onticle and resinous gums in which
they were imbedded. being also clean,
white and ready for the ccnb of the
spinner. They likewise take the most
attractive dyes and can be worked into
every variety Of fabric, from the finest
quality Of velvets to cheap drills and
delicate laces. The combined lightness
and toughness of the fiber render it pc
ouiiariy suitable for tents and ship can
vas, and three ffths more cloth of equal
strength can be produced from rhea
than from the same weight Of linen
that is, 1000 yards Of rhea n
weighs only as much as 600 yards Of
linen, its durability and resisting power
TO strain being also much greater.

BAD spellinr As !. Result Of Disease.

People who spell very badly are not
uncommon, and this defect is almost
always the occasion of serious annoy
ance to them and embarrassment to
their friends. That bad spelling is
caused by a disease is a statement that
will be new to many. but that such a
state of things exists is proved by excel
lent medical authorities. In certain con-
ditions of brain and nerves the patient
almost invariably writes "ot" instead
Of ito" In another slightly varying
form. instead of the the first letter is
omitted, and so in many other Of the
shorter words. This malady usually
affects the brain only IN connection
with words Of one syllable. but cases
have occurred where longer words have
been so distorted that it was difficult to
get their sense. 1t is q question whether
u would be comforted by being told
that bad spelling was caused by mental
disease or whether he would prefer 10
have this lack of accuracy set down TO
ignorance or carelessness. New York

Nature,s colo stornge House.

In the valley of the Plethora river,
which flows from the Ural mountains
into the Arctic ocean near Nova Zem-
bla, there is a state of things which is
attracting the attention Of naturalists
and is only ore moro example of how
judioiously nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has a sturdy growth Of
crowberI.e2, cloadbaTries, cranberries,
any Dulnbcr &C small fruit bearing
plants, with h5ath moss and lichens,
soiue Of which bear seed and fruit IN
great profession. An eminent ornitholo-
gist, in the course Of his researches in
this locality, stopped for a little time.
There were millions Of acres covered
with these growths. The arctic summer
has a perpetual sun, and the indigenous
plants aud trees grow and develop with
great rapidity. The summer comes sud
denly, and with it innumerable birds
of all varieties, but they come TO what
seems a barren waste, for there is moth
ing visible but snow and ice. Within "a
hours, however, this frostbound region
changes its appearance. The nov dis
solves, the ice melts away, and natures
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants,
with their loads OF fruit, keeping it in
the most perfect condition until the
springtime, when it furnishes food for
the millions Of birds that make this
their summe home. -NewYork Ledger.

ROBERT FULTON'S FlANCEE.

What Betrot,al Meant to a Girl Early In
the Century.
For Helen Livingston there remained
hardly one more year of happy girlhood,
free I o go and come, dance and be mer-
ry, in the old innocent girlish fashion,
for at that time betrothal was as sacred
as marriage itself and much more re-
'strictive, of privileges. That is, the free
dom of girlhood was lost and that of the
matron had not come. If the lover were
present, of course these restrictions were
not felt, but in his absence the poor girl
had little more liberty than a Hindoo
widow. She must not accept even the
most ordinary attentions from any man,
must dance with no one except her ia
Their or brother, and she must always
wear, conspicuously displayed, hanging
from her neck face outward, the min
iature of her future husband.
These miniatures were often skillful-
ly painted on ivory and were usually
oval in shape and about BE- inches by
az in size, without counting the gold
frames, which were sometimes quite
heavy. The broad remarks which it was
considered in order for even chance ao-
quaintances to address to the fiancee
upon sight of this badgeof appropriation
were intolerable to Helen Livingston,
and rather than subject herself TO them
she resolutely refrained from accepting
an invitation even to her loved Cousin
Chancellor's'' during the few months of
her engagement, which ended in a hap
by marriage in the spring of 1869.
On one occasion, when a large and
most interesting company OF American
spd foreign guests was expected at Cler-
mont, Helen vainly sought her mothers
permission TO attend without wearing
the ~telltale portrait. Finding that this
would not be allowed and realizing that
her sisters disappointment would be
great, "Sister Patty, F." only 15, but al
ready tall and stately, heroically volun-
teered to wear the obnoxious picture,
p%ersonating its rightful owner. But the
innocent fraud was not permitted, and
as Helen would not go if obliged to
wear the miniature, she was compelled
to ~relinquish the coveted pleasure. Of
course the boy lover-he was barely 81
was in no way responsible for this
custom, which he subsequently often
and justly characterized as odious, and
] think that he never liked to see the
miniature which had been the means of
depriving of ever SO small a pleasure the
woman whom he idolized through q
long life. IA Group of American Girls

son Smith, in Century.

THE "%DELIeRTFUa- POISON"
Peculiar Manner In Which winemaking
In Persia Originated.

Peculiar Manner In Which Winemaking
In Persia Originated.
"In the Kingdom ofthe Shah" by DR..
Preacher Collins, the author tells Of the
origin IF winemaking in Persia. 1t was
durins the reign of King Jamsheed that
She vineyards of Shiraz. as today, were
noted for the superlative quality of the
grapes they produced on accoun Of the
variations of temperature-the intense
cold of winter and extreme heat Of sum-
mer-to which they were subjected
King Jarnsheed was exceedingly fond
of Shiraz grapes, and in order TO enjoy
them throughout the'year conceived the
idea of preserving them in a jar. Fer
mentation, of course, took place, and
when the jar was opened and found TO
contain a quantity of acid liquid it was
looked upon as poison by the king. He
placed it in BEETLES and labeled il as
such. On a certain occasion one Of his
female favorites, who was sorely afiict-
ed with a headache, discovered
the bottles marked poison and swal-
lowed the contents of one in the hope Of
putting an end to her life. The effect,
however, was to throw her into a deep
sleep, from which she awoke much be-
freshed. The result was 50 delightful
that she frequently repeated the dose nm
til all the supposed poison was con-
sumed.
The king, who missed the bottles,
caused inquiry to be made, and the Sc
cretof their disappearance was revealed.
This led to the manufacture of a wine
from Shiraz grapes, which TO this day is
known as Zeher-e-Khoosh. or "the de-
lightful poison" The laws Of the Koran
against the use Of sp~irituous liquors are
generally very rigidly observed, particu.
larry among ths poorer Glasses. DR.. Col
Inns says that he never saw an intoxicat-
ed Mohammedan, even among the cha
yadars, men who do tho most laborious
work. Unlike their western prototypes,
who cannot exist without beer or spirits,
they refresh themselves only with a suck
at a hubble bubble pipe or q cup Of very
strong. sweet, hot tea in either the
sweltering heat of summer or the in
tense cold of winter. Tipping in Persia
is confined exclusively to the richer
classes and INDUCED in only in the ser
clasion of the anderan. The Persians
make two sorts Of wine, a red and a
white. The latter contains an excess of
alcohol and is in greater favor with
those who indulge in secret drinking.
Arrack, q crude, fiery spirit, is likewise
distilled. 1t is probable that when
Persia has railroads and the vineyards
Of Shiraz become accessible, the superior
quality Of the grapes for ~winemaking
will attract the attention of western
manufacturers.
