North Carolina Emeralds.

In Alexander county, N. c., the
farmers in blowing used to turn up
pretty grass green prisms which they
called green bolts" Professor W.
E. Holden identified them as elner-
aids, and in July, 1880, he started in
to mine for them. He got many EN-.
eralds, but also discovered another
kind Of emerald green stone unknown
until then, which he named hidden
ite." 1t occurred in slender prisms.
Digging for it has since been carried
on very proftably in that locality.
By lapidaries it is highly esteemed,
and it has found much use in jew
elry. Seventy-four emeralds were
found in a single pocket" but most
of them were too badly fawed to
have much value. - Boston Tran.

The famous leaning tower of Pisa
is a campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical in
form, is 1877 feet high and 80 feet in
diameter, made entirely OF white
marble. 1t is called the leaning tow.
er from the fact that it inclines some
30 feet from the perpendicular, and
it is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives the tower
such remarkable appearance, was
not intentional. At the time it was
about half done the error in meas
urement was perceived. 1t was
guarded against by the use of extra
braces in the further construction OF
the building and an adaptation of
the stone in tho highest portion.
There are seven bells on the top Of
the tower, tho largest of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
so placed as to counteract as far as
possible the leaning of the tower it

ONLY FOUR iMMORTALS.
janles Resell Lowell CyaWns Homo

Janles R,sasn Lowell Cravns Homer
Dante, Cervantes and Goethe.
There are certain books which 1t is
necessary to read, but they are very
few. Looking at tho matter from IN
aesthetic point Of view merely, l
should say that thus far only one
man had been able to use types so
universal and to draw figures SO Coz
uopolitan that they are equally true
in all languages and equally accept
able to the whole Indo-E European
branch, at least, Of the human fa1ni-
ly. That man is Homer, and there
needs, it seems to me, no further
proof of his individual existence than
this very fact of the solitary unap
proachableness of the "Iliad" and the
"Odyssey." The more wonderful
they are, the more likely to be the
work Of one person. Nowhere is the
purely natural man presented to us
SO nobly and sincerely as in these
poems.
Not far below these I should place
the "Divina Commedia" of Dante, in
which the history of the spiritual
man is sketched with equal COM
mand of material and grandeur of
outline. don Quixote" stands upon
the same level and receives the same
universal appreciation. Here we
have the spiritual and the natural
man set before us in humorous con-
trast. In tho knight and his squire
Cervantes has typified the two OPP
posing poles Of our dual nature-the
imagination and the understanding
as they appear in contradiction.
This is the only comprehensive satire
ever written, for 1t is utterly indie,
pendent Of time, place and manners.
Faust" gives us the natural his.
tory of tho human intellect, Mephis-
topheles being merely the projected
impersonation of that skepticism
which is the invariable result of a
purely intellectual culture. These
four books are the only ones in
which universal facts Of human na-
ture and experience are ideally rep
resented. They can therefore never
be displaced.
haven not mentioned Shakespeare,
because his works come under diff.
ferent category. Though they mark
the very highest level Of human gen.
ius, they yet represent no special
epoch in the history of the individual
mind. The man of Shakespeare is
always the man Of actual life, as he
is acted upon by the worlds of sense
and of spirit under certain definite
conditions. We all of us may be in
the position Of Macbeth or Othello
or Hamlet, and we appreciate their
sayings and deeds potentially, 80 to
speak, rather than actually, through
the sympathy of our common nature
and not of our experience. james

Before and After.

As an instance of the surprising in
crease in value that q picture ao-
quires after an artist has become IA
nous, the following is interesting:
A dealer once went to the studio Of
David Cox and purchased painting
off his easel for &10. A few days
afterward the old man went to him
and said
"You are young and have wife
and children. I think I have charged
you too much for that picture, and I
have brought you back e."
Not many years after that same
painting was sold for 45o guineas.
