midd!e-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, lis indelibly associated

it had been scored by the saw dropping
down upon it-standing by wood pile
in the back yard. There are chips scat
tered around on the ground, and scraps
Of bark and more or less sawdust
What brings all this to my mind is
the sight of a man saving wood with a
5ucksaw on the deck of a schooner iy-
ing at South street wharf, stick Of
cordwood resting in the sawbuck, and
the man with his knee on it and saving

step to or from it easily; but I could
scarcely make the bucksaw seem
familiar on saltwater craft, because
it seemed TO me so essentially a thing Of

that as vessel making short voyages
and keeping near land. and hauling up,

LUMINOUS PAINT,
Used for a Variety of Purposes In city
and Country.

Luminous paint is used more in
the country than in the city, but its
use generally is increasing. saws the
New York Sun. 1t is used in cities in
dark scenes in the theaters and dancers
costumes are coated with il. Luminous
paint is used for the illumination Of
doctors signs, and of street numbers.
and night bells, and keyholes and door
knobs, and it is used to paint match
boxes and various other things. 1t is
not luminous except in the dark, and so,
for sign purposes, it is used only in
such places as are not reached by the
rays from the street lamp.
Luminous paint is not phosphores--
cent, but it absorbs light in the dav, or
light from electric or other artificial
lights, which it gives out in the dark:
most commonly, indoors and out, ii is
used upon objects that are exposed to
daylight. The distance at which such
objects can be seen at night depends
upon their size. Luminous paint is
used in the country on highway sign
boards or guidboards, for painting
posts or stones marking roadways, and
so on, and on the water it is used for
painting harbor buoys.
There is also made luminous card
board. which is used for various pur.
poses.

ASYLUMS FOR INSANE,

the First known to History.
The first retreats for the insane men
toned in history were the sacred tenn
pies of Egypt, where the highest devel-
opment of moral treatment was prac-
ticed for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices of the establish
ment of an asylum for the insane is in
the life of st. TheodOSiuS who was born
in the year 423, and died in 500. He es-
tabliSned near Bethlehem, Il monastery
to which We're annexed three infirm-
aries-one for the sick, one for the
aged and feeble and the other for such
as had lost their senses-in which all
succors, spiritual and temporal. were
afforded with admirable order, care and
affection. In medieval Christian
times couventual establishments were
used for similar purposes, but with
these exceptions there were no organ
lied asylums for the insane until the
founding of Bethlehem hospital. This.
the oldest lunatic asylum in the world,
with the doubtful exception of one at
Granada. was originally founded in 1247
rs priory in Bishopsgate. its mother
church being ST. Mary's of bethlehem
Tor Redeem in Wyclif's spelling). 1t is
spoken of as a hospital for lunatics in
1472, and as such it was granted at the
dissolution to the mayor and citizens of
London, being incorporated as a royal
foundation in 1547.

sEwS BUTTONS FOR NEwSROxS.
The Novel Philanthropy of a Lonely
WomAn in Chicago.

Woman in Chicago.
A dear old lady, of this city, who Pre-
fers to remain unnamed, being left
alone in her declining years, has adopt
ed all the street urchins as her family,
SAYS the Chicago Post. There are too
many of them to take to her home and
she is too feeble to care for so large a
family in that way. She therefore
seeks them out and gives them mittens
and pulse warmers of her own make.
She also sews buttons on their clothes
and does light mending for them also.
The pulse warmers are of peculiar con-
struction, cut from pattern of her own
devising. The upper side is made long
er than the under and projects over the
back of the hand. leaving the fingers
free to make change or WELD the black
ing brush.
Sometimes this kindly woman spends
the entire night working for her
boys" plying the needle TO rcplenish
her stock, which is largely made from
fulled cloth. Friends give her old
clothes and she uses the less worn parts
in making her mittens and pulse warm
ers. Once in awhile she fills her roomy
old bag with an assortment of buttons,
needles and thread and she sallieS forth
TO seek the alleys where her proteges
congregate. There she Will devote her
self to replacing buttons and sewing up
rents in garments, which admit more
ventilation than is desirable either for
health or comfort.
This humble philanthropisti is one of
those gentle old souls who win the
hearts of all who know them. Her
sweet face, softened in expression by
the manifold trials of rearing and the
loss of large family, some by death
and some by marriage, is framed In
iron-gray hair. She finds solace for her
grief in this self-imposed task.

"OANCE Or THE STARVING "
An Odd Event Among the Poor OF
HnnnS

A striking article on the agricultural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener Journal,
under the title of The Dance of the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized q number of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
tc the strike of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed in the Hungarian
reichstag for regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
ers. That bill is regarded as eNcep-
tionally hostile to the latter. For the
laborers, however liberty of speech and
CT public meeting is so restricted as to
render all gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem of popular balls. 1t is
pointed out that the accounts of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pilla~c
and strike against taxes. which have
rendered necessary the Intervention cf
the military. The present movement is
a direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent its recurrence. The obnoxious
bill. according to the Neues Wiener
journal. delivers up the laborcr to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer.
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into. and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay if the laborcr should. in his opin-
ion, be socialist agitator. If the la
horer, however, should fail TO anrcar
at the time and place appointed. the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him 10 carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding.
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event of strike. Such Injustice as
this, as the writer remarks. might con-
vert strike very easily into rebel

TO me the curious information regard
ing the shedding of its teeth by the
muskellunge during the summer
months. 1 now have confirmation on
L. Stanton, of Chicago, and l believe
the phenomenon properly to be regard
ed as established. Mr.. Stanton's OBJ
servationS were made in Wisconsin, and
his orr ginal informant had seen the
phenomenon in Canada. Now comes
Mr.. H. G. Mccartney, of Chicago, who
has observed the same thing in the wa
tiers of Cass and ItaSca counties of Min
nesota. Mr.. Mccartney says that last
spring in May and June the teeth of
all the muskellunge taken in Woman
lake and ad jacent waters We're sound
and normal. On July 10 he examined
fish which showed jaws red and in
famed and with some of the teeth
missing. In August still more teeth
were found to be absent in specimens
examined. In late August and in Sep
TENDER it was the rule that no teeth
at all would be found In the mouths of
the muSkellunge taken. The muskel-
lunge taken in October all showed per-
feet teeth. Mr.. Mccartney intends TO
keep record on this matter next year.
He does not know whether the teeth are
shed yearly or not, but knows that they
are shed sometimes.
