The Earliest Mining.

The earliest miners and metal workers of whom we have record were the Aryan people of Euro.Asian origin, who though of pastorisl and arborexl habits, were Ia. miliar with the metxis and worked with thsm--at least with the metals gold, sil
 yer and bronze. Chaldeans and Aasyr- fans, as we now koow from the cunei. form inscriptions which @ back 5000 B. O.. were undou otedly expert in tue use of metals, while the Egyptians had sn intimate knowledge of the arts and sciences. h the brick and other inscrip tions recently discovered, srtisans are seen q. work with tools. PJtters. in. deed, had attained sminencs in their art, and the Egyptians had certainly knowl. edge of chemistry, as the samples of lheiT glsssblowiGg and the stone pictures of tools, forceps. blow p,pss, etc., prove Gold vas largely used at an early period between 40)J and 5O0o B O, as we find from some newly discovered and ingen- ious weighing balances. Many centuries older than the pyramids, which date from fifty to sixty centuries back, we have examples of engineering in Memphis which could not have osen cons ricIei without tools and necessarily sn acqnAius snce with metals. rne word "metaIs' Is of Ssnitic origin-ths Hsorew word "mstaIs," to forge, indicates an early ac. quainrance with the fu..ng of ores and the malleAollity of metals. H,w ih.se early primitive ps,ple disc ,yersi ths use of things must, ot course, have been through their needs. particularly after they left pastoral and tent ilfs and began to build cities.

Fi0ne0 In Line.

1t is not unusual at the Aquarium to
see in tank the fishes all together side
by side and heads in line like platoon
or section of men. They remain thus
for considerable time. Most fishes are
gregarious, they keep together in
schools in the water, and here they
seem to keep together for company's
sake. Sometimes all the fishes in a
tank but one will be lined up in this
way side by side and headed in one di-
rection. while the single fish will be
back of the others, and headed the
other way. Then the suggestion of
soldiers conveyed to the mind by the
fishes in line is strengthened. For the
single fish seems to be a rear guard,
looking out for the enemy in that di-
rection.-N. Y. Sun.

Ono Of the Latest Fnncics Among
Needle Workers in a Fret
ty Ornament.

The "motto" hanging curtain or por.
ticre is the latest fancy among the
guild of needle workers. To make i;
the woman who knows her bushes:
procurcs a number Of lengths Of two
inch ribbon in her favorite co!ors, OF
varying shades thereof, and uron these
ribbons she induces her friends to in
scribe their autographs together with
the date of inditing. the motto or
watchward which is supposed to rule
and dominate their life and character,
and any other fragments of similar
nature liked.
The lettering is done in sepia, oil
colors, colored or even black ink. ac-
cording to taste. Sepia looks especial
IL we'll upon yellow, golden brown or
certain shades of green; black ink is
striking upon scarlet or blue; purple
writing fluid is lovely upon lavender
or other pansy tones. If the maker
of the portierc is doubtful concerning
the ability of her friends to do the let.
tering artistically she merely asks
them to write upon slips of white pa.
per, and herself copies the legends
thus obtained upon the ribbons. In
rare cases tie names are embroidered
instead of written.
When ready for making up the rib.
bons-varying from six to ten feet in
length-are attached to and sus-
pended from wider ribbon as long
as the portiere is to be wide, and upon
which is emblazoned the name, motto
and other particulars concerning the
fair owner. Fringed, scalloped or
pointed ends of similar or cle same
ribbon, q line of painting or EN-.
broide1v, may serve to conceal the
method of joining. Once attached the
loose ends of ribbon are arranged ac-
cording to the location of tic motto
If this is near the top or bottom of to
ribbon the portiere is connected mid
way; if passing along most of the
length the waving ribbons arc allowed
to hang free. Rainbow" portieres of
this order are much liked

Pearls.

Pearls.
As yet the origin of pearls is matter
of mere speculation. The old theory
that they were "congealed dewdrops
pierced by sunbeams" was supported
by naturalists as late as 1854, and is
evidenced in Venetian medal bearing
an open oyster shell receiving drops of
rain, with the motto: by the divine
dew" Later conchologists, however,
contend that the pearl nucleus may be
some minute particle, as grain of
sand, or the frustule of diatom, or
a tiny parasite, or perhaps one of the
ova of the pearl oyster itself. This
particle or foreign body is gradually
surrounded by thin layers of nacre I'M
til it is completely encysted and the
pearl formed. The consecutive layers
may vary in brightness and color, and
a defect may be caused by contact with
another foreign substance, thus chang
ing the value with each new layer, and
sometimes causing "lvely kerneF' or
seed" to be inclosed in an apparent
ly poor pearl.-Lippincott's
