The Right Time to BEGIN.

1t was during a trip to the Med
iterranean when Admiral Goldsbor-
ough was in command of the fleet
that the chaplain, a Jealous young
man, preferred request to hold serv-
ices on board the flagship on Sun
day mornings. The first Sunday
after permission had been given the
young chaplain's trepidation gave
place to supreme satisfaction when
he noted that with the exception Of
the admiral the officers and men Of
the fleet were assembled In full
forcec After waiting few mo-
ments for the admiral, who failed to
appear; the chaplain opened the
services in regulation manner: snThe
Lord is in his holy temple. Let all
the earth keep silence before him"
AS the voice. rang out in the open
ing words the admiral walked on
deck, and, though his face betoken-
ed G. storm, he took his seat in si-
lence and so remained until the con-
gregation had been dismissed. Then
he rose and, striding over to the
chaplain, said, seYoung man, I want
you to understand in future that
the Lord is not in this holy temple
until I, Admiral Goldsborough, am
on deck"

volta's Discoveries.

Volta, an Italian, made tho dis
covery that two or moro different
metals are necessary in the produc-
ton OF electricity. He constructed
the battery or pile of silver and
zinc, with several layers of moisten-
ed paper between them, and with
this simple experiment ho produced
ali tho same effects of electricity
and currents as powerful as electric
ity produced by friction Of glass and
sulphur or by amber. This is the
origin of what was known as the
s'voltaic pile" which was improved
by experimenting with other sub
stances and by Volta himself.
Instead of the two pieces Of metal
and moistencd paper he placed met
al ships in cups Of water and pro-
duced grand results. Very little i'm.
provement has been made in the vol.
taic pile, and today it is little chang.
ed from its first invention.

Erskine Quickly and with q flash

Startled into self contradiction

tumultuous laughter died away)-

A Persian Mode Of Punishment

An extraordinary punishment is
liz vogue in Persia. It consists IN
taking the culprit through the fol-
lowing "course Of sprouts" and is
said to be very etfectual, especially
when it has been applied to one
guilty Of the third ofense:
\ The first time man is caught in
the act of stealing he is sebastina-
doed" (beaten on the soles of the
feet with an iron rod) end made to
sign paper declaring that that will
be his last ofense. IF he forgets
this when the soles Of his feet quit
burning and tries it again, the sec
ond offense calls Tor the amputation
of his right hand. If he is still OBJ
durate and goes at it left handed,
the third and of course last resort
is decapitation.

Mothcr of Pearl.

The most beautiful mother of
pearl, unless that Of the obalcne be
excepted, is obtained from the nau-
titus, which is a cephelon and relat-
ed to the cuttlefsh. Occupying only
the mouth Of its dwelling, the lat
ter is composed Of series Of empty
chambers, each Of which the animal
has success rely lived in and vacat7
ed as it gre y bigger, building up be-
hind it at each move q wall Of puf-
est pearl.
These vacant rooms Of pearl are
all connected by a pneumatic tube,
which enables the creature to so
control the air supply to its house
as to make the domicile lighter or
heavier at will, in order to ascend
or descend in the water. The shell
is TOO thin to bear grinding, and SO
mnTiatic acid is used to remove the
outer coat and disclose the exquisite
nacre beneath.

TIE WATERLOO BALL,
Some OF Those There Really panece,
the Dance OF Death.

tne Dance or Death.
The Duke and Duchess of Rich
mond were living in a fine hotel on
the Rue de La Blanchissere, which
stood on its own ground and had q
fruit and flower garden extending
to the city ramparts. Their graces
moved In all the society of Brussels
and entertained q great deal. The
duchess, who had issued 22O invita-
tions for the ball. proposed to recall
them when she heard that Napole-
on's army was advancing. BUT the
Duke of Wellington, to prevent
alarm, requested that the ball might
take place.
Nevertheless many English fam
lies were frightened away from
Brussels, and post horses were kept
harnessed in the Duke of Rich
mond's stable in case bad news from
the scene of the conflict should
make it advisable for his children
to be sent to Antwerp. The major
lty OF the people of Brussels were
violent Bonapartists and were pre-
pared to entertain Napoleon in great
style should he force the British
army to retreat and enter their city
in triumph.
So it was that the Duke of Wei !.
lington and many of his officers
went to the ball after the business
of the day had heep attended to.
While the merry couples were flying
around dispatch from the front
was handed to Wellington. He ask
ed the Duke of Richmond for pri-
vate room where he might consult
with some Of his generals who were
present. The duchess dressing room
was the only convenient room safe
from intrusion.
Candles we're hastily lighted On
the dressing table, at which We'll
ington sat with map before him,
and, having explained certain points
to his staff, they all rejoined the
company. They left the house be-
fore 10 o'clock and succeeded in do
ing 80 without attracting any atten-
ton. Very few, if any, of the dan
GERS guessed how near at hand was
the crisis which was to decide the
fate of Europe, and it never entered

OF q dog fancier the other day.

the reason is that the animal has

How the Continents Attract Seas.

The effect of gravitation in heap
ing up the sea waters upon the
shores Of continents is one of the
most interesting as well as the most
curious and least considered facts III
connection with old oceans history.
Thus the continents, are all situated
at tops of great hills or mountains
OF water, and to cross the Atlantic
or any other ocean the ship has to
fret go down the sloping sheet.
cross the valley and then climb the
mountain Of water on the other side
before it safely reaches a harbor.
In this connection the interesting
calculation has been made that in
midocean on the Atlantic the de-
preston is about three-fourths Of a
mile below the level Of off the water at
coast line, while ship in travelling
from San Francisco to Y okohama,
Japan, must cross a valley at least a
milein depth.

that two-thirds of the wosaen who

they walk or fall back on the cars.
The reason is-they can make q.

English Rulers and the Language.
Unlike most other countries, Eng
land has repeatedly been governed
by foreigners, who thought SO little
of their people that they did not
even take the trouble to learn the
Language Of their subjects. Most Of
the Danish kings knew no English,
and if William the Conqueror, VIII
liam Rufus and others knew the Ian
guage they kept the fact to them
selves.
The early French kings, in fact,
regarded England as conquest and
France as their home. Richard T.,

Of the ten years of his reign on Eng
lish soil. In modern times George
I. neither knew nor cared to learn
English, and George II. spoke it
very imperfectly.
