The Struggles OF ~ Sculptor.

Augustin RQdin, the French sculptor,
had a great struggle with poverty and
adverse criticism il his youth. Of an
episode of this early period a writer
says: with that infexsble will and
singleness Of purpose that never failed
him throughout his career the young
sculptor set himself to express in clay,
marble or bronze his conception of life
and art. He used his leisure in work
ing at nighttime, in deserted stable
he had transformed into a studio, at
his wonderful mask of THE Man With
the Broken Nose. After eighteen
months of hard and patient labor he
finished this mask and sent it to the
salon. It took the hanging committee
fourteen years to discover any merit
in the work, for it was rejected in 1864
and finally accepted only in 1873"

Board as follows:
Gentlemen of the Rock County Board:
For this cordial testimonial of appre-
citation on your part, of my services, as
chairman, | desire to say [ fully recip-
rocate and count it one of the pleasant
features of my life that [ have been per-
mitted by your grace to occupy the
chair and preside over this splendid
body of men for the past two years, and
now as I lay down this gavel for the last
time and return to you the trust you
have reposed in me, will you permit me
to say few words concerning the Board
work. By the grace of my constituents
I have been permitted to sit in this body
for eight years. nearly decade. In that
time much has been done for the public
good and much money has been expend
ed in behalf of the county. We have
built county jail; we have made gen
eral improvements at the county farm,
including complete fire protection that
has at least once indicated the large
investment and saved our asylum build

Food of the oyster.

"Many gallons, probably many bar
rels, of water are drawn through the
gills of each oyster each day." writes q
university professor, 'and the micro
scopic beings that it may hold are
strained out and pushed along into the
oysters mouth. Each microscopic or
ganism is q long time in travelling from
the point where it first touches the gill
to the oysters stomach; all this while it
is alive and capable Of becoming the
parent of new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions. Most of these or
ganisms are wholesome to man, and all
that enter the oysters stomach are
quickly killed and converted into it's
paIatable and nutritious substance, but
so long as they are travelling along the
gills all are alive and, some are eX-
tremely dangerous to man The oyster
exercises choice in the selection Of it's
food, rejecting some of the microscopic
organisms and swallowing others, but
those that are discharged into the wa
ter with the sewage Of cities are not
unfortunately among the ones that are
rejected, and before these have entered
the oysters stomach they are most ia
vorably placed for gaining entrance
into human stOmachs and multiplying
there

Dickens Gay Clothes.

We were walking down Wellington
street, Strand, and just passing the Of
fee Of Household Words, when a han
som cab stopped, and out stepped a
gayly dressed gentleman. His bright
green waistcoat, vivid scarlet tie and
pale lavender trousers would have been
noticed by any one, but the size of the
nosegay in his buttonhole riveted my
attention, for it was a regular flower
garden. My father stopped and intro
duced me, and l, who had only seen
engravings of the Maclse portrait and
very handsome head in my mothers
photograph album, was astonished to
find myself shaking hands with the
great novelist Charles Dickens.-From

Fed Them ON Stale News.

In the British arctic expedition of
1875 one Of the chaplains had file Of
the London Times twenty years old,
containing the Crimean war reports.
One copy was given out to each ship
daily. The officers had it first, then it
went to the forecastle, and soon every
one was as keen about the news as If
the war had been proceeding. The
clergyman In control of the press was
besought to issue an evening edition,
and when Sevastopol was about to be
taken excitement ran so high that the
newspaper office-a locker-was almost
stormed. The editor, however, was
firm and continued with his daily issue,
the interest being kept up to the end
Of the expedition.

The GiIded Man.

At the headwaters of the Orinoco the
Spanish traditions located the land of
Ell Dorado, 1.-The Gilded Man," po-
tentate whose country was so rich in
gold dust that he had his body anoint-
cry morning, so that he shone in the
sun as though gilded. 1t is a curious
fact that the country in which tradi-
ton located this marvellous being has
never been explored by a white man.

Queer Beliefs About the Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only
OH St. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gath
ering OF the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. po-
vet in his 'Pandemonium, published
in 1884, says: "AIuch discourse hath
been about gathering Of fern seed
(Which is looked upon as magical
herb on the night Of midsummer's eve,
and remember was told of one who
went to gather it, and the spirits whisk-
ed by his ears like bullets and some
times struck his hat and other parts Of
his body In fine, though he apprc-
hended he had got a quantity of it
and secured it in papers and box be-
side, when he got home he found all
empty. But most probable this appoint
ing Of time and hours is of the DEVILS
own institution, as well as the fact
that, having once ensnared people to
an obedience to his rules, he may with
more facility Oblige them to stricter
vassalage"

Observation.
