Toothless Saws.

Toothless saws have been in use cut
ting armor plate for a number Of
years. The theory Of the action is
abrasion by local fusion, due to the
very high speed Of the disk, causing
so many thousand inches OF surface
to impinge on the metal undercut that
the material acted upon is heated at
the point of contact to temperature
approa ching, II not equal to. the fus-
ing point. It appears as If a very
small portion Of the metal being cut
Immediately in the neighborhood OF
the point of contact is first melted and
at once rubbed off. thus exposing a
fresh surface to the frictional action
and that this process goes on con-
tinuously while the disk IS working.
The temperature Of the disk must nee
essarily be much lower than the work
in contact with it, owing to its large
surface area. and when 1t is consid-
cred that all the frictonal' energy OF
the rotating disk is concentrated on
an extremely small area OF contact ID
the material subjected to its action
the results obtained are not 50 surprts-

A PARADISE For 4old Women ?

Talk Of growing old at. sixty and
one recalls a society In which to ac-
cuire age was to acquire recognition
and social happiness. Lady Mary
Mon.agu discovered this haven for the
elderly among the viennese nobility
of the early eighteenth century. y
can assure you" she wrote home to
Lady Rich in i716. that wrinkles or
a small Stoop in the shoulders-nay.
gray hair itself-is no objection to max
ing new conquests. a woman tlll
FIVE and thirty is only looked upon as
raw girl and can possibly make no
noise in the world till about forty.
don't know what your ladyship may
think about the matter, but tbs a con-
siderable comfort to me to know there
is upon earth such paradise for old
women. and, l am content to be In
significant at present in the design Of
returning when I am fit to appear mo-
where else. -

Strict economy III buying is the only
qualification that can insure position

Cnlcss the patients are unreasonable
in their demands we provide the kind
Of clothes they ask for. and no doubt
many of them leave the boSpirai better
dressed than they have ever been in
their lives. Since those outfits have to
be duplicated a good many times in,
the course Of the year II is obvious

Shinaina Gold Beads.


"We used to string gold beads on
slender gold ehain,'' said the jeweler.
'ebut now we don't unless ordered The
gold used IL the chain is harder than
that Of which the beads are made. and
so the chain wears the beads in their
perforations and channels out little
worn places at the ends Of the perfora-
tons in the circumference: OF the beads
and so makes them less perfect. And.
however slender the chain may be,
beads strung on a chain do not fall
and lie in curves always smooth and
graceful So now usually we string
gold beads on a silk cord. 4 material Of

adaptability: on silk cord the string
Of beads falls gracefully To be sure,
the silk wears. out sooner than a gold
chain would do. and if strung on silk
the beads should be restrunE once or
twice year. according to how much
they are worn. "'1t for stringing gold
beads i silk cord seems to answer the
purpose most .,e-iectly."-New York

Delicate Generosity.

One of the many stories Of Grant
which grip the hearts and minds Of
the people was once told by General
Simon B. Buckner at a meeting OF
Confederate veterans.
Grant and I were chums at West
Point began General Buckner. 51:
had befriended him at one time. and It
can justly be said Of him that he never
forgot q kindness. After the Union
victories at Henry and DoDelson I met
Grant ca the boat at the surrender,
and be followed noe when went to
headquarters. He left the officers OF
his own army and followed me with
that modest manner peculiar to him
into the shadow and there rendered me
his purse-pressed it into my hand
without a word.
.It seemed to me" concluded Gen
eral Buckner, that II the marvellous
modesty Of his nature he was afraid
the light would witness that act Of
generosity and sought to hide it from
the world. almost from his own soul"

Diana of Ephcsus.

Epbesus was one of the twelve Ionic
cities OF Asia Minor and was situated
in Lydia. near the mouth Of the river
Caystrus. According to Strabo. it was
founded by .androclus, son Of Codrus.
1t ultimately came into possession OF
the Romans, and in the time Of Au.
gustus it was the greatest place Of
trade Of all the cities Of Asia west Of
the Taurus. St Paul resided there
three years. but the destruction Of its
great temple by the Goths in 2G0 A D.
gave it a blow from which it never
recovered This was the famous tenn
pie Of Diana Near the western ex-
tremitv of the town are still to be seen
some massive structures. which have
since 1868 been carefully eScavated.
It is now certain that these stand Oh

Several relics Of exceptional value
and Of unusual interest to archaeolo-

Antiquity OF the Senate.


The senate is historically much older
than the lower house. or house Of rep
resentatives. as it is called in our
country and time In the remote time,
while as yet there was no such thing
as q science of government, the tribe
was wont to look to its old men, on
account Of their wisdom and expert
ence. for advice in all matters per-
tanning to the tribe, and those old
men were the first senators. The
word senator comes from "senis,"
meaning old. AS civilization advanced
and seated government became q fact
the senate continued to be composed
Of the old men, and when by and by
the second chamber, or council, was
added the senate continued to receive
the larger measure Of reverence and
respect.-New York American.

Niah Winds and Skyscrapers.

Speaking OF the effect OF high winds
upon the SEyScrapers. the superintend-
ent Of buildings in New York city said:
Observation has been made On sew
eral tai, buildings from time to time,
as to the effect Of wind. We find there
is a slight movement to almost every
building. In the case Of some OF the
tallest this movement frequently
amounts to as much as eight or ten
inches horizontally, IS shown by the
plumb lines. However. there is no
noticeable vibration, and whatever
movement there is is gradual and can
not be felt. This does not affect in
any way the safety Of the structure.
as these buildings are designed to
Withstand the necessary effects Of the
wind as well as to support the weight
Of the building itself and its contents"

Ci1..S.' Literary Gains.

The papers have often printed
great deal Of pure nonsense on the
subject Of Dickens literary gains.
Dickens is stated to have died leaV-
ing earnings; that often accrue to a
respectable solicitor" This is rub
bisn. Dickens left s93, 1000 in round
figures, and this did not include g con-
siderable sum Of money that he had
settled some years before his death.
His readings Qs5s-ee) had brought in
about $4,000. It is forgotten that
Dickens began life without one penny
and that every farthing he spent or
gave away or left was earned by him
self, only excepting $1,000 which was
bequeathed to him by a friend about
two years before his own death. Dick
ems lived literally (some people said
extravasantly) for about thirty-four
years. he brought up and started in
