There is a roca known as amy-
daloid, one of the _ igneous rocks,
which, in some of the gigantic
transformations of nature, we will
say in cooling from a melted state,
formed within itself cavities, from
the size of a marble or head to that
of a closed hand. Now, as nature
abhors a vacuum, she sets to work
to fill these cavities,, and in doing
so she used other materials, and
these combinations produced some
of what we call the “precious stones
of commerce.” Exactly how this
was done we cannot tell, but we
see some hint of the operation in
every subterranean cave where sta-
' lactites and stalagmites are found.
Every student knows that this is
the reenlt of dropping water which stee ^ c ^ aw£: -

An illuminated cat is among the
curiosities of the patent office at
"Washington, D. C. It is made of
pasteboard or tin, painted over
with phosphorous, and is made to
frighten away “rats and mice and
such small deer,” in the darkness
of cellars and'garrets. Another
painted cat is of shpet iron, with
interior clock works and a bellows.
It has poisoned steel claws and
teeth,'and, when properly set,
howls with such entrgy and natu
ralness, bristling its tail mean
while by means of the bellows, that
all the pussies in the neighborhood
are attracted to it, and killed if
they venture too near the terrible
contains carbonate of lime. The
water, evaporating, leaves a minute
particle of lime, which takes some
thing to itself from the earth or at
mosphere, and in the course of
ages bodies are formed of a most
remarkable character. In proba
bly somewhat" the same fashion
have these cavities been filled in
tber igneous rocks, and then comes
time and storm, and other agen
cies, earthquakes, perhaps, and the
rocks are rent apart, and ont drops
a bead or a bowlder, and a curious
man picks it up, and hammers, and
breaks it, and then he puts a pol
ish on it by some process, more or
less advanced, and lo! be bolds in
bis band an agate or an onyx.
Many of the stones used in the arts
have no other origin, and are de
posits of silica, oxide of iron, and
other coloring substances.
It is the color, or arrangementof
colors, that gives the name, and
thus we have agate, onyx, chalce- [
dony, corneliaD, sard, ebrystalo-
prase, sardonyx, and others, all
members of the quartz family, and
all having a family resemblance.
The agate has veins of different
shades of color in parallel lines.
Sometimes these are very close to
gether, as many as fifty to the inch,
but this is unusual. When there
are alternate bands of color, and a
transparent medium, we have the
onyx, but the latter may be obtain
ed by cutting the ston e in a differ
ent way.
Agates are used chiefly for orna
mental purposes, such as cups,
Beals, rings, handles for parasols,
table and mantel ornaments, bnt
the material is so bard that it can
only be worked by those who have
practiced skill.
The onyx was valued by the. an
cients for its application to cameos
and intaglios—the first an object
in relief, the latter a “cut-in” pro
cess, and these objects are still
made.
Nature produces some very
strange forms,, occasionally, and
agates are found with exact resem
blance of moss and other natural
objects and figures, which are very
curious, and often very valuable.
Was the cat, as the fireside pet,
known to the ancients? If it was,
was it as the domestic animal fa
miliar to ourselves, or was it sim
ply a domestic savage, like the
monkey or the gazelle? Professor
Yirehow inclines to the latter opin
ion. Having examined the mum
mies of the Egyptian cats, he found
they had nothing in common with
our feline friend. The cats of an
tiquity, according to other archse-
ologists, were slenderer than ours,
aud approached the. weasel in ap
pearance. But Signor Saglio, the
distinguished Italian scholar,^read
the other day, before the Academy
of Inscriptions, at Paris, a memoir
on the subject, in which -he holds a
contrary opinion to that of Vir
chow. The cat was in ancient
times, he maintains, the identical
domestic animal known- in modern
Europe. On Etruscan tombs he
bap found paintings which repre
sent the cat as a regular inmate of
the house of the deceased, one of
these pictures showing a company
at dinner and the cat toying under
the table with bones of chicken or
partridge.

There’s The Dinner Bell!
e&H
What a clattering and chatter
ing as the children answer the din
ner bell and rush into the dining
room. Oh! the gratification a good
appetite affords as our noon day’s
meal is set before as. Bnt this
vacant chair, what does it mean?
“Oh, that’s Uncle Charley’s chair.
Guess he don’t feel like eating,he’s
got dyspepsia, you know.” Dys
pepsia! Horrors! Deliver us from
dyspepsia. What’s the use of be
ing plagued with such an ailment
anyway? What’s the use having a
stomach so irritated and sore that
even one bite of food gives it dis
tress? Why not heal the soreness
and allay the irritation, and
strengthen its muscular processes,
by Using Botanic Blood Balm.
Will, it cure? It certainly will.

whole table, so to speak.”

would be only too happy to pay the
full tax rate on such a sum.

Chemnitz Letter in Dry Goods Economist.
A new device which will be of
interest to dealers of hosiery in the
United States, has been recently
patented in several European coun
tries; and an application for a pat
ent is on file in the American pat
ent office. Said device consists of
a combination stocking and garter,
made by running a rubber elastic
band through e welt at the top of
the stocking.
The ends of the elastic appear
outside of the welt, and may be ar
ranged to fasten with a button or
a fancy clasp similar to those used
on kid gloves. The elastic can be
drawn out and inserted at will, al
though the necessity of taking it
out does not appear, as it is said
that the best rubber will satisfac
torily stand the washing process.
When the elastic is in place the
general appearance of the stocking
is not changed, as the fastening,
unless metallic, will be of the same
color as the stocking.
