Illustrations borrowed from fact

of an old man driving a tunuel into
a mountain at a pu.ee wnere he

THE STEAM ENGINE.
Spain Said to Own the Honor of Its

arious countries claim the
of having made the earliest
cal application of steam power; but,
judging by facts gathered
authentic sources, it was in Spain
that the movement of machinery by
steam was first brought under pub¬
lic notice. At Barcelona, in the year
Garay, T 43, a after mechanic named Biasco de
succeeded many persistent efforts,
in impressing Charles V
of Austria (Charles I of Spain)
with the value of hi s new in¬

FEW SHIP CHANDLERS LEFT.
New Method* and Sti-aniKhlp, Play Havoc
With a a Interesting Trade.
In the old days when great square
ringed ships prevailed ship chan
dlers used to he very important fac
tors in maritime business. But since
steamships have become so numer
ous and fewer sailing vessels of huge
tonnage ply the main the trade of
ship chandlery has diminished in
proportion. While many establish
ments devoted to the furnishing of
stores to ships still exist along the
East river front, the greater part of
those known in the times gone by
have bpen swallowed up in other
branches of trade.
But those of the old ship chandlery
stores that remain are very interest
Ing. The flavor of bygone years
clings to them still, and it verily
ieemsasif many of them have not
changed in aspect since the time of
their prosperity. Most of the stores
that still exist are like the London
shops that Crnikshank loved to
draw and which Dickens described.
The buildings which the ship
chandlers occupy near the water
front were in the halcyon days used
as dwelling houses by merchants,
Nearly all have sloping root's aud
are marked bv the dinginess of de
ca y- A visitor entering one of these
stores, and looking bewildered at
the endless array of almost every
article of commerce under the sun
displayed iu apparently inextricable
confusion, is bound to exclaim:
“Why there’s nothing that a man
can’t get here!”
4* Yes, we can supply anything for
a ship,” is the answer that the
chandler’s assistant is likely to
make.
Hung about the store one sees
cordage and rigging, anchors, pots,
harpoons, sailcloth, capstan bars,
hooks, blocks, hams, sausages and
soon in interminable array. 7he I
chandleries are like nothing else so
much us country stores, where all j
the needs of a community are sup- 1
plied. But custom clings close, and
as long as sailing vessels tack to
and l'ro on tbe surface of the w aters
is it likely that tho old ship chan
dlers will minister to their wants. i
The chandleries to be seen along
the water front invariably have low
ceilings dows admit and dust but little and cobweb iignr. s Vue are I
clerks of the chandlers, most of
them, eeem as old as the stores
tbemselves-men who have seen

Nor Hog Thieves.
A good many years before the
war a certain Baptist church in tho
Bluegrass had a very aristocratic
old gentleman, the owner of numer
ous slaves and many successful run¬
ning horses, as a privi ed mem her
of its congregation. Another mem¬
ber was a Mr. L., of whom it was
said and believed that bo had a way
of acquiring his neighbors’ hogs in a
very mysterious manner. Mr. L.
disliked the aristocratic Captain B.
cardinal sin of ra&tfft v A5rtws. ........
One day at church Mr. L. was giv¬
ing the congregation his views on
religion, and closed his remarks by
saying, “No man who races horses
can enter the kingdom of heaven.”

BUILDING UPON THE SAND.
'Tis well to woo, 'tis well to wed,
For so the world has done
Since myrtles grow and roses blow
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care, ye young and fair,
Be sure ye pledge with truth,
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth,
For if ye givo not heart to heart,
As well ns hand for hand,
You II find you’ve played the “unwise
part”
And ••built upon the sand.”
’Tis well to save, ’tis well to have I
A goodly store of gold
And hold enough of sterling stuff. j
For charily is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
in what tho deep mine brings.
Wc cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wt altli ulona
Will often have l« stand i
Beside liis coffer chest itnd own
'Tis "built upon the sand.”
’Tin good to speak in kindly guise
And soothe what o’er wc can,
For speech should bind the human xniod
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words.
Lot deeds with language dwell.
Tho one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as welt.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those who talk, yet tail to do,
But “build upon the sand.”
—Eliza Cook.
Four Hundred of Venice.
Tlie Venetian Four Hundred live
on tbe Lido—as the mainland near
Venice is called—iu what they cull
“huts.” They are built on the beach
and consist of two rooms and ward¬
robes. Here they come every warm
day in gondolas and sandolos, with
service and bathing suits, ad onreo
for by the “beach guards. l» The
Venetians are very domestic, and
whole families may be seen bathing
together—father, mother and chil¬
dren—all healthy and well formed,
in bright and picturesque dresses,
which add to tlie feast of color that
nature herself provides. There is a
glamour about bathing in the Adri¬
atic which affects one greatly. There
never was such soft, warm water.
It feels like warm oil. Then the
surroundings are so beautiful, with
the color of tho sea and sky, and
the red and yellow sails of the boat*,
that one feels steeped and swathed
in beauty, After the bath comes
afternoon tea, with visitors from
tbe other huts, and all the news and
gossip of the city; then a walk
along the dunes, where many wild
flowers grow, and then tho row
home in a sunset glow to which no
pen can do justice. — New York
