; S m m Remarkable Englneeeing Feats. It is a remarkable fact that nothing surpasses in modern ‘engineering the pyramids of Gliizeh, built more than 5,000 years ago. It is universally ac knowledged by the highest profes sional authorities on architecture and building that the masonry of the pyra mids could not be surpassed in these aiH and, morever, is perfect for the purpose for which they were intended, above all, to endure. After the build ing of pyramids was commenced it was the fashion for about ten centuries to build huge, meaningless, pointed piles of masonry. Of the hundreds erected, abour 70 have resisted the ravages of ages and may still be seen. Many of those remaining contain enormous blocks of granite, from 30 to 50 feet long and wieighing from 300 to 500 tons, and display the most consummate ingenuity in their construction. A more difficult operation than the mere transportion of immense stones —that of erecting obelisks weighing 400 tons—was performed with precis ion by the Egyptians 300 years before the time of Christ. Of the ancient method of raising immense stones, nothing is now known—it is one of the many lost arts. The ancient Peru vians had a method of transporting immense blocks of stone that would be a fortune to the modern engineer, did he possess it. The Romans were also eminent engineers, and, by some au Ihorities, are set down as exceeding even the Egyptians in this direction. Immense stones were used in the con slruction of the temple of Baalbec. One lies ready quarried, 70 feet' long and 14 feet square, and weighs 1,135 tors.

The Spirit of the South, published at New Orleans, La., announces that {n about three weeks it will establish a Whist Department under the editor ship of N. B, Trist, Esq., the origina tor of the “American T.cads” and the highest authority on the game in the United States if not in the world. Mr. Trist will begin at tho beginning and explain the game in its elemen tary principles; gradually increasing the scope of bis lesssons until they embrace the whole subject of the science of whist. His articles will be elaborately illustrated by means of • card type, showing all the hands around the board and how to ploy each in their turn. Mr. Trist will also conduct a correspondence column in which he will answer questions as to knotty points in the game, occur- ing in actual play. The best way to profit by these lessons will be by forming club3 of four and discussing the points of each lesson and putting them into imme diate practice, but tho system of in struction will be 60 easy and simple and so thoroughly illustrated that any one can learn it without any other assistance. Whist is the most facinating and scientific of all games of cards, and in fact a knowledge of the game is al most a badge of gentility among card players. It is the favorite game with the English clergy, and it is univer sally popular among ladies, albeit a cynical writer has observed that no woman can learn to play whist, be cause it requires the faculty of silence. In the large cities teachers of whist are in great demand and earn large incomes. Imported from the Mineral Springs on the Rhine, Ger many, on draught at Too Much for Science. ., ? I don’t know much about dying , for anybody, though I believe that a fellow wouldn’t mind taking over his sweethearts toothache or headache for a time. He might stand a bad cold or a few doses of quinine for the sake of his love, but I doubt if the ordinary kind of love would stand . much more or even os much repeat ed several times. “Darling, aroyou ill?” “Oh, my tooth aches so,” “Let me kin it away.” •‘There. You’ve got it.” "Give me my hat. I’ll go down to the dentist and have the tooth out.” That would be a very convenient plan for the girls, but I fear science will never discover anything so simple and satisfactory.—San Francisco Chronicle.
