One of my companions, having mads a bargain with the smith, handed him throe English florins which he desired to have manufactured into one bangle of the choicest East Indian design and workmansLv. Tho coolie man heated the coins, cut . m into narrow ends pieces, of which he w led the together, using ha; me. ..nd anvil, thus making and, a bar f« .r or live inches long, as I renu uber, two or three Lines in width and thickness. Covering on* end of this strip of metal with damp clay, to protect liis fingers from, the heat, the bangle maker stuck the silver into the diminutive charcoal fire, which he set aglow by blowing through a tube similar in appearance to a glass blower’s pipe. When tho metal was at a dull red heat ho beat it soundly, forging it round and smooth to the diameter of telegraph circle, wire; then, carefully bor/!. g it in a joined the two ... vvelding them to¬ gether neatly and \. ith dispatch. This done, and the joint having been covered with a rough mass of hot silver fashioned into a ball of the size of a small cherry, tho Hindu held out the half finished trinket for our inspection and approval. Ho next smoothed and polished the sur¬ face of the ball by hammering; then ho graved and stamped it with various dies, cutting simple, conventional patterns of irregular desip lected silver Next, havii a small serpent from ;. 1 assortment of ready made devices and charms which he kept In a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into the fire, and blew through his blowpipe until the cobra became blood red. Pinch¬ ing the reptile’s tail between two bits of moist clay, the Hindu drew it from the fire, and, before it lost its angry hue, deftly corkscrewed tho emblem of im¬ mortality around tho wire of the bangle- in four complete coils, all the time tap¬ ping the snake hero and there gently with his mallet, in this way fastening it securely in its place. Plunging the oma- laent into a calabash of cocoanut oil, lie waited till the serpent ceased hissing, and tho Indian bracelet was then ready to bo clasped cn the wrist of whomso¬ ever gallant gentleman had in his mind when he found it in his heart to give the order for it.—William Agnew Paton, Big Sheila in Mindanao. We got a promising view from our window into a yard below, where a dozen pairs of immense bivalve Bhells fTridacna gigas) lay hi tho sun. A careful meas¬ urement of tho largest pair showed three feet and five inches In length and two feet five inches across the valves. They must have weighed toward 200 pounds shell. each, or 400 pounds for a single good We found a single valve made a load for two men. The Spanish naval officers, who seem, like other seafaring people, to be given to telling large yarns, tell of one off the south coast of Mindanao which has long been noted for its great size, and that tho officers of the steam frigate Salamanca once planned to take it home as a present to Queen Isabella. They steamed down the coast until they found the shell, dropped their strongest hawser around it and put on all the steam, but after somo time found that instead of raising the shell the steamer was gradually sinking, being drawn under by the immenso weight. $o they cut the hawser and left the shell in its bed, where they declare it may yet be seen. Tho smaller species are found In the mud at low tide. Their toothed valves lie gaping apart, and must be traps ready set for any inquisito monkey who may pass their way. Tho larger ones are found in deeper water, and there aro stories of divers after pearl oys¬ ters being caught in their immense jaws and held to their death.—American Nat¬ uralist. Experience In Dreams. There are some very remarkable tlungi about dreams. In the first place they are twice as real as reality. Did you ever fall down stairs in dreams? If you have, you must have observed that it is a much more terrible experience than falling down stairs when you are awake —except that you don’t have the bruises to nurse afterward. But tho mental exjierience of falling down stairs in a dream is some¬ thing awful.—Cleveland Leader. =GRIFFIN JD T3EGIN8 THE 413T SESSION ON SEP- t ember 3rd "Full course in LANGUAGES.
