They tremble gently o’er us,
And waver with the breeze
To (hitter fair before us—
But If we think to seize
Those bits of lightness, floating
Elusive, fairy wise,
Beneath our fingers darting
They quiver toward the aides.
They sail along serenely,
And then, Uko tricksy elves.
Dart swift aside, and meanly
Evado our longing selves.
And if perchance wo win them
Tho touch must subtle be
Which holds the grace within them.
Yet lets them poise as free.
Such are those rare creations
With fleeting beauty fraught.
Our airy inspirations,
Tho thistledowns of thought.

The Howie Knife.
Much has been said and written re
garding the origin of tho bowio knife.
Tho fact is that Rezin P. Bowio, not
James, conceived tho idea of tho knife.
The invention was the result of an acci
dent. Col. Rezin P. Bowio was a planter
in Opelousas, La. Whilo hunting wild
cattlo ho attacked a young steer, which
in throwing up its head struck his hunt
ing knifo in such a way as to knock it
through his hand, making an ugly cut
between the thumb and tho forefinger.
On returning from the hunt ho repaired
to the blacksmith shop on his plantation,
determined to have a knifo which would
be a protection against such accidents.
Picking up an old filo ho ordered tho
blacksmith to make a knife of it having
a cross piece betwixt hilt nnd blade, so
that it would bo impossiblo to bo entire
ly driven through a man’s hand. In
this way did. tho bowie knife originate,
and it was never intended for other than
a hunting knife; but James Bowie im
proved the original weapon, and brought
his own knife so prominently into notice
by the use he made of it in personal en
counters that the improved weapon be
came known ns the bowio knife.—New
York Ledger.
Th« Oldest Vessel Afloat.
Tho oldest sailing vessel afloat!
Wliat must who look like and what is
her history? She is 110 years old, bailt
in Baltimore in 1780. Her name is the
Vigilant Sho lias since then been a
coaster, a peaceful common carrier of
merchandise, a slaver and a pirate, and
now today she does good service as mail
carrier between St. Thomas and Santa
Cruz, in tho West India Islands. Her
owner, Mr. S. l'enthnny, of Santa Crux,
was in Bangor and displayed a picture
of the old craft which was token os tike
vessel was rounding a coral reef under
foil sail. Tho picture is a good one and
the lines of the croft are well brought
oat.
“How much of the original craft is
there now?” naked the reporter.
“The keelson and main tribntors of
the hull which are laid in the construc
tion other nre still there,” said Mr. Pcn-
thany, “and they aro good for many
years to come.”
What a story would the history of this
old craft make!—Bangor News.
An Illuminated Fountain.
The apparatus employed in theelectrio
fountain in Lincoln park, Chicago, is
qnilo simple. A number of aro lamps

in a vault or cavern beneath the fountain.
As Agonizing Adventure in a Gold BUM
Shaft That Scared Two lies*.
About as tight a ploco as I ever got
into, said a Comstock miner, was some
years ago at theold Empire shaft, Gold
Hill. Myself and another man were
down in tho shaft for the purpose of
trimming it up, ns the swelling ground
was squeezing the sides and it was a
good deal out of shape.
We were not on a cage, but simply on
a platform of planks, with ropes going
up from tho corners to the main cable,
which was of hemp. When we reached
a tight place in the shaft wo stopped and
trimmed out tho guides, then went on
till another such place was reached.
Atone point, having given the signal
to lower, we went down some distance,
when we finally stack. We reached for
the Ik-11 rope to give the signal to stop,
but wo found that it had wound round a
nail some distance above, and we conld
not use it. Tho engineer knew nothing
of oar trouble, and continued to lRver
away. There was no station uoar, and
on all sides roso tho smooth walls of the
shaft, leaving ns suspended over tho
horrible chasm.
Down upon us came tho heavy cable.
We feared every moment that tho plat
form would torn over or would be press
ed through the tight place aad drop from
under us. All wo could do was to get
hold of the eablo and keep the coils of it
under oar feet ns it came down. Should
the platform turn over or drop from un
der us wo might be able to save our lives
by hanging on to the cable.
We shouted np the shaft till wo were
hoarse, but no one heard our cries, and
steadily down yumo tho cable, cuusing
us great troublo to keep on top of its
coils. We felt that tho great weight
must soon start the platform, when both
would most likely be hurled to tho bot
tom of tho shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For a long timo wo
waited in suspense, not knowing what
would he tho next move of those above.
At last, however, we beard the voice of
i man shouting down to us from tbs
nearest station above. We explained
our jierilous position in a few words,
and at length the great cable began to
crawl slowly up the shaft again. Still,
being afraid the platform would give
way, we were obliged to keep bold of
tho ljoro and dance about on tho coils as
they unwound.
It was a tedious business, and was all
the time the matter of the toss of a cent
whether wo got out alivo or went to the
bottom; lint at last the platform tight
ened up under us and we began to as
cend. Onr work was over then and we
felt safe. On arrival at the surface we
found that the engineer bad concluded
that we were going too far, and halting
or stopping his engine had sent a man
down to the station to find out if any
thing bad gone wrong.
I may have been in more dangerous
places in tho mines, but was never in a
place where the danger lasted so long,
and all the timo up to fever beat. It
was too long a timo for any man’s hail
to stand on end.—Now York World.

Xf«l of Pure Air.
In public lialls nnd vcliicles the oppres
sion of foal air is insapportablo and
amounts to direct poisoning of tho-en-
feebled organ. A heart seriously weak
ened, if kept in pure, warm air, fed with
delicate, nourishing food and kept from
fatigue and mental strain, will regain
strength ns naturally os we get rest from
sleep. It 1ms great recuperative powers.
Bat a half hoar in the mephitic air of a
traveling enr or a public ball does more
to make recovery impossible than almost
any other causo mentionable. This is a
matter which more than ever deserves
to be pressed upon tho attention of rail
way companies, to whom the mass of our
people must trust their lives and health
forashare of their days quite long cnongh
to injure both.
Tho risk of accident by train is not hall
so great os the certainty of imbibing
"virulent poison from ono to two houra
daily in unvcntilatod cars. A sanitary
commission is needed to set the strict, un
biased facts of the matter before railway
managers.—Shirley Dare in New York
Herald.
Training the Eye.
Another exercise consists in moving
about in curves a goblet filled to within
an eighth of aq inch of the top with wa
ter. Grasp the goblet by tho stem and
describe figures with the hand and arm
very slowly. The eye becomes fixed
upon the goblet, and the mind is inter
ested and concentrated. Where there is
lack of mental and nerve poise there is a
corresponding absence of poise in the
eye, and any practice, no matter how
simple it may seem, which fixes the at
tention of the eye has an effect upon
the mind and nerves.—Mabel Jennees’in
Jenneas-Miller Magazine.
