IHE GOOBSaVd:I?ghtEPREPAiD THE HEROINES OF TONKIN. A Splendid Temple to Two Girls Who Won Enduring Fame. A little ontsicle of the city of Hanoi, in Tonkin, is a remarkably handsome pagoda in which live twenty women. They seldom leave their chosen home, and they subsist upon the contributions of visitors and upon some small revenue which the temple receives from the Gov eminent. Some of them are young and pretty, aud in intelligence and attain men s they are all above the common pe >ple. They are recluses, and their mission is to perform the work of the temple and to keep a light constantly burning before the life size sta ues of two young women whose patriotic her oism is thus honored, aud the memory of their achievements aud martyrdom for their conn rv kept alive in the hea 1 ts of the people, though they lived nearly nineteen centuries ago. Their career Arc. greatly resemb ed that of Joan of In the year 80 of the present era, Tonkin was suffering under the oppres sive rule of China, who had driven her legitimate kings from the throne. Ton kin was a Chinese provim-e, ruled by Chinese functionaries, and the people groaned under a heavy yoke. Two young sisters of noble family, named Chin Se and Chin Eul, took advan tage stir of the widespread Remarkable discontent to up a revolt. tor their energy and bravery, and splendid greatly admired for their beauty and horsemanship, they placed themselves at the head of a volunteer army, and drove the foreigners pell mell out of Tonkin. For a time Tonkin was again idol her own master, the sisters were ized, and the people received them with acclamations and gratitude. The news traveled to Pekin of the disgrace two women had inflicted upon the Chinese arms, and the Emperor Koang J i sent a great army under one of his most famous soldiers to teach Ton kin and her female generals a terrible lesson. When the army reached Tonkin the sisters and their warrior- met the Chinese host on the frontier, and corn tested the ground step valor. by The step, decis- p er forming prodigies of ive battle finally took place on the out skirts of the capital. The Tonkinese at first had the best of the fight, but in the crisis of the battle some of their goner als passed over to tiie enemv.

The rubber tip at the end of lead pen cils has yielded $100,000 in England. A large who fortune has been reaped by a miner invented a metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat or trousers pockets to resist the strain caused by the oarriage of pieces of ore I ! or heavy tools. In a recent legal action it transpired in evidence that the inventor of the i metal plates used to protect soles and heels from wear sold upward of 12,000, 000 plates in 1879, and in 1887 the number reached 148,000,000, producing realized profits of £1,250,000. As large a sum as was ever obtained for any invention was enjoyed by the inventor of the inverted g ass bell to hang over gas to protect ceilings from being blackened, and a scarcely less lucrative patent was that for simply putting emery powder on cloth. Frequently time and circumstances I are wanted before an invention is appre ciated; but it will be seen that patienre is we 1 rewarded, for the inventor of the roller skate made over $1,000,000, not withstand ng the fact that his patent had nearly exp red before its value was ascertained. The gim e:-pointed screw has pro duced more wealth than most silver pines, and the Ameri au who first j ! thought of putting copper tips to chil (Iren’s shoes is ns well off as if his father had left him $2,000,000 in United States j bonds. Upward of $10,000 a year was made by the inventor of the common needle threader. To the foregoing might be added thousands of trifling but useful articles from which handsome incomes are derived or for which large soms have been paid. tietfer than Few inventions pay popu lar painted toys. A clergyman realized $2,000 a week by the invention of a strange little plaything to be semi for a long time in every toy-shop wii«d >w and even in the streets of London. That favorite American toy, a “return ball”—a wooden ball with au elastic attached—yielded $50,000 the patentee and an m come epial to $75,00 a year, an ncome of no less than 1 per an num to the inventor of the ‘Manning Jem Crow.” The invention of “I’har aoh’s serpents,” a toy much m vogue some years ago, was the outcome of some chemical experiments, and brought the inventor more than $50,090. The sa’e of the little wooden figure, “John Gilpin,” was incredibly large many years, and a very ingenious toy, known as the “wheel of life, is Midl to have produced upward ot $.>00,000 profits to its inventor, One of the most successful of modern toys lias beeu the “chameleon top, the sale of which has been enormous. l>io field of invention is not only vast and varied, but it is favor open of to everybody kind to without respect or any sex or age, station or means.

The barber formerly was a surgeon as t .|| as a barber, inasmuch as he practised |q oot pietting. The pole was used by the barber- surgeon for the patient to grasp while his blood was let; aud a fillet oi bandage was used for tying the arm. When the pole was not in use, the tap was twisted around it, and it was hung out as a sign. Afterward, instead ol hanging out the actual pole used in operating, a pole w painted[with strip* around it in mutation of the real pok and its bandages; hence the barber’s pole.— Lippinrott.
