Some Familiar Quotations.
“Alliteratore’s artful aid” was
spoken of by the little read poet
Churchill. “The pink of perfec
tion” was originated by Oliver Gold
smith; so were ‘Measures, not
men," and “Man wants but little
here below, nor wi nts that little
long.” Gray, the author of the
“Elegy,” is responsible for many
popular phrases, am mg them “Full
many a gem of purs st ray serene,”
“To waste its sweetr ess on the des
ert air,” “This .pleasing, anxious be
ing,” “The paths of i glory lead but
to the grave” and “Where igno
rance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.”
Dr. Johnson gave usl “Who lives to
please must please tol live.” He also
said, “Who drives fait oxen should
himself he fat,” in jwhich there is
more sound than sen$e.
The Silk Spinning Oyster.
A mollusk that might take an
important place in tektile industries
if it existed in sufficient numbers is
found in warm seas] especially on
the coast of Sicily. It is the pinna,
a genus of wing shellled bivalves, of
which one species atjtains a length
of two feet. To attach itself to the
rocks it spins a cable ■ of strong fila
ments, called collectively the bys-
Bus. These threads a re wonderfully
strong, silken in tex ;ure and have
been woven into va rious delicate
fabrics. A pair of gl< jves from this
material may be seen in the British
museum, and fine mummy cloths
made from it by tho ancients
