race of. people called gentlemen
lovers of music tell mo I must be
very careful in supplying two va
cancies, which I have been two years
ondeavoring to do. For you are to
understand that in disposing these
musical employments I determine to
act directly contrary to ministers
of state, by giving them to thqpe
who best deserve. If you had rec
ommended a person to mo for a
church living in my gift, I would bo
less curious, because an indifTeront
person may do well enough, if he bo
honest, but singors, like their broth

they aro good for nothing.” The

Ancient Wonhlp of Animal*.
The figures of the gods in ancient
Egypt were represented on the monu
tnents for ages in animal form. The
'hi
organization of the local population
ch city hud
eft
ran on totem lines. Eocl
different boast gods. In the royal
genealogies, beasts are named os an
castors, showing that the early
Egyptians actually considered thorn-
eelvoa descendants of animals. The
primitive elomont in the early Orook
religion has boon preserved in the
“sacred chapters," fragments of
Which have been given us by Ho
rodotus, Puusanios and otliors—prov
ing that the oldest images of tho' have respected such nondescripts as
Grecian gods were represented in
animal form, and that the different
royal houses claimed descent from
animals, as do tho Bavages of Amorica
and Australia.
Mr. J. McLennan, in his papors on
“The Worship of Plants and Ani
mals," calls our attention to many
evidences that the early Romans os
well as the Greeks worshiped totems.

Transparent glass bricks have on ooca-

a window would interfere with the

posed to cost glass, not necessarily
transparent, into large blocks for build
ings. This material is practicably lnde-
structiblo, perfectly nonabsorbent, and
therefore dampproot in a manner which
few bricks are, and in this way ooarie
glass of this kind could be mode nearly

A Dywnmll* Fire la Allnaln I.n.l night.
Special to the IIKRA 1.0.
Atlanta, Feb, 10.—G. M. Howell’s
tailoring establishment, No. 15 East
'Hunter street, was completely de
stroyed by fire last night. That It
was done by dynamite there seems to
be no question, hut, by whom, and for
what motive, It was done does not so
plainly appear. Two weeks ago an
effort was made to destroy Hie build
ing by some one, a can of kerosense
having been placed in the rear nml
connected with n fuse which was
placed with one end on the outside.
The explosion shook the vicinity like
an earthquake. People in the Kiser
building Bay its windows rattled;
prisoners in the police station received
n good shaking up. Officers were sent
’ to Howell’s home where they made
searoh of the premises. They found
seven new pairs of pants, several,coats
And three fine rugs, which are thought
, to be the same that were used in bis
: office.

Ancient Cures*
The Incantations of Apulcis ore
tense and soberness compared with
thoso of his Christian successor,
Morcellns (A. D. 480). “If a man’s
nose bleeds whisper in his ear on tho
same side, ‘socsocam skyma’ thrice
nine times, and you may still go on
saying it." Tootliac’.fb, if it occurs
on a Tuesday or Thursday and if
the moon is waning, maybe cured by
repeating seven times “nrgidum
margidum stargidum." Even liis
prayers compare unfavorably with
those of Apuleis: "In ophthalmia
look out for the first swallow, then
run silently to the nearest spring,
wash your oyes and pray God that
you may be free from it for that
year, and that all tho pain may puss
into ‘
the swallow."
The whole book is fulFof similar
absurdities, which ho defends by the
invariable empiric argument that pa
tients have got well after practicing
them.
We must not, however, supposo
that this superstition wus in any way
favored by Christianity. It was in.
deed a Christian bishop who intro
duced the disastrous doctrine that
tho signs of the zodiac presido over
the vurious organs of the human
body, but the church disapproved
both of the science and the theology
of Priscillian, and he was executed
as a magician and heretic A. D. 385.

Many circumstances combine to
make Farragut’s engagements note
worthy. All three were battles of
ships ogaiust forts and under the
most embarrassiug conditions of nar
row channel and adverse current,
heightened at length by the first ef
fective employment of torpodoes in
war. They marked the termination
of the era of wooden walls, east
iron guns and smooth lioros. Tho
little ironclnds did not have the en
tire approval of the udmiral. It was
hardly to he oxpoctod tliat ho should
the monitors very highly, and he
fought his battles from tho old stand
point of strong offonse rather than
of safe defense.
He was the last of tho old school
commanders to fight an old stylo bat
tle, and a long Uno of gallant cap
tains are worthily closed in him,
prejudices marked his action. Ho
took his modern ships past tlio bat
teries of Now Orleans and Port Hud
son because he had settled in his own
mind tliat under existing old condi
tions ships hod a good chance against
forts, but ho waited months before
attacking Mobilo in order to lot the

Cork Soletl 8ho*a.
The popularity of cork soled shoes
is on the increase, aqd the so called
cork is being manufactured in largo
quantities, the suhstauce being pro
duced in long rolls and lengths, and
Sold thus to the trade. The only
peculiarity about the fashion is why
the materiaUs called cork. Certain
ly it is far more valuable for its pur-
ribly
than cork itself could possibly
and this is one of the cases in
whioh the imitation is for superior to
the original. Some new and more
appropriate name is euro to be adopt
ed before long, but not until tho de
mand for cork soled shoes, so called,
decreases. The shoes of this type
were In great demand, even when
they were both costly and clumsy,
and the avoidance of both these
drawbacks has paved the way for an
apparently long lived career of pop
ularity. Every ono who wears them
has his own reasons for so doing,
some thinking they increase the tem
perature of the feet and Borne hold
ing exaotly the contrary, hut the
fashion has been/ established, and
that is practically all that is neces
sary.—Exclmugo.
A Monstrous Rolilor.
Mygalo avicularin is a monstrous
spider, with a body two inches long
and legs, whon expanded, reaching
tosovou, who kills small birds and
hangs thorn up in a larder of thick
web for future uso. This robber car
ries on liik’ murderous trado with
cunning doxtority, for which the poor
finches are no match. His huge
brownish body being thickly covered
with coarse gray hairs and exactly
matching in color the trunk of. the
tree, in somo rough crevice of which
ho lurks unseen, ho is rc«ly to pounce
out at a moment’s notioe upon his
hapless prey when once entangled in
tho fatal web.
Another monster of the same genus,
"five inches in expanse,” of a brown
tint with yellowish linos on his thick
hairy legs, is equally rapacious; hut,
carrying on his depredations only at
the door of his don in the brown
earth, needs no protecting color, as
ho comes out only at night when all
about him is in shadow.—Nineteenth
Century. ^

“There Is a qneer/)lil preacher down
In my country.” said a native born Mary
lander to n party of friends in the Man
hattan clnbone evening last week. The
man bad jnst returned from a visit to
his old home after a long absence and
was amusing the company with anec
dotes.
-•He is abont seventy years old.” con
tinued the speaker, “and ho has had
little or no education and ia utterly in

lievos every word, leitor and punctua

his method of teaching his flock is to

A Typical Mississippi Steamboat.
The City of Providence waa ono of n
long line of Mississippi boats edging the
broad, clean, eloping levee that fronts
busy St. Louis. She was by far the
largest and hundsomost of the packets,
but all are of one type, and tliat is
worth doscriblug. They aro, so far as 1
romomber, all paiuted white, and are
very’broad and low. Each carries two
tall black funnels, capped ^ Ith a bulging
ornamental top, and enrrying on rods
swung between tho funnels tho trade
mark of the company cut out of sheet
Iron, un unchor or un initial letter, u
fox or a swan, or whatever.
There are throe or four stories to these
boats—first the open main deck for
froight and for the boilers and engines,
then the walled in saloon deok, with a
row of windows and doors cut alternately
closo boride ono another and with pro-
fuso ornamentation by moans of jig saw
work whorovor it enn bo put, and last
of all tho “Texas," or officers’ quortors,
and tho “bureau,” or negro passengers'
cabin, forming the third story.
Most of the large boats have the big
squaro pilot houso on top of the "Texas,"
but others carry it as part of the third
story in front of the "Texas.” Tho pilot
house is always made to look graceful
by means of an upper fringe of jigsaw
ornament, and usually carries s deer's
head or pair of antlers in hunt of it.—

Tha Drawbridge Keeper's Heroism.
Drecker, while stationed at his post
of duty at the drawbridge above the
Passaic river, heard the whistle of an
approaching express train. In his
haste to close tho draw, which he had
opened fora passing ship, he knocked
his six-year-old boy into the river.
Whatshouldhedo? Save his only boy
or the trainload of passengers rushing
toward the open chasm? What men
tal agony was involved in the choice I
Nothing hut n high sense of moral
duty and with quick action could
save the passengers. As the child
sank from his view Drecker swung
tho heavy draw into place and then
only did he spring into the river after
his child. It was too late, but a train
crowded with pnssongers whirled
past in safety and ignorant of the
gatekeeper’s heroism. This seems to
me the bravest act I ever personally
knew.—Cor. Now York Press.
Shearing Camels In China.
Camel's wool, used for padding
clothes, is an article of considerable
trafflo in North China, and whon
spring zephyrs tako tho plnce of win
ter blasts the herdsmen of the pla
teau shear their camels by a process
which preserves the merit of extreme
simplidty, pulling out by hand what
ever has not been shed naturally.
Many animals are kept for the sole
purpose of yielding wool, but the
amount obtainable from each is
singularly disproportioned to the
huge bulk of its producer. A heavy
fleece taken from a full grown camel
will seldom average over seven
pounds, whilo $8 is a high price for

Tb* Shape of Ih* Shoe.
Onr Puritan fathers wore shoes mod
erately peaked. About 1680 square foes
made their appearance. In the reign of
Mary, who died In 1688, there was a
proclamation issued tlrnt no person
should wear shoes over two inches wide
at the toes. Square toes began to lose
favor in 1757. In our newspapers from
1716 tq 1785 round toes became more
common, and peaked once less, accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1787 shoe toes continued in a smuli pro
portion uud became mostly pointed,

Tho Jownls of a Hulnt.
Tlio idea of wuietity usually carries
with it a suggestion of poverty, and it
may seem a contradiction to refer to the
jewels of u saint. It has been customary
for painters who choose for their sub
jects saints or martyrs to troat them
with tho utmost simplicity. In a ma
jority of cases they are depicted as de
void of ornament or decoration, and in
the few exceptional instances, as when
the subject of tho picture is a ruler or
king, tho gems are fow and purely sym
bolic, being sufiicient only to denote the
rank of the individual portrayed.
Raphael, who was perhaps the great
est painter of religious subjects tho world
has known, has in most of liis works ad
hered strictly to this rule, but in tho
head of “St. Cecilia*' is to be noticed a de
parture from it. A row of pearls, to which
are attached throe pendants, ornaments
her gowu at the neck, and this is her
only, jewelry. The hair is simply ar
ranged and without a jewel of any kind.
The single row of gems, themselves the
emblems of chastity, emphasizes the ex
quisite simplicity of the face.—Jewelers’
