I { m . There is a roca known as amy- daloid, one of the _ igneous rocks, which, in some of the gigantic transformations of nature, we will say in cooling from a melted state, formed within itself cavities, from the size of a marble or head to that of a closed hand. Now, as nature abhors a vacuum, she sets to work to fill these cavities,, and in doing so she used other materials, and these combinations produced some of what we call the “precious stones of commerce.” Exactly how this was done we cannot tell, but we see some hint of the operation in every subterranean cave where sta- ' lactites and stalagmites are found. Every student knows that this is the reenlt of dropping water which stee ^ c ^ aw£: - vGy, s@it New York Ledger. An illuminated cat is among the curiosities of the patent office at "Washington, D. C. It is made of pasteboard or tin, painted over with phosphorous, and is made to frighten away “rats and mice and such small deer,” in the darkness of cellars and'garrets. Another painted cat is of shpet iron, with interior clock works and a bellows. It has poisoned steel claws and teeth,'and, when properly set, howls with such entrgy and natu ralness, bristling its tail mean while by means of the bellows, that all the pussies in the neighborhood are attracted to it, and killed if they venture too near the terrible contains carbonate of lime. The water, evaporating, leaves a minute particle of lime, which takes some thing to itself from the earth or at mosphere, and in the course of ages bodies are formed of a most remarkable character. In proba bly somewhat" the same fashion have these cavities been filled in tber igneous rocks, and then comes time and storm, and other agen cies, earthquakes, perhaps, and the rocks are rent apart, and ont drops a bead or a bowlder, and a curious man picks it up, and hammers, and breaks it, and then he puts a pol ish on it by some process, more or less advanced, and lo! be bolds in bis band an agate or an onyx. Many of the stones used in the arts have no other origin, and are de posits of silica, oxide of iron, and other coloring substances. It is the color, or arrangementof colors, that gives the name, and thus we have agate, onyx, chalce- [ dony, corneliaD, sard, ebrystalo- prase, sardonyx, and others, all members of the quartz family, and all having a family resemblance. The agate has veins of different shades of color in parallel lines. Sometimes these are very close to gether, as many as fifty to the inch, but this is unusual. When there are alternate bands of color, and a transparent medium, we have the onyx, but the latter may be obtain ed by cutting the ston e in a differ ent way. Agates are used chiefly for orna mental purposes, such as cups, Beals, rings, handles for parasols, table and mantel ornaments, bnt the material is so bard that it can only be worked by those who have practiced skill. The onyx was valued by the. an cients for its application to cameos and intaglios—the first an object in relief, the latter a “cut-in” pro cess, and these objects are still made. Nature produces some very strange forms,, occasionally, and agates are found with exact resem blance of moss and other natural objects and figures, which are very curious, and often very valuable. Was the cat, as the fireside pet, known to the ancients? If it was, was it as the domestic animal fa miliar to ourselves, or was it sim ply a domestic savage, like the monkey or the gazelle? Professor Yirehow inclines to the latter opin ion. Having examined the mum mies of the Egyptian cats, he found they had nothing in common with our feline friend. The cats of an tiquity, according to other archse- ologists, were slenderer than ours, aud approached the. weasel in ap pearance. But Signor Saglio, the distinguished Italian scholar,^read the other day, before the Academy of Inscriptions, at Paris, a memoir on the subject, in which -he holds a contrary opinion to that of Vir chow. The cat was in ancient times, he maintains, the identical domestic animal known- in modern Europe. On Etruscan tombs he bap found paintings which repre sent the cat as a regular inmate of the house of the deceased, one of these pictures showing a company at dinner and the cat toying under the table with bones of chicken or partridge. ■The Latest in Hosiery. There’s The Dinner Bell! e&H What a clattering and chatter ing as the children answer the din ner bell and rush into the dining room. Oh! the gratification a good appetite affords as our noon day’s meal is set before as. Bnt this vacant chair, what does it mean? “Oh, that’s Uncle Charley’s chair. Guess he don’t feel like eating,he’s got dyspepsia, you know.” Dys pepsia! Horrors! Deliver us from dyspepsia. What’s the use of be ing plagued with such an ailment anyway? What’s the use having a stomach so irritated and sore that even one bite of food gives it dis tress? Why not heal the soreness and allay the irritation, and strengthen its muscular processes, by Using Botanic Blood Balm. Will, it cure? It certainly will. Many, many a former dyspeptic owes his enjoyment of life to B. B. B.' Give it a trial. S. J. Chandler, Richmond, Va., writes: “No one can afford to be without B. B. B. who wishes an appetite. I could scarcely eat a single buscnit for breakfast, bnt since tairing B. B. B. I clean the whole table, so to speak.” Cornelius Vanderbilt pays taxes only $200,000 worth of personal property. He is worth nearly $100,000,000. Jay Gould pays on only $500,000. He is worth more than $50,000,000 in bonds and se curities alone. Yet there are thou sands of people in the country who would be only too happy to pay the full tax rate on such a sum. There never was a remedy that gave so good satisfaction always as Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroyers. Phy sicians recommend them. Chemnitz Letter in Dry Goods Economist. A new device which will be of interest to dealers of hosiery in the United States, has been recently patented in several European coun tries; and an application for a pat ent is on file in the American pat ent office. Said device consists of a combination stocking and garter, made by running a rubber elastic band through e welt at the top of the stocking. The ends of the elastic appear outside of the welt, and may be ar ranged to fasten with a button or a fancy clasp similar to those used on kid gloves. The elastic can be drawn out and inserted at will, al though the necessity of taking it out does not appear, as it is said that the best rubber will satisfac torily stand the washing process. When the elastic is in place the general appearance of the stocking is not changed, as the fastening, unless metallic, will be of the same color as the stocking. Sandalwood glove boxes have again appeared. j - We are to have silks skirts again, ruffled to the waist with lace flounces. Easbion repeats herself aud the old handcuff gold bracelet is back again. Colored linen embroidered in seaweed patterns is used for cover ing pillows. Bonnets and bats of two kinds of straw, open and close, bid fair to be popular. Long lace scarfs are selling again for sashes, shoulder scarfs, evening hoods, etc. Turin is the first Italian city which can boast of a library in tended exclusively for women. ■The handsomest “robe” dresses of the season show lace effects un der applique embroidery. Gauze parasols are laid in accor dion plaits and trimmed with ro settes of the same silky material. Lovers of tinsel will have beads and embroideries for garnishing their raiments next winter.
