(Cards out,) Barker’s drug store Electricity, The electrical properties of amber were known to the Greeks before the Christian era. Electricity takes its name from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert in 1600 was the first to employ the terms “clectric force” and “electric attractions.” 1In 1748 Franklin’s elec- trical researches had progressed so far that he killed a turkey by the electric spark and roasted it by an electric jack before a fire kindled by the elec- tric bottle, and in 1752 by meuns of the kite experiment he demonstrated the identity of electricity and lightning. The first magneto-electric machine was made at Paris' by Pixii in 1832; the first telegraph line in the United States was set up between Washington and Baltimore in 1844; the first sub- marine cable was laid between Eng- land and France in 1850. As early as 1802 Sir Humphry Davy produced an electric light with carbon points on al- most the same principle as that now employed. The first electric railway on the continent of Europe was built by Siewens at Berlin in 1881, the first in England was constructed in 1882, and in America the first electric lme was built in 1885. Royal Roads. People will discover at last that roy- l roads to anything can no more be laid in iron than they can in dust; that there arve, in fact, no royal roads to anywhere worth going to; that if there were it ‘would that instant cease to be worth going to—I mean so far as the things to be obtained are in any way estimable in terms of price, for there are two classes of precious things in the world--those that God gives us for nothing—sup, air and life, both. mortal life and immortal, and the secondarily precious things which he gives us for a price, 'fhese secondarily precious [ things, worldly wine and milk, can only Dbe bought for definite money. They never can be cheapened. No cheating nor bargaining will' ever get a single thing out of nature’s establish- ment at half price. Do we want to be strong? We must work. To be hun- gry? We must starve. To be happy? We must De kind. To be wise? We must look and think.—Ruskin. When the State Fixed Hotel Prices. Before, during and for a time after the Revolutionary war the courts of the commonwealth used to fix the prices of tavern board and liguor, so when the sojourning stranger fromn afar struck Richmond he could pretiy nearly know what “horse feed and breakfast” cost. There was also an assize of bread as well as of drink. The price of bread was regulated by the price of wheat. A fourpenny white loaf; a twopenny white loaf, a four- penny brick loaf and a fourpenny brown loaf had each to weigh so much, according as they had other ingredi- ents mixed with flour. In those days a “Boston biscuit” costing 1 cent had to weigh six ounces and two drams and so on. The connection between a loaf of bread' and sixty pounds of wheat at so much per bushel has grown heyond the-grasp of the modern mind. However, in the old time in Virginfa the custom of regulating the price, or, rather, the weight, of a loaf of ‘bread by the price of the wheat of which it was made was universal. So far as liquor was concerned, the courts used to fix not only the price of a sin- le drink, a quart or a gdllon of the = Aeair of Coauters, ‘A man with a curious fondness for skullcaps was the Abbe de ‘who, in the seventeenth century, made |° himself ridiculous by his vagaries. He always wore nine of these articles to keep off the cold and, furthermore, nine pairs of stockings. His mode of pass- ing the night was: more remarkable still. He caused to be constructed for himself a bed of ricks, beneath which was a furnace, so arranged that he ecould regulate It to the degree of ‘warmth he might require, and his bed 'was fitted with only a very small open- Ing, through which the abbe.used to creep when he retired to rest at night. Even more ludicroug was the con- trivance which the great French mathe- matician, Fourler, designed and used for the protection of his health. He in- cased himself In a species of box, the interior of which, by some mechanical means, was kept at the only tempera- ture at which he felt he could live with- out inconvenience. While enveloped in this clumsy affair he was necessarily confined to one spot, but he provided means for the freedom of his head and hands. Even the ills of asthma and rheumatism, one would have thought, ‘were preferable to existence under such circumstances as this. but the French mathematician, we must believe, was of a different opinion.—London Stand- ard. Arrow Shields, The other day I saw a little, modern book, in a green cover, on a table in a drawiog rcom. 1 picked it up. It was about the early I'rench in Canada. and my eyc fell on a copy of a draw: Ing by their leader, Champlin, or Cham plain. The scene represeénted was ‘an attack by the nalive. allies of the French, the Algonquins, on a fort held by Iroquois. The Aigonquins advanced through showers of arrows under shields mearly ax fali as themselves. like doors with roundea tops. Now, you may see exactly the same sort of shields in a pictore of a lion hunt, In- laid in gold and stlver, on the pronze blade of a dagger found by Dr. Schilie- mann in “the grave of Agamemnon.” Ihese monstrous Mycenaean shields cause much diseussicn among the learn- ed. Why were they so huge? The Al gonquins used the very same shields, bung from their necks, and the reason was the same—their battles were bat- tles of archers, and nobody can parry a shower of arrows ‘with a smaller shield. Shields grew small in Greece as bow and arrow went out and sword and spear came in.—London Illustrat: ed News. The Flddle Drin, The “fiddle drill” is one of the oldest stonecutting tools in éxistence. It is said to antedate Greek sculpture and Is in use today in about the same form a8 It was 2,000 years ago. As its name implies, Its action resembles a fiddle. The drill is of two plet:es In one hand a carver holds the drly stock, which is like a carpenter’s brage, except that It 18 straight iustead of‘having a crank. In the other hand he holds the “bow,” which Is strung with a brass wire and which is given a turn around the drill stock. To use the drill the carver places the drill stock against his breast, holding it with his left hand, and with his right he draws the bow back and forth, fiddle faskion. ™This imparts a rotary motion to the driil stock, and the drill Is ground to cut in either way it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the finest work, in crevices where the sculptor could not reach with bis chisel and hammer without endangering the carving. rne Great Eastern.

She was commenced to be built at Millwall in the spring of 1854 and was launch- ed after many difficulties on Jan, 30, 1858. The history of the Great Bastern was from the. first financially an un- fortunate one. She made several voy- ages to the United States at a great loss to her owners, but in 1865 and 1866 she somewhat redeemed her character by successfully laying the Atlantic ca- ble. Subsequently, owing to her vast size, she was instrumental in laying most of the important cables across the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, through the Red sea, etc. In 1888 she was sold at auction in Liverpool to be broken up, bringing the sum of $280,720.—Lon- don Globe.______—__ The Tip of the Alligator’s Tail. A great delicacy in Florida, accord- fug to the Cleveland Leader, is the tip of an alligator's tail. It tastes like frogs’ legs, though a Dbit more gamy. Alligator tails are best just after the ricebird season, The big alligators float In the water with only their eyes showing. When they see a flock of these fat, juicy little birds they dive to the bottom. Their long, wide snout scoops up some of the loam, and they float 10 the surface again with just the rich soil showing. The birds think it is an island. They alight upon it. When the whole family is there the big reptile turns suddenly. Just as the birds scramble off he opens his mouth once. They are gone. The birds are neat little feeders, and the alligator is an epicure at this time of the year.. The ricebird diet makes the tip of his tail. of which he is most vain, tender and sweet. A Famous Dwarf. ' Geoffrey Hudson, the famous dwarf of Charles I, was introduced at court|: during the festivities attending the coronation. By an odd conceit he was concealed in a cold pie, the crust of which being removed discloséd the dwarf fully dressed and making his bow to the king and queen. At the age-of twenty he was eighteen inches high, but before attaining the age of thirty ‘he grew several inches addi- tional. Geoffrey, like most dwarfs, was of limited intelligence, but of intense| ' vanity and large self conceit. It is as- serted by many scientific authorities that this is a characteristic of dwarfs.
