Ono of the most pathetic of ciphU was that seen in the lioston music hall at the last concert given by Mario, the once famous tenor. He wits toor, and the hall was tilled with persons who had been anient admirers of ihis won derful art. and now that lie had lost his art were, willing to put money in his purse. The tenor tried one of his great songs, but his derived voice refused to sing the notes. Atr.un ho tried, and ngstin he failed. Then, with a sad smile, and a slow, mournful move ment of his head, he sutl'ercd the or chestra to plav through the air, and retired from tliestngo timid the silence of the pitying audience. Another pathetic story is told of Bottesini, a fatuous violinist, concern ing his last concert at Parma,: It was a rainy evening and the man agers had forgotten to send a carriage for the veteran, who set out on foot, and had gone some distanco before a passing friend perceived him and made liim enter his carriage. Arrived at the concert room, Bot tcMiii tuned his instrument aud began to rub his bow with rosin. Tlio rosin crumbled in his hands, and, turning to his friends with a sad half smile, he said, "See, it is so that Bottesini, too. will break up." Then he grasped his loved instru ment and drew the low across the strings, but instantly stopped with a wondering look, for he felt something strange iu the tone; his touch was an swered less-readily and curtain! v than of old. . Once more lie tried, and once more stopjied, this time with a smile, saying only, "It answers no more." His au dience perceived nothing unusual in the performance, which they applnud; ed as warmlv as ever, but Bottesini seemed to feel the shadow of death. On the following day lie was stricken with illness, and soon after the won derful hand was stilled forever. Youth's Companion. llotv Ciolil ltln" Are Miule. Gold rings tiro made from bars nine to fifteen inches long. One of these bin's, fifteen inches long, two inches wide sand Il-lU of an inch thick, is worth $1,000, ami will make 400 four pennyweight rings. A dozen processes and twenty minutes' time are required to convert this bar into merchantable rings. First a pair of sheai's cuts the bar into strips. Then by the turn of a wheel a guillotine like blade attached to the machine cuts the bar into slices, one, two or three sixteenths of an inch wide. A rolling machine next presses out tho slices and makes them either flat or grooved. Each strip is then put under a blow pipe and annealed. The oxido of copper comes to tho sur face and is put into a pickle of sul phuric acid, after which the gold is stamped "14 k," "IU k" or "18 Tf," ac cording to quality. Next it is put through a machine which bends it into the shape of a ring of tho size re quired. The ends are then soldered with an alloy of inferior fineness to tho quality oi' the ring. Many people think that ring's are molded because they can't sec where they are soldered. The ring spins through the turning lathe, is rounded, pared and polished, first with steel (Mings, then with trinoli and rouge. Rehoboth Herald. How She Tolled the Tiller. Some years ago one of the present congressman from New York state and his brother were examining tlio stock of a pawnshop iu London with the hope of picking up some curiosities. They came across a necklace of green glass beads, which the New York man purchased for $-."0, intending to bring it home to his little daughter. The bro ther was surprised to find in the shop a counterpart of tin's necklace, which he brought, home to his little girl. Two months later the latter showed her crift to a jeweler, who pronounced the glass beads to be emeralds, and' wno sola tlietn afterwards lor several thousand dollars. Tlio member of con gress, upon hearing this, took his necklace to the same dealer, who pro nounced it to be composed of glass beads. The Ijondon pawn dealer had purchased them of a thief, who had stolen them. from si wealthy woman. The latter kept the emeralds in a safe, and wore their glass counterparts. Of course no 'one could tell tho dili'erence when the necklaco encircled her throat Exchange. ftnhellu Tuprotry. "When you hear people talk about getting Gobelin tapestrv," says C. R.

They turn out goods de-1 siirned for state "jfts, and. tlio same 1 goods arc not made in Philadelphia, although as the manufacturer of tapes tries sue is the metropolis of tho world. It is not thnt we cannot make tapestries as valuable as the Gobelin, but who would buy them? No ono could make them 'without- immense subsidy.

Tho bakers here have a rather orig inal way of keeping accounts which may bo 'called a kind of bookkeeping by doublo entry. When the carrier delivers a loaf of bread, which, by the way, is about five or six feet long, he is handed a wooden lath about a loot long by tho party to whom ho delivers tho bread. From a collection of laths of tho same size, ono for each customer, ho picks out this particular customer's ono, and placing tho two parallel, he cuts a groove across tho face of loth. In tho final adjustment of accounts both laths have to have theame num ber of notches, Cheap, but ingenious, Prolle (France) Cor. Bt. LouU Post-Dispatch, IT IS BETTER TO LIVE. I have sometimes felt thnt the bunlea Of Ufa was too heavy to bear; Aud havo longed to lie down at the noontide, Aud rest and forget nil my care; -But over my heart comes a message, llcpcated ngain and ngatu It Is better to llvo and to suffer. Than to dla to bo rid of tho pain." There is rest In tho darkness of dying. And an cud to tho weary drt.palr. The grave holds sure peace nnd calm alienee. No sorrow uor jvxln can bo tliero: llut perhaps. In tho struggle, of living, In n soul that has need of my care Some heart may to bearing a burden That my hand may lighten or sham. Twould bo easy tosjy "I am weary," And lio dow n and give up tho strife. To suffer no more ith the hrartacho And sorrow I meet in this life; Dut crhaps from my sorrow swept heart strings A melody sweet may 1 wrung. And my Una, when they drank deep of suffer I tig, Tho tendervst songs may havo sung. Tls so lmrd to bo (vitlent with living, When all of the world Is awry; So woiirisoino waiting for pleasures That will only come after wo die; But even through all my complaining 1 can hear that undying refrain "It Is better to live aud to suffer, Than to die to lw out of tho pain." I will llvo aud bo strong, and will suffer, If nood bo. until I find rest, When lifts and Its trials nro ovor; Though never my life should bo blest, Though alw ays the sun should be darkened By tho clouds that hang over my way, I will trust that the light will bo clearer When ut lust 1 awake "in tho day." Agnes I,. lratt iu Boston Globe. IteMiit of Manner. Charles Coron is a merry, rollick ing young man, who often tries his good motiier by his great carelessness of behavior. She had often said to him that sho wished he would sit more quietly, talk iu a less noisy fashion, and try in every way to cultivate repose of manner. Ono evening there was lobe a room ful of formal company at the Corsons, and Mrs. Corson gave her son lino upon line, ami precept upon precept, "i'hero is nothing more elegant in a young man." she concluded, "than perfect repose of manner.1' The company came. Charles grew interested in tlio conversation, and quite forgot his good resolutions. Ho rushed about the rooms, talked very fast, and at last, in fetching a dish of ice cream for one of the guests, stum bled against his mothers chair and spilled half of the ice cream down tho folds of her gown. .Then came, with a Hash of sweet tempered emphasis, words which con trasted drolly with tho abashed face of the young man. "Charles, dear,11 said Mrs. Corson, scarcely turning from the friend with whom she chanced to be talking, "Charles, dear, 1 wish you would cul tivate repose of manner I11 Tho delicate contrast between the phase of reproof and the vexatious ac tion that evoked it made every ono smile; and Charles smiled, too, as, beg ging his mother's pardon, ho knelt down, napkin in hand, to wipo tho ruined folds of silk. Youth's Com panion. How Juy Gould Dispenses Charity. Like most of the successful men of the present age, Mr. Gould is extreme ly methodical and systematic in his habits. Ho rises every morning at precisely half past 7, seldom varying from that hour more than ten min utes. At 8 o'clock ho sits down to his breakfast, which in his case is usually 'French rolls and a cup of coll'eo, and expects to find every member of his family present at that meal. Break fast over, his private secretary is called in, and the numerous begging letters of the morning's mail are laid upon the table. Each member selects at random a number of these letters and reads them over. If any ono of them are impressed bv any of tho letters they are laid aside for future refer ence, while tho others go into tho waste basket, lliose letters wnicli havo been laid aside are then taken up and discussed, and if a majority ol those present conclude that it is a caso which really deserves assistance tho assistance is sure to como within a very few houi-s in a very substantial form and without the slightest hint as to the identity of tho donor. Phila delphia Inquirer. How Tlppo Tib (lot. HU Nuiue. Hamad ben Mohammed Tippo Tib accompanied Mr. Stanley down tho Lualabn to the Seventh Cataract iu 1870. The origin of tho latter sobri quet is peculiar. It was applied to him by tho people at Kansongo in conse quence of their hearing tho sharp, dis? tant rattle of the bandits' guns when on some of their slave catching excur sions. The crack of tho rillo shot bounded iu their cars like "tip tip tip." Another name that has been given to this remarkable man on tho eastern side of central Africa is "M'Kango Njaa'1 - "A f raid of Hungor" for the natives iu tin, famine strick en regions declare that that is tho only enemy of which Hamad, with his largo caravans traversing tlieir barren country, is' iu dread. This inan'u life for tho past thirty years has been one constant succession of adventures. Ho is at tho present moment tho strongest aud most formidable ruler in tho Con go regions of equatorial Africa. "Ltfo Among Congo Savages," by Herbert Ward m Scmncr's. To Clean KngrMvIng. It frequently happens that fine en gravings, notwithstanding every pro caution, become soiled and btaiued, aud a recipe fqr restoring them is val uable. Put tho engraving on a smooth board aud cover, it with a thin layer of common salt, finely pulverized; then squeeze lemon juice upon the salt until a considerable Krtiou of it is dis solved. After every part of tho pic ture has been bubjected to this treat ment elevate one end of the board so that it will form an angle of 45 dogs, with tho horizon. Then pour on the engraving boiling water until the salt and lemon juice are well washed oil'. It will then be perfectly free from stain. It must he dried on tho board or some smooth surfuco gradually. If dried by the (ire or uu it will be tinned with a dingy, yellowish color. Pittsburg I)iUiUti. Dandles of the Time of Clmrles t. When Villiers, James I's and Charles I's favorite, went on his mis sion to Paris in 1 C-. ho had no fewer than seven and-twenty suits of clothes made, tho richest that embroidery, lace, silk, velvet, gold and gems could contribute, one of which was n whito uncut velvet, "set all over, both suit and cloak, with diamonds valued at four score thousand pounds, besides a great feather, stuck all over with dia monds." "It was common with him," bays a contemporary, "at an ordinary dancing to havo his clothes trimmed with great diamond button, and to havo diamond hat bauds, cockades and earrings; to be yoket with great and manifold ropos and knots of pearl; in short, to be manacled, fettored and imprisoned in jewels." lo the prevailing extravagance in dress the satirists again allude in tho severest terms. "I havo much won dered," says Henry Peaehatn, "why our English, above other nations, should so much dote upon new fash ions, but more 1 wonder at our want of wit that wo cannot invent them ourselves, but, when ono is grown stale, send presently over into France to seek a new, making that noblo and nourishing kingdom the magazine of our fooleries, and fortius purpose many of our tailors lie leger (i. e. reside) hhore, and ladies jest over tlieir gen tlemen usliVrs, to accouter them and themselves as you see. Henco camo your slashed doublets (as if tho w car era were cut out to bo carbonadoed upon tho coals) and your half shirts,' nieciuuiues t.now out oi request), your long breeches, narrow toward tho knees like a pair of smith's hollows, tho spangled gaiters pendant to tho shoe, your perfumed perukes or peri wigs, to show us that lost hair maybe had again for money with a thousand such fooleries unknown to our manly forefathers." Tho reader may find it a pleasant change to turn to tho rhyming moral ists. Here to tho fore comes John Taylor, the so called water poet, launching his shafts not too sharply pointed at tho excess of those who wear: A farm In shoestrings edged with gold. And siungled garters worth n copyhold; A hose mid doublet Ith a lordship cost, A gaudy clonk (threu manor's price almost,) A beaver baud and feather for tho head, l'rl.tM at tlio church's lithe, tho poor man's bread Gentleman's Magazine. An Unknown I.aml. Washington has her great unknown land, like tho interior of Africa, says Tlio Seattle Press. Tho country shut in by tho Olympic mountains,' which includes un area of about 2,C00 miles square, has never, to tho positivo knowledge of old residents of tho ter ritory, been trodden by the foot of man, white or Indian. These moun tains rise from tho level country, within ten or fifteen miles of tho Straits of San Juan de Fuca in tho north, the Pacific ocean in tho west, Hood's canal in the east, and the basin of the Quiuault lake in tho south, and, rising to the height of 0,000 to 8,000 feet, shht in a vast unexplored area. Tho Indians havo never penetrated it, for their traditions say it is inhab ited by a very fierce tribe, which nono of tho coast tribes dared molest. Though it is improbable that such a tribo could have existed iu this moun tain country without their presenco be coming known to tho white men, no man has ever ascertained that it did not exist. Whito men, too, havo only vague accounts of any white man hav ing ever passed through this country, for investigation of all tho claims of travelers lias invariably proved that they havo only traversed its outer edges. Tho most generally accepted theory in regard to this country is that it con sisted of great valleys, stretching from tho inward slopes of tho mountains to a great central basin. This theory is supported by tho fact that, although the country around has abundant ram and clouds constantly hilng over the mountain tops, all tho streams flowing toward the four points of tho compass are 'insignificant and rise only on the outward slopes of tho range, nono ap pearing to drain the great lakes shut in by the mountains. 'Ihis fact appears to support the theory that streams (lowing from the inner slopes of the mountains feed a great interior lake. But what drains this lake? It must havo an outlet somewhere, and, as all j tho streams injuring from tho moun tains rise on their outward slopes, it must ,1m vo a suiucrnuicau outlet to tlio ocean, tho straitsor tho sound.

His mother was left a widow when he was a child, and is said to havo had all she could do to provide for the wants of her family. It is hoped that when the governor got $100,000, a knight hoou and a goblet valued at $5,000 as a reward for finding a Spanish treas ure ship that had gone to the bottom half a century before, he remembered his mother and made her last days eas ier than her earlier ones had been, Exchange, A Living Lantern.
