in the Talue of silver, everything
else will meet it relatively, except
gold, and its purchasing power
will at no time fall below what it

At the far end of Naples lies the lit
tle church of Santa Maria Annunziata,
which, once a year, on the day of Our
Lady, wakes up into a brief life and
excitement. In a silent row before a
high altar kneel thirty girls, all in
black garments, with folded hands,
and eyes fixed on the picture of the
Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh

those who have reached the age of
eighteen are brought here to the church
and may be chosen in marriage by any
honest man whose papers are in order
and whose character is good. At the
door leading to the sacristy leans a
gray-haired priest, the head of the asy
lum. By and by a young man makes
his way from the back of the church and
hands him a packet of papers. These
the priest reads carefully, and, being
satisfied, he gives them back and leads
the candidate toward the row of girls.
Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly
than ever on the altar, their hands are
clasped tighter together, their faces
turn a shade paler, their hearts beat
quicker as the young man walks slowly
along the row. At last he stops; his
choice is made. He stretches out his
hand with a little smile.
The girl rises, casts a long look, half
thanks, half entreaty, at the picture
of the Madonna, puts her hand into
that of the stranger, and together they
disappear into the sacristy. The ice
being thus broken, other suitors come
forward.

Roman Flute Players, II. C. 300, Successful
ly Resented Exclusion from a llunquct.
Livy, in his famous book, "The An
nals," ix., 30, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of a singular
strike which occurred at Rome in the
year 300 li. C, and was probably the
first strike ever known:
"That year occurred an event lit
tle worthy of being related and which
I would pass in' silence had it not ap
peared as involving religion. The flute
players, dissatisfied because the latest
censors had forbidden them to take
part in the banquet in Jupiter's tem
ple, according to the ancient custom,
withdrew, every one of them, to Tibur,
so that nobody was left at Rome to
play during the sacrifices. This inci
dent shocked the religious sentiment
of the senate, and the senators sent
messengers to invite the inhabitants of
Tibur to make every effort in order
that the players should be restored to
the Romans. The Tiburtines, having
promised not to neglect anything
necessary for that purpose, caused the
flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted
them to go back to Rome. Seeing that
they could not prevail upon them to do
so they employed a stratagem in keep
ing with their character. On a day of
festival, under the pretext that music
would increase the joy of the feast,
every citizen invited the flute players
individually to his house, and wine, of
which people of that profession are
usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were thrown into
wagons and transported "to Rome
They only became aware of what had
happened on the day after, when dawn
surprised thein' lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. A
large crowd had assembled and they
were induced to promise that they
would rcmaiu at Rome. The right of
attending the buuqucts wus restored to
these flute pluyers."
he chanced to look at the stone which
had done the damage, when, to his as
tonishment, he perceived it was almost
pure silver.
This story may be apochrvphal, but
a taie wnicn comes from Mexico is
tolerably well authenticated. Ac
cording to this narrative, one of the
richest mines in that land of mineral
wealth was found by a rabbit. An
Indian was hunting rabbits, and his
dog chased one to a hole in a hillside.
The Tndian hesitated for a moment
whether to dig out the rabbit he had
seen enter or go in pursuit of another.
Determining Anally that one rabbit in
a hole was worth more than half a
dozen on a rocky hillside, he got a
spade and went to work.
Before he had turned over half a
dozen spadefuls of earth he had for
gotten all about the rabbit, for he
made the thrilling discovery that he
was handling almost solid silver. The
man dropped his spade and ran to his
employer with the intelligence, the
latter returning with him to the spot
to see for himself and verify the dis
covery. The rabbit escaped; at least it
is supposed it did, for it enters no
more into the story, but its memory is
preserved in the name of the mine,
Which, being translated into English,
signifies the "Rabbit's Den."
It would have been well for the
Indian if he had escaped when the
rabbit did, for, according to the story,
the poor fellow was murdered by the
Spaniard, who desired to keep the
secret of the mine and was afraid that
the Indian might reveal it and the gov
eminent might step in and claim either
the whole or a large part of the pro
ceeds,

and that death resulted mostly from
asphyxia caused by the sudden stop'

the animal recovered completely. In
no case was there any physiological
change noted, though in a few there
were mechanical lesions, in themselves
cause for death. This further confirm'

important that the electrician should
make himself acquainted with the prop

Thia tiaa not always la-en true, how

perhaps, out of a feeling of modesty,
some, men have shunned honorary

have coveted them. Speaking aliout
this aulijcct, the llostou Watchman

Judge 1'eters Is authority for the

And then the old gentleman, with el

nearly touched his loft arm, write his

There is a species of fish in the In
dian ocean which have a very remark
able peculiarity," said a Philadelphia
naturalist. "1 his fish ia provided with
a short snout, which it uses very much
as a MMirtNinan uses a gun. Swimming
lose iH-neath the hurfuce of the water,
it waU-hes the flies Hitting about di
rectly overhead, and having mdected
one to ita fancy, suddenly thrusts its
head out of the water, and with un
erring marksmanship discharges sev
eral drops of water at its victim. Con
fused, and with its wings drenched and
rendered temporarily useless by the
watery projectiles, the Insect drops to
the surface of the water, where it is
gobbled up bv its voraciou enemy
These fish are said to be able to bring
down a fly in this manner from the
height of two or three feet."
