Ciil'inu Way. of lino Vli re j I n ir.
rho baker in France have an
original ayatem of keeping account
which may becalled a kind of book
keeping by double entry. When
the carrier deliver a loaf of bread,
w hich, by tho way, i about live or
ix feet long, lie i handed a wooden
lath about a foot long by the party
o whom he deliver the bread.
From a collection of lath of the
name nic, one for each eutoine r,
he pick out I hi particular cutnm-
t'm one, and placing tho two parnl-
el he cut a groove aero the face
of both, In the final adjuKtmeut
of acnountN both lath have to have
tho Maine number of notche. Chen
hut ingeniou.
Yot no men make. a sail mistake
when they think it necessary that
they should have a penonal ac-
piainlanee with tho dark and
Hcumy side of life. Many a man
who ha peered into tho abyss "just
to see w hat it was like," bus lost his
balance and fallen almost hope
lessly, A young man wa talking
to a pilot on one of our big steam
ers, "llow long, noasKCii, "nave
you been a pilot on these waters?"
Tho old man replied, " Twenty-five
years; and I caiim up and down nin
ny times before I was pilot."
"Then," laid tho young man, "I
should think you must know every
rock and sand-batik on the river,"
The old man smiled nt tho youth's
simplicity and replied, " Oh, no, I
dont; but l know where tho deep
water ii." That is what wo want
to know tho safo path nml to kuej
it.

says about Russia: "In St. Peters
burg, in fuel all through Russia,
there is n hush in the very nir.
There's a dread of something, a
fear of the (liivorninent. Ono day
I saw a carriage containing n
gciid'aiino and another person.
I asked our guide who it was, and
he said it wa a political prisoner.
I ask"d him what would become of
him. 'Oil, he'll never bo heard of
again.' We don't have any bother
about juries and trials. The pnors
won't take up the matter, and his
friend won't attempt to do any
thing for liiin.' 'Hut if ho were
your brother wouldn't you try to do
Noniething for him?' I asked. 'No,
sir. If I went to tho ollicers and
said I wanted to know what they
were going to do with him they
wiuld say: "Come'right in. You
can hnvo the cell next to him am
go with him to Siberia to see what
becomes of him." When they want
a liuiii in Russia they maki no fuss
about il. An olllccrgoes to n mnn's
house or shop, and, beckoning to
him, says: "1 want you. The man
doesn't ask what is wanted or why
ho is wanted, llo goo. Outside

the hell on each dido of uu egg,
without Injuring tin) Jineinhrane,
iu patclie about tho Hize of the di
ameter of a pea and nuuggly fitting
the opening with pit of gla;
give the following report of the
wonderful experiment: t
I placed the egg with tho gla
buH'H-eye in an incubator, run by
clock work and revolving once each
hour, no that I had tho plcauru of
looking through and watching .the
change upon the ini.l at the cud
of each ixly minute,
No change were noticeable until
after the end of the twelfth hour,
w hen oiue of the lineament of the
head ami body of the chiclt made
their apiiearance, Tho heart
appeared to Ix-at at tho end of tho
twenty-fourth hour, and In forty
eight hour two veel of blood
were ditinguihed, the pulwation
were ipiite viMible, At the fiftieth
hour an auricle of the heart appear
ed, much reembling a lace or nooo
folded down Umn itelf, At the
end of eventy hour we distin
guished wingi and two bubble for
the brain, one for a bill, and two
other for the forepart and hindpart
of the head. The liver np'nrel at
the end of the fifth day.
At tho end of 131 hour, the flrt
voluntary motion wa obaervinl.
At the end of l'!H hour the lung
and stomach had Iwcotire viiblo,
and four hour later the intestines,
the loin and the upper Inapdible
could le ditin;uihed. Thesliuiy
matter of the brain began to take
form and become more compact at
the beginning of the sevonth day.
At the hundred and ninetieth hour
the bill firat ocncd and the ll'-nh
li-gun to appear on tlm breast. At
the hundred and ninetieth the ster
num ap'arcd. At the two hun
dred and tenth hour the rib had
iM'gtin to put out from the back, the
bill wa tpiite visible, a wa also
the gall bladder.
At the beginning of the two hun
dred and thirty-sixth hour tin bill
had become gri-en, and it wa evi
dent that the chick could have
moved had it leen taken from the
shell. Four hour more and feath
er had commenced to slnsit out
and the skull to lierome grisly;
A 1 1 he t wo hu ndred and six ty-fonrt h
hour the eye appeared and two
hour later the ril were icrfect.
At the three hundred and thirty
firt hour the spleen drew up to the
stomach and the lungi to the chest.
When the incubator had turned
the egg !t.T time the bill wa fre-
pienlly opening and closing, u if
the chick were gasping for breath.
When 4ol hour had elapsed we
heard the first cry of the little im
prisoned biped. From that time
forward he grew rapidly and came
out a full lied gisl chick at the same
time.

While musingly watching the
now fall tho other day we recall ed
a story in connection with the Mil-
lerite excitement of years ngo. A
certain locality of ono of tho New
Knglaud statu was atllictsd with
the craio of Second Adventisin, and
the iipoillc of that fanaticism in
the place referred to predicted that
" the world would burn as stubblo"
before tho close of tho year. An
old lady wa particularly exercised
by what she considered oracular
prophecy, am! she (lamed with ex
citement aa tho cud of tho year
drew nigh. Her ascension robe
wa prepared, and was conveniently
near her day and night. Her wick
ed and tinimprcHsihle husband did
not share her faith, and like a prov
ident man laid in hi usual supply
of provisions for tho winter. Among
other necessities ho hnulod an
abundant supply of cord wood, and
ricked it up a high as ho could
reach near tho side of the house in
which he hud his liod-chamber, A
deep snow fell, nml late ono night
after tho icalots had held a jirepsr
atory meeting, a high wind arose,
and tho pile of cord wood wa ho
shaken in tho elemental strife that
it commenced rolling with ponder-
on thumps against Ihe limine. It
was an ominous noise to the old wo
man. To her it was (ho beginning
of tho end the veritable ".crack of
doom." , She cprnng out of bod and
frantically rushed for her robe. She
screamed at the top of bor voico
"Awake! Arouse! Gabriel, is worn-
ingl I Ivnr tho rambling of his
chariot whcelsl" The old man rollo
over in hiii bed, gavo a preliminary
grunt of dissatisfaction, and growled
out: ' Oh, belli Do you suppose (la

The manufacture of attar of ros1
furnishes employment to hundreds
of js rsons. A visit to the rose fields
is something one will remember a
lifetime. The largest roee fields in
the world are at Keian Lik, in Bul
garia. There tlie roses from which
the perfume is made are cultivated
most extensively. The rose district
extends for miles and miles, and
the entire country is a solid mass
of (lowers. The district is, as 1
should judge, alsmt one thousand
square miles. In procuring tho at
tar of roses nothing but tho leavts
arc used. It takes 6,000 pounds of
leaves to make one pound of the at
tar. Tho rose leaves are picked In
tho proper season, thrown into piles,
and then taken up and placed in
large copper kettles for the purpose
of distilling the pure oil or attar. The
kettles are arranged ono within an
other, and tho leaves aro taken
through twenty-five or thirty distil
lations. Good attnr of roses can be
had from 112 to 115 per ounce at
wholesale. It sometimes retails for
50 to $G0 nn ounce.
