Watts was his name, anil ho was by trudo a shotmakcr. Tho making of tho littloloaden wlH.s was then n slow, lubo riousaud, consequonlly, costly process. Wntla had to takogreatbarsof lead nnd pouudthem out into sheets of a thickness about equal to tho diameter ot tlio shot ho de?iixl to make. Then ho cut tho sheets into little cubos, which ho placed in a revolving barrel or box nnd rolled until tho edges w oro off from tho constant friction and tho littlo cubes bocamo sphurolds. Watts had often racked Ids bruin trying to doviso a better bcheino, but in vain. Finally, after an ovening f-.wnt with eouio jolly companions nt tho ideliouso ho went homo and turned into bod. Ho soon fell into a deep slumber, but tho liquor evidently did not ngroo witli him, for ho had a bad dream, no thought ho was out aguln witli tho "boys." They wero nil trying to find their way homo nhcultbcgau to rain shot. Beautiful glob ules of lead, iolisliod nnd shlidng, fell in u tor rent aud compelled him and his bibulous com panions to draw their heavy limbs to a placo of shelter. In tho morning, when AVatts aroso, ho remembered tho dream. Ho thought about it all day, and wondered what shajK) molten lead would tako in falling a distance through tho air. At last, when ho could rest no longer, ho carried a ladleful of tho hot inotal up into tho stocplo of tho church of St. J.Inry of KcdcluTonnd dropjied it into tho moat below. Descending, ho took from tho bottom of tho fchallow pool several haudfulsof perfect shot, far superior to any ho had ever teen. Watts' fortuuo was made, for ho had con ceived tho idea of tho shot tower, which lias ever binco beeu tho only means employed in tho manufacture of tho death dealing littlo missiles so much usod in war aud sport. The Sim'a Image, llr. J. C. O'Loan, of Liverpool, writes: Whilo experimenting with a ruy of sunlight in a darkened room I had my attention di rected to pin holo pictures, nnd am of tlio opinion that startling results cau bo obtained in photographs of tho run or moon hi tliis way. In a room darkened by blocking up windows with thick paper mako a small holo in tho paper with a "darning needle," so as to admit u rny of direct sunlight. Hold a picco of whito paper in tho jiath of tho lay, twclvo inches from tholiolo; you will uavoan imago of tho sun one-eighth inch in diameter; at four feet, nn imago of ono-half inch, and at tho distauco of eight feet from tho holo a ono inch image, and so on. Tho sizo of open ing used as lens docs not alter tho sizo of imago at any given dktanco, but only its sharpness nnd brightness. Hay tho opening is one-sixtcouth of nn inch, and gives ti bharp picturo at four fcot, by enlarging tho opening to ono-eighth tho sizo of the imago at four feet would bo still tho banic, but uasharp, tu that tho hereon or plato must bo removed to twico tho distanco to obtain equal sharpness. In a room 100 feet long a twclvo inch picturo of tho sim could bo had, aud of tho moon ono very much larger. A beries of pipes 100 yards long for camera would givo a tluvo foot photograph of tho sun. In fact, thcro is no limit to sizo of iningo but tho length of camera. Perhaps soino ono who ha more timo nnd spaco at their disposal than I may tako up tho subject. United States 1'oiclgn Missions. Tho ofilco of envoy extraordinary aud min ister plenijioteutiary is specified in tho United States statutes concerning representatives abroad. Anciently an envoy and a plenipo tentiary wero distinct oillces, with littlo dif ferenco in their powers and none in rank. Thoy aro now blended into ono nnd rank noxt to ambassadors, nnd, in practice, jxirform bimilnr duties, and aro entitled to tho samo privileges and immunities. When abroad thoy represent tho nation, and act under tho direction of tho president, generally through tho department of state. Treaties formed by them havo no legal validity until ratified by tho bcnato by a voto of two-thirds of thoso present. Envoys are sent to Great Britain, Franco, Russia, Spain, Prussia, Austria, Italy, China, Jiexico, Brazil, Chili, Peru and Japan. Tho envoy is usually called briefly "tho American minister." His rank is below that ot ambassador. Ministers resident rep resent our government substantially as am bassadors and envoys do, nnd rank next bo low tho latter. Whither at court or nt tho btato or foreign offices in tho countries to which they aro sent, all such officers aro re ceived in turn according to rank. If an am bassador should arrivo on business with tho foreign secretary of Great Britaic whilo tho minister plenipotentiary was waiting for an audience, tlio minister would havo to wait, as tho ambassador, ranking first, would bo received first. Why a nollril Lobster Is Ited. In all crustacean, as, indeed, in almost everything in nature, thero isac am jier cent, of iron. Up in boding tho lobster tho iron is oxidized. This effect is largely duo i also to tho percentage of muriatic acid which , exists natui ally in tlio bhell. Tlio chemical I chango whir-h takes placo hero is uunost simi i lar to that which occurs in tho burning of n ! brick. In boiling u lobster its coat ceases to j bo it living bubitanco and to a certain extent it takes a now character. It is ns a brick I would bo after burning. This effect can also ! bo produced by tho sun, but necv-sai ily not , so rapidly, as tho heat of that luminary, al though moro iutenso, is not concentrated sdf ficieutly to produce tlio result. Tho bun also exercises a bleaching influence, which con sumes tho oxido almo-it as fast ns it is formed, leaving tho bhell white, or nearly pure lime. The Pnutlo Sen. Tho Pontic was tlio Black sea, tlio Latin word pontus meaning sea. Tho Propontis was tho sea between tho yEgcnu ond tho Pontic seas; it is so called because of its position before or In front of tho Pontic. Tho Hellespont is tho strait of tho Dardanelles; tho name, Hello's sea, is derived from tho btory of Hello being drown-jil in it. Hello was rescued from deutli, with her brother Phrixus, by her mother, and on tho laid: of tho ram with tho golden iloeco tho children wero carried from Asia to Europe, Hclle, however, fell into tlio tea, called thencefor ward tho Helle.vont. Tho Nmal Cailrts. Tho students of tho United States Nnvn! academy aro classified into two divisions, cadet midshipmen nnd cadet engineers. Cnndldutcs for tho classes of cadet midship men must passu satisfactory examination iu mithmetic, English grammar, geography, reading, writing and bjiolling. Candidates for tho classes of cadet engineers must pass an examination la tho studies mentioned, und iu algebra and geomotry, nnd must also havo somo knowledge of btoam machinery. Iiy writing to the Hon. William O. Whitney, becretaryof tho navy, Washington, you can obtain full information with regard to tho rules aud regulations of tho Uultod States Naval academy. What's u I'lame? Combustion is in soino way produced by tho union of carbon and hydrogen with oxygen. When tho combustiblo materials nro consumod, or tho supply of oxygon is in lulllcieut to continue tho flame, tlio "fire eoes out," Tho best philosopher can tell ttlo moro, ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. A Pictty I'rnmo for it Simple Nlrliel Clock. A Dainty Hit of Pmicy Work. It is quito common nowadays to see In al most overy house a small nickel plated clock, bomctlmes with nn alarm attachment, somo times without. They uro not very pretty, but havo tho merit of being within tho reach of people of moderate means, and Decorator mid Furnisher tells that by tho following de vice they can bo rendered quito ornauicntnl nnd attractive, Firt a frame is necessary. An old cigar box which Is largo enough for tho clock to bet in, is just the thing. Tako on" tlio lid, and in tho center of tho bottom of tho box cut out a circular picco a tritlo smaller than thofneoof tho clock. Cover tho sides nnd tliobotlomof tho box v.itli plush, or with any other material which may suit one's fancy or convenience, mnkiug atlownuco for tho edges being tucked on tho insido of tho box. Now, with a pair of sharp pointed scissors, cut tho cloth to correspond with tho cirelo in tho box, a half nn Inch windier than tho cir cumference of tho circle, in which mnko in cisions so that tho cloth can bo turned in over tho edge smoothly. No gluo is mccs bary, a fow of tho smallest gimp tacks is all that will bo required to fasten firmly tho edges of tho cloth. Placo tho box on ono of its sides, set tho clock inside, nnd you havo a very unique and tasteful framo for a plain nnd slmplo clock. On tho top of tho frame, if so desired, can bo placed somo sniull orna ment as n finish. Utile Helps. Tho following iu'o among littlo helps in good housekeeping: If tlio cover is removed from soap dishes tho soap will not get sof t. Sdvcr ran bo kept bright for months by being plnced in an air tight cato with a good bizcl pieco of camphor. Use squares of dull colored felt, pinked at tho edges, under statuary or miy heavy orna ments that am liablo to mar a. polished sur faco. Mahogany and cherry furnitnro often gets dull for want of a good cleaning witli a moist cloth. Polish with tho hand, rubbing well, and the result will bo Eurpri'iug. Windows can bo cleaned in winter nnd the frost entirely removed by Using a gill of alcohol to a pint of hot water. Clean (miekly and rub dry with a warm chamois skin. Artistic Designs for Initials. On various articles of fancy work, rach as dainty littlosatiii sachets for perfume, sT.Chcts for lace, handkerchief cases, glovo sachets or cases, plush covered jewel caskets and work baskets, as well as bags aud baskets for US. 1 Or..VAJIENTAI, INITIAL. Tho artistic initials shown in the cuts aro charming iu their freshness and originality, and afford a sufficient suggestion to tho clover amateur from which to construct iu similar stylo any letters wanted. Via. 2 OnNAUKXTAIi INITIAL. bonbons or knickknacks of any kind, nnd for ornamental book covers in plush or satin, thero is hardly a moro effective ornament than a hnndsomo initial well painted or em broidered. Tho rustic branches that form the central idea of tho design can bo mndo to lend them bclves ns gracetully to tho curves of y, C, R, and other initials in which "tho lino of lieauty" is prominent, as to the angular char acters of tho alphabet, such as A and M. Theso designs aro especially attractivo for delicato work in water colors. Ornamental rrnstlns on Cakes. In order to do on.amental frosting such as confectioners put on cakes ono noeds a frost ing bag und tubus or frosting points. Tho bag is of very thin rubber sheeting and shaped liko a cono or funnel. At the end of tho funnel is a small hole. Tho tubo or point is put insido tlio bag and proed firmly into and through this littlo aperture. Thn tho bag is partly filled with frosting, which is squeezed through the point on to tho cake. Some points aro simply round tubes, others havo teeth that cause tho frotting to ussumo tho form of leaves, crinkled liues nn l other devices. A rupply of (loiutsof various shapes can bo procured at any houso furnishing store, and one can n.iiko three of the rubber bags out of a quarter of u yard of sheeting. After the necessary practico ono can ice cakes very nicely. Cabbage wllh Apples. Cnbbago v.itli apples may not tempt every body, but though the dish bo homely the rccipo emunntx'8 from such eminent culinary authority as M. Wot. Hoil a head of cubbago about ten minutes; then drain it. Put a largo tablespoon ful of butter in a saucepan over tho fire, and, when it is melted, put in tho cabbage, with four or five tart apples (peeled, cored and quartered), ulso a trillo of sugar und salt, and a half pint of water. Jioil tho whole gently till tho cabbago and apples nro tender, and bcrvo hot. A I'lulii but Good I'm II C.ilie.

Nowhere is good breeding moro apparent ihnii at the table. As n rule, ill manners, elsewhere concealed, nro ever discernible here. After being seated one should nt once unfold nnd place his napkin. This article is most conveniently held in tho left hand when in immediate use. Uuests should not lay aside their napkins until the hostess does so, At hotels, or where the guest is present for only one meal, the napkin should lint bo refolded, but should bo laid unfolded lit the bide of tho plate. As soon as each per.-on is served he should commence eating or pre paring to do so thus avoiding any awk ward paii-e during the carving or serving food. One's slice of bread should necr be spread with butter all at once, child fashion, but should be broken, nnd it buttered, should bo spread n portion at a time, ns eaten. When a guest has had sullleient ten orcolfeo he lemeshls spoon in tho cup, but if niDio is desired he will leme it ill the saucer. In cutting nn orange, it is well to divide it in two parts from sldo to side, not irom top to bottom, then It can easily be eaten with n spoon. Politeness ns well as health demands that fond bo eaten slowly, aud not gulped down. In giving your plate to the waiter to be. replenished, never send with it the knife and fork. These can 1.0 held in tho lelt hand. The waiter should serve always at the left of the guest. Pass over without remark any accident or mis lortune in serving upon the part of your self or another. If any upnlngy is ollered, let it not lie at the table. The hostess must not repeatedly urge her guests to accept food nf which they have once iiartnken. They can best judge for themselves in this matter. In setting the table set end ways are in vogno for placing the knives nnd finks, the mo'tniMiroveil wav is witli Unite or kimes nt the right and the fork or forks at the left of ouch plate. The absurd mode of plac ing the plates upido down is not good form. Flowers nie always a pleasant decoration of the dining hall and table, and. are now often loosely laid upon the table without tho use of vases. MlI.DHKl).
