Wonderful Llfe-Work Performed
Bed of Tain.
An indolent boy, whose schooling
had been chiefly remarkable for his re
sources for mischievous pranks, met
with an accident which disabled him
for life.
In consequence of injuries affectinsf
hip and spine lie became an incurable
cripple. His life bun? in the balance
for many months, and when he began
to mend in general health it was with
out hope of his ever leaving1 his bed.
One day he was seized with a strong
purpose. "I must work," he exclaimed
to his mother. "I shall lose my mind j
if I lie here counting my aches and j
pains."
He asked her to prop him up with
pillows and to fetch his school books.
The pages disclosed an industry which
had interfered with serious study.
Fly-leaves and margins were illus
trated with humorous faces and boldly
drawn caricatures. Algebra and ge
ometry were illumined with grotesque
portraits of teachers and schoolmates.
His Kneid contained a series of comic
pictures illustrating Dido's romantic
career and the adventures of her lover
in the spirit world.
The cripple had thousrht of his one
accomplishment, which had often
brought him into disgrace at school for
waste of time. He began by making
pen and ink drawings to illustrate com
ical incidents and dialogues. A dozen
of these were sent to an illustrated pa
per, and six were accepted.
Encouraged by his success he became
a regular contributor to several comic
journals, and ended by earning more
money than his brothers, who were
clerks in stores.
He was not strong enough to work
more than a few hours morning and
evening; but when his pencil was idle
his mind was conjuring with grotesque
fancies. Not satisfied with the wages
received :for quips and cranks and hu
morous cartoons, he resolved to learn to
etch, and finally became expert in the
use of tools and acids. Perceiving that
confinement indoors was restricting his
work to interiors, he designed a bed on
wheels which could be rolled under
trees.
His health gradually failed, but am
bition spurred him op. "Work has
kept him alive," said his physician; '"he
willdia without it" When too weak
to use ms pencil he passed quickly
away.
A life of physical anguish had been
ennobled by heroic persistence in turn
ing his one talent to good account.

The r.lowlnr Tribute of a British
sine to liar Industries.
Science is supreme in American pro
duction, and the Americans have out
run us all in its application They
were the first to utilize electricity, not
merely in the development of telegra
phy and the kindred arts, but as a
powerful ally in manufacture. In the
welding of metnls. for instance it now
plays an important part It has re
duced the price of aluminum from two
pounds and two shillings a pound, and
the metal has now in consequence
passed into common use; it enters into
the fabric of the bicycle: it is made into
shoes for the horses of Russian cavalry;
it is embodied in the enigmatical figtire
which crowns the Shaftesbury mem'-rial.
In iron and steel the nse of highly-
developed machinery, which isnomore
than the application of science, has
revolutionized production. The new
drop-hammer has brought down the
price of American plows to less than
one pound, and in the making of all
sorts of agricultural implements it is
calculated that six hundred men can
now produce as much as two thousand
one hundred and fo ty-five a few vears
ago. Where a sintrle workman could
make three dozen pairs of sleeve links
in a day, a boy can now make nine
thousand.
The manufacture of pins still holds
its own as an "object lesson;" but
whereas Adam Smith notes with aston
ishment and admiration ten men turn
ing out iortv-eignt thousand mns a
day, the modern American manufactur
er finds no difficulty in supplying seven
and a half millions in the same time
as me result 01 tne labor 01 nve pairs
of hands. Compare this with the state
of things at the time of the war of in
dependence, when imported pins scld
for seven shillings and sixpence a doz
en, and when, to encourage home in
dustry, the government offered fifty
pounds for the best twenty-five dozen
of pins made in America equal to those
imported from England. Edinburgh

Medieval Times.
Prchm informs 11s that the flesh of
the young peacock is very delicate, and
has "a wild odor" which is very agree
able. He thinks an old bird fit only
for stewing. The dreeks must have
found it marvelous costly feeding, if it
be true, as Aelian says, that a single
bird was worth a thousand drachmas
nearly sixty pounds sterling. The es
teem in which it was held in the last
days of the Roman republic did not di
minish under the imperial regime.
Vitellius and llelioirabalus served up
to their boon companions enormous
dishes of peacocks' tongues and brains.
seasoned with the rarest Indian spices.
In medieval days it was still held in
favor, particularly as a Christmas dish
and minstrels sang of it as "food for
lovers and meat for lords."
To fit it for the tabic was no ordi
nary culinary operation. After the
skin and plumage had lieen carefully
stripped off, the bird was roasted; then
served up again in its feathers, with
gilded beak. No, I have forgotten tha
it was first stuffed with spices and
sweet herbs and basted with yolk of
egg. It floated in a sea of gravy, as
many as three fat wethers sometime
supplying the unctuous liquor for
single peacock.
No vulgar hands carried it to table
but the fairest and most illustrious of
the dames and damsels present at the
feast, and its arrival was announced
by strains of triumphal music. Had
the bird known the honors reserved for
its obsequies, surely it would, like
Keats, h ave fallen "half in love with
easeful death."
"ISy cock und pie!" exclaims Justice
Shallow little knowing that his every
day ejaculation referred to the old
chivalrous usage of swearing over this
lordly bird to undertake any grim en
terprise worthy of a gallant knight.

Irving, in a note in his delightful vol

"To an unpracticed eye the light re
lievos and fanciful arabesques which
cover the walls of the Alhambra appear
to have been sculptured by the hand,
with a minute and patient labor, an in
exhaustible variety of detail, yet a gen
eral uniformity and harmony of design
truly astonisfiing; and this is especial
ly so of the vaults and cupolas, which
are wrought like honej-eomb.s or frost

which confound the beholder with the
seeming intricacy of their patterns.
The astonishment ceases, however,
when it is discovered that this is all
stucco work; plates of piaster of Paris,
cast in molds and skillfully joined so
as to form patterns of evry size and
form. This mode of diapering walls

vaults with grotto work was invented

A Htory of Vlrclnln's Hlaek Swamp.
Three and a half miles west of Aldie,
Loudoun county, Va., is the locally fa
mous "black swamp, and a strange
story has been current thereabouts for
the better part of this century. Jesse
McVeigh lived long ago in an old stone
house on the edge of the swamp, and
there came to him once a stranger ask
ing shelter, lhe stranger is taken in
and he lived there for five years. He
never went beyond the swamp for ex
ercise and he took elaborate precau
tions at night to guard against sur
prise. When he died a stranger from
a neighboring village came and claimed
the body, professing to recognize the
dead man as an acquaintance. The
stranger who claimed the body was
the dead man's son, and he afterward
became chief justice of the United
States supreme court. The father, a
wealthy and well educated Maryland
er, but a man of ungovernable temper,
had slain a guest at his own table by
breaking his skull with a decanter.
The homicide's place of hiding- was
hardly more than fifty miles from the
scene of his crime. X. Y. Sun.

T a Trading slave Ship.
There is much doubt as to the orig
inal home of the peanut- Some claim
that it is indigenous to Africa, others
that it was a native of South America
and was carried by earlier explorers of
that country to Spain and thence to
Africa. The earliest authentic tradi
tion tells of its appearance in eastern
North Carolina, probably brought
there by some of the slave ships land
ing cargoes along the coast The na
tive Africans recognized and used them.
Peanuts grow upon a trailing vine
with leaves much resembling a small
four-leaved clover. The small yellow
flower it bears is shaped like the blos
som of the pea family; indeed the agri
cultural bureau in Washington does
not recognize the peanut as a nnt at
all, but classes it among beans. The
soil in which it is cultivated must be
light and sandy; after the flower falls
away the flower stalk elongates and
becomes rigid, curving in such a way as
to push the forming pod well below the
surface of the earth; if by any accident
this is not done the nut never matures.
They are planted in rows about three
feet apart, and the vines spread until
the ground is covered by them. Harvest
ing is done after the first frost, and the
yield is often one hundred bushels to
the acre, making this a more profitable
crop than wheat or cotton. The vines.
with the nuts clinging to them, are
torn up with pronged hoes and allowed
to dry in the sun for a day or two, and
then sacked to cure. In about a fort
night the nuts are picked off, the
empty ones, which are technically
called "pops" being rejected. This is
done by hand and is slow work, as an
expert laborer can pick only three
bushels a day. They come into mar
ket in a rough, dirty state, unassorted
and with vine tendrils clinging to the
: pods.

It is possible by a simple experiment
to demonstrate to the ej-e that the
earth really moves: a fact which most
of us at present take largely upon here-
say. Place upon the floor of a room,
with closed doors and windows, a large
bowl full of water. Sprinkle over the
surface some powder that will not
readily sink by wetting. The finest
pulverized sawdust is excellent. Take
care that it is placed in the middle of
the surface of the water and does not
touch the edges of the dish. Carefullj'
scatter a very narrow line of charcoal
over the sawdust and across from side
to side of the bowl. Place a long, slen
der stick on the floor in a parallel line
with the charcoal streak upon the saw
dust. Leave the bowl and room undis
turbed for a few hours, when it will be
seen that the floating line is no longer
in the same relative position to the
stationary one. The explanation given
of this is that the earth in its motion
carries the room and the bowl, but the
water, having a slight inertia, moves
more slowly, and revolves, as it were.

entirely successful, it is necessary that

A Fish with a Rnblier Corset.
There was recently a curious find in
the Cape Ann fish market, at Glou
cester, Mass. It was nothing less than
a mackerel with a rubber band aronnd
the body. The band had been put on
the fish when quite small, and stayed
there in spite of the rapid growth of
the wearer. The fish's body under the
band did not grow, which caused a de
pression in the full-grown body of
about three inches in depth. The de
pression was covered with a healthy
skin in no way unlike that on the rest
of the body. The fish measured in
length fourteen inches, diameter of
body each side of the depression, seven
and three-fourths inches, diameter of
depression, five inches. The fish was
undoubtedly in a healthy condition,
and the band was sound and could be
stretched like any other band. Forest
