The a horrible reptiles were carried both P in the hands and in the -mouth. The 0 writer says it was a loathsome sight to see a long file of naked men carrying tl these sinuous monsters between their at teeth and traraping around a long circle W to.tlbe accompaniment of a funeral dirge ad 'nonotonous chanting. Afte a snake had boon thus carried once around the f circle it was deposited in a sacred lodge si ,f.. cottonwood saplings, - covered with o buffalo robes, and its place taken by an- P )ther. Thtis it was not hard to <ircu- M ate the number used, which was not far U )no way or another from a hundred, e ather ovr than under, and one-half the ti iumber being rattlesnakes. When In- et lians got to carrying live rattlesnakes fc bout in their mouths, we do not hesitate n pronounco them equal to almost any l imergency.

Rome in erfer and by this act simply irritated the invaders, who marched against the " Empress of the World." A battle was rought and the Romans were defeated. Rome was now practically at the mercy Df the Gauls. The Senate had not enougn men left 'after the battle to defend the "Eternal City," and so they threw all t) the men capable of bearing arms into I Lhe Capitol, and sent away all useless 0 moptlhs; the old men and women andaJ h shikren took refuge in the neardst cities. Ihere remained in :Rome only a few poutiffs iwdrancient Ejenators, who, not being willing to survive either their 3ountry or its glory, generously devoted ffiemseives to death, to appease, accord- h ing to their belief, the anger of the in- g. Fernal gods. These were found by 51 Breinnus, and for a time their splendid i hiabite, their white beards, their air of ti granideur and firmness astonished the~ 0 tmuls and inspired a religious fear in ai the army. Finally, however, the Gauls g: massacred the Senators, and all who r( had not escaped were slaughtered, and l then they attacked the Capitol. While o~ the Gauls plundered the city, the coun. n try round was recover~ng from its defeat. I Camillus was chosen lender of'the lo- e mans, 'and while the Gauls were revel- I ing they attacked the invaders and fi killed'mxany of them. Oamlluis was proclaimed the savior of his country, ' but lie i-efused to do anything as their a loader without the order of the Senate f' and the people shut up in the Capitol. ti It was almost imp~ossile to gain access to them. A young Roman, however, a Jhad the hiardihood to undertake tisH t perllous enterprise, and was sucsfl a Camillus was deohared Dictator, and a collected a large army. 'The Gauls had c discovered the traces loft by the young Roman, and Brennus attempte during the night to surprise the Capitol by the ti same path. After many efforts, a few a succeeded in gaining the summit of the ~ rock, and were on the point of sealing the walls ; the sentinel was asleep aind nothing seemed to oppose them. Srome ' geese, consecrated to Juno, were awak- a ened by the noise mode by the enemy, and began to cr as they do when g they are disturbed Maulius, a person n of consular rank, ran to the spot, en countered the Gauls and hurled several from the rock. The Romans were roused ~ and the enemy were driven back ; and ultimately were defeated in op en battle r by 0amillus, whoh has been called Rome's , second founder.--hicago Inter Ooean, i Theory of Luminous Paint. Light is supposed to be the vibration t fan extremely elastic fluid called ether, < which is supposed to fill the whole of ' space, and which set in motion by the ~ vibration of the luminous source itself, < produces upon our eyes the sensation of ( light. Now, it is thought that the waves e of light communicate their motionm to i the particles of paint, which start into i energetic vibration, continning long af- t ter the exciting cause is withdrawn. E When we ring a bell the blow of the hammer communicates its motion to the 3 particles of the bell, which start into i action, imparting their motion to the I particles of air, which transfer the vibra- I tions to the drum of the ear and produce 4 the sensation of mound, which grows fainter and fainteor, until at last it dies I away, when the particles of the bell are 1 once more at rest ; so it is with the lumn- < inous paint and all other phosphorescent a bodie, the p articles of which, when dis- I turbed by the waves of ether, yield light I for a timeo, which decreases in brilliancy as the particles grow less andl lessR; they,: too, like the particles of a bell, retini're I periodical renewals of the force that af-| or e ther moion Antiquity of the Eartt. Theblgians of every sect and creed ad persistent.Y tatight that only oiome ,000 years had elapsed since the earth ang into being The suggestion of a gteiater antiquity was received with storm of theological opposition, which nderwent little abatement during half 6entury, and of which even yet the rouId-s*ell may occasiohally be felt in mie of the dak recesses of ignorant tinds. The majority of those who used the storm were the social or pro. sional ancestors of these who now like iuanner, oppose the doctrine ol rolution; but the change which has )md over the latter races of combatants itself some proof evolution affects the lnds of men, whatever it may do to eir bodies. Fifty years ago the full >roe of an anathematizing odium theo giom burst upon the heads of the sailed geologists, with a violence hap ily -nknown among the opponents of rolution. Then, as now, the represen Ltives of geological science explained .the world the grea. facts upon which eir conclusions were based. Then i now, myriads of men were in doubt hether to resign themselves to the dership of geologists or of the theo gians. But those who ranged them ilves under the banner of Cuvier, Lyell ldSedgwick ultimately found them slves on the victorious side. One by ie the thieologians laid down their vitu Brative weapons. The late Dr. Clial ers early accepted the geological creed. ir. Pye Smith received the fellowship !the Royal Society for his well-meant ideavor to reconcile the Mosaic narra ve with the writings of the geologists, wrning some hard names from the do nders of the orthodox camp for his sup Dsed abandonment of their holy cause. [eanwhile, the geological bt.teries made 6d breaches in the defenses of that camp. late Dean of York valiantly confronted ke assailing hosts when assembled in is cathedral city. Singly he faced his >se like a new oratius, but speedily ill beneath the sharp arrows of Sedg ick's biting eloquence. The last Hy atian geologist who strove to restore t ying faith was Young, the clerical au ior of the " Geological Survey of the 'orkshire Coast." Hle, like the Dean fted up his warning voice in a geologi-. al section of the British Association yr the Advancement of Science, but in ain. Even a Julian could not have re bored the ancient belief, and Young was ot a Julian.

The growing reputation of American ianufactures in the markets of the rorld has alarmed competitors ab~road. Vhatever Americans undertake, whether be machine tools, cutlery, silks, flour, otton cloth, or any other merchandise, hey make, their brands the leading nes, selling for the most money, and iniversally sought after. The reasons or this are plain. It is not on account f the better and more direct processes mployed; it is not by discarding work hop traditions and old time methods ; b is not by such adventatious aids that ye have achieved so great an eminence hat our trade marks are counterfeited nd foreign goods are represented as of Imerican make. It is because our aanufactures have found that mercan ile honesty is the only policy, and that rhen they attempt to adulterate or lower he standard the criticism of competitors ixposes them at once. American machine tools of first class nakers are not cut in weight or in work anahip. It is a race to see who shall Liscover a weak part that can be made tronger, or a detail exposed to wear hat can be made more durable. The amne is true of cotton goods and silos. rhe senseless weighting of both with Ldulterants of one kind or another is iot practriced here, for experience eaches our people tyit the best is the thapnet. --Mechantcal Engineer. The Postin g Repo'ter. Once a Chicago editor sent a wild and tntutored son of the West, who wore his hair short and chewed plug tobacco, to an Eastern city to report a big, horeso raco. Before the reporter . went away the editor told hip'to lopk sharp .when he got to the horse race, bebause there would be a lot of awfully smattreporters there from Now York and Boston, and it would V) great spart for them to " scoop " friendleas and inexperienced young men from the West." So the re porter said he would try to kecp up with the procession, and went away. When he got to the horse race he miet a great many other reporters, one of whom was from Boston. This reporter was very cultured, but he didn't know a seAdping boot from an overhend-check, and that is really the kiid of culture that a mian needs when he is writing about a horse race. The Bl3oeton reporter was very kind to the Chicago reporter and told him what a great city Boston was, and how smart a young -man had ' to be before he could become a rdporter there, and the Chicago reporter took anothei chew of plug tobaceo and winked to himself. The BostonA reportyrsked the Chicago reporter if he had roaid Emner son's works, find tho Chicago reporter said he hadn't-he had see h Pinafore." Then the Boston reporter said: " Really, you aetonish me,"' and wont away to drink some Deep Rock water and smoke a cigarette. Then the Clhi ongo reporter laughed heartily, and said in the reckless Wahaslnh avetie way "I wonder if that dIk - thikS I am ' a sucker that he can play on the en 1* of a string, 1 should twitter that lie will get left if he does." So he hunted up three other reporters and said to them: " Let's paralyze the gawk from ChicagG.' The other reporters wore wiliug, iid so they all wrote very long accounts of the races, going right from the track to the telegraph office, but the Boston reportei he went to his hotel and had supper, and then lie went to his room, telling the clerk to send up a messenger boy about midnighut. When the boy came the Boston reporter gave him a long dispatch, but when it reached the tele graph office theiro wis so much other matter ahead of it that the wires wore blockaded until four o'olock in the morn ing, and by that time it wvas too late to get a dispatch to B1oston in time f)r the paper.-Chicago Tribune. Belshazzar and Ills Brother Bill. Belshazzar Smith had a very bad and very dangerous habit of walking in his sleep. His family feared that during one of his somnambulistic saunterings he would charge out of the window and kill himself, so they persuaded him to sleep with his little brother William, and to tie one end of * rop0 around his body, and the other around little Wil liam. The very first night after this arrange ment was made, Belshazzar dreamed that a burglar was pursuing him with a dagger. So he crept over to-William's side of the bed, stepped over William's slumbering .form, jumped out on the floor, and slid under the bed. He stayed there a while, and then his night mare having changed, he emerged upon the other side of the bed, and got under the cover in his old place. The rope, it will be observed, was be neath the bed; and it was pulled taut, too. Early in the morning, Blelshazzar, about half awake, scrougcd over against William. To his surpriseo, the move ment jerked William clear out of bed. Belshazzar leaped out to ascertain the cause of the phen~fomelnon, and at the same time his brothier disappeared under the bed. Belshazzar, hardly awake, was scared, and he dived beneath the bed steadl; as he did so, he heard William skirmishing across the blankets above his head. Once more he rushed out, just in time to see William glide over the other side. Belshazzar just then be came sufficiently conscious to feel the rope pulling on him. He comprehended the situation at once, and disengaged himself. Perhaps little William was not mad. He was in the hosprital, undergoing re p airs, for about three weeks, and when he came out he had a strange desiro to sleepl alone. B~elshlazza~r anchors himself to an anvyl now.-Argqonaut. The Dilsclpline of Drudgery. A "liberal edn'cation" is a capital thing, and the thousands of young meni who are now honored with the title of A. B. are to he conlgratulateQd upon the god fortune tha~t has peormitted them to acquire the mental disciplinie resulting from a four years' course of academic studly. But these young men must not make the mistake of supposing that this disciplhine is an all-suffieient preparation for the higher callings of life. That is, the young men who purpose to enter any of the branchespof professional life, for instance, must not Imagine that the fact of their having a college educat ion will permit them to leap to the top rung of the hlder at once. The discipline they have is valuable, but chiefly so as the basis for the acquirement of practical knowledge, without which success is im p~ossib~le. By p~ractical knowledgo we mean acquaintance with the minutim or lit tle details that go to make up all oe enipations. Such knowledge a college eduntion cannot give and is not intendled to give. It is only to be acquired1 by patient application. The discipline of the coillege curriculum must he supple mentedl by another kind of discipline, nmely, the discipline of drudgery. No one(, how0ee largely endowed with mental powar, can be exemipted from the necessity of acquiring this discipline. It. is fpr more essential to success than Ihe dliscilhine furnished by a college coursa. --New Havsn Aalladium The Native Miehigander. The native Michigander is a good fel low at heart, but he has his ecoentrioi ties. " Yes, I struck this State over Afty ,)ears-ago," he said to me the other even ing, as he hunted in his hind pocket for his plug tobacco.

T'imes~ give;, a die Peription of -glove nmnufacture in a towni near Troy as follows: In .this factory nearly all the stock uisedi is imp~ortedl from France. The kison arrivin~g at tiue factory are first p~ut through a process of "'shaving," whielb is one with a b~road1 chisel, and all the imperfec*t parts of thme leather are cuit off. TheIm skins are then taken to the tablo cuitting (-roomi, whe re thirty cutters are~ emnployed in cutting the skins into (,olng pieces, after which they are sent to thme "s-litting " room, where . the fin gers are cut and the gloves are ready for the sewing-machines. Thence we fol low them to the making room, where ninety steam sewing-machines, run by wVomIen, are kept b usy stitching e Bsams, and twenty othor women are en galged( working button-holes and putting onI buttonsR. The gloves are now ready for the "laying off " room, where a numberI~r of long..hollow forms, like ont stretclhed handls, are stood upright from a table. If one were in need of a good warm shake of the hand, he could be accommodaited here, for each of these hollow forms is filled with Bteam), and gives the gloves that peculiar shape they have before being worn. Another room in thme " sorting-room"' where the vari 01u5 colors and siaes are fitted for the market. In thte stretching process is a poculiar sewing-machine which does the b~eautifulh over stitching of the seams. In this faotory over 200 hands are employed and about seventy-five dozen pairs of gloves made dlaily. The glove cutters average from $75 to $90 per month in wages, and the makers (women) fromi $30 to $40 per month. A beautiful glove is now being made called the mosquetaire, from imported Inocha skins, but dressed in the village, which is b~etter than any imported glove, and the daiy seems to be coming when American gloves will be known as superior to all other makes. The skins used will out on average about two pairs of gloves. Nmnw YORKc claims 75,000 self-supjlort I ina g w'ien.
