Uil Method of Xewing Thein on mand the -A1amenaun.. neountered. (Now York Graphie. I Did 7ou ever see a man in the solitude anl.privaot of his study attempt to sew on a button by himself ? It is, in all its details, one ol the most interesting per formaces-in the! world.. First he hunts for a bUtton. Generally,.to secure it, be robs Peter to pay Paul, and cuts from another garment This button may be much larger or. niuch smaller than the size he is wearing. Next he hunts a needle. Probably he goes out and buys a paper of needles. He always chooses the largestneedles, having an Impression that large needles will sew stronger than small needles.. As to thread, he gets the coarsest he. can find, and this he doubles. He'would thread his needle. He takeE his big needle in one hnd and his coarse black thread in the other. He bites ofl the thread to a desired length. Then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Gener. ally in this he succeeds in making two, and sometimes three, fine points out of one. Ond. Of course he can't get all these fine points through the needle's eye at once. Hrie hard to make that needle and thread get on friendly terms with each other, but they won't. They don't want to get acquainted. They do not wish. to have anything to do with each other. Sometimes it is the needle that kicks; sometimes the thread. Some times he imagines he hea really threaded his needle. It is an ocular delusion. The thread has missed the needle's eye by half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood. ,At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries to sewv the but ton on without taking h'is trousers off. This proves a failure. He twists him self into an uncomfortable position, and so would sew. But lie can't sew so. He runs the needle into himself, and the contrary thread always insisting in foul ing or in doubling around the next but ton. Then one p art of the doubled thread won't work harmoniously withi the other part. One part draws through the button's eye first and leaves the other part behind. Then it gets hitched up, and the embassador swears. Or the needle breaks. And then he swears. Ho may not swear audibly. But the re cording angel knows what is going on Inside of him, and debits him with every item. He sews hard. fle has forgotten all about the necessity for a thimble. He jams his thumb downi on the needle's head and it punctures his thumb or runs under the nail. By and by lie sews the button's eye full of thread. His big needle won't pass through any more. He must stop. He ends by winding the thread as many times as it will go under the button. And perhapshe leaves off with two or three inches of thread stick ing outside. A woman can, through many outward indication., tell when a man has been trying to sew on a but ton. He doesn't know the shibboleth of needle and thread, and it catches some where every time. At last the button is sewed on and he is nroud of his work. Human Progress. It is said that there is a certain fixed amount of cruely in every society, and that the only difference is the form in which It is expressed. Where people, for example, who are kind to saniraals, are frequently unkind, or at least not sympathetic, with those of their own kind. Tho venerable Henry Bergh, of New York, is charged with being willing to sacrifice the health and comfort of his own species to that of the quadrupeds he champions, The philanthropist that devotes his time to aleviating the wrongs of mankind is often accused of neglecting his family and ullowitig them to suffer, while the oold, selfish, cross, grasping, hard moneymaking man of the world, is at home an affectionate husband and a tender father. Whether this be true or not, it is i a degree confirmed by the apparent advan4oe in humianity already mnade at Yale College.

A most res table jury--every one of them a A50 eeholder-was impanelod at Olonmel, Ireland to try a most im portant question. buring the course of the trial the learned Judge had to retire for half an hour, promising to be back on the expiration of that time. Th. Judgo then retired, and so did the jurors. In some time aster, one of the jurors re turned, and stated in op en court, to an astonished audience, that he had been to a christening, drank the child's health a speedy uprise to its mother, and that her son might be a much better man than its papa. This caused so much surprise that those who heard it re mained silent. He asked a learned coun sel to give him the song called "The Low-backed Car." At this request the learned gentleman shook his head. The uror then said, " You won't, won't you? Then I'll do it myself;" and so he did in excellent style, and concluded amid the bravos of a crowded court. He then made a speech on the duties of a pater nal Government, and acquitted himself with equal credit, and was vociferously applaudcd. He then dAmandad that the Judge should be sent for; and, this de mand not being acceded to by the crier, he stood up and called the learned Judge to come into court, on a fine of ?50. This he did three different times, and in the usual way. He then declared that as the Judge did not come he wouldn't wait-he Phould go back to the christen mng; and he accordiligly left the jury box, and finally the court. In about half an hour ho returned, and, not see img the Judge on the bench, he com menced sigmg "Rory O'More," after which he stepped into the jury-box, re suming his seat among lis fellows, who appeared quite " glum" at his an tie; but he, seeming not to mind the wry faces of his brethren, began to hum a song. He then tried what he could do at the Kent bugle, and succeeded to admira tion; but, just as lie had concluded a splendid solo, the learned Judge made his appearance at the corner of the bench, where he stood listening, in mute. astonishment, to the music of the special juror, who was equally astound ed when he heard the cry of " Hats off! Bet leasetd to keep silence 1" In the meantime something was said to the Judge, who good-naturedly adjournied the court for the further hearing of the case until the following morning. Good Manners. Perhaps good manners are not good morals, though the time was when the words morals and manners amounted to pretty much the same thing. When the New Testament was trans lated into English, in 1611, it taught its readers, and still teaches us, that "evil communications corrupt'good manners." And the reviaers of 1880 have left the good manners to stand, changing only communications into complany. So I .have very high authiority for saying that what I am driving at mn this I etter has something to do with the basis of char acter. A bad man may .have the hand somest manners, the manners of a gen tlemnan, and thereby the more thoroughly fitted to work all manner of mischief with greediness. He is a hypocrite in the world, as one who merely pretends to be a saint is a hypocrite in the church. But the beginning, middle, and end of good manners may be condensed into the divinely given principle of preferring others to ourselves ; denying self for the happiness of another ; rendering to everyone his due, as superior, inferior, or equal. If mothers form the manners of the children, they should feel the burden of responsibility. They may permit the monwaywardness of the child to go uncheclied, while ho grows to be a pert, saucy, forward, disagreeable, dreadful boy, a terror to the neighborhood, and a nuisance to everybody but his doting mamma. She gives him a stick of candy when a stick of something not so sweet would do him more good. She coddles him into a curse that by and by will come upon her own head. Just as the twig, etc. Blood is great, and blessed are they who are well born. But moreI than blood, better than pedigree, is cul ture. Train up a child in the way he sjhould go. He will go in it then. Tench him to respect those who are older than him self ; to rise up before the aged. 3Eneas was pious, because ho honored his father. It is a long way toward godli ness to obey one's parents. And happy is the parent a~nd happy the child when love is returned with love. The Good Dish Humans Make. The cit'tibals have long since decided that in the delicacy of both flavor and textuir, " long pig"' is far superior to "shor[ pig," and when asked how he hiked children Charles LamN said he liked them " boiled." It is well known that tigers and lions prefer human flesh to all other, and will leave off eting cest tie and sheep toc pull down a man. A cnrious confirmation of this is the pref erence which tigers allow to monkeys, whicoh, according to Dgwin, are but a below the human race. Tigers lepadsare very fond ofth' th sak of the dele 4~l 4und trees TeShe Pope T e is a story, now generally re ed as fabulous that a female named Ia (others say bilberta or Aghes) Of En lish desoent, bt born in Ingelheim, or ains, Germany, fell In lqve with a young Benedictine monk named Pelda, and in order to be admitted Into the Monastery of Fulda, where he was oslo tered, assumed male attire. She after ward went with him to Athens, where he died while they were pursuing their studies. Soon after this she went to Rome, where her great learning brought her into distinction, and from a success ful career as a professor she was elected by general consent of the college of Cardinals to be the successor of Pope Leo IV., who died A. D. 885. Others say she was the immediate successor of Pope Adrian II who died A. 'D. 872. Her title was 9pe John VIII; a title which in the Roman Notizie, or official calendar of the Roman pontiffs, is as cribed to a different person. It is further related of this "female Pope " that she administered the pontifical office with great ability until her sex was discovered by her giving birth to a male child dur ing the excitement and fatigue of a pro cession to the Lateran Palace, which was quickly followed by her death, some say puerpdral fever, while other narra tives declare that she -was stoned t< death.- Dr. Dollinger has written ar elaborate analysis of the varions stories in regard to this personage, going tc show quite clearly that she was a medie val fiction yet it cannot be denied the belief in ie veritable existence of the pontificate of Joan was general through out the Catholic Church from thirteenth to the fifteenth century, and was not discredited under the Reformation, when it was made use of by the Protestants to scandalize the papacy. Dollinger says she was first mentioned by Chron icler Stephen do Bourbon, who took his information, he thinks, from the chron icle of the Dominican, Jean do Maily, no copy of which is now known to be in existence. He attributes the origin of this scandal upon the infallibility of the Poapacy to a grudge nourished againsi the popes on account of the perscutioni inflicted particularly by Pope Benedic VIII. on the monksi of the Domican anO Minorite orders. Certain it is that goo Catholics at one time had such faith ii the existence ofePope Joan, or John that they placed in the Cathedral o Sienna, along with those of the othe popes, a bust. of the popess, with the in sciption, "John VIII., a woman fron England:" and this statuo held its plac without serious objection on the part C priests or people, until the beginning c seventeenth century. The " Holy Ohair is the chair used in the enthronement c the'popes. The tradition that the for! of this chair is due, in a certain particu Jar, to the fraud said to have been poi petratod by Joan, is now treated by lifi torians as a vulgar flction.-Ohioap Intec-Ocean. French Soldiers. Most people who see that 286,004 y'eung men are brought forward annu ally for military service in France attaci an exaggerated significance to this larg< number. As a matter of fact, not one, third of thorn go just now into the ranks for five years' service. Out of every 10C of these youths, seventeen servo only foi a year or for six months, twenty-four are exemp~ted for family or educational rea sons, five or six are set aside for auxil iary service because of minor bodily de fects, nine extra small and weak make are put back for twvo years, and twelve are declared totally untit for service. Thus we have the significant facot that the large proportion of twenty-seven per cent, of the young men of France are, at the age of twenty, more or less phys.. ically 1mutted for military service. The stad~dard of education may be judged from the fact that one in every seven re cruits can neither read nor wvrite. Ten years ago the proportion of the illiterate wvas about one in five, and fifty years ago it was fifty per cent. As to hight--or rather the want of it-thity-six per cent, of the recruits are betweeni five feet and half an inch (the minimum army hight) and five feet four inches ; and the gen< eral average is less than five feet flye inches. The Nose andl the Face. A somewhat singular fact has been observed with reference to the shape of the nose, or rather the setting of it in the face, so to speak. To be strictly correct, from the artist's point of view, the nose should be accurately in the middle of the face, and at right angles with a line from the p~upil of one eye to that of the other. As a matter of fact, it is rarely or never thus placed ; it is almost invariably a little out of the " square," and the fact of its being so is often that 'which lends a peculiar expression and piguancy to the face. A medical writer pomnts out that there are anatomical reasons why a slight devia tion from the true central line may be expected, an:1 that the nose which is thus accurately straight between the two eyes may after all be considered an abnormal one ; the only absolutely true and correct organ b~eing, in fact, that which deviates a little to the right or Left. ~Phrenolonicial Journat. -A Cat's Angry Passions.
