I" A DOUBTFUL LULLABY.
l I hear in a room up stairs,
l She is singing a child to sleep,
’ As I come in unawares,
From the twilight soft and deep.
And over my heart it seems
There is stealing a thraldom new,
And into the land of dreams
I feel I am carried, too.
0! baby upon her breast, _
That she soothes in the room above,
The name of your dream is—rest;
The name of my dream is—love.
—Reba Gregory Prelat in Houston Post.
How Dimes Are Made.
The process of dime making is an interest-
one. The silver bullion is first melted and
run into two—pound bars. These in turn are
run through immense rollers and flattened
out to the thickness of the coin. These silver
strips are then passed through a machine
which cuts them into round discs of the ex-
act dimensions of the coin, ready for the
presses, the strips first having been treated
with a kind of tallow to prevent their being
scratched in their passage through the cut-
ters. The silver blanks are then put into the
feeder of the stamping presses, and are fed
to the die by automatic machinery at the
rate of 100 per minute-48,000 being turned
out in regular working days of twelve hours.
As the smooth blanks are pressed between
the ponderous printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in a manner
similar to that of paper pressed upon a form
of type; at the same time the piece is ex-
panded in a slight degree, by which the mill-
ing is formed on its rim. The machine drops
the completed coin into a receiver, and it is
ready for the counter’s hands. The instru-
ment used by the counter is not a complicated
machine by any means, as one might suppose.
It is a simple copper colored tray, having
raised edges running across the surface at a
distance about the exact width of a dime.
- From the receiver the money is dumped on
the board or tray, and as it is shaken rapidly
by the counter the pieces settle down into the
space between the ridges. All these spaces
being filled, the surplus coin is brushed back.
into the receiver, and the counter has exactly
1,250 silver dimes,.or $125, on the tray, which
number it requires to fill the spaces. The
tray is emptied into the boxes, and the money
is then ready for shipment. The dime does
not pass through the hands of the weigher, as
does the coin of a larger denomination. One
and one-half grains are allowed for variance
or “tolerance” in all silver coin from $1
down, and the deviation from the standard
in the case of the ten cent pieces is so trifling
that the expense of weighing the coin of this
denomination is dispensed with—Manufac-
tm'er and Builder.
Beans Three Times a Day.
“Whenever I tackle a plate of beans,” said
the advance agent as he leaned back in his
chair, “my alleged mind and memory revert
to a season I put in with a road show, other-
, wise a circus, traveling by wagon. One Sat-
l urday afternoon I dropped into a little town
called Saccarappa, in the state of Maine.
There was but one hotel in the place, and not
having the entree to the society columns, as
it were, I placed myself beneath its roof.
When supper time arrived I was seatedin
the dining room ere yet the coatless landlord
had ceased to agitate the hell that called the
victims to feed. The persecuted heiress that
piloted the provender asked me if I would
have tea. I realized the hopelessness of my
case, and said I would. She retired, reap-
peared, and placed before mea dish of hot
beans, 11. plate of bread and butter and a cup
of tea. '
“One Sunday morning I broke my fast
with a boiled potato, a cup of something, and
some cold beans. The midday meal was an
improvement, and consisted of a piece of
corned beef, boiled potatoes and baked
beans. For supper we had tea and cold
beans, and for breakfast Monday morning
dallied with a cup of something and a dish
of hot beans. When I left, I expressed my.
regret to the still coatless landlord that I had
not been able to enjoy the beans for which
his house was noted. If I live to be a thou—
», sand years old I’ll never forget the expres-
j sion on his face as he started back and said:
‘What! y’ didn’t git no beans? TV ell, by
gosh, I’ll see about that.’ ”—Oil City Bliz-
zard.
How a Toad Removes His Skin.
‘ It is safe to say but few people have ever
I been fortunate enough to catch a toad in the
‘ act of changing his skin.
i A man who professes to have been an in-
terested eye witness to such a transaction de-
scribes the novel operation as follows: I 0b-
,: served him pressing his elbows against his
sides and rubbing downwards. His move-
ments were so singular that I resolved to find
3 out, if possible, what he was up to. After a
. few smart rubs his skin began to burst open
j along his back. “Now,” said I, “old fellow,
"\ you have done it ;” but he appeared to be uno
l5 concerned, and kept on rubbing until he had
:1, worked his skin into folds on his sides and
:, hips; then, grasping one hind leg with his
l fore paws, he pulled the skin from the leg as
f» slick as a man would remove a pair of pants;
i then stripped the other hind leg in the same
l: w...
1, He next took the cast-off portion of his
cuticle and pulled it forward between his
3, forelegs until he could catch it in his mouth,
whereupon he forthwith began to swallow
it; then, by raising and lowering his head,
| swallowing as the head bent forward each
time, be stripped off the skin underneath
until it came to his forelegs. At this stage
. of the curious proceedings be grasped one of
the forelegs with the opposite paw, and by
I much pulling stripped off the skin; changing
hands, he stripped the other, and by a slight
motion of the head, all the time swallowing,
he drew it from the neck and swallowed the
whole. The entire operation occupied but a
few minutes of time—St. Louis Republic.
Marry a Gentleman.
It was excellent advice I saw lately given
to young ladies urging them to marry only
gentlemen or not marry at all. A true
gentleman is generous and unselfish. He re-
‘ gards another’s happiness and welfare as
l well as his own. You will see the trait rim-
ning through all his actions. A man who is
a bear at home among hissisters, and dis-
‘ courteous to his mother, is just the man to
: Void when you come to the great question
hich is to be answered yes or no. You
é, need. not die old maids. But wait until the
: prince passes by. No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to find him in the ball-
oom. Nor is he a champion billiard player.
~~ «.6 has not had time to become a “cham-
ion,” for he has had too much honest, earn-
-st, work to do in the world. I have always
bserved that these “champions” were seldom
:, , ood for much else. '
‘ Be wary in choosing, girls, when so much
at stake. Do not mistake a passing fancy
or undying love. Marrying in haste rarely
nds well. Do not resent too much the in-
-rference of your parents. You will travel
ng and far in this world before you will
. .d any one who has your true interest at
eart more than your father or mother.—

STORY OF THE BRACELET.
A TRINKET THAT HOLDS A R0-
MANTIC PLACE IN HISTORY.
One of the Most Ancient of Jewels—Its
Career in France—~Once Worn Upon the
Ankle As life]! as the Wrist—Forty-flve
Years Devoted to a Collection.
The Moniteur de la. Bijouterie et de l’Hor-
logerie deplores that its own government (the
French) permits valuable private collections
to be sold at auction and drift apart in this
manner, for the want of funds to acquire
them for the state. The English museums,
it says, more richly endowed than theirs,
hardly ever permit a chance to escape them
to buy whole collections; for instance, that
of Kensington, in London, has bought at a
high figure three or four hundred pieces of
rare jewelry, constituting a complete history
of the bracelet. The owner of this collection.
Sir Harris Grant, had spent forty-five yearsin
collecting it, and the London journals speak
of it in high praise. It was, a few years ago,
described in an (French) art review.
The history of the bracelet is a chapter of
the history of coquetry. It is one of the most
ancient of jewels. Among the Israelites, the
gold bracelet was used {like 'by the two
sexes; when J uda encounters Thamar, the
Latter asks in exchange of favors, his staff,
his ring and his bracelet. When Saul had
perished by his own sword,,a warrior despoils
him of the bracelets, with which his arms are
covered. “For the construction of the taber-
nacle,” it is said in the Exodus, “both men
and women offered their jewelry, among
which were quantities of rich bracelets.”
The Greeks and Romans also wore brace-
lets. After a time the latter abstained from
wearing them daily; they were conferred as
a mark of distinction, as a souvenir of some
great act, and the possessor guarded them
consequently as glorious decorations, and con-
tented himself with suspending them upon
his breast on days of ceremony and triumph
—-in the same manner as a general today
' ity of the'projectile is easily calculated.
wears his orders and insignias. In this man— .
ner the bracelet became the insignia of the
warrior. The plebeian classes, courtesans,
dancing girls and others wore them around
the wrists and ankles.
Our ancestors, the Gauls, were also great
lovers of the bracelet. At Pont-Audemer is
to be seen a magnificent gold bijou of this
kind, very finely worked. It is attributed to
the first part of the reign of the Merovin- :
glans.
At the commencement of the Sixth century
no trace is found of the bracelet in France. A
revolution has been effected in wearing ap-
parel as well as morals. Ladies’ wrists are
ornamented with large, colored silk cuffs, em-
broidered with gold and pearls. This fashion
ends with the Carlovingians. When was the
time that fashions prevailed longer than one
dynasty? Later on, ladies wore tight and
buttoned sleeves, terminating at the wrist; in
the Twelfth century, Jean de Garlands speci-
fies the works made by goldsmiths: hanaps
(large cups) of gold and silver; necklaces,
pins, knots and rings—but nothing is said of
bracelets. Finally, “manacles” were used;
they were a sort of bracelet composed of a
piece of stuff upon which jewels were sewn, ‘
until finally in the last half of the Fourteenth
century, the true metal bracelet appeared. It
seems that it was worn by gentlemen, al-
though secretly, as a kind of vow, a badge of
servitude which they pledged to the lady of
their thoughts.
The history of J ehan de Saintre, chamber-
lain of King Charles VI, and of the Lady des
Belles Cousines, bears witness to this. When 3
J ehan de Saintre vows eternal fidelity to his '
lady, she demands of him to constantly wear ,
an emblem of attachment. “On the first day
of May, which will be to—morrow,” she tells
him, “you will place a gold bracelet of some
kind or other On your left arm, and wear it
for a year.” Next day he comes with the
bracelet which he is to wear, and the lady
herself puts it on. From about that time this
piece of jewelry has been called “bracelet.”
From about the middle of the Fifteenth
century the bracelet becomes a distinctive
piece of ornament among French ladies. At
the time of the “Directoire” the women who
had adopted the fashion of wearing a robe a
la Romaine ornamented their arms with six
bracelets, three on each arm; one high up,
another above the elbow, the third at the
wrist. This is not all, however; they also
wore rings on all their fingers, including the
thumb; encircled their waist with a large
sheet as belt and wore large hoops in their
cars. A French lady dressed a la sauvage
(in a savage style), wore flesh colored tights,
over which was thrown a simple linen tu-
nique, gold hoops around her thighs and legs,
diamond rings on her toes, while on her feet
she wore sandals.
About 1830 bracelets assumed a great im-
portance, and ranked even with literature
and painting; in other words, they became
“romantic.” Although it may appear rather
bombastic to assign so high a place to a piece
of jewelry, nevertheless nothing will qualify
so well the artistic tendencies in this direc-
tion of the goldsmiths of that epoch. Brace-
lets appeared on the arms of ladies, composed
entirely of pointed arches, in the midst of
which ironclad warriors kept watch and
ward. It is easy to imagine the enthusiasm
with which they were received, being so
well in keeping with the tendency of the
people.
At present, finally, the fancy and caprice
of the day dictate to the jeweler the shape,
either new or copied from former ages, to be
given to their bracelets; sometimes a serpent
twisting itself around the wrist, gold hoops
with a long jewel, a chain, etc. The shapes
vary to the infinite at present, and many of
them are due to the ingenuity of our jewelry
designs. ——J ewelers’ Circular.
Blue Jay Nutters.
Mr. C. W. Bronk, of Moosic, while gather-
ing chestnuts in Spring Run, Pa, ravine, be-
came very much interested in the movements
of two busy blue jays. The birds were try-
ing to loosen chestnuts from the burrs on the
tree when he first noticed them, and after
awhile each blue jay flew away with a nut in
its bill. Presently both birds returned to the
tree, pecked among the limbs for a spell, and
then sailed away with two more nuts. Mr.
Bronk wondered whether the blue jays had
flown out of sight for the purpose of eating
the chestnuts in a more secluded spot, and
when they sailed back to the tree a few min-
utes later he secreted himself and let them
work unmolested.
He was where he could watch them, though,
and this time the busy birds, instead of pick‘
lug nuts from the tree, helped themselves to
the loose ones on the ground, flitted out of
sight again, and soon returned for more. Mr.
' Bronk kept still until after the birds had
flown back and forth for a dozen times or so,
and then he pitched in and got his share of
the nuts. But the blue jays kept coming and
going, carrying nuts in their bills at each
trip, and not appearing to remainlong enough
at the other end of the route to eat any of the
chestnuts Mr. Bronk finally lined the in-
dustrious birds to a maple tree several rods
distant in the woods, and saw them disappear
in a. hole of the trunk twenty-five feet from
the ground. On the following day he cut the
tree down, and. found five quarts of prime
chestnuts in the hollow trunk—New York
Sun.
Measuring the Velocity of a. Shot.
Suppose a wire to be stretched across in
front of the muzzle of the gun, and at a short
distance from it, this wire forming part of a
complete electric circuit, which includes also
an electric battery and an electro—magnet.
When the gun is fired this wire will be
broken, the circuit interrupted and the arma-
ture of the magnet released the instant the
projectile reaches the wire in its flight. Now
imagine a second wire stretched across the
path of the shot, at a point 100 feet in front
of the first one, with a similar arrangement
of battery, etc. The breaking of this second
wire by the flying projectile releases the
armature of the second magnet, and if the
interval of time between the release of the
two armatures can be determined. the veloc-
If
the projectile has a velocity of 2,000 feet per
second, and the wires are 100 feet apart, the
interval of time will be one-twentieth of a
second, and since it is necessary to know the
velocity of the shot to within a few feet per
second, an instrument capable of measuring
the time interval to within the five thou—
sandth part of a second is required; and the
instrument must also record its measurement,
since the mind cannot conceive, and much
less note, such a very brief period.
These exacting conditions are completely
fulfilled by the electric chronograph, an in-
strument embodying the two electro-xnag-
nets, together with a recording apparatus,
and the attachments for making necessary
adjustments, etc. The armature of the first
magnet is an iron rod about three feet long,
which is suspended in a vertical p::sition from
the core of the magnet. The breaking of the
first wirc releases this rod, allowing it to fall,
and when the second Wire is broken the arma-
ture of the second electro—magnet, which is
placed a short distance below the first, is also
released, operating a sort of knife which
strikes the side of the falling rod and makes
a cut or indentation, and shows exactly how
far the rod dropped while the shot was pass-
ing over the distance between the first and
second wires, and the corresponding interval
of time is readily computed from known laws
of falling bodies—Scribner’s.
Use Your Eyes Carefully.
Sit erect in your chair when reading, and
as erect when writing as possible. If you
bend downward you not only gorge the eyes
with blood, but the brain as well, and both
suffer. The same rule should apply to the use
of the microscope. Get one that will enable
you to look at things horizontally, not always
vertically.
Have a reading lamp for night use. N. B.
-—-In reading the light should be on the book
or paper and the eyes in the shade. If you
have no reading lamp turn your back to the
light, and you may read Without danger to
the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus; if that begins
to get far away get spectacles.
Avoid reading by the flickering light of the
fire.
Avoid straining the eyes by reading in the
gloaming.
Reading in bed is injurious as a rule. It
must be admitted, however, that in cases of
sleeplessness, when the mind is inclined to
ramble over a thousand thoughts a minute,
reading steadies the thoughts and conduces to
sleep.
Do not read much in a railway carriage. I
myself always do, however. only in a good
light, and I invariably carry a good reading
lamp to hook on behind me. Thousands of
people would travel by night rather than by
day if the companies could only see their way
to the exclusive use of their electric light.
Authors should have black ruled paper in-
stead of blue, and should never strain the eyes
by reading too fine types.
The bedroom blinds should be red or gray,
and the head of the bed should be toward the
window.
Those ladies who not only write, but sew,
should not attempt the black seam by night.
When you come to an age that suggests the
wearing of spectacles, let no false modesty
prevent you from, getting a pair. If you have
only one eye, an eyeglass will do; otherwise
it is folly. —Cassell’s Magazine.
Electricity in House Lighting.
The encroachment of electricity upon gas
in house lighting is increasing. More and
more private residences are being wired for
and lighted by electricity every day, and this
is the case more especially in small and grow-
ing towns than it is in large cities. Little
towns like Marshall, Tex., Vicksburg, Miss,
and the small towns of the far west are fall-
ing into line and availing themselves of every
fresh improvement that will increase the re-
turns from investment and enhance the worth
and reliability of the light itself. In the New
England states this condition of things today
obtains to a noticeable extent. . Science, com-
menting on the foregoing, very truly says:
The question now is how to distribute the
electricity with a fair profit on the invest-
ment. Among the methods making rapid
strides is that of the distribution of electricity
by means of the alternating current. The
very type of machine which the authorities
consider so dangerous to life will no doubt be
that which will eventually solve the problem
of universal electric house lighting. The cur-
rent in the outside mains is of a high press-
ure—1,000 volts or more, as the case may be.
This current is transformed by means of the
converter to a lower potential and carried
into houses at the safe and low pressure of
only 50 or 100 volts.
Parental Troubles.
Two swallows had built their nest under
the ceiling inside a carriage house the door of
which was always open. One day the owner,
in order to prevent the fowls from entering,
closed the gates in the absence of the parent
swallows, who were busily flying about for
food for their little ones in the nest. A trap
door leading to a garner above, the window
of which was always wide open, had been left
open on purpose to secure an entrance for the
birds, who presently returned, examined the
cracks of the doors and windows of the car-
riage house, but did not find the new en-
trance. The door wgs then opened and shut
after them as soon as uhey were inside. After
a very short time they found their way out
through the trap door and the garner win-
dow, but when they came back again they
did not take the matter quitqso calmly. For
a long time they fluttered about before they
ventured to fly into the windows and down
through the open trap door. At the end of
several hours, however, they saw it was the
only way to get to their brood and took to it
without any more hesitation. The fact that
they hesitated, adds the writer, is significant.
It shows that they were 10th to trust to the
new way before they Were sure that it was

The Negro in Massachusetts.
A Boston paper resurrects a- rather curious
bit of history to show that a colored man was
once elected to office in Massachusetts. This
occurred as far back as 1840, in the little
town of Townsend. At the town meeting
about twenty abolitionist: held the balance
of power, and would vote for neither party
candidate. Finally both Whigs and Demo-
crats got mad and united to elect a negro to
the legislature in order to punish the abo-
litionists. But though elected, the negro did
not take his seat. Public sentiment would
not allow him to do so. Townsend went un-
represented in the legislature that yearn—At-
lanta Constitution.

The Minister’s Mistake.
I heard a story the other day about a mis-
take made by a prominent divine whose
name is as well known in Brooklyn as that
of Dr. Talmago. The reverend gentleman
had occasion to spend a few days in asub-
urban town on the line of the Long island
rOad. He went to the depot to take the train
for this city, and there met a member of his
congregation, a lady well known in social
circles here. The lady had a valise and a
small package which rested on the floor of
the waiting room. Beside them were several
small crocks of preserves. As the train came
in the gallant divine took the valise and pack-
age and preserves and placed them in the
seat he had found for the lady, and then oc-
cupied the seat in front. At one of the sta-
tions an agent came in and displayed a dis-
patch notifying him that the preserves had
been stolen and the thief was on board the
train. The reverend gentleman was natu-
rally much confused. He explained that he
thought they belonged to the lady, while she
in turn thought they belonged to him. There
was considerable laughing on board the train
when the facts became known. The rever-
end gentleman paid the cxpressage back on
the preserves which he had unintentionally
stolen—Brooklyn Citizen.
"Old Hunks" arid rue Beauty.
She was an “awfully pretty” girl, with
dark curly hair; eyes that laughed all the
time, and she carried her hands in her jacket
kets in a way that caused every one on
the street car to admire her. A big hunk of
humanity sat on the end of the seat and com-
pelled a lady and two little girls to crawl
over him to be seated. But pretty little Miss
independence didn’t propose to do any crawl-
ing. When he refused her modest request to
“please move over,” she just commenced to
crowd him along by forcing her way into the
seat at the side of the car.
The other passengers watched the unequal
and unusual contest with interest. Old
Hunks sat still and Miss Independence con-
tinued to crowd him. At last he discovered
that the people were laughing at him, and
were evidently in sympathy with the plucky
girl. He finally moved along and she drop-
ped into the seat with a sweet “Oh, thank
you ever so much, sir 1"
Old Hunks couldn’t stand the laugh at his
expense. He left the car at the next cross—
