WORKING IN THE DARK.

Tb« difficulties under which coal
mining operations were carried oa be-
fora tha aclautlat Davy bad Invented his

In many tlmaa tha ouly alternative the
mediaeval miner bad to pltob darknaoo

Work tu almost complete darkness until
Sir Humphry Davy by bla remarkable
Invention enabled him to light his way
through the tunnels ha bad excavated
with comparative safety.
Agricola, an aatbor who wrote about
the atlddle of the sixteenth century,
haa left an elaborate treatise on eoal
mining as It waa practiced during the
middle agee. From this we learn that
the horse gin, which survlvsa to the
present day in some of the mining dis-
tricts of Great Britain and northern
Bo rope, was the engine chiefly em-
ployed both for lifting tho coat and for
getting rid of the water. Thla latter
object waa also sometimes effected by
means of pumps turned by wlndinlll*
or by tunnels driven with great labor
to an outlet at a lower level.

There exlet in parts of Islam many

one of the most celebrated Is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish ua. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even Indefinite mul-
tiplication of the bodies of holy per-
sons without their veneration for each
of the remains being diminished in the
least It is worth noting that the na-
ture of the honorary qualifications ac-
corded to the same saint varies in dif-
ferent countries. Thus, for example,
Daniel has at Cairo the name of Neb-
bi-Daniel—that Is, they give him the
title orf prophet, as being at the same
time that which suits him best and Is
the most honorable they can confer. In
Algeria or Morocco—feudal countries—
the title they give to saints is sldi.
which slgnlfiss lord, which Is also the
title there of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia tbey give to
thoae canonised parsons whom tbey re-
spect most as to the prophet Daniel,
the title of khodja, which means In
Arabic writer or lettered.

aat why parsons should not ksep theft

Maltla« Marble Oat of Chalk.
In nature marble Is made out of
chalk by water which percolates
through the chalky deposit* dissolve*
the chalk particle by partlea and
crystallises It mountain pressure solid-
ifying It It has been found that simi-
lar results may bo aooompllshed by
chemical mean* First slices of chalk
are dipped to a color bath, staining
them with ttota that will imitate any
kind of marble know*. For thla pur-
pose the same mineral stains are used
as are employed to nature. For oxam-
pl* to produce counterfeit "verde an-
tique" oxide of copper la utilised. In
like manner green, pink, block and
other colorings are obtained. Next the
chalk alloss go Into another both, by
which they are hardened and crystal-
lised coming out to all intents and
purposes real marble.
A Good Poller.
The Dry Goods Economist says of
one star* with which It is familiar:
"Every employee In It seems to be
good natured. Why should there bo
any difference In this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True, but
there is a difference. The proprietor
of this store is not only a merchant,
but a gentleman. He treata hla ern-
ployees with marked courteay and con-
sideration. As a consequence tbey
feel so kindly disposed toward bim and
his business that their good will la re-
flected to their treatment of hla cus-
tomers." Some storekeepers never find
out why It la that so few of tbelr
casual customers become regulars.

It Is an object lesson In godliness to
see a surgeon washing bis bands after
performing an operation, says tbe Chi-
cago Chronicle. He works of course
with sleevds rolled up to the elbow, so
that tbe waahlng extends from tbe cra-
xy bone to tbe tip of the finger nail.
First there Is a hurd scrubbing with
plain soap and sterilized water. This Is
followed by a swabbing with tincture
of green soap and sterilized water.
Then comes a genuine scouring with
equal parts at qulcklltlo and soda In
sterilized water and finally a rinsing in
a solution {l to 2,000) of bichloride of
mercury. Without these four separate
washings no surgeon would think of
venturing out to scatter germs of dis-
ease.

A FEAST THAT PAILEO.
It la within the memory of many
people that the custom of schoolteach-
ers "boarding around" waa the usual
thing to country dlstrtcta. Although
a custom which teachara eeldom liked.
It Is doubtful If many of them bad aa
hard a time as a young schoolmaster
who described his experience to the
New England Galaxy for 1817. The
article waa written by Leonard Ap-
tborp, then an undergraduate of Bow-
doln college. Tbe young schoolmaster
was to reasive 113 a month and hla

From the first day I psreslesd Chat
I was at board on speculation and at

tbey called a pudding, and five San-
aa ge* which in cooking shrunk to the

oa at labia.
A few day* afterward, on, my return
from school, my ey*s were delighted
by tbe sight of an animal t had after
seen before It waa a raccoon which
tlie young man, Jonathan, had killed
and brought home to triumph. When
sktaned. he seemed to he one satire
mass of tat and of a moat AsHcate
whit an ass, I waa overjoyed and went
to bed early to dream of delicious
steaks which the morrow wanld bring.
Long before daylight I heard tbe
family stirring, and the alacrity of
quick footsteps and tbe repeated open-
ing end shutting of doors all gave as-
surance of the coming holiday.
I waa soon ready for breakfast and
when seated at table I obeerved that
tbe place of Jonathan waa vacant
"Where ta Jonathan?" I asked.
"Gone to market" said they.
"Market! What market pray? I
did not know there was any market
In these parts."
"Oh. ye*" they said, "be ta gone to
, about thirty miles to tho south-
ward of us."
"And what has called him up so
early to go to market?"
"He Is gone," said they, "to sell his
raccoon."
