Some years ago four men, who were em- ployed in cleansing a COMMOW sewer at a place called Noyon, in France, upon open- ing drain, were so affected by the feted vapors that they were unable to ascend. The lateness of the hour (it was 11 o'clock at night) rendered it difficult to procure assistance, and the delay must have proved fatal had not a young girl, a servant in the family, with courage and humanity that would have done honor to the more) elevated station, at the hs wed of her own life, at- tempted their deliverance. This generous gir/, who was only 17 years of age, was, at her own request, let down several times to the poor men by a rope. She was so fortunate as to save two of them pretty easily, but, in tying the third to the cord, which svas let down to her for the purpose, she found her breath failing and wee in great danger of 'suffocation. In this dreadful situation she had the presence of mind to tie herself by the heir to the rope and was thus drawn up Minot expiring with the poor man in whose behalf she hed so fiumanely exerted herself. The instant she recovered she insisted upon being let down again, but her exertions this time failed of succese, for the third unfortun- ate man was drawn up dead. The corpor- ation of the town a Noyon, as a smell token of their approbation, presented the heroine with 640 livres and conferred on her the civil crown. with a medal, engraved with , the arms of the town, her name and a nar- tattoo of the action.

The same spirit kept the gentian of elevators for the tower open uutil every other expedieet had been tried, and reeourse to an American firm was absolutely neon. eery. A. whimsical story was told me the other day about the effort to abut the Eng. litb firm out of the competition for worklog the cplored fountain display, Week after week the contracts which had been eter belly promised the Eoglieh company were delayed, after they had been fairly won, and at lasb it was announced that there would be another competition, conducted on slightly alfferent linemveltieb necessiteted rearrang- ing the vviime plant.

At night, when the new competition carae on, the Englieh had set everything right and gave a better display than ever, while the Frenchmen broke down with grotesque completeness at the outset Taus it was that the E3glieh finally got their contract. Wet& Screws. It is asserted that the smallest maws in the world are tbose used in the production of watches. Thus, the fourth jewel -wheel screw is the nese thing to being invisible, and to the naked eye it; looks like duet; with a glass' however, it is seen to be a small ecrew, with260 threads to the inch, and with a very tine glass the threads may be seen quite clearly. These minute screws are 41000th, of an inch in diameter, and the heads axe double; it is also estimated that an ordinary lady's thimble would hold 100,- 000 of these mem. No attempt is ever made to count them, the method pursued in deter. mining the number being to place 100 of them on &very denote balance, and the number of the whole amountis determined by the vreight of these. After being cut, the screws are hardened and pub in frames, heads up, this being done very rapidly by sense of touch in- stead of by sight and the heads are then polished in an automabic machine, 10,000 at a time. The ydette on which the polishing is performed le covered with oil and a grinding compoand, and on this the machine moves them ramie ly by revereigmation. D idn't: ememb er the -Name.

The Boy Had the Best of it, The master of a school in a certain -village bore the reputation of being a very clever calculator; but upon, one =lesion he almost forfeited his reputation. The rector of the parish and some friends paid a visit to the school to note the progress of the children. A little rogue of whom no question had been asked, and who had therefore missed the opportunity for distingushing himself, which he greatly desired, made up his mind to question mince he was not questioned, "Mast- er," he Raid, "will you do me the kindness to answer me something ? "Ask whatever you please," replied the master; "you know I always tell you to ask anything you do not know. He who aeks mama no mistakes." "My father is three times my age. Will the time ever come when he will be double mine ?" "That is not a Ow tion," said the master; "it is a joke. To bring that about the dock must stop for him and go on for you.' "But it is quite possible," continued the boy ; "I will prove that what I say is true. I am twelve years old; my father is thirty-six. In twelve years I shall be twenty•fonr and my father forty-eight. Consequently my father, who is now three times my age, will then only be double." The visitcrs laughed heart - Delicately Put.

Some idea may possibly be formed of the awful nature of Stanley's petition when 11 1. known that tile 'nob bad a but few =um previously been it sea of bubblihg fluid in the furnace.

When I add that Stanley was a heave, robust man, and the tailor a man of only about nine stone in weight, ano teat he entered the pit with scarcely any clothing on him and with his shirb sleeves rolled up, it will he posaible for your readers to form some idea of what this men must have endured. Poor Stanley died three days afterward— a sadly unrecognizable object to those who had known him best. John Smith, who was exposed for only a few seconds less:time than Stanley, is doing fairly well, though, he is very 'severely burned about the arms and hands. He Gave Himself Away.
