His eyes, that each day, the Sargeant -at -anus, or one of has deputies, places upon the pedestal the mace, which is the symbol of authority in the House. When the body adjourns, says St. Nicholas, he removes it, and. keeps it in safety until the House meets again. This mace is of very ancient and hon- orable origin, Under the aid Roman republic, the magistrates pa,ssed on foot from one place to another, administering justice, trying public offenders and im- posing penalties. Each of these magistrates was attend- ed by a small body of men known as lictors, whose duty it was to make way for the officers of the law, presetve or- der, make errests, and inflict punislinieht On condemned eitizene. tub of these lictors carrriea with him a bunch of rods tied together with red not look up, were attracted, sud. *4k, alenly, by the delicate beauty of the hand ithat played nervously with the cushions die:Aide her.

Tbe House of Representatives of the United States was modeled closely after tee House of Commons by the framers of aur Cionstitutiou, and the usage of the mace was barrowea from the Engltah custom. The first elate adopted by the House was destroyed by fire when, the •British burned the Capital ia 1814. From 1814 until 1842 a mace of painted wood did service, but in the latter year the pres- ent mace was ma,de, after the niodel of the original one. It is about three feet in height and consists of a bundle of ebony rods, bound together with a band of silver, after the fashion of the fasces, Froin the centre of this bundle of rads protrudes a silver stem, on which is a silver globe four or five inches iu diameter. On this globe is an eagle of solia silver with outspread wings. This mace is the emblem of authority in the House, and when, as sometimes happens, that body beeomes unruly and seems to be quite beyond the Speaker's control, the sergeant.-at.arms appears, and, lifting the mace from its pedeital, bears it up and down the aisles of the hall. Instantly every member sinks into his seat, ordereis restored at once, and absolute silence prevails, .Any member who disregards the mace is in "con- tempt," and is liable to censure or even expulsion.

Street illeuninatiou was not seriously attempted in Paris until about the mid- dle of the seventeenth century. In the first years of that notable century the streets of Paris were ;lark. The rich were escorted by lackeys bearing torches, the middlemlass folks picked their way, lantern in hand, while the poor slid along, feeling their way by the wails. In his edit of September, 1047, Lae king provided that candles enelosed in a cage of glees ohould be hung by cords at the height of the first storey of tne house, three lanterns for every street, one at each end and one in the middle. At the sound of a bell, straok, by a. watchman, they were lighted. Paris was, however, considerably in advance of other cities of the world at this time. In London link boys stood about in public places, calling out in lugubrious tones: "Gentlemen, it light!"

The story 1 have to relate is indirectly conneeted with the clacelt Tamale gait his followers. It was in 1634 that I searched a cer- tain watercourse in the Aesearghter jun- gles fee tracks of tiger. I found them about five miles from it village called Egkria, in surroundings that softest usy methods in every way for the erection of a niaehan, and I called opon followers to tie up the buffalo and prepare the place for s kill. Nearby was a temple, ancient and moss bound, Much to my -surprise, my man refused en inasse to help me in any way. They at first offerte1 all sorts of feeble objece. dons to the position, which did not de- ceive: ine. I felt that there was Some strong superstition cm other feeling ef repugnauce which niade them hostile to a mitchari being erected 0 nthat parti- cular spot. I went to iny tent and pon- dered, and while so doing iny head ehik- aree appreaelied rae, and told me that he would explain matters to the best of his What the shikaree said to me I will endeavor to repeat in his own words. "Sahib," he said, "natia the daeoit is in these regions. He is a friend. -cf the poor, but a hitter enemy of the Fereingee sahib and. :be riCe.

Cireetoo and. his broth- er Rugoo never reinrned, to their homes and when two of their relatives set forth to 'find them they likewise return- ed not. "Some days after these events it ble- ther if Ini1:0 was hunting for thateh in the neighborhood of the temple and came aernee fear dead bodies.

There were not womule on the body, but, simply a dark blue mark around the aeek, prov- ing etraogulation by the Thug's knotted handkereliief and it bruise at the nape of the neck." The shikaree added that Tantia had in hes employ two rimowned Thugs, wao could kill their vietinis before they reached the ground, and those experts watched Tantieee treasure. I was not sueprised that the shikarees avoided the spot, though it wan known that Taatia had long age lifted his ill gotten gain:e and platted them elsewhere. BIRDS HAVE A HARD TIME. Always Dodging Death and Have a Severe Struggle for a Living. "I was sitting at my winaow the other day," said a bird lover, "while half a dozen sparrows were picking furiougly and savagely crowding One another round a, bit of bread about the size of it boy's Marble. They were hungry. 2 knew that by the way they pushei and shoved and. elbowed oue another around the bread itil by the disputes and side fights that were constantly taking place. "A carriage rolled by in the streets. In an inetant every bird took wing and flew up to the branches of it tree over. head. After the carriage had gone by they mute heel:, but hal hardly got a bite a piece when it boy appeared, and away they flew again. Then a man, next wonian, after her a dog, saii after the dog a delivery wagon scared them oft, so that oro the ertunb disappeared. the birds at least it dozen times were fright- ened up into tae tree, to eorne back and be searea off again. "The incident set -me to musing over the vieiesitudes of nature's life and the comforts men enjoy, tut do not appre- ciate. Suppose that alt the boarders of a first class house had to rush away from the table an,1 run into the third. storey half a dozen times during the din- ner, to keep iron bong lolled, do you think they would have much appetite? Suppose you bad to bolt out of your room into the street a hundred times a day to save your life, -wouldn't living become it hurtle)). Yet the birds are bolt- ing all day long, every day in the year, and all their lives, from real or imeginary danger, for the one is as bail gel the other. "Suppose when we got up in the morn. 0641 40,1111XPIWO ing in a room without a fire We had to go out and work for our breakfaet be- fore we got any, then find another job to pay for dinner and a third. before 1VQ coul1 eat supper; suppose that all eur victual*: were cold, that after hutting all day and not getting enough to eat we had to roost under the eaves of a. hem or under somebody's porch, And, watoh for cats all night longe -wouldn't men go axu1 jump in the river rather than worry with such A life? Yet, that is the bird's life in winter. In summer food Is abundant, the temperature is pleasant and the birds seem happy in spite of their constant danger from boys and stones and guile by day and from oats and owls a night. Maybe- birds bay* no meraory for dangers past. If a man runs tbe risk of being killed by falling off a street car all his acquaintaricea have to lieten to the ataxy at intervals for weeles, but a bird dodges death every ten min- utes through the day, then mounts twig and sings as cheerily as though there were not a stone nor a gun in the world. No regret for the past, no fore- boding for the future, no worry about rent or taxes or coal bills; no pantry and no fear that anything will spoil in keep- big—who wouldn't like to be a bird?—Bt.

Ernest Vaughan, whereby the 1141,n0 eau toreekniad freely. either among themselves or with their friends who ere not ea afflioted. The device, as described by the Selentifle .Amerieen, cam- priees as it were a portable printing Amer- atue. There is it small box about 8 blokes it icneth by 1 Mabee Wide and 2 inches deep divided into twe oongilarimentt, 0A0 comprising a reek containing the type char- acters with which the printing is to be ac- complished, and tho other a email empty grating. The type is of special design, having the Braille character at one end and the earners- pcseding Roman letter at the other. At the • .e.e. (vest letter is a small notch, by recene of whieh the blind opereeor ears as- certain the meaning of the uartieular tile* handled. This notch fits Into groove* pro- vided in the small rack, eso that the char - eaters may be stood vertically in tho rank to form 'words, one by one ere= left to right. When the rack has been thus filled, ow- ing to its working upon a lenge, and by e hely reeeleg it the sheet ed etni h inserted in position betweeen .guides beneath. The rack is then dropped down into position, sled by a elight pressure the characters are emboseed upon the paper beneath. If a copy or the communieation is desired, a sheet of , 'Dauer Is -placed upon the uppermost com- • position at tenons, and by a elleht presnere the cluplleate or oopy Is thus procured. The , operator can correct his cempositton line by lino. and effect arty revisions that may be : required.. Ill this instance, the type he.ving the Braille letter utmost, the resultant Dent- , ine is in Roman ehareetere, so that the Or- tinery person etn easily read the cOMBUUni- • cation. iItt corresPonenng with a blind friend the a Sag letters downward. In tbe ease 01 an or- ' artery persons desiring to write to a blind friend, the eheraetbre are set with the Ro- mat letters uppermost, eo that they can be seen by the operator. The resultarst Islorss. don below is of course In Braille and the reeipient can readily' read. the miiisive trek lett to right by the touch. I THINK Of THEE. I think of thee 1Vhen the sweet'voice of the nightlagale Its sweet and plaintive warblinge to the night . Sounds through the vale. When dost thou think of met thinlegloo: thee By the bright waters of a shaded foun- While in the glistening rays of twilight Glisten the mountain. Where thinkest of met I think of thee, With tenderest hopes and deep, anxious fears, Passionate thoughts for the one 1 lave. How dost thou think of me? Love, think of me, When we shall meet again another day. Till then how distantly your feet may stray I shall forever think and. pray only for thee. —Oeorge Ilawkesworth. Armstrong.
