This phrase, meaning that pay-day has arrived, originated in a travelling company playing Shakespearean re- pertoire. Salaries had not been paid for a long time; and at a rehearsal of "Hamlet," when the line, "Perchance 'twill walk again: 'occurs, the actor playing the Ghost replied: "The ghost won't walk till our salaries are paid!" The phrase quickly became common to. express the payment •of salaries. Jersey MarriageCustomQuaint. On the island of Jersey there is a very curious but pretty marriage cus- tom. As soon as the ceremony is over, and when the happy couple are enter- ing into occupation of their house, the large granite slab over the porch is inscribed with the initials of the bride and bridegroom, and between the two a rough representation of two hearts is entwined, the whole thus forming a unique marriage certificate for all the world to see. Sponge An Ornament. A pretty ornament for the sitting room can be made from an old sponge. This should be soaked in water, andgrass ol' neistarcl, and cress seed thrown into the holes. It will soon be covered with -a nice green growth. One of the many lessons taught by museums is that clever craftsmanship is not a modern monopoly. Much of the work done thousands of years ago is unapproachable to -day, and many of the processes which were- comparative- ly common then are now practically unknown. There is in the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum anexhibit which baf- fles the most skilled of modern em- balmers, says a London despatch. It consists of a number of human heads from Ecuador reduced by some undis- covered process to about the size of a small orange Notwithstanding the great shrinkage, each is perfect, and is rendered additionally interesting by the sealing of the lips, which are sewn up, so that the "spirit" of the dead should not escape and do harm to the owner! The museum in the Royal College of Surgeons contains another remarkable specimen of ancient workmanshipIt is part of thewrapping from a mummy more than sig. thouaand years old. So gauze -like is this material that for. a time its precise nature was a mystery; but ultimately it was found to be linen of exquisite fineness. Com- pared with it, the finest that Belfast can produce is positively coarse. Equally wonderful is. the Portland Vase in the British Museum, Though it is two thousand years old no man living can reproduce it. The art it represents has long been dead. 11 is made, this vase, of two layers of glass, white on top and blue below; and the exquisite design is shown in white This was effected by carving away all theglass where it was not wanted—a feat of well-nigh, incredible difficulty owing to the brittleness of the material No other example of such workmanship is known to exist. Just as inimitable is another Bri- tish Museum treasure—a bronze Mer- cury, found in 1792 at Paranithia, Irieh Moss. - .

Confidence is felt in Japan that the - Owari will eclipse all other battlesn2ps in fight- ing power. - Pyramids, as well as fragments of those great sepulchral monuments, further illustrate the wonderful skill of ancient craftemen. One of the prob- lems of ages is how the ancient Egyp- tians mewed the great blocks embodied in the Pyramids. The cubic contents' of the greatest weigh nearly 7,000,000 tons, and would build a city of 22,000 houses of ordinary size. Basement atone teethe Pyramid, moreover, are 30 ft. long, 5 ft. high, and 5 ft. wide. The method by which the components, and particularly those huge blocks, were transported and put into •place hasnever been discovered But there are other mysteries no less :bewildering connected- with the Pyramids. For instance, the jointing is a perpetual marvel to experts, since it is equal to that in the finest modern cabinet -work. It is amazing even to those who know that 100,000 men were employed for twenty years on the Great Pyramid alone. Little less curious are muck more commonplace objects, such. as Roman bronze bowls found in this :country. The puzzle here is this: How did the ancients reduce metals from their ores?
