Mean to hei eagerly
oa ` the Subject' 1 bio ht to the It was
yet, as a a�stention..:of Ma;I'orn-
= Bch areha3olois"t once remarked': l .eral . Herbert. the commander of the
"However Jumah=is said about Pompeii CanadlaalInl�ltla,-and ; the _cuttin tools
there remains much to be said." made by Allard were snbmi .. ,,o his
Afteiz t month of db�gly- I inspection and ' to that of .,ngii rs.
sterile explorations in these famous ;named by him.. All of the
coins, important new discoveries have ; expressed their surprise _at the
wminers er-
made. Another house has been fol edge and hardness that had b
found, whose architecture is consider-
- ably different from any yet unearthed.
• The parts so far restored are the peri-
-style or pillars surrounding the
house, the main court with Cham-
, berg on each side, and the bath and
kitehen. The main entrance has not
yet been found and is supposed to
.7 be" at some distance on the so-called
-Street of Mercury. The 'peristyle has
columns partly round and partly octag-
c . The mosaic pavement of -this
mansion is very beautiful. The ehai -
bers:areornamented with frescoes, the
=most of them poor in design, with one
exception whichrepresentssome of the
°`adventures- of- Hercules. There are
many other respects in which this house
differs from the others so far uncovered.
• There seems to have been no prevailing
•style of architecture in the city, and one
can discern reminiscences of Egypt,
'Greece and the Orient in the construc-
tion and decoration of the houses. Pom-
peii, nate, without industry and with-
out 'commerce, was chiefly a sort of
• watering place where the rich merchants
'of Italy came to live after they had
- made their fortunes or during the hot
months. It had thus a cosmopolitan
- character and the ri ins contain many a
•.trace of the cultivated taste of its trav-
eled inhabitants.
• Of far more interest than the newly -
discovered house are two bodies, which
-have just been dug up in another part
- of the city. They are the first found -in
'the ruins`In some time and are as per-
efect as they were on that fatal day in
;the year 7Q A.D. when thecitywas
•swallowed np in the ashes and lava of
`Mtesuvius. The bodies are those of
-a man and a woman and were found
•side by side. Except -a -.certain contrac
etion in the linebs.of the rpoIan the bodies
present a calm and peaceful appearance,
:and it is evident hat death overtook
=them instantly and without warning.
• The fact that they have been so per-
fectly preserved since within half_a cen-
-tuly from the time Christ lived on earth,
is explained by the enormous envelope
;of cinders which protected thein through
the centuries from the air. They are
part1 petrified, like most of the bodies
onnd at Pompeii. They have been
placed in a special museum. -
That the dust and ashes, which cover
Herculaneum, and Pompeiisare the accn
•ululations of more than one Vesuvian
: eruption is proved by the number of
^differennt ..lay legating,, in some
Nitre & e ' -as te feet. The coin`
- natively few bodies t 4 and the "al-
;moeis-entrre absence WeVects of great
rake show that most. of the"20,0,00 in
gnabitants escaped and returned to bury
:their dead and recover their treasures
these than half the city has -been exca
vated.
A. Friendship
One of the pleasantest 6f friendship is
that between a young and a middle-aged
:woman. (There are no old women now-
'adays}. If the two womenare of exact-
-ly the right sort, the friendship is al-
most an ideal one. There can be no
jealousy. The elder woman is too old
.to=be envious of the younger, either of
der loyes or her companionship. The
-younger feels the superiority of her
;youth toe keenly to care for the regard
:cherished bythe older for_her contem-
poraries. each possesses a charm
to. which the other return$ with never-
eoeasing.delight.
e'I'he. older friend smiles over but re-
joices in the freshness and ardor, the
`eager anticipations and daring impetu-
•osity, of her' companion. She speaks no
hard of discouragement. It is beautiful,
this demanding youth, this splendid
audacity, to whiff all earthly achieve-

to Allard. At a preliminary : of..sim-
ilar sheets at the rifle lunges,: the bullet,
fired frau a distance of fOrty
shattered `into s yards, was
its first im et �o�gsancl fragments by
.a'dened cop-

striking the plate a -fairly, was com-
pletely flattened,: bei0emsined embed-
ded in the plate, witch+ it ,merely dented
slightly, without 'cracking it in any
way. Allard's friends declare that all
the tests so far made have proved most
satisfactory, and that the inventor,
among other things; has made by his
temper to trocess a he best article of the fer razor equal it amous
Rodgers manufacture.
The story of how Allard came to re-
discover the art which was known to
the ancients, and especially to the old
pyramid -builders of Egypt, reads like a
romance. Thirty-three years ago, wen
h
workingat his. trade in. the. United
States, he heard a comrade in the same
shop say that:the man who could redis-
cover the lost secret of tempering -copper
world make a fortune. Ever afterward
this saying haunted his mind, and for
over thirty years he sought'the secret in
vain. He made thousands of experi-
ments which ended only in failure and
disappointment. A hundred times he
vowed that.if- the next trial failed he
would abandon` the search, which was
wasting his limited means and proving
seemingly a.. veritable will-o'-the-wisp
for hint" At last he fully decided to,
:make one more trial, and. if that failed
to give the whole thing up- forever. A
new combination„ had occurred to his
mind and success crowned his efforts..
One -Piece Burrells.
A German has patented : a- process for
making barrels without staves: The
thank of a tree is sawed into lengths to
the size of the: barrel required, and the
chunks-are•placed in a boiler and boiled
fora few hours. -It is believed that if a
current of electricity be passed- through
the boiler a chemical action is generated
that softens the . wood for working.
After the boiling the bark: is stripped
from the chunks. In front of a cnttin
tool the .chunks : are held by forks'in a;
manner similar to that in which:a piece
of wood is held in a lathe. The chunk
revolves rapidly against the edge of a
fixed broad blade that -cuts A -continu-
ous shoot of soft wood = of ` desired
