This done, 1 say, "Now, old chap, you just stand there/' 1 don't smoke, so 1 tuke a | taper, and finding a place whore 1 cau sit down and he see me, 1 begin to read.

When the kind-heurted Isaac Hooper, a member of the Society of Friends, met a boy with a dirty face and dirty hands lie would stop him and inquire if lie evor studied Chemistry.

There seems no end to the new uses of paper. Recently we have ajioken of paj>cr stoves. Trucks, bricks, Pullman c;ir wheels, chimney flues, carpets, roofs, buckets, basins, scull boats, no longer excite much astonishment. The pa]>er air wheels, in use since 187fi, have proved a success. We are to have in this country an astronomical tower made of ) i at Polytechnic institute at i Troy, N. Y. The interior diameter of the revolving dome is twonty-nSne feet. Made in the ordinary manner this dome would weigh from tire to ten ton*, while quite extensive works to support it and quite important machinery to revolve it would be necessary. In place of the ordinary metallic armature. there is a light hut strong framework of wood. On tliis framework the paper rest*. By enormous pressure it is reduced to one-sixth of un inch in thickness and made as hard as the hardest wood. The weight of this paper doine is not more than one-tenth that of the ordinary construction. It is sup)>orted by twelve or fifteen cast iron halls, about six inches in diameter, all of which revolve in a circular groove provided for the purpose. These halls inay be regarded as casters, upon w hich the vast dome moves with -o little friction that a child's hand could turn it. How to Strengthen and Expand the Lungs.

I< tit of position*, contract a wretch edly narrow, small chest, and lay the loss of health and beauty. All this rnn be entirely obviated by a little attention to the mniincr of breathing. Recollect, j the lungs are like a bladder in tlioir structure, and can be stretched to dotihWl their ordinary rise with j>erfoet safety, giving a noble client and a perfect immunity from consumption. The agent, and the only agent, required, is the common air we breathe, supposing, however, that no obstacle exists oxter nal to the chest, such as lacing, or tying it round with stays, or tight dress, or shoulder-strap* upon It. On rising from beit iti the morning place yourself in an erect position, your head thrown back and shoulder* entirely ofT your chest ; now inhale all th«» air you can, so a* to ' fill the chest to the very bottom of ii, so that no more air can be got in ; mm hold your breath and throw your arms off* behind, holding in your breath a* long a* possible. Hcpi-at these, long t breaths as many times ns you plensc. When done in a cold room it is much better, because tfie air is much denser and will act powerfully In expanding the chest.

The first thing he did was to apply for a position on the Galveston police, lie was a determined- look ing man with a bad eye, a nose like a hawk's beak, and he was built all the way up from the ground like a bank safe. "Do you think you can make arrests 1 and guard prisoners ?" asked the UalI veston Chief of Police. The applicant smiled a smile thut made everybody in the olfice feel jtosilively u n com forts ble. It was the kind of a smile that John McCullough, us Otiibllo, smiles when, towards the last, he begin# to see through "honest Iaoo." "Suppose you had six prisoners, and one of them was to run off ; would you Ivjive the five and follow the fugitive ?" asked the Chief of Police. "Why, no," responded the hard-fuced applicant, "I'd shoot the five who didn't try to escape, so I would know where to , look for them when I got back with the body of the other one." "That's all rlfeht in Sew York, but it is too rough for Texas/' replied the Chief of Police. Venom of Toads. • ■ The toad, formerly considered as a iToutugr to he feared, doe# in reality jw>*- 1 seas u venom capable of killing certain animals and injuring man. The Brisihii Mkuical Joi'BXAL says that this poison is not, as is generally thought, secreted by the mouth ; it i# n sort of epidermic cutaneous secretion, which acts powerfully if the skin be abraded at the time of contact. Dogs which bite toad# soon give voice to howls of pain. On exaini- j nation it is found that the palate and —

' tongue are swollen, and a viscous mucus is exuded. Smaller animals conungund«*r the influence of the venom undergo true narcotic poisoning, soon followed by convulsions and death. Experiments made by MM. Gratoilet, Cloez and Vulpian, show that the matter exuding from the parotid region of the i toad becomes poisonous when introduced into the tissues. A tortoise of the i species "Teatudo Mauri tanican," lamed j j in the hind foot, was completely paralysed at the em I of 15 days ; and the paralysis lasted during several months. * Some savages in South Africa use the < acid-fluid of the cutaneous glands of the i toad instead of the curara. The venom v exists in somewhat large quantity on > the toad's back. Treated with ether it r dissolves, leaving u residuum j the evap- o orated solution exhibits oleaginous gramilui. Th© tWulmim contains a toxic power sufficiently strong, even after ( complete desiccation, to kill a small 1 bird. ■ —«•••• • ; " Old John." ' j Near the town of Millville, California, * is a cosy little cottage hidden by fragrant i curtains of clematis and shaded all day long bv a grove of spreading oaks. Until recently this cottage bad as its only ] occupant a young widow, who, though , I rosy and full of life, kept all admiring , bachelors at a distance. Down the road a inile or so lived John .Simpson a , j wealth and childless widower, whose | life had been embittered because of , , former domestic unhappinc.s*. "Old John/' as he was en lied, rolled in wealth and wallo|>ed in wine, and people said | that be was going to the dog# by lightning express. And so be was. Early last June Old John's prolonged dissipation made him wild. He buckled on a broadsword one day, and mounting bis ' best horse galloped across the country, dashing nt everything that fell under j hi* oyc. Reuching the widow's house he leaped from hi* horse ami chax-d the widow round mid round tho woodpile in tho yard. When he stopped for i breath the widow snatched tlm sword. 1 In another instant she had tangb-d old 1 JoIiii.m booth in the clothes' line and lie 1 was a prisoner. When Old John re- 1 covered his sense# he found himself in i bed in bis own house, with the widow • I watching by liin side The widow told : him that she meant to master him the rest of his life, lie looked at her , and laughed. In two weeks they were married and Old John has been perfect- ! ly docile, as well as devoted, ever since. Ought to be a Law Against it. "You were Jn the war, then, 0-npt.
