A Nuremberg glass cutter accident- ally disoovered the art of etching lap- on glass.

Removing the varnish, he found the figures that he had drawn raised upon a. dark back- ground. ' Einigluerra, the master 01f early en- graving, delighted in doing deeds of kindness. One day a washerwoanan, in washing a piece of clothing in which a. needle had been carelessly left, had the misfortune to run it into her hand. The needle broke, and more than half of it “7843 left embedded in the flesh. It gave her much pain, and as soon as she could she went to Finig-uerra’s studio, put down the bun- dle Off damp clothes that she was car- rying to their owner, and asked the artist ’to help her. After much pa- tient, careful manipulation with his fine tools he swcceededi in extracting the broken needle. The woman thanked him, and as she lift-ed her damp bundle to leave the studio Finiguerro noticed that it had rested upon one of his engravings and had received anexcellent impression from it. The engraving, like all othâ€" ers of that time, was a metal plate complete in itself, and was regard- ed as a- single picture. The impres- sion made upon the damp cloth sug- gested to the alert mind of Finiguerâ€" re. the possibility of producing an in- definite number of pictures from a single original. By experimenting he perfected his discovery, and event-u- ally made it possible for all homes to have beautiful engravings, for, pre- vious to his discovery, only the weal- thy could afford them.

Doyou know the meaning of the name of what many people consider the prettiest flower that grows? The word carnation means flesh color; not the pinkish yellow, commonly under- stood by that name, but the tints emâ€" pl-oyed by portrait painters in repre- senting faces. The carnations on a palette include all the reds and pinks and creams and whites, with their in- termediate tones, tending to red, yelâ€" low and white. I It will thus be seen how appropri- ate is the name, as applied to a group of flowers whiOSe petzalsLdisplay all the reds, pinks, yellows and whites, as they are seen in the human face. \Ve may have pinkish white, and whitish red, cream white and yellow white, shown in the carnation family, and all veritable flesh tints. ber of petals. The pink, in its natural state, has five petals, ten stamens and stamens hiaVe developed into petals. By a similar processall the num- berlcss varieties of deuble roses that We have to-day welre evolved from the wild .rose, with five petals, and a great number of stamens. Many of our faVorite flowers have reached their present stage largely through the agency of man. . The old botanists told us that a double flower is a monstrosity, and that a true naturalist prefers a bios- som in its wild state. The new bota- nists are telling us something quite different. They say that all flowers are the result of development, and that man’s agency must be taken inâ€" to account, as Well as any other factor. According 'to this view, double flowers and modern varieties have a rightful place in any system of natural history. We all know what is meant by the color named pink; it is a red, light- ened with white. There are as many shades of pink as there are of red,and these range from one almost as dark as garnet to one almost white, with the faintest roseate tinge. Yet, when We think of the flower "pink," we know that it is not necessarily pink in color; it may be a red pink, a yellow pink or a white pink. Still, there is a reason for the color, pink, having the name of the flower, pink. The old-fashioned clove-pink. such-as we used to see in ourgrand- mothers" gar-dens, have five petals. This ’speciesis taken as the type 'of the pink genus. All 'varieties of pink *_ CARE OF CLOTHES.

A small quantity will brace you up and give you ara- enous appetite. A larger .quantity will cure your neuralgia, or allay your fever,‘if you happen to be suffering from typhoid. The sweetâ€"smelling verbena makes an infusion which is a fine cure for sore throat, and it will also prevent your hair falling off. Fennel, which we grow in kitchen gardens to flavor sauces, ' makes a man strong, gives him courage, and adds a dozen years to life. Ferns have many curative quali- ties. If you are wanting in common sense the maidenhair fern will give it to you, and it has been knoxvn to make idiots into sensible men: Maid- enheir fern tea is a splendid cure for acold. And the tincture makes one'l hair grow luxurian-tly. ‘ You can easily grow a blackberry bush in your garden, and from its leaves and fruit many useful medici- nes can be made. If you eat the young shoots they will harden your gums. If you make a decoction of the leaves you have acute for whooping cough. For an ordinary sore throat nothing is better than blackberry jam. And if you boil the leaves in strong lye you get a liquid which will dye your hair a beautiful glossy black. The cowslip can be very easily cultivated. It looks pretty, and it is very useful. If you v cannot sleep, take some of the powdered root and it will end you into the soundest slumber. If you want to do some mountain climbing, and don’t feel your nerves up to the mark, boil the roots in ale and take a few draught! of it. You can then stand on a masthead without atlrevmor. Cnmomile is worth cultivating for the sake of its pleasant and refresh- ing odor. But it is also evaluable medicinal remedy. No finer stimul- ant can be found for a languid stom- ach than camomile tea. If you make a tincture with spirits of wine it will cure your neuralgia, while an infusion is an excellent thing to give irritable and restless children. Coltsfoot, with its pleasant smell, is la cure for asthma. You can make it into cigarettes or fill your pipe with whitish yellow and pinkish yellow, all it and it will give you instant relief.

If you have measles there is nothing to equal a decoction of miarigolds, while the pain 'of a bee- sting can be removed by rubbing a fresh flower to the painful spot. _Lavender makes the hair grow, it cures sprains and stiff joints, and a little oil of laVender will cure giddi- ness and palpitation. The primrose is useful as well as ornamental. If you make an infusion of primroses you have as goodacure as any doctor can give you for headâ€" ache, hysteria or sleeplessness. No garden should be without an apple tree. A poulti'ce of rotten ap- ples will cure sore eyes. If you eat a few good apples every day you will be sure to escape the gout. And if you are inclined to have warts a raw apple rubbed on them will very quick- ly remove them. â€",â€"+__.. SHELLFISH -_! Make :1 Curious Sound By [he Closing of Their Shells. Most seamen. can tell of curious clinikinlg sounds heard on calm nights at sea, and the origin of the noise seems so altogether unaccountable that it has often created some alarm among superstitious fishermen. A distinguished naturalist made a careful study of the sounds on,many occasions, and found that it was not a sustained note, but made up of a. multitude of tiny notes, each clear and distinct in itself, and ranging from. a high treble down. to a bass. When the car was applied to the gun- Wale of the ’boat the sound grew more intense, and in some places, as the beacmpwd on, it could not be heard at all. ‘ On other occasions the sounds re- sembled Uhc tolling of bells, the booming of guns and the note of an Aeolian. hairpd _ For a long time he was unable to trace the cause, but at length dis- covea'ed that the sounds were made by shellfish, hundreds of them open- ing their shells and closing them with‘ The noise, pirtly muf- fled by the water, sounded indescrib- He was finally led to the conclusion that, as the shellfish made the sounds, they probably had some men/hing. and that the clicks might possibly be a warning of rla»n-. ger when) the shallnw water was dis. tur‘bed by the boat.
