And H'ldolpli did come at the head of mni!-ehil army that made even s!ern Everhi'rd wink in wonder. A line of steel the German E npcror "drew an un 1 the castle, and curtly he Sat down and united for famiii ' gnaw, inej tooth and thirst's bi ter pan tofiht his battle for him. The wily warrior did not wait in vain, for after bein; shut up within the strong tower for f ur weeks, the desperate Evcrhiird could en.lu c it no longer, and so, at tho midnight hour, sal.ied forth nt the lira I of his force and endeavored to cut his way through the line of nuii ed men that was crushing tho life out of him. The i l r'.s knight, found foemen worthy ef their steel, and, surrounded by ovei whelming numbo s, the K'leui.h Ited beard died a soldier's death. Serving under Rudolph was a distant relation of the ilea I knight, a poor, but worthy soldier, named Conind or Kip bauscn, and as he had neither lands nor wealth, nothing but his ood sword and prct'ty young slip of a girl, the (ierman emperor bestowed the rustic and land, of Aberhoch upon bis devoted follower.

Hut when the wars were ended, A bort commenced to reward the tooli who ha I aided him to climb to the heights of power. Foremost among the emperor's favor ites was a soldier of fortune, I.udwig ol Kurt, nu unknown advinturer, who ha.1 no right to claim kinship with the old family of the Knits of A'teii-Anr. The emperor wished to rew.irl this I.udwig for Uis services, and so lit looked around for some strong c.tstlo tc g've to I,ud wig's keep. The eye, of the tyrant fell upon tin Tower of Averbock. Conrad of Kiphau sen was dead, and his daughter, Joque line, a flaxen-haired beauty of twenty, held her f a'hrr's lauds, ntid wa, toasted I much by the neighboring gftlla'.ls under i the title of the ''l.aily of Aveiboeh."

She under stood that the crafty Albert coveted her fair ciiatle for one of his favorites. The tyrant was not easily bulll'd, and a royal herald rode to the C.tstlo of Aver Inch and made proclamation that Lu l wig of Kurt, cou-i i t i the dead lord, Kverhard, the H lenish red-beard, claimed the doiiu u of Averboeli, and that the emperor summoned the lady to appear nt his imp ! i il court to contest the claim. That the adventurer was neither kith nor kin to tho old robber lord was ap parent to all; but what just iceoould ono expect at the hands of n tyrant, eager to reward one of his minions. Tho emperor affected to hear the case; both parties male their statements, the ndvi ntiiit r bi.cking his claim by twenty rogues, who swore right stoiight'y that they knew him to be the cousin of the old red -beard.

Mohn, a Norwegian physician, had in his own family a case of scarlatina and whooping-cough. After the violence of the scarlatinal attack hud subsided, but : while the whooping-cough was still present, Mohn disinfected the child's lidding with the fumes of sulphur. ,Just previous to the fumigation the child had a severe paroxysm of rough ing, which led the father to hesitate in his employment of tho su'pher. lie wit' surprised and gratified, however, to observe that tho disease was cured ; and Ills patient's sister, who hud a cough, the sequela of pertussis, wa, also cured. These childicn were not inc'.u led in the fumigation intentionally, but inhaled such v.ipor u4 casually pormentcd their npaitment. In a subsequent severe case, the writer, after tho failure of other menus, had re course again to inhalations of sulphur gas, with prompt success, lie cites suc cessful cases of five month, in ago, and children of varying age, have been cured in this manner. He proceeds ns follows: The patients are dressed in clean linen, nnd taken from their bedroom to anothei room. In their absence beddinf, furni ture, playthings, linen, clothing, every thing which the sick-room contained is si arranged that the fumes of sulphur can penetrate to all. S.x and a half drachms of sulphur per cubic metre of air-space in the room are burned, and the fume, allowed to permeate the room for five hours. At evening the chill is taken back to the sick-room nnd put ill abed which was disinfected ; it awakes the next morning cured. It'jvue Inter nationale. Ileatlli IHiiis.

Hut the idea of the saw could be easily siisrgr-ted to primitive man iu different sections of the glolij by net idental notching if metals, or the serrated bone, of fish. It is said the original inhabitants of Ma deira found a ready made saw in the back bono of a li-'u. There is a saw-fly with saws iu its tail, which it ucs to saw stems, leaves and fruit to make re ceptacles for its eggs. In ancient saws the teeth were Roar ranged that the cut w is made by pulling instead of pushing, and tho teeth set so that ten or a do. ii in sin cession slanted one way and then ten or more were slanted in the other instead i f each a' ternate tooth. The Cn-ck, us"d cross cut saws for two men, also saws for cutting marble into. slabs; and they had a tubular saw for hollowing out a marble bath tub similar iu principle to thj modern im plement. In the burned city of II rcu laneum a picture was uncovered rep e flenting two Cctili sawing a piece of wood on a carpenter's bench not unlike the style now iu ii'e and using n saw w ith a wooden frame similar to those employed, and the frame is t'ghteiud with a rope nnd stick just as wood-sawyers have il, and was doubtless as fa miliar to the li itnans as it is to li'. The first trace of a saw-mill in Cer inany is of one nt Augsburg iu the year 1;'.:iT, ami there are in,w two nour that city which nre known to have existed since MIT. 1! fore the invention of the saw-null boards mid plank, were split with wedges and hewn sin uuh by the nxe.

In Norway, a country of b rests, there was not one saw-mill be f' re I".::il, nnd the Kuolish bitterly op pi sod the introduction of the saw-m;l!.
