The Last "Slelt" at tho Assav Offlce. Samples for Assaying Bricks. On a recent Friday afternoon the last melt" of the 3,493, 533 trade dollar which have been received at the United states assay omce in vv ail street, since the act of congress authorizing their pur chase went into effect, was completed and the limpid silver was poured into the molds and transformed into silver bricks, 1,100 to 1,200 ounces in weicrht. A "melt" of silver at the assay office means 5,000 ounces. Therefore, in order to make wav with the whole number of this 3,500,000 of trade dollars about 700 "melts" were necessary. A reporter chanced to be present and stood near the crucible when these last representatives of a dead cur rencv slowly lost their individuality and Decania a shapeies3 erluterinnr mass. When ine last ''melt" of the trade dol lars had been poured into the molds and rnaue into brick, the reporter observed that two small quantities, perhaps of a rain or two each, were put into little re ceptacles and sent to the assaying room. ihese, explained Assistant Assaver J. T. Wilder, "are the samples for assavine. Two are taken from each rnelt.' They are each assayed by different persons and their work must tally. If it does not, the work is repeated. If the two assays still fail to agree tho whole melt is remelted and fresh samples taken. Then the pro cess is gone through with again. "Iho greatest care is taken, " said Mr. Wilder, "to guard against inaccuracies. The assaying is. done by the Gay Lussac method. The exact amount of metal is weighed and dissolved in nitrio acid. Then enough chlorine is added to precip itate precisely a arachm of pure silver. The solution is then shaken for three minutes in a shaking machine (run by oteam), after which it is allowed to set le. More salt water is added, every atom of which is taken account of, and if any silver remains in solution it shows :i slight cloudiness. The operation is re peated until no cloudiness appears, show ing that no silver remains in solution; that it has all been precipitated. Then i calculation is made as to the exact fineness of the samples of silver in the trade dollar, which is corrected by silver proofs. When the fineness is thoroughly ascertained it is stamped upon the bar or brick which has been formed by the melted dollars, together with the olue, weight, melt number and number of the bar. Then the bar or brick is sent to the 'inclosure' before mentioned, where the other 'trade dollar' bricks are kept under a combination safe lock. The combina tion of this, as well as of the other safe locks in the building," is known only to Superintendent Mason and one other trusted official." New York Tribune. A Museum of Religion. Parisians, who, in these latter days, at least, are not remarkable for the depth of fervor of their religious feelings, are about to have a museum of religion. The founder of this remarkable and interest ing institution is a M. Guimet. The building is in the Grseco-Roman style of architecture, and with its pillared porti coes, its rotunda, 113 columns, ana its caryatides, looks like an ancient temple. It is situated near the Trocadero, at a cor ner of. the avenue d'Jena. The edifice has been constructed after designs which were taken from the last mosaics discov ered at Pompeii. The religions of Greece and Rome are most strongly represented, and in the northern gallery is an atrium whichds to contain the altar of a pagan divinity copied from an original model. In tho lateral galleries will be- exhibited objects appertaining to the religions of Egypt, India and China. In a garden at tached to the building there is to be placed a large conservatory and a pond containing plants consecrated to religious uses. Paris Cor. London Telegraph. , : Not the Consumptive's Paradise. In a letter read before a recent meeting of the y Berlin 'Anthropological society Dr; Schliemann energetically protests against the current belief in the salutary effect of the Egyptian climate in pulmon ary troubles. He writes from - Thebes: "Since my consumptive servant, Polops, whom I had - taken with me in order to save his life," has died, and since I have observed in: this city, a number of con sumptives whom,' like the German Con sular Agent Tedrous, I knew twenty-eight, years ago as robust men, I am entirely cured of the belief that Egypt is the para dise of -consumptives, ; and I would much rather advise such patients to go to the J Rjviera than ttfEgytf-CMc TRYrKG THE NERVES. An 254omologIst'B Feelings White- a Tap rant&la Was Crawling Over Bis Faeo . : ' Out on Dearborn avenue, near Lincoln park,' lives a man whose, hobby is bug3 ( box live bugs with vicious teeth ana viru lent fangs, but bugs impaled upon pieces of cardboard and kept in glass cases. Herbert Edgerton, the possessor of the collection, was at "home when the re porter called upon him the other' day. U9 conducted :the visitor to a cozy little den in the rear of the house,' which was fitted up with a number of cabinets, the -doors of which were appropriately let- .tered. . "I've lots ef 6peclmens,,, said he. "but here is one-that I value above all others. , though, it fr cot at All rare. V Mr. ISdgerton-toak a 'piece of cardboard ' from the cabinet, and placed it upon the table. Finned , to. it was a larger hairy spider which was easily recognized as a taran tula. 4 'I -was at Camp Grant, JL T., three summers ago," continued tho speaker, "visiting a cousin of mine who is in tho army. One day, while we were out shooting, I lay down in the sand to get a few moments' rest. We had rid den a good many miles that clay, and as I was ahead of the refit of the. party I thought I would wait for them to come up. So I tethered my horse and was soon stretched at full length upon the eaud. I fell into a sort of. a doze and was awakened by a horrible feeling on my face. You know a man's mind acts quickly under such circumstances, and it didn't take me an instant to realize that a tarantula was crawling over my face. If he stung me I knew I was a dead man, but if he simply crawled over my face and away into the sand I would suffer no ill results. My only recourse was to keep perfectly quiet . and trust to luck,- for as soon as I moved the chances were that the poison would penetrate the skin and be coursing through my veins. "I closed my eyes and stopped breath ing, bo fearful was I that the tarantula would be disturbed. Each ono of his feet felt like a red hot iron, and seemed to be burning a deep hole in my cheek. Tho tarantula didn't seem to be in the least hurry, as he remained nearly a minute upon my face, and I was on the point of brushing him off with my hand and tak ing (fiances of being bitten, when he crawled on. i lay perfectly still for a moment, and when I got to my feet I was trembling so violently that I couldn t un tether the horse. A big draught from a flask of brandy soon pulled meiogether, and I determined to get that tarantula for my collection. I fastened a small two tined fork to a ramrod which I used for that purpose, and started after the bug, I impaled him without any trouble, and he now has tho place of honor in my col lection. I wouldn't pass another minute like that, though, for alilhe collections in the world "Here, "continued Mr. Edgerton, point ing to an insect nearly" four inches in ieiiclii, "is a rare specimen. It is an elephant beetle the largest of the Scara- bssus family. South Africa is tho only place where it is found, and there are but yw c-mom 4 vMfrr Thi ma few specimens in this country. This was Bent to me by a friend of mine who is a great traveler and who has been in every inhabitable country in - the world. Cen tipedes are common enough, but this one here," taking a cardboard from one of the cabinets, "was a murderer. Several years ago I passed several days in a hotel in Albuquerque, N. M. Though it was nothing but a dobe building, there were a number of prominent people there, among them being a family of rich Mex icans by the name of Alvuarez. One of the daughters of Alvuafez a beautiful girl about 18 awakened the nurse one night with a loud scream. How it hap pened no one knows, but in some way a centipede had found its way into her bed and stung her. All the known restora tives were applied, but the poor girl did not recover. The centipede was found and killed, and I begged it for my collec tion. As you can see, it is not a very good specimen, as it is badly mangled; but I prize it for its liistory. I've)a great many more specimens, concluded Mr. Edgerton, "but these are the only ones which have any particular story connect ed with them. " Suggestions to Collegiate Orators. The perplexity of students in the selec tion of a theme is frequently shown in a desiro to be original. But if to be original implies that the writer is to select a theme that no one has hitherto chosen, then originality in this Bense is scarcely possible. Again, if in the treatment or development of the theme it is to be pre sented by means of ideas that have not occurred to others, then, also, originality in this sense is scarcely possible. Origi nality may be . attained in. the way of putting a thought, in. the selection of thoughts, and in their arrangements. Such is one of the meanings of composi tion. In this view a student" may very properly , place the thoughts of others, whether written or spoken, under contri bution. It is plagiarism when a writer takes bodily the thought and words of another and gives them as Ins own. It is also plagiarism when a writer, even if he changes the mode of expression, adopts the development of a subject from an other and gives this as his own.

In western lands it is a proverbial say ing of one who is. peculiarly stupid that he does not "know enough to go in when it v rains." In China, on the contrary, the saying would be altered so as to read: "He. does not know enough to stay in when it rains,' and to a Chinese the idea that a human being has any functions which can be harmonized with the rapid precipitation or moisture can only be in troduced by trepanning. They truly say of - the streets and the people in them: "When wind blows, one-half; rain fall, none at all." As the Chinese, in their way, are a particularly practical people none less so than the Anglo-Saxon, though less energetic there must be some good reason for their persistent refusal for cen turies to encounter rain. Of the fact there can be no manner of doubt. The Tientsin massacre of 1860 might have been quadrupled in atrocity but for a timely rain, which deterred the rowdies already on their wav to the settlement. A portable shower would be one of the most perfect defenses a traveler in the hostile sec tions of China could desire. We are confident that a steady stream of cold water, delivered from a two-inch nozzle would disperse the most violent mob ever seen by a foreigner m China, in five min utes of solar time. Grapeshot would be much less effectual, for many would stop to gather up the spent shot, while cold water is something for which every Chi nese, from the Han dynasty downward, entertains the same aversion as a cat. Externally or internally administered, he regards it as alike fataL ? Tho remote causes of their deep seated antipathy to wet weather lie imbedded in the Chinese constitution, but the proxi mate causes, in our view, are twofold the porosity of cotton cloth and the abso lute scarcity of dirt. To our readers these reasons will, no doubt, appear in adequate, not to say .frivolous; but this, we believe, is because they have not re flected profoundly on the subject. Why the Chinese should persist in wearing cloth shoes we do not pretend to say, but wear them they certainly do. Damp feet are not only uncomfortable, they arc J a. 1 la.

Parties of ladies and gentlemen were pushing and pulling to and fro, and landing and embarking at the floats, which were covered with "boats for hire.'' Sometimes a lady was pulling and her "feller" would lie back at his ease in the stern sheets, and sometimes it' was reversed. A curious sort of flat bottomed boat, like an Ohio river skiff, was very popular among the ladies. These boats were poled along, the water being clear and shallow and the bottom firm. The young lady would walk for ward, put down the pole to the bottom and walk clear back to the stern, push ing with all her strength, then, walking forward again, repeat the process; This is punting, and is very nice where- some pretty girl does the work and you are ly- I ing under a parasol with another pretty ! , . a , i i -. w m 1.1 giri ui uie stem cusnions. many oi wese girls appeared to be clever oarswomen.

Yes, Prance -has. made tremendous strides since - 1870, and her military strength " today has - assumed- really for midable' proportions. One of tho most praiseworthy acts of ' tho war - rhinistry was the immediate change effected after tho war in the general staff, and the con dition of this body of men is now on. u par with any organization in Europe of tb.3 same nature. Formerly , the officers of the general staff were not taken from the army. They were first educated at the Polytech nic, or at St, 'Cyr,.- and 'then .passed, into the school of application for the general staff; thence they were sent for one year .to an infantry -regiment, . one-year to cavahxxegiment and lattertr forjiatf yeartathe: artillery, but it must be re marked . that during -'this service ffcey did no actual - regimental duty. -After they .passed through these so called schools they at once entered the general staff as- captains, and, unfortunately, usually as aides-de-camp to general offi cers. , Now a man may be, socially, very amiable, and, socially," very accom plished, and therefore extremely well fitted to be an aide-de-camp to a general, to manage his menus plaisirs, and vet not be in the least qualified for a staff officer in the proper sense of the word. So when many of the general officers were promoted and their aides-de-camp carried up a grade with" them, it often placed thesooung officers in positions of immense importance, often calling for the performance of dutses, which they were incapable of performing. And these were the officers to whom the de fending of many of the fortresses in 1870 was intrusted, and who had been ordered to their strengthening previous to the breaking out of hostilities. What could one expect from such ma terial Today the armies of France are well officered, the condition of the line excellent, the esprit de corps good and the frontier defense-- formidable. God frey Dynet Carden in San. Francisco Chronicle. A Full Orchestra Score. Anybody who has ever looked at a full orchestral score must have been im pressed with the immense labor involved in writing it, as well as with the' pro found knowledge of instruments that is required for the work. One reason why modern composers are not so prolific as those of the last century is due, to this very fact. A hundred years ago the or- than they are at present. Not nearly so much attention was devoted to wood wind instruments, and, besides this, a great many other instruments have been added to- the full orchestra and every modem composer feels bound to utilize every effect in his score. The music of today, therefore, is much richer in color than that of the past, as every concert goer will appreciate who makes a mental comparison between works of Hadyn or Mozart and those of Wagner and Liszt. In view of the immense amount of work and the kind of knowledge required to do it, the impression would be natural that scoring must be a well paid labor, but the re rerse is the' case. For the scor ing of an ordinary march for full or chestra one does not need to pay more than $10 at the most, and it may be fre quently had for $5, and the work will be in every sense satisfactory and complete. The men who do this kind of work are usually players in orchestras whose time is not entirely taken up with rehearsals and performances, and with pupils that they may have to instruct. They are glad of an opportunityito devote their? evenings to odd jobs of scoring "and ar ranging for the orchestra, and tne com petition among them is so great that the price is cut down to such a margin that: ordinary composers, who flo not strive after original effects, can better afford to have this work done by outside parties than to do it themselves. New York Sun. An Electrical Stratagem. j"fSEl 55 resorted to in order to guard the posts and wires against damage on the part of 'the Araucanian Indians and maintain the connection between the Strongholds on, the frontier. -There were at the tune be tween forty and fifty captive Indians in the Chilian camp. lien. Jrmto called them together," and, pointing to the tele graph wires, he said: "Do you see those wires? "Yes, general." "very good." I want you to remember not to go near nor touch them; for if you do your hands will be held and you will be unable to get away." The Indians smiled incredu lously. Then the general made them each in succession take hold of the wires at both ends of an electric battery in full opera tion. After which he exclaimed: yl command you to let go the wirel" "i can't; my hands are benumbed," said the Indian. The battery was then stopped and the man released. Not long after ward the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict injunctions to keep the secretand not to betray it to their coun trymen on any account. This had the desired effect, for, as might be expected, the experiment " was related "in the strictest confidence" to every man of the tribe, and tbe-telegraph has ever since re- jnained unmolested.
