Aaitaejadty f tha Saw. Thai mm U an instrument of hlfti a tiqait, it invention bcinf attri 1'iitad either to DwdaJus or to his Dephaw Peadix, alio called Talus, who, lusting found the jaw of a wrwit and dlMod a piw of wood with it, wu Ird to imitate tlie utli in iron. In a baa-rel ef published by Wiocklemann, Datdslot is represented holding a taw approaching very closely in form to tha Egyptian w. St. Jerome tee mi clearly to allude to the circular taw, wbieb was probably used, as at present in cutting reneert. There are also imitations of tlie use of tha enter bit, and even in the lime of Cicero it was employed by thieves. Pliny mentions tlie use of tbt saw In ancient ilelgium for cutting whit, building stone, some of the ancient and cretaceous rocks are still treated in the same manner, both in that part of the Continent and in the south of England. In this case Pliny must be understood to speak of a proper or toothed saw. Tne saw -without teeth wu tbeu used juit as it is now by the workers in marble, and the place of teeth was supplied, accord ing to the (tone, either by emery or by various kinds of sand of inferior hard ness. In this manner the ancient arti I c-ri were able to cut slabs of the hsrdest rocks, which consequently were adapted to receive the highest polish, snch as granite, porphyry, lapis lazuli, and ame.hyit. (iimlrlblr. About a year ago it was noticed that the extensive falsification to which gum arabic wat being subjected, owing othe disturbances in inner Africa, has made good gum rare ami expen sive. In consequence of this scarcity other substances are introduced from Australia, South America, etc., as sub stitutes for gum arabic, but none of them is equal to the genuine Soudan gum. A. Jicksch, in ft paper on this sub ject states that inferior materials mixed with gum lilieziri are coming Into Germany in large quantities, .imi being told as 'gum in graiiulo," and that many of the best firms have been deceved. It is impossible to recognize this im position by simply dissolving the sub stance, for the gelatinous particulars, leing very fine are suspended in solu tion and remain invisible; but the adulteration ean easily be detected as follows: .Some of the suspected sample is n.ifl will.

Ha Had No atoswrlavs asMl taw Peers la he C'aalry. I do not know of any lawyer in the United States who was so well versed in the laws of evidence as the late General Benjamin Franklin Butler, writes Isaac Angel, a well-known New York lawyer, in the Sunday Journal. He could introduce more evidence and exclude more matter in soy case legally than any other man at the bar. He was a power on the law of evidence. His specialty lay in torts. Here he was a master. In deed, in this line he had no equal in English-speaking countries, with the exception, perhaps, of Mr. Hawkins, Q. C, now Justice Hawkins, of Lon don, who was the senior counsel for the prosecut'on in the Tichborne case. (Jen. Butler was a i-afe counsel. Whoever so::gt Ml advice and fol lowed it invariably came out a victor in all litigations. Among lawyers he was notanarrogaut man. lie was kind hearted. He always had a good word for the younger men at the bar, and he had a way of doing them a favor without advertising himself. Heie is an illustration: Early in the seventies he had occasion to give an opinion in Boston on the laws of Massachusetts concerning t'ae consti tutional ty of a measure passed by the Legislature in leference to j awn broking. I worked on tlie case two or three days, and received as my fee 100, which sum I considered mag nificent conijicnsation, for 1 was very young at the liar. I delivered my opinion in writing. One of the committeemen appointed to receive it felt a little uneasy about it, and delicately intimated to his brother committeemen that lie woti'd feel more tranquil in mind if Gen. Butler's opinion could be obtained on the same subject. The General was scon, and stipu lated that, he would furnish his opin ion for .'iOO. The money was paid in advance. Two days afterward be sent for ma "Is this your opinion?" he asked, showing mc my written statement, underneath which he had added the words, '-I concur in the above." I told him that it was. "How much did they pay you fur it?" was his next question. I said they had paid me 10o. "Well, it was worth mo c," said the General, as he drew two one hundred dollar bills from his pockctbook and gave them to nic. (icncral Utitler was never known to take a dollar for lc;ial services ren dered a soldier's widow or orphan. He was a man who undoubtedly had a great many enemies at the bar. But they feared liim because be could always maintain his point. Nevada Justice. Over at Silver Teak, Xcv., when that camp was lively, was a man on the pay roll under the name of John .Pollard, and one day he went to the postoftlcc and asked if there were any letters addressed to John McTeaguc. The postmaster said "Yes." "Well, I want them," he replied. "How's that? Isn't your name Pollard1"' asked the postmaster. "Yes, but I want those letters." "Havo you got any order from Mc Teaguc?" "No. .1 don't need any. Hand them out, you ." "I don't know about that," con tinued the postmaster. "I don't want any trouble, but I have no right to give you another man's letters with out a written order." Just then some other men came in for mail and Pollard went away. Later, while the postmaster was preparing to go to bed, he heard a knock at the door. Pollard had re turned. He explained that his real name was McTeaguc and Pollard an assumed one, and added that he was sorry for his uncalled-for language, but he hated to acknowledge that he was living under an assumed name. The man spoke in such sincere tones that the postmaster opened the door and gave him the letters ad dressed to McTeaguc. Then the fel low shot the postmaster dead. Nevada justice was stern to the de gree that McTcague was sent to the penitentiary for seven years. New York Sun. Kenan' Delayed Remark. Kenan had a great contempt for mere words, however eloquent. One evening he met at a sort of literary dinner M. Caro, the philosopher, be loved of fine ladies, who set himself to prove the existence of God. His eloquent assertions did not seem to interest the sage. In the middle of one of his most sonorous periods M. Kenan attempted to make himself heard. But all the ladies were intensely interested: they would not havo their pleasure spoiled.- "In a moment, M. Kenan; wo will listen to you in your turn." He bowed submissively. Towards the end of dinner M. Caro, out, or breath, stopped with a rhetor ical emphasis. At once every one turned towards the illustrious scholar, hoping that, he would enter the lists, and the hostess, with an encouraging smile, said: "Now, M. Rcnan "I am afraid, dear lady, that 1 am now a little behindhand." 'No, no:" "I wanted to ask for a little more potato." How to Keep a Umi Iron Rusting.
