How a Little Girl suggested the In
vention or tne lelescope.
Some of the most important discov
eries have been made accidently; and
it has happened to more than one in
ventor, who had long been searching
after some new combination or mater
ial for carying out a pet idea, to hit
upon the right thing at last by mere
Chance. A lucky instance of this kind
was the discovery of the principle of
the telescope.
Nearly three hundred years ago,
there was living in the town of Mid-
delburg, on the island of Walcheren,
in the Netherlands, a poor optician
named Hans Lippersheim. One day,
in the year 1608, -he was working in
his shop, his children helping him in
various small ways, or romping about
and amusing themselves with the tools
and objects lying on bis work-beneli,
when suddenly his little girl exclaim
ed:
Oh, Papa! See how near the steep
le comes I
Half-startled by this announcement,
the honest Hans looked up from his
work, curious to know the cause of
the child's amazement. Turning to
ward her, he saw that she was looking
through two lenses, one held close to
her eye, and the other at arm's length;
and, calling his daughter to his side,
he noticed that the eye-lens was plano
concave (or flat on one side and hoi
lowed out on the other), while the one
held at a distance was plano-convex
(or fiat- on one side aud bulging on the
other). Then, taking the two glasses,
he repeated his daughter's experiment,
and soon discovered that she had
chanced to hold the lenses apart at
their exact focus, and this had produc
ed the wonderful effect that she had
observed. His quick wit and skilled
invention saw in this accident a won
derful discovery. He immediately set
about making use of his new knowl
edge of lenses, and ere long he had
fashioned a tube of pasteboard, in
which he set the glasses firmly at their
exact focus.
This rough tube was the germ of
that great instrument the telescope, to
which modern science owes so much.
Aud it was on October 22, 1608, that
Lippersheim sent to his government
three telescopes made by himself, call
ing them "instruments by means of
which to see at a distance."
Not long afterward another man,
Jacob Adriansz, of Metius, of Alk
maar, a town about twenty miles from
Amsterdam, claimed to have discover
ed the principle of the telescope two
years earlier than Hans Lippersheim;
and it is generally acknowledged that
to one of these two men belongs the
honor of inventing the instrument.
But it seems certain that Hans Lipper
sheim had never known nor heard of
the discovery made by Adriansz, and
so, if Adriansz had n- t lived we still
should owe to Hans Lippersheim's
quick wit. and his little daughter's
lucky meddling, one of the most valu
able and wonderful of human inven
tions. .St. Nicholas for February, 1882.
A paragraph writer on the Boston
Post reaffirms the statement that neces
sity is the mother of invention. "Some
times," he says, "wc want thn door be
tween our office and the one next to it
closed, and the editor in that room of
course feels, if we get op and shut i
that wo are getting high-toned and ex
clusive, and it wounds him. And we
don't like to do that, so we have invent
ed a way to havo him shut the door
himself. We sing."
- Kelson,
It was at Yarmouth that Nelnon land
ed on his return from tho Mediterran
ean, and from Yarmouth that he em
barked, in 1801, for the Baltic. Tho
b.ittlo off Copenhagen was ono of tbo
most arduous of tuoso won by Nelson,
from tho difficulties of tho ground A
large shoal lying close to his ships and
from the oourago and endurance of tho
Danes, who wero subdued with less
relish and more trouble than the French.
No timely negotiation averted the lav
ish bloodshed of that Good Friday eve:
it was left to Nelson to crush the united
scheme of Russia, Sweden and Den
mark against the naval rights of Eng
land, lie won the victory in disohoifi
dience of orders. When Sir Hyde Par
ker, who commanded the fleet, signal
ed to him to stop the action (to save
Nelson, as he thought, the disgrace of
inevitable defeat). Nelson's remark
was: "I have Only ono eye, so I have
a right to bo blind sometimes. I can't
see the signal. the signal. Keep
mine flying for closer battle."
Four years elapsed, and there follows
the scene in tho cockpit of the Victory,
on the afternoon of Oct. 21, 1805 a
scene which is engraven on the heart
of every Englishman, unequalled as It
is for pathos and dramatic power.
The central figure, the moving cause of
the enormous outburst of human ener
gy going on around, Lad given the im
pulse for tho last time tho brilliant
rapidity of mental action and outward
movement which had dune so much for
England was about to bo arrested. Mid
day was scarcely over, the blue sky
shono above, tho din of battle roared
for miles, tho great French ships, ono
after another, struck their flags, the
English yells of victory pierced tho
thunder of the guns, when Nelson was
laid down to die. The littlo valiant
face kindled still at the sounds from
without, as he lay on a midshipman's
mattress, with his back shot through,
and the ominous internal gushes of
blood draining away his life. Tho de
spair of those grouped near him, the
awful excitement on the surrounding
sea, added peace and solemnity to tho
calm, grand words in which he summed
up the religion, tho uses and tho suo
eesses of his lifer: ' "Thank God, I havo
done my duty." At 4:30, three hours
after the ball of tho French rifleman in
tho rigging of the Redoubtablo had
knocked him over, tho soul departed
of him whom his countrymen regarded
with fond prejudice as a beloved friend,
with implicit faith as an invincible
champion, and with reverence as one
in whom lay stored the priceless re
sources of genius. Frasa Mayazint.

Singing School Courtship. ,
There is not a country-bred man or
woman now living but will tell you that
life can offer nothing comparable with
tho innocent zest of that old style court
ing that was dono at singing school in
the starlight and candlelight of tho first
half of our century. Tinro are few
hearts so withered and cold but they
beat quicker sometimes when they hear
in old-fashioned churches the wailing-,
sobbing, orexulting strains of "Brad
street," or "China, or "Coronation,"
and the mind floats down on tho cur
rent of these old melodies to that fresh
young day of hopes and illusions of
voices that were sweet, no mailer how
false they sang of nighti that wero
rosy with dreams, no matter what Fah
renheit said of girls who blushed with
out cause, and of lovers who talked for
hours about anything but love.
Fitting emblems are cot always ap
preciated. The neighbors ef a poor
fellow who died erected a tombstone la
his memory, and had placed above it
tho conventional white dove. The wid
ow looked at it through her tears, and
said, "It was very thoughtful to put it
there. John was very fond of gunning,
and it is an especially suitable em
blem." Tho editor of London Punch" has
fourteen daughters. No wonder tho
poor man canU see anything funny in
having to bounce fellows away from tho
front gate. It's too much like work.
Tanners' Vacations.
The farmer needs his vacation just as
much as any man of business needs one.
A week's run to town after tho busy
season is over will do him a world of
good. And they need to visit other
farmers, to learn, if possible, easier or
better metliods of farming or of living.
They need to attend farmers' conven
tions and organizations, to gain new
ideas something to broaden and en
large their views of life. People who
always stay at homo are sure to seo tha
dark sides and shadows of their own
lives. They need to learn and to real
ize that storms and drouths, and thun
der showers and freshet3. visit other
farms beside their own; that weeds and
insects thrive in all degrees of longi
tude: that flies and dirt accumulate and
annoy other households besido the ones
they presido over. In short, they need
to learn how other people live. Could
farmers manage so as to be confined
less to their farms, could they work
more in partnership, as do men in other
business, or could they believe it profit
able to employ a higher grade of labor
ers men whom they could trust alone
for a day or a week, or could they earlier
train their sons and daughters to have
a care and an interest in the affairs of
the household, then they could oftener
find tho opportunity for leaving tho
farm for a short season of recreation
and enjoyment, and thus bo in reality
what they have the name of bein, tho
most "independent class of people in
the world."
Anecdotes of David Davis.
Mr. David Davis, being now in the,
line of a brief Presidential career, tho
anecdotes begin to flow in. A New
York Tribune writer remembers that
while on the bench in Illinois, Davis
was so much interested in the election
of Lincoln that it often filled his mind
to the exclusion of other business. Dur
ing the course of an argument ft lawyer
happened to say: "And now, your
Honor, the matter rests in this State."
The last word roused tho Judge from
his revery. Still thinking of tho vote
he hoped Douglas would get, or rather
wouldn't get, in tho State, Davis cried:
"State! State! he won't carry a coun
ty." At another time ho told a lawyer
who was very anxious to go on with
case in the absence of the counsel on
the other side, "We'll go on if you say
so. But I ought to tell you that in such
cases I always think it my duty to look
out for the sida that is not represented
by counsel. We had a case of that sort
in Terre Haute the other day, where a
man insisted on going on when tho oth
er side wasn't there, and singular as it
may seem, we beat that Jcllow !"
