NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

They Knew it All Two Cantnrios Ago, and Here's Proof of It. A carious little book has just been dag from the dust of two centuries and has been partially republished by the German newspapers for the purpose of proving that there is nothing new under the sun. The little book is entitled “Foolish Wisdom and Wise Foolishness,” and was written by an oldfashioned German political economist named Becher. At the time of its publication the book was regarded as something of a Munchausen narrative of the author’s travels through Europe. During his wanderlhgs Becher became acquainted with most of the learned men on the continent, and learned a vast deal concerning the scientific work of his day. The first fsnius he met was Franz Grundler, a urnberg optician. He says of him: “Grundler is a most remarkable man. He has an idea that he can cork up in a bottle, by means of a spiral, the ordinary spoken words of a man’s voioe, carry them around with him thus for an hoar or more, and then open the bottle and let them out. How far Grundler has got with the execution of -his-idea since r saw him, I do net know. The whole conception appears to be quite impossible of execution and silly.”

After thus hinting that even in the days of the thirty years’ war some men had learned a thing or two concerning the principle of the phonograph, Becher ba9 a word to say of “an instrument by means of which persons more than a German m*de apart could talk with each other in a low tone of voice.” Beoher calls the instrument a stentrophonicon, and describes how in using it he was obliged to press his lips very close to the bell of a curiously shaped trumpet. “I have seen,” he continues, “one of these instruments at Grundler’s in Nurnberg, and talked with him through it. Although we were a good distance apart at the time and talked very loudly, no one between us could hear a word we said.” During his tour of inquiry Becher also discovered that in several regions outside of Germany men had learned “to write down what others said with wonderful rapidity, by means of strange characters." “Englishmen have discovered a kind of tachygraphy,” he explains, “or an art which enables them to write as rapidly as the fastest speakers can talk. They have brought this wonderful art to such a degree of perfection that young persons often write out fall sermons without a mistake. Orations in Parliament can be written out by this means as rapidly as they are delivered, which I regard as a very useful invention.” So much for stenography two centuries ago. To save himself the trouble of learning various languages of the countries through which he passed, Becher compiled a universal language, not unlike our Volapuk. This language, he says, was derived directly from the nature of things, slipped easily over the tongue, and could be learned in four weeks. It had but twelve letters, and five hundred words, was clear of declinations and conjugations, and subject to but six rules of syntax. Among the many other wonderful things which Becher saw on the Continent and wrote about in his little book were an air gun “which shot lead without powder or noise,” another gun “which delivered three balls in rapid succession after one loading," a ship in which Cornelius Trebbel had ridden under the water of the Thames, and an air ship “held high above the earth by balls much lighter than the atmosphere.” ~

Cairo and the Pyramids. From the Cairo side of the river, rising above the groves and acacias and date palms, are seen the pyramids. These astonishing monuments of power and energy were old when they awakened the wonder of Abraham,' Joseph, and Moses. Their description I is in every language, living or dead, I and children at school know them from ! the wood cuts of their text-books, and; can tell their height and area, so that the traveler looks at them standing apparently just beyond the trees, though really five miles away, as familar friends. Twenty years ago there was a narrow path by a ferry, over which yon rode on a donkey to the most imposing monuments in the world; now you can take a carriage, cross the -bridge, and proceed by an excellent road completely shaded and thoroughly watered. On each side of the road are seen the evidences of the creative power of “Father Nile” in the splendid gardens and green fields. Camels and. oxen are plowing with such plows as are represented in ancient sculptures, and doing admirable work in the soft, moist soil; harrowing, dragging, and working with heavy hoes much like the cottonhoe of the south is {ping on; the sun is not hot, the breeze is cool and bracing, the people move rapidly and wore well from daybreak to sunset. This road is the favorite English drive; a four-horse “drag” runs every morning with passengers; dog-carts with natty grooms, fine imported horses, and strong, wirv Arabians ridden by gentlemen and ladies are always to be seen. Arriving at the desert, the pyramids are found to be an elevation of natural rock about which the sand of the Libyan desert drifts like fine snow. An excellent new hotel, simply and properly finished and famished, stands at the foot of the hill and carriages stop under'the trees. —Bprinyjield Republican.

xrotting Over a Bridge. The Brooklyn bridge is, perhaps, tbs only suspension bridge in the world over which horses are allowed to trot. Jbere is an old theory that the trot* ting of a horse, or the sound of music, br the measured tread of soldiers inarching will cause oscillation and weaken, if not destroy, the strongest bridge.

GENERAL HARSISON’S WORK.

, The Presidency Not a as Shown by the Duties Required o Its Incumbent. I :> Indianapolis Journal. If any one has an idea that the office of President of the United States is a sinecure he might change his views if he could see General Harrison’s table and the work that is piled upon it. The President is a methodical man, a rapid worker, and disposes of business much faster than his predecessor in office, but the increase’in population has naturally resulted in an increase of official business, and ±he President gets his share of it. On his table today, for example, I saw fifty-four bills that have been passed by Congress, engrossed upon large sheets of parchment, which he is required by the Constitution to examine and approve or disapprove. If he approves them he signs the bills and notifies Congress of the fact. If he disapproves them he must write a veto message to that branch of the national legislature in which they .originated, giving hie reasons therefor and his objections, to the legislation they contain. Thus far in his administration he has written no veto messages, but he occasionally lets a bill become law without hi 9 approval, as is alwayß the case when Jhe does not send a veto to Congress after its passage. Some of the bills requirecotlessthan ahalFahhour. accompanying them being explanatory reports from the committees from which they were reported. These he had to examine in order to discover the reasons for and the objections, and it often happens that he has to call the chairman of the committee into consulation, where there are points he does not understand and shat the reports do not make clear. Before he takes up the bills for consideration he always refers them to a member of the Cabinet who will have the responsibility of their execution in case they become laws, and who are supposed to be the most familiar with the subject. These gentlemen usually submit briefs to him, containing their views on the subject, or give them a wholesale approval if they have no observation to make. Both houses in Congress are engaged in passing bills for the erection of public buildings through the country by wholesale, and without regard to the amount. The total is already so large that the Secretary of the Treasury is apprehensive of the effect upon the revenues next year, and some members of the committee on appropriations have also consulted with the President on the same point. The President has, therefore, sent one of his clerks to the Capitol to make a collection of all of the bills that have been proposed on this subject and are pending in both houses of Congress, in order that he rfiay know just what is coming before him before he commits himself to any more of those that have passed. The eight-hour law does not apply to the presidency, as many a man who has held that office has discovered, and Gen. Harrison works from twelve to fourteen hours a day. He is as regular in as he is methodical in his work. He spends so many hours eaoh day in rest and recreation, as he believes that essential to a clear mind and a good disposition, and so many hours to sleep. He is not a long sleeper, but can get along with si* or seven hours very well. This with his rest and recreation, leaves him from twelve to fourteen hours every day, at least one-half of which is spent in examining the legislation of CongressAs an articie in preparing food, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is wholesome, as the ingredients that enter into its composition are free from all substances that would render them detrimental to health.

How to Cure a Headache.

Dyspeptio or bilious headache is very common, and, it seems to me, it is the headache which is most ea illy traceable to its cause and most reaoiJy avoided without medicine. Every one who has suffered from it knows, as well as I can tell them, the cause and remedy. Is it the old story of appetite, indulgence and punishment. ■ ■ ; ■ If you wish to know my advice for curing bilious headache, I say—Don’t get it. Eat such food as agrees with you; be temperate in All things, and be as regular as clock-work about your habits. In the case of young people this headache can always be traoed to some error in diet—as rich food in immoderate quality, eating at unreasonable or unusual hours, drinking wine or beer, eta, etc.—and it readily gives, way to an emetic and sleep. Almost any emetic will do—ipecac or sulphate of zinc. In the case of elderly persons, however, the headaches although less aoute, are apt to he more tedious and more exhausting. Best in bed, cold applications to the head, and some purgative medicine taken so as to operate in the morning, will usually effect a cure.

The Clangor of an Alarm Bell
