Car stops and a stout lady makes her
exit. As she does so another stout lady
advances from the curb, and prepares TO
enter. Stout lady No. 2, perceiving stout
lady No. l, Immediately steps aside until
she has descended.
Stout Lady No. THANK you very
much, madam. l regret to have kept you
waiting.
Stout Lady No. 2-It is we'll worth
waiting, madam, to have had the pleasure
of obliging you.
The car proceeds. Enter one-armed
soldier, who deposits religious newspa-
per in every passengers lap. Each pas
senger buys one, paying double the
money, and the one armed soldier goes
out, his countenance beaming with Chris
tian gladness. The car now proceeds Sc
renely several blocks, but finally gets off
the track, and remains stuck in Il rut.
Gentlemen passengers Immediately rise in
a body, vacate the car, and push on each
side until ii is in motion again. Upon re-
entering, one of them remarks to the con
ductor:
How many hours per day do you work?
Conductor-About seventeen hours, sir.
Gentleman-Why that must be very
hard.
Conductor-So it would be sir, if it
wasn't for the company. But what with
everybody trying to make everybody else
happy, and all uniting to put the conduc-
tor at ease, why the experience alone is
worth two dollars day, sir. But here
we are at the Aston House.
Car stops. Passengers file slowly out,
each waiting for the other to take prece-
dencc, and all thanking the conductor and
apologiZing for any annoyance they may
have unwittngly occasioned him.

Cleaning Guns with Petroleum.

GREAsING weapon with fats and oils
does not entirely protect it from rust; the
so-called drying oils get gummy and
resinous, while the non-drying oils be
come rancid; and by exposure to the
action of the atmosphere, acids are
formed, and they attack the iron. These
are some of the reasons why petroleum is
to be preferred for this purpose. Petro-
leum is as great an enemy to water as are
the fatty oils; and hence, when gun bar
rel is covered with thin film of pctro-
leum it keeps the water away from the
metal which forms the barrel; the water
which rests upon the film of petroleum
evaporatcs, but the oil does not and hence
no rust can be formed. 1t is very essen
tial, however, that the petroleum or kero-
sene employed he perfectly pure, for i'm
pure oil, such AS is often met with in
commerce, attacks the metal. Care must
also be taken not to allow it to come in
contact with the polished stock, as it is
able to dissolve the varnish
The gun is cleaned as follows: Each
rifleman carries flask of pure kerosene
and Il round brush, of stiff hogs bristles,
which fits the barrel of the gun. The
brush is screwed to the ramrod. The
gunner also carries some dry hemp or
tow. When about to clean Il gun, some
tow is wrapped about the rod and enough
petroleum poured upon it to thoroughly
moisten it; it is then pushed in a rotary
manner through the barrel and back Il
dozen times, and the hemp taken out and
unrolled, and the upper and lower ends of
the barrel rubbed with the clean part,
after which it is thrown away. This re
moves the coarser portion of the dirt.
The brush is then moistcned thoroughly
with petroleum and twisted into the bar
rel, running it back and forth AT least Il
dozen times, thus loosening the dirt that
operation is now repeated, except that the
hemp or tow on the rod is left dry, and
| the rubbing with this must be continued
i'll all directions as long as it comes out
soiled- The use of wire brushes is OBJ
jcctionable for cleaning guns, rs the
numerous little steel points cut into the
| tube. Only soft tow, hemp, WOODEN rags
| or the like, should be used, as the pctro
leum dissolycs off the dirt sufficiently

The Mother as Il Barber.

You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because the
edge of ii looks as if it had been chewed
off by an absentminded horse, but you
tell il by the way he stops on the street,
and wriggles his shoulders. When Il
fond mother has to cut her boys hair, she
is careful to guard against any annoyance
and muss by laying IA sheet on the carpet.
1t has never yet occurred to her to sit
him on a bare floor, and put the sheet
around his neck Then She draws the
front hair over his eyes, appears to be
surcharged with electric needles, and that
which is silently dropping down under
his shirt-band appears to be on fire. She
has unconsciously continued to push his
head forward until his nose presses his
breast and is too busily engaged to notice
the snufliing sound that is becoming
alarmingly frequent. In the meantime
he is seized With an Irresistible desire TO
blow his nose, but recollects that his
| handkerchief is in the other room. Then
| "A fly lights on his nose, and does il so UNI
| eXpcctedly that he involuntarily lodges,
and catches the points of the shears in
| his left ear. AT this he commences TO
| cry and wish he was man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She merely
| hits him on the other ear, to inspire him
with confidence, and goes on with the
work. When she is through she holds
| his Jacket collar from his neck, and with
| her mouth blows the short bits of hair
from the top of his head down his back.
He calls her attention to this fact, but she
looks for Il new place on his head and
hits him there, and asks him why he
didn't use his handkerchief Then he
takes his awfully disfigured head to the
mirror and looks at it, and, young as he
is, shudders as he thinks of what the
boys on the street will say.-Danbury
