gallons. The pair will weigh 1900 tons,
and will cost 1923, $50. The following di-
mansions will serve to give some idea of
its magnitude: Cranks, nine tons; shaft,
twenty-fou tons; four sections of the two
valve chambers, one hundred and twenty
tons; tiy-wheel, seventy tons. The four
plungers will weigh upwards of four hun
dred tons. Cylinder, sixty-four inches
diameter; stroke fourteen feet. Plungers
forty inches diameter; eleven foot stroke.
This ponderous piece of machinery will
be used to raise water into the Highland
auenue reservoir, in Pittsburgh, a height
of three hundred and ffty-six feet. 1t
is estimated it will raise 100000 pounds
of water for each hundred pounds of coal
consumed, the cost being at the rate of
one cent for every 3,070 gallons.

Another Joke by SOthern.


A correspondent of the Daily Graphic
tells the following about Sothern, but
| that person having acquired reputation
for practical jokes suffers by it, and may
be innocent Of this and many others laid
| at his door:
When talked with Mr., Sothern about
"Puritani' he said:
"Just come down in the shooting
gallery, where Pm just going to shoot a
match, and We'll talk it over"
When we got in the gallery, near
Browns chop-house, | found the match
was between Charley Cooper and Mr.
Sothern for 5000, Mr.Cooper to shoot
with a rifle, and Sothern with pistol
Mr. Cooper, whose nerves were a little
unsteady, having been out on George
Kids yacht all the afternoon, took
rifle and put two balls out of ten in the
bulls eye, ringing the bell sharply twice,
and honestly, too.
II tell you, sir, egad | hate these
practical jokes" said Mr.. Sothern, as he
winked at the bell boy, who had hold of
a little string connected with the bell,
fixed up for the OCCASION s.
Then the man loaded Sotherns pistol
with blank cartridges, and the boy stood
by to slyly pull the bell and fool the by
ISLANDERS into believing the BULBS eye
should be hit each time.
"Click!' goes the blank cartridge and
the boy slyly jerks the string, and the
bell rings.
"Click" again, and the boy jerks the
string, and rattle goes the bell once
more. a
"Click'' once more, and another sly
twitch and ring Of the bell.
So Sothern fired three blank cartridges
and the boy pulled the bell each
time.
eyes, SIR" said the practical joke hater,
Mr.. Sothern, as he received the congratu-
lations of the wags around, and quietly
took Charley Cooper's 5000, Il never
liked sells or practical jokes. They are
inane, heartless and cruel" Then, turn
ing to Charley Cooper in the intensest
innocence said: Nov, Mr.. Cooper,
as you've lost, we'll go up to
Browns and spend this 5000 for sup.
per and champagne"
And the innocent man did it.

IT frequently happens that farm will
not divide well among children; there is
trouble in making an equitable distribu-
ton of the property. In such instances it
is well to consider the subject of life in
surance. For small sum paid annually,
large amount of ready money may be
left to the widow or daughter at the period
of ones death. and they will be just as in
dependent as the sons who divide and
keep the farm. This suggestion is well
worth needing by thousands who are in
terested, and we commend them to the
old New York Life Insurance Co., at 34e
and 348 Broadway, New York. Full par
ticulars mailed free on application.

SOME men at Louisville were betting on
the weight of large mule, when one man,
who was good judge of the weight of
live stock, got behind the mule and was
measuring his hind quarters, when some
thing appeared to loosen up the mule.
Just before the expert died he gave it as
his opinion that if the mule was as heavy
all over as he was behind, he must weigh
not far from $4,000 pounds.

Backing the Stove.

1t is very rarely, indeed, man leaves
his wife in bed asleep and slips softly into
the kitchen to surprise her by putting
polish ON the cook stove. When he does
do it, it is an event of some importance
in the family history, and the way he does
it affords material for edifying reflection
for days at a time. He first moistens the
backing by filling the saucer to the brim
with water. Some of this he spills on his
pants, but generally manages to get the
greater part of it on the carpet. Then he
grasps the brush firmly in his right hand
and setting the saucer On the floor where
it is handy to step in, he goes to work, and
for the next fifteen minutes a most as
founding complication Of noises proceeds
from that kitchen. There is the whisk of
the brush as it glides over the smooth
places, and then sharp rap as it comes
in contact with an unexpected angle There
is a sort of kissing noise made by himself,
and which indicates that the stove is oc-
cupying his entire attention And that
is occasionally relieved by sundry excla-
nations which may or may not have
reference to the work in hand-such as
"Ouchn' "C-h-r-i-s-t-o-p-h-e-rr' "Merciful
heayen!" Thunder and lightning''
and the like. The final noise

upon is astonishing to the fart6est ex-
IRENE. The stove appears in halfdress
uniform of backing and ashes, and seems
to be taking lively interest in the whole
affair, while the man of the house, appar-
emily rlveted to the spot, stands there in
his shirt-sleeves, staring with all his
might at spot in the carpet, and vainly
endeavoring to comprehend how it all hap

skinned every knuckle on both hands,
and broken the saucer by stepping into it
and got the ashes into the carpet and
