PIurnbagO as a I.ubricator.

The Engineer gives this example of the
value of blacklead as lubricator ga
fly-wheel shaft bearing eight inches in
diameter and ten inches long, carried a
load of nearly ten tons. The bearing was
supported on a box-girder and was lined
with good brass. The engine could not
be run, as this bearing invariably got
nearly red hot after few revolutions; ;
various oils, tallow, sulphur and gun
powder were tried with Indifferent sue
cess. BY using a mixture of tallow and
sulphur the engine could be run half an
hour at a time, and once or twice has run
whole day, the shaft making sixty
revolutions per minute. 1t was deter
mined to have new crank shaft with
longer bearing, but as at the'last moment
the use of 'blaeklead and tallow was sug-
gested, package of the ordinary black
lead used for stoves was worked up with
some talow, the bearing carefully wiped
and the grease box on the cap filled with
the mixture. The bearing never heated
again unless the oil was allowed to get
access to it. The success OF the plum
bago as a lubricator was perfect"

Mrs. MufIln's Misgitings.

He was genteel young man, of pleas
ant, open countenance, intelligent and
polite. Most boarding house keepers
would have admitted him at sight as
most eligible candidate, but Mrs. Muffin
appeared to have misgivings that must
be allayed before q decisive answer
could be given.
MY boarders is mighty particular
set," she said, "and have to be care
full who take, or some of 'em is sure to
get huffy and leate. I can't say as so
much object to music myself, but some
folks won't stand it in no way at all. 1
hope you're not Tearing to play on the
fiddle, are you? p
"Oh, no." said the young man,
"Well, I'm very glad to hear you say
so. That would never do at all. You
might as we'll try to keep boarders on
one kind of meat as to put green hand
with fiddle in among 'em. Do you
blow any sort of a hornp ?"
The gentleman shook his mead.
"Well, then, tell me, do you belong
to the Festival chorus? I had one of
'em, but he had to mosey. His rehear
sails almost ruined my prospects and I
had to send him away. 1 felt bad about
it too, for he was light feeder and
never grumbled. You never singf Well,
that's pleasant. I didn't much think
you did, but it's best to be on the safe
side. 1 hope you don't practice on the
cordeoni"
"Oh. no."
"I was almost broken up by one of
them brain-rackers getting smuggled
into the house once last summer, and it
makes me cautious. -Four of my best
boarders left before the first week was
out, and nobody would have dreamed of
any harm in him, either. He was real
innocent, solemn-looking young man,
with blue eyes, as quiet as body could
want, till he got into his room all alone
with that 'cordeop, and then, mercy !!
what villain he was And that wasn't
the worst of it, either, by a good deal.
He not only drove away nearly all my
boardere, but got in debt to me for five
weeks board, and then sloped. 1 tell
you, sir, we have to be careful, and
that's why I've made bold to ask you so
many questions. I'm very glad to hear,
though, that you don't waste your time
that way, and if you II promise that you
won't as much as bring a iewsharp into
the house I'm sure shall be very glad
to have you make your home with us. I
know there's lots of people who claim that
music is soothing and elevating, and all
that sort of thing, but it's a mistake,
sir, mighty big mistake, so far as
boarders are concerned, any way.
They'll put up with a good deal in the
way of having things warmed over, but
they won't stand music no way you car
fix it up, and get away from it as quick
as they would from the smallpox

knee, "your Mr.. Green has turned out
to be nasty defaulter. A young mar
ried couple have robbed us of house

cruelty to talk to me of furnished flat.

broke in, "nor ever was, and the mar
ried couple won't rob you of anything
but--but "a bad, undutiful daughter.
You shall stay here, mother dear, and

wife cried out to me, with the coolest
assurance, that she told me how ii
would be all along, and that all further
opposition on my part would be useless.

Remarkable SeIl.CrematlOn.

Two novel kinds of incendiarism lately
appeared in Rome. Two or three weeks
ago the Royal Carbineers at Porta del
Popolo were attracted by an unusual
light which appeared on the road outside
the walls leading from the Porta del
Popolo in the direction of the ancient
Porta Pinciana. On drawing toward
the scene of the illumination they heard
cries of Z" Vittoria EVviva p and found
that both the light and the cries pro-
ceeded from man who was enveloped
in flames. Before they could extinguish
the flames the man was reduced to car
bon before their eyes. He had soaked
his garments in petroleum and set fire to
himself. A box of matches and an
empty petroleum flask lay near him,
and his hat, which had mourning Grape
round it, was hung on the adjoining
hedge. His features were horribly dis
figured. The gentleman who thus com.
mitted self-cremation was a vice-secre,
tary in the Office of the minister of war
He was a good intelligent public servant
and was noted for his steadiness and
diligence He was unmarried, and
somewhat taciturn and gloomy at times,
but gave no indications Of insanity.
The other instance of incendiarism
was the burning of the marriage notices
which hung up in frames under the
poItico of the palace OF the cOnservators,
| at the capitol. The motive for this burn
ing was set down as jealousy. The
| burning had no effect in delaying the
marriages, many of which have been
celebrated between members Of the aris-
/ tOcraeV

Two tramps slept one night last win

survivor tried it again, on recent night,
and was found dead in the morning.
