AT one time Mr.. FORFEIT was playing
an engagement in New York, support
ed by John Mccullough and Mrs. A .
At one of the early rehearsals Mrs. A.
being somewhat nervous, forgot few
OF her lines and fell into several mac
curacies in the business of her part.
In order to recall her attention TO the
business in hand, Mr.. Forrest spoke ia
plain decided, but by no means rough
manner. The rehearsal then proceed

When Mr.. Forrest Joined Mr.. McCul-
Tough in the front of the theatre his
first words were:

VdterproCfing for Ledther.-A good ar
ticle may be made by using parailine
melted with the requisite quantity OF
drying oil, and casting it into suitable
blocks for subsequent use. This being
softened by heat, the leather of the
manufactured articles, as shoe or har-
ness, is coated with it and placed near
fire or in warm place until the com
position has been absorbed. When
leather has been impregnated with the
mixture 1t is only perfectly waterproof,
but 1T is also rendered softer and more
durable. Shoes retain all their tirmncss
and natural elasticity, and backing
makes upon them better polish than
before. This same composition IA also
useful for waterp' oofing woven goods.
1t is placed OH the under side of cloth
for garments, either by melting and ap-
plying moderately with brush, or by
rubbing with block of the pre- paration
The complete diffusion of it through the

reason thev are superior to ordinary oil

better than garments made of rubber.

WIT AND HUMOR.

The Boy VINO BAcKED.-A short time
ago a lady living on Dufiield street was
Summoned TO the door 70 see boy about
twelve years of age, who had cheap
hat-rack TO sell. When shehppeared
he said
Madame, my father Is dead, and
won't you please buy this hat-rack for
twenty-five cents"
She was sorry that his father was
dead, but she didn't want the hat-rack
The next day the same boy aud the
same hat-rack returned, and the boy
said
Madame, won't you please buy this
hat-rack, for my mother Is dead, too. -
She was so sorry that his mother was
also dead, thai she gave him slice of
bread and butter, but she didn't want
to invest in hat-rack. Two days later
the boy called again, having the same
identical rack under his arm, and he
looked the lady straight in the eyes and
said:
Madame, won't you please buy this
hat-rack. for my sister is also dead"
My goodness is it possible that you
bave lost father, mother and sister in

And what allied them?" she asked.

"If buy this hat-rack will you tell
me the truth 2"
Eyes, num-"
She handed him quarter, and
asked:
"Did your father, mother or sister die
this week ?"
The boy looked at her, hesitated, and
then laid the quarter on the railing,
picked up his hat-rack, and said, as he
went down the steps:
only git five cents commish for
selling these racks, and cant afford to
Kill off three OF the family and resur-
rect 'em again for any such figger.

4 NetC Electric Light.-A new electric
light Is produced in the following man
ner: An engine of four-horse power
requiring a bushel of coal per hour Ia
generate the steam, sets in motion dy-
nomo- electric machine, composed OF
metals-eDpper and Zinc being the gen
orators of the electric current. A cop
per wire connected with this machine
passes through steel cylinder about n
foot in length, inclosing "A magnet and
series OF wheels, called the "regula-
tor" Immediately under this cylin-
der is large glass globe which incloses
the light. The end of the copper wire
connects with two points" or square
sticks of carbon, coated with copper,
horizontal in position, with the ends
nearly touching. One of these carbon
points receives the positive, and the
other the negative current. the union
of which produces the light. As the
light burns, the points which are about
eight inches long and half an inch
thick, are slowly consumed, and one of
them Will last about six hours. The
regulator in the cylinder, by means of
the magnet and wheels holds the points
at the proper distance from each other.
SO that the light is steady and Uniform
The whole OF the machinery is simple
enough, but not easy to describe with
out IA diagram. One of these lights is
equal TO 1000 candle-power, or 100 of
the nlckering flame of the ordinary
street lamps. One light Will make dis
lance of tour or five blocks as light as
day, and single one will illuminate
the largest theatre or hall. For out
door illumination the new light may be
pronounced success. 1t will require
some little change to make it exactly
suitable for dwelling houses. For IL
Illuminating large hall, garden or
street it can be produced at less cost
than gas; that is, the same quantity OF
coal will produce about twice as much
electric light rs can be made from gas

a New HAY PREss.- A new hay press
is patented which presses the hay into
cylindrical bales. The merits of the
press are chiefly that the hay is not
bruised or broken by the pressure as i'm
the old way, and the bales can be more
easily handled. The process is describ-
ed thus:
The hay, thrown on platform, is
delivered continuously in small guam
titles up to circular plate, and passes
through TWO narrow Sits, into which IL
is uniformly fed by two revolving ones.
which impart to it corkscrew motion.
The hay is, i'm fact, roughly spun into a
double thread screw OF very fine pitch,
and forced onward with gentle pressure
until a sufficient quantity has been col
lected TO form cylindrical bale of the
weight desired. A pressure Of about
cwt. TO the cubic yard is then applied
giving the density which is found most
desirable; pressure of cwt. to the
square yard may, however. be given if
required. The bale is then bound by
wires, crossing one another in longi-
tudinal direction.
