There is saloon-keeper in Baltimore
who is considered by the boys pretty
smart, and it takes waking eye to
catch him winking. The other evening
he was standing behind his bar waiting
for customer, when three fellows
walked in and took their stand in a row.
They were all "half off," and evidently
spent the day on some excursion The
saloon-keeper waited patiently and the
first one on the row, after pause, said
demurely, three whiskys." The bottle
and glasses were flashed out with clang.
To the surprise of the man of liquors,
however, the second one in the row gen.
tly uttered, "Three whiskeys." "Beat,"
thought the bartender, and he put out
three more glasses, when the third man
simply said "Three whiskys." All this
while no hand had gone near pocket
and no chink of silver was heard. The
bar man thought he was badly in for a
"beat," and the ninth glass slid leisurely
and reluctantly over the marble counter.
The three men then drank their three
whiskys each, one after another, with
solemnity, while the cute saloon-keepsr
tapped the table nervously with his
knuckles. Suddenly the first customer
pulled out twenty-dollar note and
threw it down on the counter. "Well," /"
said the bar man, "what can we do? I
I have no change" The other remarked,
"neither have we." and reached for the
money, but the smart saloon man was
too quick. Whipping the note into two
pieces he said smilingly, ''You take one
half and I'll take the other, and you come
around in the morning and pay me-" and
they came.

A SHADOW THAT WOULD NOT OUT.
(Gold Hill News, July 2sd.]


When, in the earlier days of July,
John Abbott was brought from the
steaming depths of the Union, his head
crushed by falling wallplate, he was
laid on the floor of the office and medical
aid summoned to minister to his wants.
although it was plain that he must die.
Next morning Superintendent Rooney
noticed where the dying man had been
placed that his outline lay like a shadow
on the floor. He ordered the janitor to
clean the boards which was done. Be-
fore Rooney went to dinner the shadow
reappeared. He ordered the floor thor
oughly scrubbed and went to his family.
Next morning the floor showed that a
vigorous application of soap and brush
had been made and'the floor was white
and clean. But during the day that
shadow returned and at night there it
lay as though the man was still waiting
death on that floor.
Next day Rooney ordered the floor
painted. With the coming of the paint
pot the shadow vanished, but after day
or two returned and once more limned
itself on that office floor. Rooney then
again sent for the painter and had a
second and heavy coat of paint put not
only where the shadow lay, but over the
entire floor. ii
This was his last command of "Out,
damned spot;' but it would not out. In
a few days there it was again and with
each day it grew more and more distinct.
Even strangers at length began to notice
it and to comment on its resemblance to
a human form. ''EF
Its presence at length became intoler-
able and Rooney had all the boards of
the floor on which this heavy and terrible
shadow rested taken out and replaced
with new. The paint brush then followed
and now that outlined figure from the
floor has disappeared. 'tt

Thirty years ago two men who were
twin brothers lived in Vermont. One
was distinguished merchant, the other
a small farmer. One day the merchant
had some Boston visitors, and while they
were in came the brother, after visit to
the village tavern. The merchant at
once introduced him to his guests and
described their relationship. The farmer,
who was in condition not to be abashed,
blurted out, "Yes, and we are just alike;
he eats all he can get and I drink all
can get"

POPULAR SCIENCE NOTES.

Cleopatras Needle, the great Egyptian
Monolith, is expected to arrive in New
York City in the early part of July.
The interest in scientific progress is
already more general and appreciative in
America than in any foreign country, and
is growing with considerable activity
each year.
Due to the action of the prolonged
daylight of the summer months, in the
north, plants in high latitudes are said to
have more aromatic fruits, foliage of a
deeper green, and richer essential oils
than similar plants, growing in more
southerly regions.
Elegant novelties in the way of phos-
phorescent flowers, which will grow with
lambent light in the dark, may be
easily made by coating the petals with
transparent size and then dusting with a
phosphorescent substance such as sui
phide Of calcium.
A successful journey to the source of
the Niger, has been made by two men,
Zmeifer and Moustier, Of Sierra Leone,
placing its main source on the frontier of
Krisi and Koranka, on the northern side
of the Kong Mountains, some three
hundred miles from Sierra Leone.
The japanese are said to be keen ar
chaeologists, and numerous collections of
stone implements, ancient pottery,
metals, ETC., with which that country
abounds are treasured up by that people
it being superstitious belief with them
that such objects are freaks of nature.
The deepest mine, now being worked,
in the world, is said to be the Adalbert
mine, in Australia, which is worked with
perpendicular shaft three thousand two
hundred and eighty feet deep. This is
lead and silver mine and has been worked
with profit for many years.
The Commission which is charged with
deciding what shall be done with the
Tuileries, has unanimously decided to
restore the palace, this course being con-
sidered less expensive than a complete
reconstruction. It is also understood
that the palace shall be used as a
museum.
Practical experience has demonstrated
the fact that sponges may be artifcially
grown, and the Austrian government has
already adopted the system by planting
large quantities along the coast. Small
pieces are fastened to a pile and sunk
into the sea, and are not long in develop
ing into perfect sponges.
A new kind of artificial fuel is now
being manufactured in Germany, which
is said to be better and much cheaper
than wood or coal. 1t is made in the
shape of bricks or blocks out of peat,
coal dust and other combustible material,
which after being moulded into shape,
and dried, is covered over with coating
of pitch.
For geological specimen, Prof. Mayer
OF Boston, recently put soft-shelled po-
tato bug larva into carbolic acid for three
Gays and then boxed it up and mailed it
10 Europe. The package was fifteen
days reaching its destination. and when
opened the bug was found able to eat
potato vines with splendid appetite,
and thrived remarkably with the change
of climate. sl
