Paid His Bill and Went.

A young gentleman who Is very well
known socially in Pittsburg Pa, is an in
vcterate practical joker. A few days ago,
during ram storm, he went into certain
restaurant in the afternoon and took seat
at table. The waiter in charge of the
table was kecn-witted, experienced fel-
low, and was thoroughly up to his business.
Presenting the customer with bill of fare,
the waiter stood respectfully behind his
chair to take tho expected order. The
young gentleman leisurely looked over
the list of cdibles and drinkables. and
then half turning around, he said, drawl-
ingly:
"Give me an umbrella and dollar and
half"
The waiter stared at the customer and
then exclaimed: "Beg pardon, sir ! What
did you say you wanted2"
Bring me an umbrella and dollar and
a half" was the nonchalant reply.
A twinkle appeared in the walters eyes,
but he merely bowed and said: eyes, sir.
All right. sirl"
A hurried conference took place between
the waiter and the proprietor, during whlcl,
there was considerable snickering and grin
ming. The customer sat perfectly quiet,
with a grave, impassive look upon his face,
which was not disturbed by the return of
the waiter with three silver half dollars on
a platter, and dingy, tattered old gingham
umbrella, which he placed beside the GUESTS
chair.
"Anythlng else sir2" said the waiter
coolly.
eyes, bring me cup of coffce.''
The coffee arrived, was soon finished and
then the waiter laid a check beside the
empty cup. On the check was written
simply "2.55."
The young gentleman looked at the UNI
brclla, tried 70 count the number of holes
in 1t, but failed, glanced al the immovable
countenance Of the waiter, put on his hat,
scratched his chin mcdltatlvcly, paid his bill
and went out.

A young lady, when riding from her
fathers country seat to ncighboring vii
lage met young man on foot, who was
carrying q jug. She at once reined in her
horse, and asked him what he had in tho
Jug. Looking up with comical lccr, he
simply wlnked one eye and smacked his
lips, to indicate that 1t contained something
good. The young lady supposlng he meant
alcohol, Immediately began TO talk temper
ancc. but her auditor requested the privi-
lege of first asking her just one question.
''What Is it7" she asked
'It is this" he replied: "why is my jug
like your side-saddlc2"
She could not tell.
cit is because it holds gal-on," said
he.
"What triflingl" exclaimed tho indig-
nant young lady, and then continued:
Young man, do you not perceive"
"Just one more question:" interrupted
her auditor, "and then am donc. Why
Is my Jug like the asscmby-room of a
female seminary at roll cal7'
II am sure do not know" pctulantly
replied the young lady.
"Well, its because 1t IS full o. lasses," "
said the incorrigible auditor.
The fair lecturer touched her spirited
horse with the whip, and was coon out of
hearing OF the rude young man.

years ago, and Is still 80 among great

that is, regular feeds of bran and short cut
straw, mixed with sufficient quantity OF
water to make 1t palatable, half dozen

Some day will surely undo It.

But tho measure 20 each Of veal or woe,

And change goes on forever.

With faith ~ the strength Of weakness
The slenderest daisy rears it's head
With courage yet with meekness.
A sunny face

To WOO the sun forever.

Feeding tho dead.

A Chinaman was buried at Philadelphia,
IN 1870, and four times year his surviving
countrymen there visit his grave to "fccd
the dead" A recent visit of this kind Is
thus described: The first preliminary was
the removing of all "Mclican" clothing.
AS they had come cnwrapped in the flowing
blue drilling gown and trousers and the
cloth-solcd shoes worn by all good China
men, tie only article necessary to dispense
with was the hat. They then uncoiled
their long pigtails and carried their well
filled provision hamper to the grave. Ccre-
mony number one consisted Of q sort of in
vocation. In perfect time and drill the
mourners lifted their arms from their sides
to a horizontal position, then above their
heads, when they clapped their hands and
uttered high keyed grunt. This wts
done several times. The chief priest then
produced package of sheets of tissue pa
per, about three inches square, cnch of
Which bore incrlptlons in Chinese charac-
tcrs. These each wero supposed to repre-
sent sin committed against ono of the
many dcities of the Buddhist faith. They
were burned, one by one, each Of tho celc-
brants taking turns in lighting them. When
the last had been burned another inroad
wa' made upon the hamper and chicken

out; also four cups and sauccrs and rs
many plates, all Of which were laid on a
paper tablc-cloth placed Oh the grass. A
knife similar in shape to those used by
shocmakcrs speedily dsscctcd the fowl, and
a fragment was placed On each plate. The
cups were filled out Of large wicker bot
tic which contained something like tea.
Oranges were also produced, and the three
living Cinnamon went solomnly through the
form OF eating, the ghost presumably keep
ing them company Tho living banqucters
speedily cmpticd thcir cups and disposed Of
the oranges Seemingly awakened to the
fact that their invisible guest was not getting
through with his share rs rapidly, they
poured tho tea from his cup and what re-
manned in tho bottle on tic foot Of the
grave. A bottle Of saki, tho Chinese whis-
key, was also poured out, none of the liv-
ing icasters partaking of the liquor. Half
a dozen singu ar-looking little tapcrs
mounted on bamboo sticks, wcrc then stuck
in tho swelling turf Of the grave and light
cd. These had two properties, smoke and
smell. A west wind drove both into the
faces of the spectators in such volume that
they beat a hasty retreat, and those who
witnessed the last rite were fortunate
enough to have found places outside the
line of tho breeze. In the midst of tho
smoke and stencil tho faithful Celestials
went through their Last posturing, similar
to that of invocation. This done, they
packed up the remains of their banquet and
the dishes, and, leaving the tapcrs still burn.

Now Method OF Obtaining sound Castings

The soundness OF castings is very much
impaired by blow-holcs or honeycombing,
cnused by the gas IN the metal. A valuable
process for expeling this gas has been de-
vised, that of exposing 1t to vacuum, in a
state Of minute subdivision. For this pnr-
pose tho molten metal Is run through per-
forations in block of fire-clay, into q
cylinder within which a vacuum is main
tanned by means of an air-pump. By thus
subdividing the metal and discl ging 1t in
the form of metallic rain, the gases are
separated and drawn away. The mold for
the RECEIPT on of the molten metal may be
placed within tho cylinder or vessel in
which the vacuum Is maintained.

Weak Charges Of Fraud Against the
Republicans.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5-The Tammany COM
mittee on organization held protracted ses-
sion last night, Police Justice Duffy occupying
the chair. John Kelly offered resolutions
setting forth that a large number of persons
from Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts
and other States had been coloniZed here and
voted the Republican State, county and local
ticket. The names and residences of many.
of these voters are known. The resolutions
provided that the matter be placed in the
hands of counsel to take appropriate action.
The leaders in each district then reported ON
call as to whether Grace's nomination had in
any way injured the national ticket All main
tanned that sGrace had in no way effected such
ticket, and in some cases asserted that Han
cocks majority had been increased thereby.
In regard to the large number of ballot boxes
which found their way to police headquarters
by truckmen whom no one seemed to know
anything about. Kelly alluded to in the
course of a speech He said the boxes were
taken there undoubtedly by the Republicans,
who meant to doctor up the ballots cast for w.
s. Dowd for .dayor, instead of VIM. DOwd, so
that in some m inner The election could yet be
thrown in favor of Dowd. He contended that
this was all part of scheme of fraud on the
part of the Republicans by which they could
reduce Hancocks majority.

The Democratic Candidate for Vice Pres
ident on the Result-The Republican
Victory Due to Prosperous Times.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-In an interview
this morning Hon. W. H. English talked free
ly about the late election and its results. He
said Indiana has held upremarkably well con-
sidering the defeat in October and that the
Democrats have not had a majority in the
State since 1872 and then less than 1900 for
Hendricks for governor. Personally he felt
no chagrin at the result. While feeling the
honor of an unanimous nomination the Vice
Presidency without influence and patronage,
had no charms for him and he feels rather
glad that he is left to life more congenial
and profitable. The Democracy with Demo-
cratic Senate, a close House of Representa-
tives, and the Presidency decided by a small
majority in single state, will not die. The
real cause of Republican success was prosper
Gus times and business satisfactory. The coun-
try thought it wisest to let we'll enough alone.
Lack of harmony in New York, the October
election in Indiana and some other things may
have had a little weight, but the main thing
was the good times and the disposition to let
we'll enough alone. In conclusion Mr.. En-
glish bewailed corruption in party politics so
different from 40 years ago when he first en-
tered political life.
