THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Says the Leadville Democrat: Three days
ago an old man arrived in this city. He
came direct to Leadville from Warsaw, in
the old world, and his name is John Jano-
wetz. Mr.. Louis Janowetz, proprietor of
the Keystone Hall, on Chestnut street, is
his son. The noticeable facts about this old
gentleman's long journey are that he was
never away from his native city before, that
he is very old man to be in Leadville, and
that the long journey was undertaken partly
to visit his son and family and partly to sat-
isfy bis curiosity, craving to look upon a
great American mining camp, of which he
had read so much. Mr.. Janowetz can
neither speak nor understand English, but
to his son, in the tongue of his native land,
he expresses his enthusiasm ct the sight of
great city, with history running back
but two years. In the city Of Warsaw not
building has been built, or one even re-
paired or altered in all that time. In fact
it has been nearly two hundred years since
the last building was put up in the city
of Warsaw. Coming directly from the an
Gent into the new, the old gentleman's ex-
pressions of surprise can be easily mag

DETECTING ARTIFICIAL BUTTER.

With regard to Distinguishing artificial
from natural butter, NJ. Denny remarks, in
a recent note to the Belgian Academy, that
the two behave very differently when heated
between $50 and 100 degrees in capsule
or test-tube. At this temperature artificial
butter produces very little froth, but the
mass undergoes sort of irregular boiling,
accompanied by violent jerks which tend to
project some of the butter out of the vessel.
The mass grows brown, but this is by rea-
son of the Gaseous matter separating out in
clots on the wall, the fatty portion of this
sample sensibly retains its natural color.
Natural butter, on the other hand, heated to
$50 or 16O degrees produces abundant froth,
the jerks are much less pronounced, and the
mass grows brown, but in a different way
A good part of the brown coloring matter
remains in suspension in the butter, SO that
the whole mass has characteristic brown
aspect similar to that of the sauce called all
beu,7e noir. All natural buffers behave
thus, and it is strange, M. Denny says, that
this simple method of Distinguishing natural
from artificial butter has not been indicated
before.

ORIGIN OF THE SIGN OF THE PIG AND
WHISTLE.

The many odd combinations which form
the signs of our public houses, says an Eng
ish paper, can generally be accounted for
by the corruptions which have been intro
duced in the pronunciations of what was
originally really intended to be represented.
The well-known case of the battle at the
"Boulogne Mouth changed into the "Bull
and Mouth" is an instance of this opera
ton. 1t is evident that the &c Pig and Whis-
tie is another. 1t was originally the Peg
and Wassail," abiding to drinking custom
introduced by the Danes, of afixing a num-
Der of pegs in the side of the bowl, each
one drinking down exactly to peg. There
is description of such drinking vessel,
found in Glastonbury Abbey, in Homes
Eoery- Day Book. Being jovial custom,
nothing could be more appropriate for a
sign to public house; and the traditional
manner of representing the music-stand con-
firms this derivation. 1t is constituted of a
punch-bowl, drinking glasses, and other
. drinking paraphernais.

THE HUMAN FIGURE.

The proportions of the human figure are
six times the length of the feet. Whether
the form is slender or plump, the rule holds
good; any deviation from it is departure
from the highest beauty in proportion. The
Greeks made all their statues according to
this rule. The face, from the highest point
of the forehead, where the hair begins to
the chin, is one-tenth of the whole statue.
The hand, from the wrist to the middle fin
ger is the same. From the top of the
chest to the highest point of the forehead is
seventh. If the face, from the roots Of
the hair to the chin, be divided into three
equal parts, the first division determines the
places where the eyebrows meet, and the
second the place of the nostrils. The hight
from the feet to the top of the head, is the
distance from the extremity of the fingers
when the arms are extended.
A o1ERGYMAN's wife had impressed
upon her little boy the necessity of
eiecting the skins of grapes, and few
days afterward she told him the story of
Jonah and the whale. ssThe whale is a
very large monster said the mother,
"and he swallowed JONAH" "Did he
swallow other men, too?" asked the lit
tie boy. Well, I suppose he did, ;"
continued the mother, who was some
what in doubt; and, while she was hest
tating about the continuation of the
story, the boy interrupted, "And, man.
ma, did he spit the skins out, too?'

FRIGHTFUL LANDSLIP IN CENTRAL
ASIA.

The landsGp which overwhelmed part of
the Russian army marching against the
Tekke-T urkomans, but of which little
has been made known, must take rank
as one of the most terrible catastrophes of
the kind on record. The column was en-
camped in a narrow valley near Khoja-Kaleh
and not far from Kara-Kaleh, when, after
heavy rains huge mass of the mountain
overhanging the camp came down and bur-
led six hundred soldiers and many horses
The Turkomans, taking advantage of the
mishap and the consequent confusion, at
tackled and plundered the Russian camp,
compelling the remainder of the column to
fall back upon Chat. No landslip unaccom-
panied by other natural commissions, like
earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, has ever
caused such a fearful loss of life; indeed,
the instances Of vast displacements of sur
face are very rare. In 1910 there was a
wonderful subsistence of surface at Ak
mouth, in Devonshire, when about one hun
bred acres of undercliff slipped down to the
sea, and reef forty feet in height was
driven up through the water There was no
loss of life on this occasion, nor in the land
slips at Lyme Regis in 1871, at Freshwater
in 1912, or at Sidmouth in the same year.
The disaster of Khoja-Kaleh, therefore, is
probably unique in its horrors.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE. WITH BARN
MICE.

A Rockford Conn gentleman went to
his barn the other evening to feed his cows.
AS he lifted the cover off his meal bin, he
noticed several mice inside Thinking to be
rid of the mice and give his cat good meal,
he put down his lantern and went for the
cat. She, not Immediately taking in the
situation, bounded out, hit the lantern and
knocked it upon the floor. The lamp fell,
from the glass, and in less time than it takes
to tell it, the oil was on fire, and running
over the barn floor. The gentleman tried to
stamp the fire out, but it wouldn't go out,
so he managed with his feet and hands to
keep it fnom spreading. The bin was but
little way from the hay-mow, and if he
should go for help the hay would certainly
take fire. In this emergency, he happily
thought of the smothering process, and,
taking off his coat, threw it upon the fire,
and by dint of hard work succeeded in put
ting it out. His coat was ruined, and his
hands and arms were considerably burned,
but large barn, full of stock, was saved.
The moral of all of which is: Be careful with
lanterns and wary of cats.

HOW TO COUGH.

To some persons coughing is harmless,
but to others it is fraught with many dan
gers. 1t is, therefore, important to teach
those liable to be injured by severe or pro
longed efforts at coughing how they may ac-
complish their purpose easily, safely and
quickly. DR.. J. M. Fothergill lives: cit
must be insisted upon that the chest be well
filed with air before the cough is let loose
that is, the reflex act must be inhibited by
the action of the will, until the chest be
well filled with air before the cough is let
loose. Such full inspiration is effective, not
only in removing the source of irritation,
but it usually causes other masses of mucus
t. slide from their seat, and thus to set up
further cough for their removal. But, if the
full inspiration plan be followed, these
masses are readily and quickly expelled"
Of course, these directions are of use only
in such coughs as are for the purpose of re-
moving some offending matter from the air
passages.

AN ENGINEER,s HEROIC ACT.

Two freight trains on the Philadelphia and

shouted, "Help poor Jim; never mind me. +"

A MALAY SUPERSTITION.

Surgeon-Major Davie, of the Bluffs, in his
Medical History of the Laroot Field
Force" given in the appendix to the Army
Medical Department Report for 1876, men
tons curious custom which prevails among
the Malays in cases of dangerous illness,
which are attributed to the influence of evil
spirits. The Malays firmly believe that if
they can remove the evil spirits they are all
right; SO, with this object, they construct

plete in every way, with mast, rigging, black
flag, paddles and a rudder. The boat is

stuffed with cups made of leaves, containing
liquors of various sorts, entrails of fowls,
sweetmeats of all kinds, tobacco, flowers and
copper coins. The boat is supported by
slender bamboo platform, surrounded with
pendant grass, to the ends of which are tied
all sorts of eatables, and at the corners the
legs and wings of chicken. About eigh-
teen inches below the boat are figures of
turtles, crocodiles and lizards made of rice.

A CHINESE WOMAN UNvAILED.

Richard Whiteing says that the wife OF
the Chinese Ambassador at Paris appeared
at the recent ball in Elysee unvailed. She
tottered about the rooms on her little feet,

down to the sides of her whitewashed face
Her husband consented to her appearance

respondent, to see him trying to look the
other way so as not to incur the disgrace
involved in the knowledge of her presence.
One corner of an almond eye was fixed on
vacancy, the other was watching the wife to
see that she did not stumble as she walked
about the rooms. The result must have
been far more reassuring than the ambas-
sador expected. Nothing happened; China
was not scandalized, Europe was not con-
vulsed The sight of the Chinese beauty
was little disappointing. She was very

prieties.

There is nothing like exactness, An Off

" Porter, 3d." an item struck out by the
War Office. Not being inclined to be de-
frauded of his sixpence, the officer informed
the authorities that the porter had conveyed
his baggage from one station to another, and
that had he not employed him, he must
have taken cab, which would have cost
3d. In reply came an official notification
that his claim would be allowed, but in
structing him that he ought to have used
the term "porterage," instead of porter"
He was determined, however to have the
last word, and wrote back that he was un-
able to find any precedent for using the word
"porterage," but for the future would do SO,

WHAT A CROW is WORTH.

A gentleman giving evidence before q
Parliamentary committee, said that in some
districts the number of crows upon q farm
would average at least fifty; that the birds
were of great service in destroying wire
worms, and where they did not exist the
farmer was obliged to hire boys to do the
work of the crow, paying them at the rate
three half-pence per 100 worms. MIR.
Bright inquired how much boy could earn
worm-killing, and was told 3d., but when
asked if boy made Cd. day at the rate of
three haf-pence hundred wire-worms.
how many of those noxious creatures he
destroyed in day, the witness, turning res
tive, replied that he did not come there to
answer arithmetical questions. Mr.. Bright,
however, was not to be put off in that way.
He asked if boy did the work as well as a
crow. {" crow is worth fifty boys" was
the rash reply. Then quoth Mr. Bright:
" If boy is worth Sd. day, crow worth
fifty boys, how much is the crow worth to
the farmer in money!" Not unnaturally,
the gentleman lost his temper, but in vain.
Paper, pen and ink were handed to him,
and, after battling with the figures awhile,
he announced that crow was worth lust

asked to inform the committee what, at that
rate, was the yearly value of the bird, and,
of course, could not make it less than 96S4

badgered man that he had given fifty as the
average number of crows on farm, and de-
sired him to find the aggregate annual value
to the farmer of his proper quota of these
useful aids, thereby eliciting the startling
that the farmer must be gain
er of over $4,000 per annum by his half
hundred crows. Thus was the gentleman
taken at his word with vengeance =
