BRUEs-The Garden Spot was not ex-
hausted by the festivities of Thanksgiving
week. The young ladies and gentlemen
comprising its representative social circle,
had still sufficient viyacity to participate
In another large dance. There is an enter
prise and congeniality in this particular
set which constitutes asociety in itself and
makes it independent, though not exclusive.
There is, however, an esprit de corps in
their ranks which characterizss their CON-
panies with unusual harmony and zest.
They completed their circle Wednesday
evening, at the residence of Mr.. BrueS.
The commodious house was genially
lighted and thrown open to the merry
host of invaders. The parlors were taste
fully arranged, always with an eye to the
grand purpose, the waltz. and wore an air
Of unaffected hospitality. The company
was given by Miss Carrie, who received
her guests very gracefully. Kramer made
the house vocal with his Incompatible
music, while the guests were arriv-
ing, doffing their wraps, and aggre-
eating their LONELINESS in the parlors be-
low. The spirit OF the waltz was not long
in maniiesting itself under the persuasion
Of the orchestra, and the evenings reyelry
was soon inaugurated. The may" con-
tinued without interruption till midnight,
when the measure of the dance was con-
verted into march, and the happy crowd
advanced with intrepid fortitude to the
banquet board. By one o'clock each sew
eral vacuum was filled, aud the whirl was
recommended and maintained with spirit
till the hours were no longer young. It
was pleasant affair throughout, and will
compare with the usual entertainment of

Lonely Lamps at Sea.
Providence Journal.


The illuminated buoy is a wonderful
invention. Imagine an enormous lamp
riding in the waves. The buoy is a com
pact wrought-iron vessel, which serves
as receiver for compressed gas. Tie
duration of the flame depends upon the
size of the buoy. Some in use in Europe
have been made to burn thirty days and
some l20 days II is said that a buoy OF
sufficient size will contain gas enough to
furnish the light for one year. During
that time the flame is steady and con-
slant night and day, requiring no atten
ton whatever after once put in opera
tion. The lantern attached to the buoy
admits air enough to feed the flame, but
not a particle of water can enter.
The most violent gales, the greatest
force of the waves, submerging even be-
meath them has no effect upon this light
II burns with undimmed brightness as
long as gas is in its reservoir. The light
it is said, can be thrown six or seven
miles in clear weather. Salty deposits
are not made on tie glass Of the lanterns
as has been demonstrated. The retillinf
of the buoy at certain intervals is per
formed by tender, and requires but
few minutes time. 1t is done by pass
ing the gas from a shareholder, which
contains the las compressed to ten at
mospheres, by means of a flexible tubt
into the buoy to pressure of six atmos

Alcohol Experiments on Pigs.
Pail Mall Gazette.

1t may not be generally known that
systematic experiments upon pigs are
being made these days at Paris by a
group of scientific meu with the view OF
ascertaining the precise action Of alcohol
upon the processes of digestion, respira-
ton and secre ion. IN very interest
ing paper upon these experiments by
NJ. Dulardin Beaumetz we find it stated
with touch of unconscious humor, that
the pig has been chosen to be expert
mented upon because, in the first place
his digestive apparatus closely resembles
in all essential respects that of man; and,
in the next place, because the pig is the
only animal besides man we presume, J
that will ungrudgingly consent to be
"dosed" with alcohol. 1t was the inten-
ton of the National Temperance League
to invite Nj. Beaumetz and his colleagues
TO an international congress of scientific
"alcoholists," which was TO be held in
London in August next; we learn, how
ever, that the executive of the league
resolved yesterday TO abandon this idea
for the present. Further, We are given
TO understand that the congress, at which
the final results Of tie investigations OF
NJ. Beaumetz and his coadjutors are IL
be made known, will be held in the au-
tumn at the Hague.

some in families, and they dwell either

are always close 10 some open space in

are none of thcm much taller that a

Chicago Times.


1t probably occurred to Miss Matte
Evans, of Centerville, Indiana, that she
had promised more than she could per
form. She found herself leaning upon
the arm of Mr.. Jackson. bound for the
parsons, and at the same time facing Mr..
bye, an accepted lover, with whom she
had made an appointment for that very
moment. But Mr.. Dye was half square
away, and Miss Evans led Mr.. jackson
quickly into the house Of a friend, around
the corner. As Dye had seen the pair
approaching, he enteIed the house also.
To his amazement, Miss Evans and Mr..
Jackson were not in the house. Under
similar circumstances most young men
wonld have put their hearts at half mast
and retired behind their dignity, but
Dye lost any of the latter he may have
possessed, and pursued the fugitives by
way of the back gate, their place of exit
few minutes before. He chased them
from street to street, and finally to the
depot, where he arrived in time to throw
