LARoH WHISTLE.

The largest whistle in the world was
recently made ia Bridgeport, Conn.,,
for Montreal, Canada, mill. 1t is
about as large as -four barrel, made
Of cast brass, and cost $500. II is ex-
pected that its scream can be heard
distance Of SO miles. The mill upon
which it is to be placed has been de
stroyed several times, and now, when
out Of the regular hours for blowing,
this whistle is heard, II is supposed that
the fre departments within radius Of
fifty miles will hitch up and make 70,

Of the whistle owners, It il estimated

Il Didn't equeak Again.

Fred McCabe, the ven riloquist, was
o great joker. Some years ago he was
on q Mississippi river steamer, and
making the acquaintance Of the en-
sineer, he was allowed the freedom OF
the engine room. He sat in one cor
ner and drawing his hat over his eyes
seemed lost in rcverie. In o few mo-
ments part Of the machinery began to
squeak. The engineer oiled it and
went on about business. In another
few moments the squeaking
commenced again. and the engin-
eer rushed over, oil can in hand to
give the offending spindle another lu-
bricating. Again he went back to his
post, aud again the squeaking com
menced louder than ever. "Jupiter,
he yelled, 1.-The darn thing is be
witched." More oil was administered,
but the engineer began to smell . rat
Pretty soon the spindle squeaked again
and slipping up behind McCabe, thu
engineer poured half a pint Of oil dowr
the joker's back, saying, 81 guess tha
spindle won't speak again" And i
didn't.
