Scientific Miscellany.

Among the novelties of the
Crystal Palace Electrical Exhi-
bition, in London, are electric
till tell-tales said to be capable
of recording the amounts placed
in the tills and to be so arrang-
ed that they cannot falsify; a
silk-testing machine, which re-
cords by electrical means the
defects in a thread of silk pass
ed through it at the rate OF a
mile in eight minutes; an cleo
trical water-level indicator,
showing, at any distance and by
means of a single wire, fluctua-
tons in the height of water in
reservoirs, tanks, steam-boilers
and tidal ways; and a system of
time-keeping in which any num-
Der OF clocks are worked by one
regulator. the whole arrange
ment being electrically self-act-
ing, neither the regulator nor
the clocks requiring winding
setting or adjusting.
Experimenting upon dogs,
E. Seven has found that coffee
produces anaemia ofthe stom-
ach and retards digestion Its
habituai use must, therefore,
lead to dyspepsia. Continuing
his experiments, M. Seven has
become convinced that sugar
acts powerfully'in aiding diges-
ton, and he freely prescribes
its use in cases of dyspepsia.
From these experiments he
draws the practical lesson that
the infusion of coffee should be
sufficiently sweetened to stlmu-
late the secretary function, and
thus assist digestion.

A Scandal That Drew.

The venerable clergyman arose slowly
in the pulpit, and, CHANGING around on
the thinly scattered congregation, said
in an emphatic tone, in which there was
mora of sorrow than of anger: My be-
loved brethren, am in hopes that there
will be more present next Sabbath, as l
will have occasion to reveal a scandal
which has long oppressed my heart. 1t
concerns the members of this church
very deeply, and no one who has re-
gard for eternal happiness should be
absent" When the benediction was
pronounced the handful of people slow
" dispersed, but behold how much good
seed few can scatter! The next Sun
day the sacred edifice was packed.
There was, indeed, hardly breathing
room when the white-haired sage once
more lifted his head above the pulpit
cushions, and silence as of death fell
upon the expectant throng. He stood
a moment looking upon the unwonted
scene, and then his voice in silvery ca
dence broke the hush of anticipation.
Dear friends" he said, "the scandal I
would reveal is this-you viii gather in
this place in crowds to hear miscellaneous
gossip, but will not listen to explana-
tons of the inspired word. Now, my
children, offer my resignation. l am
going to Europe for six months, and l
shall pay my own expenses But no
one of the vast multitude took the
lesson to himself; he applied it to his
neighbor. Courier.

Where Mammon Reigns..

The land on which the Drexel build
ing stands in New York cost its present
owners at the rate Of $14, DOC, 600 per
acre. 1t occupies the corner of Wall
and Broad streets. Almost all the rail-
roads on the continent are managed
within 800 feet of this spot, and the gen.
eral pressure OF our immense financial
system gives it a value which few years
ago co1Id not have been dreamed OF.
Standing on the Drexel corner you may
see men entering their offices with rapid
step, and if you could follow them you
would find that their transactions,
though Of enormous sums, were accom-
plished with the smallest amount of
words imaginable. No time to waste
hours. The day here is from 10 to 8
o'clock, and one house closes an hour
earlier.
Such men are always ready to act,
hence there is less need to talk. If any
one attempts conversation, he will find
himself politely but positively neglected.
Men may talk at their leisure, but not in
the heaying and excited crowd In Wall
street. Across from Drexeps is the
United States treasury, where about
$50, 0O0, 900 of Government funds are
held, and the rear of the treasury Ton
Pine street, faces the great Turner
building. All around, as you cannot
but feel, is wealth not in lands or any
representative shape, but in money.
Here money reigns; money is the theme.
Moneyed men only are important, and, if
you want to see them, just come to this
center of capital. Troy Times.

What He Would Do.

It was in the smoking-car on the New
York Central. There was one chap who
was clustering great deal and telling
of how many duels he had fought, and
behind him sat small man reading a
magazine.
"Sir !" said the big man as he wheeled
around, "what would you do If chal-
lenged?"
Refuse" was the quiet reply.
"Ah! 1 thought as much. Refuse
and be branded coward What if q
gentleman offered you the choice OF q
horsewhipping-then what?"
I'D take the whipping"
"Ah-I thought so-thought so from
the looks of you. Suppose, SIR, you had
foully slandered me?"
81 never Islander"
"Then, sir, suppose had coolly and
deliberately insuited you; what would
you de 2"
"Td rise up this way, put down my
book this way, and reach over like this
and take him by the nose as take you,
and give il three-quarter- twist-just

When the little man let 60 o. the big
mans nose, the man with the white hat
on began to crouch down to get away
from bullets, but there was no shooting.
The big man turned red-then pale
then looked the little man over and re-
marked:
Certainly-of course-that's it ex-
actly /"
And then conversation turned on the
general prosperity of the Countrywide
troit Free Press.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections Of the
country one death in every three is.
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold, and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease You should arrest it while
it is IN the germ. Two or three doses
of DR.. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syr-
up will relieve an ordinary cough or
cold. 1t does not dry up cough like
many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it, but acts
directly on the throat and bronchial
tubes, removing all the phlegm and
morbid matter that accumulates i'm

ritation, and renders the voice clear

Encouraging a Railroad.

A farmer living ON the line of the
jackson and Fort Wayne road. visited
the headquarters of the company to urge
the necessity of new passenger station
at certain cross-road on the line.
"Tm afraid the patronage would not
pay the expenses" replied the official.
''I tell You heap of people would get
on and off at them corners" urged the
farmer.
"Well, how many of your neiShbor-
hood have passed over our road this
year 2"
"How many? Well, there's old man
Skinner, for one. Te has been to jack
son twice that know of. Then, there's
Aunt Deborah nth, who goes down to
Fort Wayne every spring and fall.
Then we've got several young men who
alters go up to Lansing when there's q
circus"
"Any more p" asked the official, as
the farmer scratched his head and
wriggled around.
"N-o, l don't know as kin think
of any more just now, but iffyou'll &c
ahead and put up a station there, you
kin count on dozen of us sitting around
there all the time to make things look
like business. Banker and Broker.
