A citizen of Carson City, Montcalm
county, Michigan, read somewhere that
it would take out a grease spot from a
board to pour kerosene on it and heat the
spot to dry up the kerosene. There was
big grease spot on the floor of his
store. He poured kerosene on it and set
the kerosene on the fire to heat it. 1t
took out the grease admirably, likewise
the floor and such other things as it
could reach. The neighbors took out
his goods, and finally the fire was put
out.

A young man rode home with his
sweetheart near Patterson's Mills, Pa,
and while he was warming his feet at the
kitchen fire her mischievous brother
transferred the saddle and bride from
his horse to their bull and hitched the
animal where the horse had been. When
the young man came to get mounted on
the animal and thoroughly started for
home he had an experience that made
him think the parrot had no right to
complain.

To apparently burn water, fill glass
lamp with water and put into it for a
wick piece of gum camphor. The
lamp should not he quite full, and the
camphor may be left to float upon the
surface of the water. On touching a
lighted match to the camphor it shoots
up in a clear, steady flame and seems to
sink below the surface of the water, so
that the fame is surrounded by the
liquid. 1t will burn for a long time.
If the camphor be ignited in large dish
of water it will commonly float about
while it burns. Wet piece of thick
wrapping paper, then dry by the stove;
while warm lay it down upon vanished
table or dry wooden cloth and rub it
briskly with piece of India rubber. 1t
will become strongly electrified, and if
tossed against the wall or the looking
glass will stick some time. Tear tissue
paper into bits one.eighth inch square,
and then this piece of paper, electrified,
will draw them. Or take smooth tea
tray and put it on three dry tumblers.
Lay the electric paper on it; and, on
touching the tray you will get little
spark; lift the paper out of the tray and
on touching the tray again You will get
another spark, but of the opposite kind
of electricity; replace the paper and you
get another, and so on. ILLUSTRATED

The celebrated French physician and
scientist, DR.. Pasteur, has been conduct.
ing series of dangerous experiments on
rabid animals, more than two hundred
cases of hydrophobia having been observ.
ed and studied by him. The results of
these experiments prove that hydropho-
bia in its acute form can be prevented by
incubation. Dr. Pasteur has several
dogs that are proof against the attack of
any rabid animal, as they have been vac
cinated with the virus from a mad dogs
brain, he having found that the nervous
system is the actual seat of the disease.
But these experiments have not as yet
proved SO practically useful to the world
in general as DR.. Parteur's studies of the
rouget, or red fever, disease among
swine, destroying 10000 last year in
France alone. DR.. Pasteur has succeeded
in developing a comparatively inocuous
form OF the microbius causing the dis
ease, with which he vaccinates the swine,
fully protecting them against the more
fatal form of rouget. The same princi-
pie has also been successfully applied to
horses by couple of German scientists,
as reported in German medical review.

cannot be relied upon as a basis TO-
any kind ofpolitical calculation. The
indications are that districts which
showed such startling changes last fall
cannot be depended on by the democ'
racy to repeat their action at another
election, but rather that the indepen.
dent element having demonstrated
their power to kick the machine" to
pieces when occasion demands are con
tent to settle back to their old places
in the ranks of the two parties. II
was revolt and not revolution.
1t has not been so many years since
the saying that "HNs fun now and
then, is ielished by the wisest men"
was considered wonderfully gracious
concesslonto the mate tendency in the
human breast toward levity. The
comic was considered closely allied to
the criminal, and even the very mildest
of milk and water wit, was only per-
missible under certain and well defined
circumstances. What a change.
What with funny newspapers, humor-
ous lectures, whimsical preachers, and
side'spitting scientists. the whole world
seems determined to 60 through life
with a broad grin on its face, as though
the whole business was roaring farce.
The newspaper that would succeed
must abandon the discussion of prin-
ciples, and give place to the absurdlties
of the Bill Nyes and the Pecks and the
Burdetts of literature; the lectures
whatever his subject, whether it be
morals or government, or religion, will
find empty benches and few calls, un-
less he has the "happy faculty of max
ing monkey of himself, and possesses
a fund Of funny anecdotes, applicable
to any and all subjects under the heav-
ems, together, with the gift Of getting
them off, so that he can surprise his
hearers into paroxysms of laughter by
the incongruity of his illustrations. The
pains and horrors of he'll, the hopes
and happiness of heaven, are equally
the subjects Of jest and jeer. The
VIC will say nothing of
.he preacher this time-but one thing
IS quite evident. the Calvins. the Luth-
er's, the Edwards and all that class Of
solemn, sedate and sturdy men of the
old school" could hardly "draw" either
