Men and Women of New York.

The women of New York are not

by their style, but their pale. sallow
faces and defective figures forbid any
ideas of beauty-that is, of the perfect

not be among such numbers as one
meets on Fifth avenue. In point of
fact, it is astonishing how rare a thing

Encouraging A Young Man.

A young man, % years old, resident
OF Detroit, had, by strict economy laid
by a couple of thousand dollars, says
the Free Press. Feeling that he needed
advice as to how to invest it, he called
at the Office of a capitalist and philan-
thropist, and stated his case.
'You have done well-exceedingly
well, replied the philanthropist, "you
should invest that money in a suburban
lot, and profit by the RISE
I've thought of that; but where can
I find lot?''
ooh! that's easy enough; in fact I
have several lots myself in market, and
l will give you a bargain. F"
The map was consulted, but when the
young man saw the location of the lots
which had soap factory on one side,
and a tannery on the other, with q ra-
vine at the back of both, he thought
$4,000 too great price.
''But the title" protested the philan-
thropist- ''the title is without flaw.
There is where you gain.

''Why, when you come to me in six
months from now to mortgage that lot

Mining with Lime,

The new method of mining coal by
breaking down with compressed lime,
which was first spoken Of last Summer,
has now passed beyond the, experiment
tai stage, and it's utility has been demon
strated beyond question. The opera
ton consists in drilling shot-holes in the
roof OF the coal, into which cartridges
of specially prepared limestone are intro
duced. BY forcing water on the lime
stone, steam is generated, and this, with
the expansive force of the lime, COM
pletes the work of disintegration. The
advantages of this method of coal min
ing are that the risk and dangers which
inevitably accompany the use Of gun
powder or dynamite are abolished and
that the coal is obtained in large masses,
thus saving the waste incurred by blast
ing with explosives. AS is we'll known,
coal, when broken small, is deteriorated
in usefulness and price by upward of 40
per cent; but much of this waste is
saved under this new system, as a much
greater proportion of the product is
Charge" coal. Where the miners are
paid according to the large coal they
mine the new invention will increase
their income without altering the rate
of wages. 1t is thus an invention that
is likely to produce good results, me-
chanical and socially. y. Herald

Delenda Est King Calico.

Hockey, pokey, wankey, fun,
What was to be to pass has come,
The marvel almost strikes us dumb
With honest admiration.
On papier-mache throne of state,
With a nickel crown on his woolly pate,
King Calico sits with his dusky mate
TO rule his pigmy nation.
Grooms Of the Palace rush in and out;
Marshals and Ministers hustle about;
Lord Chamberlains low-born intruders fout,
"A IL bent upon showing homage.
For class distinctions are firmly set,
And a swell won't notice ''cad,'' you bet,
In short, in all points of etiquette
The Court is ''quite the fromage."
But think you the monarch of Lilliput,
Within the gilt walls Of his palace shut,
Doesn't sometimes pine for the bamboo hut
Which his ancestors contented?
And when he thinks OF the things that were,
Doesn't he sometimes rage and swear,
And yank out tufts of his frizzly hair,
Like cannibal demented?
AS he sweats and frets in his gaudy clothes,
With number nineteen on his aching toes,
He must sigh for days when, ring In the
With breech-clont in chilly weather,
And little tattOOing here and there,
Was all the dress that king need wear,
Unless he chose to adOrn his hair
With fresll-plucked sea-bird's feather.
Who can picture the royal grimace
When missionaries now take their place
At the table they used to grace
III the shape Of a barbecue?
What must be the royal stOmachS QualmS
To see plump young babes in their mothers
arms
And know they will never yield up their
charms
In fricassee or stew?
Then king should not by the nose be led
Ul1e gilded dummy OF gngerbreadD,
Whose ancestors simply cried: "Otf with his
head!'
When they scented a revolution.
So Calico prays his gods for relief;
20, make me again a cannibal chef!'
But they only mock at the monarch's grief,
And point to his constitution.

Electric LIGHTS in New York.

Murat Halstead writes to The Cinci71-
natl Commercial Gazette: One of the
things most remarkable in the outdoor
appearance of New York at this time is
the glowing splendor of the illumination
of the streets and public squares by the
electric light. Gas seems to have, no
show anywhere except in the houses and
in the side streets. And, while it is
pretty good gas, it has pallid and
sickly style when Immediately con
fronted by it's dazzling competitor.
There are miles on Broadway and Fifth
avenue where there is not gas-light to
be seen. 1t is the style to illuminate the
fronts of the great popular stores with
the electric light. 1t is used in several
of the newspaper offices. The Tribune
The Herald has the Edison system, and
the only testimony that it is an expert
ment is that the gas-fxtures have not
been taken down. There are $50 Edison
lights in The Herald establishment. Our
friends who have Investments in gas
stock may rely upon it that electricity,
as an il]uminant, is making progress.
Its inroads upon gas are at least as
rapid and certain as those of the tele-
phone upon the telegraph, or the type
writer upon photography. 1t is not
that the electric light is cheap. 1t costs
about as much as gas. Its merits are
Incompatible brilliancy and absence of
heat The fact that gas-light is SO hot
will be the salvation of gas companies
some day.

A New Kind of Safe Deposit Vault.

''Along with two friends I went into
a beer saloon on Third avenue. Icalled
for three beers and placed a quarter on
the counter. A monkey was scratching
his ears at the end of the bar and blink
ing his eyes at the boss. My friends
turned around to admire several orna-
mental theatrical bills on the walls and
I joined them. When we were ready to
go said to the saloon keeper:
Where's my CHANGER
He said ''What changer
81 looked at him with surprise and
told him that had put down q quarter
on the counter. The man said was
mistaken, but my friends, who saw me
put the money down, told him I had
tossed twenty-five cents on the bar.
The fat German was heard to mutter
something about dead beats and was
beginning to get my Irish up. The
monkey was apparently taking in the
situation and thought his jaws looked
a little swollen. I'll bet that monk
took that quarter said to myself.
Walking up to the animal l just gave
him tap behind the ear and he spilled
$3.50 in silver change on the bar. The
boss appeared to be dumbfounded, and
as we went out he was heard to remark
that he would bet his life that the bar
tender John had trained the monkey
and that he must be working the Gus
toners as well as the drawer, but the
combination was spoiled. IN. Y World.

Microscan;e MarYels.

Crofut, the New York correspondent
of the Chicago I1ibRne thus describes
the display at lyric Hail, where forty
eight microscopica} subjects were on ex-
hibition:
A section o. human scalp about as
large as a pin-head looked like map of
the Grecian archipelago. The. islands
were painted green and the intervening
canals red, and liberty pole stood up
on a rocky peninsula and disappeared in
the clouds. This, the exhibitor said,
was q hair.
The bacillus tuberculosis, the monster
that burrows in the lungs and causes con-
sumption, was said to be LES, 900 OF an
inch long. It looked like the air-cusbion
that Peter Cooper sits down on.
The Lord S Prayer was exhibited photo
graped on a space smaller than a PIN
head Q-200 Of an inch) It looked
about as large as a pie-platter.
The file of catydid looked like a
sawmill saw geared into thrashing-
machine, and looked as if itwould cut
log in two at q clip.
Prof. r. Hitchcock exhibited life within
trout's egg and formenifera. The
latter, the ooze taken from a depth of
two miles and half in the South Attain
tic Ocean, had somewhat the appearance
Of four-leafed clover; while the former
arranged itself symmetrically, like pan
cakes orginger-snaps waiting to be eaten.
Trichin@, in pork, resembled gold
knotholes in the side Of eedar-barn;
but the more aged specimens looked like
those iron rings that are used for quoits,
with holes to put your thumb through.
A bit Of quartz crystal looked like an
exhibition of fireworks on Staten Island
-petritied pyrotechnics, as it were.
