"Mother, who is this Martin Luther
that the newspapers are making 80 much
talk about just now?" asked fashion
able New York young woman.
"Martin Luther-Luther ?" unused
the mother. "The name sounds familiar
enough. What has he been doing?'
81 can't exactly make out, but it
must Lave been something nice. They
are celebrating his birthday"
Sc Is he foreigner ?" asked the
mother.
"He must be, or the people in this
country wouldn't make such fuss over
him."
"Luther- continued the
mother; met a Mr.. Luther in Paris
last year-that delightful gentleman,
you remember, who took us to drive,
and who afterwards borrowed 800 oil
your father and forgot to return it, but
I don't think his first name was Martin.
This gentleman is probably some cele.
brated Englishman who is coming to
this country to lecture. You must speak
to your father about tickets for the open.

SOME SCIENCE.

DOGS, rabbits, and Guinea pigs were
kept by NJ. Paincare in an atmosphere
resembling that which is usually
breathed by persons who use petroleum.
The Guinea pigs alone succumbed after
remaining from one to two years in this
medium. The other animals appeared
to resist indefinitely. He nevertheless
recommends persons employing petro-
leum as source of heat or light, or who
treat it indust1iously, to keep their stock
in closed vessels, to attend to ventila-
ton, and to execute the operations of
rectification. etc., under draught-hoods.
The Scientific American says: "Mr.
Strob, during discussion at the last
meeting of the Telegraph Engineers, de-
scribed highly ingenious experiment.
with the microphone, from which he de-
duced that during the time when the

microphonic contact they are not in con-
tact at all, or, at all events, that there is
a repellent action at the point of con-
tact. In the experiments the displace-

N. TRoUvE, in his improved electric
battery, takes $50 grammes of bichro-
mate of potash powder to like amount
Of water, and, after slaking, adds. drop

on cooling. nor are crome alum crystals
deposited in the cell. The elements are
arranged with two cartoons to each zinc,
the latter being 50 placed that it can be
drawn from the solution. With twelve
elements and the solution above de.
scribed, it is stated that ten mean

The Story of a Bullet.

from the New Orleans Picayune
On the Sth of October, 1872, John j.
Flatly was shot by Peter McDermott,
at the corner OF Girod and Tchoupitou-
las Streets. The bullet, a 32-caliber,
entered the left eye, and passing across
the face, lodged in the inside of the neck
on the right side.
For year or two Flatly's mind wan
dered, and for about six mouths he was
an inmate Of the Charity Hospital. 1t
was found impossible to locate the bull
let, and its course could not be traced.
Flatly's condition was for years consid-
cred to be such that any undue excite.
ment might cause death.
On Thursday last Flatly experienced
q peculiar sensation and severe pain in
his throat. He coughed, and to his
utter surprise and relief the bullet, shot
into his head eleven years before, fell
out on the floor. He picked up the lit.
tie pellet which had caused him 80 much
pain and uneasiness, and is now fully
restored to health.
Fiatly was a soldier in Lees army,
and left the city in the Emmett Guards,
and was wounded three times during the
war. He is now member of the army
of Northern Virginia.

PUMPKIN PIES.
By H. .. XELLEl

bY H. .. KELLER.
Gentle stranger. let me ask
Did yon ever stop to bask
III the atmosphere of cooking,
When maiden fair ia looking.
Askancely from the depths
Of her 1impid, azure eyes
As she shoves IN the big oven
Those delicious pumpkin pies?
All, what ecstacies appealing,
AS arenas gently stealing,
Permeate the rural kitchen
Whose confines hold fair witch in
Fascinating, dainty, rare.
'F~re Your 'toxicated eyes.
IT'S the maiden, dour laden
Manipulation of the pies.
Pumpkin pies! What memories rise
Even to the sunny skie:,
As she opens fore your eyes
The big oven she did shove in
Those delicious pumpkin pies.
Golden orts Of luscious glory
Never had the world story
Fairer to the hearts Of man,
Aye! to hearts of mortal clan,
Than the manuscript in yellow
Hot and toothsome fore your eyes.
And fain would long to spell, oh,
Worldly bliss-in pumpkin pies.
Quarter. half, the whole, oh, give it.;
l could dwell IN bliss and live it
In an hour such as this,
All. forevermore wis
Sitting by the stove in kitchen
Whose CO. fines hold fair witch in,
Fascinating, osinty, rare,
Askanc-ly slaucing from her eyes,
At me, over pumpkin pies.

Not What He Wanted.

While the city register Of Providence
was filling out certificates of vaccination
for school children, brawny young
Irishmau entered and asked for certifi-
cate. The official examined his arm to
SEQ if the virus had done its work, made
out the usual document, babe the Irish
man good-day, and went on with his
work. About IS minutes later he was
surprised by the re-. entrance of the same
young man, who asked: "Was it q
small pox certificate you gave me, I dun
nor' cit was," replied the register.
"Well, then. ye can take it back and
make out bit of q marriage license,
for it's meself that's been counting q fiue
young lass for siven months, and sure
we want TO sittle down.

regular order of march was once more
adopted. There was no longer any con.
versation; everybody felt exhausted,
Suddenly there was loud cry. It wal
shout of unmistakable joy.
"Hurrah! see her. 1 see the LIGHT

"There, right ahead on the track. az

"Why, sheriff, you can't help seeing
it," said the ticket agent. ''Just follow
my finger!"
"Oh! I've got it now"
Everybody saw it and felt elated in
consequence. The long tramp was for.

minute through the gray morning m1st.

without having been rified by the James
boys. 1t was probably some triAing &C.
cident to the locomotive that Tim Tier
nan was waiting for daylight to repair.
The whole crowd could now run back
with Jem Harris to breakfast at Silver
Bow. And what a splendid joke was
this hunt for "67." It would be in all
the newspapers, and written up by pro-
fessional humo1i lists, and cause no end of
fun. The now Ight.hearted wsyfarers
walked briskly on. They "spurted a
little, as there was some distance yet to
go before coming up to the cleaning
headlight. Indeed, the outline of the
train could not be distinguished clearly
in the early morning darkness, the misty
atmosphere making the light on the
open and level country appear nearer
than it really was.
We'll, boys" the sheriff said, "this
may be the last time I may have occa.
sion to address you as a body. I think
we all ought to be proud of our work.
We've stood the rain, the cold and the
tramp without finching, and Ill see
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
takes care of u.s."
"Let's get it over as soon as possible.
What dye say to run ?" suggested the
ticket agent. We've been walking all
the time"
"Good!" was the response from doz-
en- husky threats.
"a run be it, then!" exclaimed the
sheriff. "Forward! Double quick!"
The whole party set off toward the
light at high rate OF speed. The no
damp earth resounded with the quick.
measured step Of the courageous little
band The headlight was at hand. An
other couple Of hundred yards and they
would reach it. The runners breathed
hard, but there would be rest in a min
ute or two. Hurrah! the red-bearded
miner is the first man to disappear in
the mist ahead of the others. He must
be OIL the train by this time. The sheriff
is good second. There was a deep
growl of disappointment. The light
from the fixed kerosene lamp with bright
reflector threw it's rays over the excited
men and the bare railroad track, and
they looked up and read, by the faint
daylight, the legend, LONE TOMB,
above the platform of the station.

How Watch Cases are Made.

How Watch Cases are Made.
This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used i'll
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only ,catch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
Unpopular prejudice against "plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not
cheap gold-washed or electro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Cold
Watch Case the STANDARD. Trade MARK
In this watch case the parts q y
most subject to wear-the bo,c, cropn, hinges,
Mun,b-catches, etc., are made of SOLID GOLD.
