The Miniature Locomotive.

Following are some points about the
little locomotive built at Oil City, Penn,
the smallest engine in the world, being
but eight inches long and weighing but
a pound and half. Three years, count
ing ten hours as a days labor, have been
devoted to its construction. There are 585
screws in the engine. The steam -guage
is but one-quarter of an inch in diameter; (;
the pump throws but one drop of water
every stroke; the headlight is only one
half an inch in width, seven-eighths of
an inch high and three-eighths of an
inch long. The space in the lamp is so
small that it was almost impossible to
get enough oxygen in it to support the
combustion. The fire is kindled by
using a gill of alcohol, which runs the
engine for half an hour. The stroke of
the cylinder is one inch; bore 5-16; the
throttle-lever is but tive-eighths of an
inch long, arranged with a thumb latch
and click; the fire-box is seven-cighths
of an inch wide and one-inch long, the
smoke stack one and one-fourth inches
high and five -sixteenths of an inch in
diameter; the steam dome is nine-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter; the driv-
ing wheels are one and one-half inches
in diameter; the front truck-wheels. half
an inch, and those of the tender afe OF
the same size. The tender is but three
and three e-fourths inches long, two and
one-eighth inches wide and two inches
high. The metals used in its construc-
ton are brass, solid silver, gold c@d
steel.

The boy who stole up behind the ham
mock and cut the rope at the head-end,
under the impression that his brother
was in it, and let his father down on the
stoop so hard that it shot his artificial
teeth out of his mouth and halfway
across the lawn, will never undertake to
cut another hammock-rope, if a solid
opinion may be based on sound. And that
boy will never forget how mean and
crest-fallen and low-down he felt when
he saw his little brother, whom he had
set out to play the joke on, looking
around the corner of the house while the
old gentleman was prescribing the sprig
of Usage e-orange.-Puck.

PhysiOgnOmies,

A physiognomist in the Pail Mall Ga
sette says A scholarly person will have
good length of brain from the opening
of the ear to the root OF the nose, and
will be full all across the brow. The
mechanical man has wide head at the
temples upward and forward of the ear.
The poet is expanded in the upper part
of the temples. The commercial man
has broad head just forward of the
ears, where the desire for property is
represented. The quarrelsome man is
broad above and behind the ears; such
men are inclined TO be warlike, or very
forcible and energetic in business. The
pious and sympathetic person is de-
veloped in the top head. Those who
have a lordly, proud, dominating nature
are high at the crown of the head.
Those who are social, warm hearted, low
ing and affectionate are largely developed
in the back part of the head, and the
distance from the opening at the ear is
long.

Primitive Customs Of the Highland
CrOfters.

"The people are up and in commotion
like bees about to swarm. The different
families bring their herds together and
drive them away. The sheep lead, the
cattle go next, the younger preceding,
burdens of sticks, heather-ropes, spades
and other things needed to repair their
summer huts. The women carry bed
ding, meal, dairy and cooking utensils.
Bound below their waists is thick
woolen cord or leather strap, underneath
which their skirts are drawn up to en-
able them to walk easily over the moors.
Barefooted, bareheaded, comely boys and
girls, with gaunt, sagacious dogs, fit,
hither and thither, keeping the herds to-
gether as best they can, and every now
and then having a neck and-neck race
with some perverse animal trying to run
away home. All who meet on
the way bless the Trial, as this removing
is called. They wish the 'Trial'good luck
and prosperity and a good fitting day,
and having invoked the care of Israels
shepherd on man and beast they pass on.
When the grazing ground has been
reached and the burdens are laid down
the huts are repaired outwardly and in
wardly, the fires are rekindled and food
is prepared. The people bring forward
their stock, every mans stock separately,
and, as they are being driven into the
enclosure, the constable and another
man at either side of the gateway see
that only the proper souming--that is,
head of stock-has been brought to the
grazing. This precaution over, the cattle
are turned out to Craze

Men with pointed and smooth fingers
will be poets, artists, inspired, lovers of
the fine arts, with taste for form and
elegance. But they will live no real life.
People with smooth and square fingers
will have taste for the sciences, moral,
political, social, philosophical. They
will love art by reason of their smooth
fingers, but rather the arts based upon
nature and truth than Imagination. Peo-
pie with spatuled and smooth fingers
will love things useful and sensible. They
will have an instructive knowledge of
real life, and a restless desire for action,
bodily exercise, and all kinds of manual
occupations. They will love horses,
dogs, hunting, sailing, war, and all stir
ring employments. Spatuled, with
smooth fingers, will have passion, inspira-
ton, instinct. They will love art,
whether painting, poetry, or literature (;

CURRENT COMMENT.

New York Star: BY all means, let the
widows of Democratic Presidents be sOlc-
tied to grace the celebration of the return
to power of the Democratic party.
Selma (Ala.) Times: Now it will al
ways be the proud privilege of the South
to point to the fact that her voice was
country In this crisis.
Chicago Inter Ocean: A Pittsburg
man has published book entitled "a
Guide Book to Heaven" 1t will be just
like the Democratic papers to call it 'sec-
tional,' because they don't travel that
way.
Philadelphia Press: The mugwump
has fulfilled his destiny. He will please
sit down In the corner and cool his fin
gers while the chestnuts he pulled out of
the fire are being sampled by the Demo-
cratic monkey.
New York Sun: No President has ever
proposed more important measures, and
none has stated his ideas In a simpler
and clearer style. The literary form of
the message is rather scattering, how
ever. But it has the merit of being short.
New York Sun: Why is it that upon
none of the various cabinet lists prepared
by our numerous contemporaries do we
find the name of Hon. John G.. Carlisle?
Neither have we noticed the name of Col.
William r. Morrison. 1t seems rather
odd.
New York Sun: 1t appears, then, that
somewhere between the Cleveland Inde-
pendents of the Schurz type and the old
fashioned Democrats of the Thurman
type there is an intermediate class of
Democrats, who alone are properly quail
fed to surround and advise the new adj
ministration.
Buffalo Courier: Mr.. Hendricks is one
of the incest and most harmless men if
let alone, but people who force him into a
fight are nearly always sorry; and if the
mugwumps insist on kicking him out of
the Democratic party, the thing may re-
suit in their getting kicked out them
selves. Let us have peacel

THE IRISH VOTE

There seems to be a disposition in some
quarters to ascribe the defeat of Blaine
to the famous remark OF DR.. Burchard.
This conclusion rests upon the assump-
tion that many Catholics, who otherwise
would have voted for Blaine. refused to
do So because Of the language used by
DIR Burchard. Without discussing the
propriety. either by the sentiment or its
expression. It Is IN order 70 consider Che

ABLE TO CARRY 1T ALL.
An Italian Woman Convinces Crowd That
She Has Great Head.
IN Y Times1

n. Y. Times.1
\ shopkeeper near the City Hall elevated
railway station broke up few old boxes
yesterday and left the wood piled up on
the curb-stone. Two persons went into his
store and asked him for it. One was an
Irishman, able bodied, apparently strong,
and rich enough to own paper of chewing
tobacco. The other was an Italian woman,
dirty and avaricious looking, with bronzed
and wrickled face, small blue eyes, a rag
ged dress of gaudy flannel, and low, thick
shoes. The shopkeeper turned to the wom-
an.
take it away quick" he said, sharply.
"Yez can't carry it all; lave me soom, :,
said the Irishman.
The woman made no reply, but il was ev-
ident that she meant to carry off all that
wood or none OF it. The Irishman and sew
eral other idle men stood around to watch
her do it. She didn't work i'm hurry. The
Aldermen canvassing the city vote were
not more deliberate than she was. After
taking a thorough survey of the situation,
she picked up few pieces of wood, crossed
the street with them, and piled them up on
the edge of the stone coping of the steps
leading into the Registers office. Then she
set a prematurely precocious little girl TO
guard the pile while she went back for the
remainder. For half an hour she deliber-
ately lodged the stream of vehicles
with her arms full of wood. She
built up her pile as carefully as a
boy manipulates his toy ssbox of
bricks.r It looked too large for any
ordinary human being to lift and carry.
The Irishman looked ON with patient
amusement. but the woman worked on with
determined perseverance. Passers-by be-
gan TO grow interested.
Finally the little woman had the wood
all stacked on the steps OF the Regiser's 5
office, tied il with piece of cord. and
rested awhile for breath. The crowd
formed circle around her and watched
her with some curiosity. Teamsters stop
ped and looked on In wonder. The woman
paid not the siightest attention 60 them.
The pile Of wood was at least four feet
high. She was not much more than Eve
feet in height. She fumhlei around what
was presumed 20 he her hustle Tor a mo-
mant and hronrht forth something which
