He Came to 1t.
Detroit Free Press.

The railroad passenger who leaves
from any depot in Detroit must show
his ticket at the gate. The idea is to
keep dead-heads off the trains and
prevent people from making mistakes,
but it's a poor day when dozen kick
ers don't show up.
The other morning man with a
very, very iron,jaw and lots of width
between the eyes reached one of the
gates with parcel under each arm.
"TIcket, SIR"
'In my pocket.
'Show your ticket!"
Cant you take my word that I've
got ticket?'
please show your ticket"
Gam [ liar?" demanded the pas
senger.
''TIcket, sir; show your ticket"
I'll be hanged if [ do"
Cali right; please stand back"
''Look- here" said the man with
the metal in his jaw, 'Ill stay here a
thousand years before I'll show my
ticket at that gate. "
A dozen people laughed at him, but
he let the train go out and walked
around with his parcels under his arm.
He got no consolation for long two
hours Thea a chap with a battered
white plug hat, rundown boots, and
last year S clothes slouched up to him,
held out greasy paw, and said:
"Pardner, put it thar Both of us
dead broke. Both of us want to get
out out O here. Both OF us got left at
the gate. Partner, I'll toss up to see
whether you pawn your red whiskers
or [ spout my old hat for two schoon-
ers of beer!''
The wide eyed man laid down his
bundles, and kicked the other with
such force that he fell fiat. When he
had picked himself up he walked
straight to the gate, exhibited his
ticket, and passed through with the
remark:
There it is-there it is but I'll beat
the conductor or die with my boots

superiority.

Watches are queer things, says a
writer ia the jewelers. Circular. They
I possess some unaccountable psculi-
arities. For instance, some time
last summer, when there had been a
succession of fine displays of the
aurora borealis, it was estimated IN
single night in the city of New York
that the mainsprings of not less than
5000 watches broke. This estimate
is based on actual inquiries. Fine,
sensitive watches are particularly
liable to be- effected by electrical at
mospheric disturbances. During the
months of June, July, and August,
when these phenomena arc most
frequent, there are more mainspr1ngs
broken than all the remaining months
Of the year. They break in a variety
OF ways, sometimes swapping into as
many as twenty seven pieces. It is a
fact that since the introduction of the
electric light has become SO general a
large number of watches, some of
them very fine ones, have become

The owner, jeweler, puzzled himself

Scarlet fever, clearly. He felt his

The doctor, deep in cogitation over
this strange phenomenon, happened
to throw back the bed clothes and dis
covered a red blanket. 1t was the
color of the dying mans face. 1t was
the cause of all the trouble. A rather

Iron Works made one of the largest
castings ever made in this city. It
was a hydraulic press. The casting
weighed over 40. 900 pouads, the metal
for which was melted in a little over
one hour and half Larger presses
of the same pattern have been cast in
New York and New Orleans, but never
before has one so large been attempted
in any foundry of this city. The
press will have a five-foou stroke. and
a resisting power of 10000 pounds to

the casting six experienced men were
kvpt busy for two weeks. It will re-
quire six days for the metal to
