A Remarkable Instrument.

Among the fiints Of the chalk for
nations is occasionally found one
which emits a clear musical sound
when struck with another flint. Tis-
sander tells of a distinguished
French musician, Fl. Baudre, who is
a Jealous collector of these musical
stones, and who mas Just succeeded
in making a unique piano from
them. In this instrument the tilnts
are suspended by wires above
sounding board, and are played
upon by two other tiints. The
stones of the piano number twenty
six, forming the two ehromatic oc-
taves, end were collected with much
patient labor during a period Of
more than thirty years. There
seems to be &c relation between
the size Of the stones and their
tones.

Not a Grain In Ii.

Give me a quarter of pound OF
black pepper" said a customer to
an uptown grocer recently. " l want
pure"
The grocer took down a little
package done up in tin foil and
adorned with = yellow paper bear
ing the legend: Pure Black Pep
per"
This is what sells for black pep
per in this part of the world, but see
ing | know you pretty well, ! don't
mini telling you there's not a grain
of black pepper in 1t. | worked for
five years in the milling room Of
spice mill, and I'm on to the busi-
ness from end to end. Now this
particular spice is made this way
Take eighty-6ye pounds of finely
ground bran, mixed with pulverized
charcoal-the last to represent the
black hull OF the pepper grain.
Their add fifteen pounds Of ground
cayenne pepper. and there you are
with 100 pounds of the purest black
pepper"
Well I'll be darned," eiaculated
the reporter.
It's the same way with mus
tard," the grocer continued. tlf-
teen to twenty pounds of cayenne
pepper. the balance of cheap wheat
flour colored yellow makes one hun
dred pounds of genuine mustard
The highest grades, which aren't
often retailed, contain as much as
one half of real mustard. But
cream of tartar is the biggest swim
die. A fifteen-pound can Of the low
grade contains one pound Of tartaric
acid and fourteen of terra alba. The
terra alba is a mild alkali, and neu-
tralizes the effect OF the acid. High
er grades of the mixtures contain a
triile more tartaric acid.
. You probably think you've eat
en- some cinnamon in your time,
the grocer went on. Well. you
haven't. | don'tsuppose there's ten
pounds Of cinnamon bark in the
United States. What passes for Gin
namOn is the bark of the cassia tree.
This il adulterated with a still
coarser bark known as cassia vera.
The article is also mixed with peas
and roast bran. | need not tell you
aboutroast coffee everybody knows
about that. It's Just the same way
through the whole list of spices. If
you could smuggle yourself into the
basement of some spice mill you
would find bins Of bran, peas, terra
alba, etc. When | went into the
mill where | worked, we had one
barrel of tartaric acid, and there was
considerable used out fit. When
l went away after five years. there
was some of the acid still in the bar
rel, and | suppose We had sold sew
eral tons Of cream of tartar"
"Well, I'll be darned, again NUT

That Sausage.

A clergyman in a Southern State
was on his way TO preach q funeral
sermon. As he was passing .he
house of a widow lady, a member of
his congregation, she ran out and
stopped him, saying, as they had
just slaughtered their hogs, she had
pus up few pounds of sausage as a
present, adding that, as she had put
it in double paper packets, she
thought it would not soil his clothes.
He thanked her for her kindness and
rode on, having put the parcel in his
pocket.
All the time he was officiating at
the grave large, half-starved hound
kept snuffing around him, some
times approaching alarmingly near,
attracted by the scent of the fresh
meat. As the deceased was a man
of some prominence, there was a
considerable crowd collected, and
great mourning and lamentation
came from the family group so no
one paid any attention to the move
ments of the animal, but all noticed
with concern-ior he was beloved by
his congregation-the great pallor of
the clergyman, and the beads of per-
|spiration standing upon his brow,
and they began to whisper to each
other that Mr.. H must be i'll.
After the interment they all pro-
ceeded to the church, where the fu-
neral sermon was to be preached.
just before entering, Mr.. II +
turned round to ascertain the where
abouts of his tormentor, when lol
there he was, not far from him, but
the crowd prevented him from ap-
preaching too closely. Just at this
moment some one gave the poor
creature 4 cruel kick, which sent
him off bowling. When the Iuinis-
ter reached his pulpit--one Of those
oldfashioned affairs assembled by
short, steep flight of steps-he be-
gan to breathe more freely. He was
Just about to commence his duties
when the sexton, a good old man,
came noiselessly up the steps with
slip of paper in his hand. which
he wanted to give to the minister,
but who was unnoticed by that gen.
tlen.an, though seen by all the con-
gregation. He gently twitched his
coat to attract his attention. A thrill
of horror passed over the unhappy
preacher at the dreadful thought
that the dog had entered unseen in
the crowd. and was now about TO
take forcible possession of the sau-
sage before the whole assembly; so,
hoping to drive him away, he kick
ed back cautiously but vigorously,
and struck the old man in the breast,
who rolled down the steps.
Seeing the look of surprise and
alarm on the faces of bis audience,
he stammered out 4" must explain
to you, brethren, what must seem to
you my intemperate conduct. A
friend came out to me as | was pass
ing her house, with small pack
age of sausage for me to carry home
in my pocket; but ever since l dis
mounted from my horse, this old
dog heren-pointing behind to the
PROSTATE sexton, but without look
ing around-''has been following
me, and at length came into the pull
pit, determined to get the sausage
from my pocket"
At this moment the sexton a little
stunned and little hurt, arose from
the floor, and the minister with a
glance took it all in, stared wildly
at him, took a drink of water, turn
ed very pale, sat down, overwhelm-
ed with CONSERVATION. Harper's

Using the Earth's Heat.

There is abundant reason for be-
lieving that the earths crust is very
thin, asserts Mr. J. Starkie Gardner,
and it seems most impossible that
some means may be devised for util-
izing the intense heat of the molten
mass below. This is already being
done. in fact to some extent, an arte-
sian well having been bored at
Pesth to obtain warm water for pub
lie baths, etc. From a depth Of
about 5000 feet large quantity Of
water heated to 161 degrees Fshren-
heit pours forth. and the boring is
to be continued until water at us
degrees is yielded.

A BIG STRIKE BREWING.
COAL MINERS QUITTING WORK.
The Most Extensive Movement Ever
Attempted - Ten thousand es-
pected TO Make a Strike.

PrTTsBURG. March 9--Tbe most extensive
movement ever attempted by the miners Of
Western Pennsylvania was partially begun
to-day. Ii the dictates Of recent conventions
are obeyed by the wOfkmen, not less than
ten thousand miners will soon be on a strike.
Late this evening news from the mines Was
that a majority would be out by tomorrow
and all, or most of them will have joined
hand.. They will then fight for three cents
a bushel The officers of the Miners As
soeiation have been working diligently and
successfully in getting out reluctant miners.
Along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and
the Youghioughen river the men were all out
in the first pool and but two mines are run
ming IN the fourth pool, which have always
bsen considered the miners weakest point.
The miners went out 10 a man with the ex
ceptiOn of two small pits of little cOnse-
quences. In the second and third pool only
three mines are reported running. Resher's
mine in the former has given III and agreed
TO pay three cents for coal shipped
by rail President Costello has been
in the fourth pool all day
together with a committee from the other
parts. He has been concentrating all his
powers of persuasion 10 bring every man
out. mass-meeting will be held to-nor-
row. which will be addressed by Costello
and others. Costello is confident the strike
will be success and that the operators will
pay the price demanded within the next ten
days. The operators are regarding the
strike with indifference. They say they will
not pay the price demanded. The strike
will be especially hard with the miners, a.
al present half of them are nearly starving
and the rest little better Off. The prospects
are that another long and bitter strike has
begun.
