THE LAND OF rHus-Ano.so.


SLOW would Willie | Ike 20 go
To the land OF Thus-and-Sof
Everything Is proper there
All the children comb their hair
Smoother than the fur OF cats,
OR the nap OF high silk hats;
Every face IL clean and white
As a lily washed in light;
Never vaguest soil or speck
Found on forehead, throat or mock;
Every little crmpled car,
In and out, ms pure and clear
AS the cherry blossoms blow
In the land OF Thusand-So.
"Littlo boys that never fall
Down the stairs, or cry at all
Doing nothing To repent,
Watchful and obedlent;
Never hungry. nor In haste
Tidy shocstrings always laced;
Never button rudely torn
From tte fellows all unworn;
Knickerbockers always new
Ribbon-tie, and collar, too:
Little watches, worn like mon,
Only always half-past ten
Just precisely right, you know,
For the land OF 1hus'aDd-Soi
{" And tho little babies there
Give no one the slightest care
Nurse has not a thing TO do
But DO happy and say Boo!
while mamma just mods, and knows
Nothing but TO doze and doze;
Never litter around the CRATE;
Never lunch or dinner late;
Never any household din
Peals without or rings within
Baby-coos nor laughing calls,
On tho stairs, or through the halls
Just great Hushes TO and fro
Pace the land of Thus-and-So!
40 the land of Thus.and-Sol
Isn't it delightful, thought
Yes" lisped Willie, answering mo
Somewhat slow and doubtfully-
"Must DO awful nice-but
Ruther wait till by and by

Closer pressed In my embrace
Les don't never ever go

APPARATUS FOR DETECTING FIREDAMP.
placed within q coal mine and the other In
the superintendents Office. Should an in
flow Of firedamp occur in the mine, the beam
OF the balance will instantly turn, carrying
warning signals and alarms wherever want
ed, together with information to the office
showing the degree Of change in the atmos-
phere Of the mine. Ample time thus will be
afforded, whether in night or day, to secure
the safety Of the miners; and the condition
Of the mine, whether safe or dangerous, will
at all times be indicated by the instrument.
Mr.. Carleton has had no end of romantic
history. He Is the son of Gen. Carleton, and
was educated as a mining engineer. Hisin-
herited love for military career drew him
into the regular army. Becoming weary of
q soldiers life. he turn cd to earning splen-
did living by his pen. Some of his work
during the Grant 'obsequies brought him
500 column. As humorous writer he
could not possibly supply the demand for his
work only for the fact, as he says, that he
comes high. In course of a chat with Carle-
ton the other day he told me of one of the
inventions Of his fertile brain, and how 1t
brought fortune to another. Carleton, by
the way, is the most delicious stammerer in
the world When his tongue trips up and
fails to work, he does not make any attempt
at talking, but simply stops short until the
balky vocal organ is ready to 60 ahead.
There are many bitches and delays in his
conversation, but 1t Is more than made up for
by the richness Of his humor and the clever
ness of his ideas. His invention ON which
another reaped the reward was this: While
workin0 IN n Naw 0rIoopo uo v,ar bo f,,,rd
there was a certain style of broad humor
and little digs at religion that no paper east
would care to own. 80 he hit on the idea of
crediting all these paragraphs to a little
Oshkosh paper that he had run across In his
army experience. No jokes of that time
were copied or circulated SO largely as those
from what we will call The Oshkosh Gazette.
Several years afterwards he happened to be
in Oshkosh, and he thought he would SEQ if
this paper was still in existence. Instead Of
the tumble-down shanty, Of which he carried
a picture in his memory, he found o substau-
tial brick building as the home Of The Ga
sette. He went in and complimented the
on his prosperity. In the course
of conversation the latter admitted that it
was largely due to the work of some blamed
fool in the east, who kept crediting stories to
his paper For time he could not under
stand why the '.ads, subscriptions and de-
mands for his paper came 50 suddenly from
the east But when he did 'catch on" he
said he simply republished as original all the
Jokes floating around the country credited
to his paper. So this unknown paragrapher
brought him fame and fortune. "Thus,"
adds Mr. Carleton, 'do the righteous ever
triumph and virtue reaps its own reward"

the humorous work
on the editorial page of The New York Times
He has been the subject of much newspaper
gossip since. Now he comes to the front as
phi!an.aropist in the invention of an in
genious and sorely-needed contrivance for
the purpose of indicating the presence or ap-
proach Of firedamp and other dangerous
gases in coal mines. The idea is bestowed
gratis on the world by the inventor, he de-
clining to take out patents on any of the
parts or devices which enter into the construc.
tion Of the machine. This invention will
likely bring his name down to posterity
linked with that Of Sir Humphrey Davy,
who devised the present safety lamp The
advantage of Mr.. Carletons device over that
Of the Davy safety lamp is that he can by
his device detect a fraction Of per cent. of
firedamp, while the Davy lamp will indicate
only 4 per cent, which Is at times danger
Gus. The way to detect an explosive mix
ture in mine with the safety lamp is after
the well known recipe for telling toadstool
--eat it, and If you live 1t is a mushroom. II
you go into mine with the Davy safety
lamp and there is an explosion, it was caused
BY firedamp With Mr.. Carleton's invention
danger is automatically recorded at the
ohice Of ths company, so that it is not nece
sary to enter the mine for an examination.
1t consists, says The Scientific American,
Of a pair Of balances, each having at the
beam rece otacle containing given guam
tty of hydrogen gas; the receptacles are
duly counterba! !ancei. The moving parts Of
the two instruments are electrically con.
nected and when properly adjusted any
motion Of one balance will instantly affect
