Mems Neckwear.

One reason why the making of mems
neckwear has become so cheap is that
many married women and young girls
of fairly well-to-do-familes wish to earn
something for pocket money, and,
thinking this light and not unpleasant
work, take it home and do it. They do
not depend upon that for their bread,
and so do not have the same reasons for
trying to uphold the price. which is
now less than half what it was three
years ago. The women and girls who
work ut cravat-making are generally Of
superior class, mostly such as have
seen better days, and are ill-titted to
battle for justice, or of those who do not
really need money and do not realize
what a dreadful struggle it would be to
live entirely from the product of their
work at this trade.-M Y World

For the relief and cure of the infiam-
nation and congestion called "a cold in

EIy's Cream Balm than in anything
else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been
making brilliantsuccess as remedy
for cold in the head, catarrh and hay
fever. Used in the initial stages of
these complaints Cream Balm prevents
any serious development of the symp-
toms, while almost numberless cases

catarrh aud hay fever after all other
modes of treatment have pro, ed of no

Queerly Engraved Pens.

The city of Kieff in Russia is one of
the strongholds of the church. There
is the magnificent cathedral of ST.
Sophia and the splendid palace of the
Greek metropolitan. In spite of all
this the efforts to spread the gospel in
Kief have not been such as to satisfy
Mr.. Ivanoff. Mr.. Ivanoff is station
er and he adopted very peculiar way
to help along the good cause. Not
long ago q teacher of religion at a.
boys gymnasium in the city, hap
pened, during the lesson OF caligraphy,
to notice that a pupil was writing with
steel pen on which was represented
the crucifxion, and considering that
such a common object as a pen was
quite unworthy to have such holy
subjects represented upon it, he con-
fscated the offending article, and re-
ported the circumstance to the Kieff
consistorial court. There upon that
august body requested the police to
seize all the pens-more than fifty
boxes--of that particular make in the
possession of the vender, Mr.. Ivanof,
lodge them with the court, and to re-
port to the public prosecutor (of the
criminal court) that Ivanoff had or
dered the pens from Paris and was
publicly selling them. On the other
hand, Ivanoff, on his part, Immediate
ly petitioned the consistory court to
give back to him his goods, saying
that they had passed through the
Russian customs without any difficult
ty. He likewise disputed the right of
the consistory court to detain them,
and, still stronger, denied it's right to
have him brought before the criminal
court, for he maintained that the
engraving of holy subjects upon pens,
which are instruments of intellectual
culture, could by no manner of means
be considered in the light of criminal
act. There the matter ends for the

Scientific Figuring.

The extreme delicacy of the sense of
smell in man has been shown by q
series of experiments by Messrs.
Fischer and Penzoldt. In an empty
room of $50 cubic meters capacity,
and tightly closed, small quantity of
the substance to bedetected was thor
orghly mixed with the air, and the OBJ
server then admitted. Among the diff
ferent substances it was found that
the smallest amount recognizable was
.O1 of a milligram of mercaptane
This quantity diffused through the
room sufficed to make its distinctly
character appreciable in the small vol
ume of air coming in contact with the
nerves of the nose, from which it was
estimated that the 100000
part of milligrsm of this substance
was recognizable. Hitherto the spec
troscope has been considered the most
delicate Of all means of analysis, indi-
eating lees than the millionth part of
a milligram of sodium, but the sense of
smell, in the case of mercaptan, at
least, is seen to be at least 200 times
more delicate.

LOgan's Joke on Himself.
From the Chicago News

from the CnlcagO News.
William d. Eaton tells an amusing
story about Senator John A. Logan.
1t seems that some time ago the sena-
tor foresaW that the tariff question
was going to become one of the gray
est issues for congressional considera-
ton, and he very wisely determined to
devote some time and study to it.
Accordingly he sat down and ad-
dressed g. note to tie librarian of Con-
gress as follows: "My Dear Spoford:
Will you please send to my house
whatever works on the tariff, protec-
ton, free trade, ETC., you may hap
pen to have in the library. | will
see that they are returned in day or
two, as soon as [ have read them.
Yours, John A. Logan"
The next day, while Senator Logan
was at lunch, up drove two express
wagons loaded down with books OF
every size and description. Oneot the
drivers handed in this note: .'Dear
Senator: send herewith two wagon
loads of the books. Will send two
more this afternoon. Will send the
rest tomorrow if can get to it, but
our clerks are SO busy just now with
other work that I can't promise you
for certain. Yours, A. r. Spoford."
Senator Logan sent his books back
again as fast as he could, but he
thought the joke on himself such q
good one that he was the first to tell

A Heroine of Ten.

From the Boston RecordI
Rare presence OF mind and GOODNESS
In the time OF danger has been shown
by 1O-year- old daughter of Patrick
Barry, whose house and barn
were burned to the ground
early yesterday morning in the
Belmont district, Cambridge. Nellie,
who is the Oldest of five chill
.dren, ranging between 10 and 2 years,
has served in the capacity of house
keeper for her father since the death
OF her mother several months ago.
She and the little ones were left to take
care of themselves all day Monday,
Mr.. Barry having gone over to Dublin
district to celebrate.
Having carefully looked about the
premises, as has been her custom be-
fore going to bed, she persuaded her
baby brothers and sisters to retire.
She herself felt wakeful, and alarmed at
the non-arrival of her father. Being
somewhat overcome with fatigue, how
ever, she finally went to sleep, lying
upon the same bed with the children.
When she awoke it was to hear the
cracking OF burning timber and to be
almost blinded by sudden blaze OF
light. The barn which was a little to
the rear of the house, was completely
enveloped in flames, while the back
portion of the dwelling itself was
burning rapidly. The house is proba-
bly, half mile distant from the
nearest dwelling house, so that at the
time she opened her eyes she was alone,
not soul as yet having arrived upon
the scene.
Patrolman Roper of Station Five
was the first to discover the flames,
but before an alarm could be pulled in
he was obliged to travel nearly
mile. He was among the first to reach
the premises and saw Nellie as she
carried forth in her arms the last of
her baby brothers. They were all
naked, but we're kindly provided for,
and at once taken to the home Of an
aunt who lives in Dublin Street, North
Cambridge.
