Unique Dumb-bells.

An Augusta boy who went regu-
larly to the Young Mems Christian
Association gymnasium last winter
became much interested in devel-
oping his muscle. He had been
told the best way to do this was to
swing Indian clubs, beginning with
a light pair and gradually increas-
ing the weight as he became strong
er. AS this would necessitate the
purchase of several pairs of clubs,
which he could i'll afford, he hit
upon the following scheme: He
was the owner of two pups, which
though smallin size possessed to q
remarkable degree that tenacity of
grip for which the bulldog is so
justly celebrated. He easily taught
each of these to fix his teeth in the
end of short stick, and then tax
ing one of the sticks in each hand
waved them about his head in some
of the simple movements. AS the
dogs grew his strength increased,
and now he may be seen in easy
posture performing all the gfaceful
gyrations of an expert club-swinger
with two wooden handles, to the
ends of which couple of 15-pound
bulldogs hang by their teeth with q
grip.-Journal.

A Witty Physician.

There is great and celebrated
physician who invariably prescribes
for his patients one dish and one
glass of wine. The other evening
be chanced to find himself dining
with patient on one hand and a
staunch teetotaler on the other.
The patient, who through many
weary weeks had followed the dreary
curriculum of a dish and glass,
watched his physician to see in what
manner he dined, and was highly
incensed to find that the doctor ate
and drank heartily of everything
that came before him. At last he
burst forth:
"Well, sir, you certainly do not
practice what you preach. Why,
you have eaten of everything on
the menu"
''Ycs, yes" said the doctor testify,
''but what is man to do who runs
about all day and comes home at
night with twenty or forty letters to
answer? He must have bottle of
champagne"
Here the.teetotaler burst in angri-
ly, saying:
But doctor, do you mean to tell
me that man is better able to
answer twenty or forty letters when
he has had a bottle of champagne?"
"No," said the doctor, "but when
he has had e bottle Of champagne
he does not care q d-n whether
they are answered or not"

A Defense of the Mother.in-Law.

A vast majority of men, speak
ing from personal experience, would
say with us, we think, that tho
mother-in-law is one of the most
welcome, most convenient, and
most blessed features in social do
mestic economy. Surely there is
no good man that, thinking Of his
own mother and of his grandmother,
will not invoke Gods sweetest bless
ing on the dear old lady who is his
wife's mother and his children's
grandma.
Now, when it comes to the father
ln-law, we might sing in different
key. How does it happen that these
sarcastic penny-a.liners do not de-
vote their questionable talents to
a discussion of the father-in-law-
the cranky, wheezy, gummy old
gentleman who sits around on
the front stoop in the sun ali day
and snores like planning mill all
night? What does he know about
sick children? Have you ever seen
him teaching your small boy how
to sharpen slate pencil with the
bread knife? Has he ever linked
new eyes on your little girls rag
baby7 Did he ever put patches on
the knees of the boys trousers and
keep the family darning cleaned up
to date? Has he ever gone into the
kitchen and cooked a meal of vict-
uals whenever the hired girl floun-
ced off in rage? Has he ever done
but soger around like a
dog with a sore ear, and talk about
his liver and complain Of the de-
generacy of the times?
Yet you witlings humor this pes
ky varmint. Why? Because you
expect to get value received when
his will is probated. Venal wretches
that you are, you tolerate and fiat
ter this mumbling nuisance while
you execrate the dear old saint who
helps you hold up your hands
against the world.-Chicago News.

A Good Scheme.

A bald-headed man, who has made
a study of the fly question, noticed
that q fly always walked upward.
Put fly upon q window and up
he goes toward the top; he can
not be made to walk downward.
So he hit upon an idea. Why not
use that habit against them? Forth
with he made a window screen divi-
ded in half. The upper half Tapped
over the lower with an inch Of space
Between. Well, as soon as a Ely
would light on the screen he would
proceed to travel upward and thas
walk straight outside. Not being
able to walk down, he had no way to
return to the room. By this means
a room can be quickly cleared of
flies, which always seek the light .

Three Masculine Follioa,

The wise old .Comtessc de-
used to remark that there were three
follies of men which always amazed
.her-the first, climbing trees to
shake fruit, when if they waited
long enough the fruit would fall of
itself. The second was going to war
to kill one another, when if they
only waited they would die natur-
ally. The third was to run after
women, when if they only refrained
from doing so the women would
run after them.-Paris Figaro.

WHAT Is STEAM?

When water once begins to boil,
it is impossible to raise its temper
ature any higher; all excess of heat
is absorbed by the escaping, as SO
called, latent heat, and is given out
again when it condenses. We often
speak of seeing the steam escaping
from the mouth ofakettlc, bat this
is incorrect-steam is an Visible
vapor, and we can no more see it
than we can AIR. What we do see
are the minute drops of water into
which the steam condenses on COM
ing into the cool air. If We boil
water in glass flask, we shall no.

DATA OF HISTORY.

When Leopold Won Ranke began to
collect facts for his history, singular
accident occurred in his native town.
A bridge gave way one morning, and
some persons were swept away in the
current beneath. Won Ranke, who was
absent at the time, on his return in
quired into the details of the catastrophe.
81 saw the bridge fall" said one of
his neighbors. "a heavy wagon had
lust passed over it and weakened it
Two women were on the bridge and a
soldier on white horse"
81 saw it fall" declared another, "but
the wagon had passed over it two hours
previously. The foot passengers were
children, and the rider was civilian,o on
a black horse"
"Now," argued Won Ranke, ''if it is
impossible to learn the truth about an
accident which happened at broad noon
day only twenty-four hours ago, how
can declare any fact to be certain
which is shrouded in the darkness OF
ten centuries?

THE ILLS OF ROYALTY.

Most of the reigning families of Eu-
roge have some hereditary ailment or
defect. For several generations past
the Romanoffs have been troubled by
their livers.
The worst aflictiOn that reigning
families have to contend against is in
sanity, the germs of which are wide
spread amongst the rulers of the civil
lied quarters of the globe.
To quote but few examples, such
germs exist among the Romanoffs afore-
mentioned, as proved by the excesses of
Paul l., the hysteria of the great Catha-
rine, and the hypochOndria of Alexander
H.; these germs exist among the Haps-
burgs, who have married so repeatedly
with princesses of the Bavarian Royal
Family; and the insanity of the latter
has been strikingly exemplified by the
tragic fate of the late, and the imbecile
King of Bavaria. Nor are the HOhen-
zollerns free from the fatal germs.
The intense insanity observed by
Frederick William II. became open
madness in Frederick William ".
That insanity unhappily exists in the
Dutch royal house has been exemplitied
by the last two Princes of Orange, and
as regards the English reigning family,
one need merely remember the histori-
cal example of the last two Georges
the Fourth being well-nigh as mad as
the Third one, though his insanity took
different turn.
More recent examples bearing on the
same point might be found in the late
Duke of Brunswick, who led such a
fantastic life, and in the Duchess OF
Cumberland, Guelph by marriage on
", it is true, but the sister, be it remem-
ed, of the Princess of Wales.
