A Simple Scientific Experiment,

Take a bottle and place a cork over
the mouth. The cork must be suffi-
GENTLY large to rest lightly upon it,
without falling into the neck. Snap
the neck of the bottle sharply with the
thumb and finger, and the cork will fall
from the bottle towards the hand giving
the blow, and not away from it, as might
be expected. This effect is due to the
principle Of inertia, the quick blow
forcing, as it were, the bottle away from
the cork before the motion can be trans
mitted to the cork itself. Buffalo Times.

A. W. Rogers mas just returned from
a two months s%ojourn in Jamaica, and
is rejoicing in what is to him compare
lively COO. weather. He said; They
don't make molasses for export in ia
maica any more. Everything they can
get for the purpose is put into rum. Rum
brings more than sugar, and anything
that will decay or ferment is put into it.
II YOU knew the stuff they put into rum
YOU would confine your drink-if you
drink-to potato whisky. Why, sticks,
straw, any decayed vegetable substance
seems good enough in the eyes OF the
planters of Jamaica to put into their
rum. The natives of the island and the
operatives in the mill don't drink it.
Their chief drink is sugar and water."-

EMANCIPATION 4 SUCCESS.
The Experiment In Brazil Yields Satis-
 factory Results.

The year just closed has proved to every candid observer that the dan gers and evils predicted of emancipa- tion were in a great measure unfOund- ed. There has been no breach of tho peace by the freedmen, no effort to overturn existing institutions, no threats against the security of life and property. On the contrary, the prin- cipal disturbances of the year have originated with the military, who are expected to preserve order and the only threats against the peace and c5- abolished institutions have originated with the Republicans, who were very generally opposed to emancipation and are in many places the allies of the anti-abolitionists. So far as they have been concerned the abolitionists and freedmen have worked together as harmoniously and zealously as cir cumstances have permitted to main tain order and to carry on the indus tries of the country without any inter- ruption.
 To great eXtent-much greater than was anticipated by many of their friends - they have succeeded; and they would have secured still great CT success had it not been for the act i've hostility of a faction which pre- ferred to see the country ruined than that emancipation should prove sue cess. At the outset the freedmen very gen orally accepted their newly acquired freedom quietly, and were willing to remain on the plantations to assist in gathering the large coffee crop. In a great majority ot cases they remained with their old masters. Later on, however, through bad treat ment, the non-payment Of their wages. the tempting offers of other planters who were not too scrupuious in tam pering with a neighbor's laborers, and through a not unnatural craving for change, very general movement set in among the freedmen which has re- suited in a considerable disorganiZa- tion of labor. Instead of trying to reconcile their differences and to re- move all causes of complaint on the part of the freedmen, the planters have done their best to ignore them as necessary element of labor and to fill their places with colonists. This has unavoidably caused bad results and promises to lead to much mischief
 
 however. the law of May IS, 1888, has been productive of great good to the country. The justice of the act must stand unquestioned. - Rio de Janeirt News.

In Search of Information.

A woman with a profusion of silk dress and rhinestone jewelry, accom- panied by boy about eight years old, boarded parlor car at a small town beyond Syracuse, and they had scarce ly got seated when the mother began to talk about her three trunks, and papa, and the horses and carriage, and wonder if they would hit the Cape May train when they reached New York The boy didn't have much to say, but looked about the car with the liveliest curiosity, evidently hay ing entered one for the first time. By and by he blurted out;

Tie Moro There Arc Like Them the
 Better for All Concerned.
 We have reason to believe that the type of girlhood described in the fol- lowing extract from as article in the Christian Advocate may be found in the homes of many of our readers; and the more of such girls the better;
 There is girl, anu love to think of her and talk of her. who comes in late when there is company, who wears a pretty little air of mingled responsibility and anxiety with her youth whom the others seem to depend on and look to for many comforts. She is the girl who helps mother
 In her own home she is blessed little saint and comforter. She takes unfinished tasks from the tired, stitf fingers that faiter at their work; her strong young figure is staff upon which the gray-haired, whitehead mother leans and is rested Shc helps mother with the spring sewing, with the weeks mending, with a cheerful conversation and congcnial companion ship that some girls do not think worth while wasting on only mother, And when there comes day that she must bend. as girls must often bend, over the old out body of mother lying un- heedful in her coffin, rough hands fold ed, her long disquiet merged in rest. something very sweet will be mingled with her loss. and the girl who helped mother will find benedjction of peace upon her head and in her heart.
 The girl who works God Hess her is another girl whom 1 know. Sho is brave and active she is not too proud 10 earn her own living. or ashamed to De caught at her daily task. She is studious and pains taking and patient. She smiles at you from behind counter or desk. There is a memory of her sown into each silken gown She is like a beautiful noun taineer already far up the hill, and the sight of her should be a fine inspiration for us alI It tis an honor to known this girl to De worthy of her regard, Her hand may be stained with factory grease or printers ink, but it is an hon est hand and helping hand. It stays misfortune from many homes; it Is the one shield that protects many torLorn little family from the almshou5o and asylum.

The Heaviest Boy on Record.

Mir $ W. Power, who lives about eight miles from Nashville, Ark, was in the city yesterday with his son, a lad of ten years: The little fellow gave his name as Zelates Orestes Power. He is something of a wonder in his way, weighing at this early age 234 pounds. Considering his pon- derous size for a child of ten he is quite active. He enjoys good health, is intelligent and even industrious that is, as far as is compatible with his great weight and tender years He has quite tact for machinery, and has great mechanical ingenuity. When walking the streets he presents the appearance of huge miniature giant. He is about the height of chil- dren at the age of ten ordinarily, pos sibly some taller, but not much. His parents are of average size and not large. They stand high in the'r com munity. They live at Corinth, a small interior town In this county Little Rock Gazette.

THE COMING HUMORIST.
For the Sake of Mankind He Should Be
 Headed or at Once.

Headed or at Once.
 "See here, Mrs. Juniper" said Mir. Juniper the other day, 'do you know what I'm going to do?'
 Why, no; of course not How should I?"
 Well, if you'd d been as wide awake as some people you'd have suggested it yourself long ago. I'm going to turn humorist."
 Turn what?"
 "Oh, you needn't act as if you think couldn't and try to throw cold water on the scheme. 1 know what I'm about. I've read lots of times of late that there was the greatest demand for humorous matter by papers and magazines of every sort, and that gen. uine humor sold like hot cakes. Folks like to laugh. May be you didn know I was born humorist, eh?"
 No, I didn't know it." said Mrs. Juniper, briefly.
 Well, it's simply because you've neglected your privilege, said Juniper. But some folks don't know humor when they hear and see it. 1t ain { every body that's born with the gift When l was a young fellow folks used to just roar over all 1 said and did. !"
 Fl don't doubt it," said Mrs. Juniper, tersely.
 Well, they did, and it was simply because 1 said and did so many keen and funny things. Once l pinned a rag to our preachers cOat-tail while he was walking up tile aisle to the pull pit. thought I'd die laughing" Y"
 Fl don't see any thing very smart about that, said Mrs. Juniper.
 "Oh, of course not; you ain got the faintest perception of wit. That s why. I used to new like cat in church and bark like dog at other public meetings, and folks used to fairly roar over it. l was just that full of humor And at parties I'd keep them all screaming by suddenly standing on my head in corners, or popping beans at folks and tripping fellows up. Once pulled a chair out from under a fat old lady who was about to sit down, and she came ker- Hump on the floor. Well. sir, fl every body didn't yell! l was full of cute, little humorous things like that "
 I'm glad you re not full of them now"
 "Oh, you arc, eh? Well, it won't take me long to think up lot of old tricks and jokes Now, how this for joke: 'Ha, Smith, said Jones. where you bound for so fast? Don { stop me, man. cried Smith. My mother-in-law comes in at eleven, and m of on the ten O clock train IIa, hal And you didn't know l was a humorist? Little things like that will lake. They'll sell like hot cakes at from three to four dollars each, and can think them up by the dozen. Now, here's a conundrum that I'll bet will go the rounds of every paper in Amer ica after I've sold it for ten dollars: Whats the difference between a drowned humorist and wagon? Never'd guess that in the world. would you? No? Well. hold your sides and I'll tell you! One is a wagon and tho other is a gone wag Hal na! hal Tha"ll tahet I'm going to get right to work on some rich mother-in-law jokes and some taking little sketches about how a man puts up anfove, and how women act when they see a meGse and another idiot is turned loose on the newspaper offices.

Southern Negro Superstitions.

Women in the North have trouble enough over the servant girl question, but their ways are paths of pleasant ness compared with those of Southern women except that the Southern wo- man is less disturbed over the more serious situation. Whom a Virginia woman wants to change girls she is compelled to go at least three days without any girl at all. The kitchen help is black, of course. and supersti- tious No colored girl will go into a house until three days after the retir- inc help has vanished, for fear of being .tricked' d'-in other words, hoodooed. placed under spell-by the dismissed help. Whatever the colored person doesn't understand he fears. He is full of superstitions, believes in good luck from the rabbit foot when in bis own possession, and in bad luck when it is put on him Not long ago a largo number of negroes were on Virginia railroad platform waiting for train to take them to picnic ground. Bos- ton drummer, with face as serious as a parsons. took a piece of chalk and a rabbit foot, and in tho most business like way began to make crosses on the backs of the negroes and touch fhem with the rabbi. foot The crowd oroke for the woods in panic and there was no picnic that day.

Perhaps it was fastened to the wearer's neck by a tilament Or cord of silk tied through. The pres ent owner has arranged modern clasp in the shape of the lotus flower IL can still be used, and, indeed as well as ever, as an ornament for one in full dress. It is so flexible. falling down into picturesque folds the mo- ment it is let go, that it seems more like ribbon Of delicate tissue than like mere metal An expert gold smith told me, after he had examined it with his glass, that it undoubtedly had a pcrfectness of uniformity in the links which could be found only in a chain manufactured by machin- cry.
 This was to mo a matter of won- der, for was not prepared to learn that the ancient Egyptians had the knowledge of machines which could produce woven fabrics from pure gold It was at once a discovery and a delight. It must be confessed that when 1 have spoken of this necklace as belonging to a princess l have had no actual authority. It dates from the age of Moses, if Herr Brugsch is correct, learned period. it is fact, but how much acqualnt- ance the nation had then with deli cate machinery it is not easy to say. This ornament was found in one of that range Of tombs opened along the Nile, where royal and priestly burials were frequent It may have been worn by a daughter of a king, but not yet is any one able to give her name. her lineage, or her history. - Charles $.
