SAMUEL CRUNp of Montc'air, n. j.,
found his engineer, ANTHONY WARD,
asleep in the orgine-rOom and the water
low in the boiler. As Lesson likely to
be remembered, SAMUEL sheared OIL a
moitty OF ANrH0Ny's mustache while he
slept But ANTHONY did not take the
lesson kindly. When he awoke he en-
ployed % lawyer and sued SAMUEL for
damages. For an engineer who sleeps at
his post 10 can make little difference
whether he has half mustache or a
whole one. as he is liable to have no head
TO wear the mus,ache upon.

Fattenlng Snalls

The vineyard snail is held in great es-
TEEN in southern Europe. 1t is by no
means uncommon in England. A one
time it was believed to have been impor.
ted by the Romans; while another theory
held that it was introduced about the
Fifteenth or Sixteenth century. 1t is un.
deniably common in the vicinity of old
Roman camps. But it is frequent also
on chalk and other dry soils, and the O.
pinion now generally entertained is that
the Helix pomatia is native British spe.
cies. The rulers of the world were ney.
ertheless it's especial patrons. Not con-
tent with eating it stewed in every form,
they fattened it in cochlearia, Or styes,
meal boiled in wine being regarded as
the food best fitted for producing large
and juicy specimens. How successful
they were may be inferred from the fact,
if fact it be, that some of the shells of
these domesticated snails would hold ii
pint of wine.

A JUICES OOURTsHIP.

The shortest courtship ever heard of
was that of all eminent jurlst. He was on
his way to hold court in town, when he
met a young woman returning from
market.
'How deep is the creek and what did
you get for your butter?" asked the
Judge.
"Up to knee and ninepence, was the
answer, as the girl walked on. The Judge
pondered over the sensible brevity of the
reply, turned his horse, rode back and
overlook her
Il liked your answer just now" he
said, land like you. think you would
make good wife. Will you marry me?"
She looked him over and said: YES. ~
Then get up behind me aud we will
ride to town and be married"
She did get up behind and they rode
20 the Court House and were made one.
1t is recorded that the marriage was a
pre-emlnently happy one.

DANGER IN OELLULOID.

Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, aud scores of other articles of con
venience, utility and even elegance, man
ufactured from ceIlnloid, are in daily use
by large numbers of the people. The
question is asked, "May they be safely
.Ised?" Celluloid is made from gun cot
on, the powerful and violent explosive
compound. Gun cotton is made by 81 :
urating absorbent paper with mixture
4 two parts of nitric acid and five parts
If sulphnric acid. The cellulnsr of tt.
paper, derived from the cellular tissue of
he cotton in common use, is changed by
he combination and becomes gun cotton
20 make cellul"id the excess of acid is
WISHED out ) y the free use of water, and
by pressure carefully applied. After tn
removal of all uncombined acid it is re-
duced to homogeneous pulpy mass,
strained until it becomes nearly dry, and
is then mixed with about third of it's
weight of gum camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
ly as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden Instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles which
are offered for sale and use. Although
gun cotton is easily manufactured, its
manufacture for experiment Or for gen
sral use is not recommended; and, al
though celluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care, bonfire of such
articles for amusement is not recommend,
ed. No injuries from such use have been
reported. \ word to the wise, however,

What am j to do

The symptoms of Biliousness are un
happily but too we'll known. They differ in
different individuals 70 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear In
spection at any time; if it is not white and
Alrred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation may be
symptom or the two may alternate There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or f1atulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect a cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but trifle and thousands
attest Its efficacy. e

The champion absent minded man lives
in kingston, N Z. The other evening
he was DESTROYS to see a man on business
who resides not far from his own home.
He started out on his errand and walked
around several blocks immersed in pro
found thought. BY the merest accident
in his wanderings he came to his own
residence. He paused in front of his own
house and rang the door bell. He bad
evidently still retained the original pur-
pose in starting out, for when his son
answered the ring he calmly inquired of
the lad whether his father was at home.

 LONDON, Aug. 12.-Reports of the un- healthy condition of the prisons in which Irish political prisoners arc con- fined are causing considerable excite ment, and the Government comes in for it's share of the blame.
 Many of tho more excitable critics of Mir. Ralfour do not hesitate to charge that tho worst pest holes among the Irish prisons arc purposely selected for tho incarceration of those convicted of violations of the Crimes Act.
 Tho condition of the prison at Falcar- ragh particularly, is referred to as dis grace to civilization. and it Is pointed out that, although the attention of the auth critics has been called to it re- peatedly within the past year, nothing has ever been done to remove tho dan ger of an epidemic, to which it's filthy condition has been standing invita- tion.
 On Thursday last John McGee was released from this pest hole, in pitt able condition, and when he reached his home it was only to die the next day of typhus fever. He had entered the prison a picture of health and strength. He came out physical wreck. Another prisoner, a man named Friczc, who was only released few days ago, is also dead from typhoid fever contracted while in confinement.

 BOSTON, Aug. 12.-Amasa Clarke, of the firm of Brown, 'Steese & Clarke, to- day said that he had no doubt that the missing member of the firm, Gideon P. Brown, was either in Canada or Mexico, or some other place outside of the United States.
 He was entirely confident that MT. Hale was not mistaken in the man he saw in Albany Wednesday morning, be- cause MT. Hale had known Mir. Brown for years.
 ''Mr. Browns eoachman," said MT. Clarke, lied us to believe that he had taken Mr. Brown to tho Providence sta. tion to take the Il o'clock train Tuesday night. On that assurance I sent de- tective to Westerly, R. l., where his family was, but I found that I was entirely on the wrong track. Since then the coachman has admitted that he drew MT. Brown to the Albany station and that he took the 11:3O train. l can't tell whether MT. Brown had any money to speak of with him. l have been in business with him for fifteen years and, while knew he was very careless, never had supposed him dis honest. He had entire charge of the finances, and in the last week he had borrowed an immense amount of money on the firms credit. What he has done with it I don't know. He may have spent 1t in the interest of the hrm.'
 It has been authoritively stated that no statement can be made of the affairs of the firm until an expert has been through the books and strengthened affairs somewhat.

The reasons given by His Majesty for his action are that MT. Severance was dismissed from office as theHawaiian Consul in San Francisco for cause. His Majesty feels that Severance's appoint ment marks lack of courtesy on the part of United States officials.
