"Have you seen the latest novelty in
Watches?" asked Broadway jeweler of a
reporter.
The reporter hadn't, and said so.
"WeIl, " resumed the jsweler, ''pll show
It to You 1t is worn on the little finger of
the left hand. You don't believe it, Look
here"
He reached into the showcase and
brought forth a seal ring.
"NOw," said he, "that looks like the
ordinary seal ring. 1t isn't, though"
A spring just beneath the setting was
touched and the stone flew open like the
cover of a watch and revealed a miniature
dial with tiny gold hands. The reporter
raised it to his ear. The little timepiece
was ticking away with the regularity Of
Its bigger brethren. From the top of the
stone setting projected a very small bev-
eled stem for winding.
GLOW long will it last?' asked the re.
porter.
1T is a miracle of invention said the
jeweler. "The works are reduced to the
smallest possible compass, and they'll last
rs long as those in the ordinary watch.
They are worth $40, but they are hardly

EUFAULA, Ala, Nov. While Mr.. c. B.
lewis M. Quad, of The Detroit Free Press,
who has been on n visit for a week TO this
rity, was sitting in front of the st. Julien
hotel in conversation with a local newspaper
man, they were approached by a stranger
from the country, who asked:
(Which is NJ. Quad!n
"This is" Mr.. Lewis answered pointing
with a smile to the local newspaper man.
"All right" said the stranger, addressing
the Eufaulan, Il heerd you wuz in town, and
I've walked fourteen miles ter day jist ter get
Pr chance to lick yer"
1t appears that the coUntryman had once
written n communication to NJ Quad, the
plans and specifications of which the humor-
list criticised or made fun of, and so won the
countryman's lasting enmity. After the af-
fair the two scTibes rescued their tall hats
from the sand, and arm in arm they went up
the street, while the counTyman was re
covered and detained lCng enough TO be fined

The methods of the American ambu-

they have been in use for over year
The record of the Northern hospital gives
the average time from the call to the de-

and fourteen seconds by day and four
minutes by night The time of each
Journey from call to return was eighteen

neceivInr the DOGS.

When compelled to travel all night the
Siberian natives always make a practice
of stopping just before sunrise and allow
Ing their dogs TO get to sleep. They
argue that if a dog goes TO sleep while it
Is yet dark and wakes up in an hour and
finds the sun shining he will suppose that
he has had full nights rest and viii
travel all day without thinking of being
tired. One hours stop, however, at any
other time will be of no use whatever

Elihu Washburne, sr. and Jr.

Elihu B. Washburne. Jr., who was called
home by the death Of his distinguished father
from the college he had been attending at
Kingston, n. Y, told this anecdOte of him to
q friend at the Coleman house, New York:
The ex-ninister was entArely lacking in ap-
probation of American humOr. From the
time he was rocked in the old oak cradle at
LivermOre he saw the steruer side of life and
failed-with the most favorable surroundings
10 appreciate Yankee fun. Last summer
Elihu, Jr, spent some weeks with his father
at the old homestead in Maine. During the
collegiate year the young man had not failed
TO draw on his father for funds As the old
gentleman was sitting and reading and medi-
tating perhaps on the proueneSs Of youth TO
make money fly upward like the sparks,

fine baritone:

STORIES OF MEN.
Dr. Hryant's Joke Upon a Teller Of Old
Stories.


Stories.
Dr. Bryant, who accompanied President
Cleveland ON his recent tour through the
west and south, is a serious man, who never
Jokes and never uses slang. One day the
doctor was walking through the woods on
the Belle-Meade farm, near Nashville, with
Gen. "Billn jackson, who is known far and
wide as a very successful racounteur. The
general was in particularly high spirits that
day, and stories ran out Of him like sap out
OF a sugar maple.
At the end Of one especially good story the
doctor, who did not seem to be much priclled
by the point Of it, continued 70 look up at the
trees, which he had been some time ezaIniE-
ing, and said:
General, you raise a good many chestnuts
here don't you"
All the rest Of the day the doctor won
der"d why Gen. jackson told no more stories.

Dubuque ia. telegram: The body
OF John Meyers, a passenger train en-
gineer on the Wabash, who died We'd
nesday, was buried in this city to-day.
Meyers was stricken with paralysis
while on his engine, just before reach
ing the end OF his run at Sparta, Mo.
He knew that his time had come, and
told his fireman that lie had only few
hours to live. Summoning all his
strength, he pulled open the the throt-
tie OF his engine and made the great ma
chine fairly bound in order 10 reach the
station Of Sparta before he became per-
fectly helpless. As the train dashed
along the rigOr became more intense,
and when he ran into the station he was
almost completely paralyzed. His left
arm alone was capable of action, and
with that lie shut off steam and turned
on the brakes, for the last time stopping
his train at the station. He was carried
from the cab, and before his wife and
children could reach his bedside he was
speechless and died in few minutes
He was practically dead before he left
the engine.

What we Know 81 color.

All that we know of color, its causes
and effects, is in connection with the
wave theory OF light. Color depends
upon the number Of light waves reflected
from any object impinging upon the re-
tina OF the eve. IN red there are 40, 600
waves 10 the inch, and these will strike
the eye at the rate OF 447 millions OF mil
lions Of pulsations per second. In yio-
let's there are 81, 900 waves TO the inch,
and $40 millions Of millions Of pulsations
per second. The other coloTs have wave
lights intermediate between these two.
Color does not, therefore, exist either in
the object nor in the brain nor in the
mind Of the observer. Ii is an effect.
+ There can be no appearance OF fire on
a desolate island where there is no eye
within seeing distance The chemical
process called combustion goes on, but
there is no appearance of the fame save
when its waves strike upon the retinR OF
an eye.
