why a Lobster Is Red.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent. of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster the iron is oxidized. This
effect is largely due also to the percent
age of muriatic acid which exists natur-
ally in the shell. The chemical change
which takes place here is almost similar
to that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling lobster its coat ceases
to be living substance, and to certain
extent it takes new character. It is as
brick would be after burning. This
effect can also be produced by the sun,
but necessarily not SO rapidly, as the
heat of that luminary, although more
intense, is not concentrated sufficiently
to produce the result. The sun also ex-
ercises bleaching influence, which con-
sumes the oxide almost as fast as it is
formed, leaving the shell white or nearly
pure lime.-Washington Republic.

The Invalid and the Violinist.

An old and infirm soldier was playing
his violin one evening on the Prater, in
Vienna. His faithful dog was holding
his hat in which passers by dropped a
few coppers as they came along. How
ever, on the evening in question, nobody
stopped to put small coin into the poor
old fellows hat. Everyone went straight
on, and the gaiety of the crowd added to
the sorrow in the old soldiers heart, and
showed itself in his withered coun-
tenance.
However, all at once, well-dressed
gentleman came up to where he stood,
listened to his playing for few minutes,
and gazed compassionately upon him.
Ere long, the old fddler's weary hand
had no longer strength to grasp his bow.
His limbs refused to CARRY him further.
He seated himself on stone, rested his
head on his hands, and began silently to
weep. At that instant the gentleman
approached, offered the old man piece
of gold, and said: "Lend me your violin
a little while"
Then having carefully tuned it, he
said: "You take the money, and I'll
play"
He did playl All the passers-by
stopped to listen-struck with the dis
tinguished air Of the musician, and
captivated by his marvellous genius.

A ProvencaI Wolf Story.

An old wolf who had become deaf and
blind from weight Of years, having &C.
casion to make journey through for
est, caused one of his young ones to go
before him, taking the young one's.tail
in his mouth to guide him.
In this way the old wolf made very
good progress through the woods; but a
passing hunter, seeing the strange pro-
cession, fired at the young wolf.
The shot missed his body, but cut off
the young VOLTS tail, and the animal,
greatly frightened. ran off as fast as his
legs could carry him.
The old wolf, who, of course, had
neither heard nor seen anything of the
affair, stood wondering what the young
one was waiting for. Whereupon the
hunter came up, and taking the young
VOLTS detached tail in his hand, started
home with it.
The old wolf trotted along contentedly
after him, and the villagers, seeing the
hunter enter the village with the beast in
tow, were greatly astonished.
The wolf was placed in captivity. and
died soon after. And the villagers have
ever since repeated to strangers the story
of this wonderful adventure-which the
strangers are at liberty to believe or not,
as they please.-Youths Companion.

Puns and Punsters.

Both Hood and Hook-perhaps we
might add Person also-were punsters
by profession. But there are puns ex-
tant by unknown authors which either
might have felt pride in owning. A
Cambridge fellow, walking with visi-
tor, met by chance the master of st.
Johns on horseback. "Who is thatT'
inquired the visitor. THAT" replied the
other, sis st. Johns head ON a charger"
We are given instances of puns which
have only one defect, they are too witty
to be used. Thus "the heir of the duke
of Penthievre died in 1894, ruined by an
attachment to an opera singer, Mile.
Mire." The wits of Paris made his
epitaph of five notes of music--"Mi re
Pami la"-'Mire has brought him there. ="

Steam cranes are dangerous in wood
yards and other places where combusti-
BILE materials are stored, hence the recent
adoption of an electric crane at a well
known timber yard in Limehouse. The
power to make the crane travel on its
rails, hoist the load and slew it round is
derived from n dynamo, also used to light
a wood factory. The current is conveyed
by copper tubes laid along the tramway
on which the crane travels, and it is con-
Quoted by contracts to the electric motor
attached to the axles of the crane by
suitable gearing of the Raworth type.
The motor takes current of 90 amperes
to hoist the maximum load of 10 or IS
tons; it slews with 30 amperes, and
travels with 90 to 35, according to the
speed. All these operations can go on
simultaneously, if need be. The total
weight of the crane is about four tons.
1t performs its work well, and has given
every satisfaction. The starting, stop
ping and working is performed by the
man in charge with turning handles, and
a mirror is provided to show him what is
going on in the barge below from which
the timber is hoisted. -Cassell's Magazine.

up the steps, / ran into the veranda

was locked from the rest of the house,
and, knocking loudly, called out "Mr.
s., there is a panther in my tent"
You can imagine the commotion; every

tlemen all seized their guns, and ran out
to see if there was any chance of a shot
and was made great fuss Of; every
one said what wonderful escape had

They saw no more of the panther, but
the next morning we heard that he made
for the house of another friend some dis
lance off, and there he attempted to carry
off big English bulldog, which he found
asleep in the inner veranda. Fortunately
the cries of the dog brought the servants
to the rescue, but not before its throat
and face had been frightfully mauled.
My friends are all of the opinion thai the
mosquito curtains saved my life. The
beast was evidently very hungry, and
was at one moment preparing to spring
upon us, but he was puzzled at my sur
roundings and probably took them for
some kind of trap. But never for a
moment lost my presence of mind; this
and the watchfulness of my little dog

and even gold was dropped into the
poor mans hat. The dog began to growl
for it was becoming too heavy for him to
hold. AT an invitation from the audience,
the invalid emptied its contents into his
sack, and they filled it again.
After a national melody, in which
everyone present joined, with uncovered
heads, the violinist placed the instrument
upon the poor mans knees, and, without
waiting to be thanked, disappeared.
"Who is it? was asked on all sides.
sit is Armand Boucher, the famous
violin player" replied some one in the
crowd. ''He has been turning his art to
account in the service Of charity. Let us
follow his example"
And the speaker sent round his hat
also, made new collection, and gave the
proceeds to the invalid, crying, "Long
live Boucher |"
Deeply affected, the invalid lifted up
his hands and eyes toward Heaven, and
invoked Gods blessing on his benefactor.
That evening there were two happy
men in Vienna-the invalid, placed for a
long time above the reach of want, and
the generous artist, who felt in his heart
the joy which always repays the bestowal
of charity.

the next annual meeting of the Iowa
society. The provisional committee
appointed by the non-partisan women
will begin aggressive work at once.
They will make no war upon the old
society, and wish it success in its many
lines of Christian work. There are,
however, large numbers of women who
wish to do legitimate temperance work
and will not consent to mortgage of
their political influence. Hundreds of
ministers, who cannot give their support
to partisan organization, have urged
us to the step we have taken" added
Ms. Foster. "For myself, I expect
cur action will greatly modify the par
tisan course of the national union. The
lines of partisanship and non-partisan-
ship being definitely drawn will force
many women to think critically and
come to logical conclusions"

A Minnesota Murder.

WoRTnINGroN, MINI, Nov. 14.--A
man named Charles Merkle was brought
here to the Jail yesterday from Larkin
township, this county, charged with the
murder of his brother-in-law, George
Schleiter. Merkle lives with his pa.
rents north of Schleiter. The story is
that both men have fine teams and they
were each praising up their own team,
which led to quarrel and fight be.
tween them, resulting in Schleiter
striking Merkle, who then obtained o
pick handle and. according to his own
story, struck Schleiter over the head,
killing him instantly. He struck twice
after he fell and then buried tho body
behind the horses in the stable. Mrs.
Schleiter did not know of the matter
till, on calling her husband to supper
and receiving no answer, she went to
the barn and found blood stains. She
then went to her brothers place. when
some other members of the family went
to look and searched out the body. The
accused was taken by them before q JUS
tice, who sent him to Adrian, from
whence he was sent here. 1t is under
stood that Merkle admits the killing
and has told the whole story.
