Umbrellas.

They were telling marvellous UNI
brelIa stories one rainy day lately, says
the Albany Journal, in which each
figured as having once owned very
handsome gOld-headed silk umbrella
which had been stolen after having
been used only very short time. One
man of the company, noted for truth

a time he was the owner of a silk UNI
brella which he carried for many years,
but in time there was nothing valuable
left to 1t but the handle. lone night"
said he, 81 thought L had conceived a
plan by which / could obtain q new
umbrella IN exchange for my ole one,
and We. retain a perfectly clea- con-
science. Accordingly sailed forth In
the rain to attend a banquet where silk
umbrellas predominated, first polishing
up my own in order that 1t would COM
pare fayorably with the best In appear
ance. Arriving at the meeting thrust
nv umbrella into holder with dozen
others-sll better ones-and left 1t tc
its fate. / fingered until the last guest
had departed after the feast, fully ex-
pecting that some one would certainly
take my umbrella and recklessly run
almost certain chances OF getting a
better one. / confidently stepped up

Laugh on n Lawyer.

AS funny thing as ever occurred in
a court happened at Napoleon, o., in
1889. before Judge Potter and a jury.
a case was on trial and an outsider
seated himself on one of the puncheons
at the far end of the panel OF jurors.
there being no other available seat.
When the defendants counsel arose to
address the jury he scanned the face
OF each very closely, and naturally his
gaze was directed to the furtkest man
from him, who didn't happen 10 be a
juror at all. Glaring at him he began:
''Gentlemen of the jury: 1 want to
know what this man (referring to the
plaintiff in the easel has come into
court for? What Is his business?
W hat right has he here? What is he
seeking foT? Again / repeat, gentle
men of the jury, why Is he here"
The countryman imagined that the
question had direct reference to him
sell. and when the lawyer paused to
give due weight and emphasis to the
question, he jumped to his feet and
howled:
what am here for, you cross-eyed
cock of the walkr What am 1 seek
ing for in this here courtp I'll tell you
in short order, you weazen faced old
son of a gun I've been here three
days awaitln' fer my fees, and nary

sir, aud I'll git out OF here immedi-
ately."
This unexpected Grafton brought
down the house. and the lawyer never
finished bis able argument.

Method of Drying Buildings.

a new invention is reported for dry
ing buildings. A Russian engineer,
NJ. De WroZinsky, has invented an ap-
paratus for drying buildings, which IS
said to have proved very effective. 1t
is based on the principle Of carbonic
gas rapidly absorbing the moisture OF
the air, and to this end the inventor
has constructed closed stove burning
charcoal by the introduction OF air in
to 1t direct from the open through two
tubes. A steady current or dry, warm
carbouic gas Is allowed to escape into
the room TO be dried, which rapidly
absorbs the moisture in the air. and es-
capes in the ordinary manner through
the chimney.
