4 Unique Opportunity for Burglars.

To a burglar with ambition and nerve
Vienna just now presents a unique op-
portunity. A loan exhibition Of speci.
mems of the goldsmith's art is being held
in the palace of Prince schwarzeaberg,
and people who have seen the superb col
lection cannot find adjectives expressive
enough to convey an adequate idea OF
the show. Five large rooms are piled up
with such things as emerald and diamond
diadems, necklaces, coronets, tables OF
solid silver, big chairs set in silver, huge
mirrors framed in silver, toilet services
of solid gold, and golden tankards and
cups by the hundred. There is neck
lace belonging to the Princess Metterpich
in which are the biggest emeralds in the
world, and the Princess Ruess shows a
necklace made up of the largest opals
known, some of them as big as peaches.
The Duke of Nassau exhibits small case
for the contents of which he has just re-
fused q quarter of million of dollars.
The case contains two golden tankards
surmounted with Roman heads in relief,
and having miniature portraits of the
German Emperors encircled by big dia.
monds inside the lids Of both tankards.
Among other trifes may be seen the great
Napoleon's travelling dressing case and
some queer-looking instruments with
which he used to pick and clean his i'm
perial teeth. All these things and many
more will be on view until the exhibition
is over and the chiefs of the Vienna
police will know no peace. Every pre-
caution will be taken, but the tempta.
ton to the worlds burglarious talent is
prodigious. Scotland YaId has oblig-
ingly forwarded to Vienna the portraits
of all clever and daring burglars known
to them, and Americans will be interested
to learn that Billy Porter figures in the
list. Chicago Herald.

Wages in 1900.

History tells the wages received in
1900. On the Pennsylvania canals the
diggers ate the coarsest diet, were housed
in the rudcst sheds and paid Sc month
from November to May. Hod carriers
and mortar mixers, diggers and choppers,
who, from 1898 to 1870, labored on the
public buildings and cut the streets and
avenues of Washington City, received $40
a year, or, if they wished, $50 for all the
work they could perform from March 1st
to December Goth. The hours of work
were invariably from sunrise to sunset.
Wages at Albany and New York were
three shillings, or, as money then went,
forty cents day; at Lancaster, SS to $40
a month; elsewhere in Pennsylvania,
workmen were content with Sc in sum-
mer and S5 in winter. At Baltimore men
were glad to be hired at eighteen pence
4 day. None by the month asked more
than Sc. At Fredericksburg the price of
labor was from S. to 81. In Virginia
white men employed by the year were
given about eighty dollars currency; slaves
when hired were clothed and their mas
ters paid S. q month. A pound Virginia
money was in Federal money 1888. The
average rate of wages the land over was,
Heretofore, S65 a year, with food and
perhaps lodging. Times Democrat.

puted by many admirers of the breed who

of dogs known that can compare with the

those dogs understand language. I've
seen them, without any training whatever

Air as Fuel.

The marvels of scientific discovery and
mechanical invention crowd upon latter
day nineteenth century folk in manner
rivaling the play of Kaleidoscope
figures. One accepts, nowadays, what
he sees, as his fathers did of old, but, ,un-
like them, he is not prepared to dispute
the possibility of anything within the
range of conception. One of the most
wonderful applications of human reason
in employing an essential element of the
universe for human purposes is that de-
scribed in Byadstreet's, by MIR. Lorin
Blodgett, well-known member of the
Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia
This is nothing else than the proposed
use of atmospheric air as fuel. Air mixed
with coal gas, as everyone knows, and
with hydro-carbon vapors, and the COM.
pound when burned generates much
greater heat than if the air were absent.
So, too, a powerful air blast is great
economizer in smelling and reducing ores.i
But the new fuel is the air itself, which
in powerful blast is directed upon an
incandescent substance, say coal made
white hot, pure carbon or any other
materials that can be made to glow. Coal;
hydrocarbons or whatnot may be en-
ployed to give the initial incandescence,
but once the blast strikes the luminous
body the utmost intensity of heat is
secured, apparently by the combustion OF
the air, and may be maintained for an
indefinite period by merely preserving
the incandescence of the'surface. And
this may be done by slight manipula-
tion of the surface brought to incan-
descence, and with some slight renewal
of carbonaceous material. l.-Man'yaeturers'

COOPERATIVE MAIDS.

The New York plan, becoming COM
mon among society woman, of having
cooperative maids, is one not only de-
serving of commendation, but worthy of
introduction and adoption here. 1t
means simply this: That all ladies who
find it too expensive to employ domestic
devoted to their exclusive personal SER
vice shall unite in groups of six in
securing the time of competent efficient
attendant. This woman, who must be
thoroughly trained in every detail of
toilet necessities, gives one day in each
week to her patrons in turn. For in
stance: Every Monday she goes bright
and early to Mrs. A, and begins her du-
ties by overlooking the ladys entire
wardrobe. Gowns are brushed, loops re-
tackled, fresh ruching basted in the neck
and sleeves of those needing that atten-
ton, every particle of dust and stain re-
moved and the costumes replaced where
they may be found at an instant's notice.
Glove boxes, stocking drawers and shoe
bags are carefully reviewed in like man
ner, armoirs and bureau receptacles sys-
tematically rearanged, and then comes
the thorough cleansing of brushes, combs,
etc., followed by the clipping of my
lady's locks, shampooing her head and
dressing her hair for the day. Nails are
manicurcd and fine grooming given the
mistress, by which time the busy society
devotee feels as if she had been made
over anew. With a moderately careful
woman this righting up once a week
keeps her in pretty fair condition till
Monday comes around again. All this
wonderful c~mfort and convenience can
be obtained for a couple of dollars a
week. With six customers the maid has
done thriving business, and every one
concerned is made happy by the co-opera-
tive arrangement.-Nea0 Orleans Times

Riding q Bicycle Under Water.

The Boston Globe is responsible for the
following story: The recent sinking Of
of the little steamer Carlotta in the Merj
rimac River, just below Mitchell's Falls,fi
was marked by wonderful feat of q BIZ
cyclist. James Webb and several other
wheelmen were on the deck Of the
steamer. Webb was mounted on his BIZ
cycle doing the ststand-still" act. The
Carlotta, under full head of steam, made
a rush to ascend the rapids, but before
reaching them little rope broke and the
boat was thrown out of her course. Co
ing at high rate of speed, she struck on
the smooth ledge which rises out Of the
water at the foot of the falls with sucha
force that the boat was carried half her
length on the slippery surface. The pro.
peller then broke on the rock and the Car
lotta sank like bar of lead. Webb's
friends all managed to swim ashore with
no more damage than thorough wetting:
But Webb and his bicycle were thrown.
over the side of the vessel and sank inn
mediately. Webb is thoroughly at home
in the water, and when he went over;
board he did not think of letting go of his
bicycle. 1t was too valuable to lose.
The wheel must have slid down between
two stones, for when the machine struck
the bottom it remained upright. In;
stinctively Webb's feet sought the pedals,
and putting forth all his muscle, he ac-i
tually propelled the bicycle over the
hard, sandy bottom, and up the ledge for
distance of sixty feet. It can be easily
imagined what a cheer greeted the ap-1
pearance of his head above the water.
There have been some people sceptical
enough to doubt this performance, but
when shown through a water-glass the
wheels track in the sand they have been
promptly convinced. Webb has become
enthusiastic over submarine cycling, and
says that as soon as he can devise some
way of keeping up the supply of air he
will try for one-mile bicycle record un-
der water. y;

Tortured to Death by Indians.

News of an Indian outrage has been
received from the ranch of Head q
Hearst, situated in Aminas Valley, Cochls
County, Arizona, six miles from the
Mexican line. B. F. Cady, while alone
in charge of the ranch, was surprised by
Indians and shot through both legs above
the knees. He was then stripped Of his
clothing and scalded with boiling water,
and afterward held on a stove and
roasted. The Indians finally pounded
his head into a jelly and otherwise horri-
bly, mutilated him.. The body was thrown
into the yard, where it was found by the
Mexican custom house guards. From the
number of moccasin tracks the guard es-
timated that the party numbered between
thirty and forty. After killing Cady they
separated, about one-half Of them remain
ing in the mountains near by. The bal
ance taking all the horse-stock on the
ranch with them, passed up through
Guadalupe Canon Chicago Herald.

Danger in Postage Stamps and Money.

The Sanitary Neus calls attention to
the fact that postage stamp may In
various ways convey contagion. One OF
the simplest and most plausible is that In
which postage stamp, partially attached
to letter to pay return postage, is sent
by person infected by some disease to
another person. The disease is trans
ferred, in the first place, to the adhesive
stamp through the saliva, and in being
attached to the letter by the receiver the
poison may be transmitted to him in turn
through the saliva. Another cause may
be the infection of the stamp with disease
germs. The stamp, having been exposed
in a room where a diseased person lies,
may become slightly moistened, and thus
retain the germ. That this is true can
be proved very simply by microscopical
examination. We often see person
holding change for moment in the
mouth, probably not knowing that in
vestigation has shown that disease germs
can be carried by money. If one could
see through what hands the money has
passed he would hesitate before using
such q third hand. Silver money is as
bad as paper money; but, while many
would hesitate to hold dirty banknote
in their mouth, they think that silver
,iece, because bright, is apparently clean.

Beet Root Supplies Half Our Sugar.

The rather startling statement is made
in Popular Science Monthly, by A. H.
Almy, that more than one-half the worlds
supply of sugar is derived from the beet
root. The attempt to establish that in
dustry in this country has been looked
upon with skepticism as to its possibilities
and its value if successful. The statistics
by which Mr.. Almy proves Its remarka-
ble assertion put beyond question the in
portance of the cultivation of beet root
for sugar in this country. In 1855 the
beet sugar product of France, Germany,
Belgium, Austria-Hungary, Holland and
Russia was 2,546, 900 tons. The cane
sugar product of the entire world for the
same year was only 2, ,260, 900 tons. The
ratio has since, it is believed, been en-
largcd in favor of beet sugar. Claus
Spreckles has been foremost in this coun-
try in advocating the production of the
beet root, which he declares can be cult
waited with profit, and will render this
country independent of all others for its
sugar supply. There are various portions
of the country where the conditions of soil
and climate are favorable to the industry,
into which it is well known he is going on
an extensive scale.-Msu York Graphic

How Prairie Fires are Spread.

The means by which the Western
prairie fires are spread to farm-houses,
barns, wheat stacks and hay ricks seem
truly mysterious. To some it seems Won
derful how fire in the Louisiana marshes
covered as they are with denser and
ranker growth of herbage than the West
ern prairies) manages to cross compara-
lively wide bayou and keep on its fierce
path. We can account for the extension
of the marsh fires in this way, well known
to many of our hunters: In the tops oi
the reeds and rank grasses blackbirds and
orioles weave their dense and round nests
almost as closely as the woven meshes of
crane cloth. The blackbirds' nests are as
large as the crown of an ordinary hat.
The old nests are dry as tinder in win
ter, during the season of prairie fires. In
our great marsh fires these blazing nests
are blown high in the air by the blast of
the furious upward draught caused by the
flames, and arc swept by the wind some
times as far as a hundred yards ahead of
the main fire, where they fall as fire balls
in the dry herbage, starting fresh con-
fagratfons. Thus in high winds the fires
in the marshes travel with inconceivable
rapidity land seem to leap over apparently
insurmountable obstacles. 1t is possible
that, in the same manner, abandoned
birds nests in the prairie fires are driven,
unseen in the dense smoke, in places ap-
parently inaccessible to the flames, where
plowed circles and turning of surrounding
infammable material seemed absolute
preventions against destruction.-Tames-

TT WAS THERE TO STAY.

As Third avenue car was passing
Fourteenth street on down trip the other
morning a shabbily dressed man leaned
across the space between the seats, and,
addressing tall, sour-featured woman,
he said:
"SIa'am, you've dropped quarter. It's
lyin' in your lap"
The woman's face hardened as she
looked at the top of the car and at the
floor, but not at her lap or at the man
who had spoken to her. He thought she
had not heard him, so he pointed at the
coin and said:
"There's a quarter in your lap, ma'am.
You'll lose it if you don't take it up"
"Drat you, you foolE' exclaimed the
woman, sharply, "don't you see it's a
button2"
So it was. Her dress was fastened with
twenty-five cent silver pieces. Her shawl
covered all but the lowest one, which had
attracted the mans attention. .-NeW York
