Wasted Sympathy.

Yney were going through machine shop,
Enormous wheels were flying around, enor-
nous blocks were rising and falling, sharp
steel instruments were shaving sheets Of
metal and there was a clang and roar Of
mighty power. And by one Of the big ham
mers doing some work sat u very small boy,
begrimed and oily. His arm and hand were
fixedup in sling and he was striving pain
fully to get ON with his work with the other.
They were struck sympathetic. 81 declare"
said the kindly old lady, II declare it is a
shame to see a young boy like this working
in such dangerous place. 1t is disgrace
Just see; he has been hit with that heavy
hammer, and | have no doubt his arm is
broken, and perhaps he'll never be able to use
it again. It's awful" And the small boy
kept pegglng away She approached him,
and, putting her hand on his head, she said
very sympathetically: Poor child This is
dangerous work for you" The poor child
looked up at her and said nothing. You
have met with an accident, | see" Yes"
is it broken" only crushed a bit"
Poor child! Why are you not at honei
How did it happen' suppose one of those
big hammers came down and crushed it."
"Na-a-er. Hurt it playing baseball last Sun
day." The old lady only said: well, if ]
ever!'-San Francisco Chronicle.

Painting as a Fine Art.

How does a woman faint?" asked q law
yer after adjournment of court yesterday
I'VE had young woman on the stand who
declared she had seen hundred women
faint, and that they all tainted with out
stretched arms. Now, how does a woman
faints l declare l don't know. | have seen
the interesting phenomenon few times, but
the trouble is there's 50 much excitement
that man forgets to take observations
think it would be an interesting question for
the court to sift to the bottom. We would
probably be deluged with contradictory tes-
timony. In the first place, does a woman
faint with outstretched arms? Are out
stretched arms a sure sign of a faintl | be-
lleve it must depend great deal upon what
she faints for. Why does woman faint, and
what does she do when she faints9
''On the stage we have seen, for instance,
Cecilia faint with Modus, but as | have seen
it represented she held his hands tight in hers
and then on his shoulders and then half way
around his neck. have seen the Mountain
Maid faint. She begins deliberately to say,
4 am fainting,' then she repeats, 4 must
faint and finally declares she will just be
real down sick if she doesn't faint Are these
true reflections of feminine fainting off the
stagel
II am afraid the resources of testimony
will be exhausted before giving US any rules
for a genuine faint. There is such an infinite
variety of phases that codifcation of laws OF
fainting is impossible / confess don't know
when a faint is a natural phenomenon and
when it is a fine art. "-Pailadelphia

Who ever started the fashion of making
tie heavy villain dark browed mans or did
the world used to be differenti Whenever
ne appears in drama or fiction it is with the
same black hair and fiery eyes, and yet
blonde men are quite as apt to be villains as
are brunettes. The collective evidence of a
number of clever women, who had opportu-
nifty to know many men, tends to prove that
it is the blonde man against whom one should
most carefully guard. He is variable in dis
position His seeming good nature is of that
aggravating quality which blithely ignores
argument and protest, and when he is aroused
is absolutely unreasonable and unreasoning.
He is the gayest of gay deceivers, inconstant,
selfish and vindictive; he is most impas,
stoned lover and dangerous rival, and the
only difference between him and the darn
haired villain is that he is so frankly wicked,
so debonnair, SO incorrigible and prone to
'bob up serenely" after every attempt to
annihilate him that we, perforce, forget his
faults and forgive his treaobr-ie--St. Paul

Removing Tattoo MARKS.

The removal of tattoo marks is matter of
no little difficulty, and many different meth
DDS have been tried clustering suction, Their
mocautery, counter tattOoing with white
powder or milk, etc. Criminals sometimes
pour vitriol on their arms and hands and let
ting it act for a few seconds plunge the iml
in water. The following method is recon-.
mended by NJ. Variot in The Revue Scien,
tifque: 1.-THE skin is first covered with a con-
centrated solution of tannin and retattooeG
with this in the parts to be cleared. Then ar
ordinary nitrate of silver crayon is rubbed
over these parts, which becomes black by
formation of tannate of silver in the super
fetal layer of the dermis. Tannin powder is
sprinkled on the surface several times a day
for some days to dry it. A dark crust forms,
which loses color in three or four days,
and in fortnight or so comes away, leav.
ing a reddish scar, free of tattoo marks,
and in few months little noticeable. 1t is
well to do the work in patches about the
size Of five franc piece at a time. The per-
son can then go on with his usual occupation.

In each respiration an adult inhales one pint
of air.
A man respires sixteen to twenty times a
minute, or 10000 times a day; child twenty
five to thirty-fve times a minute.
While standing the adult respiration is twen-
ty-two; while lying, thirteen.
The superficial surface of the lungs, /. e. of
their aveolar spaces, is 200 square yards.
The amount of air inspired in twenty-four
hours is 10000 liters (about 10000 QuartS.)
The amount of oxygen absorbed in twenty
four hours is 500 liters (744 grammes), and the
amount of carbonic-acid gas expired in the

Two.thirds of the oxygen absorbed in twenty
four hours is absorbed during the night hours

Three-ffths of the total carbonic acid is

Col. A. K Mcclure, editor of the Phila.

president Of the association, briefly ad-
dressed tho audience, among whom weFe
Mayor Harrington, Judge Bail, nearly all
the members of City Council and several
city oificers snd introduced rs chairman
Hon. Charles Is. Lore. In a short, grace
ful address Mr.. Lore Introduced the lec-
tuser.
Ccl. Mcclure captivated his hearers
from the frat by his commanding Ap-
pearance. his easy, graceful delivery,
and the delightfully."- entertaining manner
in which he handled his slbieot. II was
on exhortation to look upon tine sunny
side OF life, in ell its phases-in history,
in government, in politics, in home, In
labor, in religion and, finally, to look
upon the sunay side Of death. With
particular imprsssiysness he dwelt upon
the grandeur md greatness Of the present
generation-greater in it's heroes, in its
statesmen, in its accomplishments, its
nims and its purposes than my epoch of
tho past. The warriors Of antiquity, made
famous by history's record of their deeds
Of ypior, oeuld not compare with the
heroes of the present age, while i'll wars
conflicts, the grandest event from
ThetmopYla TO Gettysburg was Gettys-
burg itself. The statesmen of tbs past
were made great by the hero worship OF a
people who knew them not ss the people
Of 0.day know the faults and the failings
as well as the virtues and abilities Of
their public men. ..-..z
Ths lecture was listened to with close
attention throughout and was warmly ap.
pleuded. When he concluded Mr.. Lore
voiced the sentiment Of the audience IL a
few we'll chosen words of thanks to the
lecturer and happily said that Colonel
Mcclure had BEEN instrumental In prac-
tiosily demonstrating one OF the sunniest
phases Of the present by comparison of
bis splendid modern newspaper with the
small and unimpostant news publications
of century ago.
The lecture was preceded ard followed
by number of vocal selections, which
were ezcellently rendered by male choir
under tha'leadsrship of Joseph Feather

Philadelphia after the lecture.
