 "'it has been out for many years,' said the customer, and have read many favorable notices of it.
 "I referred the matter to cur Aeal man and he said he didn't knoS ot Guy such book.
 Well, you are fine house," said the customer, evidently disguised.
 "About an hour after he had gone one of our salesmen was heard to laugh.
 It was a laugh that rattled the glass in the building. He had got out in the middle of the floor and held his sides. When he had subsided and there had been halfdozen inquiries as to the cause of his hilarity he said:
 That fellow meant Ben IIur."
 Then we all laughed."- Cbica 70 Times.

A vein of mineral soap was discov cred last week in the bluffs north of the Italian ranch, about 15 miles east of the Comstock. An analysis dis closed the presence of q large percen- tage of arsenic in the composition. The vein is IS inches in width. The color of the deposit is q light gray and contains but little grit. In its natural state it produces lather equal to that of the finest soap used by barbers.

Three hundred miles all hour is the proposed speed for the electric pos tai railroad of the future. An cxper- mental line has been erected at Lau- rel, 20 miles from Baltimore, Md. A compromise between the pneumatic tube and the ordinary railroad carries q miniature train of two cars, solely for mails and light parcels without any attendance. The road has three ralls-one above the car. for carving the current, and two below, which car ry the cars. The cars are built of sheet iron, and are two feet square and 21 feet long. Speed will be reg ulated, and power or brakes applied by electricity solely. If the cxperi- ment at Laurel succeeds, it is stated that similar roads will be laid be- tween Balsimore and Washington and elsewhere.
