sensitive as plate of glass, and has to
be handled with extreme care If pi would
be avoided. Printers pi can be made in
the jerk of a lamb IS tail, but it costs
lots OF money, and people in printing
Offices are not at all fond of it.
Printers pi is not necessarily the pi of
printers. 1t is often what might be called
ehumps' or strangers pi. When a
stranger comes into printing Office he is
quite liable to become Inquisitive and
stroll into the composing room to ask
some one if he thinks if is gong to rain,
and while waiting for an answer he be-
comes tired and leans against one of the
imposing stones on which rests a page of
freshly set matter that. the foreman is
about to tie up and take down to the
Dressroom The stranger brushes his ell
bow over the page of type and 1t is
strangers pi. It is the custom in most
offices for the employees, after dropping
the stranger down the elevator shaft, to
ring for an ambulance, but if they are
very busy they let his friends hunt him up.
Printers pi is vexatious but strangers
pi is dangerous and sometimes fatal. If
a stranger or outside party, who hasn t
any particular business to attend to,
feels an irresistible desire to visit the
composing room or green-room of a
printing office to ask some one the price
Of butter and run his elbow through q
page of select reading matter-it he feels
that kind of desire, we say he had bet
ter try to smother it. Otherwise some
highstrung printer with large, muscular
fingers NAV do it for him.

THE SALT OF THE EARTH.

Salt and water clean willow furniture
Salt in whitewash will make it stick

Brasswork can be kept beautifully

Damp salt will remove the discolora-

When broiling steak throw a little salt

To clean willow furniture use salt and

If, after having a tooth pulled, the
mouth is filed with salt and water it will
allay the danger of having hemorrhage.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought. 1t
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and
the gums hard and rosy.
Carpets may be greatly frightened by
first sweeping thoroughly and then going
over them with clean cloth and clear
salt and water. Use a cupful of course
salt to a large basin of water.
If the feet are tender or painful after
long standing or walking great relief can
be had by bathing them in salt and

FISHING BY ELECTRICITY.
The Fish Touches the Bait, Gets the LOckiaw
and Then You've Got Him.
CbicorO Tiroac

CnlcagO IlIn6S.
1t was about 9 'clock when small
dark complexioned, black-eyed man
wearing spectacles, came down to the
pier. He had with him a jointed fish rod +,
a plain, implanted box about fourteen
inches square, with small iron handle
on top. A small slide like the switch on
the keyboard of a telegraph instrument
projected from the other side OF the mys-
FERROUS box.
Selecting a good place, the little man
planted his box on the edge of the pier.
He then jointed the rod and stuck the
butt end of it into a hole in the front side
of the box, from which it projected at an
angle of thirty degrees. In place of a
line he had thin wire made of annealed
steel. This passed around a reel near
the butt of the rod, and then on into
the box. The business end of the wire
ran through an eye at the other end of
the rod, and he threw it overheard Just
below the reel and above the rod was
hinge, which enabled the fisherman TO
raise the pole without removing it from
the box. 1t was evidently contrivance
for catching fish.
In a short time the fisherman was seen
to give slight start as the pole trembled
key down. A low hummiug sound issued
from the box, the line swished through
the water, ana he began to wind in on
his reel. He was outwardly calm, though
pale, but he kept on winding in the wire
until the fish, a four-inch perch, was
clear Of the water. Then he grasped the
pole above the hinge and raised it until
the prize was safely in hand, when ne
touched the switch, the humming noise
ceased and the fish dropped on the pier
Where IS the hook?'' inquired an
interested fisherman, who had been ex-
aiming the machine.
FThere isn't any replied the in
ventor. "That's the beauty of my ma
chine. No hook, no bait. See this?'
and he held up bright, corrugated
metal slug about two inches long and the
shape of a minnow attached to the end of
the wire.
'Inside of this box,'' he continued,
''is an electric battery, the perfecting
of which occupied three years of patient
study and experiment. The electric
current is guaged to the required
strength and is turned on by means
of the switch. But the exact number
of volts used is secret and on which the
success of the machine depends. This
artificial minnow is dropped into the
water, and the instant fish bites it the
fact is of course communicated to me
through this rod. l turn on the electric
fluid and the fish is a goner. -
''What catches him?'' asked the
curious fisherman.
"That's where the scientific work
comes in. The current is just strong
enough to give the fish temporary at
tack Of lockjaw, and its teeth sink into
the creases in the metal bait, see? No
matter how much its kicks it can't get
get away until the current is shut off -

New York Star.
The New York morgue is always sur
charged with tragedy and it is but rarely
that the dark and heavy atmosphere is
frightened and lightened by the sun
shine of some event that, taken by
itself, is productive of nothing but hap
piuess. Yet these events do occur, and
one has recently come to the notice of
the Star
Miss Laura Wilder was a few weeks
ago noted belle of Easton, Pa. She
was engaged to be married to Frederick
Bowman, q young merchant of that
city. They quarreled and parted in
anger. Miss Wilder came to this city to
visit relatives She was in a desperate
mood, and it is said, was on the point of
taking her life, when she read of the
finding of the body of an unknown young
woman off the battery few days before,
and of the fact that it had not been
identified
A bold idea came into Miss Wilder's
mind. She went to the Morgue and
stated that she was Miss CARTS zone of
her cousins) and that the body was
that of Miss Wilder of Easton. The al
legged Identification was telegraphed over
the country. Bowman read it and i'm
mediately came to New York and visited
the morgue, when he was intensely sur
prised and pleased to find that mistake
had been made. AS he walked down the
street bordering the mystery he heard
his name called softly, and, looking
around, saw his affianced standing with
Outstretched arms.
They were married that day and have
returned to Easton.

THE CHAMPION OF THE SEAS.
Description of the City of Paris as She Flows
Through the Water.
New York SIM.

New York SIM.
The City of New York and the City of
Paris are alike in every detail, and with
equal power in their engines Yet the
Paris runs SIS miles in twenty -four hours
t through a heavy sea and with head
wind Kissing though her rigging, while
the New York works heavily along in the
rear. The last trip over from England
was the most noteworthy that the City
of Paris has made. The record of
515 miles in a day, great as it
is, sinks out of sight when compared TO
the running of the ship in the northwest
gale which she encountered the first
i. three days out. 1t was a gale of no
mean proportions, as is proved by the
delay of all the other steamers that were
beaten back by 1t, while the City of
Paris rushed through the heavy seas in
fashion that recalled the antics of the
racing machine Stiletto down the bay on
one of the big cup days. The City of
Paris cut her way through the water
with vehemence that was almost hui
man. The distance from the wa
ter to the top of her smoke
stack is, roughly speaking, about
the same as the height of five-story
house, but she threw the spray far above
the stacks as she plunged along. It
whiZZed up in the air in perpetual sheet
of water, whipped until it looked like
milk, and blown back by the gale in
streams of rain. The entire ship was
deluged by the spray. She must have
been magnificent sight from distance.
Her running in this weather was between
40 and 500 miles day, even when it
was necessary to slow down for a times
Thus her speed is as high in roughsaBin
smooth weather.
