MONUM ENTS.

Mrs Geo. Beeman of Williamson has
accepted design of w. Nj. Cline, the
we'll known Mason marble dealer who
will remove his entire business to this
city I'm August, for a monument for
her deceased husband which will be
the most artistic piece of work of its
kind ever produced in Ingham county.
The stone which will be carved from
the famous Bedford rock, will stand
nine feet high, measure three and one
half feet in diameter near the base and
weigh 81 tons
The design represents storm-beaten
oak with Its solitary branch broken and
hanging straight down, but still retain
ing life enough to cling to the parent
stem. On the opposite side on the
stump of another branch stands pot
containing a long slender group of
Gala lilies, cut out of the solid mass
of stone of which the tree forms part.
A delicate line of ivy winds about the
rugged old trunk from bottom to top
and there is the usual fungus growth
upon its sides. The bark is torn down
in front to give place for the usual in
scriptiOn. The stone will be of expert
carved work throughout.-S State Repub-
Hcdn, Lansing.-E. l.. Brown is here at
present in the interest of this company
and any parties DESTROYS of purchasing
anything in his line, will do well to
give him their order.

HE TENOR'S REVENGE.
He Broods Over the Encore and Decides
to Try It himself.


to Try 1t Himself.
He was tenor singer noted for th
sweetness of his voice. and consequen
ly q favorite with the public This W;
gratifying to him, but encores gre
tiresome after time, and he began
consider it unfair that he should
compelled to perform double work eve
night that he sang. He thought tn
things over until he waxed wroth.
One day, while promenading Il
principal street of the city whore ]
was singing. he thought he would do
little encoring himself and see how
would work. He stepped into
store, found the proprietor, whom
recognized as a patron of the opera,
and asked the price of silk hat.
"Seven dollars" was the reply.
The tenor selected one and paid for
1t, and then he shouted, "Encorer'
"What do you mean?" asked tho
proprietor, in amazemeut.
Repeat the hat" said the tenor.
Certainly sir" said the proprietor,
handing down another, and exact
duplicate.
The man with voice picked them
both up and started for the door.
Hold on there," cried the halter,
'you haven't paid for that other hat"
II got it on an encore" explained
the tenor.
IAN encore?"
Yes. it's an encore hat. paid for
one and then / called for an encore
and got it. That's all right"
'But we don't do business that way"
you oblige us to, though"
Explain"
Tres VOLUNTEERS You were at tho
opera last night, We're you notr"
'Yes, was there; but / don't SEQ
what that has TO do with your getting
hat for nothing"
Listen. You paid to hear the opera
sung?"
Certainly did. I'm no deadhead.
S'pose we call the two hats"
Don't call them yet. You didn't
pay to hear that opera sung twice, did
you?"
''How absurd! Certainly not. What
do you say to $12 for the two"
''Say nothing until get through. I
am the tenor of that opera troupe.
Nearly every aria that / sang l was
required to repeat, and If / am not
mistaken you yelled encore louder
than any one else. Metaphorically
speaking, you were getting two hats
and this caps the climax-for the price
of one; seep"
The halter did see, and he wanted to
make the singer present of a hat to
set the matter even, but he declined it,
bowed and pursued the even tenor of
his way.-Texas Siftings
1t seems rather paradoxical to speak
OF water as an excitant OF combustion.
yet Mr. Brereton Baker showed the
London Chemical Society in 1882 that
carbon burns less freely in dried than
in moist oxygen. Continuing his re-
searches, the same investigator has
found that selenium. tellurium, arsen-
ic and anthony burn with equal readi.
ness in dry and moist oxygen; but that
the combustion of carbon, sulphur,
boron, and both the red and yellow
notifications OF phosphorus, Is great
ly modified by the amount OF moisture
present Some oxidation took place in
all cases, but its extent varied with
the degree of dryness of the substances.
and no flameappeared when most of the
moisture had been excluded. Yellow
phosphorus was obtained of such purity
that it did not even glow in dried oxy-
gen, though the addition OF water
caused rapid ccnbustion.-Ark
