Who Lost the Principal.

1t is told Of a prominent business man
of the city, says the Boston Courier,
that he bought through a broker bonds to
the amount of $4,000, and on receiving
them PIT them into the outside peck
ct OF his overcoat, walked to the head
OF Milk street, where he became en-
tangled in crowd and had the bonds
stolen. All this was only somewhat
exaggerated case OF carelessness, but
what followed showed that the man
was philosopher.
The usual steps were taken to dis
cover and recover the missing sec
urltles, but when some days had passed
without any clew the owner began to
conclude that he should never hear of
them.
WELL" he remarked to his broker
one day when he had dropped in to in
quire whether anything had been heard
OF the stolen securities and his question
had been answered in the negative,
''tnere's one thing about it; all lose is
the interest of the money"

that Left s shallop ran into soft bottom

A Wife's Complaint.

Mrs. Otto Hampel, the wife of prom
lnent real estate agent, has entered suit
tor separation and alimony. She mar
ried Mr.. Hampel twenty years ago.
For the first six years they lived happi-
ly together. On the seventh anniversary
of their wedding day he wrenched 8
leg from the breakfast table and beat
her with it because the mullins were
soggy. Two months later he squeezed
her between an open door and the wall
till she tainted. He ducked her in a
washtub ten or twelve times. A few
weeks ago he beat her with a frying
pan. He tore her face, pulled out
much OF her hair and sprained both of
her wrists by twisting them. Although
his income is large, he has long allowed
her only SIS week with which to sup
port and dress herself and three chill
dren. All this negligence and cruelty,
she says, is the result of his intimacy
with one of her old school girl friends.

A Singing Couple.
From the Gentleman Magazine


The history OF opera could record
many instances where the presence of
husband and wife on the same stage
has been forced upon an impressario to
enable him to secure one OF the pair.
AS rule, however, it invariably tran
spires that the famous primadonna is
weighted with an incompetent husband
or vice versa, and as the pair like a two
headed nightingale, cannot be separat-
ed, the manager endures and pays both
TOR the sake of one. Such couples are
SO atfectionate that they cannot bear to
see stranger step in and play tenn
porary Romeo TO the opposite Juliet-a
state of things which is satisfactory

scribers to the theater and the man
ayers takings, Ansari, tenor Of the
opera house In 1850, and his wife affected
such partnership; but he had such a
vile temper, and in marrying Signora
Maccherini had claimed SO desperate a
virago, that the pair upset the usual or
der OF things-they could scarcely be
trusted to meet on the same stage. So
fearfully jealous were they of each
other that if one happened to be APP
plauded more than the o5her these
amiable beings resorted to the lively
occupation of employing persons to hiss
one another off the stage. Thisswas,

Cuban Kitchens.
From Good Housekeeping.


To American eyes Cuban kitchen
looks very strange and unusual. In it
one does not see the usual range and nu-
merous shining tins, and in place o. our
pOrtly Bridget, one finds generally col
ored man or an Acknowledged son of the
Celestial Empire. The Kitchen is the
yard, generally tiled on it's sides and
doors You will notice running from
one side of the kitchen to the other a
fiat platform, and at intervals of two feet
a CRATE about five inches wide and ten
inches deep. These CRATES are built in
the solid platform, and have the draft
underneath. There are usually eight or
more of these CRATES. Each one is en-
tirely independent of the other and has
its own separate fire. Charcoal is the
fuel used, and the gas and smell of cook
ing all go up large chimney built over
the platform, so that one seldom gets
the benefit of the odors.
The cooking utensils are few, and SIM
pie, and are generally of glazed earth
enware. No bread or cake is ever made
in any Cuban family; it all comes from
the bakers and is of excellent quality.
The cooking is as different from Ameri-
can cookery as is the kitchen. Garlic
and other odd spices are used, and many
will, merely from the fact of garlic being
used, condemn it at once. am positive
that the most bigoted would be won
over after partaking OF one of Manner
to's faultless dinners.

Blind Fish.

At the Royal Institution, Professor
Ray Lancaster accounted for the ab-
sence of eyes in the fishes in the famous
underground Kentucky caves in the
following way: A great flood carries to
the bottom of the Kentucky caves,
some thirty miles below the surface, a
number of fish, among whose numer-
Gus offspring will be some defective in
sight, as some babies are born blind,
or without any eyes at all. The fish
who can see some faint glimmerings Of
light will swim away toward that light,
while those will remain that cannot
perceive the CLEANS. This with every
succeeding generation would accur, the
stronger in sight swimming away and
the weaker remaining, and as the
breeding would therefore occur be-
tween those of the worst sight, fish
would be born with weaker eyes and
weaker until born blind. The Professor
also accounted for the white patch on
rabbits tails. He explained that as
rabbits are gregarious animals, sig
mailing is of great advantage to them,
and that the white patch SO conspicuous
against the darker fur of the rest of the
body is of use as signal. Hares. on
the other HAND. being solitary animals,
do rot stand in need ofa signal Hence,
tie tail of the hare is not conspicuous
in It's color,

A Great Editors Grave.
From the Louisville Post.


AS you pass through Cave Hill Gene
terry along the avenue that runs
just to the northward of the public
vaults you will, perhaps, see the grave
of George d. Prentice. You will doubt
less be astonished to see it marked by
one of the smallest and cheapest pieces
of marble to be found in the GENE terry.
Near to this grave are those of Mrs.
Prentice and of Clarence Prentice, the
son of George D. mentioned this to a
gentleman who was a friend of the
great editor and poet, and who is fam
liar with the facts connected with the
closing year of his life. He said:
"When Prentice died there was a
notice of only few lines in the Journal
concerning his death, and nothing like
proper obituary sketch. The paper
did not appear In mourning at all. It
was understood that it's proprietors, for
some reason, feared that it would injure
the circulation if much were said con-
corning the dead journalist. Further
more, for over fifteen years after Prem
tees death his grave was unmarked by
any stone whatever.
Prentice died poor. His last days
were passed in little furnished room
in the yard of his son Clarence, who
owned farm near the country place of
the late DIR. Standiford, on the Preston
Street Road. His wife died many years
before he did,

Air Resistance TO Trains.
Railroad Gazette


The fat front of a locomotive and it's
projecting cab are highly unsuitable for
rapid movement through an atmosphere
which has pressure SO great at fifteen
pounds per square inch, and therefore
considerable inertia. The remedy for
this is simple, and ahead resistance
would be much reduced by conforming,
approximately, an engine-front to the
well-known shape of boat or ship. 1t
Is very much wiser, however, to reduce
the air resistance at the rear of train
A marine architect who made his ships
stern absolutely rectangular and fiat
would be counted worse man than he
who made a bluff bow, and yet railway
engineers have for fifty years been drag
ging fiat stern vessels at sixty miles per
hour through the atmosphere at an i'm
mense expenditure OF power, and no
one of them has cared to test the effect
of adding light, tapering frame to the
rear end of a train, and noting the de-
creased resistance, although everyone
is familiar with the rush of air which
follows train in it's attempt to fill up
the vacuum formed

Spontaneous Combustion.
From the Baltimore Sun.


From all the principles of chemistry
spontaneous combustion is possible
and, IN fact. q frequent phenomenon.
Prof. William L. Tonry, the chemist,
saws the flame In such cases invariably
arises from a com bination of oxygen
with some material favorable to produc-
ing heat.
Wherever there is turpentine there is
always danger OF spontaneous combus-
ton. Ii the substance be poured on
rags, especially when they are soaked
with grease, fire is likely to result. Fur
nisure establishments and all places
where oils and turpentine are kept are
especially liable to visitation from fires
of inexplicabie origin.
Hay, when moist and packed tightly,
ferments BY a natural process aid alb
serbs oxygen so freely as to produce
flame in many instances. Sulphuric
acid if allowed to come in contact with
bagging at fertilizer factories is also q
source of great danger. The same acid,
If mixed with water, produces intense
heat
A comm On source of unexpected COM
bustion is the gas which escapes from a
jet which has been carelessly left open.
Gas and common air produce an ex-
ploslve compound which can be touched
of like gunpowder by tiny flame.
Prof. Tonry says it is very difficult to
prevent combustion which arises from
natural combinations, although thor
ough ventilation and cleanliness In pri-
waite houses and business establishments
will 60 long way toward reducing the
danger. The phenomenon is common
to all season, although temperature of
20 or so degrees, which is high enough
for fermentation, is most favorable to it.
An accumulation of infammable ma
terials is always to be avoided. It was
once believed that human bodies, es-
pecially those Of inc briates, were liable
to take fire and be consumed spontane-
ously. but the theory finds but little ac-
ceptance in these DAYS

There is a Difference.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
There was jolly little group about a
table in a downtown cafe last night
shaking dice for the lemonade. The
man who threw the lowest number had
to pay for the lemonade and tell story.
All at the table had been "stuck" but
one gentleman who is noted for his
keenness of repartee. The gentleman
who had been stuck told nothing but
anecdotes and antique tales. Not a
new story had been recited; and they
were all chestnuts. When the gentle
man noted for repartee had been
'stuck" there was applause, a cali tor
drinks, and demand for new story.
Il can't tell a story" said the gentle
man, as he ordered the proper thing,
'but I'll ask you conundrum."

WELL" he went on, what is the
difference between turkey and a
man ?'''
The odd conundrum foored the
crowd. The questioner was appealed
to for an answer. The difference be-
tween a turkey and man." he ex-
planned as he rose to leave, "is that a
turkey isn't stuffed with chestnuts until
it's dead" The crowd comprehended.

There were some queer electrical &C.

some wires drew strong current of
electricity into the heavy iron
front Of the Lochrane building
People passing received some
pretty heavy shocks, and streaks of
fire flashed from the iron pill
lars. For awhile there was big sensa-
ton in that neighborhood. Finally
Electrician Van Dusen got a wire and
drew the current from the building, by
attaching it to an iron bar of the graf
ing, and discharged it into water plug.
This soon set the building right. While
it was being tapped the electric lights
went out and Tor half an hour the city
was in darkness.
