4 ST. LOUIS MAN.

A funny old fellow, with s red, woolen scarf around his neck, was arraigned before the police judge, having been arrested while drunk.
 "Where are you from2" asked the judge
 "No offense, your honor, but I am from St. Louis"
 "Lived in St. Louis, suppose?"
 "Yes, sir, but no ofense judge. Let's regard the whole thing ss joke"
 "Born in St. Louis, no doubt"
 "Yes sir, but no offense intended. Let's look st it as a joke and laugh over it, he, he, her, haw, haw."
 "Think that St. Louis ought to have the worlds fair, presume?"
 "Yes but no oAense judge; but let's look at it in the light of a joke, te, he, he."
 "Think that St. Louis has the finest bridge in the world, don't your"
 "Yes, sir, but to show that mean no ofense, let's call 1t joke"
 "Well, sir, you were arrested on serious charge, and as you have pleaded guilty will only fine you twenty five dollars" continued the judge. Ac- knowledging the different St. Louis points had done the work.

THE MAJORS EXPERIMENT.

Old Major Bloomrod, one of the best known planters in the neighborhood of Bayou dc Brayse, being close reader of 6 daily paper, had become acquainted with the sensational result of the dscov cries recently made by pr. Browns Sequard. Dur ing several months the major had been confined to his room he suffered from the effect of malaria and the patent medicine mans chief delight, general debility. The old gentleman read with some little suspicion, at first, but when he saw that Dr. Ham, mond had pounded up particle of lamb, and had, by squirting 1t into old man, made of him capering boy he decided to have the experiment tried upon himself; he sent for the neighboring physician, feeder of quinine and skillful saliva tor of the old school.
 "Doctor," said the major, when the physician had entered the room "I want to be young again"
 "I should say so," the doctor answered. "I wouldn't mind calling back 8 few years myself We'll, what can do for you?"
 "Do you know anything of Brown -Sequard2"
 "Never heard ot him."
 "Well, do you know anything of Hammond2"
 "I know old Josh Hammond that lives on the bustin' up his chills."
 "I mean the celebrated physician"
 "No, never heard of him."
 1non you uOu'L knOW anyInlnR OI the discovery of the elixir of life2"
 "Not unless it's quinine."
 The major, after indulging in contemptuous snort, explained the method by which the renewal of youth was effected. "Brown-Sequard" the major added, fuses the guinea-pig, but Hammond prefers the lamb. I don't know that it makes any difference which one is employed, but as we have no guinea-pig, we will try the lamb. I want the experiment made st once. Get some of the negroes to help you catch lamb and dress it. Pound up some of the tenderest parts of the animal in accord ance with the plan which have told you has been adopted by those two great physicians; and then want you to inject the liquid into my arm."
 The doctor went out, and, accompanied by a negro, sought the sheep-fold. Not single sheep could they find.
 "Say, Doc," said the negro, to whom the object of the expedition had been explained, awhuts de use'n trampin' our laigs oil loekn' fur dem sheep2

 "I don't know that 1t would really make any difference" the doctor answered.
 "Cose 1t wouldn't You jest wait yere till git my gun an fetch de ole lady downP
 The SOW was killed and a part of her-not the tenderest part, either-was pounded into pulp and was strainedthrough piece of mosquito bar. The syringe used was almost as large a garden hose, but the major, looking fondly to the return of his youthful vigor, uttered no complaint. Shortly after the injection the major began to grunt.
 "Does your arm pain you, major2" the doctor asked.
 "Oh, no. Ugh, ugh, ugh, hooh, hooh"
 The doctor looked on in surprise, but said noth- ing Pretty soon the major got up and, rubbing his back against corner of the bureau, grunted with extreme atisaction; then, discovering on the mantel- piece a prize ear of corn that had come from the county fir he seized 1t and began to de- vour it.
 "Gracious aliveF" exclaimed the doctor, "that hard stuff will ruin your stomach-it will give you indigestion"
 1 don't know what that is, ugh, hooh, hooh !" the major answered and then with & sudden bound he sprang through the door, ran to the garden gate, threw the gate off its hinges, rushed into the garden and began to demolish the tomato vines. The doctor, now much excited, after the major.
 "For gracious sake, old man, don't tear up your garden this way"
 The major cracked peach pit with his teeth, uttered a frightening booh, booh, jumped over the fence and ran of down into the corn- field. The doctor and several of the farm hands searched for the major, and although they could see where he had been tearing down the corn, yet they did not find him until late in the evening. In company with several hogs the old gentleman was wallow- ing in the spring branch. He is now securely locked in & room. He drinks buttermilk from a trough and appears to be enjoying himself Opie P.

 "'No, sir, have not misled you. Gentleness Is her strongest hold It is her gentleness that knocks me. Don't think that the scold is the worst type of hen- -pecking women for she isn't. Why, sir, if my wife were a scold I would get mad and leave the house, but as 1t is 1 am dsarmed. When l leave home my wife always insists upon my appointing the exact time when I will return. If I am late, no matter what business has detained me- she cries and takes on and declares that don't love her.

Next morning she gets up before awake. When I get up find her at the breakfast table, with swollen eyes and an expression of such unutterable sadness that feel like kicking myself This is what call the worst kind of hen- pecking, and don't misunderstood me when I say a man doesn't want more than two such sieges a month";"

Telautograph.


Professor Elisha Gray seems to have
nearly, if not quite, perfected his telauto-
graph or writing telegraph. Professor
rupters at the sending end and pair of
electromotors at the receiving end. The
sender uses either pen or pencil, near the
point of which are attached two threads
running at right-angles to each other.
These threads are kept at an even tension
automatically, and each one passes TO a
current interrupter set into the telegraphic
circuit. When the pen moves to the right
the current is broken great number of
times for small movement. When it
moves to the left the current is reversed,
and is similarly interrupted. The same
arrangement prevails on the movement of
the pen up and down. The writer can
write or sketch as rapidly and freely as if
he had no Geographic attachment. At
the receiving end there are two electro
magnets fitted with rods set at right
angles to each other, SO pivoted as to give
any motion desired to the pen which they
carry at their intersection. When a series
of breaks in the current is caused by a
motion of the sending pen to the right,
the magnet draws the magnet rod also to
the right. Similarly upward motion is
given by the vertical rod. Left-handed
or downward strokes of the sending pen
are reproduced by the receiving pen in the
same manner. Consequently every mo-
tion made on the paper at one end Of the
wire is copied at the other end. When
the pen is taken off or new line is begun,
an automatic device operates with the
same result on the receiving pen.-Engin-

OUR COFFEE.
THE DRINK WHICH CHEERS BUT
NOT INTOXICATES.
And Where the Supply Comes from
The United States the Great
est Consumer.

The United States is the greatest con-
sumner of coffee in the world. More is re-
quired for our consumption than for the
consumption of all the inhabitants of
Austro-Hungary, France, Germany and
the United Kingdom combined The to-
tai imports in 1887 we're 526, 109, 170
pounds, an average of over nine pounds of
coffee per inhabitant Two countries of
Europe, the Netherlands and Belgium,
show larger consumption per capita than
this, the former of twenty pounds and the
latter of ten pounds. This is explainable
by the circumstance that the consumption
here shown is more apparent than real,
and the figures given do not really indicate
the local consumption, but include imports
of coffee in transit which are consumed in
other countries. The largest coffee mark
cts IN Europe are situated in the countries
mentioned. These and other facts regard
ing coffee supply and consumption are
presented in the October volume of Con-
sular Reports issued by the State Depart
ment at Washington.
The bulk of the coffee consumed in the
United States is obtained from American
sources. A little over 4 per cent. comes
from the Dutch East Indies and the Meth
erlands. Brazil is by far the most import
ant single shipper of coffee to this country.
The following table gives the aggregate
quantity and values of the imports in the
fiscal year 1887, and the countries from
which exported:

LIFE In AZTEC LAND.
A Savannah Man Tells What He Saw in
Mexico

John X. Dillon. who went to Mexico as
a conductor on the Mexican National
Captain w. G.. Raours road-has returned
10 Savannah, and is back on the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway again. His
description of the country and the habits
and customs of the natives of Mexico is
highly interesting. When you cross the
borders of Mexico" he said, "the Gus
toms officials examine all of your baggage,
but they are not so officious as in some
other countries. They allow you to take
anything OF personal nature that you
want, and no restrictions are placed upon
the amount you carry. After passing into
Mexico, everything is Mexican except the
railroads and the railroad eating houses.
The railroads have three classes OF cars, In
which the fare is cents, cents and l ]
cents a kilometer, or fiye-eights of mile.
The third-class cars have seat running
through the center and one on each side,
similar to our street cars. The second
class cars correspond very well with our
first-class cars, and the fi-st-class are as
fine as any that are built"
"How does the cost of living in Mexico
compare with the price in this country?''
sit don't cost great deal to live there.
Fare is comparatively cheap. The eating
houses charge 81 per meal in Mexican
money, for which the banks on the border
allow IS cents in American money. At
almost any hotel outside Of the City of
Mexico you are charged not more than IS
cents for breakfast, about 80 cents for din
ner and 81 cents for supper. Beds cost
so cents. There is no such thing there as
a private boarding house,

Casting Plat. Glas..

The casting tables, the most important
piece of apparatus in a plate-glass works,
are nineteen feet long, fourteen feet wide
and seven inches thick. Each is provided
with an iron roller thirty inches in diam
eter and fifteen feet long. Strips Of iron
on each side of the table afford a bearing
for the rollers and determine the thickness
Of the plate of glass to be cast. The
rough plate is commonly nine-sixteenths
OF an inch in thickness; after polishing, it
is reduced to six or seven-sixteenths. The
casting tables are mounted on wheels and
run on a track that reaches every furnace
and annealing oven in the building. The
table having been wheeled as near as pos
sible TO the melting furnace, the pot of
molten glass is lifted by means of crane,
and It's contents quickly poured on the
table. The heavy iron roller is then
passed from end to end, spreading the glass
into a layer of uniform thickness. The
whole operation of casting scarcely
scribe it. Each movement is made with
almost nervous rapidity. Few industries
offer such fine scenic display as the pour
ing Of the molten glass One feels like
crying Encore it is so very brilliant.
In contact with the cold metal OF the
table the glass cools rapidly. As soon as
possible the door of the annealing oven is
opened, and the plate Of glass introduced.
The floor of the oven is on the same level
as the casting table, so that the transfer
an be conveniently aud quickly made
when, after several days, the glass is
taken out of the oven, its surface is found
to be decidedly rough and uneven. A
small quantity is used in this condition
for sky-ights and other purposes where
strength is required without transparency.
