Some Wonderful Puppets,

NJ George Bertrand, talented painter,
pupil of M. Bonnat, who some years ago
exhibited large picture called ''Patrie, s"
which had a great success has given up
painting in order to devote his attention
exclusively to the construction of life size
puppets, which are so jointed as to execute
movements of the most surprising kind.
The Figaro newspaper, which has taken
the invention under its patronage, brought
together an influential audience to see and
hear the first representation. The figures
produce striking effect on the spectator,
who might imagine them to be the charac-
tiers in tale of Hoffman, taking form and
life. A violoncellist plays an air full of
sentiment and spirit; four dancers, care
fully dressed after the fashion of the opera,
execute a ballet. A clown plays with artis-
tic skill on the violin, and Spanish couple
the male dancer with tambourine and
his partner with castanets-go through the
most varied Spanish dances to the tune of
the Espana of Chabrier.
The movements, the gestures, even the
expression of the faces, are marvelously
life like The exhibition was most success
full 1t was unanimously applauded by
those present. Curiously enough, I have
never heard the pictures of NJ. Bertrand so
much spoken of as have done since he took
to making puppets.-Paris Cor. London

The WAY to Court in Holland.

In certain parts of Holland, when q
young man thinks he has found his affin-
ity, it is customary for him to ask for
match to light his cigar at the door of the
loved ones house. This little subterfuge
is intended to arouse the parents of the
girl to the fact that something is in the
wind. If second call with similar OBJ
ject is made soon after, no doubt is left OF
the young mans intentions, and the par
ents proceed to investigate the young
mans character and antecedents with the
view of ascertaining his eligibility as a
member of the family.
When he calls the third time, always for
a match to light his cigar, they are pre-
pared to give him an answer. If his suit is
regarded with favor he is politely requested
to step inside for the first time and is served
with a light. If he is not accepted he is
refused light and the door is shut in his
face without further ceremony. But hav-
ing prepared for this contingency, the
downcast sutton will in all probability light
his weed with match from his own box,
and walk away musing on the transitory,
nature of all earthly things.
When the accepted sutton is invited to
enter the house he, as matter of course,
informs the parents which of their daugh-
tiers has captivated his fancy. When this
is settled the young man steps forward and
they join hands. While the engagement is
by no means considered a settled fact even
at this important STAGE yet it is stated as a
truth that when on the occasion of the
young mans third visit his inamorata has
offered him a second cigar, which he had
smoked in the house, the engagement has
never been canceled.-Philadelph North

The elevator in the modern big buildings
has only one draw back-that is the sick
ness it causes when the car is suddenly
stopped. To people of delicate constitu-
ton this sickness is often such serious
matter that to them the elevator is dan
gerous blessing. This sickness can be
avoided by observing simple physical
laws. Elevator sickness is caused by the
same law that throws person to the
ground when he gets off moving car
in the wrong way. The stoppage of the
elevator car brings dizziness to the
head and sometimes nausea at the stom-
ach. The internal organs seem to want to
rise into the throat. All this comes from
the fact that all parts of the body are not
stopped at the same moment Of time. The
feet being next to the car floor stop with
the car, while other portions of the body
continue moving. If the body as whole
can be arrested at the same time with the
feet there will be no sickness. This can be
done by placing the head and shoulders
against the car frame Then there will be
no sickness. 1t is sure preventive-New

The Sweaters Victim.

elbow to tell sweaters victim?" said an
east side DOCTOR "Why, all you have to do
is to look at the eyes. Whenever in this
part of the city you see man going along
the street as though he were half blind
with steadfast, strained look on his face
and his eyes bloodshot, you can make up
your mind that he works for a sweater. The
constant bending over the sewing machine
in dark rooms ruins mans eyes in year

enough money to start in as a sweater him

dust and the poor ventilation, and the whole
system is damaged by the long hours and
the lack of exercise. If the shop is too
small one to afford steam power an in

Bismarck and His Dinner.

Very quaint and characteristic is that
touch about Prince Bismarck in the ex-
periences of the German workingman at
court which the good fellow has been re-
lating to his admiring townspeople at
home A chance arising of a few words
with the great chancellor, the delighted
locksmith seized it by expressing his graft
tude to his majesty for giving the work
men the chance of speaking in the stats

Iy; cit is long in coming" We can just
imagine the old Reichskanzler, bored and
hungry, thinking more on victuals than on
la haute politique, and supremacy oblivious
of the fact that for his interlocutor this
was unique moment of his life, and one
whose record will be handed down for good
or evil to local posterity.-Pall Mall Ga

How Pike Roe Tastes.

A gentleman who. resides over on the
west side is the proud father of a bright
son, who is very original in his remarks.
His father is a great man for delicacies
in the eating line, and scarcely day
passes that he does not carry home with
him choice dish of some sort. One even
ing he carried home a batch of pike roe,
and this he had nicely broiled for breakfast
the following morning His little son was
not sure about the dish and he took a
mouthful of it rather uncertainty. When
he tasted it he made a rather wry face and
his mother, noticing this, asked Charlie,

China and Crockery.

At small and select dinner party the
conversation turned upon the question OF
social distinctions, and two or three of the
convives maintained the inherent superior
ity of employers to employed. One gentle
lady murmured "We are the china, they
are the crockery." Then some one asked
to see the hosts pretty children, and the
host nodded to man servant who had

to the conversation. The man went to the

Composition of Meteorites.

Chemists report the recent analysis OF
two remarkable meteorites. One, which
FELL in June at Migheni, Russia, contains
about five per cent. of organic matter in
the shape of yellow substance closely re-
sembling resin, and also has about two per
cent. of what is apparently metallic salt It
of new element. The other meteorite fell
at Carcote, Chill, and contains not only
carbon in organic substances soluble IN
ether, but also an elementary crystalline
form of carbon-dull black and very hard
which is, in fact, variety of black dla'

Hypnotism for Surgery.

Eddy Carten, St. Louis newsboy, while
trying to board a car, fell under the wheels
and was seriously injured. He began to
scream with pain, whereupon Mr.. Thay-
er, of Boston, picked the little fellow up
and announced to the bystanders that he
would hypnotic him. Suiting the action
to the word he placed his hands on the
boys eyes and commanded him to be quiet.
Immediately the little chaps cries ceased
and he lay as one dead, apparently oblivi-
GUS of everything. The lad remained in
this state for over an hour, while the doc
tor examined and dressed the injured leg,
which had sustained compound fracture.
When the doctor was setting Eddie's leg
the little fellow, though seemingly uncon-
scious, evinced signs of pain by drawing up
his lip. Mr.. Thayer, noticing this, sternly
commanded him to close his mouth. The
boy obeyed instantly and never moved
muscle again until the doctor had COM
pleted his operation and requested Mr..
Thayer to wake the patient, which he did
by swapping his fingers before the boys
eyes There were a number of persons
present, among whom were several physi-
clans, who pronounced the power possessed

Till the poor little head was weary
And the poor little brain would swim,
And the face grew peaked and eerie,
And the large eyes strange and bright,
And they said-too late-s'He is weary,

THE REST is SILENCE.

When the loved voice is heard no more
Whose falling tones were doubly dear,
There falls upon the listening ear
A silence never felt before.
It is not that the senses strain
To catch a sound they may not hear;
1t is the grieving spirits ear
That longs and listens still in vain.
And, lol this silence, sudden grown,
Threads every cry Of joy or fear;

Break with wailing undertone.

Seamless Steel Boats.

Hydraulic power is now being applied to
the manufacture of seamless steel boats.
These boats are claimed to be proof against
the destructive influences of sun and shower
and to be much more durable and reliable
than the ordinary wooden boats. Though
made of steel, the weight will not be greater
than that of a wooden boat of the same size,
and the buoyancy will consequently be not
less. It is contended that in every respect
the seamless steel boat will be superior to the
wooden one, and the cost of the one will not
be materially greater than that of the other.
