There are some intellectual employ
ments which require very small stock

may pursue his Investigations, even into
the higher branches of pure science, with
very few books. But if a man be more
than ordinarily interested in the great
problems of history and all that they in
volye and have an irrepressible banker
Ing to know what is being discussed in his
favorite subjects, he must keep himself
in touch with the thought and discover
les of others. If he be a dweller In a
great city he has clubs and libraries,
newspapers and periodicals, books and
maps, almost at his elbow, to say moth
ing of the living men whom he may con
suit with at any hour.
But ii he be a dweller in the wilder
ness, he must count the cost of having
literary tastes, and that cost he win have
to pay in coin Of the realm. l hold it
to be simply impossible for a very needy
man to keep pace with the historical re-
search of our time il his lot be cast in a
country village. ANY man who has lost
his heart to the muse of history
though he can in no sense claim to be a
historian-is a man with tastes, and
such a mans "pens, ink and paper"
must needs come 10 a great deal in the
course of the year. Such man may be
considered fortunate one who can pay
the reckoning by the profits of his own

Chlor )form, which has proved such an
inestimable boon to thousands of suffer
ers, was discovered by chance. DR.. Simp-
son (who was afterwards knighted) set
himself to find some anesthetic to take
the place of ether, which had gained bad
name owing to the fact that several
deaths had occurred through the careless
use of it. Other scientists joined him in
his researches, and carefully analysed
every substance which they thought was
in the least likely to give the desired re-
suit. One night the party were busily
engaged in their self imposed task. They
had tested every subject which had been
selected for experiment without any
thing approaching to a favorable issue,
and were beginning to feel disheartened
by their lack of success.
As one of them was poking about the
laboratory to see if he could find any
thing else which might be pat into the
little testing glass with which each was
provided, he happened upon a small bot
tie of dark substance which was looked
upon more as a curiosity than as possess
ing any useful properties With scarcely
a thought of success he poured little of
it into each of the tubes, and the mem
bers of the party began to inhale it. For
a few moments they seemed seized with
an unusual gladness, but soon they one
after another fell to the ground, over
come by the powerful fumes. AS they
gradually came to again they recognized
that their search was over, and from
that occasion dates the use of chloroform
as an an@sthetic.- Montreal Star.

An automatic card shuffier is the work
Of an English inventor. Mr. Booth. It
works thus: A sharp turn to the right OF
either of the two handles places the ma
chine in working order, The cards are
then dropped into the slot. The machine
works by itself, and the cards gradually
disappear. When the whole have passed
into the machine the handle is turned
again i'm the same direction and the cards
will be brought back to the surface OF
the table.
Another pack should then be placed
in the slot, and the shuffling process re-
peats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. 1. When the
hand has been played out turn of the
handle brings up pack No. ready shut
fed, and the used pack No. is then
placed in the slot in place Of pack No. 2.
This process may be repeated indefinitely.
By this arrangement every card changes
its position, passing through the machine
in twenty seconds.-Chicago Herald.

The crowds of politicians were treated
to heavenly display at about l O'Clock
one morning that is rarely witnessed. 1t
was a lunar rainbow, as perfect and as
brilliant as the most perfect and
brilliant rainbow that ever adorned an
eastern sky when the sun bursts forth
after summer evening shower. The
bow first formed a half circle over the
moon and underwent gradual change
until a perfect cross and crescent were
formed. The play of color was beauti-
fully grand, and the whole western sky
was so brilliantly Illuminated that the
electric street lights paled. Lunar rain
bows are supposed to be the heavenly
forerunners of war, and when they take
the form of cross and crescent the war
which will follow will be of a religious

his shirt, which he utilized as a flag of

are conducted much more economically
than the banks; that they consequently
pay larger dividends; that they can be
successfully carried on in places too
