An automatic card shuffler is the work
of an English inventor, Mr.. Booth. 1t
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 in 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 shuffiing process re-
peats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. l. When the
hand has been played out turn of the
handle brings up pack No. ready shut
fled, 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
i'm twenty seconds.-Chicago Herald.

How Tim othy Grass Was Named,

Timothy or herd grass is the most COM
mon grass of continental Europe, grow
ing wild throughout all that vast region
between the Mediterranean sea on the
south and the North sea in the direction
the name implies 1t is not known ex-
actly when it was first introduced into
the United States, but this much is
known, it takes its name from Timothy
Hanson, a farmer of Maryland, who
brought it into general notice as a hay
grass, after he had cultivated it extern
sively for his own use for years. The
botanical name for the grass is phleum
pratense. 1t is curious fact that, al
though its native home is Europe, the
United States is the first country in
which it was grown, cut and cured for
hay. Not longer ago than 1885 some
timothy heads and seeds were taken to
England and exhibited as curiosities.-

A Lunar Rainbow.

The crowds of politicians were treated
to heavenly display at about l o'clock
one morning that is rarely witnessed. 1t
was 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 a summer evening shower. The
bow first formed 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
nature.-Miiwaukee News.

CONTRAST.

Far away where the sunny fields slope southwark,
Quick ming winds sweep inland from the sea;
Fern fringcd islands dream away the hours,
Soft clouds floating low DER hill and lea.
Here the lake sleeps white and still,
Earth's great heart is growing chill
Far away the winds in pine woods dusky
Murmur songs of lands across the foam,
Ere they wander, bearing odors muSky,
To the climes where they delight to roam.
Here the blast shrieks loud and shriI,
While its cold caresses kill.
Far away where life and love are springing,
Warm hearts call to hearts that quick respond;
Youth lasts ever, making love eternal
Youth and summer linked in loves sweet bond.
Here the pulse beats thick and slow,
Life's brief taper burneth low.

= Wax Figure of an Emperor Beheaded.
There are men employed at the Eden

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

Rain Improves Things in the Northwest,
but Eastern and Southern Reports Are
Not Favorable.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The weather.
crop bulletin issued for the week says:
The recent rains in the Northwest
have greatly improved the crop condi-
ton in that section, including the states
Of Minnesota, Dakotas, Nebraska and
Iowa, although local drouths are re-
ported in North Dakota and Northwest
Minnesota. While the rain has been
favorable for small grain, it has been
too cool for corn, which is being re-
planted in some sections of Iowa, Hi
nois and Missouri.
In Kansas the weather for the week
was not so favorable, and crops are in
jured in some sections, except in the
southeast, where wheat was improved.
| Cold and wet weatherhas retarded seed

conditions are generally reported us IN

Advantage of Building Associations

1t may be stated that the associations
are conducted much more economically
than the banks; that they consequently
pay larger dividends; that they can be
successfully carried on in places too
small to support bank, and that by ad-
vancing money to members to purchase
homes they provide an immediate in
vestment and give the borrower the
strongest possible inducement to continue
his saving.-W. A. Linn in Scribner's

Food of Hebrews.

A rabbi of Montreal says that the low
death rate among Jews is owing to their
adherence to the Mosaic law, which per-
mits for use as food only the flesh of such
animals as divide the hoof and chew the
cud. In the killing of these animals the
strictest examination had to be made to
prevent the communication of disease to
man. AS to fish, the Jews only eat those
with both fins and scales, and oysters, in
his opinion, are simply the "scavengers
of the sea-" HOLSTERS, crabs and other
crustacea are likewise tabooed.- Chicago

And for Sixty of Them He Lived ON
Twelve Ounces of Food Per Day.
Lewis Cornaro, noble Venetian, had
been profes5ed epicure and libertine
till he entered the fortieth year of his
age.
His constitution was so far reduced by
the collie, cheumatic pains, fever, etc.,
that his physicians at length assured
him that he could not survive much
longer than two months; that no medi-
cine whatever could avert the catastro-
phe, and that the only possible means of
preserving his life would be regular
adherence to a frugal diet. He punct-
ually followed this advice, perceived
symptoms of convalescence within a
few days from the commencement of
his plan CT reformation, and after the
lapse of twelve months was not only
completely restored, but found himself
in better state of health than he had
ever been during any period of his life.
He resolved, therefore, to confine him
self to a still more parsimonious regi'
men, and to take nothing but what he
judged to be absolutely requisite for his
support.
Thus during sixty years he confined
himself to exactly twelve ounces of fooo
a day (bread and other nourishments in
cluded), with shirteen ounces of bever
age.
