Tho Smallest Book.

The London Pail Mall Gazette thinks
that the smallest book In the world Is a
volume now in the Stafford Royal Borough
library and museum. 1t says; "The
work in question--which differs from
the rest in the essential point that while,
like them, de jure book, it is also de
facto ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of one hum
dred leaves Of tho finest rice paper, octa-
gonal In shape, and measuring from side
to side one-half inch, stitched together
and covered in silk. Nothing can ex-
coed the lightness, delicacy and softness
Of tho material, or the neatness of the
penmanship. This dainty little morsel
Of caligraphy, which at the first glance
precisely resembles, in its glass prison, a
very tiny butterfly of some uncommon
kind, Is very probably unique in the
western world. How it escaped immi-
nent destruction is not the least wonder
full feature Of its history, for it was looted
at Ghanzi in India, by private soldier
during the mutiny, but it has been safe
in tho possession of the Stafford library
for many years. The work has not been
translated, but Is officially defined, on
the authority of an Indian scholar, to be
an example Of the 'Kathas, or Sacred
Recitations of (the) Mahrattas Brah-
MANS and it Is written, without blot or
alteration, in the Mahrattas character,
in glossy black ink, with brilliant mar
gin of vermilion to every page, which is
also numbered. Possibly the acme of
biblical minuteness is reached In this
beautiful little work of art, which, for
tho present, at any rate, may claim to be
the smallest book, as well as the least
collective manuscript in the world.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1890-01-08

Some genius discovered that when
men reach the theatre and remove their
topcoats their neckties do not present
that geometrical nicely of position that
oil well regulated neckties ought. Even
II the wearer be conscious-which Is sell
dom-that his tie Is not Us it should be,
1t is awkward to pose before the mirror,
IL there be one, and get red In the face
in fruitless struggle TO rearrange the
BIASED tie. Tho genius aforesaid has
got ON to all this. Being genius, to
capture an idea was to act upon 1t.
He sought and obtained position as
usher in one of the theatres. Then he
began business. The first man whose
neclstie looked as IL 1t were in search OF
his occipital bone, and who looked
healthy enough not to be startled by the
strangeness of the request, was APP
preached.
cite your necktie, sir?"
"What?'
"Tie your necktie, sir? 1t has become
disarranged."
"Has it? Well, go ahead"
The tie was neatly adjusted, quarter
dropped in the hand of the tyer, and
this began what Is now quite remune-
rative addition to the theatre usher's du-
ties.
OF coursethe genius had imitators All
geniuses have.
You can have your necktie perpendic-
ularly adjusted now not only at tho
theatres, but at balls and large recep-
tions. The pay Is optional, and runs
from nickel to dollar, according to
the generosity of the customer or the
size of his wad.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

His Fried Chicken.

1t is q startling statement, and yet tits
said to be true, that an important crisis
| in tho American Revolution was passed
in safety by the help of a dish of fried
chickenl The tradition is kept in the
Walker family in Virginia.
In 1881 the Virginia legislature adj
journed from Richmond to Charlottes-
vile. The British Gen. Tarleton started
to capture 1t with large force Of cavalry
and infantry. He stopped for BREAKFAST
at the plantation of DR.. Joseph Walker,
distant twenty miles from Charlottes-
vile. Rations were distributed among
the men, and the cook made haste to
prepare real Virginia breakfast for the
general and his staff.
Meantime O messenger from the Will
age rode on in hot haste to warn the
legislature and Thomas Jefferson, then
governor of Virginia, who was at his
home at Monticello, outside OF Charlottes-
vile.
Twice the cook prepared delicious
dish Of fried chicken and cream gravy.
and twice, when her back was turned,
some of the hungry British soldiers
dashed into the kitchen and carried it
off. Tarleton was also hungry, and
enraged at the delay, which the host ex-
planned, and told the general that what
there was of the meal could be served at
once IL he desired it. But If he wished
to have chicken he Unjust set corporals
guard to protect the cook"
Tarleton was glutton. He hesitated
moment, and said, ~ will wait for the
chicken. Adjutant, set a guard over
those rascally thievesr'
The guard was set, the chickens were
cooked and eaten. Bat tho delay en-
abled the messenger to reach Charlottes-
vile and give the alarm. Mr.. Jefferson
and the Legislature escaped from the
town before Tarleton with his troops
entered 1t. Their capture would have
been stunning blow to the fortunes Of
the young republic. = Youths Com

Mrs. Lanrtry,4 silver Bath Tub.

A curious story Is told as to the origin
of Mrs. Langtry'a silver bath. Bath
makers believe that there Is only one
,,,,ys. ~ MTG wei .sss's
ao,ne years are far ~ Indian nriuco by
London bathmaker, and no supposes
that, the owner having died, the silver
bath came into thE market and was
bought by Mrs. Langtry. A silver bath
lisa tremendous affair. Some few wealthy
people have copper baths plated with
silver, but the cost is but trifie COM
pared with the genuine article. Some
wealthy people who go in for luxurious
bathing fill their bathrooms with statu-
airy, have painted tile walls, and the bath
Is fitted into case OF carved oak. Then
there are marble baths. They are both
cold and costly.
The most novel thing in baths, how
ever, is ono fitted with a shower bath
overhead, needle spray bath at thesides
and wavo bath that rushes out at the
foot. Theses are in addition to the ordinary
hot and cold taps. So that possessor Of
one Of heseingenious things can have five
styles of bathing. They cost about $i25.
There are have dozen or more differ
ent sorts of towels for bathing. After
the ordinary Turkish and huckaback
towels some doctors are fond Of recon-
mending towel of rushes, made appro-
priately enough by Russian peasants. 1t
Is hard and stiff and feels like q coarse
dishcloth. Itsuse is confined to bathroom
fanatics who think they are happy in
abraiding their skins. Then there is an
elastic towel made Of net, and another
skin raiser called loofah. This is inn
ported from Egypt. Tho loofah is made
of dried grass and it doesn't soften by i'm
mersion In water.-Kansas City Times.

Performed saws.

Perforated blades Tor band and circu-
lar saws are just now attracting attention
in Germany, and are apparently giving
general satisfaction. Blades of this
character are not entire novelties, but
have been known In modified forms for
some years, says The American Machin-
list. AS general thing, however, their
use has been much decried. Still they
appear to have some advantages worth
considering, and many claims Of superb
GRITTY are made for them. Among them
Is that of reduced blade friction, due to
reduced area Of rubbing surface; less
tendency to heat, because ofithe circula-
ton of airthrough the holes, and econo-
my In power. The holes further prevent
the dangerous extension Of cracks in saw
blades, and in general make 1t com
paratively easy matter to keep the saws
In good running order.-New York Tele-
gram.
