Tyranny Of the Kitchen.

"My girls give me notice whenever
take the liberty of absenting myself
from the house for any length Of time"
said young matron. sThe other day
l left Mary Jane with the baby for
three hours; when I came in she was
all ready to give notice, but before
she could speak, I began to find fault
with the dining-room closet; and from
that l went into the hall and scolded
about that, and she was SO surprised
about that she forgot to keep up the
dignity Of her position, I suppose"
"What an idea! I would not stand
it; what do you keep her for?" asked
her companion with the audacity Of in
experience.
ooh, I don't know; I suppose I keep
her to give her place to entertain her
friends and have q little pocket money"
and the young housekeeper settled
back with regretful sigh.
This side of the servant question sup.
ports the statement of Matthew Arnold
that America is the paradise of the
workingman but the purgatory of the
woman who employs servants"

Dealing with Cr.nks.


Eighty per cont. of my patrons are
cranks! was the startling statement of
matchmaker.
The man who fashions things of
beauty and complication out of brass
from mere drawings and inventors pat
terms did not wink his eye when he
made that statement. On the contrary,
he appeared as if the opportunity to
fire shell into the inventors camp had
arrived.
This may appear rather harsh," he
continued, but it is true, nevertheless.
We have all sorts of calls for models.
Some are really sensible, and turn out
to be practicable, but they average only
about three in one hundred"
How do these crank inventors act
when they bring their treasures to the
model shop?"
CAS- have been in the business for
many years, can distinguish q crank
by the way he enters my shop. It gen.
orally takes him three hours to conclude
long harangue about what wonders
his greatest Of all greats will accom-
plish in the world OF machinery.
DO these cranks, as rule, pay up
promptly"
"Yes. Their existence seems to be
wrapped up in the invention, and models
must be made to aid in placing it on
the market, even at the cost of every
stick Of furniture III the homestead"
Glow does genuine crank inventor
act after he gets his models?"
Just like child with novelty. OF
course lie excuses his carefulness and
pride by proluse statements about the
law of supply and demand and the won
derful changes wrought by new in
ventions."
What particular line of inventions
do the cranks favor?"
Machinery and electrical appli-
ances."
"If you discovered, while making
model from an inventors plans, that
slight variation in some particular part
would result in producing q more per-
feet machine, would you claim an in
terest in the invention?"
NO; the inventor is entitled to the
discoveries. 1t would be unproiessional
to work upon his Invention and then
steal the main idea. CURIOUS, isn't it,
how the market in crank productions
tiuctuates. I have known Inventors to
tell me at the time I built their models
that the price of the prodact of their
gray matter was Just exactly $4,000.
Two weeks laterit would 4ss& IS, 600, and
alittle later the disgustelT Naisciple Of
Edison was glad to dis{losA of the
models for old brass"

New Cure for INSANITY.

A strange case of superstition was re.
Gently investigated before the coroner
Of Bombay. India. A Hindoo mill
hand, named Rami Dali, had for some
time been suffering from swollen knee
joints aud pains in various parts of the
body. He went to the mill to get some
wages due him, and on his return was
taken i'll on the road. He was brought
home on the back of friend in an al
most unconscious state, and placed in a
sitting posture, being held up by his
father. A man named Dec, who was
present, suggested that he was pos.
sessed of devil, in order to expel
which Dec swayed himself about in
front of the sick man, seized hold of his
hair, and demanded of the devil who
he was.
| Not receiving reply he struck the
deceased violently with rattan, when
the latter fell back in a dying condi.
ton; but before his death anothe,
friend took the rattan and beat the de.
ceased, both men swaying their bodies
to and fro, and prof ssing to be pos.
sessed with the spirit of a god. The
fiogging was intended to drive out the
devil. Dali died almost immediately
without complaint. The widow mar.
rated all the facts to the coroner and
described both foggings as being very
violent. The medical evidence showed
that there were several bruises on the
back, and an abrasion of the right hip,
but that the cause of death was hem.
orrhage from rupture of the
spleen, which was probably not
due to the fogging. The jury
found a verdict accordingly, adding
that there was no evidence to show how
the spleen became ruptured.

How He Knew That He Had Been In
Europe.

"Perhaps," said business man.
"there are good many of us who be-
lieve that all the world has absolute
confidence in our honesty. But there
are SO many schemes creditors have for
keeping an eye on debtors that the
honest men are watched as carefully as
the dishonest ones. When I went to
Europe last summer owed my tailor
two or three hundred dollars, sup
pose.
when I returned went around to
him to order my fall clothes.
SLOW do You do, Mr.. LIP said
he. How did you enjoy your trip to-
Europe?'
"Now had gone away quietly and
had returned no less quietly. Not o
dozen of my friends knew when started
or when got back.
"'Europe?' I said, What do You
mean 2 and I looked at him banter
ingly:
"'Why,' said he. 4 mean your last
trip. see that you returned only last
week
"sWhere did you see ii? asked.
@He stopped for a moment and looked
embarrassed.
"'Come now said, how did you
know I had gone to Europe or that
had returned?'
@"To tell you the truth, Mr.. IL
he answered, We know about every
movement of those who owe us money.

viii Man Ever Fly:

The giant birds of geology, such as
the da7s0r1ais, the extinct moa of New
Zealand, some OF which stood more
than ten feet nigh, were most OF them
wingless, just as still the great ostrich
is running, not flying, bird. The
albatrosses and condors. giants among
the winged fowl of the present day, are
only relatively gigantic, since the
weights of their bodies are trifing COM
pared with those of human beings and
their lofty flights, even if matched by
the ascending powers of balloons, are
unsuited to the respiratory faculties of
man.
He]mholtz has observed that, though
many small birds which are granivor-
GUS fly swiftly, the great birds that are
potent on the wing are fish and flesh
eaters, not needing extensive organs of
digestion for their concentrated food.
He thinks it therefore probable that in
the model of the great Alpine eagle
nature has attained the utmost limit
that can lie attained, with muscles for
the working organs and conditions Of
nourishment rs favorable as possible
for the size of q creature which is to
raise itself by wings and maintain itself
for any time high in the air.
Under these circumstances he con-
cludes that it is scarcely to be consid-
cred probable that man. with the most
skillfully contrived mechanism, to be
moved by his own muscular power,
would ever be able to raise his own
weight into the air and sustain it there
for any time worth speaking of. When
vessels filled with gas lighter than air
are employed to supply. the lifting
power, and yet other vessels are en-
ployed with some storage force to take
the place of our own muscular re-
sources, the consequential increase of
bulk and weight in the complex ma
chine must indeed greatly discourage
human aspirations and longings for the
invention Of artificial wings.
The desire involved, however little it
may be formulated, in those aspirations.
is for the capacity to cleave the air like
a merlin or to skim over the waters like
a swift, and for ability to do this or
something like it freely on the impulse
of the moment, not after consultation
with the gas works and fee to the
electrical engineer. Edinburgh
