A railroad ticket to Trenton was the
means of stirring up quite an excite
Inent in Baltimore. The wner-
man named West-for safe keeping,
put it in his hat, and both hat and
ticket were blown into Jones falls.
''One dollar rewardl One dollar re-
wardI' shouted West, and in an in
slant dozens of cab drivers, newsboys
and b~ootblacks scampered down the
falls and followed the ticket until it
lodged against the high wall just be-
meath the st. Paul brids Mr.. West
commanded the party, aud with his
cane pointed TO where the ticket was
lodged, on the opposite side of the
stream.
There was about twenty feet of
water, of uncertain depth, separating
the men from the little strip of paper,
and cab drivers and bootblacks began
at once to remove their boots and roll
up their trousers TO wade across. The
current is rather swift at this point.
One little fellow, about 10 years Of age,
plunged in with his clothes, shoes and
even hat on. He had gotten half way
across when the current rolled him
over and over in the muddy water, and
the crowd howled. He got out all
right. Finally the ticket started again
to sail down the stream, and a cabman
managed to draw it ashore with his
whip. Mr.. West paid the dollar, had
just three minutes time to catch the
train, and was given Il rousing cheer by
the crowd as he rode away to Trenton
with a ticket considerably worse for
wear, but still good for one first class
fare. -Philadelphia Ledger.

LudIcrous Experience of a Stock Theatre
cal Company In the SorthwesL

LuuitNpha LAPNNAtutS u "
cal Company In the Northwest
Charles Arnold used to belong TO a
stock company up in Montreal some
years ago, and during the summer
months the members of this company
would make commonwealth trips
through the far Northwest on their
own hook. 1t waga good company, too,
including such well known actors and
actresses as Mark Smith, f A Mo
Dowell, j. II. Gilmour, Fannie Reeves,
Annie Russell, Felix Morris and Ar
mold. They used To go to Winnipeg
and play several weeks TO fine bust
ness, and one summer the manager
was approached by the mayor OF n
small town about sixty miles from
Winnipeg. He said they had never
seen a show there and would turn out
well. There was no hall or theatre,
but they could play in a bonded ware
house in the town. Finally, after the
mayor OF the place had virtually offer
ed the company a guarantee for two
nights, they decided to accept.
When the place was reached it was
found TO be but a mere village of less
than 1000 inhabitants. The bonded
warehouse had been fitted up as a
temporary theatre, and n stage had
been erected at one end. A dollar a
head was charged for the reserved
seats, and they were soon occupied.
Many were looking in at the windows,
and Arnold went outside before the
show and collected a half dollar each
from these. 1t was willingly paid.
Every one came on horseback, and the
prairie round about looked like a
horse sale. But there was good big
money in the house the first night,
and ''Rosedale" by the company ap-
peared TO give wonderful satisfaction.
On the second night the house was
larger, if anything, and after the first
act the mayor asked the company to
stay another night. They were obliged
to leave for Montreal the next day and
could not. The mayor urged them to
remain, and finally Arnold said that
they would give a performance of
''Pinafore" after they had finished
THE Shaughraun," If the audience
would stay. This announcement he
made before the curtain at the mayors
request, explaining that they could
not stay another night. There were
cries of "Go on, " play all night, > etc.
1t was arranged that the gentlemen
should leave the place after the first
performance, giving the ladies enough
to pay their second admission. After
this had been collected the gentlemen
would be readmitted, paying for them
selves as they came in. At 10 AS p. IN.
The Shaughraun" was finished, and
at IL p. M. the curtain went up on
'Pinafore," with a melodeon as an or
chestra. The house was but 81 less
than the first one, two men having
been called away. AT l 80 a. m. the
final curtain fell and the company
packed up and left for Montreal at
daybreak. 1t was transforming, said
Arnold, but it was profitable and there
was lots of fun in it.-Chicago Herald.

Among recent Investigations which
go to encourage believers in future
flying machines are those PROV
ing that greatly exaggerated ideas
Of the force exerted by birds have
been held, and that large birds
have wings proportionately much
smaller than those Of small flying
creatures. Certain insects ilutter enor
mously large wings at the rate of 200
or 800 vibrations per second, while
the pelican flaps it relatively insigniti
cant area of wing surface only once
per second. The vulture is 100 times
as large as the swallow, but its wings
are only Is times as large; and the
Australian crane weighs 5000, 900
times as much as the gnat, while the
latter has $50 times as much wing sur
face per unit of weight.
The eagle in full flight, instead Of
using 10 horse power as was formerly
computed, exerts only "A fraction Of
/ horse power. A pigeon flying 200
feet per minute (uearly 25 miles per
hour exerts 1-2OOth Of a horse power
per pound, equal to 913 horse power
for a flying machine weighing 1 ton
at % miles an hour, or 80 horse power
per ton weight at so miles an hour.
That mechanical science will be equal
to adjusting these figures to the re
quirements of air travelling, declares
DIR. Andrew Wilson, seems only a
reasonable deduction from facts rs they
stand.

Another Connecticut lady is preparing
for admission to the bar-Mrs. Annie s.
Jewell, Of New Hartford, who is pursu-
ing hel studies with the advantage of
daily association with legal matters in
the office of her husband, Probate Judge
Frederick A. Jewell. With the single
exception of Miss Hall she is the only
lady in Connecticut who is n commits
sioner of the superior court. Her ap-
pointment dates Oct. 2, 1899, and was
made by Judge John NJ. Hall on motion
Of LAWYER S. A. Herman, of Litchfield.
1t was also desired by her husband, as it
qualified her for official acts in his office
during his absence, such as administer
ing oaths to persons filing papers.
Mrs. Jewell has virtually been the
clerk Of the probate court for a long
time. and has dom all the recording, hut
fearing that a question might be raised
as to the legality of appointing a woman
as clerk Of the court no actual appoint
ment has been made. However, size per
forms all the duties of the clerkship ex-
cept signing her name. Her office duties
require about half her time, and the re-
mainder she devotes to legal studies at
her residence. She has been studying in
this way for the last tive years, and
after two years more will apply for adj
mission to the bar of Litchiield county.
Already she IS frequently consulted in
legal matters by ladies who prefer to I'M
fold their grievances to n Of their own

Of very pleasing manners and highly in

THE lozenge maker dies, but the
lozengp never" said Robert II. Moses,
a wealthy ex.merchant
Years ago he continued, all loz-
enges were made by hand. The dough
or paste was rolled out as a pastry cook
rolls out his work, and then stamped
by hand into the circles, hearts and
diamonds so dear to the juvenile eye.
In those days there were many lOz-
enge makers. But into the trade, as
into every other industry, the inventor
found his way, and in a few years
made so many labor saving machines
as to drive the woTkmen into their
trades. Today lozenge making is sim
plicity itself. The ingredients are
thrown into a large trough, and a
kneading machine converts them
into a fine dough. This is put into
the lozenge machine in quantities OF
fifty to a hundred pounds at n time.
Tie machine rolls it into fine sheets,
cuts it into any possible pattern, re-
wolves the dough between the shapes,
embosses the lozenges, prints mono
grams, initials or names upon them,
or writes such pleasant sentences as i
love you Yes. darling Come off,
please, and then moves them off to
drying boaIds and rings The bell to
announce when each board is covered.
They are dried in huge crates, and
then cleaned, polished and barreled or
boxed by a third machine. The en-
tire cost OF manufacture is so slight
when these machines are employed
that it is possible to turn out finished
lozenges at a fraction over the cost of
the sugar. Under such conditions it is
impossible for hand labor to compete. :"

tricts of France, in 1866, and at Paris

the perfect counterpart of that of a
frog, and thick skin, cold aud clammy,
covered with numerous welts and
blotches. His great frog like face,
eyes five inches apart, and enormous
mouth were n hideous sight to behold
He attracted a good deal of attention
from the Academy of Medicine, Paris,

were deputized to make him an objec'
of study. During the four years fol

breathe only Through Your Nose.

A Dutch physician has recently de-
clared that a close connection exists
between the exercise of our mental
faculties and disorders of the nose.
The opinion is expressed that if it were
generally known how many cases of
chronic headache, of inability to learn
or to perform mental work, were due
10 chronic disease of the nose, many
of these cases would be easily cured,
and the number of child victims of
the SO called over pressure in educa-
ton would be notably reduced. Ac-
cording to the above mentioned au-
thority it would seem that breathing
through the nose is absolutely indis-
pensable in order to secure the full

a farmer in Cheshire had a flock of
geese, one of which showed a great
partially toward him. Whenever he
went to the mill, TO the blacksmith's
shop or through the bustling streets,
the bird stalked after him, so that
when he wished to go out alone he
was obliged to fasten the bird up.
When the farmer was at the pillow the
COOS did not walk with the waddling
pace of his tribe, but with n firm step,
with his head raised and his neck
erect, n short way before his master in
the line of the furrow, frequently
turning round to look at him. When
allowed. lie would mount on his lap
as he sat by the fire after dark and
nestle his head on his bosom. When
the farmer went out shooting the
goose was at his side, following him
wherever he went, getting over the
fences, as the master said, better than
he could. All this was without any
encouragement on the part of the far
mer, who rather opposed it. Won
derful as this attachment was ii had a
very sad end; the man could not un-
derstand it, lie thought it foreboded
some evil to him, and in a moment of
alarm he killed this faithful compan-
ion. New York Mail and Express.

A CURIOUS
A Great Aunt's Very Peculiar Request to
Der Female descendants


In general heirlooms and requests
are curiously intermiXed with the
comic and the tragic. l heard of an
estimable family who at one time re
ioiced in the possession of a relative
who was sick as well as eccentric. She
was Preat-great grand aunt, or some
thing of that sort. In her youth, n
even old age, she was gifted with re
markable beauty Of form. While she
left this family the bulk of her for
tune she also left them a singular be
ouest, which involved a simple pair OF
black silk stockings and $1,000. The
terms accompanying this bequest were
as follows: The stockings were to re
main in the family to be transmitted
from generation to generation until
some female member of the family
could fiji them without a wrinkle be
ing apparent .,
In such a case the young lady should
receive the 81, 900 and all interest &C
cruing thereon since the day of deposit
in the bank. A queer bequest, truly!
But while time has sped on, and that
original 81, coo has grown TO almost ten
times that amount, themoney has never
been claimed. Whyi Well, ] was given
an opportunity one day to notice the
articles Of agreement to which a small
fortune is attached. At first sight they
do not differ in appearance from the
very ones l have on at this moment
/ thought l would try them on and
see wherein lay the difficulty. | did
1t would have taken a few quarts Of
sawdust to fill up the surplus waste.
The actual measurement OF the middle
part Of that stocking was sixteeninches.
Hence the discrepancy. None of the
aforesaid family are troubled with un-
due leanness. Yet not one of its mem
bers has been able to come within two
inches of the prescribed requirements.
Idon't know whether this bequest re,
fleets credit on the old lady and dis
credit on our girls or not, but | do
think the terms arc rather exacting.-
