Perforated Saws.

Perforated blades for 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
ority are made for them. Among them
is that of reduced blade friction, due to
reduced area of rubbing surface, less
tendency to heat, because of the circula-
ton of air through the holes, and econo-
my in power The holes further prevent
the dangerous extension of cracks in saw
blades, and in general make it com
paratively easy matter to keep the saws
in good running order.-New York Tele-
gram.

A SILLY PROPOSITION.
An English Marriage Strikes a
Wrong Lead.


The suggestion of a marriage reformer
in England that the manageable age OF
both sexes be restricted to twenty-five
years or less has created sensation and
has started discussion that bids fair to
rival the contention over Mrs. Mona
Cards question, ''Ismarriage failureP"
1t should be stated that the proposition
is made in good faith, and also that its
author is married m9n himself.
Just why this reformer advances
theory which he must have known be-
forehand was sure TO be condemned on
all sides does not appear. Perhaps he is
seeking notorietY, or possibly thinks,
like many other apostles Of reform, that
he has found truth and is willing to
SOW seed amidst difficulties which shall
bear fruit generations to come, when his
present appellation of crank will be
changed to that of martyr.
But the discussion is going on in En-
gland with great earnestness, if that
be called discussion which is argued
on one side only. 1t is quite interesting
to see how the nation rises in arms
against any restrictions being placed
upon marriage. Bachelors hopelessly
welded to celibacy denounce the plan
with the ardor Of a youth about to lead
his bride to the altar. They don't want
to get married, would die OF apoplexy at
such prospect, but like true Britons
they decline to give up any liberty, even
II it is useless to them.
The fair sex, of course, is Justly excl
ted over the proposal, and those whose
chances Of entering the married state
are least are loudest in denouncing it.
One might suppose that the sex which
suffers most from ill-assorted marriages
might look with some favor on scheme
devised to lessen the evils arising out
of the matrimonial state, but this is not
the case. The only change that they
want is that the deceased wife's sister
bill become law.
There is no likelihood of any such
restrictive legislation being passed. The
marriage reformer has struck the wrong
lead. A law requiring every one to be
married before attaining twenty-five
years would be much more popular.
Human experience has shown that al.
legislation Of this kind has been at
tended with the worst possible results.
Marriage, the most important step oi
every persons life, is beyond Legislative
control, and although the world can fur
nish many examples Of ill-assorted mar
riages, it can point with great satisfac'

IN European high life; among them
King Louis III. of Bavaria naturally
takes the first place. Duke Theodore
OF Bavaria, who has recently performed
his thousandth successful operation as
an oculist, is mentioned as the one
member Of the Bavarian house whose
eccentricity is of a useful and laudable
kind. His two august sisters, the EN-
press Of Austria and the Queen OF
Naples, have also many traits in their
character which mark them at once as
belonging to the eccentric Bavariap race.
In the Hohenzollern this particular
ism" has, ever since Frederick William
!. and Frederick the Great, shown itself
in brutal and cynical TAFT. An excep-
tion to this rule is Prince Frederick, the
owner Of the charming Castle OF Rhen-
stein, on the banks of the Rhine, who
often shows visitors over his beautiful
residence and explains the treasures Of
his museum of antiquities.
But the best and most frequent speci-
mems Of an eccentric nation hail from
the land of John Bull. Among them is
mentioned Mr.. Cecil S. (the Figaro
warily suppresses the surname), who,
for rnany years, made Paris ring with
stories Of his wild doings. Finally gout
attacked him, and he was doomed to
perpetual confinement at home. The
ballet having always been specially pat
ronized by him, Mr.. S. started a ballet
in his own four walls, where he kept an
entire stage with all that belongs to it,
including costumes of every possible
variety. Five or six spectators we're in
vited to the choreographic spectacles,
the artists in which were paid vita more
than princely liberality. Although Mr..
S. could never set foot outside his
house he always retained his ten horses
and four carriages, which were regularly
driven about in the Bois and on the
boulevards, somewhat like the empty
carriages seen behind hearse.
Russia, too, has always had her eccen-
trio representatives at Paris, but has
now accepted the social law of France,
according to which, among the inhab-
itants Of the most evolutionary country
in Europe, it is considered extremely
ill-bred to show any eccentricity. The
last Russian of the old school who made
Paris the scene of his exploits was M.
Dimitri D., whose fame was chiefly ac.
quired by his marvellous capacity for
drinking champagne. In gratitude to
the bottles out of which had come the
chief enjoyment of his life, he collected
the lead papers with which TIE cofks OF
champagne bottles are covered, and out
of those which he and his friends had
consumed lead coffin was made in
which the Russian was carried to his
grave.-Pall Mall Gazette.

If there be one. and get red in the face
in fruitless struggle to rearrange the

got on to all this. Being a genius, to
capture an idea was to act upon it.
He sought and obtained position as
usher in one of the theatres. Then he
began business. The first man whose
necktie looked as if it were in search of
his occipital bone, and who looked
healthy enough not to be startled by the
strangeness of the request, was ap-
preached.
"Tie your necktie, sir?"
"What?"
"Tie your necktie, sir? It 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.

geniuses have.
You can have your necktie perpendic-

tions. The pay is optional, and runs

the generosity Of the customer or the
size of his wad. Philadelphia Inquirer.

VENTILATION IN WINTER.
The IcelandIo Plan Used by Some Amer
lean HOusekeepers.

Some house-mothers complain of a
large increase of headache as soon as
the house is shut up and the fires lighted
for winter One reason is that they
pursue the Icelandic plan of ventilation.
A gentleman spending night in an
Icelandic house, slept in room with
number of Icelanders. During the night
he awoke up almLst suffocated for a
breath of air. He awakened his host
and asked if some air could not be OBJ
tanned. The man reluctantly arose, and
going to a keyhole in the side of the
house, pulled out a cork and held 1t in his
hand minute or two, then with shiver,
he put it back and pounded it down, say
ing they should "all freeze to death,
and returned to his pillow.
A warm house is an excellent thing in
winte So are warm sleeping rooms,
despite the old prejudice some still hold
against them. There is nothing health
giving in children shivering half the
night in cold beds trying to get warm.
Many delicate little one has gone to
its grave by such hardening process.
No doubt one great cause for the in
creased longevity Of the race in our land,
is because of the warmer houses in win
ter. My children have slept in we'll
warmed rooms all their lives, and are
never under the doctors care; often for
half dozen years at time never have
to consult one, an uncommon thing
among village children of my acquaint-
ance. Depend upon it there is a fallacy
in this theQSX Of roughening children,
and hardeny their constitutions by ex-
posure to cold. DR. William Hall says
he ''would as soon think of improving
new hat by banking it around" The
only way to harden che constitution is
by taking good care Of it.
Well-warmed sleeping rooms in win
ter are a blessing, indeed, and stove in
an upper hall can often secure this. But
the rooms should also pe well aired some
time during the day, and all the blessed
sunshine Of the short winter day let ip

Two incidents which Furnish Considerable
xaa Food for Thought.

Two Incfdeuts which FURNISH ConslueraDio
xaa Food for Thought
A few days ago party of some five or
six school-boys, on their way home,
stopped in front OF the home Of one OF
their number. The conversation went
from one study to another until it
reached the subject of algebra; here it
stopped; one Of the boys declared himself
unable to perform difficult problem in
quadratics which had been assigned to
him. His companions tried to help him,
but after all hands had failed 1t was
given up as bad job.
An old and besotted-looking individual
who was shoveling coal few doors
away had been watching the boys for
some time with look of amusement on
his grimy face. After each one had tried
and failed, he slowly laid down his
shovel, picked up a piece Of coal, and,
walking quietly up to the boys, request
ed permission to look at the problem.
After a good deal of laughing it was
shown to him, and without saying a
word he quietly set to work, and in a
few moments had correctly completed
the example, writing it out on the pave
ment with the bit of coal. The boys
looked on in wonderment, and could
hardly believe their eyes, but were not
slow to take advantage of the state of
affairs, and in few moments the work
on the sidewalk had been transferred to
paper.
The coal HEAVIER in the meantime had
resumed his work, which was soon COM
pleted, and the last seen of him he was
disappearingin the sidedoor of saloon.

men and one woman were seated in the

Of the tables sat tramp half asleep. His
arm was curled up, forming support
for his shaggy head, which was covered
With a tattered slouch hat OF ancient
manufacture. Suddenly, through the
half open door, there came the sound of
music; the loungers stopped drinking for
a moment. but almost Immediately re-
sumed their occupation. Nobody noticed
the tramp. At the first sound he had
raised his head from the table, and his
eyes seemed glued to the door through
which the music lme. AS it proceeded
he arose and tottered toward it, but just
as he entered the room the music
stopped. All eyes turned on the tramp,
who was making straight for the piano,
which he reached moment later.
Lightly running his dirty fingers over
the keys, suddenly he began to play
Mendelssohn's wedding March," For
nearly half an hour the tramp sat thus,
playing nothing but the choicest clas-
sical music, with touch and execution
that was itself marvel. The listeners
sat astonished and in silence that was
not broken until the tramp, rising from
the piano. took his hat, and, going
through the bar-room to the door, dis
appeared down the muddy road.-N. Y.

Evolution in Indian Drsss-A Funny Story
Of Chief Bushyhead.
Indians who visit Washington almost
invariably come to have their pictures
taken" said the photographer who gets
most of this copper colored patronage to
reporter. Hanging over there on the
wall you may see a rather interesting
series of portraits illustrating the evolu-
ton of the red man in the matter Of
habiliments from his primitive condition
70 the likeness Of the newest London
fashion plate The first picture, as you
observe, represents him in aboriginal
toys complete. In the next he has on
pair of pantaloons-always the first white
mans garment adopted by the Indian.
He wears the trousers with his ordinary
tribe costume in other particulars, in
Guiding beads, feathers, etc., until, as is
shown in the third photograph, il occurs
to him to add waistcoat and billed
shirt. The feathers and beads disappear
at this stage, and Mr.. Lo goes about in
his shirt sleeves feeling very enlightened
for some time before the coat is put on.
Then, as you see in the fourth picture,
collar and cuffs and silk hat are assumed,
and Mr.. Lo sprouts out very likely into
regular bowling swell on the Piccadilly
