were first put upon the sleeves Of sol
diers in the British army. Prior to the
buttoned sleeves soldiers had the filthy
habit Of drawing their sleeves across
their mouths and noses upon every
occasion when a pocket handkerchief
or a napkin could have been used to a
better advantage. As a matter of
course the cuff became shiny and de-
faced.
Punishment and reprimand were
tried, but they failed to check the
habit. As a last resort n board Of off.

WHAT TWO OFFICE BOYS DID.
Awful Result al That Curiosity which
Marks the Average New Yorker.

Awful Result al That Curiosity which
Marks the Average. New Yorker.
Two Office boys at III Nassau street
were left alone at luncheon time and in
sole possession of the fourth floor front
room. They took advantage of this
freedom from restraint by fitting up a
doll with "A pair of black trousers, a
white shirt and a black peaked hood
over its china head. They tied its feet
together and bound It's arms behind its
back. Then they slipped a moose al
the end of n long string yer its neck
and threw it out over an electric wire
so that the doll hung dangling about
twenty feet above the level of the
street.
The first man who passed was ontop
of a high seated wagon, and he slowed
up his horses to look at the effigy hang
ing over his head. This caused a pas.
serby to follow the direction Of the
drivers eyes and to stop altogether.
The man Immediately behind him and
a boy coming toward him had to halt
at this. and seeing that the man was
looking up stared, too.
Three men standing still on narrow
Nassau street are enough to attract tn,
attention of a dozen Others. The dozen
stopped, then another dozen lined up
on the other side of the street. No one
said anything to any one else. but each
stared up in the air ut the doll.
A nan on an express wagon saw the
crowd looking up and pulled up his
horse and approached the doll eau.
tiously He evidently thought there
"a some sort of trick about it. and
that the crowd was waiting there to
laugh at him. So he stopped. The
driver of a cab coming in the opposite
direction, seeing this. stopped too.
This blocked the wagons and drays in
the rear. and the drivers shouted ut
the expreSsInan and the cabman to go
ahead. When they tried to do so they
found the delay had caused a block be
hind them, and they could not pass un-
less all the wagons in the rear backed.
The first wagon could not back because
a heavy truck had turned in from the
side street ard cut Off its retreat.
Then a boy on a delivery wagon
slipped in beside the cab and locked
wheels. The cabman swore and the
boy tried to back. and found a long
double array Of heavy trucks and drays
barring his way. 1t was the same on
the other side. The crowd on the side.
walk increased. until the men and boys
coming back TO their offices from work
filed each sidewalk and climbed up on
the steps. S~hopkeepers came TO their
doors, and their customers with them.
a policeman pushed his way into the
crowd and pulled and tugged at the
horses heads, while the drivers swore
or sat silent and patiently observant.
1t was fifteen minutes before the street
was clear. In the meanwhile the boys
had pulled in the doll and finished eat.

A New Gas Meter.

4 q gas meter is being made in
considerable numbers in Manchester,
England. by its aid a pennyworth of
gas a be obtained by the consumer.
The penny is dropped into a slot and
pushed home by a piston or pusher.
after which it drops into a locked
drawer or receptacle, While the penny
l. being pushed through it releases a
star wheel which is operated by fingers
or pawls fixed upon the drum. At the
same time II conicaL valve by which the
admission of gas is controlled is raised
to Il certain height. The revolution Of
the drum moves this valve down at n
speed proportionate to that Of the
passing gas. and by tils time the guam
tity which can be sid for n penny is
delivered the valve closes, shutting of
the supply.
As soon as the gas is supplied the me.
ter drum Is again locked by the deten.
ton of the star wheel. II while a pen.
nyworth Of gas is being consumed the
pusher is raised to repeat the action
without "A coin no additional supply
al be got. and the introduction Of
another penny insures the valve being
opened as much further as is necessary
to supply that valve of gas, although
the remainder Of the first portion re.
mains TO be delivered. The mechanism
is well designed to prevent any fraudu.
lent use being made of it, and is very
simple and easily adapted to various re.
quirements. New Orleans Picayune.

Harper,s for December.

Harper's Magazine for December is a superb
Christmas number. The cover is printed in
gold, and while preserving the well-known IA
milar appearance of the magazine, is en-
riched by illustrations highly suggestive
of the Christmas season. These consist
of a deer, turkey, roast pig, &C., while one
of the well-remembered figures at the top of the
page is made to do duty as cook. The con-
tents are no less attractive than the cover.
Charles Dudley Warner gives another article on
Southern California, which he pictures in
manner so attractive as to make any one wish
he were there. The fiction is appropriate to
the holiday season. 1t includes ga Christmas
Present." by Paul Heyse "Flute and VIOLIN"
a story of Old Kentucky, by James Lane Allen !;
''P'laskfs Tunaments," by Thomas Nelson
Page, and "Mr. Gibble Colts Duck" an anus
ing Georgia story, BY Col. Richard Malcolm
Johnston. These and other articles, with q
wealth of Illustration, exceeding, perhaps, those
OF any previous number, make upa magazine
of unusual interest.
