SILVER GOES UP.
Bar Metal Advances to a Price No,
Reached for Several Years.

A cablegram from London says: The sign
ing of the silver bill by President Harrison,
although it was looked upon as a foregone con-
clusion, had very stimulating effect on prices
on the exchange. Bar silver was of course the
first to feel the influence, and rose to so pence
an ounce. a selling price it has not reaches
for several years. The increase in the price of
silver is by no means to be regarded as per-
manent, however. The practical effect of the
new silver law has been pretty thoroughly dis.
cussed, ana the opinion is general that the
present activity in silver bullion will not con-
tinue long and the price will gradually recede

have ruled for the last year.

The Bob Cook Stroke.

"Bob Cooks stroke is the result of
Bob Cooks exhaustive study of man
from his heels to tho crown Of his head, {"
said a member of tho Yale nine. 81
have watched his work with our crew
very carefully. Everybody is familiar
with the success he has achieved, but it
is not generally realized that what is
known as the Bob Cook stroke is not an
accidental discovery by this prince of
athletes, but is the result of years of
painstahng and exhaustive study on the
general subject of the physical possibili-
ties of the human frame in athletics.
The stroke today is masterpiece of ge-
MUS which has solved the problem of
imparting the greatest amount Of force
to the end of long oar by the least pos
sible expenditure of strength. That is
rather sophomore statement, but it
covers the grounds of Bob Cooks life
work. New York World.

In Sleen.

An old resident In Vermont tells the
following story, belonging to his past e4-
penence as country postmaster:
1t happened one spring when the mud
was almost up to the horses knees that
we had no mail for three days. The con-
sequence was that the three days batch,
consisting Of nine bags, came in late one
night as was about going to bed. Ide-
termined to delay distribution until
morning, and fell asleep rather harassed
at the thought Of so large task.
Next day rose early and went into
the Office to open my mail bags. They
wero gone! The corner where always
left them was quito empty, and my heart
began to beat loud and fast. The mail
had been delivered to me, was respon-
sible for it, and 1t was not to be found.
Presently, as I stared about, the big
drops of sweat gathering on my FORE
head, l noticed small packages Of letters
lying in the places where was accus-
toned to leave them before sending them
out into the several districts by the farm
ers who came to town. Hooked further;
the mail was all distributed. Then l
turned to the spot where always threw
tho empty bags after finishing my work.
There they lay, collapsed and empty.
Now you know exactly as much about
this story rs I know myself. It seems
very evident to me that I rose in my
sleep, impressed by the unusual task
before me, and finished 1t mechanically.
I had never been sleep walker before
and never did such q thing again.

The June bug Rampant.

The bug is very useful insect, but
how Objectionable 1t can mako itself on
occasions was shown by all incident
which occurred one night on the Central
railroad of New Jersey. Tho milk train
was carrying two passenger coaches be-
hind tho milk cars, and MS the night
was warm the half dozen passengers
aboard had the windows oil raised.
The train had been standing on side
track few minutes when swarm of
large June bugs, attracted by the car
lights, flew in through tho windows.
In five minutes tho seats wero nearly
covered with the bugs, and they began
to crawl around the legs of tho passen-
gers and to prove otherwise unpleasantly
officious. In five minutes the insects
had possession of tho two cars and the
passengers turned out. Tho problem
which now presented itself was how to
get the pests out of the cars before the
train started. A fire was suggested.
and while the passengers gathered
brushwood and kindled roaring blaze,
one of the brakemen went into the cars
and put tho lights out. Tho ruse was
successful, the bugs deserted the cars
and the passengers went back, shut
down the windows and sat in darkness
until the train started. York Com

Characteristic Of Du,nns.

A very characteristic letter of Alexan-
der Dumas was received by the director
of the Cluny museum, in which the
former announces his intention Of pre-
senting to the museum the sword of the
Marquis dc Pescaire, which has been left
to him by E. de Beaumont. M. Dumas
gives the reason for his hberality as fol-
lows: II had engaged to leave the sword
after my death to the Cluny museum,
but know the collectors, amateurs and
directors of museums In their fondness
for a rarity they go SO far as to wish for
the death Of those to whom it belongs,
especially If they are the heirs. l do not
wish to expose your conscience to pain
full battle, for 1t would be sure to fight,
perhaps successfully, for the possession
of the weapon. l therefore offer you at
once the sword of the vanquisher of Pa
via and the vanquished of Ravenna. And
now, dear sir, as you can no longer see
any reason why I should not live q very
long timo yet, let mo assure you that
while l live shall always be your de-
voted friend. A. DUMAS"

Jokes of Business Men.

A we'll known lawyer and his broker
friend dropped their tickets into the
glass aquarium on the city hall elevated
station, and as the lawyer stopped to
buy the evening papers he jerked down
and pinned to his friends back the large
yellow placard placed under the latest
editions and reading, "Out Today"
"Hello, here, how long have you been
out of Sing sing?" said a friend, slapping
the broker familiarly on the back.
The broker laughed when shown the
card, but insisted on keeping it. The
incident had been forgotten when one
day the broker stuck his head into his
friends Office and said: "Better come
down the Sound fishing today"
Cant possibly do it," answered the
lawyer. "Have made an engagement to
meet some clients here on important
business" Gall right" said his friend.
The lawyer waited in vain for his clients
He heard several people approach the Of
flee, but no one entered, and when he
left the Office he saw hugo yellow pla-
card OH his door reading "Out Today"
Tho smile he tried to give was a failure.

Before the Flag,

In q certain New York mission is a
bright street fellow who, if this incident
may be taken rs an indication, bids fair
to develop the brains and the patriotic
sentiment Of q good American citizen.
A gentleman announced his intention
of delivering On address on political re-
form in the neighborhood of the mission,
particularly disortlerly district. He
and his friends were informed on good
authority that if tho speech were made
the speaker would be pelted with rotten
eggs.
1t seemed that the proposed address,
which, 1t had been believed, would ex-
ert an important influence, must be
given up. A small boy, between whom
and the speaker friendship had devel-
oped at the mission, solved the difficulty
by an ingenious expedient.
II tell you what to do," said he.

platform, and you stand before the flag.

A Transposing Piano,

Concert goers to whose lot itmay have
fallen to listen to a song being delivered
in one key while the accompaniment
was played in another will greet with
satisfaction the introduction of trans
posing piano, by means of which music
can be transposed into any key at will.
The object in view is accomplished by
movable back; l. e., the solid back upon
which the strings are strung, instead of
being rigidly fixed to tho case, as in the
ordinary way, is fitted on rollers, and is
moved laterally with the greatest ease
by means Of lever underneath the key
board at the side of the performer. In
all other respects the construction is the
same as in the ordinary piano. Any de-
sired change of key can be made in two
or three seconds. The movement can
be worked with perfect ease, and the
mechanism is of so simple a character
that Its liability to get out of order is
practically nil.-New York Commercial

She Hold Donc Good Dny's business.
An ancient Irish damc has small
stand close by tho Franklin statue in
Printing house square from which she
offers to passersby the cool and refresh
ing lemonade. If there Is wind any
where it always seems to find funnel
up Spruce street, and Boreas was doing
some Of his best work on his favorite
thoroughfare one day.
A young woman in her best bib and
tucker, with the inevitable young man,
was crossing from the postofflce In the
direction Of the bridge. A particularly
strong puff of wind nearly blow off her
hat, bristling with meadow flowers, and
all her attention was given to keeping it
on her head. The rude breeze, however,
took charge Of her dress, and as 1t blew
around got entangled with the only
three glasses Bridget had on her stand.
They fell on the flags, to be simply
smashed into smithereens.
For q moment there was silence, then
the owner, in pure Hibernian, gave vent
to her feelings, and the language was
not really ladyike. The young man
was, however, equal to the occasion, and
diving into his pocket produced and
gave to Celtic Hebe d dollar bill. The
latter looked at the note for some Sec
onds and then disappeared into that un-
discovered country, SO far as men are
concerned-a woman's pocket.
Jack and Jill had passed on; of this
the vendor Of cool drinks made certain.
She then deliberately took up her bucket
of water, dashed it on tho ground, picked
up her lemons, and folding up her tenn
porary stand made q bee line for home,
She had done good days business

A Mountain Of Salt.

A mass of 9o,ooo,ooo tons of pure,
solid, compact rock salt. located on an
island 1876 feet high, which rises from a
miserable sea marsh on the route from
Brashear to New Iberia, up the river
Teche in Louisiana, is ono Of the won
ders of the world. How this island,
which contains over 800 acres of excel
lent land, ever came into existence in
such a locality is matter of conjecture.
Vegetation is prolific and the scenery is
beautiful and varied. In the center of
this island, which is the only solid spot
in the vast expanse Of sea marsh for
miles around, rises Salt peak, the largest
body of exposed rock salt in the world.
Having never been surveyed, Its exact
extent is as yet unknown. However, En-
gineer Brown, who has visited it, says
that there is not less than 10000, 900
tons of pure crystal salt in sight. The
dazzling clearness of Salt peak forms
striking contrast with somber lagoons,
bayous and salt marshes which surround
it on all sides.-St. Louis Republic.

A mucl, Discussed oue.t,o,

One Of his children had produced a
dinner table sensation by Offering a
grammatical correction of the language
used by the head Of the house to the
effect that the phrase should not be SIT

lenge of the accuracy Of this view
brought out the further statement that
the educational authorities to which
this child owed school room allegiance
had determined that "It is him" and
1T is her" were not permissible express
sions, smacking of vulgarity, but that
"It is me" had become established in
this country by "usage," and was there

Why Franco Is Wealthy.

The aggregated wealth of 10000, 900
poor, degraded, barefooted peasants
makes France rich. The ignorance of the
French farmer is appalling. never saw
a newspaper in French farm village.
Their wants are no more than the wants
of horse. The Frenchman eats the
coarsest food; about the same as he feeds
his horse. He will eat coarse bread and
wine for breakfast; soup, bread and wine
for dinner, aud perhaps bread and milk
for supper; he does not know what coffee
or tea is. The negroes Of the south live
like kings compared to a French farmer.
Still the Frenchman is satisfied, because
he knows no better.
Tho government takes the money of
the poor up to 1000 francs and gives
them 81 per cent. for it's use. The peasant
farmers of France have nearly $500, ,0OO,-
000 on deposit in these savings banks.
These poor, degraded, half fed farmers
keep the French treasury full of money.

A Newsboys' Game.

The newsboys frequenting the City
Hall park at night have invented new
sort of baseball game, which they
play when the sparrow" policemen
are not about. They usually choose the
long, brightly lighted wall in front of
the city hall for the game. and nearly
every night they attract crowd Of Pc
destrians by their play. The difference
between their game and the real game
is that instead Of throwing and batting
ball they place it on tho ground and
the boy whose Inning" it is rushes
along and kicks tho sphere as far as he
can, after which he scampers to base.
The rest of the game is the same rs base
ball, and the little fellows seem to enjoy
it hugely.-New York Star.

to see if it will ever come back" "Let

party. "Gentlemen," he said, "my name
Is Henry Der1nond. Twelve years ago, at

How to Keen oxsters.

There is an ingenious device for keep
ing oysters good In the shell for several
weeks after they have been taken from
the water. Hitherto this has been done
unsatisfactory by boring holes through
the edges Of the shells and locking in the
oysters with bits Of twisted wire. BY
the new scheme the edges of the shells
are dipped into plaster of paris mixed
with certain chemicals that make it
harden quickly. In a few minutes the
oyster is hermetically sealed. and SO
strong is the cement that not even the
most muscular mollusk can manage to
get a breath of fresh air after having
been subjected to this process.-Ex-

The writing to be transmitted is i'm.
pressed on soft paper with an ordinary
stylus. This is mounted on cylinder,
which, as it revolyes, "makes and
breaks" the electric current by means of
the varying indentations on the paper.

chronism with the other, receives the
current on chemically prepared paper,
on which it transcribes the signature in
