TIE Game Needed Editing.

Three newspaper men were playing al
legged billiards in the spacious billiard
room of the Palmer House the other after
noon, while two fellow workers in the
business looked on and made remarks
about the game. The game could not
stand many remarks. 1t was weak and
hating When, after many efforts and
sundry wild dabs with the cue, one of the
trio would count, the quintet would in
dulge in wild hilarity. But this did not
happen often.
The buttons were becoming fastened on
the wire by rust The play was bad.
Shots were made with the best intentions
in the world, but somehow the balls al
ways rolled too far to one side or the other.
Finally, after period of futile shots, one
of the onlookers said
"You fellows ought to get some one to
read copy on that game you're playing"
How is that?" asked the player who
had missed last.
Because there's so much bad English in
it"-Chicago Herald.

A Thin Opening for Light.

Experiments made in Hartford show
that light can be seen through a clean cut
opening of not more than one forty-thou
sandth of an inch This fact was deter
mined by taking two thoroughly clean
straight edges, placing piece of paper be.
tween the surfaces at one end, the opposite
end being allowed to come together The
straight edges being placed between the
eye and a strong light in a dark room, g
wedge of light was perceived from the ends
between which the paper was placed and
the opposite, which were brought together.
The thickness of the paper being known,
the distance apart of the two edges Of the
small end of the wedge of light was easily
calculated, and the result was shown as
above.-Exchange

Seasoning Timber.

Oak timber loses about oue-ffth of its
weight in seasoning and about one-third
of its weight in becoming dry. radual
drying and seasoning are conside the
most favorable TO the durabii and
strength of timber Kiln drying is par
ticularly serviceable for boards and pieces
of small dimensions. and unless performed
slowly is apt TO cause cracks and impair
the strength of the wood If timber of
large dimensions be immersed in water for
some weeks it is improved, and is less liza
bic to warp and crack in seasoning.-Phila-

There are in Illinois many extinct lakes,
which can easily be transformed into sheets
OF water by the simplest means. All the
enormous Lake Plain" as it is known to
biologists, comprising Wisconsin, Mime

Is dotted with countless sheets of water,

A good dinner table trick is to make an
egg force its way into an ordinary decan-
ter. The other accessories are some paper
and medium hard boiled egg with the
she'll taken of. Drop the paper lighted into
the bottls and get the interior well heated.
This expands the air within and forces part
of it out. While the interior is still hot
stand the egg up on end in the neck of the
bottle and let it rest there. AS the bottle
cools of the egg will begin to force its way
in, until 1t finally drops.-St. Louis Post

SONG.

The dcft musicians fingers,
Lol they lie crossed and numb.
And the soul of the violin is dead
And the magic strings are dumb.
Closed is the old piano,
And chordless its amber keys,
As the vanished tidal murmurs
OF prehistoric seas.
The singers voice is silent
That once was sweet and strong;
They faded out like a wild birds note
The singer and his song.
The maestro's touch dies with him;
lis gone for good or Ill,
And the singers lips no echoes leave
To hnger with US still.
And only the runes of nature
Abide with US for long.
And only the wind and ripples
Sing the eternal song.

prenarinr for Trouble.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 1.-Two important
announcements confirm as true the rumor
that General Herbert, new commander-in-
chief of the Canadian militia, brought in
structions from the English war office to
speedily strengthen the defenses OF Canada
and prepare for the necessity OF putting
large force in the field.
First, is his request to the govern
ment to double the usual appro-
priations this year for drill 80 that the en-
tire force of $4,000 men can be thoroughly
drilled in June. Never before has the num-
Der of men drilled exceeded 10000 men.
Secondly, General Herbert left today Tor
Halifax to confer with General Sir John
Ross. commander of the imperial troops in
Canada with respect to the defenses OF the
Atlantic coast, particularly at Halifax,
where a new fort has been constructed.
One thirty-two ton gun has recently ar
rived at Halifax from England and three
others are to be shipped. These are the
largest guns ON this side of the Atlantic.

The Coke Regions.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April The stu
alton in the coke regions is not materially
changed within the past twenty-four hours
Troops have charge of the coke company's
property and the feeling prevails that as
long as the militia remains there will be nc
lawlessness.
Yesterday and today thousands of peo-
pie visited the bodies of the men who were
shot at Norwood. They lay in the car
riage house of Zimmerman's undertaking
establishment. They were stretched out
side side by side on the long platform,
around which the crowd surged in its
eagerness to get glimpse of the dead men.
Each of the dead men was dressed in robe
of brown material with white collar, neck
tie and shirt front showing under the chin
They are all young men, with the
exception of Cressango, Bivero,
the Italian, and zindle. They
will be buried at Soottdale
tomorrow by the county in the Catholic
cemetery at this place. The faces of the
dead were clearly shaver and on the
breast of each was placed the symbol of
the Roman Catholic church while around
the wrists of few were entwined the
beads upon which they had been accustom-
ed TO repeat their prayers.
From 8 yesterday morning until 10 to.
day an unbroken line of foreigners, about
one in ten who could speak English, filed
around the bier upon which the dead lay.
Sobs and groans were heard no every side
and crowds collected about the clothing
which the victims had last worn and judg-
ing from their actions they will prove
vipers to the men who did the shooting.
It is we'll known among the citizens that
the lives of Capt Losr and his deputies
will be in jeopardy should the militia be
Withdrawn. The foreigners are excited to
a degree bordering on frenzy, and although
they are keeping all demonstrations within
the pale of the law there is no doubt that
they are determined to wreak vengeance
eventually on the people who are RESPONSE
ole for the death of their countrymen.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Am connection
with Jay Goulds visit to the west, an
afternoon paper has the following:
"The object of Gould's visit to st. Louis
at the present time is in furtherance of
the proposed great southwestern and
southern combination of railroads includ-
ing the roads known as Gould system, the
Texas lines owned and controlled by c..
p. Huntington, or rather what is known
as the Huntington syndicate; the Atchi-
son, Topeka aud Santa Fe, and on the
east side of the Mississippi, anu Richmond
and Danville and perhaps others.
The proposed scheme is the formation
of a company with sufficient capital tc
cover reasonable capitalization, amount
ing to some forty thousand miles of rail.
road extending across the continent with
their main stems running through the
south and southwest and many feeders
every direction through
the vast territory made tributary to the
main lines"
The plan is now well advanced in its
preparatory stage and has been endorsed
by Gould. He is anxious to be posted on
every detail and is now coming out for a
final look over the ground. Upon his
return to New York it is probable that
the plan will mature at an early date.
