Wealth in the Watermelon.

Every season develops more and more fully the prevailing necessity for the dis covery of some practical and profitable use to which the surplus melon crop may be put. Every melon left in the field at the end of the season, except for seed, represents a waste. A means by which this waste, which annually as- sumes enormous proportions, could be averted would no doubt be hailed with pleasure by every melon grower in the country; therefore the announcement from the Southland to the effect that such means has been discovered, if au- thenticated, is an important one.
 The new discovery, which consists of converting the melon bulb into sirup, it is alleged, will establish in the south an industry scarcely of second importance to that of producing oil from cotton seed, and the product is vouched for as being the very best ever yet made. If the report proves true, and there seems to be little or no reason for discrediting it, Mississippi and Scott counties may, with little energy, convert that which is now absolutely valueless into profits running into the thousands.

A Beggar'S Excuse.

Some of the beggars who infest Park row are very bright, indeed. By con- stant practice they become admirable judges of character from facial expres- sion. The ones who are most successful are those who come out frankly and own what they want money for. A very common device is to ask for cent with which to get over the bridge. The other day well dressed man was approached by sorrowful looking man at the bridge entrance, who whined in a crying tone:
 Say, mister, will you please give me a cent? want to get across the bridge"
 The man addressed showed his hand into his pocket and drew out a ticket for the bridge promenade. The tramp look ed at it with a disappointed expression and then exclaimed:
 "That ain't no good to me, sir; want to get over the bridge in hurry on the cars. My grandmother's dying. ."-New York Journal

Houdin's Domestic Contrivances.

Houdin acquired q comfortable com petence by the exercise of his art, and he built handsome villa at St. Gervais, near Blois. When he had retired from business he amused himself by introduc- ing varous curious inventions into his place and the grounds attached to it. The garden gate was situated some 400 yards from the house. A visitor had only to raise diminutive brass knocker and let it fall upon the forehead of a fan tastic face-making but faint sound when large bell was set in motion in the villa.
 At the same time the gate swung open automatically, the plate bearing the name Robert Houdin" disappeared, and another took its place on which was engraved the word "Entrez." When the postman delivered the letters he had brought he was instructed to drop them through a slit in the gate into the recep- tacle provided for this purpose. The box, directly this was done, started of its own accord on its journey to the front door of the house by means of 8 miniature elevated railway.
 Houdin invented, too, an ingenious contrivance by which, while lying in bed, he could feed his horse in a stable fifty yards from the villa, for on touch ing small button there was put in mo- tion an apparatus that caused the exact portion of oats required for the animals meal to fall into the manager from the granary above. Byanother curious piece of mechanism little bench that stood beside ravine in remote part of the grounds was so constructed that imme- diately any person sat down upon it the machine automatically traversed @ nar- row bridge that spanned the gorge, and having deposited the occupant on the other side the bench returned to its orig inal position.-Chambers' Journal.

Mir. Lamar,s Absensmindsdness.

I remember joke told about Lamar when of being given to writing and thinking up poetry, and his appearance very often as he walks along the avenue is very pensive and absent minded. At one time when he was living at Wllard's he met friend as he was coming from the senate down by tho National hotel
 "Come up and have dinner with me,n said Lamar to the gentleman after they had shaken hands.
 The friend accepted the invitation and started to walk up the street with Mir Lamar He began tho conversation and soon was in terested in telling about sone occurrence at home, but Lamar had fallen into one of his reflective moods, and was not listening to anything the friend said. The space between the National hotel and Willards was passed over, and, finally arriving on the pavement in front of the latter hotel, Lamar suddenly pulled himself together, and, looking around, he recollected that he had friend with him. He had not heard word the gentleman had said, but, turning to him, stretched out his hand and said:
 "Well, this is my hotel 1 am very much obliged to you for walking up the street with me. Good-by," and turned to % in
 But the man was not So easily shaken. He laughed and said
 "Beg pardon, senator; you invited me to dinner, and I am not going to lose it."
 ''So did, SO did" cried Lamar quickly, and taking his friend by the arm he went in. W ashington Cor. Courier-J ournal

Crnu1inr Out of a Small Ho1.

"1 am usually very good st remembering names" said Senator Davis, of Minnesota, "but did got stuck once and under the most embarrassing circumstances. I was sitting in my office at St. Paul, when in came man whom was delighted to sec and who was delighted to see me. We had been raised as boys together, had enlisted in the same com pany and served through the war together, he being tho lieutenant of the company of which was captain. I knew him as well as my own brother, and as we had not met for many years I was glad to give him o genuine hearty welcome, but for the life of me I couldn't think of his name. He re- mained with me all the morning and in vited him to go to my house to stop. He consented to do so, and as it approached din ner time l commenced to grow very nervous for, of course, 1 would have to introduce him to my family, and I couldn't ask my old chum and oomrade what his name was Finally l thought of funny cxpedient Getting a pen and sheet of paper told him 1 thought it would be good idea for US to join in letter to another of our comrades with whom we were both very intimate dur ing the war.

Dishes at London Dinners.

Owing to the facilities for transport the fashion that prevails at large dinners of giving game. fruit. etc. coming from far countries is less difficult than it might at first appear. and you now meet with many curious dishes that hitherto the untrav- eled have only read or heard of. At a grand dinner it Is not extraordinary now to have offered to you bears ham from Russia. sterlets from the Volga or haunch of reindeer from Lapland Among the fruits, the cokis from Japan are the best This fruit is yellow, resembling in form and color a mandarin orange; the inside is eaten with a spoon, like an ice. But all these dishes from afar are overrated and cost more than they are really worth. and your true gourmets prefer the produce of France. where the poultry. game and fruit can be had fresh and not spoiled by 8 long journey and being packed in ics.- London Queen.

Sweet Vengeance.

A good joke is told upon two St. Cloud gentlemen, both of whom are well known young men. One of them is 8 married man. The other day two young ladies from, well, it might have been Minneapolis, arrived on visit to his wife. Soon after their arrival the two gentlemen conceived a diabolical idea. A mouse was captured and tied between tie bed clothes in the apartment occu- pied by the visitors shortly before they retired The reporters informant re- trained from giving the tragic details of the finding of the imprisoned animal, and it must suffice to say that it was awful! There was no peaceful slum- Der for the visitors that night, and until dawn was spent by the young ladies in deliberating upon how to avenge the above practical joke. They succeeded most admirably.
 Last night the two gentlemen, who occupied the same room, retired as usual. Occasionally they would remember some thing about the mouse and then roar of laughter would be heard. But sud denly everything grew still. Then there were some remarks that sounded like 'cuss words" and suddenly a prolonged snufing noise, and then the anxious listeners knew that all was over, or rather under the bed. It is explained that when the two young men proceeded to don what is commonly designated as Q might dress" no ingress or egress could be discovered. They were sealed dramatically sealed. The crash was caused by the fragile form of man falling to the floor through a sheet, which was mistahngly taken for mattress. The gentleman slept upon the foor.-St. Cloud Times

unexpected Generositx.

A woman entered drug store not far from Beacon street the other evening, and said that she wished to purchase a toothbrush. The proprietor laid out a number of these articles upon the counter for her inspection, and turned away to attend to the wants of another customer In a short time inc female approached him and said in the sweetest of tones:
 q have tried them all, and think that like this one the best, so will take it"
 The astonished proprietor took one look at her, gave one moment to silent reflection and meditation, then said:
 Madam, you may have them all for the price of this one. will make you a present of them"
 The woman no doubt is yet wondering at the cause of his unexpected generosity. Boston Record.

 "Oh, it is, is itF said the senator, grimly. "Well, I've visited in that place number of times. I suppose you know everybody there, don't you!"
 The boy replied that the people he didn't know were not worth knowing.
 "Well, then," said tho senator, ''ten me the name of the fat old man who peddles milk about townp
 "He isn't fat and he isn't old," answered the youngster, doggedly. 'His name is Skinny Eccles."
 The faintest sort of a smile lit up the Yer mont senator's stern features. Turning to his clerk, he said: "Give him the money There's no doubting the boys honesty" and then he added with chuckle, as he turned to re-enter the chamber, "'Skinny' Eccles; well, well. haven't thought of him before in dozen years.

Calculation on 8 Potato.

Did you ever calculate the value of 8 single potato on the basis that that single tuber was the only one left in the world: That one would, of course, contain with in itself the possibility of restocking the world with valuable article of food. If one potato would produce when planted but ten potatoes in ten years the total product of that one potato would be 1o,oOo,oOO, 900, which would stock the whole world with seed. If the world were reduced to one single potato 1t would be better that London or Chi cago be plotted from the earth than for that one tuber to be lost.-St Louis Re- public.

As to reading while lying down in bed so far as the eyes are concerned, provided the book is held in such a position that the eyes do not have to be rolled down too far. Unless the head is raised very high by pillows, however. it will be found very fatiguing to hold the book high enough. not to mention the danger of falling asleep and or upsetting the lamp or candle and thus setting the bed on fire Many persons permanently weaken their eyes by reading to pass away the tedious hours during recovery from severe Illness. The muscles of the eyes partake of the general weakness and are easily overtaxed. Per. sons in this condition may be read to, but should avoid the active use of their avn eyes.-Professor David Webster, Nj l.

An Old Cematerr Eonnd.

A cemetery of the Merovinglan period has been disclosed by workmen in rail way cutting near Argenteuil, France. Two hundred and twenty tombs were brought to light. The primitive mode of cof1ning the dead in plaster of paris was resorted to by the people who buried in this cemetery. The plaster envelopes have resisted well the action of time, it is reported, as all the skeletons were pre- seryed.-Paris Letter.
