Coffee in France.

Thevenot, the French traveller, OF his
return from the Orient in 1868, treated
his guests to after dinner coffee. To
Parisians this was merely an eccentricity,
that would not have become fashionable
but for a similar example set by SOllman
Aga, the gallant Turkish ambassador, In
1869. He enlisted the enthusiasm Of
court ladies in favor Of the black and
bitter liquor. Philosophers and littera-
teurs gladly gave in their adhesion.
Boileau, La F~ontaine, Moliere, Voltaire
and the encyclopedias, together with
the chess players, found inspiration in
the coffee houses, which thenceforw trd
assumed conspicuous position in the So
cial life of Gallo cities. "Racina and

Madame de Sevigne as yet most unlikely

Eonlad by a Filibuster.

A. P. Hulse, late of the custom house,
tells a good story Of some hllbusterln2
that came under his notice years ago:
In 1859 Harry Maury, a midshipman,
who had resigned from the service OF
command of a brig off Mobile bay. The
vessel was loaded with flibusters for
Walker and was oyerhauled by a revenue
cutter. An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the YES
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening a lantern
to a pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come to.
Then came the order, Let go your
anchor!' Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms of chain!" was the next
order. Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
a light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud. He then.
when all was quiet, put off down the
bay, leaving the cutter watching the
light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge of the flibus
tering vessel, was down in the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the en-
trance of the harbor the officer wa
tapped on the shoulder and told of where
they were and asked if he wished to g
ashore. A boat was at his service anc
he took it, returning to the cutter il
time to share the chagrin Of his lnates.-

FIectricity That Kills.

DR.. c. F. Chandler of the Columbia
School of Mines says: can interesting
misapprehension that exists in the minds
of a good many persons is concerning
the vital dangers that Turk in the pres
sure of, say, 1000 volts. The newspapers
often tell US that a man has been killed
by such a pressure, whereas, in fact,
such a pressure alone couldn't kill a
humming bird. have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an electro
motive force of 100, 900 volts without
feeling anything more than a very slight
burn.
The danger arises only when the
volts are reinforced by a good many
amperes or currents, as when one takes
hold of a charged wire. Then one feels
q shock that is un~mistakable, because
force of a great many currents IN the
wire suddenly decompose all the fluids
in the body. The salt in the blood at
II c turns to chlorine gas, and the man
whose veins are charged with this deadly
poison cannot in reason be expected to
live long,"

Electric Furnishing Machine.

An interesting application of electric
ity has been made in the electric bur
nishing machine for giving a gloss to the
bottoms of shoes. The shoes are painted
with a dye, after which a cake of spe-
cially prepared wax is placed against a
rapidly revolving brush, which absorbs
just enough to yield a coat Of dressing
to the shoe bottom. The sole, hitherto a
dull black, is speedily polished by a
wheel worked by an electric motor.
This wheel consists Of a rubber cushion
inflated with air, covered with cloth and
fixed on Il grooved pulley. The reduc-
ton in the cost of the process is remark
able, as from 600 to 500 pairs of heels or
soles can be FURNISHED daily by the new
machine.-New York Commercial Ad-

A boy we know had ONE chickens OF
which he had made pets. He and his
father went to their work early in the
morning, and while the rest of the fam
lily were away for the summer it became
a question how the chickens were to be
fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion. He
took an alarm clock and fastened it Sc,
curely to II side of the barn by means
of two spikes, Next he hung a bucket
of corn to a rafter and connected it with
the clock by a stout cord.
He wound up the alarm and set 1t at
o'clock. At that hour the alarm went
off, wound up the string and tipped Over
the bucket. And so the chickens were
fed by Observation-Disclosures Leader.
