Demagnetizing Watches.

About q dozen men make a good liv-
ing among the working jewellers around
Maiden lane and in less pretentious To-
calities by demagnetizing watches.
Many people are not aware that they
should remove their watch from their
pocket when they are near dynamo or
any strong force of electricity. The or.
dinary watch under such circumstances
easily becomes magnetized, and until
demagnetized is no longer reliable as a
time-keepcr. This odd business is com
mencing to suffer from the introduction
of watches with insulated cases, which
protect the works. These are now being
largely carried by all who go to work
around electric works, and who can
afford their cost. The others leave their
watches behind them when they 90 to
work.
A business strongly connected with
this, but which is not followed any
more for living, is the adjustment of
compasses on iron vessels after their
cargo is slowed and when they are
ready to start on voyage The devia-
tion of the compass on iron vessels is so
easily influenced by the nature of the
cargo and the manner in which it is
slowed, that nearly every captain of one
has his compass adjusted before leaving
port. New York News.

Noble Tree Planters.

I read very interesting statement re-
Gently that the three late Dukes of
Athole planted in their lifetime IA, 000,-
900 larch trees on their estates. The
writer who made this statement seemed
to doubt the fact on the ground that he
imagined that their Graces did so with
their own hands, which would necessi-
tate each of them planting 200 trees a
day for sixty years. When, however, a
man is said to "plant" an estate it docs
not mean that he does so personally
than, when 1t is said that a man "fur-
nishcs" a house, he makes his own cabi-
nets and tables, or puts down his own
rpcts--though our grandfathers and
grandmoIhers, as often as not, actually
did the latter, as well as good souls :
sewing the various strips of carpet to-
gcther. If, however, it comes to plant
ing trees with ones own hands, there is
still something to be said. Charles II.
planted nearly all the trees in the avenue
at Windsor with his, and some that arc
now in st. James Park; and George Ill
had a mania for planting trees, as well az
innumerable grape vines. Her present
Majesty has planted over 5000 trees il
various places she has visited, and the
Prince of Wales cannot be very far be
hind her in also doing so.-- LGalignani

The Muskrat's House is High.

Indian hunters say that when musk
rats build their houses over two feet
high it means winter severe in pro-
portion to the height of the houses. This
winter muskrats houses are good deal
over two feet high.
There has already been an advance in
prices of most furs. Sealskin has again
gone up, but this kind of fur would
probably have become dearer even if the
temperature had not fallen on account of
the great scarcity of fur seals. 1t is
hinted that should the sealskin now used
become still scarcer the fur of another
kind of seal would be used. The ring
seal has II soft white fur when still pup,
and when year old the color changes to
yellowish, with here and there black
spots. The ring seals are much used by
the Esquimaux for clothing, food and
light, and are the chief dependence of
these people during the long winter
months.
Another fur-bearing animal whose ex-
termination is threatened in the future
is the beaver. He has been driven
further and further up the Ottawa, and
now the East Maine and Labrador dis.
trict and the Saskatchewan and Peace
River are almost the only places where
he can be found.
In Europe, and especially on the Cont,
nent, there is not much demand fol
American furs this winter. Russian and
Siberian varieties are preferred, and con.
sequently have advanced in price. Squir-
rel is becoming more popular in Ger.
many. Foxskins are favorites in Eastern
Europe, but the finest qualities are
generally shipped to the United States.

Food Wasted in Hotels.

The thing WHICH, perhaps, strikes me
most disagrecably in the American hotel
dining-room is the sight of the tremcnd-
GUS waste of food that goes on at every
meal No European, | suppose, can fail
to be struck with this but to French
man it would naturally be most remaik k
able. In France, where, l venture to
say, people live as well as anywhere else,
if not better, there is perfect horror of
anything like waste of good food 1t is
to me, therefore, repulsive thing to see
the wanton manner in which some Amer
leans will waste at one meal enough to
feed several hungry fellow creatures. In
the large hotels, conducted on the Amer
lean plan, there are rarely fewer than
fifty different dishes on the menu at
dinner time. Every day and at every
meal you may see people order three or
four times as much Of this food as they
could under any circumstances eat, and,
picking at and spelling one dish after
another, send the bulk away uneaten.
am bound to say that this practice is not
only observed in hotels where the charge
is SO much day, but in those conducted
on the European plan-that is to say,
where you pay for everything you order.
There / notice that people proceed in
much the same wasteful fashion. 1t is
evidently not desire to have more than
is paid for, but simplya bad and ugly
habit. / hold that about five hundred
hungry could be fed out of the waste that
is going on at such large hotels as the
Palmer House and the Grand Pacific
Hotel of Chicago-and have no doubt
such five hundred hungry people could
be found in Chicago every day. North

A NIHILIST's ESCAPE.
How Stepniak's Glib Tongue Got
Him Out of Trouble.

Serglus Stepniak, the Russian revolu-
tionary leader, is lecturing in this
country. His lecture consists chiefly
of anecdotes from his own experience as
Nihilist. Among the more interesting
is that of his first arrest.
With companion he was found at
work among the peasants, teaching them
his unlawful ideas and making friends
as well as converts. Four policemen
took them to village on the way to a
prison set apart for political offenders,
and stopped there for the night. Then
came friends from among the peasants
bringing many bottles of Russian
brandy to the police, SO that by
midnight each officer was dead drunk
and the prisoners were free to run. They
ran, hoping to reach larger place some
distance away, and there get horses to
carry them to a railroad station. They
undertook to cross a swamp to save
distance. 1t was freezing night, but
the ice was in places too thin to bear
their weight, so that they frequently
fell into the water waist deep, and their
clothing became stiff with ice.
Worse than all they lost their way,
and after two and half hours came out
on highway, but half an hours walk
from the place they had escaped from.
1t was now so near daylight that horses
must be procured or recapture was in
evitable, and yet they feared that if they
applied for help in this village they
would find some one who would recog-
niZe them.
There was no help for it, however, and
at 10
light was seen. A party enjoying dance
was found there. They walked in, and
the first man they met was constable
from the other village, who had seen
them under arrest. He looked at them
suspiciously, but Stepniak walked up and
greeted him enthusiastically.
But l saw you under arrest yester-
day." said the constable.
Certainly; but it was all q mistake.
An order came from the Government
ordering our release. Here is the order.
We want horses" and Stepniak pulled
out copy of song he had made, trust
ing that the constable was illiterate. And
so he was; but he was sharp enough to
demand that the escaped prisoners go to
the village clerk, who could read.
At this Stepniak and his friend deter
mined to fight rather than be recaptured,
but before there was necessity for that
a girl said the clerk had gone to we'd
ding. That was good news, for he was
sure to be drunk, and so away they went,
found him so, and then, having
passed his stupid scrutiny, they
mounted horses and fed to a railroad
station much further away than they
needed to have gone. There, instead of
taking a train that would carry them
further away, they took train that car
ried them back near the scene of their
escape-they doubled on their track.
At one station they saw a crowd of
officers watching for them, but no search
was made in the cars, and they reached
Moscow and friends in safety.
As described by Stepniak the life Of
political outlaw is one of thrilling ex-
citement until he is captured; then he is
executed, commits suicide, becomes in
sane, or quickly dies of hardships in
prison or exile in Siberia.

Tho Torgstrul Employee.

A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when
he was eighteen which were afterward
of great use to him, namely: Never
to lose anything, and never to forget
anything"
An old lawyer sent him with an inn
portant paper with certain instructions
what to do with it, But" inquired the
young man, suppose lose it, what
shall do then?"
"1ou must not lose it."
Il don't mean to-" said the young
man, but suppose 1 should happen
TOP"
But 1 say you must not happen to;
l shall make no provision for such an
occurrence; you must not lose it
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do
thing he could do it. He made such
a provision against every contingency
that he never lost anything. He fonnd
this equally true about forgetting. If
certain matter of importance was to
be remembered, he pinned it down in
his mind, fastened it there and made it
stay. He used to say: when man
tells me he forgot to do something, l
tell him he might as we'll have said L
do not care enough about your business
to take the trouble to think about it
again."
1 once had an intelligent young man
in my employ who deemed it sufficient
excuse for peglecting any important
task to say: Il forgot it." l told him
that would not answer. If he was sutfi.
iently interested, he would be careful
to remember. 1t was because he did
not care enough that he forgot it. 1
drilled him with this truth. He worked
for me three years, and during the last
of the three he was utterly changed in
this respect. He did not forget a
thing. His forgetting, he found, was
lazy, careless habit of the mind, which
he cured Il eric1,l Grocer

All's Fair in Love.

Lieutenant Darlington, who was
among the hurt at Wounded Knee, is
well-known in Washington. 1t was he,
it will be remembered, who was sent after
General Greeley, but didn't get him.
Nevertheless, he made gallant effort,
and has always been considered very
capable young officer. He is little,
blond man, of quiet manners. A ridic-
ulous story was told about him, which he
probably enjoyed as much as anybody.
He admired very much the pretty
daughter of an officer, and one morning,
it was known that the afternoon before,
Mr.. Darlington had been thrown from
his horse while near the young lady's
house, had been badly injured, and taken
to the house of the pretty young lady's
father to recover from his hurt. Now,
whenever cavalry officer is thrown
from his horse he is obliged, according
to the articles of war, to set up the boys
to champagne. So of course there was
great interest shown in Mr.. Garlngtons
mishap. His brother officers, though,
thought the whole affair had rather an
uncanny look, for there are very few
horses that can throw any man who has
been through the riding school at West
Point, and Mr.. Darlington was crack
rider even among West Pointers. The
horse was placed under investigation,
and found out to be an old livery-stable
screw, that was quite incapable of throw
ing anything; and how Mr.. Darlington
ever persuaded the horse to throw him
remains mystery. Also, his hurts,
which necessitated considerable stay
at the young womans home, turned out
to be slight scratch and few bruises.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Darlington
had to set up the champagne, and set
it up great many times, to pacify the
unkind cavillers. Il Boston Transcript.

HIS FIRST ELEPHANT
Aaughable Scenes in Menagerie at

An American travelling in Eurone last
summer wandered aimlessly into nm en-.
closure at CORK, where travelling me-

lection OF animals, among which was n
Ponaerous Indian elephant, cage of
cnatterlng monkeys and few other

the elephant, cycling it with suspicion
and keeping it at a respectful distance
as ne surveyed the beast. At last his ma

Uncovcring his head and pulling at
his shaggy forelock he said, in whisper
OF awe tempered with respect. but in the

eyes OF me nivver rested on the likes o.

The gentleman explained that the ami
mai was an elephant and harmless
beast, and to illustrate the point ap-
preached the creature and reached forth
ms hand containing bit of something
palatable, which the aumal conveyed to
his mouth with his trunk.
The Irishman, somewhat reassured at
the action, still fingered before the ele i.
phant enclosure, gazing at the curious
anatomy and ponderous bulk of the ami
mai. The latter, not understanding the
fixed stare of the man and anxious for
another bit of food, reached out his sin
uous trunk, and inserting it into the
lrlshman's pocket drew forth huge
plug of tobacco, and swallowed it with
the same equanimity that he had the
candies and other delicacies.
Pat did not relish losing his tobacco.
"Ah, ye haythen thiefm he remarked,
shaking his clinched fist at the elephant.
Then in high dudgeon he turned on his
heel with the intention of visiting the
cage of chattering monkeys and other
curiosities.
Scarcely had he TUNED when the ele-
phant, whose palate revoltcd at the taste
of the noxious weed, swung his trunk,
and catching the man across the shoul-
ders sent him sprawling upon the
ground.
The blow, following the theft of the
tobacco, infuriated the man, and spring
ing to his feet he cried in a rage, "And
