Discord in the Music-Box.

According to the stories told in musical
circles, says recent number of the New
York Herald, the blacEballing of Mr.. Cliff
ford Schmidt, the leading violin-player of
Herr SeidPs orchestra, by the Philharmonic
Society was due to enmity upon the part of
certain members Of the society whom Mr..
Schmidt had the misfortune to offend last
summer at Brighton Beach. A member of
The Philharmonic Society who was at the
meeting when Mr. Schmidt was black
balled said last night that the violinist was
rather an excitable man, who made enemies
when he least intended it. At one OF
the rehearsals last summer at Brighton
Beach there arose a dispute between Mr..
Schmidt and Mr. Eugene Weiner, the we'll
known tlute-playei, as to the playing of a
certain cadenza. Mr.. Schmidt differed from
Mr.. Weiner and said so. Mr.. Weiner took
otfense at Mr.. Schmidts manner, and from
the result of the Philharmonic election 1t
seems that his friends sympathized with
him. Herr Seidl, who is not a member of
the society, said that Mr.. Schmidt was
lively American boy, who was rather free
in his way Of talking. He knew nothn e

Observation-Disclosures.

The professional world is startled-a rare
occurrence under such circumstances-by
the announcement that Mr.. William Null
doom, athlete and trainer for the prize-ring
is about to be united in marriage with Miss
Marie Wainwright, connecled with the first
families Of Virginia, and a present doing a
fine business in the late Adelaide Nelson's
tayUrite character, Amy RUbsart. The soon
to-be-bride for a second time. was. it will be
remembered. for several years the wife OF
Mr.. Louis James, Barreti's leading man,
and everybody thought the union felicitouS
in greater degree than professional mar
rIageS usually are; but that little some
thing which lies in wait, it would appear,
along the paths Of Rymen, made its ap-
Iearsnce:
Whispering tongues can poison truth,
Aud cOnstaucy lives Ia realms above,
And life is thoTny and youth is vain,
And to be wrOth with love
Doth work Ike madness in the brain.
Separation ensued. and then divorce. 1t
Is said the altered conditions in their lives
affected Mr.. James more deeply than lie
ever chose to tell; but the woman seems
not TO have taken the affair much to heart.
Tie love and affection" may have been all
on one side, after all; for now the ex-Mrs.
Louis James has found a second mate much
more to her liking in MuldoOn, the wrestler,
and Will soon j in her life's fortunes with
his. Muldoun is already married, but that
does not count. Divorces are now as easy
as pulling off glove, according to the late
reports from Sioux City. We may look for
the new matrimonial deal to be accom-
plished with neatness and dispatch.

A Narrow Escape.

One morning as the accommodation
rushed into Macoupin station, Macoupin
county, on the Chicago and Alton, the
engineer saw at distance what he sup
posed was white dog on the track, but
when nearly on it what was his horror to
discover that it was little child about
four years old playing in the center of
the track. Reversing his engine and put
ting on the airbrakes, he endeavored to
stop i'll time to save the little one. In the
meantime the child, who was apparently
down on it's hands and knees, looked up
and saw the huge monster almost upon it.
Terrified the little one did the best it
could. Instead of attempting to rise and
run it crouched down fat and hid its
head close to the ground. The engine
and one car passed over it before the
train was stopped, and on taking the
child out it was found that with the ex-
ception of three fingers of one hand be-
ing cut off at the ends it was otherwise
uninjured. The engineer, Barker, was
so unstrung by the accident that he re-
tired to car while his fireman was rum
ming the train as it passed through
Brighton. Qll.) Journal.

The Dog on the Farm.

A farmer once told the Listener that
there was nothing in the world that
would keep crows out of field of young
corn except living man or good sized
boy with gun He had tried all man
ner of scarecrows that ever were in
vented. and hung strings about in all
sorts of ways. and the wise birds came
in and pulled up the corn just the same
There was once time, when people first
thought about it. when a white string
around field would keep out crows
they thought it was trap. But it took
the whole tribe only year or two to
see through this device.
A dead crow hung up by the feet will
scare away some crows-no doubt fe-
males. of a superstitious turn of mind
but it won't keep off the canny old
agnostics among them. A farmer whom
the Listener knows once had a shepherd
dog who, at the command go down
and keep the crows out of the cornfield, -
would take charge of the field and keep
away every bird of them effectually.
Dogs. especially collies, might be trained
easily to perform this duty, though oc-
casionally, no doubt. the crows would
divide their forces and give the dog
more work than he could do. Few of
our farmers, by the way, realize the
amount of help in their work that they
can get out of good dog.-Boston Tran

The Secret of His Power.

In a recent book of memoirs we find
this entertaining glimpse of Lord Nor
mandy and his theory of the influence of
the splendors of masculine dress upon the
female sex: Meeting him one day at
dinner at Fulham the subject of women's
appreciation of aristocratic simplicity
came up. The ladies of course de-
clared that there was nothing they ad-
mired so much After listening for some
time. Lord Normandy said: I totally
disagree with you; | believe that women
have no appreciation of simplicity in
dress, nor in anything else. | believe
that the more a man bedizens himself
with velvet, satin, gold chains. rings on
his fingers and vanished boots. the more
they admire him

A strong Electric shock.

A startling electrical display occurred
in front of store on Pearl street, Al
bany, one evening. A boy caught hold
of the iron hosting bar of the awning
and tried to raise himsolf up in order to
look into the window. There is an cleo
trio light in front, and the iron frame of
the awning became connected with it.
In an instant flashes of electricity few
out of the boys feet with detonations
like a pack of crackers. He was COM
pletely charged with the fluid and could
not let go his hold. A bystander caught
hold of him and pulled him away, but
: in doing SO received a shock himself and
was knocked into the street The boy
was dazed and stunned, but was soon
restored, and walked TO his home appar-
emily uninjured. The voltage which
passed through him was about 2,500.-

A Nsw Railroad Joint.

A piece of metal, weighing about forty
pounds, that looked like nickel plated
section of a railroad track, has been ex-
hibited in Pittsburg. It is a model of
the Roulson railroad joint. The patent
joint consists of three pieces, a solid
heavy bottom plate and two sides plated
with lugs or fanges fitting into slots in
the plate and locking under the projec-
tions of the T rail. It is claimed to be
perfect self locking joint, and for all
temporary occasions is safe enough, but
when put in permanently there are two
bolts passing through the rails and the
side plates.
The joint is expected to take the place
of the splice bars in use on most of the
roads at present. 1t is claimed for the
new joint that it not only makes the rail
60 per cent. stronger at the joint than
at any other place, but also that it will
prove cheaper than the old splice, as
there is less metal used in pieces. The
splice bars are made of iron, but the new
joints are of soft steel.-New York Tele-

Birds Arc Like Human Reinrs.

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be-
ing SO Indifferent and idle that they will
let the hen do all the work of building
and rearing, while they themselves sit
and plume their feathers. Others,
again, are perfect gentlemen in their
manners, waiting on the hen with a
quiet courtesy, and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones with
regularity, while others are in a con-
stant state of chatter with their hus-
bands, pecking and arguing with them
every time they go near. Thus we see
that these little birds have their tiffs
and domestic quarrels, not unlike our
selves Chambers Jonrnal.

Cornmend the Good POINTS.

There was a girl few months ago
who seemed to be made a new person by
Just changing her school, although the
school she left was. upon the whole, a
very good one. but her old teacher, a
strict and conscientious lady, could not
be at all indulgent toward the faults and
defects of this particular girl.
The new teacher bore with them easily,
and thus soon discovered the good quail
ties hitherto concealed From being
constantly reproved. the girl found her
self valued liked, commended, and it
made new girl of her. Like the man
of Frederick Douglass, whose boots We're
blacked. she felt that she must avoid her
disagreeable ways.
Almost any observant and experienced
teacher can call to mind similar in
stances, where the acquisition of a
reasonable self love seemed to lift an un-
pleasing character out of the mire of
low propensaties and offensive habits

Hail Knocks a Mules Eye Out.

1t is a very ordinary thing to hear of
hailstones breaking window glass and
stripping trees and plants, but it isn't
every hailstone that can knock out a
mules eye. A colored man named Ed
johnson, who farms about five miles
north of the city, was in town with a
lot of produce. His wagon was drawn
by mule, and one of the mules eyes
was knocked out. A stream of water
constantly trickling from the socket in
dicated that the injury was of recent oc-
currence. johnson said that one day
the eye was knocked out by hailstone.
He was plowing in a field when sudden
storm came up. He unhitched the mule
SO as to hurry to shelter and gave the
bride rein jerk. The mule threw up
its head, and as it did so big hailstone
plunked it in the eye and destroyed the
eyeball. Charlotte IN. c. News.

Ammonia a. a Motive power.

A most successful test has been made
of the use of ammonia as motive power
to displace steam. The test was the first
that has ever been made on a marine en-
gine, and the trial was most satisfactory.
An ammonia engine plant has been fitted
out on the tug E. w. Hartley, which
made a trip up and down the river, SUBJ
jecting the new scheme to a practical
test. Its workings are novel and inter
esting, not only to the mechanical and
scientific circles, but also to the laymen
of the industrial world.
An ordinary engine can be converted
into an ammonia engine simply by the
addition of generator" which is much
like boiler. Steam is used simply for
the purposes of heating the aqua am
monia in the generator. The heated am
monia expels gas, leaving weak solu-
ton of ammonia in the bottom of this
boilerlike affair. When, by raising the
temperature of the ammonia, sufficient
power is generated, the throttle valve is
opened and the gas passes into the cylin-
der of the engine and propels the piston
rod i'll every way the same as steam.
1t is here exhausted the same as steam.
but at this point the gas is cooled and
conducted back to the generator Be
fore it reaches the latter vessel it is car
ried by ''spray coil" to point where
the gas comes in contact with the am
monia solution which has been rejected
from the generator, and here the solu-
ton is recharged by absorption and by
the natural affinity existing between
water and ammonia.
By this means the same body of am
monia is used constantly, exhausting
itself only to be recharged with new life
and to be returned to the generator. The
same is true of the water used. The
steam in the generator imparts its heat
to the ammonia and is thereby condensed
and carried back to the boiler to be used
again. In the ammonia engine there is
absolutely no waste.-Philadelphia Rec

vegetarians in History.

1t is evident from Arrian and Porphyry
that vegetarian orders of men were well
known in their time, and that they were
found in India in the time of Alexan-
dria. They existed in different orders
long before the time of Jesus in Egypt,
Syria, etc., and were known by the
names of Essenians, Essences, Esyans,
Coenobites and Faithists, etc., and those
on Mount Carmel, of whom Elijah, the
prophet, was the chief rabbi, described
by Pliny, were known as Carmelites.
Whatever the name the principles were
all the same-all were vegetarian.
The Masonic order had its origin in
these ancient brotherhoods without
doubt. All the Masonic emblems of to-
day were known to these brotherhoods,
so also their passwords.-D Tanner in
Kansas City Times.

Car Hor.e, branded on the Hoor.

A young man who has Just written q
successful play was leaning on his cane
in company with an actor-an English
mportation-watching the passing show
ON the Broadway side Of the Morton
House when. after a silence of several
minutes, the playwright said:
do you see anything peculiar about
the Broadway car horses?"
May. nayi Would'st try to guy meT
said the actor.
Look at their hoofs and tell me if
they are not branded"
The actor sized the animals up, and a
reporter, who was standing near enough
to hear the conversation, did the same,
and discovered the number 369 on the
forward left foot of one of the horses.
The figures were about half an inch long
and had evidently been just burned into
the hoof
Superintendent Newell of the Broad
way line who was seen at his Office in
the barns at Fiftieth street and Seventh
avenue later in the day, said in relation
TO the reporters question concerning the
branding of the hoofs of the horses:
-'Yes. we have been doing this for some
time now The idea occurred to me sew
factory.
What was your object in branding
them?
Simply SO keep track of what each
horse was doing. We keep the accounts
of each horse now the same as we do OF
any man in our employ. 1t benefits US
in Thousand ways. We know just how
many days a horse works, how many
days it has been sick and, in short,
everything it does. 1t enables us to
keep such minute knowledge of their
work that we know just what condition
they are in, and if they are not all right
we keep them in the barn.
Couldn't you do that if you gave
them names instead of numbers?'
I'VE have 1900 horses in our employ, -
was the reply 'and there is limit to
names, unless you go back into ancient
history.-New York Advertiser
