Accident on an Elevator.

In one of New York's largest hotels they
have three elevators and OF course require
very powerful machinery to run them. One
of the guests who had gone to the theatre,

Dels. and as the steak was particularly good

he reached his hotel the colored attendant of
the elevator had gone up stairs and falleninto
the arms of Murphy or Morpley, I'm not
sure which. Our friend believed in fresh air
dina lived on the floor nearest the sky, SO OF
course he.was disappointed to find the elevator
closed for the night. He muttered something
TO his wife and gave wrench at the IRON
door leading to the elevator car. IL opened

upwards, to think how he outdone the mouse,
and how the darkeys eyes would stand out IN
the morning, when he found the elevator AT

Two Profitable Professions.

In discussions and articles on "The
Choice of Profession, two of the most
lucrative professions of all have been for
gotten These are the professions of a
jockey and "strong man." At festive
meeting, viz, the annual dinner of the
Jimcrack Club, during the past week, a
former stew ara of the Jockey Club said :
Ceases now exist where jockey receives
a salary equal to that of Secretary of
State, and jockeys even of the second
rank receive, think, payments which
place them in position, from financial
point of view, considerably ahead, may
say, of the bulk of their employers I"
Besides these salaries, Tor retainers, as
they are called, the jockeys receive the
authorized and regular riding fees, and
it is no exaggeration to say that at The
present moment at least half dozen of
them are earning, in connection with
their riding, in the shape of retainers,
riding fees, and presents, $25, 900 year
apiece, and in one or two cases even
more. With reference to the earnings
of ''strong men," Sandow is reported to
have said, in connection with the con-
test in which he took part on Wednes-
day, that by his defeat he lost more than
$50, 600, the savings of only two years.
If these two statements are facts, and
there is no reason to doubt that they are,
we need not wonder at the large number
of would-be ''strong men" and jockeys.

The Care of Razors.

eyes" said Pearl street barber as he
was shaving me the other day, 1--WE often
have amateur shavers bring up their razors
to be fixed up. Almost any man with a
steady hand can shave himself, but not
one in fifty can keep his razor in decent
condition. The first reason is that anna
teurs wear all the temper out of their
razors by excessive strapping, and the
better the steel the easier it is affected
in this way. The only remedy is to let
it alone. Put away the razor that scrapes
and cuts the skin and give it good
rest Then use it again, and in all proba-
bilty it will be in good shape. Some of
the modern shaving sets have as many
razoIs as there are days in the week. and
on the handle of each is engraved the
name of the day. If rotation is kept up
very little sharpening is needed. have
heard men talk of pet razors which they
have used so many years; if they would
let those lie by for while they would
find welcome improvement. The second
cause of the trouble is bearing on the
razor wnile sharpening it. You never
want to attempt to put on an edge before
shaving. When you are through rub the
blade few times lightly ON a plain
leather strap, which need not cost above
a quarter, and then put away. The old
boiling water craze is exploded now, and
professionals do Just as good work with
cold water as hot. VI Albany IN. "

Horse sausages.

The best Bologna saugages are made of
chopped bacon and pea flour, and are
favored chiefly with garlic and cloves.
When the bacon is old, nut sound, says
the Sauitarian, such sausages are whole
some and highly nutritious, and are es-
pecialIy useful to laborcrs, travellers, and
soldiers in emp, and others who have
not the means of cooking at hand.
They rarely spoil. but, being eaten un-
cooked, they may som times intro ,uce
trichine. The use oi horseflesh is q re-
cent innovation in sausage manufacture
and is practised in Italy and Belgium. a
well as In this country. These horse
sausages are said to be of the Bologna
variety, and the makers justify tn m

when healthy. But the meat actual,
used is tn Of animals woru out by work

Great Seeds and Early Fruit.

Correspondents of Garden and Forest
remark upon the evidence afforded by
recent experiments that seeds from
immature fruit will give product re-
quiring less than the usual time to
ripen, and that the earliness thus gained
can be increased by continuing the
selection. This has been observed, ac-
cording to DR.. L. Lewis Sturtevant, at
the New York Experiment Station, in the
case of varieties of corn, turnip, and cab
bage. AT Purdue University, India, a
gain of from fifteen TO twenty days has
been obtained by early selection. Pro-
fessor Arthur, of Purdue University, has
observed further that the plant as well as
the fruit thus cultivated tends to early
ripeness, and hence the period of fruit.
fulness, OF the time between the first and
the last ripe fruit, is much shortened.
With the increase in the amount of fruit,
according to Professor Arthur, there is
also corresponding decrease in the size
of the vegetative parts of the plant
that is, the stems and foliage. A tomato
plant grown from green seed in the
fourth generation was found to bear three
and q fourth times as much fruit as top
stems and leaves together, while similar
plant from ripe seed had only one and
| an eighth times as much fruit as tops. 1t
follows that, while earliest may be
considered as a usual condition in all
crops from unripe seed, an increase in
the amount of the crop occurs only when
the true fruit is the part harvested, as il
tomatoes and peas, and decrease in the
amount of the crop occurs when any par
besides the fruit is harvested, as il
turnips and potatoes. Popular Science
