Cruelty to Lobsters.

1t is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling Holsters alive continues. Our
forefathers-and,i indeed, our parents
let calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that in no other way could white
meat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next
Now every one knows that calf can be
killed in a humane manner and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity instead Of by the
old barbarous method; and, generally
speaking, animals killed for food have
been pnt out of the way in much more
humane manner than formerly. But
Holsters are still tortured out of exist
ence, the only difference being that.
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
the most agony no one can say.-St.

The Rroncho.

The genuine broncho pony is a Won
derful product of our western prairies.
He is the great friend of the Indians and
the invaluable companion of the cow
boys, from whom he has received his
various descriptive terms of the kicking
broncho," the '.bucking broncho. and the
stubborn broncho." These terms have
become SO closely associated with the
pony that one can hardly imagine the
existence of broncho minus all of these
negative virtues. Yet when kindly treat
ed they make staunch friends, and unless
provoked to it they will hold their bad
qualities in reserve until some stranger
comes near them. New York Epoch.

Lincoln.s Face and the Artists.

Lincoln's features were the despair of
every artist who undertook his portrait
The writer saw nearly dozen, one after
another, soon after the first nomination
to the presidency, attempt the task.
They put into their pictures the large,
rugged features, and strong, prominent
lines; they made measurements to OBJ
lain exact proportions; they ''petrifed"
some single look, but the picture re-
manned hard and cold. Even before
these paintings We're finished it was
plain to see that they were unsatisfac-
tory to the artists themselves, and much
more SO to the intimate friends of the
man-this was not he who smiled, spoke.
laughed, charmed. The picture was to
the man as the grain of sand to the
mountain, as the dead to the living.
Graphic art was powerless before a
face that moved through thousand
delicate gradations of line and contour,
light and shade, sparkle of the eye and
curve of the lip, in the long ga1nut of
expression from grave to gay, and back
again from the rollicking jollity of
laughter to that serious, far away look
that with prophetic intuitions beheld
the awful panorama of war.-J. G. Mic

Not for Herself.

It gives some women deep and al
most oppressive sense of responsi bility
to be intrusted with the selection of a
pair of gloves or a yard of ribbon for
another woman. 1T isn't for myself, -

ribbon counter of a large dry goods
store one afternoon when the clerks
were busiest eff it was for myself /
should know exactly what wanted and
wouldn't waste any time over it.
But
Did you say dark or light green rib

I were going to use it MYSELF
"How would this dor
''Well, hardly know. It seems a
trifie light to me, and yet maybe it
wouldn't be. l don't know just what
it's to be used for, which makes the mat
ter all the more perplexing."
"How wide did you want it,"
'EShe said from two and d half to three
inches, which is of course rather indefi-
mite. It's for friend of mine living in

half to three inches wide, at from thirty
to forty cents yard, and l am puzzled
to know just what to get. If it were for

A Thought N1easuring sracline.

DR.. j. K. McKatterell has constructed
an ingenious apparatus by which he can
determine, with considerable degree
of accuracy, the time it takes to think,
and has experimental with many inter-
esting results. He has shown that to
see piece of white paper and be con-
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth of
a second; to see a picture takes one-tenth
of q second: to see a letter of common
print, one-eighth of second; to see a
full word, one-seventh of a second; to be
able to judge between red and blue, one
thirteenth of second.
He has also proved that to see some
words and letters requires more time
than others. By this same machine,
with some added pieces of mechanism,
the time of remembering can also be ac-
curately measured. According to the
learned NJ. D. and his curious little ma
chine, it takes much less time to remem-
Der the name of a familiar word than it
does the name of letter, and we are
all supposed to be very well acquainted
with the names of the letters of the al
phabet. This seems strange, especially
when we take into consideration the
fact that we can see the letter in less
time than we can the word.
The name of the next month to come
can be thought of in less time than that
of the last. This machine also shows
that sensations travel by the nerves to
the brain at the rate of one mile per
minute, much slower than has been sup
posed.-St. Louis Republic.

SLICK PATENT FAKIRS.
THE HARM THEY DO. AND THE
DECEIT THEY USE.

Ambitious, HardI.orking Inventors re
Their victIms-They Generally Operate
by Publishing a Paper What They
Promise and How They Avoid the Law.
OF the making of patents there is no
end, like the making of books. The
bookmaker and the patentee are half
brothers, the one making machines for
the convenience of the mind, and the
other making things for the convenience
of hand. Both see through the same
glass, and both see the illusive vision of
wealth and fame The distinction is
that bookmaking and patentmaking,
which are failures, produce an army of
desperate cranks, whose persistence of
purpose is equaled only by the useless
ness or impracticability of the book or
patent This age of invention has, how
ever, produced one class of inventors
called .sfakirs," which derives a liveli-
hood by its schemes to draw the coins
from the pockets of the better class of
inventors.
The patent fakir in some cities is be-
coming numerous, prosperous and bold.
1t is only Il question of time until con-
gress will have to suppress him.
The ''patent fakir," as distinguished
from the legitimate agent, is so called
because he runs an agency that is pure
fake. Any one can become fakir, and
he doesn't need much knowledge of
either patent laws or mechanical laws.
The legitimate patent agent is Il man of
wide knowledge, easily commanded
The fakir simply rents II suite of rooms
and puts up his sign. Then he frequent
ly begins the publication of patent
paper.
1t isn't necessary for the paper to have
any circulation, but is good idea to
send out several hundred sample copies
to known inventors Then he watches
legitimate patent journals closely, and
the publications and reports of the
patent Office, and when an invention is
found that it is possible. he thinks, to
induce its originator to back it up to the
bottom of his purse, he writes him a
ticklish letter
