Portable Electric Fire Alarm.

An important addition to the num- Der of electric devices designed for communicating with more or less dis tant points in case of fire is a most handy arrangement of bell, thermostat and battery, which has the advantage of being portable, so that it can readily be moved from one apartment to the other. An ordinary dry battery fur nishes the necessary current. Such a battery, besides requiring no attention and lasting a long time, obviates all danger of leakage or spilling of liquid i; but any other form of battery will serve the purpose. When the temper ature reaches 8 certain point a vibrat- ing bell is sounded, and the alarm con- tinues as long as the temperature re- mains high enough to keep the circuit closed
 Such a device will be appreciated in cases where it is desirable to provide means for giving local fire alarm in buildings which are not wired and con- nected to the engine stations or fire department of city, as when a build ing is used temporarily for storage or like purposes, or in buildings outside of the fire departments limits It will also be useful in the manufacture of many articles involving the application of heat, as, for instance, in drying rooms, where a regular temperature must be maintained.-New York Com mercial Advertiser.

Gospel Outdoors.

The greatest and most largely at tended of all the camp meetings are those at Ocean Grove, N. J.; Mount ain Lake Park, Md Putnam Grove, Pa; Old Orchard Beach, Me-, and Martha's Vineyard. Thousands con- gregate at these gatherings, and during the week or ten days of spiritual wrest- ling scenes are enacted which it would be impossible to duplicate anywhere else in the world The general man agement and programme of the meet ings is pretty much the same all over.
 Days are set for Holiness Meetings" at which both men and women take part, and where remarkable things oc- cur when the worshipers are ''under conviction,7 and where, be it said, many receive good impulses which last as long as their lives. Then there are the "Children's Days," ''Young Peo- ple's Meetings" Business Mems Meet ings," temperance and Sunday school meetings or tconventions, and "OldS Folks Bays" At all of these services there is fervor and directness that comes from the contact with nature in the woods, and grace has full swing while the meeting lasts
 It is in the west and south, however that the typical camp meeting is found; for the east, with it's many improve ments, has obliterated some of the old time features. New York Commercial Advertiser

Misunderstood.

The story goes that man wrote to the editor of horticultural journal asking what plants would be suitable additions to dried grasses for winter or naments. The editor replied:
 "Acrocinium Roseum, A. album, Gomphrena globosa and G. globosa camea."
 When the man read this he fairly boiled over with rage, and immediately sent a note ordering his paper to be discontinued. He averred that an edit or who swore in that way, just because he was asked a simple question, should have no support from him.
 This reminds US of an English trav- eler whose conscience would not allow him to swear, but who found that at the hotel in France where he was stay ing the walters were so accustomed to hear Englishmen use strong language that they considered him a milksop, and neglected him accordingly. He therefore hit upon this expedient to secure a proper amount of attention :: Whenever he gave an order he rolled out in sonorous tones the words Northumberland, Cumberland, Dur ham," The effect was marvellous. He was henceforth waited upon with the greatest alacrity and assiduity. .-Ex. change.

SnarlerS.

Ill conditioned dogs do not all go upon four legs. Most of us have seen snarl- ing CUTS upon two. If there is hate full biped on the face of the earth it is your .habitual snarler-the man who has reduced ill nature to system, and practices it methodically at all times and seasons.
 These professors of the snarling art of course snarl at everybody and every thing, but their especial targets are their families. They reverse the chem istry of the bee. Instead of extracting honey from the weeds of life, they con- trive to extract poison out of its honey. It has been said that "man never is, but always to be, blest;" but that's not the case with the snarler He neither is nor can be blest. In fact, he won't be blest; but on the contrary is a curse to himself and to all who come in con- tact with him.
 Oh! the wives that are snarled at! Vain are their efforts to please. All their winning ways are met with con- tumely, all their fond words choked in the utterance with snappish yelps of anger and contempt. New Eork Led

A Muscular Minister.

H. Price Collier, the young Unitarian divine, is the latest example of muscu- lar Christianity. He is 8 young man of excellent physique and very fair all round athlete. He pulls good oar, plays tennis and is an enthusiast in baseball matters The Brooklyn Heights Tennis club recently made him their president. Sometimes, even since his assumption of his Brooklyn pastorate, he will go into training for three or four weeks at time. Ere quently he may be met on one of his pedestrian trips. At such times he wears regular athletes Sweater" un- der his cassock. He walks at brisk pace out to Prospect park, and there runs 8 mile or so; returning home, he is rubbed down, and then goes back to his desk and his interrupted sermon. Few clergymen carry their college train ing into their clerical life, but Mr. Col Hers plan has beneficial effect on his preaching, and he is aware of it. He breaches broad, free, liberal theology, and his reputation is rapidly growing to be more than a local one-New York Telegram.

 An AtE,:!t,i dispatch says: Yester- day ;;1tr:-::,.Cn DailiiI Couch rushed into the S..rrii.'s office with a gray haired and grizzly bearded prisoner, who trembled with fear as the bailiff announccd:
 ''Mr. si.cri.f, here is an old man who IS charged by a negro with steal ing dog last Christmas"
 Can you give bond?" the sheriff asked the prisoner.
 l can. sir, If l will be allowed to see some of my neighbors in De Kalb county"
 Well, we can't fix that now, and I reckon you will have to go to jail for the present."
 The old prisoners eyes began to fill with tears as he dropped wearily into a chair
 Presently some one spoke to the sheriff as Col Thomas.
 The prisoner sprang to his feet and asked, eXcitedly:
 ''Is this Col. l.. P. Thomas9''
 II am, replied the sheriff.
 Don't t you know me, colonel? Don't you remember old Newt Nolan, who was in your command during the warp
 An expression of recognition came over the colonel's face as he held out his hand and replied:
 Newt, old fellow, how do you do, and where have you been all this time9'
 Colonel, have been out in De Kalb county working ever since old Company D laid down her arms. Say, colonel, about this dog stealing busi- ness. All did was to take up stray dog, and when the owner called for him l wouldn't give him up until he paid for his board. Colonel, I never stole but one thing in my life. Don't you recollect that night we went out and stole a sheep?"
 Yes; hungry soldiers are excusa- ble for foraging little"
 Now, colonel, tell the boys what I did. Tell 'em, colonel, how honest old Newt is"
 Why, T refused to eat any of the sheep because, so you said, you couldn't eat mouthful of what didn't belong to you"
 ''And l was mighty hungry"
 "4es. we were all half starved"
 ''Now, colonel, do you think I would steal negro's dog2"
 Why, bless my heart, old fellow, of course you wouldn't. Here, MT. Ballltf, I'll put up the amount of that bond. Let my old comrade here go free"
 And the war scared veteran hugged his old commander, and went out into the sunshine proud and happy.-Ma- con (Ga.) Telegraph.

The Profits of Fruit Vendors,

The profits made by the Italian fruit vendors with the push carts which we see in the streets are great enough to make fortunes were the business only carried on extensively enough. Upon investigation found that $3 is paid for barrel of apples. This contains about fifty which are marked five cents each, seventy-fve to eighty at two for five cents, one hundred at cent and ,.bout another hundred for half a cent. The return therefore is $6 on an expen- allure of $3. As stock is renewed once in two days if the man have luck hk makes 50 per cent. day on his invest ment of capital On the other hand he is subject to many petty thefts, and his life is one continual moving on to avoid the police.
 The approach of one of the blue coated guardians of the peace along Park row at the hour in the afternoon when the peddlers most do congregate in that thoroughfare is the signal for 8 general scarry, and reminds one of nothing so much as the furry in the barnyard when the hawk circles over head. To return to the profits, how ever, while the percentage is high the amount of money averaged by each man is little enough when it is remem- bered that the majority of them sup port families. Yet they save money, and in time get one of the street cor her fruit stands, which in their hands are said to be perfect mints.-New York Telegram.

An ObliCin. Clerk,

There IS a clerk in the New York postotiice who could be elected presi- dent tomorrow if the suffrages of the women folk who deal with him through the square window behind which he sits could send him to the White House. ''He is the politest pub lie official ever saw," one woman en- thusiastically exclaimed the other af- ternoon as she came down the stairs from the mezzanine floor ''It doesn't make any difference if the thermom- eter is 60 and the humidity 100, he has always just the same easy and polite manner. He'll unite your parcel and do 1t up again for you if he thinks it isn't just right. He'll tell you every thing you want to know and look and act all the time as if it were the great est pleasure imaginable. Today he was seen to fix up woman's parcel for her-the string broke or something, and he got fresh wrapping paper and twine and tied it up, addressed it and then actually put the stamp on for her. And he smiled all the time as if he were as delighted as she. She was not pretty woman, either. If the wo- men could vote he would be postmas- ter general at least "-New York Even ing Sun..

Taking Only "Cat Maps.

Boucicault was so anxious to get as much out of life as possible that during the last four or five years of his career he denied himself proper sleep, going to bed at 3 and rising at 6. The time passed in slumber he considered vast ed. More rest than this he did not seem to require.
 The other day read of a man in London who never sleeps, as we under stand tlse word. He is the janitor of a large building to which people resort at all hours of the twenty-four. This Cerberus volunteered for a double sal ary to do the watching day and night, and so he does, sitting in a chair and opening a gate every time the bell rings. There is never a longer interval than fifteen minutes, and yet he con- trives to snatch sufficient sleep to serve him. His health is good and his hap piness apparently complete. He looks upon himself as fortunate in having this exacting place, which most other people would not accept at any price.
 The amount of sleep is to a consid- erable degree matter of temperament. Napoleon, according to the life of Jo- sephine recently published, was pro- digious sleeper, taking nine hours when he could get it. His active brain re- quired this amount of rest. On the other hand Emile Littre, the author of the dictionary, needed only four hours. He went to bed at a. m. and got up at s. All the rest of the time, except a few minutes at his meals, he spent at his desk. He lived to be S5 and en- joyed perfect health. NewA
