ANGELS IN DISGUISE.

Women Who May Attain the Heavenly
Character by Little Sacrifice.
If the wives of our employers were
to take the trouble to inquire little
closer into the domestic lives of the
men employed by their husbands, this
world would be far brighter one for
many hard-worked woman who buries
her troubles in her heart and wipes
away the only outward trace of it with
her apron. | know of an employer
whose wife interests herself in the
lives of the people in his store so that
she ascertains the birthdays of their
wives, their children and even the we'd
ding DAYS. 1t was done so quietly and
so sweetly that none suspected her pur'
pose. But now on each festive day in
those fifty odd families there comes
some pleasant remembrance. 1t is new
err the same, but always something that
is lust needed in that family at that
time. Every six months those hus-
bands ind a little difference in their
salar, envelopes. At Thanksgiving a
splendid bird goes to each of the houses
in the employers name, ut Christmas
tirxe the hand of the wife is visible.
Now that is practical charity. God only
knows how many burdens that one
woman has made. easier, how many
lives she has made brighter. None OF
the women whose paths this woman has
so pleasantly smoothed has ever seen
her. To them she is like an invisible
angel of goodness, but many are the
silent prayers that go up at those fifty
I homes for her gentle consideration for

FLOATING IRON.
Why the Solid Floats Upon the Molten
Metal.


This question. which has puzzled
good many observers, was satisfactorily
explained by DR.. Anderson in a recent
paper upon steel read before the Iron
institute London. When a piece of
solid iron is thrown into pot of molten
iron or steel the solid metal at first
sinks, which shows that its volume is
less than the melted metal. But soon
the solid piece becomes heated, which
causes it to expand, its volume is in
creased, and it rises and floats on the
surface of the molten mass. The action
is the same both with iron aud steel.
Mr.. Wrightson said:
The experiment was frequently made
bv throwing piece of iron into melted
steel. They could see it go down, and
might think that it was on account OF
the impetus which the iron had attained
in falling that height, but as a matter
of fact, if the iron were put upon fork
and lowered, it would go down; but in
the course of a few seconds 1t came up
again. and kept on expanding until the
piece of iron was a considerable dis
7 lance above the surface Of the metal
( Then it decreased in volume, and OF
( course became of the same volume as
/ the molten metal which il joined Any
one could sec by the distance that the
( piece of iron went above the surface
/ that it was of considerably less density
I than the molten metal. - Sclentlnc

A Mobile Doctor Tells Most Remai hxabis
Fish Story.

A Mobile Doctor Tells q Most Remai kable
Fish story.
Dr.. Rhett Goode, the well-known
surgeon of this city. tells story which
Is certainly one of the most remarkable
ever recorded. 1t is 8 fish story, but
true one.
The doctor, with Messrs- w. II. Bar
ney, Z. O. Zadek and w. C. Gellilrand,
was the guest of Capt ]. w. Black.
manager of the Sullivan Timber CO.,
on an excursion down. the bay recent
ly. The party reached Fort Morgan
early in the morning, and spent the day
in fishing, enjoying excellent sport
Mr.. Barney brought two shark lines
and cast them early in the day, but not
until afternoon, when the party was at
dinner, did he get bite. Then the
fishermen pulled in two moderate-sized
sharks, one about five feet long and the
other about seven feet long. When
the fish, after considerable excitement,
were pulled up on the wharf. they were
given their quietus with an ak.
Some time after it was suggested that
DIR. Goode open the sharks and recover
whatever gold watches, finger-rings,
etc, their stomachs should be found TO
contain. The doctor opened the seven
footer, and then piled the knife on the
smaller shark. The story as he tells IL
is as follows:
81 made a straight incision and
opened the body of the shark. took
out the stomach, the alimentary canal,
and the intestines, and, having exam
ined the stomach, threw those organs
over into the water. Having curios-
! ity to see how large heart such fish
has I cut into the diaphragm and
extracted the heart The organ,
I found, was about the size OF
an egg, rather small, I thought for
so large a fish. The curious thing
about it was that it continued to pull
safe after had taken it from the fish
It beat regularly for minute or more
lying there in my hand. When Il
stopped beating l pricked 1t with the
knife and it again pulsated for shorf
time 1t was perfectly empty of blood
Meantime the pilot and Others
pitched the seven-foot shark off thu
| wharf, and it sank to the bottom. W.
could see it plainly through the cleal
water They then took the smallei
shark, all of whose internal organs
had removed and whose heart held II
my hand, and threw it into the water
