A Valuable Invention.

A gentleman who has made several
important mechanical inventions, and
has been for some time engaged in per-
fecting new journal bearing for rail-
way cars which shall prevent the danger
of fire from overheating the axle-that
is, from what is technically known as a
"hot box''-had not long since an inter-
view with an official of company which
was to take up the invention.
The interview took place at the home
Of the inventor, and his daughter, a
young lady well on in her teens, sat in
an adjoining room, where she overheard
all that was said.
Although she listened intently she did
not understand all the details of the
conversation, but that she was much i'm
pressed by what she did hear was shown
by the fact that the next day she con-
fided to an aunt that the family was on
the eve of a great success.
II heard papa telling Mr.. Blank all
about his new invention last night" she
explained, ''and Mr.. Blank said there
was fortune in it.
But what sort of an invention is it?'
her aunt inquired.
The girl put her head thoughtfully on
one side for a moment.
Il am not quite sure" she answered,
trying to recall the talk which she had
overheard the day before, "but l think
that papa has invented new kind of hot
box."-Youth's Companion.

To Preserve Fabrics.

German ingenuity is stated to have re-
sorted to a method-revived from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the ravages Of decay for
an indefinite period, process by which
it is said, no matter how delicate the
texture or color of the fabric may be, its
long life is assured. 1t appears that the
inventor in this case, a German chemist,
based his experiments on the commonly
known fact that the wonderful preserva-
ton characterizing the headbands Of
Egyptian mummies is attributed to their
having been impregnated with a kind Of
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex-
periments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re-
suit that the green tar left after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark of the birch tree yields a
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with power of resisting, after
once becoming dry, even the action Of
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long desideratum-of
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm
perishable, as far as decay is concerned,
a peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, ready union
with the most delicate as well as brilliant
colors.-New York Sun.

It,s Her yay. Bless Her.


1t was an up town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it.
After disposing of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried in their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex-
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and winked at cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
a cross eyed man winks.
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
"Don't, dear, | have change" The
third woman said nothing, and the con-
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.
"Don't you dare to pay the farer' said
one of the women.
"And don't you'll" was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
Faith, thin wimin do be always the
same" said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he was
wrong?-New York Recorder.

Bill posting for places Of amusement
in this city has become quite a large
business. A theatrical manager who
has spent a good many thousands of
dollars in this form of advertising says
about it: mo theater in this city spends
less than 500 per week in this way.
Some Of them go much higher. Many
people get all of their amusement
news from the billboards. Barnum had
great faith in this kind of display. For
years it cost him 5000 per week for every
season in this city Reckon it up, and
itcan easily be figured that more money
is paid to bill posters in New York than
the president of the United States gets.
'sThe charges for posting are from
three to five cents per sheet per week.
When the weather keeps clear sheets
last two or three weeks. In rainy
weather they need frequent renewal.
The poster pays rent for space, SO that
the advertisers expense is simply for
posting and keeping posters in good con-
dition. After paying all expenses some
posters net better income out Of the
business than the average good profes-
sional man or merchant can make. p

Childhood Of Lotta.

Little Lolita Crabtree is an excellent ex-
ample Of the results of early training.
Away in the fifties Lottie was skinny
little thing with freckles and hair redder
than it is now, and she was taken all
around the state of California by heI
mother and small company, and was
obliged to dance, sing and act much
against her will, and as regularly as the
time for rehearsal came around she would
have mad fit and throw her spidery
little body on the floor and scream and
kick and pound with all her might. In
enc or two places it was thought that her
parents were i'll treating her, perhaps
pulling her joints tomake them limber,n
and folks were going to do something
about it, and that something would
have been very unpleasant for her
parents, but when the delegation went
into the room Lotta soon convinced
them that they had better depart. Lot
ia never had any girlhood. She stepped
with one movement over the gulf that
separates child from woman, and at
twelve years old was older than any
woman at twenty-five, and then she stood
still for many years, and now is going
back to pick up the years of girlhood
that the exactions of her life defrauded
her of. But it is hard to gather up lost
years again and have them as good as
new.

The travel Of thousands Of human be-

"Then it's settled or sprung"
Cant be. Stone floors can't spring.

The other day couple of gentlemen
were lunching rather elaborately at q
prominent cafe. One of them sighed
frequently and looked at his watch and
inyeighed against the necessity for
work.
''Bahr' exclaimed his companion, s'you
would not know what to do with your
self. You thrive upon an active life.
Besides you have been everywhere and
seen everything, and if you had five
millions tomorrow you couldn't enjoy it.

A Mad seulptor,s wonderfal work.


When the young sculptor, John B.
Leoni, during a fit Of temporary insani-
ty, was held in waiting at the Burling-
ton (N. j. Jail, pending the results Of
inquiries as to his identity, he obtained
possession Of a common bar of washing
soap and proceeded to astonish the jail
ers. With the nail Of his index finger
he began to dexterously carve the soap
into the shape of the ''human form di-
vine," and within an incredible short
time, considering the magnitude Of the
undertaking and the unbalanced condi-
ton of his mind, had produced won
derful model of an Alpine hunter.
The figure, which is now carefully
treasured, is said to be equal to anything
ever executed by either Marcou OF
Vidouquet. 1t represents man with
his right arm outstretched, the fingers Of
the hand encircling the neck Of duck,
which is as carefully reproduced and as
true to nature as the figure Of the hunt
er. The left hand hangs by the hunters
side, holding shotgun, while at his feet
lies the figure of dog wistfully gazing
at the game his master holds aloft.
Taken all in all it is a most remarkable
work of art.-St. Louis Republic.

References No Good.

New York references are no good, !"
said the attorney for collection agency.
s'We never take them. When a note is
due we just crack ahead and bring suit.
Then the man must pay costs besides.
That is the way we get our living. We
rarely ever counsel extensions. Nine
cases out of ten, if man wants four on
five days and gets it he'll never pay at
all, and the advantage arising from i'm
mediate suit is lost. All notary has to
do in case of a note is to call at mans
residence or place Of business. He
doesn't have to present the note for pay
ment. If the man isn't there a suit
can be begun at once without further
notice. 1t is legal refusal to pay if the
man isn't there to receive the notary.
That is the way we do business. Our
business is to get the money for our
clients. The creditor must look out for
himself. I wouldn't give the snap of my
finger for the best reference in New
York. New York Herald
