Why Thunder Is Slower Than Lightning.

of lightning is not also quick? The light

AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.
PRODUCTIONS FOR WHICH CAPITAL
ALWAYS is LACKING.

The Poor Man Who Is Continually Chss-
ing the Phantom of Wealth-He Can
Never Convince His Fellows That He
Has 8 Good Thing.
There was hesitating nibble at the
door knob, then the door was slowly
opened and in he came, looking first at
one and then the others of Us, as If IN
search of q friendly or encouraging
glance.
His clothes were old, but well brushed,
and his shoes had seen their best days
He was tall. thin and. hungry looking
individual, who would scarcely have
cast shadow when sidewise to the
light. He had no doubt seen better
days, but now he was Of the class Of
shabby genteel" who some way or other
manage to exist on the barest pittance.
Removing an old SLOUGH hat from his
head with a spasmodic jerk, he turned
to the man who was nearest the door
and asked "Is this the place where they
patent gallusses and Braces"
When informed that it was he seemed
pleased to think he had found the right
place and asked to see the chief. Hat in
hand, he sauntered up to the chiefs desk,
and after few remarks about the
weather he reached down in his trousers
pocket and brought up a continuance
which at first glance looked like an ordi-
nary shoe horn. With a click and
snap, however, he turned up from the
small end a corkscrew.
We had all seen him before, and
knowing there was fun ahead, by this
time there was general suspension Of
work and all were intently watching
the proceedings. With the fire of genius
in his eyes and tremor in his voice he
exclaimed as he held the contrivance up
to view: There's a fortune in that for
somebody. but they don't seem to see it.
That little thing fills long felt void A
man always needs a corkscrew In the
evening, and after he has drawn the
corks and imbibed the contents of sew
eral bottles, how would he get his hat
on in the morning if it were not for this
little hat persuader?

He Loved sausages.

A correspondent sends from Michigan
true story of farmers dog who has
been found guilty of obtaining goods
under false pretenses.
He is extremely fond of sausages, and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them for himself, carrying writ
ten order in his mouth.
Day after. day he appeared at the
butchers shop, bringing his masters
order, and by and by the butcher be-
came careless about reading the docu-
ment. Finally, when settlement day
came, the farmer complained that he
was charged with more sausages than
he had ordered.
The butcher was surprised, and the
next time Lion came in with slip of
paper between his teeth he took the
trouble to look at it. The paper was
blank, and further Investigations
showed that whenever the dog felt a
craving for sausage he looked round
for piece of paper and trotted off to
the butchers.
The farmer is something out of
pocket, but squares the account by
Boosting of his dogs intelligence.

why shoemakers Demand Deposits.

ShAoCAAAopEIo
IF we didn't secure deposit with
orders" said a custom shoemaker while
trying to explain why it was that ''some-
thing on account" was needed, 1--WE
should soon have to start misfit parlors
on our own account. It is not that
gentlemen deliberately. order shoes
without intending to call for them, but
it is a certain thing that quite large
number of measurements are taken,
shoes made, and then never asked for.
When deposit has been left, there is
of course less danger of this, and if the
shoes are not called for we can be sure
of prompt sale at price high enough
to secure us from loss.
Then there is another trouble about
this business. Almost every one who
comes wants his order filed by a given
date, generally a very near one, but
half the time a week or more elapses
before the shoes are called for. This
naturally encourages habit of procras-
tination on our part, and unless this is
carefully checked delays and disap-
pointments would be very general in
deed. Nearly all custom work is done
out by shoemakers at their own homes,
and these men are far more autocratic
and independent than we dare to be-. 1"

and filed with different colored carna-
tions, lilies of the valley, mignonette or
other seasonable flowers. Each speci-
men should be set by itself. This pro-
duces an exceedingly pretty effect.
The fireplaces should be well filed
with potted plants, such as ferns and
variegated foliage plants. Over pict-
ures and doors neat effect is obtained
by draping long trailing ferns and pas
sion vines in bloom. To keep flowers
fresh as long as possible be sure to cut
q little of the stem each day. A hard
crust forms on the end of the stem
which prevents the water from ascend
ing, and this should be cut away each
day. A little charcoal in the water in
which the flowers stand will sweeten
them and keep them fresh longer. &c.

A Hotel with Many Locks.

The new Hotel Metropole at Brighton
has been provided, according to Sir
George Chubb's address to the visitors
at the Wolverhampton works, with be-
tween 800 and 900 locks. Each is said
to be different, but single master
key" as it is called, opens the whole
number. There are also, it appears,
several sets of sub-master keys. Thus
the manager or proprietor of a hotel
can have access to every room in the
building, but each tenant can only get
into bis own room, while the officials
can each have master keys" to the
particular sets of rooms of which they
have charge. The rather stringent
views which our judges have taken OF
hotel keepers liabilities makes the CUES
ton of hotel locks more than ever i'm
portant from the hotel keeper or man
ayers point of view.-London Tit-Bits.

DOG AND COUGAR IN A FIGHT.

A Mail Carriers Canine Companion
Makes q Good Show Against Odds.
Jim Mcmahon, who carries the mail
into Vance, was riding leisurely along
the trail with the mail pouch slung over
his horses back, and his dog, big,
courageous animal, brimful of fight,
and ready to tackle anything from
mouse to bear, was trotting ahead of
the horse, occasionally making short
excursions into the forest through
which the roads winds on the trail of
some wild animal
Suddenly, after having made a dash
through the brush, the dog came tear
ing out into the road, uttering savage
and fierce barks, his hair bristling and
evincing unmistakable signs of terror.
Jim at once surmised that the cause of
the dogs retreat must have been due
to an apparition of some unusually
large wild animal.
Squirting his horse he rode up to the
point where the dog was still growing,
and encouraged the animal to attack
the unseen cause of the commotion.
The dog responded by fierce rush into
the brush, and in a few minutes APP
peared near the road in savage con-
fiict with large cougar. After a short,
fierce round both went down, the dog
on top. His master knew, however,
by his screams and growls that the dog
was not having the fight all his own
way.
The cougar had leaped and fastened
his cleaning fangs on the dogs head,
while his hind feet, with sharp claws,
were tearing into the dogs side, and
were making the hair and the blood
fly. The horse, which had now seen
the wild animal, was plunging and
rearing in terror. Jumping from his
saddle, Jim drew his revolver and went
to the dogs rescue.
Cougar and dog were rolling around
and round, now one on top and then
the other, and moving so swiftly it was
hard to distinguish them. They were
all tangled up in maze of hair, blood
and blood curdling yelps and screams.
Jim wanted to kill the cougar, but
didn't want to kill the dog. So he
waited for an opportunity, and then,
raising his big revolver, pulled the trig-
ger, but the gun missed fire. Again he
aimed and pulled, with the same result.
In his excitement he had forgotten that
several of the chambers of the pistol
were empty. Luckily for man and dog
the cougar at this time released his
hold on the dog and sprang into the
brush and disappeared. Remounting
and whipping up his horse, Jim rode off
with the dog to safer place. An ex-
animation of the faithful animals in
jries revealed the fact that one of its
eyes had been gouged out, the side of
its head lacerated and its neck and
body badly cut and torn by the fangs
and claws of the cougar.-Chehatis
