Invented for Craveyards.

Among the inventions that com
mend themselves to public notice dur
ing the last fifty years, saws the Chi
cago Times, are those relating to COT
fms, graves and burials. One of these
is intended to furnish the tenant OF a
grave who has been buried premature
~ with means of escape or arousing
the neighborhood. This invention is
simple affair, being merely an open
tube provided with a rope ladder and
a bell and cord. Should the occupant
OF the coffin awake from the trance he
could climb the ladder and make his
way back to the world, or pull the
bell and alarm the township. For
those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undsturb-
ed, a considerate inventor has provid-
ed q torpedo grave" which, if dis
turbed, explodes at once and scatters
the vandals to the winds.

1t Picks up Paper Sheets.

1t is well-known scientific fact that
a ruler made of hard rubber OF gutta
percha may be so charged with cleo
tricity by friction with a wooden cloth
that it will cause to be attracted to it
small pieces OF paper.
This fact has been made use of in
machine recently devised to pick up
separately single sheets of thin and
light material, likepaper, light fabrics,
ETC., III such a manner that each sheet
may be removed and examined.
This machine consists of roller
formed of substance capable of being
charged with electricity, and a roller
covered with fur which is rotated at
high speed. During the operation the
electrified roller approaches the pile Of
paper by the action of an eccentric,
and attracts the upper sheet, the next
sheet below being repealed by the well.
known laws of electricity.
The first sheet now falls upon a con.
trivance which is inserted in the
meantime between the pile and the
detached sheet, and can easily be re-
moved or fed into a ruling machine if
desired.

A Woman On a Horse,

The rider must go the same way as
the horse, with the regularity OF
clockwork and the movement of
rocking-chair, says Carl A. Nyegaard
in The Ladies' Home Journal. Should
the horse strike a faster gait, the rider
must go with him. 1t is sign of bad
Craftsmanship when the rider is jerked
backward too suddenly. 1t is import
tant to know how to control the ami
mails mouth. A skilled equestrienne
will know, after she has been in the
saddle two minutes, whether to ride
her he -se with tight or light grip,
and with what style of reins. The
hand should be firm and the wrist
supple. This is difficult to acquire,
but it is indispensable in good riding.
The wrist must give and take the
reins with the motion of the horse,
keeping only an even pressure. Sit
with a light hand Supple wrist) so
that you may just feel the horses
mouth without pulling at it. 1t is
important, OF course, to sit erect, and,
II one benot straight of form, it would
be wise to acquire erectness by exer-
else. A line from the riders shoulder
should fall right down to her hips and
meet at the jointure of spur and heel
OF the left leg.

Olive OIL.

However valuable and important
the olive as an article of food, the
greater interest attaches to the oil
which it yields. The flesh of the rip
ened olive is spongy, and its little cells
are filled with the oil, which flows at
the slightest pressure. The finest oil
is made by collecting the freshly gath
cred olives in little heaps, where the
weight OF the fruit presses out the oil,
which is collected in receptacles. This
oil is clear with a pleasant nutty flaw
or, and is almost entirely without
odor. When the oil ceases to flow
from the piles of fruit, pressure is an
piled and slightly inferior quality is
yielded. The crushed olives are then
put into sacks, boiling water is put
over them and they are again pressed,
yielding by the latter process a yellow
lsh green oil, which has q sharp taste
and an unpleasant SMELL At Mar
settles, which is great center for the
trade, the oil is classed into six grades,
the lower being used for burning, for
the lubrication of machinery and for
soap making. Olive oil is liable to
adulteration and counterfeit, so that
where 1T is to be used incidentally or
as an article of food, care should be
taken to obtain that which is genuine,
and cheap grades should always be
avoided.-Good Housekeeping.

Electric Light Diminished by Smoke,
Through experiments made by Eng

Through experiments made by Eng
llsh military authorities it has been
found that whenever the atmosphere
Is laden with smoke or mist the pow
er OF an electric light is greatly dimin-
lshed by crossing the beam OF light by
that OF another at certain angle. At
the point of intersection the ilumina-
ted space practically made a screen.
The Industrial World says that it is
proposed to utilize this knowledge
since the electric beam can thus be
MADE to serve as a screen, back oil
which tactical operations might be
conducted in S. cret.

Proper Bridal Etiquette.


There are many little things about
weddings that people inquire about,
says The Ladies Home journal. The
bride writes a personal note of thanks
for every gift received, whether it be
a great one or a little one, and, if she
cannot do this before the ceremony,
she does it after the bridal trip. In
church the bridegrooms family and
friends sit at the right OF the altar
being on the briedgrooms right hand,
while those of the bride are placed on
the left at the brides left The bride
groom dose not pay for anything con
nected with the wedding unless he
should choose to send bouquets to the
bridemaids and, of course, to the
bride, and presents and boutonnieres
to his best man and the ushers. A
widow removes her first wedding ring
at her second marriage, and does not
assume it again. The engagement
ring is taken from the third finger of
the left hand and worn afterwards as
a guard to the wedding ring. 1t is not
considered good taste to cut the finger
out of the glove for assuming the ring.

Mr.. Hanford first appeared with the old Law

work as Cdssius commanded the warmest
praise. The kindly manner in which he was
then mentioned first induced Mr.. Hanford to
adopt the stage as profession and he chose
the right path in commencing from the bottom.
His natural ability and hard study gained for
him rapid advancement and when he was with
the Booth Barrett combination he attracted the
attention OF the critics in every city. His Marc

Prosperity in Illinois.

To the Editor of The Evening star.
Your report of the Thanksgiving sermon Of
Rev. DR.. L. H. McKim of this city contained
the following: I'm Illinois carefully collected
statistics show that one-half Of the intelligent
workingmen are not even able to earn enough
for their daily bread and have to depend upon
the labor of women and children to exc out
their miserable existence"
As citizen of Illinois dislike to hear that
state slandered in such a manner. The state
ment is untrue, and the doctors statistics were
evidently prepared by a calamity bowler" for
campaign purposes. / do not know OF any
able-bodied intelligent man who depends upon
his wife and children to cke out miserable
existence"
On the other hand will state as an example
OF the prosperity OF the people of Illinois that
young man with whom am acquainted went
to Illinois in 1874 at the age of sixteen, and
from the spring OF 1874 to 1886. when he left
there. he had not been idle six months, never
received less than Sl.50 day except for about
three months), which is equal to more than 50
a day III Washington. and when he left there he
was married, owned his own home, had money
Ill bank. and his salary had been raised until it
was sos month-as much as 500 here. This
Case Is not unusual, and if the doctor will visit
Illinois he will find the people prosperous and
happy, who enjoy Thanksgiving sermons instead
OF sermons OF COMMUNICATION.
