Public Vehicles I'm Paris,

There are few if any hansoms in Paris,
the small open barouche being the favored
public conveyance. To see myriad OF
these fitting about at night is like looking
at festival of lanterns In places Paris is
brilliantly lighted by masses of lights, al
ways gaslights; but in open places, like
parts of the Champs Elysees. where the
foliage filings dense shadows, the lamps OF
the cabs produce beautiful effect. Buses
are plenty, but lest the driver should fail
to make the necessary amount of noise
with his whip and voice he is REINFORCED
by the use of horn fixed beneath his foot
board and worked by sort of bellows
process. An expert driver is therefore
able to make three sorts of noises at once.
In Paris the public vehicles are too few
and too slow. Paris is as far behind Lon
don in means of public conveyance as Lon
don is behind New York.-Julian Ralph in
Uarper's Weekly.

Ought to Be Careful.

l was over in Hoboken the other day,
and while wandering around l saw apaint-
er finish painting an awning post and hang
up placard with the word 'Paint!' on it,
so that all might read. 1t wasn't two min
utes later when a man came along and
backed up against that very post and
rubbed away at it for three or four minutes
before he discovered that he had struck it
rich. Then he yelled out in great indigna-
ton:
"Why didn't you hang up sign here?"
"Isn't there sign right there before
your eyes?" asked the painter.
eyes, but it only says Paint How did
know whether it was fresh or dry?"
People ought to be more careful about
these things. A grocer in Avenue B must
have tn ought so, too, when he put out a
dozen boxes Of blackberries and placarded
them, Genuine Black Berries. New

Propu1s;on nv Jets of Water

Alexander Vogelsang, a resident of
Brooklyn, thinks he has discovered the
secret of the successful propulsion of
ships by jets of water. The real loss in all
jet propulsion has been, he says, that as
the direction of the jet has always been in
straight line in an opposite direction to
the vessels way the jet cannot find a full
crum close to the discharge to act against
except the peripheral part of said jet. 1t
has occurred to Mr.. Vogeisang to use two
or more jets, the nozzles pointing in an op-
posite direction to the vessels way, and to
make these jets revolve around common
axis in circular paths like the tips of a
screw propeller.
The object was not to allow the jet time
to give velocity to the water acted upon
and SO to find al solid fulcrum for the entire
area of the jet close to the discharge. The
inventor is sure that this will prove the
most economical and efficient method Of
propulsion yet known. Screw steamers can
be readily altered without disturbance Of
the hull-Boston Transcript.

Whom Did He Mean2

A good story is circling throughout Ger
many about schusterbub, or cobbler's
boy, who was waiting outside the palace
to see the emperor come forth for his after
noon airing. Finding the delay tedious he
suddenly exclaimed:
'The BOBBY isn't comingl shall CO."
A policeman at once caught him by the
collar and shouted, "Whom do you mean
by the BOBBY sirrah?"
"Why, my friend Michel" whined the
boy "He was to have met me here, but
he hasn't come"
The policeman of course accepted the ex-
PLANTATION and let him go, whereupon the
boy retreated twenty PAGES, struck a de-
risive attitude and yelled:
''And whom did you mean by the boo
y'?"-EXchange

Plants and AnimaIs.

Professor Stewart, F. R. s., president
of the Linnean society, in a lecture, deliv-
cred in the gardens of the Royal Botanic
society, London, drew attention to the
curious and intimate relationship existing
between some animals and plants, espe-
cially in tropical countries, where the
struggle for existence is so, fierce. One
plant, known as tho bulls horn acacia, OF
Central America, provides a SPECIES Of ant
not only with food and drink, in the shape
of tiny egg like bodies upon its leaves, and
a sweet liquid contained in special wells
on the stalk, but, in addition, it furnishes
a tenement for the ant in the hollow spines
with which it is armed. In return for
these favors, the ant protects the acacia
from it's enemies. Philadelphia Ledger.

BY THE MORNING LIGHT.

Oh, glad and red, the light of morn
Across the field of cattle broke,
And showed the waste of trampled corn
And smoldering farmsteads wrapped II
smoke;
And cold and stark the soldier lay,
Shot down beside his shattered gun;
And grimly splashed with blood and clay
His face looked CHASTITY in the sun.
Oh, glad and red, the morning shone
In happy England far away,
Where knelt bright haired little one
Beside her mothers knee to pray,
And prompting each fond faltering word,
The soldiers wife was glad and smiled;
She knew not twas widow heard
The prattle Of an orphan child. .
Oh, glad and red, oh, glad and red
The morning light glowed everywhere;
And one beam touched the father GAad,
And one the child who knelt in prayer
And from the trampled corn and clay
A skylalk sprang with joyous breast,
For shot and shell had spared that day
Its four brown eggs and little nest.

WHY tho workhouse Is Unpopular.

There is great element of consolation
in the sight of sufferings greater than our
own. The salt of life is to have someone to
look down upon. If there are many high
and mighty ones whom l envy. there are
still many who are even more lowly than l.
This is the reason of the appropriately OF
the workhouse-that the pauper can scarce
find anybody oyer whom he may triumph
Another name for this feeling is divine
discontept. "-Murray's Magazine.

1t isn't the usual sooy
it's just the reverse-to pay
patient when you can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DR.. .Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn't mere talk-it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. It has cured
thousands Of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the ris-you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, Or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DR..
Pierce's medicines are sold on.

BLACK sNAKz VERSUS FIsa.

Novel Contest Between the Two
Ended by Third Psrtys Stick.
LEXINGTON, W. Va, June Ala black
snake about three feet long was seen swim
ming in Tomhnson's Run yesterday with a
fish, commonly known as bulIhead in its
mouth. The fish was nearly eight inches
long. The snake had succeeded in swallow
ing the fish. beginning at the tail, up to Just
back Of its head, where its fins are rein
forced by strong horns or spines. Beyond
this point the snakes jaws could not get,
for 50 long as the fish survived. Just 50 long
would it instnctively raise its fins and horns
whenever il felt the end Of the snakes jaws
touching them.
With a strong forked stick the snake was
lifted out OF the water, whereupon the fish
fell ont Of the snakes mouth. Evidently il
had been there some time, for it was
lacerased, hvid 10 spots and its life blood
seemed TO have been horribly sucked out of
it, leaving the most of its body pslkd and
colorless. When released It sank head first
to the bottom Of the pool. then revived and
came to the surface and after ward SWAN

ALMOST A PARALLEL IN HISTORY.
Scoring King George at the Trial Of
Queen Caroline.

queen caroline.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Much surprise has been expressed at the
courage shown by Sir Edward Clarke in his
illusions, during the recent trial, to the
Prince of Wales, but this Is not the first
time that English lawyers have shown
themselves ready TO attack royalty in the
discharge Of their professional duty.
During the trial of Queen Caroline, Sir
John Denman, who had been made her
solicitor general, made himself much more
offensive TO George ". While preparing
his speech the great scholar, Dr. Parr, sug-
gested to him 70 draw a parallel between
the queen and Octavia, the wife of Nero,
and gave him Greek quotation, which can
not well be translated, of which
1t will suffice to say that it con-
veyed a very offensive impui alton. 1t
was understood at the time that It was
meant TO apply to the king hemself, 30 that
he was spoken OF as Nero. and Charlton
house as Nero's hotel. In the same speech
be attacked the Duke of Clarence for cir
culating ISLANDERS against the queen among
the peers, which she was unable to meet or
disprove, and, after denouncing such con-
duct as it deserved, be wound up with the
apostrophe, "Come forth, thou slanderer,
and let me see thy face" and il is said that
the result was that the duke was for some
George ". was not disposed to forgive the
| attack upon himself, and Denman was not
made kings counsel till long atterward, al
though his position at the bar for many
| years entitled him to this advancement.
| According to Denman's own account, he
was not aware that his Greek quotation
| had been understood to convey any i'm
putation against the king, and 80 soon
as he was informed of this he applied to the
Duke of Wellington to correct this mistake.
| In the life of Lord Denman, the memorial
disavowing the intention escribed to him
| is published. and the king, after stating
| that ''he could not believe the Greek
quotation referred to had occurred Co the
mind Of the advocate in the eagerness or
| heat of argument, nor that it was not in
| tended for the purpose OF applying to the
person of the sovereign gross impu .ation,
| so that he had considered 1t his duty TO COM
| mand the late Lord Chancellor Eldon and
| the Lord Chancellor Lindhurst not to ap>
proach the king with the name of the
memorialist," In view Of the disclaimer con-
| tanned in the memorial, gave him his patent
Of precedence.
When the Duke of Clarence became Will
lam ". he showed more magnanimity. and
| when upon the death Of Lord Tenterden.
Denman's name was suggested, and he was
| reminded of Denmans language on the
| queens trial, he replied that "he had long
since forgiven all that and had almost for
gotten it, /" and appointed him lord chief JUS
| tice of England.
It will be interesting to note which prece-
dent will be followed in the case Of Sir Ed
| ward Clarke, If he shall not have been
raised to the bench before the Prince of
Wales comes to the throne.

A LITTLE MAGIC.
Which Really is Not Magic, But It's
Worth Trying.

Which Really Is Not Magic, But It's
Worth Trying.
From the Philadelphia Times
Select from the assembled company the
person least inclined to believe In table
turning, spirit rapping and the like and ask
him to rest his hand steadily on the table,
holding knife as shown in the illustration.
Split a lucifer match at the non-phos-
phorised end. Trim the end Of a second one
into wedge shape and work the one into
the other, so as to form V, the more acute
the angle the better.
Place these two matches astride on the
edge of the knife, requesting the skeptical
gentleman to keep the blade exactly hori-
zontal and so to hold his hand that the two
phosphorized ends Of the matches shall just
touch the table without any interruption of
contact. To the establishments Of the COM
pany the two matches will be seen gradually
to move along the blade. This unexpected
effect is produced by unconscious move
ments on the part of the person who holds
the knife-movements as impercsptible to
himself as to the spectators.
When it is desired TO give the experiment
thore fanciful character you may slightly
break each match half way down. They
will then represent the legs of a cavalier,
who's [s>ue- cut out Of a visiting card, may
be stick ~ slit made at the point Of junct-
ure Of the tive matches.
