READING GAS METERS.
some Harvard Students Help Pay Their

Come Harvard Students Help Pay Their
Expenses in This Manner.
One of the pleasantest and best pay
ing occupations in which good many
college men engage is reading meters for
the Boston Gas Light Company. This
company employs about twenty-five stu
dents in that department. The work is
quite simple, each man being given a
district in which it is his duty once a
month to visit every gas meter and note
down the figures as indicated ON the
dials. The districts are so divided up
that it takes each one five or six days to
complete his work. For this the stu
dents are paid s. per day; consequently
they are able to earn about $l2 per month
from reading meters alone.
Where student is practicing the most
rigid and severe economy this g per
week proves quite welcome assistance
and goes long way toward paying for
their simple necessities. The work is
steady the year round, and college
man i'll the employ of the Boston Gas
Light Company can of q certainty count
upon an income of at least $3.50 to $3
per week. The work is considered so
desirable by collegians that there are al
ways on hand a number of applications,
SO that when one drops out there are
plenty eager to take his place.
The young men thus employed come
from all the surrounding colleges, Har-
ward, Tufts, Boston university, Institute
of Technology, and the Medical School
furnishing about equal numbers AS
rule they are of New England birth and
tion of how some young men put them
selves through college is found in the
case of a native of tho Granite State
who is attending the Boston university.
His means being very limited he Sc
cured work from the Boston Gas Light
company, the proceeds from which he
used in defraying all his college ex-
penses, such as room rent, books, cloth
ing, etc.
He at first got his board free by serv-
ing moons as a waiter in restaurant,
and later by acting as commissary for
boarding club. In this way he obtained
all his board, room rent. clothing, books
and all the other things necessary to
college course by his own individual cf-
forts. Another young man pays his
way through tho same college with the
money received from working for the
gas company, added to the profits of
large newspaper route which he goes
over every afternoon, and it is said that
he earns from that source even more
than from reading meters.-Boston Rec

Bleaching by IL New Agent.

DR.. Ludwig Schrciner, of Stuttgart,
has brought forward a new bleaching
agent which he calls ozonin. 1t is pre-
pared by dissolving % parts of hydrate
of potash in 1864 parts of water to.which
1875 parts of rosin are added after boil
ing the solution. To this mixture are
added first $50 parts oil of turpentine
and then 1864 parts peroxide of hydro
gen. The product thus obtained is ozo-
min, a bleaching agent more powerful
than either turpentine or peroxide of
hydrogen alone. DR.. Schreiner says that
a solution of one part of ozonin in 1000
parts of water will form a powerful tex
tile bleach, and that the solution also
has disinfecting and antiseptic proper
ties of value.-New York Telegram.

A Deaf Mans Hearing.

ways to attract the attention of a deaf

Had to Saw Her Out.

Several hundred people crowded the
street in front of Galt's jewelry store
Friday morning, attracted by the sorry
plight of a comely young woman, who
sat on the fagstones right in front of
one of the big windows. One daintily
shod foot peepel perforce from under
her skirts, and the other was down in
the coal hole under tho sidewalk.
It seems that the iron and glass graf
ing that lights the vault under the side
walk just before the plato glass window
was broken. The hole did not seem
large enough for child's foot to slip
through.
The young woman, pretty blonde in
handsome dark green dress, stopped to
look at the jewelers. wares in the win
dow. Suddenly she gave little shrek,
and seemed to losc half q foot of her
stature. She was evidently much dis
tressed at something, and little wonder.
Her French boot had slipped through
the hole in the grating and her leg had
followed it halfway to the knee, as far
as it could so. She tried to pull it out,
but it was wedged fast. So she sat down
on the flagstoncs and began to cry from
fright and pain and modification.
She was at once surrounded by a
crowd. The police calno and made the
people stand back, and a kindly faced
old lady did what she could to comfort
the unfortunate girl.
Mr.. Gait sent to a machine shop for a
couple of men, and they came with saws,
hammers and crowbars and set about
breaking one of the bars of the iron graf
ing so as to release the imprisoned foot.
1t took fully = half hour, and tho crowd
got bigger and bigger every minute, but
finally the iron bar was sawed through,
and the pretty girl was freed from the
most awkward situation of her life.
Then she took u carriage and went home.

Chopped Off His Own Hand by Accident.
Graham 7. Holtzclaw, a we'll known
young attorney, cut off his own left
hand with IL hand AK. He had arrived
home late for breakfast with a steak
which lie desired the cook, Mary, to pre-
pare for hi1u. In good natured way
he told her that if she would cook the
steak he would cut some hndling. With
milestone he sharpened a hand ak,
the blade of which is about five inches
broad, and proceeded to cut the kin
ding.
Taking soggy piece of pine block, he
lteld it upright on the chopping block,
and aimed heavy blow to split it. The
block slipped as the AK blade descended,
and the young mans left hand was
thrown under the blade. The blade
struck his wrist at the joint, and the
hand was completely severed, rolling to
the ground beside the block.
Holtzclaw seized the stump of the left
arm in his right hand and called fo,
help. The cook, with great presence Of
mind, held the arm between both of he,
hands tightly, stopping tho squirting
blood, and the injured young man called
for string. With stout cord tn,
