Cost of water Gas.

A great many people think water gas
cheaper because it Is made out Of oil.
This is mistake. The greatest differ
encc between the cost of coal and water
gas is in the matter of labor The max
ing of coal gas requires skilled labor of
the best kind, aud at better compensa-
ton than is usually given to labor of
this class. The work is very hot and re-
quires the closest attention, so that the
chance man cannot be engaged for it.
The man who does it acceptably must
have been educated in it, and must be
steady and devoted to his work. In the
manufacture of water gas this labor is
cut of, and the saving represents the
large part of the difference between the
cost Of the gas manufactured from coal
and that produced from oil.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

They are laughing over q blunder Of
United States examining surgeon up in
Caribou. He was examining for deafness
an applicant for pension, and to test the
mans left ear held n watch ut some dis
tance and asked him II he could hear it
tick. The answer was NO. and the
same reply was given to repeated ques-
ions as the watch was brought nearer.
"Put him down totally deaf in left ear. :"
the surgeon said. and holding the watch
away from the mans right ear. the Same
question was asked. To his surprise. tho
answer was the same. II then occurred
to the surgeon 10 examine his watch. and
he found that it had stopped. The ex-
animation was begun all over again

the latter act in tragedy: II had never

how just is the instinct which led the
Greeks To mark with high and severe
stamp the muses.. Temperament and
quick intelligence. passion, voice, charm,
poetry-Mllc. Bernhardt has them all.
One watches her with pleasure. admira-

quietude. Something Is wanting. That
something is high intellectual power. II

that he would try and dream the winner

idea of his he announced TO several Of
his friends. who naturally smiled some

Mr.. b. r. Hutchinson has promising
son Isaac. of which this story 10 told:
"old Hutch." as the world calls him,
was seated one afternoon ON the fence
surrounding piece Of his property upon
which a comfortable dwelling house was
being put up. The veteran merchant
was whiting a stick Of wood and super
intending the actions Of Ike" who.
under his instructions. was transferring
lot of laths from the open air TO the in
terror OF tho unfinished house in a wheel
barrow. IL was not an easy task. Any
body who has tried 1t knows now hard IL
is TO wheel Q barrow up q sisgle plank.
But "Young Hutch" was performing tho
job creditably.
"Old Hutch" watched and whitfield for
a while in silence. Then an idea struck
him. and he numbered down of the fence
and approached his perspiring son.
ike" said he, "you know as much a.
an oyster"
Ike made no reply, but looked . little
sulky.
"See here" went on the old man.
don't you see that you can get twice
as many laths onto that wheelharrow II
you pile them crosswise instead of length
wise, as you've been doing? just watch
me, and see the load Ill take In there"
The boy silently watched his father
laboriously pile up the sticks When he
started the wheelbarrow slowly up the
plank bystander might have perceived
huge grin Of delight spreading itself
over Young Hutch's" features.
When Old Hutch reached the brick
doorway he stopped. whyf Well, be-
cause when piled crosswise the laths
were too long to permit the wheelbarrow
TO enter. The old man turned slowly
round and mopped his brow with red
silk handkerchief.
Old Hutch looked at Young Hutch

twain deliberately, you don't know as

The old man told the Century club
crowd all about IL the next day. and

that Ike would be bigger man than his

The spirit of the Spanish inquisition
lives today in the form OF the small boy,
and particularly that portion Of the
genius commonly known as the gamin.
For discovering particularly ingenious
and soul racking methods Of torture and
annoyance. the small boy stands pre-
eminent and dunapproachacle. This great
truth was borne in upon the mind of
The Man About Town by an incident to
which he was a witness on Olive street
the other day. A youngster who, from
his aristocratic appearance, was evidently
the hope of some West End family, and
who had stxayed down town, had
become deeply interested in the mys-
teries of the cable road and was endeav-
oring TO penetrate lis secrets by q careful
investigation through the slot. Agamin
stood on the curb.
His rowing glance took In the boy in
the middle of the street, and his active
mind Immediately conceived a plan to
improve the situation for his own amuse-
ment and the utter woe OF the boy from
the West End. He drew a long string
from his pocket, made slip moose in
one end and warily approached his vic
tim. With sudden spring he seized tho
others natty hat. deftly slipped the
moose around the crown and running q
few steps up the street before the other
boy had taken in the situation. he dropped
the free end through the slot. Instantly
| it caught the cable and held fast. and the
next second the hat was sailing up the
street at the rate Of eight miles an hour
with its owner wildly pursuing it. a
hopeless second in the race, while the
bystanders cheered. and the author of
the trouble smiled smile of exceeding
peace, and ran up an alley to relate his
adventure TO a few other angelic spirits.
