A Crank Attempts to Kill Russell Sage
With Dynamite.

With Dynamite.
NEW YORK, Dec. "A crank exploded
a dynamite bomb in Russell Sa.e's office
to day, and as a result the crank and two
other men were killed outright. Half a
dozen others were badly injured, among
them Mr.. Sage, and the building was
badly wrecked. Two men, one of them
carrying a satchel, entered Mr.. Sage's
office at III, Broadway, about noon to-
day, and one Of them demanded a private
interview with Mr.. Sage. He was told
that Mr.. Sage was busy and could not be
seen, but he persisted in having an inter
view. Mr.. Sage was informed of the
mems wishes and was at the time talking
to Col. ii. w. SlOcum, of Brooklyn.
He told the clerk to get the name of
the men. One of the strangers, carrying
a grip with him, handed him a card in
scribed with the name of Wilson. He
presented the card to Mr.. Sage with "let
him enter" The two men came in to
gether. At this point, however, reports
differ. Some say that only one man en-
tered, while others have it that the two
men entered. Mr. Sage asked the men
their business and the man with the
satchel said, very slowly, owe want
81 100000 and we want it right now.
Mr.. Sage started but said that it was a
great deal Of money and that he would

time to wait the money is wanted now.
He went on "In this satchel | have 500
pounds Of dynamite and unless you hand
over the money up she goes" Mr.. Sage
made one attempt to tempOriZe.
He had not the money he said. His
visitor must come again. At the word

ing fell around and upon them, the win
dOws were blown clean across the strest
into Trinity cemetery and with them a
mangled and torn. The entire building
was badly shaken. Sage was taken to a
drug store where it was found that his
injuries were not serious. His face and
hands were cut and hair singed. Soon
afterwards three other victims were
brought in the store, one of them was
the man who exploded the bomb. He
was nearly dead when brought in and
expired shortly afterwards.

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be-
ing so Indifferent and idle that they will
let the hen do all the work of building
and rearing, while they themselves sit
and plume their feathers. Others,
again, are perfect gentlemen in their
manners, waiting on the hen with a
quiet courtesy, and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones with
regularity, while others are in a con-
stant state of chatter with their hus-
bands, pecking and arguing with them
every time they go near. Thus we see
that these little birds have their tiffs
and domestic quarrels, not unlike our
selves. Jonrnal.

What is WorSted9

A woolen yarn is soft and fluffy, while
a worsted yarn Is hard and firm, possess
ing a much greater tensile strength. In
the woollen yarn the fbers are tangled
and crossed, and drawing is avoided as
much as possible in preparing the raw
material for spinning, so as to leave the
natural curvature of the fbers undis-
turbed and afford the greatest freedom
OF action to the felting and quality of
the wool. In worsted yarns the object
Is to obliterate the felting quality and to
secure elongation and parallel arrange
ment of the fbers
In the early days of the manufacture
the best results were only attainable in
worsted yarns from long fbered fleece.
The English woods are commonly called
combing woods for this reason, and it
was the possession of this fleece of an
unrivaled quality which made England
the birthplace of the worsted manufac-
ture, and has kept it at the front in this
process.
One of the results of improved ma
chlnery has been to remove any distinc-
ton between woolens and worsteds
based upon the difference between the
wools employed in the two processes.
Short wool of merino blood can now be
combed as successfully as the longer
staple. The processes of treatment,
however, continue to differ radically.
This difference is primarily created by
the introduction of the combing ma
chine, an instrument unknown to the
wool manufacture proper.-S. N. d.
North in Popular Science Monthly.

Tricks of Artists.

A French paper says that for two
months of the year the chief business of
the two thousand and odd exhibitors at
the Salon is to attract the attention of
visitors to their own pictures. Some of
the 'dodges" which have been found
useful for the purpose, it seems, are
highly ingenious. The plan found most
effectual, and therefore most commonly
employed, Is the yankee Amateur
Dodge" 1t consists of employing two
or three agents, dressed in an eccentric
fashion, to walk backward and forward
with a mysterious air. The public is
greatly awed by their appearance, and
reports are soon circulated that the pic
ture will be sold for its weight in gold.
Another highly recommended plan is
to hire the best looking model intro
duced into the picture to walk back
ward and forward in front of the can
vas. The identity is soon discovered,
and great sensation is the consequence.
A few years ago painter found out
still more original plan. He placed some
soft, resinous substance, which would
grow soft with warmth, in front of his
own picture. The unfortunate person
who happened to stop for a few minutes
would find himself fixed to the spot for
some time. Our authority thinks this
last method the most businesslike and
effectual.

Electric Furnishing Machine.

An interesting application of electric
ity has been made in the electric bur
nishing machine for giving gloss to the
bottoms of shoes. The shoes are painted
with dye, after which a cake of spe-
cially prepared wax is placed against a
rapidly revolving brush, which absorbs
just enough to yield coat of dressing
to the shoe bottom. The sole, hitherto a
dull black, is speedily polished by a
wheel worked by an electric motor.
This wheel consists of a rubber cushion
inflated with air, covered with cloth and
fixed on grooved pulley. The reduc-
tion in the cost of the process is remark
able, as from 600 to 800 pairs of heels or
soles can be FURNISHED daily by the new
machine.-New York Commercial Ad-

A New Railroad Joint.

A piece of metal, weighing about forty
pounds, that looked like a nickel plated
section of railroad track, has been ex-
hibited in Pittsburg. 1t is a model of
the Roulson railroad joint. The patent
joint consists of three pieces, a solid
heavy bottom plate and two sides plated
with lugs or fanges fitting into slots in
the plate and locking under the projec-
tions of the I rail. 1t is claimed to be
perfect self locking joint, and for all
temporary occasions is safe enough, but
when put in permanently there are two
bolts passing through the rails and the
side plates.
The joint is expected to take the place
of the splice bars in use on most of the
roads at present. 1t is claimed for the
new joint that it not only makes the rail
so per cent. stronger at the joint than
at any other place, but also that it will
prove cheaper than the old splice, as
there is less metal used in pieces. The
splice bars are made of iron, but the new
joints are of soft steel.-New York Tele-

Com fort for Corpses.

Among the inventions that commend
themselves to public notice during the
last fifty years are those relating to cof-
fins, graves and burials. One of these is
intended to furnish the tenant of grave
who has been buried prematurely with a
means of escape or arousing the neigh
borhood. This invention is a simple af-
fair, being merely an open tube provided
with rope ladder and bell and cord.
Should the occupant of the coffin awake
from the trance he could climb the lad
der 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 undisturbed
a considerate inventor has provided a
torpedo grave" which, if disturbed, ex-
plodes at once and scatters the vandals
to the winds. Chicago Times.

Fox blades were celebrated all through
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
for their excellent temper, and mention
of them is frequent in English drama.
This is their history: There was GER
tain Julian del Rel, believed to be a
Morisco, who set up forge at Totedo in
the early part of the Sixteenth century
and became famous for the excellence of
his sword blades, which were regarded
as the best of Toledo. That city had
for many ages previous been renowned
for sword making, it being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art, as they did
so many good things, from the east
Julian del Refs mark was a little dog,
which came to be taken for fox, and
so the ''fox blade" or simply ''fox" for
any good sword. See "Henry "" act
iv., scene 4, Thou diest ON point of
fox" The brand came to be initiated in
other places, and there are Solingen
blades of comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog of
Julian del Rei.-Notes and Queries.

We Cling to Early Ideas.

Naturalists are now telling us that the
opossum does not play 'possun, but is
merely paralyzed with fear for the time
being. Articles are published every day
in our ornithological papers and maya
zines which go to prove that owls can
see equally as well by day as by night.
1t is still an undecided question whether
snakes ''charm" their prey or not. In the
western backwoods these old stories are
still believed in, the ignorant classes
cling with fondness to them and will
not learn anything different, and down
in our own hearts do we not cling to
them, more or less?
Do we not hate to give them up, and
is it not with little regret that we are
forced to acknowledge that the porcu-
pine does not shoot his quilts, that the
bird of paradise really has feet and legs,
and that our national bird, the white
headed eagle, is far from the noble bird
we once thought him to be?-Forest and

Thevenot, the French traveller, on his
return from the Orient in 1868, treated
his guests to after dinner coffee. To
Parisians this was merely an eccentricity.
that would not have become fashionable
but for a similar example set by Soliman
Aga, the gallant Turkish ambassador, in
1869. He enlisted the enthusiasm of
court ladies in favor of the black and
bitter liquor. Philosophers and littera-
teurs gladly gave in their adhesion.
Boileau, La Fontaine, Moiere, Voltaire
and the encyclopedias, together with
the chess players, found inspiration in
the coffee houses, which thenceforward
assumed conspicuous position in the So
cial life of Gallo cities. "Racine and
coffee will pass" is a prediction of
Madame de Sevigne as yet most unlikely
of fulfillment.-Richard Wheatley in

Vegetarians I'm History.

1t is evident from Arrian and Porphyry
that vegetarian orders of men were well
known in their time, and that they were
found in India in the time of Alexan-
dria- They existed in different orders
long before the time of Jesus in Egypt,
Syria, etc., and were known by the
names of Essenians, Essences, Esyans,
Coenobites and Faithists, ETC., and those
on Mount Carmel, of whom Elijah, the
prophet, was the chief rabbi, described
by Pliny, were known as Carmelites.
Whatever the name the principles were
all the same-all were vegetarian.
The Masonic order had its origin in
these ancient brotherhoods without
doubt. All the Masonic emblems of to-
day were known to these brotherhoods,
so also their passwords. Tanner in
