A New Tent for Austrlans.

Several Prussian officers went to vi
emma two weeks ago to show the Emper-
or Franz Joseph and his generals the
tent used in the German army. and to
explain its advantages The tent is
made to cover and to be carried by two
men, Each occupant on breaking camp
packs away on his person one half of the
cloth. three sticks with iron screws,
three hooked pegs and few yards of
stout cord. which are the constituent
parts of his share of the tent. The cloth
of the tent is also used by the soldiers to
protect them from the rain. The Au.
strian emperor, in Il special audience,
expressed his satisfaction with the exhi-
bition of the tent, which, it is to be ex-
pected, will be adopted shortly by the
Austrian army.-London Letter

A Rare Piece of Wood.

A singularly beautiful oak plan,S-in-
tended as Il jamb of clothes closet
came to the Pulitzer building recently.
Its rare markings evidently escaped the
eye Of the sawmill man. It is about
feet long and IA inches wide. Near the
outer edge the longitudinal grain of the
wood resembles ridges of sand on the
seashore. The middle is combination
of birds eyes" that at distance ap-
pear to stand out in relief, and elliptical
lines delicately shaded from deep
brown to white. The gradation of the
coloring is exquisite, and looks to be the
result of art rather than of nature. The
eyes are perfect and resemble inlaid
mosaics. There is not split nor flaw
in the entire plank. Its beauty lies in
the fact that the markings are finer than
those found in maple. and it has all the
satin like appearance of that beautiful
wood. Instead of adorning the mantel
of broad throated fireplace its prosaic
place will be as the guardian of over
coats and Y hats.-New York World.

Unique Pipe Laying.

The Superior Water, Light and Power
company have been engaged for several
months in the work of extending the
twenty-four inch intake pipe from West
Superior to Lake SupeXor for water.
The entire distance from the pump sta
ton to the crib, which rests in forty feet
of water in Lake Superior, is S55 feet,
and 1850 feet outside of Minnesota
Point. The entire 1850 feet of lake
pipe was jointed above the surface of
the water and hung suspended in spaced
slings. The object was to cut the slings
and allow the entire section of more
than half a mile to drop into the water.
1t was not intended to attempt the
feat for several days, but the approach
OF northeaster fastened matters The
job was done hurriedly, but with distin-
guished success. When everything was
IN readiness the signal was given, and

neously. The great black tube. 10000
tons weight, instantly broke away evenly
and dropped squarely into position at
the bottom of the lake.-Cor. St. Paul

Here Is true, strange story of Adolphe
Belot, the writer of a shelfful of novels,
who died a few days ago. About fort
night before his death he called at Dem
tu's to settle an agreement for a new
story. When the matter had been ar
ranged he suddenly exclaimed: II want
you to add another clause to that agree
ment." "What is that" Il want you
to undertake, when l die, to pay for my
funeral" but, my dear SIR" replied
the interlocutor in astonishment, what
ever are you thinking about? We could
not think of inserting such clause in
an agreement for new book" But"
objected Belot, walking up and down
the room with his hands in his pockets,

But it is impossible" Every well,
then," Belot resumed; 'shall we manage
it another way? Will you undertake to
pay thousand francs to the person who
will present demand for that sum, in
my name. the day after my death:" The
publishers were still astonished, but they
undertook to make the payment, the
partner with whom the conversation
took place saying it hardly mattered,
since the obligation would not fall upon
him, but upon his successors. How do
you know" said Belot, as he went out;
''you may have to pay good deal sooner
than you expect" And so it happened.

A Big Book.

An enormous volume. thrice as large
as the bulkiest family Bible that ever
graced marble topped table in a coun-
try parlor, has reached the Capitol. In
gold letters on its broad back are the
words. History of Members, Second
Session, Fifty-frst Congress-. In this
book will be recorded not the private
history of members, but all their public
acts. Every time a member votes, every
time he introduces bill or petition, and
every time he is recorded as not voting
or paired will be recorded in the huge
book, and future biographers will find
already prepared for their use a vast
amount of data. If the size Of the VOL
ume is any indication of its importance
it ought to be preserved in treasury
vault.-Washingto Post.

An Italian has just arrived in London
with an instantaneous, self expanding,
life saving belt," by which he expects to
enrich himself from the pockets of the
people who are nervous at sea. It has
already been adopted by the principal
steamship companies of Italy. The
unique feature Of this new life saving
belt is that it may be worn around the
body while promenading about the decks
during the day, and is not even taken
off in bed. It weighs about twice as
much as one of the ordinary canvas or
leather belts sold for general use.
In its finished state it is about the last
thing in the world that prudent man
would place confidence in if he was to
attempt to jump for his life from the
deck of sinking vessel into the sea.
But the moment the belt touches the
water two chemical substances contained
in it are instantly united, and it begins
to initiate with gas. What these SUBJ
stances are is the inventors secret. He
claims that one belt will keep the most
heavily clothed person afloat for forty
eight hours. For ladies the belts are
made Of silk, for men of canvas.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

"Perceptible Chill in the Air."

The record for cold weather for the
winter was broken Wednesday morn
ing. when the atmosphere was intensely
frigid. The air was SO full of frost that
the appearance of a fog was given. The
lowest point reached by the mercury in
this city, and reported, was 40 degs. be-
low zero. It required the thickest kind
of clothing and vigorous exercise upon
the part of pedestrians in the early
morning hours to keep comfortable.
At Shirley it was AZ degs below zero,
A degs. at Eddington, SO degs. at Sebec,
and the same relative report comes
from many other places in this vicinity.
The weather was the chief topic of con-
versation. During the day it grew con-
siderably warmer, but there was very
perceptible chill in the air, and late in
the afternoon it was again quite cold.
The night was very frigid. Bangor

LOwell's Great LAWYER.

Gen. Buffers voice is not so powerful
as it used to be. In fact, it is difficult
to hear him dozen feet away, though
he occasionally fires up and some of his
old time force presents itself. He still
relies considerably on the sympathy of
the jury, especially when he is defending
a comely woman. His method of argu-
ing his case is the same in substance as
it always has been. Plenty of wit and
humor run through his speech, and these,
with all the pathos his case will permit,
combine to make his always eloquent
pleas more effective. His favorite atti-
tude while addressing the jury is to brace
his broad shoulders against the clerks
desk. His hands are deeply thrust into
into his pockets; he seldom gestures

An Exhilarating Journey.

The only connection between Rogers
City and Cheboygan = two Michigan
towns-during the six months exile of
the former town when navigation closes,
is by a stage line sixty-five miles long,
and the grizzled old man who drives
saves sixteen miles by whizzing ride
across Black lake, six miles long. The
ride is as thoroughly dangerous us exhil-
srating, and six people nearly lost their
lives there the other day The horses
dashed into an airhole hear the middle
OF the lake. and the stage went to the
bottom. Fortunately it struck sand
bar, and the passengers rescued them
selves and the horses.

A Huge Devilfsh.

Sunday while little boy was wan
dering on the beach at Island Cove he
was startled by seeing large and strange
looking object approaching the land
wash. The little fellow raced home,
stating that something came after him
out of the water. This was sufficient to
attract older persons to the beach, where
they found huge squid or cuttlefsh
high and dry. Its extreme length was
thirty-two feet. the tentacles alone meas
uring twenty-one feet. The body was
much larger than that of an ordinary
horse, and the pelt three inches in thick
ness. It was cut up before being re-
moved. We believe that this is the
third cuttlefish which has come to grief
in this manner in this bay within the
last few years, one having become strand
ed in Smiths sound, and another was
similarly unfortunate near Catalina

Passes for "Deadhends,"

Had you gone into any of the Offices of
presidents of great transportation COM
panies recently you could not help MOTTO

Autographed, which Uttered the desks Of
the presidents and the immediate sub
ordinate officers. The presidents of all
the railroads, the presidents of all the
express companies and of great insur-
ance companies, and all other men influ-
ential in the business world, all had a
sachelful of these prettily engraved
cards. They were the annual passes
which entitle them to travel on every
road in the country gratis. These passes
came from all parts of the country, and
the filing out of the list takes the time
of one clerk one month before the be-
ginning of every year.
OF course the presidents of the rail-
roads coming into New York and the
presidents of the express companies here
have to reciprocate, and they have also
sent out wagon load of these annual

this worried him considerably, and they
think it highly probable that he has now
assumed another name and is living in

his mother is aware of this and has COM

When the Planets Will Be brightest.

When the Planets Will Be brightest.
At what time in 1891 will the princi-
pal planets be in their brightest phase Of
the year?
Venus is now at about that stage. She
is the morning star, however. That is
to say, she rises and sets before the sun.
At about 5 o'clock in the morning she
will be in view in the southeast, and will
be visible from that time until day
dawns. Two months hence Saturn will
be at his brightest stage. He will rise
at that time in the east just as the sun
sets. Jupiter will be at his best early in
September, appearing in the southeast
after sundown.-St. Louis Globe Demo

says that the view from the top was the
most extensive one he has yet seen, al
though he has ascended the Traunstein
fifty-one times. The tourists could not
remain long at the summit, as the north
wind was very sharp. The descent took
only an hour and quarter. The Traun-
stein peak is $50 feet high.-Vienna

Frenchmen in favor Of Russia took place
recently in the Brest theatre, where sew

and a lieutenant Of the Russian battle
ship Minin were watching the perform

The Young King of Servia.

King Alexander is now IA years Of
age, and is rapidly developing both
physically and intellectually. He is
only allowed to receive such visitors as
are agreeable to the regents, as the fol-
lowing instance will show: The Metro
politan Michael attempted lately to in
trude on the royal presence without hav-
ing announced his intention to the re-
gents. The consequence was that he
was not received. and since that time he
has not appeared at the konak. King
Alexander will come of age on Aug. 2,
1894. He is now going through course
OF military studies, and his present tutor
is Col. Miskovie. The king is generally
present at the ordinary military drills,
when he is placed in command of a COM
pany. He is also in the habit of driving
out to the park of Castle Toptshider,
and on these drives he not infreuuently
passes his mothers carriage returning to
town.
The queen drives herself. Her son, in
the dress of colonel, salutes her in mill
tary fashion, and the queen in recogni-
ton waves her hand. A little while
ago. when King Milan was driving with
his son, the two lnonarchs chanced to
pass the queen, but on perceiving his ex-
majesty she turned away her head, and
the salute was not returned. King
Alexander is in constant correspondence
with his father, and writes either in
Servlan or French. These letters are
not altogether without political signif-
cance. Queen Nathalie receives large
number of visitors, and her salons are
the resort of politicians of all shades and
parties Occasionally she is present at
the theatre, where she occupies the court
box; but this only happens when it is
known that King Alexander will not at
tend the play.-Galignani's Messenger.
