Many ladies have used u machines
twenty to thirty years in their family work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them a generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, and they are recognized every
where as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the mo. g." is the
result of our long experience. In COM
petition with the leading machines of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Paris Exposition Of 1889, as the best,
other machines receiving only compli-
mentary medals o gold, silver and bronze.
The Grand Prize was what all sought for,
and our machine was awarded it.

AN INDIAN FAKIR's TRICKS
After Inhaling Poisonous Fumes, He Rul
aKnife Through His Tongue.

After 1nhaling Poisonous Fumes, He Runs
aKnife Through His Tongue.
An account of the performances of the
Indian fakir, Soliman ben Aissa, is given
by the Vienna correspondent Of the Lancet.
The exhibition has very properly been for
bidden In public places in Vienna, but a
series Of private entertainments has been
arranged. An aristocratic audience was
present at the first of these. The fakir CON-
menced his performances by inhallng the
fumes of burnt powder prepared from ex-
tracts of snake and scorpion poisons, and by
certain quick movements OF the head he
produced a foaming at the mouth. After
these preliminaries needles and other sharp
instruments were thrust through various
parts of his body, including a stiletto foot
long and half an inch broad, which was
thrust through his tongue. Another feat
which is said to have caused great sensation
consisted in pulling forward the eyeball
and presenting it outside the orbit to the
view OF the audience between two fingers
He was 'tinvulnerable" also to the heat
produced by flaming torch held for q
minute and half against the under sur.
face Of his forearm. Chewing glass and
playing with poisonous snakes were among
his other tricks The Lancet recalls the ex-
periments Of the celebrated "Fire King
who many years ago created sensation In
London by advertising his power to drink
prussic acid without injury to himself The
history Of his exposure, sudden downfall,
and subsequent malignant challenge to Mr..
Wakley to fight duel form one of the most
interesting chapters in the older volumes Of
the Lancet The Lancet deprecates medical
men lending their countenance in any de-
gree to such dismal spectacles

SOMETHING new IN GLASS

Skylights Made With Metal Netting for
Base Arc Very Strong.
Under the name of wire-glass, a new in
vention has been brought on the market by
a Dresden firm which marks an important
development in the glass making industry.
The process of manufacture consists in fur
nishing glass in hot plastic condition with
a flexible metallic layer, iron wire netting,
for instance, which is completely enclosed
by the vitreous substance, and effectively
protected against exterior influences, as
rust, etc. The new glass, which has been
patented in the leading countries, possesses
much greater resisting power than the ordi-
nary metal, and is, it is claimed, Indifferent
to the most abrupt changes OF temperature,
and will even Withstand open fire.
A further proof of its toughness and dura-
bility is stated to be the fact that it may, in
a highly heated state, be sprinkled with
cold water without being materially dam
aged The glass is specially adapted for
skylights, the powerful resisting qualities
Of the material enabling the usual wire pro-
tectors to be dispensed with. As wire-glass
cannot be cut by the diamond, except un-
der the application of great force, and can.
not be broken without creating considerable
noise, the substance is claimed to be, in Q
measure, burglar proof

The same thing was observed with. the
powerful siren I have described, and the
fact is one of vital Importance in fog signal
ling. A wind may defect the sound so a
vessel near at hand may not hear it.
A great deal has been said about the loss
OF the Elder so near the powerful electric
light at ST. Catharine's Point, described as
"the most intensely brilliant light in exis-
tence, and one which the country as mari
time nation might feel proud to see upon its
shores. =" Contrasting the new luminary
with its predecessor, the latter was de-
scribed as an oil lamp of six concentric
wicks with a power of 730; while the new
illuminant sent forth an almost solar blaze

enthusiasms regarding the electric light
have been sobered down by experience I
knew from the first that it possessed con-
stituents more liable to be ruined by haze
and fog than those of either oil light or gas
light. 1t is, indeed, the very waves which
confer upon the electric light its peculiar
whiteness and brilliancy in clear weather
that are most useless in thick weather, these
being the first destroyed by minute sus-
pended particles. 1t was, however, posi-

Remarkable Coincidence Concerning Two
Letters That Went to Sea.
Among the stories Of extraordinary coinci-
dences, writes the London correspondent of
the Leeds Mercwry, not the least curious is
the history of letter, for the accuracy of
which he can vouch. A short time ago a
lady in London wished to write to friend
in America, whose address she did not
know. The only means she had of procur-
ing the address was to write to mutual
friend. who also lived in America This
she accordingly did, and the letter was
duly dispatched. The ship which carried
the letter was wrecked, and the mails for q
time lost. They were eventually recovered
and brought back to England, the letters,
now much damaged by sea water, being re-
turned through the dead letter Office to the
senders.
The letter in question was sent back to
the lady; who naturally examined it
infinitely. To her surprise she found that
another letter had become closely stuck to
it. Holding up the twofold missive to the
light, she deciphered the address on the
one which was stuck to her own. 1t was
letter addressed to the friend to whom she
had wished to write, and to discover whose
whereabouts her own letter had been
dispatched. Her letter thus literally
brought back Its own answer.
