Tho Small boy and ROLLER skates.

The roller skate has come to town agair
after a protsacted absence 1t is now to b<
seen on nearly every street in Brooklyn
worn by the children of the rich and those
OF the poor alike The rattle of the wooden
wheels on the pavement is heard early in
the morning before school, and until late
in the evening, after school has been dis
missed for the day The children seem to
take to it like duck to water, and their
bright eyes and ruddy cheeks are eloquent
witnesses to the healthfulness and vigor of
the sport.
The girls skate fully as well as the bovs.
but are perhaps not quite soreckless. The
pedestrian is in a continual state of trepi-
dation when the young brother is about.
The latter takes ii keen delight in bearing
down on the former until collision seems
imminent and then in swerying aside sud
denly, leaving the sttr.led traveller in a
much disturbed condition. 1t is ais, the
proper thing OF roller skates to come tear
ing down the itreet aefull speed aId then
around the dSrner in a wide, sweeping
curve, at the SINE time uttering q brill
cry of warning to the unwary.
One thing is very noticeable in the rs
prosperous portions of the town which rs
a touch of pathos. The child who is th
fortunate possessor of pair of skates, inA
stead of going off and having good time
by himself or herself. as might be expected,
usually exhibits a gene rous spirit to his
less fevored companion who has no roll2ss
Two children are often fseeD skating to-
gether, each one with a single skate. The
real fun of skasng must be certainly less
to the one who shares with his neighbor
but the enjoyment which ! > seems to take
in making some one else happy amply re-
pays him. With all his faults, the small
boy cannot be charged with selfishness.-

why Many Lamps Won't Burn.

Says lamp dealer: During each year ]
handle thousands of burners which are
sent to me for repairs, wicks or glasses
and it is surprising what small percent
age have any pretense to cleanliness; some,
indeed, are scrupulously clean on the out
side, polished up with paste. The inside,
however, is filthy and wonder how they
burn at all. Recently received circular
lamp burner to put right and found it
caked inside with wax from composite
candles, which were foolishly used to ig-
mite the wicks. My repairs consisted in
scraping off this wax and cleaning the
burner, after which the lamp burned per
fectly. This lamp had been in use less
than six weeks. Another burner brought
to me held inside store of dead flies 1--WE
counted forty odd). After removing these
and the dust the lamp was all right.
''It is all very well to say if this or if
that be done to Il lamp an accident may be
the result, but if lamp be tr ated as
common sense dictates, we know of moth
ing less dangerous. We have ourselves
been struck with astonishment when in
specting some dirty clogged and damaged
burner-not SO much at the burner itself
as at the fact that the people were able to
use it at all without accident. ."-London

Of the dainty raiment in which FOND
mothers love to clothe the baby For pre-
serving as far as possible the pretty frocks
and hannels various creeping skirts have
been dexised. The latest of these inven-
tions is from young mother, the wife of a
prominent artist, whose pictures show the
influence of a residence in India. The
same influence crops out in the baby's
creeping costume.
The garment is on the plan of the loose
trousers worn by women in India. 1t looks
like bag gathered into w..4stband, and
it has four hcmmed strings two inches wide
and half a yard long that serve as braces
In each corner of the bottom of the bag the
seam is left open for about four inches and
hemmed around for the foot holes. When

Alloys of Copper and Zinc.

We know some two dozen of alloys of
copper and zinc, differing in color from
gray and white to pale yellow, golden yell
low and reddish yellow, and possessin 3
very different properties as regards re-
sistance to strain, filing, turning, polish
ing. melting and casting, rolling, hammer
ing, wire drawing, etc. There is kind of
German brass containing nearly equal
portions of each metal: it is yellow like
other kinds, but it cannot be drawn into
wire, and it cracks under the rollers. Sew
enty-fve parts of copper and twenty-five
parts of zinc give pale yellow brass very
fit for rolling; sixty-six parts of copper
and thirty four of zinc give an alloy which
is very good also for rolling, hammering
and wire drawing. It is very ordinary
kind of brass, largely used throughout
Europe and America. ca.-Chambers' Jour

Claims Against the Government.

Never was anybody SO pestered by duns
as Uncle Sam. Claimants who say that he
owes them money are always swarming
about the Capitol when congress is in ses-
sion, while thousands are clamoring con-
tinually by letter for payment Some of
them are cranks and not few of them are
frauds, but many are hpneatS >cr15itors,
hopeful or despairing Of settlement. Ma
merous are the bad debts recorded against
the government, which has been accused
often of never paying anything unless it
was compelled to pay.
True stories Of l.ves ruined, fortunes
wrecked and homes destroyed in the prose-
cution of just claims against this govern
ment would fill Volumes Unpaid victims
haunt the legislative lobbies from congress
to congress, pursuing the delinquent debtor
with never dying hope, while scores of
others are -elegated to the poorhouses. and
the lunatic asyluns. Some Of the claims
are handed down by the creditors from
generation to generation, legacies usually
productive Of misery and unhappiness.- -
