And He Kept at Work.

Dr.. Batty luke, the eminent Edin-
burgh psychologist, had a laughable ex-
perience the other day. A Scotch la
borer was engaged in the grounds of the
doctors asylum, near Edinburgh, and
had received inJunctions to pay no at
tention whatever to the remarks of the
patients who noticed him. Some little
time after DR.. Tuke, looking at the
progress of the work, mildly suggested
an alteration. The workman dug stolid-
ly on and never lifted his head. The
doctor raised his voice; the man dug en-
ergetically. The doctor threatened,
stormed and finally thundered out. "Do

shaking his head sorrowfully, exclaimed,

Mixed at the Font.

One of the queerest incidents that ever
befell Catholic priest in the perform
ance of his duties occurred at the old
cathedral more than week ago and was
witnessed by a large crowd who were
viewing the decorations. The baptismal
ceremony was being performed at the
font and the recipients of the sacrament
were Il pair of lusty lunged twins. One
of the youngsters had come into the
world weakly and was baptized instant
ly by an attendant.
The priest got wind of the matter, and
when the time came for performing the
ceremony asked the godnother which
was the regenerated babe. Consterna-
ton reigned supreme. The twins had
got hopelessly mixed. as usual, and the
similarity of appearance rendered iden-
tifcation impossible. The nurse was
called in and eyed the babies for birth
marks, but. gave it up in despair. The
priest ended the dilemma by giving both
the youngsters conditional baptism and
the family went home satisfied.-St
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Electricity in Arms ,Iaking

The electric current has been utilized
since. 1889 at the small arms factory at
St. Etienne for annealing the steel wire
of which the hammer springs of the rifle,
1886 pattern, are made. These springs
are manufactured of steel wire, 7
millimeters thick, cut in lengths of 800
meters; the wire is rolled spirally, and a
current of twenty-three alnperos is
passed through it. Heating is rapidly
effected; when it is judged sufficient the
circuit is closed, and the hammer spring
is dropped into water tank
One man can anneal twenty springs
in three minutes, equivalent to about
2.400 per day. Electric annealing being
clean in operation and cheap will no
doubt soon be applied in numerous cases
analogous to the one Indicated Boston

The Doctor Used a Chisel.

A case like that in which the old Lin
coin county doctor smashed bean pot
that had fallen down over a mans head
like a hangman's cap and charged fee
of two dollars for it came up in Ellis
worth the other day. A schoolgirls
hnger became ineNtricably caught in a
knot hole and everybody was excited
Instead of sending for carpenter they
got physician. who coolly performed a
neat job with ehisel and bit, without
shedding drop of blood, while school
maams and pupils wondered at the re-
sources of modern medical science

The Greatest building in the World

The Greatest building in the World.
An astonishing feature of the Colum-
bian exposition will be one of the palaces
grouped in the heart of the fair grounds.
1t is the Manufactures building 1t will
bear the same relation to this exposition
as the Eiffel tower did to that of Paris
i'll 1899. and indeed its possible use as
vantage point from which to see the fair
grounds has terminated in the negative
the discussion for and against the con-
struction in Chicago of. a rival to the
great tower of Paris. This greatest of
all the exposition buildings, and of the
buildings of the world, will present to
Lake Michigan facade of such length
as to suggest the wall of a city, yet it is
SO admirably designed, SO light and
graceful in it's effect upon the vision,
that its true extent can only be compre-
hended when its dimensions are ex-
pressed in figures and by comparisons.
1t is one-third of mile long, and to
compass it round about is to walk a
mile The roof of it is l 1888 by 7S8 feet,
and the span of the dome, the largest
ever attempted. is 388 feet The roof is
230 feet from the ground, and the build
ing has forty acres of ground floor. Two
of the vast machinery halls of the Paris
exposition could be wheeled through it,
and the Auditorium, the building of
which Chicago is most proud, could be
pushed under this great roof, tower and

Al Battlefield ReIic.

A valuable battlefield relic was recent
ly found near the city. 1t is an eighteen
carat gold case watch, manufactured by
the Tobias Watch company, Liverpool,
the case being No. 3,86S. It was plowed
up one day last week by Mr.. Davis on
the old breastworks in Coke's district,
Cobb county. The case is heavy and
comparatively uninjured, but the rust
has completely eaten the hinges up. The
covers were both found, but were sepa-
rated from the case. 1t is heavily jew
eled and was no doubt a very fine watch.
The owner is supposed to have been
hlled.-Atlanta Constitution.

OF our country need to learn is not so
much how TO get money as how to save
1t or spend it. wisely. Most people can
