In case of the incandescent machine,
however, the field magnets serve only
to force an incoming discharge to break

Joseph Murphy, the Irish comedian,
is an enthusiastic angler, and never
misses an opportunity TO go on fish
ing trip.
One day he went out on fishing ex-
cursion with friend who was full of
bright ideas in the angling line. As
the two paused at an inviting spot and
prepared to cast one of Murphy s
friends bright idea struck him. Pick
ing up one of pile of shingles lying
on the bank he tied line around it,
put on hook, which he haited with a
live frog, and threw it into the water
The shingle foated on the surface OF
the water.
Now, joe" said Murphy's friend,
''if big fish bites he will try to go tc
the bottom after he finds himself
hooked. and the shingles full broad
side will offer such resistance that he
will be held where he is We can sci
a number of these lines and then GO
further along and fish for perch.
When we come back we will probably
find big catch" This struck the
comedian as great idea, and they SCI
out eighteen of these shingle lines be
fore they left the spot Then they
went along and had great luck catch
ing perch. But what do you suppose
we found when We returned to oul
trapsf' Murphy asks, We found oul
eighteen frogs calmly amusing them
selves on eighteen shingles "-Chicagc

Tom Corwin's disappointment.

There is something pathetic in the
failure of the wits of political life.
Thomas Corwin never ceased to at
tribute to his reputation of being funny
his inability to compass the highest
honors. He felt that his abilities and
services entitled him TO any honor with
in the gift of the people. He rose to
be secretary of the treasury in Fillmores
cabinet. but that did not satisfy him.
He died feeling that if he had not been
so funny, if he had not INDUCED in his
exquisite ridicule of the Michigan militia
general who attacked Gen. Harrison.
he might have been president. Corwin
was immeasurably greater than his rep
utation. and his fun almost always
helped out his serious argument.-Har

The rIetIm of Excessive Industry.


Some men work because they love
work and hate play. They do not
shine in society; they have no CONVEX
sation; the fair sex are not passing fair
to their distorted vision; the white
washed ceiling of their Office and its
shabby fifth are more attractive to
them than landscapes or Itali,.1 skies,
md they are under the agreeable thrall
Of no diverting hobbies.
In heavens name let such men work
all through the day if they like it.
They accumulate immense fortunes,
and even though they may be misery
in their lifetime, when they die some
one benefits by their millions.
A man of this kind on an enforced
holiday is very COMPASSIONATE object
l remember one such who, while
driving through some of the most en-
trancing scenery of our land on fair
summer dar hid his face behind a
journal of the money market all the
time. His doctor had told him he
would kill himself If he did not take a
change. He obeyed the letter of the
injunction, but not the spirit. And he
did really die a little while after of
paralysis of the brain, or something OF
the kind, due to excessive industry

There has been considerable discus
sion of late on the probable usefulness
of an electric tricycle., and it is stated
that the invention of such a machine is
now an established fact. This, accord
ing TO report, has been affected by the
use of a form of storage battery much
lighter than the kind hitherto used
Several of these placed in a light, port
able box are sufficient to drive the ma
chine with an ordinary load about q
hundred miles at the rate Of eight miles

Herr Blowitz, the Paris correspon-
dent of The London Times (his salary
is $50, 900 yearD, is the largest sal

as an editorial writer for The Daily

One of three women who was visited,
and who was supporting an invalid hus-
band, a little boy and baby, was not more
than IS years old Her home was one small
room. about l2x14, on the ground floor OF
a queer, rambling old tenement house.
whose only means of entrance was through
an arched passageway which led back and
opened into small court yard, around
which the buildings rose four stories high
on every side. She sat stitching away on
the piles of trousers, rocking the cradle
with one foot while the little child was try
ing to feed himself at the table from loaf
of rye bread and some molasses- The oaoy
woke with a cry, and as she nursed the
child from her famished breast she told the
story of her working eighteen and twenty
hours a day to keep her little family III
eood and pay her rent. There has never
been any kind of organization among the
tailoresses, aud they stand in mortal terror
of doing anything that could imperii thsaI
