Could Read Long-Hand.

A newspaper woman has laundress
who is one of the brightest, wittiest
creatures that ever lived, and it never
occurred to her that the colored indi-
vidual who honored her by doing up
her clothes was not able to read and
write, as she had always appeared above
the average in intelligence. Consequent
~ when Mrs. W left a note on the
bundle of clothes explaining something
she wished done it never occurred to
her that possibly Annie could not I'M
derstand word of it.
Therefore, when she returned and
the neighbor in the next room related
the following incident she was more
than astonished.
1t seems that Annie had tapped on
the door and in voice little less high
and mighty than usual had remarked:
"'Scuse me, Miss Lizzie, but will you
read this yer note of Mrs. W? OF
course, can read, but Mrs. W is SO
smart she only writes shorthand. -

One of the most promising methods
which have been devised for the utiliza-
ton of sawdust is in use in Germany,

ness, hardness of exterior and capabil-

claimed for them that they are practi-

There is often smart pile of money In

HER REAL OPINION.
What q Pretty Girl Was Heard to Observe
FeelinKly.


Most Of Us have not the courage OF
our own convictions or opinions, but
follow blindly in the wake Of others
who have set the pace for Us, says the
Philadelphia Times. We always adj
mire the outspoken sentiments, but are
afraid to venture ourselves for fear OF
wounding public opinion. A pretty girl
who is considered one of Philadelphia's
most charming buds, with Madonna
face and an air of sanctity that is much
at variance with her real nature,
shocked but at the same time stirred up
a party of young folks who make so
ciety fads their laws by announcing In
public that she despised German opera
81 know it is very bad form TO say so,
but ! do. think there is ten times
more harmony in one line Of the 'Mil1a~
do than in the whole opera Of Lohen-
grin always excepting the wedding
march. ! think the fashionable hand
shake is silly and unnatural, and lore
peanuts" With these three terrible
announcements she gazed calmly on
the astonished hearers, and expected
right royal drubbing until, 70 her sur
prise, the most punctilious one Of tho
lot said in a half-frightened way. "a II

IN HIS WFE'S CLOTHES.
The Sorry Plight of Railway Official In
Belgium.


A goat has often put man at dis
advantage, but seldom so effectually as
in case recently reported by foreign
correspondent of New York news
paper.
Station Master Marchand, at the little
village of Godaryville, In Belgium, has a
goat which has the popularity of al
lowing only Mime. Marchand to milk
her
A short time ago Nine. Marchsnd
went to market before breakfast The
station master was in haste to begin
his daily duties, and there was moth
ing in the house to eat He approached
the goat with pail on his arm, and the
goat, as usual, began TO kick and back.
In despair, he decided to masquerade as
his wife, and humbug the goat into be-
ing MIXED.
He put on his wife's skirts, waist and
bonnet, and returned to the shed The
goat was docile, and he began milking
her. His preparations, however, had
consumed more time than he realized,
and before the pail was half full be was
astonished to hear the whistle of the
first morning express, which it was his
most important duty 20 meet.
He dropped the pail, ran to the house,
exchanged his wife's bonnet for bis red
and blue cap of Office, and with flying
skirts hurried to the station platform.
The sight Of an individual with a full
beard and flowing skirts and a station
masters cap dazed everybody on the
train, and gave the porters at the sta
ton the idea that Marchand had gone
crazy. A policeman was summoned,
and the station master was marched
off to Jail.
To the railway authorities, who be-
gan an investigation of his conduct,
Marchand explained the responsibility
of the obstreperous goat for his I'M
precedented performance. He was
punished by temporary removal from
Office.

BOMBARDING THE CLOUDS.
Small Bombs Tor the Use of Farmers
Needing Rain.


A company engaged in the manufac-
ture of explosives has for sale now
small bombs about the size of frank
furter sausages, with which the far
mer can bring down small showers of
rain whenever he sees clouds over his
land.
The constituents of the bomb are di-
vided into two parts, liquid and solid,
which are both separately non
explosive These can be kept separate
until the time comes to use them, when
they are mixed.
The solid part is about an inch in di-
ameter and eight inches in length, and
is wrapped in cotton These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes, each hold
ing ten. A small tin measure, contain
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box. 1t is graduated to show the guam
tity needed to saturate the bomb to tlAs
exploding point
Five or fifty bombs may be used, ac-
cording to the amount of rain needed or
detonation required How the farmer
is TO know how much detonation Is
needed is a dubious matter. The bombs
are tied in bundle, a tirne-fuse IS at

from mortar and at the passing cloud

Taking Advantage of an Hiiterate Mans
Ignorance.


Ignorance.
During the recent high water, when
the flooding Of the bottom lands along
the Missouri was the topic of converse
ton with every one, party OF gentle
men were seated around comfortable
fire in an independence Office telling
stories of food and fish. One, a noted
jurist, told this, which he claims is
Gospel fact
It was during the food of 1881,
when so much of the bottom lands were

Kansan, the sole proprietor OF an
eighty-acre plat, stood on a mound sur
veying the great lake covering his real
estate possessions, and, Disguised,
swore TO sell, trade or give away every
rod of that "dod-blasted bottom"
The opportunity soon came. Passing
along the highway, this Kansan met
another leading a calf. 1t was not
much of a calf, but still the Kansan,
who must have been a Yankee, smelt
trade. To the owner of the calf he adj
vanced and the following dialogue took
place:
Stranger, want er trade?'
''Wall, might; what yer got?'
"Well, I'll give yer clean deed to
forty acres of Kaw bottom land fer that
er calf"
The papers were drawn up and the
calf was delivered, and soon after the
Kansan told the story to friend, with
this remark: when I Earned that the
