She Wanted the Pin Badly.

I've heard of a girl pawning her en-
gagement ring to buy her lover Christ
mas present, but | never heard ANYTHING
stranger than story told me while out
west recently" said the barber, as he strop-
ped his razor the other day.
In combination jewelry and pawn
shop diamond pin was exhibited for sale.
1t caught the fancy of a young lady. The
more she gazed on the pin the more she
wanted it for the man she loved.
she went home and got all the money
she possessed. Coming back to the store.
she asked the price of the pin. and found
II few dollars more than she had.
Haven't you any old gold that you can
turn into cash?' asked the jeweler. I'VE
viii buy old gold at any time"
The girl thought a minute. Suddenly
she frightened up and took a set of teeth
from her mouth. The plate was of solid
gold.
Can't you use that?" she asked the
pawnbroker?
Il shall have to weigh it, he said.
''All right"
"And to weigh it I shall have to knock
the teeth off,
KNOCK them off. then"
The broker did so, weighed the plate and
found that its value made up the lack and
ninety-three cents.
The girl took her ninetv-three cents and
the diamond, and went out with hand
kerchIef over her mouth.-Bcston Herald.

Feathers and Lead.

Which Is the heavier, pound of feathers
or pound of leads This was favorite
question with school committeeman" OF
the olden time, and the first rash answer
used almost always To be, "A pound OF
lead!" Then from the older pupils would
come the reply, Both alike" If this ques.
ton were asked today our old time quer;st
might receive a decided surprise, for the
pound of feathers could easily be proved to
be the heavier. A simple experiment is all
the evidence needed.
With any accurate scales weigh ont
pound of lead, using ordinary shot for con.
venience. Pour the shot into one of the
pans of a balance.
For the feathers, light muslin bag will
be needed, and care must be taken that
feathers and bag together do not weigh
more than a pound When the bag OF
feathers is put into the other pan of the
balance, the beam WILL after a few oscilla
tions, come to rest exactly level.
So far, the verdict, Both alike" seem.
TO be proved. But place the balance upon
the receiver of an air pump. with lead and
feathers undisturbed. Cover the whole
with the glass bell jar and exhaust the
air. Slowly the feathers sink and the
lead kicks the beam" The pound OF
feathers is heavier than the pound OF
lead!
The truth is that what we called q
pound was not such in fact. For the
atmosphere buoys up everything within il
in proportion TO the bulk of the object, and
the feathers, being of greater bulk than
the lead, are supported by the air TO con
siderably greater extent than the lead
Removed from this supporting medium,
their true weight is made evident

Right Hand and Left.

This curious little extract, which reads
somewhat like riddle, comes from let
ter written by DIR. Franklin to the Ameri-
can museum. The learned doctor is speak
ing on subject about which there is a
great diversity of opinion. He is arguing
the cause of the left hand, and contends
that she is entitled to equal consideration
with the right. That she ought to be
equally instructed, in order that if any
thing should happen to her sister she
might be as competent for useful employ
ment as the right hand would be if de-
prived of the assistance of the left:
There are two sisters of US, and the Two
eyes of man do not resemble nor are capa-
bic of being on better terms with each
other than my sister and myself, but for
the partiality of our parents, who make
the most injurious distinctions between us
From my infancy / have been led TO con
slider my sister as a being of more elevated
rank. Nothing was spared in her educa-
ton, while / was suffered to grow up
without the least instruction. She had
masters to teach her writing, drawing and
other accomplishments; but if by chance
touched pencil, pen or aneedle was
bitterly rebuked and more than once
have been beaten for being awkward and
wanting a graceful manner. 1t is true my
sister associated me with her upon some
occasions, but she always made it a point
of taking the lead. calling upon me only
from necessity or to figure at her side"
But in spite Of DR.. Franklin's argument.
the left hand has never yet taken equal
place with the right. and. for many reasons.
it seems hardly probable that she ever

Men to Look Out For.

New York is infested with small peddlers
who are ostensibly trying to earn an honest
living, but who are professional beggars
and thieves. The police find this class a
difficult and annoying one to grapple with.
The other day a friend of mine stepped
from his Office into the hall for minute
and seeing a match and feather buster ped
der coming from the direction of his office,
hastily entered and found missing pair of
gold trimmed glasses he had carelessly de
posted on top of his morning papers q
minute before. He started after the young
peddler, but the tLief had disappeared. The
gentleman complained to the nearest police
man and declared that he could identify
the thief on sight.
THAT Will do no good, replied the officer.
81 couldn't arrest him if you should point
him out now We might collar him and
see if he had the glasses on his person. He
probably wouldn't have them, and | would
have to let him 60, taking the risk at
tached of an unwarranted arrest. If you
got a warrant and had him arrested you
couldn't prove anything and the court
would discharge him; so you would have
the time and trouble for nothing. New
