About Furnaces.

In placing your furnace in your new
house, always remember that lateral
pipes never give out much heat The
hot airmust invariably ascend to pro

giving out splendid heat, when in the
extension library, where warmth lisp
ticularly desired, the air Of the room is
hardly; affected at all. In large coun-
try house it would really be better to
have two small furnaces rather than
one large one. Less coal would be
used to more purpose, and they would
not be much more troublesome to tend
than is one. But if you have two, do
not make the mistake of putting them
side by side, as was done in very large
house near New York. This simply in
tensifed the heat in the same part Of the
house without carrying it into the wings,
where it was chiefly needed.-New York

The Ancient Schoolmaster.

A roll measuring about fifteen feet
long, containing poems hitherto un-
known of Herodius in Seazon or cho.
hambic meter, has just been exhibited
in the manuscript department of the
British museum. One Of the poems is
entitled ''The Schoolmaster." A mother
appears before the master called LAM
priscus. She is accompanied by her son,
and entreats the pedagogue to fog him
within an inch Of his life because the
boy is the terror of her existence. He
has nearly ruined her by playing pitch
and toss, he associates with the lowest
characters of the town, and if he is
asked to spell the name of Maron he
turns it into Simon; in fact, he has en-
tirely got beyond the control of his par
ents. Lampriscus therefore fetches his
instrument of correction, which is made
of cowhide, and applies it without
mercy. The boy bowls and promises to
be good, and when the schoolmaster
thinks that the youth has had enough
he tells the mother to keep him close
prisoner for some time to COMEDIAN

A Snake Swallows Five Turkevs.

The two Shafer brothers, who live on
the east side Of the Usage river and
some distance below Castle Rock, had
an adventure with blacksnake the
ether day. A dog had chased rabbit
in hollow log, and one of the brothers
reached in the hole a little way, when
he was instantly bitten on the hand.
Fearing that snake had inflicted the
wound, the other brother fastened to
house and returned with a bucket of
fresh milk and an ak, the former to be
used to counterfeit the poison and the
latter as means of Investigating the in
terror of the log. After some work the
log was split open and huge black
snake measuring over nine feet emerged.
The serpent was soon killed, and after
ward cut open. His stomach contained
five young turkeys and seven turkey
eggs. The brother who W as bitten ex-
perienced no serious results from the
wound.-Jeferson City Tribune.

Almost Side by Side.

Two sailing vessels recently lay in the
Mersey that had left Liverpool on the
same day last year, and after voyages Of
nearly $1,000 miles for each returned to
port at Liverpool almost side by side.
They left Oct. for Astoria, Ore, and
arrived there March 1 or 2, having been
in company with each other for a large
portion of the voyage. They were in
sight for forty days. Both captains had
their wives on board, and during the
forty days of proximity one of the cap
tains and his wife enjoyed a Sunday
dinner on the other vessel, the compli-
ment being returned the following Sun
day by the other captain. s.sr.
Both vessels left Astoria April 8, but
this time one vessel sailed for Dunkirk
and the other for Havre. They left
these ports at nearly the same time, and
entered the Mersey within hailing dis
lance after voyage Of 342 days.-Lon-

No Use for III onest Men

The National Weighing Machine COM
pany has, it is said, just bought the right
to use q certain lock on the money
pouches Of their machines, for which
they will pay the inventor the sum of
$4,000. This is q safety lock, and its
purpose is to prevent robbery Of the ma
chine by the employees who are en-
trusted with collecting the earnings of
the silent money makers daily. There
are 10000 of these machines now III use
In the United States, and the company is
getting ready to put 10, 900 more on the
market When penny is dropped in
the slot it will roll into a little iron box
and there remain until the collector calls
during the day.
The collector will be furnished with
a seamless bag, the metal mouth of
which he will insert into an orifice in
the cash box. There is q registering
lock in the mouth of this bag, the reg
istered number Of which is recorded in
the company's Office before the collector
receives it. Inserting the bag properly,
he turns the key which he has Just one
quarter turn. This releases a concealed
key in the bag, which is guided into a
keyhole in the cash box. A second quar-
ter turn unlocks the cash box, and tho
money rolls into the collectors pouch
without his being able to touch it. A
third quarter turn withdraws the con-
cealed key, and the last turn releases the
pouch, with the contents of the cash box

Infringing on an Ancient idea,

"There is no new thing under the

ground up by them and sold in tubes as

preserved linen bandages in which a
high priest and keeper Of the baths had
been preserved to be shown at some con-
versazione or lecture in the Midlands.
The texture and quality excited great
admiration among the audience, which
eliminated in something like astonish-

facturer that this fabric, woven perhaps
by a contemporary of Moses, contained
the same disposition of threads which he
had Independently invented and patented
only year ago.-Pall Mall Gazette.

HE members of the Trades and
Labor Assembly, Of Minneapolis,
are justly indignant at the Circuit
West because Of it's ungracious re-
marks relative to the banquet
given the delegates to the recent
Alliance convention. At the
weekly meeting of the Assembly
the following paragraph was in
corporated in the report of the
committee on banquet:
But every picture has its dark side.
and our humble efforts to treat these
weather-beaten friends from the coun-
try like brothers has brought forth an
editorial in the Great West that the la
Dor organizations of MINNEAPOLIS NAV
consider glowing tribute to their hos
pitality. AS it may be of interest in
the future, we give it place in our re-
port. The most damnable part of this
mess OF pious slime is that it gives the
Impression Of our banquet being a
drunken revel, when, as a matter of
fact, not cigar nor a drop of liquor of
any kind were furnished. The fact
that the meal consumed one hour and
the addresses four hours is pretty good
evidence of the manner in which it was
conducted.

Weighing Mosquitoes.

It is told of a great author that he was
wont to amuse himself by jumping over
chair. But | have a correspondent
who, as the following shows, amuses
himself by weighing mosquitoes:
81 have recently weighed some mos
quitoes of this locality on sensitive
balance The average weight of one
mosquito was 1877 milligrams- that
is, it would take 100000 to weigh a
pound.
Mosquitoes which had filled them
selves with human blood were found to
weigh about three times as much as
others, showing that they had swallowed
twice their weight in blood. 2" Boston

REFERRING to the editorial para
graph in the UNION few weeks
since with reference to the repeal
of chapter 80 of the general laws
of 1881 by the last legislature, the
Pine County Pioneer says:
Brother Dunn usually hits the nail
squarely on the head, but in this par
ticular instance it looks to US as though
he was mistaken. The law of 1887,
known as the High License Law, pro-
vides that no license shall be granted
in a city of over 10000 inhabitants for
less than 81 900, or in cities or villages
of less than 10000 for less than $500.
The law does not state the minimum
period for which license may be
granted, but it does state specifically
that license shall not be granted for
longer period than tne year. Thus it
appears that it was the intention of the
legislature to allow municipalities the
power of granting license for less than
one year, but only on the payment OF
license for the full term of one year.
The intention was to allow
counties and municipalities the
power to grant license for less
than a year at pro rata amount
Of the minimum license required
for one year. But we are decid-
edly of the opinion that a license
cannot-be granted for any time for
a less amount than the minimum
license fee required for one year.
The ''intention,'' however conflicts
with the law of 1887. If the P;o-
7aeer is correct, there was no neces-
sity for the repeal Of the law Of
1881, for municipalities already
had the power to do what the Pho
11ee,' claims the law of 1891 con-
ferred upon them. The intention
of he author of the bill was to
benefit the wholesale liquor dealers
of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

An Aeronaut's Experience.

A story is told of the thrilling ex-
perience of a veteran aeronaut with a
bald eagle and Connecticut constable
During a recent ascension, when at a
height of 5000 feet, the balloonist was;
attacked by the eagle. A desperate fight
ensued, which resulted in the eagle being
killed. Half fainting, the aeronaut
descended to terra firma. When he had
recovered he hunted for and found the
dead bird. While he was examining his
prize the constable came along and ar
rested him for killing the bird, for which
offense, he claimed, fine of $50 is i'm
posed. The aeronaut, it is related, had
more difficulty in escaping punish
ment than he had in killing the bird

among them. The streets there are trav.
eled from day break to shutdown by trucks
going to and from the stores and thA

has long been the pastime of the youth
of the locality, but it was accompanied
by so great a possibility of a swish

irate driver that the lads began to tire
of it. The boys have now circumvented
that difficulty. Scores Of them have

towed along until the driver forces them
to retreat. They are so far out of the
reach of whips that he generally must
stop his truck and get off to do this. By
that time the boys are half block off.
Sometimes five or six lads will get a tow
on the same truck. The result of so
many drags on behind is often to bring
the poor beast on whom the burden is

DOnnelly'S Convention.
The meeting of the State ALI
ance at Minneapolis last week, was

the organization, had hoped. The
radical element was in the major

rule-or-ruin spirit that bodies i'll for
the future Of the Alliance. The
platform adopted, instead of being
a single declaration Of principles,
in moderate language, which could
not have failed to attract strength
to the parties, is a mess of absurd
tiles. The committee which pre-
pared it, having chased about
Robin Hoods barn to deliver a
whack upon the pet grievances of
every one who had one, including
President Donnelly. It has made
the Alliance the laughing stock
even of its friends and sympathiz-
ers. Then too, calamity fell upon
the Alliance when Doc Fish was
chosen lecturer. Unless there
comesa speedy and complete re-

last weeks gathering, the Alliance
as a party Of strength and in
fluence, is a thing of the past in
