M, . ro,r SAMPLE of the Sex.

A man who has returned from trip
abroad says that women, as rule, do
not know how to treat servants. On
shipboard, as every ocean traveller is
aware, it is established that fees are the
rule. Every one knows it. Every
guidebook ever written to tell one chow
to go to Europe" advises its reader
of this fact, and how to meet it. Some
of them even state the regulation tip
which it is best to give the steward-ten
shillings-though twice that amount is
more often the rule, and it's worth it..
Women, it is said, invariably either
overdo this, and spoil the servants by
raising their ideas, or underdo it SO amaz-
ingly as to be absurd. l suppose it is
another form of the old faccusation-no
middle distance.
Well, Boston actress crossed on the
steamer with the manmentioned above,
sailing from East Boston in the early
summer. She sat at the captains table,
and was so pretty as to attract the ad-
miring attention Of every one on board.
Tho fact had its penalties. She was in
lusty health, and her appetite reflected
the bracing effects of the sea air on her
fine physique. At every meal she called
for every dish on the bill of fare. The
cook must have felt honored, but it
kept the steward jumping. He took
more steps for her sweet pleasure than
for all the rest Of his contingent. He
did his duty well. There shone in his
eyes the contented hope of handsome
tip, and at the end Of the voyage she
gave him-a shilling.-Mahogany Tree.

Why Electric Lamps Blacken.

One Of the most interesting results in
dicated by an Investigation was that the
blackening of the lamp bulbs is not en-
tirely due to the deposition of carbon
particles from the tilaments, but Is
largely owing to vapor OF mercury left
n The. lamp chamber by the Spreiigel
pump The evil was far less apparent
n lamps exhaisted by pumps which did
not involve tile use of mercury. The
IFason Of this blackening is a point
which should be cleared up by chemists.
It is suggested tfat minute quantities Of
sulphur may exist In the iilament, and
may combine with the traces Of r1er-
curry yapor, forming, after time, black,
solid mercury sulphide.-Pittsburg Dis

A Stone Image Sixty Feet Under Ground

A Stone Image Sixty Feet Under Ground.
Years ago, probably as early as 1881,
when workmen were excavating a cut
on the Humeston and Shenandoah rail
way, they found a stone image about
eight inches in height imbedded in the
clay at depth Of about sixty feet be-
meath the surface. In general attitude
the image may be said to be in a squat
ting or sitting posture, the right elbow
resting upon the bent knee. Two horns,
each about an inch in length, adorned
the head The mouth, and in fact the
whole face, was very large for the size
Of the image. The main question Is,
How long has it been since that image
was an object of worship?-St. Louis Re-

return to the old laws as ''just and fair. "
On this point the Plain Dealer has the
following figures; There was total
vote cast at the late election of 7S5,629,
of which 1886, ,739 were cast for the Re-
publican ticket and 40S,S9O against it..
This shows the Republicans won by a
minority vote of %, l51. Here is mi
nority party with temporary power

congressional districts as to disfran-
chise to all iutents and purposes 300,0 900
voters by taking seventeen congress-
men and allowing 40S,S90 voters but
four. In other words, it will take but

plan is practically the same as this.
