We have heard different versions Of
what constituted fun, but we heard a
new one the other day from an old
soldier. At Gettysburg, about the time
of Pickett's charge, the relator was sta
toned down toward the edge of the
wheat field, and he was sent out in
charge of squad TO relieve the picket
in a copse of woods. Meeting the ser
geant he was about to relieve he asked
him what his orders were. He was in
formed, and among other things the
pickets were not to fire.
Why said the relieving sergeant,
they are firing right now Why don't
you stop them?" "Oh, well, they are
just having little fun in there. The
Confederates have got possession of a
stretch of stone wall. and our boys
swear they are going to take it away
from them" Our informant went in
and soon he and his men were as deer
in the fun" as their predecessors, not
withstanding their orders not TO fire
They kept it up, lodging behind tree;
and working around the woods unit
thev got a flank fire, ran in on the
stone wall and captured it. They hac
their fun and accomplished their oh

great many books have at sales
exceeded the price Of f10O, and among
these several have exceeded 81, 0O0--as,
for example. the ''PsalInorum Codex"
OF 1457, printed at Mentz by Faust &
Schoeffer copy Of which was sold at
Sothby's. in Sir John Thorold's sale,
1884, for "a. 40, being the highest price
ever paid for a single book. Copies of
the Bible printed by Gutenberg and
Faust in l450-55, and known as the
"Mazarine Bible" have been sold at
various times at sales for f2, $50, f3, 400
and in 1884 for e3, 900. The History
OF Troie, I" printed by Caxton, reached
about the sum of 81, 0eo, and finally,
the ''Decarnerone" of Boccaccio, print
ed by Valdarfer. of Venice. 1471, which
was purchased at the Roxburghe library
sale in 1912, by the Marquis Of Bland
ford, sold for 1920.
This price. which was without equal
at that time for a single volume, ap-
peared so extraordinary to the biblio-
maniacs that in order to commemorate
the event literary society was formed,
called the Roxburghe club, the mem
bers of which agreed to dine together
on June II. that being the anniversary
OF the above mentioned sale, and in
turn each was TO present a volume
printed for the special occasion.-W

French engineer in a recent paper
proposes a scheme for cheap power by
having gas and steam in the same cyl
inder. By this scheme he claims to
be able to produce motive power by
using colnbustible gas. employing the
heat generated by its explosion to gene
rate steam, and the vapor of ammonia
When the gas has operated on the
piston it escapes at a temperature of
about 400 degrees into a generator,
where steam is produced, which is used
to act upon the opposite side of the
piston from the gases. There are two
advantages claimed for this-the high
temperature due to combustion of the
gas prevents cylinder condensation.
and the steam assists fabrication.
The completed machine for which
this claim is made consists of two
cylinders, one making its forward
stroke under the action of the ex
plosive gases, and its return stroke by
the action of the steam; the other is
operated entirely by vapor of am
monia- Under these conditions, say:
NJ. Teller, there can be no doubt
theoretically or practically. the forty
four pounds of coal per horse power
per hour is an economy which can bt

other day, says Miss Mantalini, and she
told me that mouths gave her the most
trouble. The mouth is quite the most
unmanageable feature in the face, she
said. Few people look well smiling in
a photograph, because they never smile
naturally, Then a pursed up mouth
won't suit anybody. If the lips are too
much parted the expression of the face
conveys the idea that the person is weak
minded or empty ht;.ded. Sne said
that women were more satisfactory sub

sentiment. Very matter Of fact people
