after an investigation had been

that dried peas instead Of canned
peas had been served at dinner, so

If it was an attempt on the part
OF the royalists to gain possession
OF the barracks, it was an unsuc-
cessful one, and if they made any
attempt to fight last night, they
would have met with a warm re-
ception, as but one-third of the
regulars were laid up and most of
those would have been able to be

Waterproof Cotton Cloth.

The processes commonly resorted to for
imparting waterproof quality TO cotton
cloth have proved only measurably success
full, besides being somewhat complicated
and troublesome. The latest and most eff
fective method, as recently described, is
claimed to be free from heobjections here
tofore encountered and consists mainly in
first drying the fabric thoroughly in dry
heat and then spreading it lightly over a
smooth surface. With brush this is paint
ed over with thin coat of boiled oil,
which, after having become perfectly dry, Ia
treated to second coat, and third II nec'
essary, plenty of time being allowed be-
tweenseach for the effect of the operation
on the fabric to become perfect. After the
last coat has been applied, If the surface re
mains sticky, a mixture of one-fcurth pound
of shellac to pint of water gently heated
until near the boiling point adding TO this
a small quantity of liquid ammonia, IL
painted over the surface. For yellow wa
terproof yellow ochre is employed, and for
a black lampblack is found serviceable.
The coloring matter, it is said, can be used
In mixture with the shellac.-New York

Siam ese Customs.

The wealthy Siamese, including the king,
practically turn night into day. All i'm
portant political meetings are held in the
night, and 4 o'clock in the morning is the
hour at which Bangkok fashionables retire
until 4 o'clock the succeeding afternoon.
There is semi-European theater In Bang
kok, which was erected by one Of the pres
ent kings predecessors, and there are plenty
of outdoor theatrical performances by ma
tives, the Siamese being a pleasure loving
people and fond of all sorts of entertain
ments
The worst thing that can happen to a
man In Siam is to get into debt, from which
there is never any escape, owing to the ex-
orbitant interest charged. Once in debt
there is no appeal, the debtor being stripped
of his clothes and compelled to work in fet-
ters generally for the rest of his life, to pay
the interest. Drunkards are not permitted
to give evidence in the law courts of Siam.
The Buddhist priests, clad in yellow
robes, are to be seen everywhere in Bang
kok, and it is quite common for young men
to enter the priesthood, which affords them
an easy and luxurious existence, owing to
the liberality Of the populace toward any
one sanctified to the service of Buddha.-

An Ultimatun.

What the late Professor Jowett of Oxford
was least tolerant of was pretentiousness
and shallow conceit. The reputation for
extreme latitudinarianism that the fame of
his early trial for heresy had attached to
his name sometimes made foolish young
men seek to curry favor with him by ex-
travagant protestations of agnostcsm,
One self satisfied undergraduate, who had
a thin smattering of all the heather phi
losophies, and fancied, like many of his age,
that he had made the original discovery
that all the worlds dolls were full of saw
dust, met the master in the Quad" one
day, and having entered into conversation
with him continued to pace up and down
by his side.
Master" he said after a pause, II have
searched everywhere in all PHILOSOPHERS,
ancient and modern, and nowhere do find
the evidence of God"
"Mr. -" replied the master after a
shorter pause than usual, IF you don't find
a God by o'clock this afternoon, you must
leave this college"
If DIR. Jewett had really believed in the
young mans professions of "philosophiC
doubt as being anything but puppyist
brag, he would have spent hours of valu
able time in kindly and reasonable talk
with him.-New York Tribune.

An American girl who has lived in Paris
declares that that great metropolis is ALSO.
lutely provincial and countriied in many
respects. Here in Chicago one may go her
way undisturbed though she wears a tub
on her head, but there one has to subscribe
to the traditions.
The girl in question tells how at one time
she bought pretty little felt cap, very
much like Tam o'Shanter, in the Latin
quarter Naturally, having bought it, she
put it on her head and went out. Now 1t
seems that these particular hats were worn
only by men, though the fact did not dawn
upon the American girl until she found
herself with following of small boys who
hooted at and gibed her, and men who
spoke r,ldely to her, and women who
laughed tempestuously. 1t really looked
as IL she would have to call a closed car
rage In order to get home alive, but she
suddenly bethought her of more speedy
and economic plan. She snatched off the
offending cap, rolled it in her hand and
went on bareheaded. At once she ceased
to be an object of attention. The grisette,
you see often goes bareheaded, even when
she is very nicely dressed, and so disguised
as grisette the frank and free young
Yankee maiden" got home in beautiful
safety.
She never donned that cap again while
she remained In Paris--never But when
she returned to her native heath she wore
it complacently, and still wears 1t when the
fancy sezes her, and no one looks at it twice
or seems to care. Whereupon Paris seems
countrified, by contrast, or so she says

The Trouble with a Trained Dog.

Doc Goldberger scared himself one day
last week. He was out in Clifton with
friends walking and admiring the suburbs
On Clifton avenue he met coach dog. 1t
stopped and made friendly advances. Doc
ordered it to sit up. To his surprise it
obeyed Then he ordered it to lie down,
and it did SO. His friends were astounded,
but they weren't any better off than Doc.
"You see, Pm mesmerizer," he said as
he wondered what on earth allied the dog.
After causing it to jump through his arms
and pretend to be dead Doc proposed going
down town. When the party got off the
cable car at Seventh and Vine, the dog was
the first thing they saw. 1t had followed
the car down town. The friends of the
mesmerist were now completely puzzled,
but Doc was in delirious whirl. 1t took
him two hours to lose the pup, and now he
crosses over when he meets spotted dog
on the street Trained dogs are too friend
ly.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Force is as indestructible as matter. 1t
is impossible to create or to destroy either.
The following will illustrates:
The ship is moved and the windmill Is
turned by the wind. Wind is caused by
the expansion of air, which in turn is
caused by heat received originally from
the sun.
The stream transports sediment or turns
the mill. The stream owes its origin to
rain, and rain to the cooling of vapOr
brought with the winds from regions where
the suns heat is sufficient to change guam
titles of water into vapor. Ages ago the
suns rays separated carbon dioxide into
its administration and oxygen. The
carbon was stored up in the earth. We
can cause this carbon to unite again with
oxygen and get again the same quantity of
heat once used to separate them. We can
use this heat in the steam engine to trans
port merchandise or to move machinery.
In the same way ton of hay represents
a certain amount of solar energy. We may
use it as fuel to run steam engine or we
may feed 1T to a horse and get work from
him. If this work be used in overcoming
friction, heat may be again produced.
Muscular work and brain work alike are
possible only as food-which is q kind of
fuels capable of oxidation in our bodies.
Many experiments have led men to think
that heat is simply motion of molecules.
When we heat substance we merely
cause its molecules to move more rapidly.

it upside down, at the same time exclaim-

laughter, and ON this important occasion
Jack Ryder had laid himself out to make
the most of It. But on calling for the

on the point of handing it to Sir Frederick

Judge then of his horror Indignation and
CONSERVATION when Sothern coolly waved
the waiter off, and pointing to Ryder said,

OF course, the snuffbox being handed to
the Old Member thus early in the proceed
ings killed his entire scene On the first
impulse of the moment Ryder was on the
point of hurting the object at Sothern's
head, but then the ludicrous nature of the
sell struck him, when he commenced to roar
with laughter, and not being able to con
troll himself arose and left the stage. There
were number of actors present in the au
dience, and they called Ryder back several
times upon the scene, Sothern all the while
gazing from one to the other, an apparent
look of amazement upon his face, as much
as to say, what is all this about~ Attel
a few minutes Ryder, having gained the
mastery over his feelings, reseated himself

An Artist With Nerve.

A great artist is generally supposed to be
so nervous that the smallest contretemps
is sufficient to upset him. Sarasate is APP
parently an exception. When he was max
ing his appearance at the Norwich festival
recently, a curious accident befell him,
which would have been sufficient to drive
most artists of his caliber from the plat
form. He was down TO play DR.. Macken-
zie's "Pibroch," and he came forward In
his habitual calm way and, with his back
turned to the audience, stood chatting for
a moment with Mr.. Betjemann, the leader
of the band, until the latter gently re-
minded him that Mr.. Randegger was
standing, baton in air, ready to begin. Then
Sarasate turned round, and tucking his
fiddle under his chin began to play-but
not the "Pibroch"
A quite unfamiliar phrase sprang from
his fingers. Mr.. Randegger was naturally
astonished, but continued conducting for a
few bars, while Sarasate still went on play
ing something very different from the open
ing phrase Violinist stared at conductor
and members of the orchestra at each other
until by tacit consent every one stopped.
Sarasate had entirely forgotten how the
movement began, but, unfrightened by an
accident which would have appalled, most
players just beginning long and difficult
piece, he strolled across to the conductors
desk, consulted the first page of the score
resumed his position, and then began again
as unconcernedly as though nothing had
happened. Decidedly, heis man of nerve

There are probably $50 schools for cook
ing In Germany and Austria, the best of
which are at Vienna, Berlin and Leipsic.
A man who wishes to become a chef must
begin at the very bottom of the ladder-at
peeling potatoes-and work up, round by
round, to the top. A course of schooling as
strict as that of any polytechnic school In
this country must be followed for four
years before the student can get diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions are Civ
en-, In which as many as 200 chefs take part.

House by Grover Cleveland during his first
term has gold medal which was presented
