Antiquity of the Elevator.

An enterprising investigator of the
mechanics of our grandfathers has
discovered that the lift or elevator is
not modern invention. An ingen-
iour contrivance of similar nature
was constructed in the middle
of the seventeeth century in Paris by
a man named Velayer, who called his
invention a flying chair. Talayer's
lift was not merely toy: it became
very fashionable with rich people on
account of it's utility. 1t was simply
a chair attached to a rope which was
passed over a pulley-or something
which did duty for one-and had a
weight at its other end to counterbal-
ance the chair and the occupant. 1t
continued in fashion until mishap
occurred to the Kings daughter at
Versailles. On one occasion the ma
chinery failed to work when she was
halfway up, and she stuck there for
three good hours before she could be
rescued by her servants. who had to
b 'eak away the wall to release her.
Flying chairs" were not much used
at the court afterward. Some years
later NJ. Thornier, who dabbled in
mechanics in his leisure time, made a
similar chair, which he worked from
the balcony outside his window. Ii
thus escaped the danger of being shut
up in shaft, as the Kings daughter
was. Mr.. Thornier kept his arrange
ment secret and had many a laugh at
the expense of his friends who came to
visit him, When they left him he
would make some excuse for not going
down stairs with them, but when they
reached the courtyard they were
amazed to find him standing there
awaiting them. To their questions
he would return jesting replies, and
then seating himself in his chair and
go up so quickly that they were una
BILE to discover how he did it. One
day, instead of surprising his friend
agreeably he did 80 disagreeable, soI
the machinery broke and he came
greatly to grief. He used the stair
case after his ecoyery.--Philadelphis

PICKING Ont Layers.

How many poultry men can pick
out good laying hen from strange
flock? Not many can do it, yet it can
easily be done after short study of
make up and characteristics, says a
writer in Northwest Farmer. There
goes hen with a thick neck, large
head, ill-shaped, walks listlessly about
seemingly with no intention or purpose
in view. She does not care to scratch,
but hangs around the hen house, evil
IDENTIFY waiting for her next feed. She
gets up late in the morning and goes
to bed early in the evening. That hen
may be put down as very poor layer.
The eggs of some of the other hens 60
to help pay her keeping, Here comes
another. She walks briskly, and
there isan elasticity in her movements
which shows she has something in
view. She is neat and natty in APP
pearance, small head, with a slim
neck, nice arched or curved. She for
ages or scratches all day long, and
may be too busy to come for her even
ing meal. She is at the door in the
morning waiting to be let out. She
snatches few mouthfuls of seed and
is off to the meadow looking for in
sects, Before she gets out in the.
morning she generally deposits her
daily egg in the neat, or returns after
a short forage. She is neat, clean and
tidy, with brightness and pleasant
to the eye. That is the hen that pays
for her feed and gives good profit
all the year round. The writer has
noticed these traits since boyhood, and
knows that they are infallible. BY
studying these traits any one man
may ina few years have flock of
hens.

A physician who has made the sub

PALACE OF DEATH FOR PAR1S.-As a
mournful kind of set oil to its numer-
Gus and brilliant places of pleasure
Paris is now destined to have series
of edifices called Palaces of Death.
These Palais de la Mort, or as they are
also styled, Palais Mortuaires, are in
tended for the reception of dead bodies
until the arrangements for interment
have been fully completed. The OBJ
iect of the members of the organizing
committee of the death palaces is two
fold. In the first they desire to
prevent hasty or premature burlals, as
it often happens in France that people
are put into the grave alive; secondly,
by the new method the danger Of con-
tacion would be minimized. Nothing
is said about attaching electric wires 20
the wrists of dead persons temporarily
deposited in the mortuaries, as is done
in some German cities, notably Munich,
the purpose of this arrangements beng
to arouse the attendant doctor should
the supposed departed be only in a
trance. In Paris the bodies, in the
event of doubt as to death, would be
kept until the first traces of decompo-
sition appeared. The committee of
organization has qeen founded by DR..
Be.geron, who is aided by hygienic
specialist, NJ. Martin. These gentlemen
have already 100000 in hand, and are
only waiting the authorization of the
new Municipal Council in order to be.
Gin building. The first mortuary will
be established in an old closed church
ward near the Montmartre cemetery,
and special departments for the various
classes of the community will be ar
ranged. The project is strongly back
ed. and has every prospect of being
practically carried out.-London DAILY

4 Good Story.

A good story is going the rounds re-
lative TO the experiences Of the first
minister to Persia, which in view Of
the fact that Mr.. Alexander Mcdonald:
of Lynchburg, will shortly sail in this
capacity, may well be told. The name
OF the minister was MI Benjamin, and
his heart beat high as he turned his
head from the western empire TO greet
the rising sun in the spice-laden air OF
the Orient. In his calm hours upon
the wide expanse of waters he dreams
of the land of O.nuzd and dark Ahri-
man, the home of Xoroastcr, the Fire
Worshipper, and Nadly, Shah. AT
length the clear waters of the Caspian
sea reflect the shimmering crescent, and
through the soft night he feels the in
cepsc burdened air fan his !eYered cheek
AS the vessel gently rocks at anchor as
softly as Il cradle, the lullaby the subtle
music that the ripples make under the
star-lit skies. The morning broke and
BENJAMIN behcld the wonders of Il new
world. There was the caravan await
ing him.
The richly clad and jewcl-bedecked
courtiers, silver and gold capariscned
Arab stccds, the White elephants and
the drumcdaries, aud there, tco, the
Shah TO greet him and welcome him to
the land of the houri and peri.
The journey was continued scvcarl
days. aud the old Shah put up some
very good stories and gave Benjamin
few pointers on social life, and made
Few instructions without even Falla-
decn TO interrupt the quiet enjoyment
of the trip. At last Benjamin reached
his quarters, and, ai.er sizing up the
whole Journey and the general outlook,
thought he had struck n soft snap, and
made up his mind that it would suit him
better than life at Quantico or Bermuda
Hundreds.
But Benjamin was not posted on the
customs of that country, and in less
than two DAYS he was confronted with
bill for 81 800 for the pomp and splen-
dor of his journey. His salary was
$1,000 per annum. Benjamin was
broke. AID lie knew the Shah was ii
dangerous man when bills are not paid
on sight. so he hustled around and
wired his country, and that bill was al
lowed him by this government, but all
ministers are now warned to exercise
Jeilerloniau simplicity, and on the back
OF Il donkey. With one attendant, the
four hundred miles arc now usually
travelled.
