Jogging His nIemory.


A story told recently was of big,
burly fellow who used to drive a
team from the Kennebec valley into
Piscataquis county selling crackers
for bakery. On one of the outly-
ing farms on his road lived small
man who had won almost state
reputation for beating his creditors.
He met the peddler, who did not
know him, and bought barrel of
crackers, to he paid for when he came
back on, his return trip. By that
time the peddler was posted on the
peculiarities of his customer He
was told at the house he was out in
the field, and went to seek him.
When he asked for his pay the lit
tie fellow cooked his head on one
side and looked pat him with a leer.

him by the collar and began toswish

A Grewsoue Thing.

1t was a rather unusual ornament
for a room, if it could be called an
ornament; but bachelors often have
strange things in their rooms. This
was human skull, polished and
made into receptacle for stray bits
of paper or anything else that one
wanted to put into it. The top could
be removed at pleasure.
1t was a grewsome thing to have
on writing desk, and it attracted q
a great deal of attention. Callers
shuddered as they looked at it, and
one day one of them asked the bach
elor why he had it around.
t'Oh, it's sort of keepsake, he
said carelessly. ut was my broth

cry one in the room edging away
from him.

Certainly; what's the matter with

ment. He gave it to me when he
was married He got it when he
was medical student, but his wife
wouldn't have it around the house. ~

London Fog.

Over the mighty city, amid certain
atmospheric conditions, the particles
of carbon form canopy that OBJ
structs the passage of heat and Of
chemical rays from the center of life
the sun. There is a lowering Of
the temperature, and animal vitality
is diminished. Pure fog mist, such
as we see in the country, does not
seriously interfere with solar chem
ical energy.
Mist is simply condensed vapor.
When it is frozen the particles form
storage for the deposition of particles
of carbon or of sulphur. If the vapor
is merely in condensed watery parti-
cles it absorbs the hydrocarbons and
the sulphurous acid produced by Inn
perfect combustion of bituminous
Goals. The innocent mist is thus con-
verted into the yellow black fog
known to the dweIlers in London

MIR. Armour's CHARITIES

Philip d. Armour is a Chicago man
who makes more money thai the
average American citizen would
know what to do with. But Mr..
Armour. while a man of simple
tastes, with no desire to throw money
into Lake Michigan for the solo pur-
pose of seeing it sink, contrives to
disburse large sums yearly for the
betterlnent of the human race. In
a public way, excepting the Armour
mission, kindergarten, dispensary,
etc, Mr.. Armour has done little as
yet to immortalize himself among
the great benefactors, but his list of
private charities is a long one. Many
boy has he helped through school
and college, and many poor family
has he relieved from distress. His
personal appearance is that of a mi n
who is in close contact with the good
things of life, and a glance at his
home shows that he knows how to
spend money for the comfort of his
family and for the qualification of
the better tastes.-New York World.

Timorousness OF Great Men.

1t has been recently stated by those
who knew him well that Mr.. Spur
geon was an example of the fact that
public men often quake ON the eve of
their great successes. Though few
guessed it, he was nervous in speak
ing, and one result of the disastrous
panic at the Surrey Gardens in 1856
was that he ever afterward dreaded
excitement in great audiences. AT
the Free Trade hall in Manchester,
1872, the orator was in bI.oyant and
brilliant form. Yet before delivering
his address he had been attacked by
nervous sickness in the anteroom.
AS we have suggested, this curious
preliminary recoil seems to be fire.

that establish or increase fame.

northern China Has Many Fairs.

Northern China is the country OF
fairs. In any given district there is
constant succession of large gath
erings at which it is not uncommon
for as many as 10000 persons TO be
congregated. The fairs are some
times called the poor mans market
for the display of secondhand cloth
ing which the owners wish to dis
pose of. At Techou and at another
point on the Grand canal there are
annual fairs held from the beginning
of the twelfth month to the fifteenth
day of the same month, at which
there is a great display of foreign
goods, especially woolens, sold at
cheaper rates than at other times.
This is called the fair of the grain
fleet, and is one of the products of
the vicious system of grain taxes.
About 400 vessels are annually en-
ployed for transporting the Shan
tung grain tax to Tungchow, near
Peking, and upon their return these
vessels bring large quantities of
goods from Tentsin, which are SOL
at the fairs. While some of the fairs
are held at times rigidly fixed and
never varied, most of them are
wholly uncertain as to time. North

up nearly an hour ago. Tho loud

mitted his talk for time and then

The two who have come at last,
through weary ways of doubt and

many whispered farewells and kisses

A Place Where There Are Few Striker
because of tho Fate of Striker.
The Balubans, as the natives of
the Muansanyomma district of cen,
trail Africa are styled, enjoy an ex-
cellent local reputation as ironwork-
ers. They find their crude material
in the form of bog iron ore on the
surface of the land. 1t rarely hap
pens that digging to an appreciable
depth is necessary. Their smelling
furnaces, which are constructed oi
clay, are from six to ten feet high,
from forty to sixty inches in diam
eter at the base and conical in shape.
The ore is tipped into the furnace
from above the charcoal, on the other
hand, is introduced into basinlike
side openings, which also receive a
continuous air blast, while the iron
and Stag are removed from the bot
tom of the furnace about every eight
or twelve hours, according to the de
gree of heat obtained
The forge is a circular building
some sixteen feet in diameter, with
pointed roof and open sides. AT a
distance it might be taken for a park
band stand. In the center of this
hut is the fire, which is maintained
in constant activity by means of a
unique pair of bellows. which merit
special description. They consist
of block of wood, generally twenty
inches long, followed out and fitted
with a funnel head made of clay.
At the lower end are two orifices,
over which skins are stretched. Mo
ton is impaired to the instrument
by the action of two small rods.
The hammer is of solid iron; the
tongs are marvels of simpEcity-to
wit, a bent palm branch. An iron
wedge driven into a timber bole
serves as an anvil.
The recollections of tho Balubans
carry them back to the time when
they wrought metals with stone
tools. Some of the natives are com
paratiyely artistic workers. Very
fine axes, tastefully inlaid with cop
per, are produced.
Strikes among these swarthy arti-
ficers are of comparatively rare oc-
currence, probably owing to the fact
that the malcontents invariably have
their heads Topped off and their skins
placed ON one side for patching, or
in case of need entirely recovering
the aforesaid curious bellows.-Lon.

Women in the Government Service.


At present women are gradually
disappearing from the departments,
and within a few years there VIII be
comparatively few OF them in the
employment of the government at
Washington. notwithstanding the
fact that twice as many women as
men apply for places This result
will be brought about inevitably by
causes which are now in operation.
All persons entering the classified
service must come through tho com
petitive examinations held under the
civil service law. When there is a
vacancy the civil service commission
ers send in three names, from which
one is selected by the appointing of
fetal. In five cases out of six, sup
posing that the three names Include
both sexes, man will be chosen in
preference to a woman.
This seems very unjust, but the
reason for it is evident enough. A
chief of bureau prefers men as sub
ortlinates because he feels no re
straint in their presence. He can
smoke and swear occasionally if he
likes, or ask them to do odd jcDs
which no would not like to demand
of women clerks. Thus it happens
that the great majority of the women
now in office here were appointed be-
fore the days of the civil service law
