Thought plimme- wa. a Boy.

The Turkish bath was crowded. II
was the busy hour. Every couch was
occupied and the attendants were
rushing about. A tall man, who had
what he called a "hold I'VE jag" had
been bathed and massaged until his
complexion was a baby pink. He was
lying on a leather couch preparing
himself for a nap when the idea en-
tered his head that he ought to have q
towel.
@Tendant, '%tendant!" he called. No
attention was paid to him.
He repeated the plaintive cry sew
.ral times. At last he saw q boy of
about sixteen years walking placidly
by. His loins were girded up with q
towel.
"Say, 'tendant." lie cried, "bring me
n towel, will you, and be quick about
it,"
The "boy" posed in front of him for
q moment and looked him carefully
over from tho top Of his head to his
bare feet. which stack out from the
end of the sheltering sheet.
"Who Yer talkin' to, hoyp" he asked
scornfully.
"You. Bring me a towel"
"What do yer toik me for?"
"If you don't bring me a towel I'll
report yon."
"Soy, amt %no'tendant. My no:mo's
Billy Plimmer, and If you get hup hof
TINT couch I'll give yer nil yer want.
Hovw
"Beg pardon. Biil-beg pardonm
and the man who had lost his @hold
over" pulled the sheet up to his neck
and fell asleep.

rms WITHOUT a WATCH.
AZ nxpsrimeut with Success Based Upon
More Than one II

Actual and repeated experiments
have shown that ,he nearest hour of
the day or night may be ascertained
in the following very curious way:
Make a small running loop in apiece
of sewing thread about a foot in
length, place a shilling in this loop,
see That the coin is accurately bisected
by the thread, and then draw the loop
tight up SO that the shilling is firmly
slung at one end of the thread, says
London Td Bits. Put on a solid table
a glass tumbler with a fairly wide
mouth. Rest your right elbow on the
table in n firm and easy position SO as
to avoid any shakinsss in your hand,
hold the other end of the thread be-
tween your first linger and the "bail"
Of the thumb ii. c., the tieshy Top joint
of the thumb), SO that the thumb nail
is undermost and a few inches above
the middle of the mouth of the glass.
Now, if you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement OF the coin
(Which is hanging inside the tumbler),
will become less and less until the
shilling is m%otionless. Then, in half a
minute or SO, a very slight and rcgu-
lar vibration will commence, the coin
oscilla,ing from side to side like a pen
dulum and gradually increasing the
length Of movement until it gently
strikes the side of the glass. This
strike goes on in tho most regular and
automatic way, first on one side of tho
glass and then on the other until, say
eight strokes have been struck; the
vibrations Of tho coin then diminish in
length, until the suspended shilling
again becomes m%otionless and hangs
In the middle of the tumbler. You
look at your watch and find that 8
O'Clock is the nearest hour.
] have tried this over and over
again, deliberately setting about the
experiment without bias or any inten-
ton of influencing the swing of the
coin, and also Icing ignorant of the
time, and when my hand has been
steady the right time has invariably
been struck.
There is something very curious
about the phenomenon. Whether the
thread is influenced by the pulse in
the sball" of the thumb or whether
there is some unconscious transference
OF "mtention" from the brain to the
thread l do not know, but in any case
the matter is sufficiently interesting to
be worthy of a critical test by persons
who will carefully and without bins
carry out this singular experiment OF
telling the time.

EASILY WORTH A DOLLAR.
A Simple Plan for Preventing Yourself
from Losing m Umbrella.

u once answered an advertisement"
said Hugh Meadows to a st. Louis
Globe Democrat man, (which offered,
in return for a 81 bill, to send an in-
fallible remedy for the habit of leaving
ones umbrella behind in Offices. and
more especially in vehicles. AS q
money maker that advertiser was .
distinct genius. for in response to my
application and in return for my dol
lar ! received Il printed slip about 4SS
inches in size. with n picture Of n man
alighting from a hack with m open
umbrella which had stuck fast in the
door.
Below the picture, which it was ex-
planned n purposcly drawn out OF
perspective, were II few lines explain
ing that il a man would oncu impress
the picture on his mind he would
think of it every time he left a vehicle
or car, and would he prevented there
by from leaving his umbrella behind.
! vas in such q rage at being swindled.
as | thought, that the incident and il
lustration both became photographed
in my mind's eye, and TO do the advcr-
tiser justice that dollar has certninly
saved ME many dollars u year in UNI
brellas.
The science OF mnemonics is a very
peculiar ono and few people under-
stand it. Years age ii was common to

has been improved upon from time to

on this file he can scarcely leave the
Office without being reminded OF inn

other man, who has no clock in his of

SO that when he looks to SEQ il il is

he has forgotten anything.

The New Gorilla In Central Park . ase,s
Unruly Brute.

The only gorilla in America arrived
in New York recently and was placed
in the large cage, in the arsenal build.
ing, formerly occupied by the two
famous chimpnnzees. He is supposed
to be II years old, has attained his full
growth. and is about S feet 2 inches
tall. He has broad shoulders enor.
mously long and heavy arms, huge
hands, immense strength, and a scowl
that is simply terrifying. He could
easily defeat any three professional
prize fighters in the world in one
round. His name is Chilio.
The gorilla has many accomplish.
ments says the N. y. journal. He can
eat with a spoon, and bowl, and a knife
and fork. He is not trusted, however,
with a knife and fork, as it is feared he
might get angry with himself and do
himself personal violence. He is very
fond OF coffee, which he drinks without
milk from a cup.
Chiko was taken to Central park In q
cage on wheels. The cage was SO large
that they couldn't get it into the
arsenal. So they took it to a storage
warehouse and made arrangements to
take the gorilla out of it and put him
ia Il smaller box.
Chiko stormcd and raved.' The
keepers could do nothing with him. So
they sent out and got an elephant.
Meantime the superintendent Of ami
haals in Barnum's show, Felix Nc
Donald, was passing the cage, when
the gorilla reached through the bars

A waiter had moved out q chair for
him and had brought plate, knife and
fork, butter, napkin and glass of water.
The MAJ sat down slowly and tucked
one end of the napkin over his collar
after a barharic fashion that seems to
be dying hard. He buttered a lump OF
sugar and ate with a harsh, grinding
sound like that made by an ore

asked: "Well. what have we got to

md seized him by the coat. 1t was
impossible to make the gorilla loose
his hold, and so an employee took a
,hnrp knife and cut away one entire
side of the coat, and let the gorilla
Keep it.
When the elephant was brought in
The gorilla had nothing more to say.
He is afraid of an elephant. He stopped
:oaring and walked into the little box
IS meekly as n lamb. The box was
conveyed to Central park and carried
upstairs into the second story of the
arsenal.
Mr.. Bailey sent to one of the large
carpet stores on Broadway and bought
Z carpet for the gorilla's cage. A work.
a was busy with a carpet stretcher
and q hammer lacking down the car
pet. 1t was the general opinion that
the gorilla would be wearing the car
pet, in a few days, as a shawl. Some
chairs, a table, a bouquet, a bowl, and
spoon,n bed and blankets will be placed
in the cage, which is u large and strong
one, comprising w compartments. one
about Is feet square and the other
about loxl5.
At 5 o'clock the box was wheeled up
= nv oPSh w VI IL Gage. II ludu
got on top of it with n hammer and
door of the box was removed and the
gorilla bounded into the cage.
He roared fiercely and danced about
the cage, stamping hard with both
feet. Then he went from the smaller
into the larger compartment and the
door was closed behind him. He roared
and danced some more, and shook the
iron bars of his Gag and raped on tho
wooden walls to see if they were all
strong.
The gorilla walked about his cage in
q understanding posture, placing his
knuckles on the floor. Occasionally he
stood erect and walking to the front Of
his cage made n languid survey of his
visitors. He seemed rather bored.
Once he looked u of the window on
the trees in the park. He shook his
head, as If to say. "These trees may
do very well for this town, but they
are nothing to our forest on the Con-
go!"
Once or twice the gorilla danced a
Dahomey ~quadrille about his cage to
show the visitors how light of foot he
was. He also indulgcd in some gymaas-
tic exercises on q swinging bar.
He enjoys a hearty appetite and eats
about four times u day. He lives lux
uriously and consumes about twenty
oranges and twenty bananas n day.
Twice n day he drinks a pint Of coffee.
Once n day he losses off an eggnog,
made Of raw eggs and wine. Bread Is
sometimes given him. Being a vege-
tartan he never touches meat.
The temperature of his cage is MAIN
tanned at rs degrees, us he easily
catches cold, and could not endure a
harsh climate. A keeper is always in
attendance on him one by day and one
at night.
The gori1la's strength is remarkable.
He car break with his hands IN iron
bar of considerable thickness. When he
is angry he stands erect, but it is not
his ordinary attitude. He is generally
good nntured, but his mood changes so
easily that his keeper doesn't care to
trust him. +

Intelligent physicians are regarding
with an eye less and less favorable the
use of narcotics. While these are used In
extreme cases to afford greatly needed
temporary relief, professional efforts are
Tar more generally directed, nowadays
than formerly, to means OF building up
the nervous system as n basis OF healthful
quietude. This is one reason why Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters has received the
sanction OF physicians as a nervine tonic.
Indigestion unrelieved is the fruitful
father of insomnia, and the relief of the
parent malady by the Bitters is usually
followed by q return to tranquil sleep.
Orerwork, mental anxiety. sedentary
habits impair digestion and weaken the
nerves. The Bitters strengthens them by
renewing the ability to digest and assimi-
stimulates the liver and kidneys. Bilious
ness. constipation, rheumatism and debil-
1ty are remedied by this sterling medicine.

SORRY HE FOOLED HIS WIFE.
She Had Courage, and Tie Will BE {
Cripple for Life.

Many Torontoninns have noticed Of
iatc that prom%ent businessman
who was absent from his store for two
or three weeks lowing to illness" has
since walked q little lame. More than
one person has asked George what
caused His lamencss, but without elicit
ing the facts. The cat leaked out of
the bag the other day, however.
About n month ago the business
mans wife got the idea that she ought
to have u revolver in the house. The
husband protested in vain. She vas
dead set on having one, and she got
it. Ths following night, after teasing
his wife about having something that
she would newer use if it were re.
quired. he left tho house saying he
would return in Il few hours.
Shortly after the door closed behind
him his wife was attracted by the
,ound of footsteps upstairs. Her first
impulse was to scream. Her second to
run next door and ask assistance.
Then she thought of the revolver and
of her husbands laughing taunts that
she was afraid to handle it. Going to
the drawer she secured it rs the sound
of the stealthy footsteps were close to
the top landing of the stairs. Fling.
ing open the parlor door she peeDed
into tho darkness and in q trembling
voice demanded to know who was
there. She fancicd she heard how

as she pointed in the direction of the

report, and the man fell down stairs
with a laundering crash. Que look

there was a piercing scream, and when

You could see at a glance that he
