The Three Cent Emperor.

Two years ago the emperor of Ger

help of lone working females, SO that
they may remember their emperor looks
after them like father. Every lady
who keeps domestic servant is obliged
to buy of the government a blank book
in which to paste certain stamps. The
government thus turns its little honest
penny. Further, every week the girl
stays in her service the lady must paste
into that book stamp worth cents.
Thus she lays up cents week for her
hired girl Week after week, year after
year, the sum accumulates. tits meant

and old age.

A NOVEL DINING BELL.

Archibald Price, one of the pioneer settlers of the ka1aw!la valley, West Virginia, says the Youths Companion. was making maple sugar in d grove across the river from his house, when lc caught sigh3 Of three Indians sllulk- ing in the vicinity. "rhe varInints!" he said to himself; ''so they mean to bounce on me when I've two pails O sap aboard.
 lie was just starting for some of the moro distant trees. Of course he changed his purpose on the instant, but he was quicl1-witted enough to give no sign of the fact, and for few moments busied himself about the boiling place, whistling merrily.
 If he set off across the river in his canoe, the Indians would pursue and shoot him. He had a brother who was a sea-diver. From him he had learned something about diving bells, and he now took a sudden resolve to make his kettle serve him in that capacity. He ernptied it, but in such a way that an observer at little distance would have sup posed he was filling from tub stand ing near.
 As soon as it was emptied he lifted it quickly and hurried down the river bank, where he raised it in an inverted position over his head, the rim resting on his shoulders, and walked into the water. The bank was steep and the water was soon up to his shoulders.
 Keeping a firm hold on the ke tile, he proceeded. The water got deeper and deeper, untilit was several feet over the top of the kettle.
 The improvised diving-bell answered it's purpose excellently, supplying air for him to breathe until he arrived on the home side of the river.

A CURIOUS COLONY.
Twenty Thousand People Living in the
 Crater of a Volcano.

Twenty Thousand People Living in the
 Crater of a Volcano.
 Thirty miles from the city of Kuma- moto, Japan, is the volcano Also San. This volcano has the largest crater in the world. It is more than thirty miles in circumference, and peopled by twen- ty thousand inhabitants. Think of walk ing for miles among fertile farms and prosperous villages, peering into school house windows and sacred shrines well within the shell of an old-time CT ter whose walls rise eight hundred feet all about you. It gives one queer feeling. Hot springs abound everywhere. In one place 1 saw the brick-red hot water utilized to turn rice mill. The inner crater is nearly half mile in diameter, and a steady column of roaring steam pOurS out of it.
 The last serious eruption was in 1884, when immense quantities of black ashes and dust were ejected and carried by the wind as far as Kumamoto, where for three days it was so dark that arti- fcial light had to be used. But what interested me most was to learn that out of that old-time crater had come not only stream of pure water and many kinds of farm products, butyoung men, who, seeking a wider school and home than the mouth of a vigorous vol cano, had found their way to Kumamo- to, Kyoto and America, and were now foremost among the Christian ed ucators and preachers of Japan. The pulpit orator Osaka, the prin- cipal of an English school at Kuma- moto, who is a graduate at And over, and one of the Doshisha profes- sors at Kyoto, New Haven graduate, all came from that valley of death

THE SOUND OF A SUNBEAM.

Wonderful Scientific Fact That Was
 Discovered OaIy Short Time Ago.
 One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that has been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound, says Pearson's Weekly. A beam of sunlight is thrown through lens on glass vessel that contains lampblack, col ored silk or worsted or other sub stances. A disk having sits or open ings cut in it IS made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On put ting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard 50 long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel.
 Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made A beam of sunlight is caused to pass through prism so as to produce what is. called the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it.. Now place tke ear to the vessel con- taining the silk, wool, or other material. As the colorcd lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by diff ferent parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts.
 For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard if the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sounds best in a red light.
 Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors and utters no sound in others.

AN EGYPTIAN HAREM.
A Glimpse Of the Home Life of an Orien-
 tai Princess.


 tai Princess.
 Climate, religion and customs, says Blackwood's Magazine, make the harem a most uncomfortable home for Europeans and servants, however well they may be paid. Ismael introduced French women to dress the ladies and their hair, and English women or Ital- ians to get up their profusion of fine linen. An eastern princess bills would be something portentous if the wash ing were sent out.
 One ironer complained that her sui ferings between the fire and the fiat iron were terrible. Sometimes an English governess would spend long day at work with the thermometer at 116 degrees; and during Ramadan, when the household is sull,y or asleep, and all the filters locked up, she had to go out to buy the water for drink ing. Nor were the posts of the ward robe keepers more of sinecures. One woman had five hundred dresses in her charge, and she was expected to pro- duce any of them at a moments mo- tice to a princess with a marvellous memory for toilets. But as for the word wardrobe ,' that is a miSnOmer. The dresses are all slowed away in boxes, and were they not taken out for frequent airings, the moths of the Scripture would make wild work with them.

The Panama Silk Hat.

One of the greatest curiosities of the Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk tree, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1t is a plant that grows from fifteen to twenty feet high, and in appearance does not differ greatly from other trees, but the inner bark is perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and strong. The natives separ- ated it by some method best known to themselves, the process somewhat re- sembling that of beating flax. When once it is separated and spun into threads, it can be woven into a fabric so closely resembling silk that it is difficult for anyone not familiar with it to distinguish between the two. This species of silk goods is in high favor on the isthmus, and Columbian belle is never happier than when she is arrayed in gayly-colored dress made from the trees in her fathers x-ar6

Mixed Titles.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer are words curiously i1terrclated. The French and the English sea adventurers once made common cause against Span ish settlements in the new world, and all three of these words came in time to describe the rude sea soldiers who de- spoiled the Spanish main and the towns upon the coasts of the Spanish possessions. Filibuster is said to be the result of an attempt to make a French word of freebooter, and the English borrowed it back from the French because it sounded less frankly brutal than the English word. Buc- cancer was originally French in form, and it meant at first one who hunted the boucan or wild cattle and hogs of the West Indies; then one who made jerlzed meat of their flesh, and finally, because this meat was used to provision the ships of the sea rovers, filibuster or freebooter.

A PIa ~ne nf Mice.

An extraordinary phenomenon has been noticed in southwestern Russia. The mice which have infested not only the fields but the towns and villages for years have entirely disappeared. The Kiew-Slowo Gazette reports that in the spring of 1891 the mice plague in that part of Russia was terrific, the inhabit- ants were at loss to know what to do and feared greatly for. their crops, Strange to say, at the close of spring, 1892, the rodents departed from the country and left nothing behind them to testify to their presence but innumer- able holes in fields and gardens, nor have they put in an appearance since.

An Ant,dote for Rabies.

Here is a receipt for the bite of a mad dog, taken from the ''Universal Maga- zine of Knowledge" published by John Hinton at the Kings Arms in Newgate street, London, May, 1753: 'Take the youngest shoots of the elder tree, peel off the outside rind; then, scraping off the green rind, take two handfuls of it, which simmer a quarter of an hour in five pints of ale; strain it off, and, when cold, put it in bottles. Take half a pint. make warm, the first thing in the morning and the last at night, and be sure to keep yourself warm; also bathe the part affected with some of the liquor warmed.

ATMOSPHERE AS A LIQUID.
It Can Be Kept in Bottles Like Any
 Other Tluii.

The royal institution has just given peculiarly interesting demonstration of the splendid results that, may be achieved if the highest skill in investi- cation be combined with an adequate command of means, says the London Standard. The liquefa"tion of air, re- garded as a mere feat of mechanical in- genuitv, would command the admira- tion even of those who value knowledge mainly for its use in what they call practical life. But Of infinitely higher value, in the esteem of the true student, are the differences suggested-it would be premature to say the conclus- ions attained-as a necessary incident in bringing about this wonderful change of form. It has of course long been assumed in theory that the differ ences between solids, liquids and gases are matters of temperature and pressure. Platinum can exist as fine vapor where there is heat enough to cx- pand its atoms; and, conversely, hydro gen might be kept in hard pellets if only it were possible to get that tenu- ous element a sufficient number of de- grees below freezing point.
 But then the philosophers despaired of creating, or rather maintaining, on this globe of ours either sufficiently ar dent heat or sufficiently deadening cold. The speculatively possible was the practically impossible. Enough has been done already to dissipate despair. Some time ago we were told that o2y- gen had been reduced to palpable form that human eyes had positively seen the ''vital gas' at the bottom of the vessel That was triumph indeed. But Prof. Dewar, in alliance with the Goldsmiths' company, has pushed the area of conquest further still. The mixed gases of the atmosphere have been reduced to the liquid state, not as a mere fugitive spirit tl.at evaporates and disappears as soon as it is fixed in bounds, but as a mere liquid, like any other liquid, that can be kept in bulb and hung up in heated room without any very rapid loss of its volume.

POrnniSe Pie.

Three-decl1er porpoise pie is an old time whaling delicacy. It is made by spreading the bottom of a copper kettle with duff" Upon this goes layer of porpoise in chunks, then layer of duff, and so on until the name three-decker is justified. The several strata are then cooked together, and when the pie is done it is cut in wedges. Each piece is about foot thick, and the share ot each man is obtained by dividing three hundred and sixty, the number of de grees in circumference, by the number of persons on board. The quotient rep resents the number of degrees to the segment.
