"a due regard for public duty" causes
him to tell the place hunters to get away
and cease their inpertinence. This is
honest and frank and manly. He tried
to be polite to about 90, of the hungry

marvelously large-exhausted, and he
issued the above remarkable document

America,

Edison, the Wizard, Has a Problem

One Of the objects Of the visit of
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, to
Allentown, Pa, day or two ago was
getting ideas for use in his new mag
netic ore concentrator,, which he ex-
poets will work revolution in the
iron business. He was also studying
the working Of the furnaces with a
view Of perfecting another invention
which he has on hand for the charging
Of furnaces by machinery, by which
he hopes to greatly cheaper the pro-
duction Of iron.
He has already introduced similar
machinery in his ore mines in New Jer-
sey, whereby the ore is brought to
the surface at a small expense. In
talking of his inventions for the treat
ment of ores and the operation Of fur
naces, he said he expected soon to be
able to place northern furnaces once
more in a position to compete sue
cessfully with those in the South. By
means Of his magnetic concentra tor,
he will take rs per cent of ore, and, by
| removing the foreign matter, convert
it into bricks that contain sixty per
| cent Of ron.-Philadelpbia Ledger.

A. Correspondents Orders Obeyed.
OF all the unusual things I ever saw
was the prudence exercised by a cor
respondent Of one Of the Hong Kong
papers, who was reporting the cam
paign Of the French army against the
BLACK Flags in Tonkin. We were
at Hanoi on the Red river, when his
birthday anniversary occurred, and he
started in to celebrate the event. He
soon saw what the inevitable result
would be. He therefore hired two
strapping big Chinese coolies to follow
him around, and as soon as they saw
certain symptoms which he explained,
they were instructed to seize him bod
lily, regardless Of resistance ON his part,
and carry him, if necessary, to the
house where he lodged, put him to
bed and not allow him to go out after
that until he woke up the next morn
ing.
The symptoms showed themselves be-
fore he got ready to surrender, and
the result was one Of the most remark
able episodes ever witnessed. First
he tried to argue with the porters,
but he. had previously told them not
to regard anything he said at that time,
and when they would not listen to him
he tried to fight them off, but they were
very much stronger than he, and their
fee was contingent one, which they
were determined not to lose through
any fault Of their own. At last he ap-
pealed to us to help him, but we sided
with the coolies, and reminded them
that they would not get their pay if
they allowed him to escape. So he was
bundled off and put to bed in spite
Of himself; nor did he get out again
till he had slept and got over his anger
at all, except his companions who had
encouraged the coolies to follow their
i instructions so literally w. II. Glider

. In the Artists Exhibition Of 1893 at the
New York Academy Of Design, there was
exhibited an oil painting by J. L. Ferris,
entitled "Sweet Charity" Its richness of
coloring commanded instant attention, while
the lesson it taught was so impressive that
one naturally returned to it for a second
view.
Its subject is a young lady of ca. onial
times who Is on an errand to one of the
poorer families of the town. She has q SEN
sible, charming face, which expresses With
remarkable fidelity the sentiment of her
errand. There is not a home that this
charming picture will not ornament. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated.
"Sweet Charity was purchased by the
publishers of the Youths Companion, and
has been reproduced in colors in large size,

One OF the most interesting cases that

that Of q man who at one time was

everything else, and he sank deeper and
deeper, until he became a regular

DFaW10R Evil influences ont Oh beer.
covery made by bright New York
woman, who once said to me, after Wis
iting gallery filed with the works
of the most conspicuous French i'm
pressionists, that she had seen the
effect that absinthe produces upon the
brain of the French artist
But it is not absinthe alone that
produces these striking effects. Too
great indulgence in any liquor is apt to
do the same; even the comparatively
innocent German lager beer has its
victims. The cashier in leading Ger

attention one night to a well dressed,

exception of the index finger, which
hung down, and which he whirled
around the glass with the most as
founding rapidity. Gradually raising
his hand, he tapered off in speed and
reduced the size Of the circles, finishing
with grand flourish up in the air,
as If to draw all evil influences out
Of the beer in an imaginary whirlpool
He then took up his glass and bowed
his respects to me, as if he had done
nothing whatever unusual.
Another customer Of this same sa-
loon and restaurant would invariably
come in, take a seat at a table, after
hanging his hat upon a peg on the
wall, and then look around for while.
He won't order anything at that ia
ble," said one Of the walters to me.
''He will put on his hat and overcoat,
as if going out, and go to some other
table before he orders anything. But
after he starts in, he is likely to sit for
several hours drinking beer and eating
picked herring"
True enough, as if to illustrate the
walters assertion, the old man got up,
put on his hat and coat and started for
the door, When about half way out
he turned around and sought a seat
at another table, from which he or
dered beer and a picked herring. BE-
fore ordering the herring, however, he
called for the bill of fare, and studied
it carefully from top to bottom. The
waiter told me he would order the pick
Led herring, no matter what else there
was on the bill of fare, and he might
just as well order it at first, but he
never did.

A New Enamel for Metals.

The protection of metals from rust
and other atmospheric influences has
been the subject Of many recent pat
ents, and Of those the newest is for an
enamel for gas apparatus and decora-
tive work Of all kinds. For decorative
effect the capabilities Of this enamel
are great. All colors, the most delicate
dnts in any number, either dead or
bright, and both gold and silver, also
either dull or polished,S.are obtainable
In the same casting, and all alike are
Interchangeable, being affected neither
by exposure to the air nor to any heat
up to bright red. The film of enamel
is SO thin that the most microscopic de-
tails of the metal are unchanged.
Castings protected in this manner are
not only capable Of fine artistic treat
ment, but they are also claimed to be
absolutely permanent and proof against
dirt and smoke, which disfgure other
work so rapidly.
