Lucky For the Burglar.

The butler of peer discovered burglar

about o'clock. Being by far the stronger
man of the two, the butler took the depre-
dator to his master. who happened to be In
his study at the time, and asked whether
he should send for policeman.
"Of course" replied his lordship, cor
rather" added he, with the instinct Of self
preservation, 'I'll ring for one" and so say
Ing he rang the bell.
A servant appeared, whom his lordship
requested to "go into the kitchen and bring
up policeman or two" The domestic re-
turned and said there were no policemen on
the premises.

credulous tones, do you mean to tell me
that with cook, two scullery maids and

Aluminium Plating.

NJ. Brin of Paris describes process for
depositing coat of aluminium upon me-
tallic surface by the direct contact Of VIOLA.
tilted salt Of aluminium with the surface.
The sheets of iron or other metal are first OF
all cleansed from all impurities by an acid
bath and afterward placed in solution OF
borate Of soda, hydrate of alumina and
some easily fusible fux, so as to insure per-
feet cleanliness. Thus treated, the articles
are placed within a closed muffie, and the
walls of the latter are heated to very high
temperature by a surrounding furnace
There are openings In the sides of the muffle
to provide for the entrance Of the vapors
and for the escape of the gases resulting
from their decomposition.
Some salt of aluminium, such as the chlor
ide, is heated in vessel Of flreclay to the
temperature of volatiliZation, and il Is then
conducted through the muffie In direct con
tact with the surfaces of the plates. The
aluminium IL at once separated and is de
posted upon the metallic surface A cur
rent of inert gas, such as nitrogen, Is forced
through the retort and muffle along with
the stream of ADVANTAGEOUS vapor so that
no oxidation shall be possible. The outlet
tube from the muzzle conducts the residual
gases into a receiver, upon whose condens
ing surfaces the sublimated vapors are de
posted for further utilization as by prod
ucts. The metallic sheets are not only thus
coated with aluminium, but become impreg
mated with it.-New York Sun.

Pets In Apartment Houses.

1--WE experience some of the most provok-
ing incidents of the real estate business"
said an up town agent, dealing with peo-
pie with pets. Between having apartments
vacant and getting Objectionable tenants in
them we are often between the devil and
the deep sea. 1t is a curious fact that peo-
pie without children usually have some
sort of pet or pets While il is desirable to
get people with no small children, there are
children aud children, you know, and so
there are pets and pets. I've steered away
from the Scylla of children only to go to
pieces upon the Charybdis of a hooking
bind or terrier.
Funny, isn't it, how childless people will
get the noisiest creatures for petsf To take
the place of children, presume. The gilt
edged tenant is the couple who have had
children, raised them and married them off.
There is no nonsense about that sort Of a
couple. Only they are awfully cranky
about other people. Having been through
all of that sort of thing they have de-
sire to live the rest OF their days in peace
and quietude, and they naturally object
TO children and dogs and birds and any
thing that interferes with that idea And
they dread piano more than 7-year-old
boy. The newly married pair Is, of a
matter of course, the most desirable They
have no pets but each other and bother
nobody and stand anything My idea OF
an earthly paradise is an apartment house
: filled up with newly married couples. -

Solon Chase's Dinner.

ing: II remember once when Senators Frye,
Hale. John ID. Long of Massachusetts,, Della
mater Of Illinois and several others were
at Turner agbipg and called on Uncle So
lon Chase. Hale. Ia the way, used to go
TO school TO Chase somGaEere in that
neighborhood, and Long, / think, was born
down there. Well, they all happened to
call on Chase that day, and he invited them
TO his house for dinner. He had house
keeper whom we all called the hired girl.
She was a strange old soul and subject TO
tantrums,' Chase called them.
'Of course she managed TO have tan
trum' on this particular day, and when
Chase got his company down TO the house
the hired girl refused to get dinner, and the
only thing eatable in the house were baked
beans and blueberries. But that didn't
bother Scion very long. We set the blue
berries and the beans on the table, and then

winding up by saying. Gentlemen, guess

He Proved He Was Plumber.

1.-THE plumber joke is worked to death,
but will tell you one anyhow, just because
it is true" began friend. 1.-THE young
woman that figures in the story lives on
Broadway near Floyd street She was
sprinkling the street and used hose that
was sadly in need of repair. An itinerant
plumber came along with "A kit of tools
slung over his shoulder. He asked the
Young woman if she wanted the hose fixed.
What will you charger she answered. The
man looked at the hose critically and then
said he would repair it for 10 cents,
This was contrary to all traditions re-
lating to plumbers prices, so the young
woman told the man she did not believe he
was what he represented himself to be.
Still she said, go ahead and fix the hose.
The man took out his tools and soon had
the hose nearly as good as new. The miss
gave the man Is cents. He shook his head
and said he wanted IS. Why said the
Young woman in surprise, you said you
would do the work for Is cents Yes,
know he returned, but there was more
work than thought We'll, ] was afraid
YOU weren't a plumber when you first came
up. but now know you are and am will

gave the man his pay.-Louisville Courier

Death In Tea.

Tea tasting is regular commercial pro-
fession, and one which is certain death to
those who pursue it, The success of the
tea faster depends upon the trained accu-
racy of his nose and palate, his experience
i'm the wants of the market and keen bust
ness tact. If he has these qualities in high
cultivation, he may command a large sal
ary as long as he lives-and die of ulcera-
tion of the lungs. In overhauling a cargo
of tea be classifes it and determines the
value of each sort. In doing this he first
looks ut the color of the leaf and the gen.
eral cleanliness OF it. He next takes q
quantity of the herb in his hand, and
breathing his warm breath upon 1t snuffs
up the fragrance In doing this he draws
into his lungs a quantity of irritating dust
which is by no means wholesome. Then,
citing down TO table in his office, on
which is a long row of little porcelain cups
and a pot of hot water, he draws the tea
and tastes it. In this way he classides the
different sorts 10 the minutest shade, makes
the different prices and then compares his
work with the invoice. The skill of some
of these men is marvellous, but the effect OF
the business on their health is ruinous.
They grow lean, nervous and consumptive.

Lively Time In the Water.

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to
save a drowning person has been some
what painfully tested by an unlucky
Frenchmap. He was walking in the coun-
try with friend who possessed q magnif-
icent Newfoundland and incautiously
questioned the truth OF the animals sa-
gacity.
The dogs master, vexed at the slur cast
on his favorite, gave his friend push and
knocked him into shallow river. Turk
Immediately sprang In, and seizing ono OF
the tails OF the immersed mans coat COM
menced TO swim for land.
Unfortunately another Newfoundland,
trotting along the opposite side Of the ris-
or, saw the affair and also came to the
rescue. Dog No 2 seized the other tail OF
the coot and wished 70 swim back TO his
master Turk held fast and struggled for
his side, and the owner Of tho coat cried
In vain for help.
Al last the coat gave way, ana each
Newfoundland swan proudly home with
q piece Of cloth In his mouth, SO that
Turks master was obliged TO plunge in
himself TO save his friend. Tit

fROGGY AND THE SNAKE.
A Unique and Interesting Contest With .
Happy Conclusion.

Last year In early May, while resident
engineer on the Mineral railroad, the great
feeder and outlet of all the furnaces, iron
and coal mines and limestone quarries In
the Birmingham district Of Alabama, | had
in charge some masonry in the Calebee
Valley line. At noon one day climbed up
and ate dinner OH top Of high bluff, rocky
and bare, except where few leaves had
lodged when blown from the trees on either
side. l had finished eating and laZily
sprawled out almost asleep when | heard
queer, quirking noise, together with hiss,
the latter of which awoke me quick enough,
for | knew the whole valley was infested
with snakes.
Much to my surprise on jumping up and
looking round / found a large black and
gray snake, a coachwhip. with poor little
frog in front of him, preparing for his meal.
] kept quiet, watching both and wondering
what they would do. Again and again the
snake coiled and struck, always missing
the frog, which, facing him, nimbly leaped
aside. Suddenly, without coiling, by a
quick spring the snake caught the frog and
held him fast. Then began another anus
ing scramble. The snake would gulp and
twist, trying TO swallow the frog, the frog
trying to get away and croaking with ter
ror BY a quick movement the frog got
free when the snake opened its mouth TO
get a better grip. l noticed then for the
first time that the frog had small twig
about three inches long, tightly crosswise
its mouth. What did it hold TO that forf
wondered. | soon saw.
The snake again caught the frog and at
tempted TO belt it, and it was the stick that
was cheating him out of his feast. He could
grasp the frog, but the stick held across its
mouth prevented him from swallowing it.
Again the little frog got away, and lodging
about faced his big enemy with his queer
little blinking eyes and expanding throat,
making a whistling croak and watching his
adversary. The snake seemed to lose its
temper and Missed and coiled rapidly. strik-
ing with fierce hate, but the frog sprang
out of its way every time. Finally the
snake seemed to give up the contest, and
stretched out YEARLY. Then froggy lost
his head and started hopping away, only to
be run down from behind and ignominious
ly swallowed after all. But killed his
enemy and ripped him open and gave the
frog the freedom he certainly deserved

QUAKER CUSTOMS CHANGING.
The Friends Are Yielding tn Worldly Fash
ions Habits and Manners.

II chance should direct your footsteps
past the old Quaker meeting house on Arch
street below Fourth on First day morning
about the hour that the good folks are as
sembling for meeting, you would see, as In
few other places about the city you can see,
the quaint Quaker costumes worn by few
Of the plainest Friends. Only on Sunday
nowadays, and in such aneighborhood, does
philadelphia ever look like the Quaker
town n once WAS On weekday when an
old fashioned Friend goes upon the street
attred in his simple garb he Is soon swal-
lowed up in the multitude, and on Sunday
or weekday be it he is one of so very few.
The Friends are dying out among us-slow-
ly, it is true, for the sect is additionally
faithful to its usages, but still the old Sc
verify and uniformity of dress, character
and principle are yielding
1t is only necessary TO call as witnesses
the younger Friends, who still adhere TO
the religious tenets OF their forefathers,
but have by degrees abandoned many OF the
traditions attached thereto, particularly In
| regard TO their costumes Years ago mon
| adherence 10 the plain garb would have
been sufficient TO have debarred the young
orthodox Friends from attending meeting.
But now they display the gradual assimila-
| ton which is taking place in thought and
| practice between them and the worlds
| people, a barrier which is being torn down
and burned away under the very noses OF
and with but scant protest from their eld-
ers, who personally could never bring them
selves TO anything but a firm adherence &c
| the traditions of their faith.
But at the same time they feel themselves
| compelled to bow to the circumstances oil
the time, acknowledging with all the world
| that the manners and customs of the ma
| tority must rule everywhere. Year by year
| this dying out of the Quaker costume has
been noticed by them, yet they are power
| less TO stem the tide.
| Indeed il did not take the Friends them
selves to notice this gradual assimilation
| as IL was observable by every one, the
silent vanishing Of the old fashioned, broad
| brimmed hats of the men and the drat
| bonnets and plain gowns OF the Quaker
| maids and matrons, and then the wearing
| of their clothes in accordance with existing
fashions-first, sort Of compromise be
tween the old and the new, and as they
grew holder an actual decoration Of thei
persons as the latest fashion dictated, TO
gether with the further and forbidden
adornment of jewelry.
1t was but natural when a change wa
made in the Quaker garb that othe
changes in their social system should fol
low. Thus the plain. unostentatious deco
ration of their homes has been gradual.
supplanted by more elegant and elaborat
furnishings, including in homes wher
means are plentiful all the luxuries OF life
