that the money thus spent is borrowed

A Joke on Congressman Blair.

Some wicked persons played a joke
upon the Hon. Henry W. Blair of New
Hampshire the other day by inducing a
member of the cold Homestead" COM
pany to dress up in his stage clothes and
go to the capitol He carried an old
fashioned genuine carpetsack in his
hand and gingham umbrella. The
doorkeeper was much amused when he
took in his card, and Mr.. Blair was as
tonished when he saw the garments of
his visitor. The latter represented him
self to be from the town of Nashua, N.
H., and said that when Mr.. Blair was
there last he had invited him to come
down to Washington and make him a
visit. Of course Mr.. Blair had been i'll
Nashua many times and realized that
he might have invited some of his con-
stituents in that place to pay him visit
at Washington, but he could not iden-
tify this particular constituent and be-
gan to ask questions The actor endured
the ordeal perfectly well, as he was ia
miliar with the locality, and the con-
gresham, who did not suspect anything,
might have been entertaining an actor
unawares but for the tittering of some
newspaper men who had been let into
the secret and were watching the inter
view. The good natured congressman
admitted that it was an excellent make
up and very good joke Chicago Rec

death of his wife, and. owing to his

He was a witness of the historic charge
of the Light brigade. The medal he
wears is one Of those presented to the

Itaiy's Improbable Railways.

The Corriere della Sea has Just pub
lished an article ON the Italian rail
ways which says that, "out Of the 90
lines worked by the Mediterranean COM
pany, there are 20 which are worked at
loss and some whose expenses amount
to more than twice as much as their re-
ceipts. Many of these lines-the princi-
pal ones indeed-are now % or 20 years
old, and yet are always in this disas-
trous condition. The investment of cap
ital here is disastrous, because instead
Of gaining interest the investor has to
make continual grave sacrifices of money
without even any indirect benefit to the
regions were the lines pass. And what
is said of the Mediterranean company
may be said of all the companies of
Italy"
To this dark picture l will only add
that the railway debt of Italy is nearly
milliards, and that the annual railway
deficit is not less than 200, 900, 900 lire,
or more than the actual cost of the
army, which, when the expenses of pub
lie security are deducted, is only about
100, 600, 900.

Milking Reindeer.

The process of milking herd of rein
deer is singular, and we have often
watched it with interest, especially when
after long tramp across the fields we
looked forward to share of it ourselves.
Attended by the sharp nosed Lapland
dogs, the herd appears, its members
packed closely together and forming a
compact mass, in which the horns are
a prominent feature AS they approach
nearer, one hears grunting exactly like
swine, and a curious, cracking sound,
produced by the contact of innumerable
horns and limbs. They are then driven
into an inclosure, each animal is lassoed
in its turn over the horns and dragged
up to an erection in the middle, where
it is milked The quantity afforded by
each is only about as much as would
fill a claret glass, but the milk is ex-
tremely rich and nourishing Black

a Strange Discovery In Africa.

Unlocked for things have been found
in unlikely places, but there has proba-
bly, been no discovery more remarkable
than that Of Balzacs dressing gown in
the possession of the king of Dahomey.
Monarchs are rarely literary, and his
dusky majesty, one would think, was
the very last of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic of novel
ist, however distinguished. Nevertheless
the French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some in
genious theories founded upon this cir
cumstance. One of the amazons, it was
thought, might have been a novel read
er and had sent to Paris to secure the
interesting memento, and on the affair
coming to the knowledge of her sover-
eign had fastened to say she had pur-
chased it for his own shoulders, for in
deed he always wore it upon state occa-
sions. 1t was not "a dressing gown such
as literary persons in this country are
wont to wear of second class flannel
worn at the edges-but of purple velvet
with gold AS matter Of
fact, it had been given to Balzac by
some of his admirers, and after his
death had been bought by a dealer in
who had placed it, with 9TH
er snowy articles, on. the west African
market 1t is sad to think how a plain
tale will put down"-that is, destroy
the materials of fine romance. -

An Approvad Crltinisn,.

Stuart labored under one rather an.
noying disadvantage while painting a
portrait Of Washington, disadvantage
which has become historic, and which
arose from the circumstance of Wash
ington's i'll fitting set of false teeth.
As Stuart said, when l painted him.
he had just had set Of false teeth in
serted, which accounts for the con-
strained expression so noticeable about
the mouth and the lower part of the
face -
Enough has been made of this, and
moro than enough. There is even an
tleodote about Stuart having persuaded
his famous sitter to stuff cotton in his
mouth while he was being painted.
Miss Jane Stuart gives the following
amusing account of a. narrow escape of
her father:
while talking one day with Gen
eral Lee my father happened to remark
that Washington had tremendous tenn
per, but held it under wonderful con-
troll.
General Lee breakfasted with the
president and Mrs Washington few
days afterward.
+" 1 saw your portrait the other day,
said the general, but Stuart says you
have tremendous temper
Upon my word, said Mrs. Wash
ington, coloring, Mr. Stuart takes a
great deal upon himself to make such
a remarkl'
-" But stay, my dear lady, said Gen.
eral Lee. He added that the president
had it under wonderful control
with something like smile Gen.
eral Washington remarked, He is

what Machinery Is Doing.

One of the astonishing facts in the
6eld Of industry is the marvellous
power of machinery operated by
hand. In the cotton trade, in 1850,
the average product of every EN-
ployee was something less than 500,
while 80 years later he was able
to produce a value of 1900, not.
withstanding the reduced price of
cotton. In the wooden factory the
change was much the same, the hand
of each worker being able, as long
ago as 1850, to make over 81 200 of
product, and in 1880 about 81, 800, the
proportion of material consumed by
improved machinery being about. the
same.
How much the world is indebted
to invention cannot be stated in tan
gjble form, but with the strength Of
man remaining the same and the
skill Of the present artisan, though
showing some advances, still not dis
taneing that the ancient Egyptian,
the vast increase of human resources
is due mainly to the influence of in.
vention in discovering ways in which
machines can do the work of men.
The competition is no longer COM
petition of skill of labor, but that Of
and in America we are far
in advance of any other nation in
this respect A man who so years
ago could turn out a value equal to a
scant wage, now, at fairly good
wages, is able to bring into being
