Hopper Spins .ePinaforo' Yarn.

Some years ago, when the "Pinafore"
craze was at its height, the actor who
impersonated Sir Joseph Porter during
q production of that opera at the Varie-
ties theater New Orleans, had make
up which transformed him into an
exact facsimile of Admiral Murray of
the United States navy, who was then
stationed at New Orleans. One night an
old salt Of Murray's command was sit
ting in the front row of the gallery.
When Sir Joseph Porter made his first
entrance, he gazed upon him for mo-
ment as if doubling the evidence Of his
senses, and then muttered to himself
soto voce, I'm blest if that isn't old
Murray"
Rising from his seat and making a
sea scrape, he called out, GOOD day,
your honor" The special officer was
going to eject him, but the manager Of
the house, who had observed him, for
babe it and told the officer to let the old
fellow enjoy himself to his hearts con-
tent so long as he did not become SO
boisterous as to disturb the performance.
Whenever Sir Joseph came on or
went off the stage, the old salt would
rise and honor him with salute, and
after the fall of the curtain he proposed
and gave three cheers for Admiral Muir
ray. A naval lieutenant who was pres
ent subsequently told me that when the
old fellow went on board his ship next
day he had to be put in irons for refus-
ing to obey an order from his superior
officer unless that functionary would
follow the example of the gallant cap
tain of the ''Pinafore" and say, eff you
please. DE Wolf Hopper in New
York Herald,

Bathing Suit of 1894.

Though the woman with a well filled
purse can indulge in the luxury Of a
silk bathing costume, the greater num-
Der of the fair sex at the shore will frol-
ic with old Neptune in suits of all wool
flannel. These may be made very plain
or may be trimmed with great taste.
The neatest suits seen in the stores
are made with full skirts and have knee
tights and full tights to match. Sandals
and odd knitted or rubber caps come
with these suits, which are made in
black, navy, cardinal, maroon, gray and
white. BlhAk, white and red worsted
braids in different widths are used as
trimming, and this garniture can e,put
on in exceedingly pretty effects Cuffs
and sailor collar of red or white flannel
on blue or black suits are very stylish,
although some beautiful models are
made with box plated waists, with the
skirt, wrists and down turn collar trim
med with two or three rows of narrow
white or red worsted braid.
The best suits range in price from
81. so to 81. These are for ladies, the
suits for children costing between 81

The bright young man-who isn't so
very young either was fortunate enough
to secure a seat right in the midst Of
Deacon Huggum's young ladies' Bible
class and by their arch manners was 50
far decoyed from his usual staid indiffer-
ence as to try and make himself agreea-
BILE.
The speaker of the evening pleaded
most earnestly the cause of sweet chari-
ty and made the last remaining quarter
md nickel burn in the scribe's pocket.
When the deadly contribution box be-
gan its gyrations in his isle, the news
paper representative began to chuckle
under the mellowing influence of hap
by thought. He would execute a neat
little piece of legerdemain with that
quarter and cent piece, and while
properly impressing his fair neighbors
with the larger coin would really drop
in the smaller.
He held the quarter daintily between
his thumb and finger and pressed the
scent piece between his third finger and
his palm. There was click of coin
in the bottom of the box, rather un-
usual twist of large cuff and bland
smile on the reporters face.
A second later the young man started
as if he had been shot and turned ex-
citedly toward the deacon, who was now
two seats behind him.
He had dropped in the quarter!
The deacon mistook the gesture as a
sign that the young man had been over
looked, and again he thrust the box I'M
der the reporters nose.
What did he do?
Just what you would.
He put in the nickel.
And walked home.-Boston Herald.

Cnrinsities of Glxcerin.

One of the great advantages of glycer-
in in its chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezesnor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature. No
perceptible loss by evaporation has been
detected at temperature less than 200
degrees f., but if heated intensely
it decomposes with a smell that few
persons find themselves able to endure.
1t burns with pale flame, similar to
that from alcohol, if heated to about
800 degrees and then ignited. Its nom
evaporative qualities make the COM
pound of much use as vehicle for hold
ing pigments and colors, as in stamping
and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers
and the like.
If the pure glycerine be exposed for
long time to freezing temperature, it
crystallizes with the appearance of sugar
candy, but these crystals being once
melted it is almost an impossibility to
get them again into the CONCEALED state.
Ii little water be added to the glycer-
in, no capitalization will take place,
though under sufficient degree of cold
the water will separate and form crys-
tails, amid which the glycerin will re-
main in its natural state of fuidity. If
suddenly subjected to intense cold, pure
glycerin will form a gummy mass
which cannot be entirely hardened or
crystallized. Altogether it is quite a
peculiar substance. Housekeep-

Ages of Stone and of Bronze,

The transition from the stone age to

land. This wonderful people lived
through the stone age and for long ages
continued on until they Tapped over
into the bronze age. Some of their set
Elements disclose only stone implements,
while others of a later date show the

ct, the bronze knife, the hexagonal ham
mer, the Hanged knife of ornamental de-
sign, the socket knife and the bronze
sickle. They show also the bronze fish
hook, barbed and in exact similitude of
our present device. The ornamental
hatpin as now used, together with other
articles Of utility and ornamentation,
is plentiful. The stone mold for cast
ing the copper or bronze Ratchet is Of
exceedingly ancient date, but probably
the use of sand was far more common,
and hence we have less traces of that
method. Hardware.

Lightning Dissipators.

A good many years ago some one ad-
vanced the idea that wire netting
spread over the roof Of house and
properly anchored in good conducting
soil is an effectual bar to injury by
lightning. The claim is that there is
what is called state of electrical stress
This is broken by the fash that de-
sends through an electric air column
that extends from the clouds to the
earth. By the use of copper latticework,
with upright points placed upon roofs,
the electric current is attracted, carried
through the metal conductors and safe
ly conveyed into the earth without doing
any injury whatever. 1t is, however, of
the utmost importance that the anchor
age be of the proper sort, as upon this de-
ponds the safety of the dwelling New

A few months after my fathers death
the infant son, who had been pining him
self i'll for 'papa," was lying one night
in his mothers arms. On the next

ing the winter. mo-" was her answer.

natural that she should dream about her
husband, and that her anxiety for the
child had Given the dream its shape.

Tragedy of Literary Disappointment.

An English periodical says disappoint-
ment in authorship over there sometimes
has tragic results. Recently gentle
man committed suicide because he had
had an article rejected, and confec-
toner's assistant shot himself because,
though he had written several books,
they were all rejected. The article goes
on sagely: yet he went on writing to
the last, unable to see that he was pro-
ducing what was not wanted. Nova
days there is market for what is good
in any class of literature, and the writer
who cannot secure a publisher may rest
assured either that he is not ready for a
public appearance, or that he has been
denied the gifts with which he fancies
himself to be endowed"
