Mrs. Romney's Water Cooler.

The Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is covered receptacle
of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in tray of
galvanized iron, which holds water to a
depth of two or three inches. BY reason
of the porOsity of the cooler and the force
of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the receptacle, and is
as constantly evapOrated-thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as it is usu-
ally drawn from well or spring. Den

Advice From a King.

Kabarega. the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with a rod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and host of spies inform him of any
disobedience to his commands.
Among other things, he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 80
cowries for it, while the market price
was only 25. In that part of Africa it
takes about $50 cowries to make 81.
Soon afterward a dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back 5 cowries,
with the message:
"a fowl costs only 25 cowries, while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him
but he sends to you the advice to be care,
full henceforth in your purchases--nevel
to give for anything more than it is
worth. first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. Youths Companion.

An Interesting Predicament.

A man who lives in fat near Central
park recently had peculiar experience.
A couple of deaf mutes rented an apart
ment underneath his own and were
blessed in due season by the arrival of q
bouncing baby with an excellent pair of
lungs. At night the little one woke up
nearly the entire house by its cries, but
