Monroe bay. There is no end to amuse-

TelegraphinS by Induction.

From the Globe-Democrat
Only recently the public has learned
much, through the experiments of w. H.
Preece, of what can be done In the way Of
telephoning to distant points by induction
alone: that is. BY dispensing with inter-
mediate wires. This principle of electric in
uuction mas now been applied by j. Wins
hurst to solve the problem of establishing
telegrapsic Communication between a light
snip and the shore. The difficulty of MAIN
hlining cable between the shore and a
swinging and tossing lightship is well
known, and Mr.. Wimshurst makes no at
tempt to secure his communication by this
m0ans. Instead he employs two coils near
cash othes on the swivel pin of the moor
inss one coil connected by wire to the
shore, the other to the instruments on
board, ana the signals pass betweeh them
by inducti9o. leaving the mornings to twist
about as they may.

A Veterans Invention.

A veteran of the Thirteenth Penn
sylvania Cavalry regiment, who lost
his right arm below the elbow joint and
whose left HAND is cramped with rheu-
matism, holds pr sitlon in one of the
departments at Washington. On re-
cent visit to Philadelphia, he exhibited
to some of lis old comrades an ingen-
ious mechanical contrivance, partly of
bis own invention, by means of which
the loss of the right hand is to con-
siderable degree supplied. 1t consists
of steel pincers with delicate fat
jaws, attached to the elbow joint in
such manner that when he straight
ems out the arm the pincers open, and
when he crooks the elbow they close.
Though this contrivance may seem
very imperfect substitute for hand,
yet with it he can lock and unlock
doors, use knife and fork, write
readable letter, hold an umbrella, or
pick up a postage stamp.-Neoc Eng
land Farmer.

The Next Encampment.

One hundred and sixty-one owners,
managers and representatives. of the
leading hotels and boarding houses in
Pit sburg and Allegheny City have en-
tered into written stipulatons to ask
only moderate and reasonable rates
during the national encampment of
1894. Besides the central traffic asso-
citation has promised that most favor
able rates for transportation shall be
accorded to comrades of the Grand
Army attending the encampment. The
commander in chief feels, therefore,
that official announcement may be
made that the twenty-eighth national
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic will be held at Pittsburg the
week beginning September 10, 1894.
The parade will take place Tuesday,
September II.

Wouldn't Give Up COrsets.

One of the most prominent merchants
became convinced that the young women
In one of the departments of his establish
ment were injuring themselves by their
constant wearing of tightly laced corsets
and issued notification that in future no
corsets should be worn during working
hours. Instantly there was Indignation,
and the 30 young women appointed n COM
mlttee of three to wait upon their employ
er for redress of grievances. The employ
er received the committee very affably and
assured the young women that his order
had been issued in their interest. He
pointed out that their wearing of corsets
did not improve their appearance in the
eyes of any one but themselves, as they
worked in a basement where no visitors
were admitted. He further read them
little lecture on the evil of wearing corsets.
and being by nature a well disposed soul
he gave dinner to all the young women in
that department one evening, at which he
had present well known physician, who
told how injurious thing a corset is. The
girls ate the dinner and listened respect
fully, but the next day the committee
called again upon that employer and as
sured him that they must ask to be al
lowed to wear corsets.
but you will admit, said the mer-
chant, THAT the wearing of the corsets at
your work is injurious to your
The committee admitted the fact, but
declared that the experiment of going
without them all had made them look
horrid in their own eyes.
So the employer yielded the point as
gracefully as he could. He is man whose
name is as prominent as that of any retail
merchant in New York.-NeiU York Herald

A War Episode.

At the battle of Fair Oaks, June /,
1862, Colonel John T. Preyer, then a
second lieutenant, on coming off the
field noticed something sticking out of
the mud which looked like silver. He
picked it up and found that it was a
silver-mounted revolver of English
make and belonged to General Hatton
of the confederate army, who was
among the slain. Colonel Preyer re-
Gently offered through the papers to re-
store the relic TO the relatives or heirs
of the general if they could be found.
Last week he received letter from
Miss Mamie Hatton of Nashville, Tenn,
stating that she was the daughter of
General Hatton, and would be delighted
to receive the relic of of her father. 1t
has been forwarded to her address.
There have been several instances of
this kind with few years past, and
they are very pleasant episodes of the
war,

Religious, Not PiOus.

Rev. Rowland Hill was witty and
eccentric minister, and several inter
esting stories are told concerning him,
among them these:
A man was one day calling upon
him and setting forth some very pc
culiar religious views.
do you hold the Ten Command
ments to be the rule of life for Chris
tiansF" asked Mr.. Hill.
Certainly not" was the reply.
The minister rang the bell, and
when the servant appeared he said
to him:
John, show this man to the door
and keep your eye on him until he is
beyond the reach of every article of
wearing apparel in the hall"
One Sabbath several persons en-
tered his chapel to avoid the falling
rain. Many persons are to be
blamed for making their religion a
coat" said Mr.. Hill, "but / do not
think those are much better who
make it an umbrella. "-Ram's Horn.

The Right Sort of Wife.

In conversation with n man whose opin-
ion is worth something we were enlght-
ened as to the feelings of the majority of
mankind regarding the sort of wife they
would prefer if the choice lay between the
austere, worldly wise feminine and the
pretty faced doll.
"You see, " said this man, "a husband
does not like to feel that his wife is his
better half save from moral standpoint.
He may admire her intellect and her rare
judgment, but just the same he wants to
think himself superior and is much better
pleased to have woman look up to him
ps something infinitely wiser than herself
than to have her assume little airs that
tell him as plainly as so many words that
she hasn't very exalted opinion of his
mental abilities.
1.-THE doll you can treat like doll. Not
expecting much from her save to have her
always look pretty and dressed well, there
Is no disappointment when she does not
proffer advice and candidly admits that
she knows nothing of business and has no
desire to be enlightened. OF course she is
not companion to be proud of, yet she is
preferable to the hard, unbending sister
mentally her superior.
"There is another sort, though--the
ideal wife who rules her husband with a
rod of iron, yet never shows her power ag
gressively. She governs by tact, and the
man thinks all the time he is having his
own way when IN reality it is hers. She is
bright and witty, but not to the extent OF
putting him in the shade. She is capable
hostess and an ornament to his home. He
never tires of her, because he never really
knows her. That is the ideal wife. But
how few men meet their ideals!"-Phila
delphid Times.

Reindeer.

NJ. Nordenskiold, in his voyage in the
Vega to the Asiatic shore of Behring sea,
noticed n marked difference between the
Dog Chukchs, the inhabitants of the shore.
and the Reindeer Chukchs of the interior
The latter were better clothed and in bet
ter circumstances. Both showed n kind.
ness to their animals unusual in semisav
age peoples.
The coast Chukchs always carried dog
shoes, neatly made of bags of soft leather,
with straps attached to put on their dogs
feet if cut by the sharp snow.
The herd of n Reindeer Chukch came
down from the pasture every morning to
meet their master. The leading stag came
first and bade him good morning by gen
tly rubbing his nose against his master s
hands. All the other deer were then al
lowed to do the same, the master taking
each by the horn and carefully examining
Its condition. The inspection over, the
whole herd wheeled and returned to the
pasture. 1t would be difficult to name an
other beast of burden so tame and 80 eff
Gent as the reindeer.
A good reindeer will travel 100 miles a
day over frozen snow and can draw a
weight of 800 pounds, thus surprising the
dog by one-half in distance and two-thirds
in drawing power .-Londtn Spectator.

The Brownies and Their Authors.

The first Brownie story came out in
October, 1882, long before many of
those who love them to-day were born.
The Brownies have brought good luck
to Mr.. Cox, as they used to for others in
the olden times in Scotland; and it is
for this reason that he never destroys
anything in any way connected with
them. On the wall of his studio are
some toy Brownies made of cloth, wire,
and chamois skin; they were sent to
him by the lady who first manufactured
them, to secure his approval before
putting them on the market. 1t took
her year to get them to look Just like
those in the books. -Four more Brown
stand on one of his desks; they are
"green BLOCKING things made of eggs.
and were given to him as an Easter
offering by two sisters in Detroit. The
heads and bodies are formed of separate
eggs, the arms and legs of wire, and
their clothes of tissue paper. The little
artists succeeded admirably in painting
in water colors the expressions of ali
four. Besides the common Brownie and
those already mentioned, there are the
Chlnaman, the Indian, and the Dutch
man.
brownie Land,-or, in other words,
Mr.. Cox's studio, on Broadway, New
York-does not in the least resemble
what we should imagine a fairies' hid
ing-place to be. We would fancy a
dimly-lighted room, full of all kinds of
queer old fashioned furniture and hang
ings, forming hooks and corners where
the little sprites could play at hide and
seek, or conceal themselves at the an
proach of human footsteps. Instead,
the room is large and very light, with
fine windows through which comes the
continual echo of the city's busy life;
though there are, of course, coy cor.
ners and hiding-places from which the
Brownies might peep to watch their
friends at work. 1t is at very bust
ness-like desk, covered with pencils,
pens, brushes for India ink, and paper,
that the artist seats himself when he
