1.-THE END.l
SLOT MACHINES.
One of the Most Novel of Them is Ten
Thousand Years Old.

Thousand Years Old.
Probably one of the latest appliances
of the principle governing the opera
ton of the slot machine is found in
the hot water fountains which have
been brought out in France, says Cas-
sier's Magazine.
These fountains are put up in the
public street and afford the conven-
fence of supplying at any hour of the
day or night a certain quantity of hot
water in return for a coin of certain
value, which is dropped into the slot
in the now so familiar way. The
dropping of the coin automatically
governs the flow of water from the
street mains through a small boiler,
heated by series of gas jets, and sim
ilarly regulates the quantity of gas
which is admitted, and which is lighted
by means of a small, constantly main
tanned ignited jet.
The French hot water machine
brings back to mind very strikingly
the apparatus designed more than two
thousand years ago by Hero, of Alex
andria, which furnishes one of many
similar illustrations of the extent to
which the ancients made use of what
are often supposed to be entirely mod
ern ideas.
Curiously enough, Hero's machine, it
may here be repeated, was operated by
coin representing five drachmas.
The coin, in falling, st uck a lever,
opened a valve and let out a small
quantity of holy water. When the
coin fell off the lever the valve was
closed.
Hero went still further, however, by
inventing an automatic bartender on
the coin-in-the-slot principle. This
was a vase containing three kinds of
liquor in different compartments, with
q faucet arranged 50 as to be opened
part of the way by one coin, still fur
ther yet by a larger or heavier coin,
and then still further by still larger
or heavier coin
The extent to which the faucet was
opened determined which chamber
should communicate with it, and hence
which of the three liquors should be
allowed to escape. This machine. ap-
parently. has not yet been reiavented.

Made to Look Aged.
You will have to go long way be-
fore you find a body of men more
well, clever - than those cabinet
makers who produce goods to satisfy
the desire of the public for furniture
made of old and fancy woods. They
can, says Waverly Magazine. trans
form white wood into all kinds of ex-
otic woods by means of chemicals, and
a chemist would be surprised if he
were to have the run of one of those
factories for day.
The manufacture of ''old" oak is one
of their easiest processes. The boards,
holdings, panels or whatever pieces
are required are made of oak which
has just had time to dry sufficiently to
prevent excessive warping.
They are then placed in a dark room,
on the floor of which, and quite close
to the furniture to be aged" are
placed several bowls, plates, and SO
forth of liquid ammonia; the room is
then Theoretically closed up and the
wood is left for a month or two, ac-
cording to the age which is required.
The coloration will extend to depth
of nearly a quarter of an inch if the
room is kept closed for taw months.
That is why there is so mnch old oak
furniture about. OF course. n little re-

SIGNED IN BLOOD.
Contract of Murderous Members OF
Moonahinera' Association.

Contract of Murderous Members OF o
Moonshiners' Association.
Charles 7. Dazey, the author of I'm
Old Kentucky" relates some interest
ing stories about the moonshiners of
Kentucky and Tennessee, with whom
he associated while visiting that sec
ton in search of material for his play.
81 became more or less intimate with
many of them" said he to New York
Times reporter, land learned of the
existence of a very strange sort of as
sociation having its headquarters in
one of the counties in southern Ken
lucky, bordering on Tennessee. The
object of the association was to pro-
tect the members from the government
and to encourage the manufacture and
sale of Illicit whisky. Whenever a MEM
ber of the band was arrested by the
'revenooers, as the revenue officers
are called, three or four others would
testify to an alibi Each member was
bound by an oath signed in blood to
kill anyone who informed on another.
In this way they hoped to protect each
other from the raids of the deputy
marshals. The secret leaked out in
some way, and for a time-until the
band was effectually broken up-the
men, when captured, were taken TO
Louisville for trial; but there's just as
much moonshining done away back in
the fastnesses of tho mountains as
ever"

EsoUlMAux USE TOBACCO.


TnGy MIX the weed with II Inc Aut W0od
to Make It Go Farther.
Perhaps there is nothing more pecul-
lar about the Esquimaux of Point Bar
row than their methods of using to-
bacco, which, of course, they procure
from the whites. They know good
from bad tobacco. says the Washington
Star. When they get hold of few
plugs of commissary tobacco from q
vessel of the United States navy they
show a marked appreciation of IL. The
habit of chewing the weed seems to be
universal. Men, women and even un-
weaned children keep quid, often of
enormous size, constantly in the mouth.
The juice is not spit ont, but swallowed
with the saliva, without producing any
symptoms of nausea
These people, for the sake of making
their tobacco go further, cut 1t up very
fine and mix it with finely chopped
wood, in the proportion of about two
parts of tobacco to one of wood. VII
low twigs are commonly used for this
purpose, possibly because they have q
slightly aromatic flavor. The mode Of
smoking the weed thus prepared Is
out the bowl of his pipe with little
picker or bone, plucks from his deer
skin clothing in some conspicuous place
q small wad of hair. This he rams
down to the bottom OF the bowl, the
purpose of it being to prevent the fine
tobacco from getting into the stem and
clogging it up. The pipe is then filed
with tobacco, of which it only holds a
very small quantity. The tobacco Is
then ignited and all of it is smoked
out in two or three strong whiffs. The
smoke is deeply inhaled and is allowed
to pass out slowly from the mouth and
nostrils.
The method of smoking would be
found exceedingly trying to any VIII lite
man. In fact it usually brings tears
to the eyes of the Esquimau, often pro-
ducing giddiness and almost always q
violent fit of coughing. A native will
sometimes be almost Frustrated from
the effects of single pipeful. These
people carry their fondness for tobacco
so far that they will actually eat the
foul, oily refuse from the bottom of
the bowl, the smallest portion of
which would produce nausea in civil
lied person. This habit has likewise
been observed in northern Siberia.
They also eat the tobacco ashes, per-
haps for the sake of the potash they
contain.

PROTECTED TREE WOVEN TRKE GUARD.
fully one-third of the trees had been
gnawed, four of them being completely
girdled. The tracks showed plainly
that the mischief had been done by
rabbits My neighbor brought his
dogs, and we hunted the entire locality
over. but could find only two rabbits.
In the stomach of which we found tree
bark. We followed their back tracks
and found that they had come from q
swampy tract, six miles distant
immediately bound up the wounds
on the trees with strips of cloth, and,
rs soon as the ground thawed little,
I took four-inch drain tiles, broke them
open lengthwise, and, removing the
cloth, inclosed each OF the trees with
one of them, binding them together
with small wire. These tiles were
then filled with fine soil. and kept full
until the first of October. when they
were opened and the trees examined.
In every instance, the wounds were
entirely healed, the bark having grown
over them, and tho trees were in n
healthy, thrifty condition In . few
cases roots had started out from the
edges of the healing wounds, but the
autumn drought had stopped their
growth During the last three years,
Ihave tiled quite large number of in
jured trees for neighbors and friends,
and in every instance they have healed
completely.
1t is advisable, however, to adopt ef-
fective measures for preventing injury
to trees by rabbits and mice. and thus
save much labor and anxiety. 1t can
be done easily, an follows: Take COM
mon plastering laths and cut thsm in
halves; then with flne wire, weave five
to eight of the pieces together. ut the
top and bottom. as shown in Fig. /,
the same as wire and lath fence Is
woven, and set them around the trees,
as seen in Fig. ., giving the ends of
the wire twist about each other, to
hold them firmly in position. This
makes a very effective and cheap guard,
eighteen inches high, and one that will
last four or five years II the laths are
dipped in crude petroleum, they will
last ten years, and prevent pigs and
sheep, az well rs rabbits and mice,
from injuring the trees--G. Frederick,

The following note was made in
France in 1882: Mr.. M. Carillet, OF
vincennes, took up young pear tree
and grated it with roots in the air on
another tree. As the pear used rs
scion was on general ounce roots, the
queer spectacle was presented Of ounce
roots in the air above two varieties Of
the pear. Before the end Of the first
season the ounce roots threw out
leaves and short branches The next
year the ounce shoots grew to q
length of thirty inches The nextspring
four varieties of pear were budded on
the ounce shoots. So at present the
plant is made up as follows: The base
stock is on ounce roots. On this il
another pear with its roots In the
air On the ounce root, or on shoots
coming from them. are four other va
rietics of the pear.

had been to the opera, and was asked
what he thought of it, says the Chi

They're lazy" he replied, shortly.
"Who are lazy?" inquired the man
who had spoken to him.
"All of them" was thereby. There
seems to be lack of good business
management that results in dead
waste of time"
"Who are you talking aboutp"
1.-The singers" he said, promptly.
"They Just loaf and take their time
about everything. One of them took
nearly five minutes to get through a
two-syllable word, and the audience
applauded as If she had done well at
that. It's an outrage, sir, to waste
time that way If they'd just get
some live business man to take hold OF
the show he'd put some of those songs
through in half the time and finish the
whole show without missing thing
an hour earlier than it's done now. III
bet if was running it those big-stNar-
led singers wouldn't loaf on their Jo"s
as they do now. And the fiddlers are
pretty near as bad. They just draw
the thing out as II they were afraid to
work, and the crowd doesn't seem to
catch onto the way it's bamboozled.
Why, we've got an old, broken-down
singing teacher out our way who can
put any one of those songs through in
anywhere from five to fifteen minutes
