Lightning Cookery.

Prince Bismarck's old chef, who is
now head cook in big Berlin restau-
rant, recently won novel bet and
gave surprising exhibition of his
mastery of the culinary art. He had
wagered $50 that he could kill, clean,
cook and serve chicken, oil in six
minutes. The wager was decided aS
night in tho cafe of the restaurant in
tho presence of II big crowd. Tho cook
appeared at 9 o'clock on an improvised
platform, upon which stood gas
cooking stove. Ho held live chicken
high over his head, and the fowl
cacilcd loudly. One blow of the keen
carver severed the head from the neck,
and the cook began to pick tho
feathers with great swiftness. 1t took
just one minute to get rid of every
feather. In less than another minute
the expert had opened and cleaned the
fowl and had placed it upon broiler
on tho gas stove. The cook busted
himself Mt The broiler, seasoning the
fowl rs it cooked. 1t lacked just n
second of tho sixth minute when he
stepped from the platform and served
the chicken to tho nearest guest amid
great applause. london Figaro.

A Reversible Waterfall.

The most picturesque, rs we'll Ms the
most striking, manifestation of tho
tidal rise and fall is Mt the mouth of
the St. John River, Mt st. John, New
brunswick. Here may BIO witnessed
on every lido n change of conditions as
sudden and rs complete MS quick
change of scene in drama the beauty
of the landscape, enhanced by tho
lnndiworll of man, adding greatly to
the impressiveness of tho phenomenon.
This is locally known rs the reversible
falls" although reversible rapids"
would DO moro appropriate. In map
of st. John and it's enYirons, drawn
in 1874 by m officer of the st. Johns
Loyalists, tho matter is referred to in
n marginal note:
''Tho falls in this river are Justly
ranked among tho curiosities of tho
world; they are ut tho mouth of the
river, about ono mile from tho en-
trance, and are navigable four times
in twenty-four hours, which commands
great attention, rs only few minutes
are required to pass in safety.
"The tide rising from twenty to
twenty-four feet, Mt high water is six
to eight feet higher than tho river,
which occasions fall in tho river MS
well as out, the whole water of tho
country having to pass between two
rocks sixty yards distant"
The scene of these rapids is beauti-
full gorge through which, in remote
ages, the river appears to have forced
its way. For twenty minutes on each
ebb and flood the river hero is as
placid as mountain lake on q tran-
quill day. Suddenly q streak of white
spreads across the gorge, and in n few
minutes the calm is succeeded by the
turmoil of rushing, whiring waters.
The. reflections of the rocky shores and
of the graceful outlines of tho suspen-
sion aud cantilever bridges which span
the mouth of the gorge are obliternted
rs if n mirror had suddenly been ruth
lessly shattered. = Scribner's Maya

nIlblical LAW.

i.
In The carly days of interior Mis-
wood, cleared up his homestead farm,
and was employed upon one side of
yearly every case that came up, being
Tor somo years the only lawyer in tho
county.
He had no books except an old
leether-cevered Bible and an old vol
umo or two of history, similarly bound,
but had read law short time i'll Ken
lucky in his youth. He was very small
and insignificant in appearance, but
became before his death splendid
lawyer and an honored Judge.
A young attorney from tho East
settled in the little country town, with
his library of about half a dozen now
and handsomely bound law books, and
on his first appearance in case no
brought most of his library to the JUS
iico's Office in fine, beautifully
lowered carpet bag, popular in that
day. E was engaged against him,
md, as usual, hnd not u book.
When his adversary carefully drew
his books from his pretty carpet bng
and laid them on tho table, e
looked astonishod, but quickly recov-
cred his ready resources, and asked
tho Justice to excuse him for q few
moments. He hurried to his home
stead, half milo or so AWAY, and put
his old leathcr- bound Biblo and his
tories into grain snok and brought
them to court, initiating his opponent
in laying thom before him ON the
table.
Tho evidence was introduced, an,l
tho Eastern man, being for tho plain.

read ut length from his text books.
E. mado his characteristic speech
in reply, closing by reading law from
his old Bible just tho reverse of That
read by his opponent and took his
sent, putting his Bible on tho table.
His adversary reached over and
picked it up, and seoing what it was
eagerly addressed tho Justice:
'Your Honor" said he, "this NM
is humbug and pottifogger Why,
sir, this is tho Biblo from which he
has pretended to read lnw"
Tho old Justioo looked indignant
and interrupting tho young attorney,
said:

Cnuso oi Tnrnnilnns.

From tho Gulf of Mexico to tho
North Pole and from tho lakes to tho
Rocky Mountains is n vast extent of
country crossed by no mountain chains
to intercept or rotard the velocity of
mir current. The extent of this coun-
try is equalled by none on earth. Cold
air being heavier to the square inch
than warm mir, tho cold air, when COM
ing in contact with warm current
from the south, always predominntes,
forcing the warm air into tho upper
currents. Tho cause of cyclones is tho
meeting of head wind from the north
with head wind from the south. They
meet like two vast armies of men. Tho
pressure Mt tho point of meeting is SO
great TINT tho mir, by comprehension,
becomes heavier to tho square inch
than wood or tho human body, hence
ner that wood will float in water-it
floats because it is lighter to tho square
inch than water. Place water in au
ordinary wash bowl and remove tho
plug and it will DO observed TINT in
passing out tho water forms circular
reaction. Air being liquid does tho
Same i'll passing either upwards or
downwards hcnco the funnel-shnpcd
spout of tho cyclone centre. When
two immense bodies of mir coming from
opposite direction meet, the only
cgrcss is upwards and sideways, and in
passing upwards it forms the funnel
the samo rs water passing out of n
washbowl downwards Tho theory that
II cyclone forms n vacuum is absurd.
Withdraw mir from glass jar with mn
nir-pump, and, feather within
the vacuum formed will drop with tho
same velocity rs lead, or, on tho other
hand, you can compress air until it fs
heavier TO the square inch than wood,
in which case wood will font in tho
air. The lifting power of cyclone is
caused ~ by the compression or den
sity Of the mir, md (2) by its velocity.
Combining tho power of density with
that of velocity, which occurs mt tho
centre or funnel, no power can resist
it. The feeling of suirocation or diff
entity i'll breathing when near the track
of II cyclone is caused from tho COM
preston of air. = Minneapolis Tribune.

Men. Ealing Snakes.

The existence of man-eating snakes
has been doubted by naturalists, butt

who has Just returned from the Philip
pine Islands. ''In 1856 was liyino

herder and frequently in the woods.
Several times he told us of tho exist.

became incredulous.
Zone day Picul was missing. His
gun and hat were found in tho woods
and brought in. One of the native
hunters examined tho ground and gave
his opinion. Picul must have been
caught by q snake, US no blood had
been shed, but there had evidently
been q struggle. The next Sunday, in
company with an Englishman named
Mason. and their native crackers, took
to the woods to look for our lost sery-
ant. The natives lead us to the edge
OF q track of submerged land, covered
with long grass. The water was about
three inches deep. Here in the mud
was tho track of big snake. The de.
preston made by the body in the mud
was quite eighteen inches wide. Sud.
denly one of the men called out:
"Iookl lookl' Three hundred
yards away the water was agitated in.
to waves, and gliding toward us was
yellow snake that looked 100 feet long.
The head was rs large as bucket. It
was o bright yellow, striped with
black. To watch it gliding toward us
was trying on the nerves, but We
waited and at forty yards gave it two
loads of buckshot in tho head. 1t
reared ten feet out of the water and
lashed about, but finally sank and the
natives hauled it on the bank with a
rope. 1t was just thirty -eight feet
long-our fears had added the other
sixty. To keep it from the white ants
it was at once cut open and skinned.
Inside was the lower jaw of n human
being and leg and thigh bone, while
a loin cloth was rolled into perfect
knot, no bigger than mans fist, and
this Picul's sisters identified, SO the
poor fellow had fallen victim to this
horrid reptile. New York Telegram.

One Hundred aud Twenty-Five Thousand
Miners Said to Have Struck.
COLUMBUS, O., April 3.-President
Mcbride, of the United Iron Workers,
was busy during the day in comparing
press dispatches and newspaper reports
of the big strike with information at
hand. His revised estimate shows that
more men have struck in the competi-
tive district and fewer in the outlying
districts than anticipated but the total
number Of men out remains about the
same as given, 1876. 900.
In Illinois he states there are $4,000
out of 80, eco miners idle, in Indiana,
5000 out of 5000 and in West Virginia
about 2,C00 out of 5000. Conventions
are to lie held in Illinois and West Vir-
ginia on Tuesday next when efforts will
be made to bring all the men into line.
President Mcbride expects definite in
formation by letter from nearly every
district soon. There seems to be no
doubt but the suspension in Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania is about COM
plete. The organizers are most active
in West Virginia and Illinois, National
Secretary Mcbride having gone to the
latter place to address meetings. No re-
ports have been received of any disturb
ances and none are expected as
friendly feeling seems to prevail.
