To force crowd of people to move
fast or slow at their will was a favorite
joke with two young men who had a
talent for music. When travelling to-
gether, they would seek a retired win
dow, or even the roof of the hotel where
they were stopping, and with a drum
and fife play march for pedestrians
below. 1t was their delight to see these
people going faster or slower, as they
chose
Sometimes a brisk measure was Sc
lected, and then the stream of people
flowed fast. Again, a slow tune set
their feet to crawling. 1t often happen
ed that the attention Of the musicians
would be attracted to the peculiar walk
of some person who, having no music
in his soul, could not be brought into
step In that case they performed No
manned s miracle of the mountain, and
accommodating fife and drum to his gait
brought the rest of the street into the
same pace
On warm days they did cruel execu-
ton. Often did it happen that some
stout old gentleman would be precipi-
tated for some distance at a lively rate
under the hot sun and would disappear
from sight as a brisk and fiery execution

1t is truly amazing thing, this Euro

some such queer things over there that
one would think that corn would seem q
mighty blessing In the course of two
long journeys over various parts of Eu
rope we have never but once found the
cereal, and that was at a hotel almost en-
tirely patronized by Americans and kept
by a man who had lived in America in
Paris. We were talking Of corn to an Eng

you really eat it in the States?' why,

&C E. NJ, Austin, writes as fol-
lows. Water which is perfectly visible
will not cast shadow, while steam,
which is invisible, does. To explain, the
water in the water gauge Of my loco
motive casts no shadow, while the steam
IN the upper part of the gauge does
Why is this?
Answer--Pure water in a state of rest
is Of uniform density, and the rays of
light, although they may be refracted,
pass through it almost unimpeded III
parallel lines. On the other hand, steam
is composed of vapor of varying degrees
of density and always intermingled
with more or less air. In the steam
gauge these are constantly IN a state of
agitation, so that when the rays of light
enter it they are not uniformly refract-
ed. This being the case, they interfere
with and neutralize each other, the re
suit, as far as the shadow is concerned,
being as If the steam and the intermin-
cling had really com bined so as to form

HOW THEY cor TOGETHER.

The Way In Which the Union OF Two
shows Came About
"a year ago "A Cold Day" and "Chip o.
the Old Block were separate shows,
the frat under the management Of Per
kins D. Fisher and the other under the
management Of Robert L Scott
Ore night, through the Anticipated
ness OF various managers. both of them
were billed to play the Crawford house
In Wichita The contracts had been
made and signed by the house manage
ment and with managerial obstinacy both
show proprietors absolutely declined to
waive their rights in favor Of any body.
On the day preceding the momentous
night both com panie5 arrived in Wichita
and special detachment of police was
held in readiness to put down a riot All
day there was a triangular discus
sion between the two show managers and
the opera house man. Fists were shaken
and suits were threatened, and there was
altogether strong smell Of sulphur in
the Wichita atmosphere.
Suddenly the Wichita man, who was
the meat ia the sandwich. jumped up
and cracked his heels together He had
an idea
why don't you both pIays" he OK
claimed.
Happy thought There was a three
cornered embrace, and it is said some
tears were shed. Then the showmen
Tipped nickels to see which piece should

managers claim that they could dip dol

One Of the most remarkable and con-
fusing epitaphs ever written IS to be
seen on a weather beaten stone in the
quiet churchyard of Culmore, a few
miles from Londonderry, Ireland.
ssHere lie the remains Of Thomas
Nichols, who died in Philadelphia,
March, 1888. Had he lived he would
have been buried here -
This is equaled perhaps by an epitaph
from a tombstone in Ulster, recently
copied by a traveller in that country:
ITO the memory Of Thomas Kelly,
who was accidentally shot by his brother
as a mark Of respect. y
Another curious epitaph is legibIe on
a tombstone III the churchyard of Wood
bridge, Suffolk, England:

The Deficiency In the ButtOnhOIe Situation.
A long felt want has just been filed
by the invention of migratory button
hole. This is the way the originator de-
scribes it:
"A readily removable and transfer
able attachment, adapted to be fitted to
an article Of personal wear. to tempo
rarily repair a broken buttonhole, con-
sisting of d strip of nOncorrOsive material
folded upon itself, so that its blight may
be fitted over the edge Of the garment
and its folded members made to clasp
both sides Of the part Of the garment
through which the broken buttonhOle is
made, the members having openings
formed in them near the centers, with
the major axes extending transversely
of the width Of the folded members the
openings adapted to coincide with each
other and with the broken buttonhOle,
and Independent and readily detachable
fastenings for immovably securing the
free ends Of the members to the gar
ment to point beyond the broken but
tonhole. -
So there need be no more marrying
for the sake of button sewing. Those
that are married already shall keep so.
The rest can use the patent portable
buttonhole. Boston Transcript.
