ing is that with one or two exceptions the active
list shows an advance in prices as compared with

A Legal INT.

The following amiable contest oc-
cured in Westminster hall between
Lord Campbell and an eminent queens
counsel. The action was one brought to
recover for damages done to carriage
which the @. C. repeatedly called a
bsoug- ham, pronouncing both syllables
a the word brougham, whereupon
Lord Campbell pompously observed;
Broom il the more usual pronuncia-
tion. A carriage of the kind You mean
IL generally and not Incorrectly called a
broom That pronunciation is open to no
crave objection, and IL has the great adj
vantage Of saving the time consumed by
uttering an extra syllable. Half AN
hour later In the same trial Lord Camp
bell, alluding TO o decision given in
similar action, said, I'm that the car
riage which had sustained injury was
an omnibus' Pardon me, my lord, "
interposed the @. c., "a carriage Of the
kind to which you draw attention is
ueually termed bus. That pronuncia-
tion Is open to no great objection, and
IL has the great advantage of saving the
time consumed by uttering two extra
syllables " The interruption was fol-
lowed by roar Of laughter, in which
Lord Campbell Joined more heartily
than any one else. -Argosy.

Ne Attempt 60 start Up the McKeesport
Fsetory at Present.
McKkEsPoRr. Pa. june 7.-No at
tempt was made to start up the tube
weeks during the day. The strikers are
swarminR around the works and the
depot. Every point is being watched
By them. and trouble will surely fol-
low any attempt to introduce new
workmen or deputies. The Eastern
deputies expected by the river or train
at dsybreak did not appear. When the
FIRST train arrived from Braddock there
was large crowd at the station to meet
the officers, and when it was found they
were not aboard the strikers dispersed
and went to the mill entrance.
The company's announcement, which
was posted and torn down by the mob
Tuesday night. calls for all employees
who desire work ut the rate in force
May II. 1894. to apply before 8 o'clock
Thursday morning, June Z. Not man
has applied for work and not single
piece OF machinery In the immense mill
i being operated. 1t is said the COM
pany will not try to resume for the
present, preferring to wait until the
strikers volunteer to return. For the
first time in many months the river
pumps are at standstill, and all the
fires have been drawn. It looks as
though the works were to be shut down
indefinitely.

Perfumed BUTTERFLIES.

Fritz Muller discovered patches Of
singular scales ON the wings of butter
flies, which sent out more than 80 dis
tinct odors. These scent scales arc called
androconia An excellent study by mi
croscopical sections of the wings of some
Of our butterflies, by Professor M. B.
Thomas, appears in The American Nat
malist. He shows that these scales are
the outlet of unicellular glands situated
at the base of each scale
One especially prominent was detect
ed beneath the androconia in the wing
Of Danais archippus. The surface Of the
wing above the glands is sometimes COW
cred with great number of papill@,
from the end of which the scent scales
project, or it may be like the ordinary
surface Of the wing In the former case
the androconia are quite small and but
one to each papilla, at the base of which
lies the gland. This gives the scent
scale the appearance of small rod
placed in a flask.
The material elaborated by the local
glands and distributed upon the surface
of the wing by the androconia is that
which gives to many of the lepidoptera
their characteristic odor. Philadelphia

ORIGIN of the CocRtan

The drink known as the cocktail was
invented and named by Elizabeth Elan
agan, the wife of an Irish soldier who
died during the Revolution She then be-
came sutler and followed the troops
of Virginian horse which in 1779 win
tered at Four Corners, between White
Plains and Tarrytown, Westchester

hotel, which the American and French
officers frequented- They would come
in after night at the card table for q
''bracer, and Mrs. Flanagan would
provide them with drink. that made
them feel as fresh as cocks tail " In
time the compound received the name
by which it Is now known. Chicago

Adulteration of Rubber.

The adulteration of rubber is some
thing remarkable, and in order tesmake
it weigh more barytes, white lead or
most anything is used. The consumer is
attracted to the product because it is
cheap, but he pays just so much more
per pound for the heavy minerals COM
pounded. Insulating men use very
cheap rubber coming from the eastern
coast of Mexico and Nicaragua. It sells
for about 10 cents per pound and can

Origin Of .Cases Pending.

"sCases pending. :" said gentleman
the other evening to,a number of gen.
tlemen as they sat watching the smoke
form the Havanas curl upward in
graceful clouds. Now, there is a term
in legal parlance you hear every day,
and yet how many Of You know how it
originated?''
Not one knew, and he continued:
Centuries ago lin Germany, when
people We're just beginning to seek re-
dress at law, the courts had not the in
tricate machinery and manner of keep
ing records they now have. Still the
cases multiplied. and they used to write
them down on,a'sheet Of paper. These
in time ACCUMULATED, so they stuck them
ON a long wire which hung over the
judges table. They used to take them
off at the bottom Of the pile, while the
clerk always put the fresh ones on the
top.
Then therel twas always pile Of
cases hanging fover the judges table,
and so the term cases pending natu-
rally came into use. - Philadelphia
