By way of a London paper it is learned
that an American woman has lately re-
ceived what must be termed the most
original of wedding presents. 1t is a
musical dinner service, of which each
plate begins to play a tune when put
upon the table. The soup plates are ac-
credited with marches as suiting the
temper of the guests at that moment OF
sclemnity, but a dinner progresses and
the wine and courses do their enliven-
ing work the harmonies brighten ac-
cordingly till at dessert the covers are

of metropolitan society He has gained
greater publicity, however, by figuring in
frequent brawIs like that with Colonel
Cody, and a short time ago narrowly es
capped being sent to Sing Sing for assault
ing a New York policeman.
Colonel Cody is known to international
fame as Buffalo Bill, the scout, sharpshoot-
er and showman--a veritable dime novel
hero in the flesh. Cody was bred on the
plains and killed his first Indian when he
was II years old. He served during the
war as q scout in the Seventh Kansas regi
inent, called ''the Jayhawkers," and after
the conclusion of hostilities returned to the
wild life on the plains, taking contract to
supply meat to the men constructing the
Kansas Pacific railroad. Under this con
tract he killed 4, $50 buffaloes and earned
$500 month and the sobriquet of Buffalo
Bill"
He clinched his claim to the title in
buffalo shooting contest with his rival
Billy Comstock, whom he defeated by a
score of SO to 46. Cruel sport, " this, where
the dull brutes We're rounded up" and
slaughtered like cattle in an abattoir, but
we must remember the time and the eX
element of a personal challenge There is
no record of Bill again shooting buffaloes
for amusement.
In 1868 he was made chief Of scouts under
General Sheridan in the war against the
Dog Soldier Indians, and he did invaluable
service as a guide over regions utterly I'm
known to the military. During four years
he remained at Fort Mcpherson, where he
arranged buffalo hunts for many visiting
sterners-foreigners too, among them the
Grand Duke Alexis.
In 1872 he went to New York, fell in with
some actors and went on the stage. His
career since that time is well known to all
readers who are interested in it.

An interesting experiment is about to
be carried out at Brighton in the shape
of the construction of a marine railway
for the purpose of connecting Brighton
with the little village of rockingham,
some three or four miles to the east

rock with concrete, and at high wa5er
will be covered by he sea Which, how
ever, win not affect the carriages, the

Storing Heat.

The plan proposed by a London engi-
neer for storing heat is believed to possess
decided advantages over others which
have been brought forward, the main
feature being the use Of boilers and en-
gines to produce heat during the day in
specially constructed reservoirs. AS the
water in the boilers is raised to $50
pounds pressure it is conducted to cylin-
drical reservoirs, resembling English
horizontal boilers, and stored there for
use when wanted. In this way a com
paratively small boiler plant can be used
for heating the water TO $50 pounds pres
sure all through the "A hours of the day,
and the stored water may be drawn on
at any time, according to the extent Of
demand-the steam engines to be worked
by the steam generated by the release of
pressure from this water, the valves to
be arranged in such a manner that the
steam shall work at 1870 pounds pressure,
In favor Of this system, the statement is
made that a reservoir feet in diameter
and 30 feet long, containing some 81, 900
pounds of heated water at $50 pounds
pressure. will supply $3.50 pounds Of
steam at 1870 pounds pressure.-New

We have the word Of Alfred Pennyson

1t is singular that the great laureate
omitted to mention the fact that it is in
the spring that considerable portion
of the human race turn to taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but the
difficulty of finding good rhyme for
that invaluable remedy deferred him.
Certain it is that the old-time domestic

of the standard blood purifier, Hoods

greatest popularity all over the country
