Opie Read and Nixon Waterman have

during their reading tour in Wisconsin.
The most amusing was one TINT bcicll
them at Waukcsha. They were billed TO
read Mt the First Congregational church,
but by the curious stupidity OF n native
they were directed TO the Presbyterian
church, where prayer meeting WAS

coadjutator marched into the church
and took seats in Il front pew. Present

mounted the platform, and started IN

race, card play and other similar
worldlincss. We can fancy whit the
auditors thought all the while Mr.,
Waterman was making this dreadful
show OF himself AS for Mr. Waterman,
he could not help wondering why the
people were SO chilly. Other audiences
had received this particular recitation
with every manifestation OF approval (;
why should the Waukcsha public be so
rhary OF its sympathy and applause;
Mr.. .Rcad--hc, too, wondered why the
auditors were so chilly. Indeed, he be-

would he I've able 10 awaken any onthusi-
assn with his Arkansas stories and his
sketches OF southern life? But all sus-

Mr.. Waterman concluded his little per-

from front scat and coldly asked what
all these things meant. He was not

Mixed the Packages I'm.

Here's story that sounds rather fishy,
but it is true nevertheless. Mr.. Clarence
Z. Moore, the city official = everybody
knows him-has girl, and he loves to
send flowers to her. A few Saturday
nights ago as Mr.. Moore was going home
he made two purchases. One was the
loveliest basket of flowers; the other big
fresh fish. The flowers he intended for his
girl; tho fish for his Sunday morning
breakfast. He employed a negro to de-
liver the two articles, sending nice note
to the fair one. What made the negro
forget the instructions given him by the
city official and what manner of reasoning
he employed to arrive at the conclusion
that the fish was intended for the young
lady is another story:
But certain it Is that in due time the
lovely basket of flowers was left at the
home of Mr.. Moore and the sea smelling
fish was deposited into the hands of the
astonished young lady. She read the note
accompanying it. Wear it to church, he
saysp' she exclaimed. Whats the mat
ter with himf Wear this fish to church,
Neverr' and she caught at the mantel to
keep from fainting. She had a good fish
for breakfast, anyway, and Mr.. Moore
scratched his head in perplexity over a
basket of the sweetest roses-Atlanta

Wouldn,t Trust Him.

While an amateur was photographing
an inn man came up to him and asked
"How much do them likenesses costi Oi
should like my house took"
"Well," said the photographer, entering
into the spirit of the occasion, "that de-
pends on the size Of the picture"
"As large as you can take 'em."
"Well, then, the price will be shilling"
But upon this the would be customer
began to bargain. A shilling was toe
much, he thought, but he would give six
pence.
"But mind ye," said he, "Oi won't pay
till Oh gets ther picture. Oi doan't trust
yer phografrer fellows, Oi doant."
He must have been surprised when some
weeks later he received photograph OF
his cottage, neatly framed by one of those
"phograffer fellows" and all for nothing.
Perhaps he thought it was only by acci-
dent that the little bill for sixpence was
not inclosed.-Across England in Dog

Detecting Flaws in Metal.

Engineering tells that new instrument
called the schisiophone has been invented,
the object of which is to reveal the pres
ence and the place of any blow holes, flaws,
cracks, or other defects which may exist
in the interior of a piece of metal. When
these defects are very great, the blow of a
hammer on the piece of metal soon betrays
their presence, but for small blow holes,
although these may also be very danger
GUS, there is not enough difference in the
sound given by the hammer striking the
piece of metal for it to be detected by the
ear. The schisiophone, however, will en-
able that difference to be heard. The ap-
paratus consists mainly of a pin which
runs through microphone of special
construction and of an electric battery.
When the pin strikes on good part Of the
metal tried, sound is produced, the vi
brations of which affect the electric cur
rent in certain way, and then a certain
sound can be heard in the telephone at
tached to the instrument. When the pin
strikes on part of the metal where there
is defect, the sound produced is different;
the microphone, the current and the tele
phone are then affected differently, and
the defect existing in the metal is revealed
by the difference in the sound heard at the
telephone

The Paris depot for lost articles, or. as
the French term them, found objects, holds
over $4,000 articles, and of these some A.
600 are umbrellas.
A curious feature of the depot is that
only 10 per cent of the lost articles are ever
claimed What, then, becomes of an un-
claimed findP 1t invariably reverts to the
finder after lapse of time varying usually
from three months to year. Thus two
small street arabs, who recently found 1000
francs in notes, will soon claim this sum,
and last year the finder of 10000 francs had
the money handed over to him.
Special measures are taken to prevent
dishonest persons claiming articles which
they see conductors find in omnibuses. 1t
Is not woman alone who drops her things"
in her anxiety to pick up. her skirts. The
doctor leaves his case of instruments, the

the depot. And yet, after all this organ
lied effort to restore lost articles, out of
100 losers only 10 succeed in recovering
their property.-London Tit-Bits.

Some Old Verses on Rings.

So unscientific thing as the old fash
Doned posy ring has been the theme Of a
lecture before scientific assembly. Posy,
1t seems, originally meant verses presented
with flowers, and fiourished when bouquets
were called nosegays. Later the word was
applied to the flowers themselves. but af-
terward altered its meaning to the senti
ment or motto inscribed upon presenta-
ton ring. 1t was in these days that the
commonplace wishes, you never knew a

one worth quoting was that Of the groom

Obeying Orders.

The Duke of Wellington was very strin-
gent in respect to obeying orders The
Iron Duke" as he was sometimes called,
was never disposed to be lenient toward
the slightest disobedience, but could re-
ward and appreciate strict fulfi1ment of
directions. Lord Derby was entertaining
the duke at one of his country mansions at
time when certain repairs and improve
ments were going on. Some of the walls
were to be decorated and the central hall
floor tessellated.
In order to prevent injury to the floor,
Lord Derby furnished several pairs of sip
pers, which were placed near the door, and
he directed young man who was at work
on one of the walls to order any one that
came in to put on a pair before crossing
the passage
IF any one fails to attend to you," lie
added, "you must put him out"
Soon after a party returned from hunt
ing, and Wellington, with his splashed
and muddy boots, opened the door and
rushed along the hail. The young man
Immediately jumped off the ladder on
which be was painting, and seizing We'll
lington by the shoulder, fairly pushed him
ont of the house.
In the afternoon Lord Derby summoned
all the household and men at work into
the study, and seating himself beside the
great warrior demanded to know who
had had the impertinence to push the
Duke of Wellington out of DOORS
The painter, all of a tremble, came for
ward and said, ''It was /, my lord"
"And pray" rejoned the earl, chow
came you to do it?".
The man then repeated the directions
given him that morning, and said, II was
only obeying orders, thought, SIR"
On this Wellington turned to Lord
Derby. and smiling, took sovereign out
of his purse, which he gave to the work
man. saying, tYou were right to obey
orders. ."-Youth's Companion. -

THE EOllAN HARP,
A Latter Day Improvement Upon the Curl
Gus Instrument of the AncIents.


The @olian harp is not very well known,
but 1t Is very curious and is supposed to
have been invented by Father Krcher, the
Jesuit sayant, who lived In the seventeenth
century and invented many ingenious ma
chimes But the fact of the spontaneous
resonance OF certain musical instruments
when exposed to a current Of air had struck
the observers of nature in times of remot-
est antiquity. One of the Talmuds says
that the harp of David sounded when the
north wind blew on 1t, and it has been suR-
gested that he had an faolian, as we under
stand It.
Kircher's harp had Is strings of cat gut,
and the force of the wind was DETECTED ON
TO it by various shutters or screens. In later
times this was improved upon by Messrs.
Frost and Kastner, but was similar to tho
preceding form in principle and construc-
ton. The molian harps in the old castle of
Baden-Baden and those In the four turrets
Of Strasburg cathedral are celebrated.
These are all made Of strings stretched
over sounding box and require tuning to
keep them in harmony. They are also
large and cumbrous and have limited
number of strings, which makes the music
more or less monotonous, and they are de-
pendent on the wind from one direction
only.
The changes of temperature and damp
ness of the atmosphere make them con-
stantly out of tune, and indeed often cause
the strings to break. These difficulties
and drawbacks have hitherto prevented the
molian harp from being so we'll known and
popular as such an interesting and curious
instrument deserves to be, but the latest
development of this harp, named molia, in
vented by an Englishman, is step in the
right direction.
The music is produced by sensitive me-
tallic reeds instead of strings, so that it
never requires tuning, and as there are 80
separate notes there Ia a great variety of
sound
1t is intended to hang on the bough of
tree and may be left there without danger
from the weather. It turns round before
the wind and is therefore exposed to every
point Of the compass, and the music passes
into an organ pipe, by which it is greatly
enriched and improved.
Besides, the eolian harp possesses re-
markable properties which act upon the
nervous system and cause very different
impressions, according to the temperament
Of those who listen to its accords. An Eng
lish physician, DIR. J. M. Cox, asserts that
lunatics have sometimes been calmed by
the sweet and varied music of an Bolian
harp. Other observers declare that seolian
sounds will produce sleep.-Waverly.
