A Samson Pawned the Guillotine.

The Sansons have place in French
history, not only because they continued
so long to hold their odious office, but
because two of their number, father
and son, held Office during the evil days
of the reign Of terror, when they We're
kept so busily engaged with their gull
lotine. The last of tho Samson dynasty
was dismissed from his post in the reign
of Louis Philippe, in 1S47, under re-
markable circumstances. Although he
had inherited comfortable fortune
from his father, the executioner of the
revolution, he got into pecuniary diff
culties and was guilty Of pawning his
guillotine, surely the most lugubrious
pledge ever taken by mortal pawnbro-
ker. An order came from the procurator
general for the execution of q criminal,
and the necessary apparatus was not
forthcoming. The prison authorities had
perforce to get it out of pawn, and the
execution took place. But the last of
the Sansons was informed that his serv-
ices would 10 longer be required. What
became of him afterward does not ap-
pear to be known. don News

The Ball Nozzle.

According to Chief Bonner, the ball
nozzle which has excited so much inter
est throughout the country is destined to
work a radical and highly beneficial
change in the Eystem of fighting fire.
Instead of working at distance with
straight streams, tiremen, by using the
ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings
and work at close range, thus not only
doing more effective work, but averting
to considerable extent the serious dam
age to interior property, and i'll many
cases this system will enable firemen to
save the lives of inmates of burning
buildings. Tho man who has given the
world an appliance of such value is GER
tainly entitled to the gratitude of his
fellow men.-New York Tribune

The Woman Medical Writer.

A London writer, with due respect
for women journalists, thinks that the
only department of Il paper that should
be closed to a woman writer is the med

Confined Sound.

The intensity of confined sound is
finely illustrated at Causbrook castle,
isle of Wight, where there is we'll 200
feet deep and l2 feet i'll diameter. The
we'll has IS feet of water in it, and the
entire interior from top to water is
lined with smooth masonry. This lining
so completely confines the sound that a
pin dropped from the top can be heard
very plainly to strike the water, at a
distance of 1879 feet below. Another in

HOW TO TELL A BAD EGG.
An Infallible French Method Which Re
auires Only Lighted Candle.

quires Only Lighted Candle.
When one calls for fresh egg in a
Partisan eating house, the chances are
that one will be properly served. Not
that there are no bad eggs in Paris as
we'll as elsewhere, but there are certain
men employed at the central markets or
halles whose only duty is to sift the bad
or doubtful eggs from the good ones. In
one of the cellars of the halles one sees
man passing his hands rapidly before
his eyes and in front of a lighted candle.
Around him are baskets containing
thousands of eggs His duty is to sepa-
rate the bad ones from the good, and he
is remunerated at the rate of rs CEN
times, or Is cents, for 1000 eggs.
He accomplishes his work with ex-
traordinary deXterity. With ono hand
he takes three or four eggs and brings
them to the exact position he wishes be-
tween his eye and the lighted candle as
If by magic For an egg to be good the
part that appears black must be COM
pletely detached from the part that ap-
pears white. In other words, the yolk
and the albumen must, through the
transparency of the shell, be seen to be
quito separate. The white looks as if 1t
radiates about the central nucleus, and
this nucleus is simply the embryo of o
chicken, which being denser, floats in
the liquid which nourishes it. When
there is confusion between the trans
parent and the obscure part, the egg is
doubtful
To sort eggs out quickly requires q
long experience. The selection of winter
provisions is an especially delicate task.
In addition to reporting on the freshness
of eggs, these operators in tho central
markets also examine the size of eggs.
Those that pass through q certain sized
ring are put on one side as too small.
The employee separates eggs merely by
touching them. AS tho French markets
are flooded with the produce of tiny Ital-
ian chickens, the task is often o very
long one.
The men are all sworn in to do their
work honestly, and with their serious
and automatic look they make between
81. so and So day The other employees
of the halles bow down to them and are
ever willing to acknowledge their scien-
tifio superiority. y.-Philadelphia Times.

TO AN OLD VIOLIN.


Could It but speak. what strange and moving
stories
What tales of joy and grief, it would unfold,
of faded beauty and forgotten glores,
Of love and sorrow in the days of oldl
Perchance it played the grave and stately
measure
While powdered couples trod the minuet;
Perhaps it was u beggar's only pleasure
Or helped prince his trouble to forget
All, violin, we dream and wonder vainlyl
Time with the sweet June roses never stays.
The past is dead We cannot learn more plainly
The buried history of forgotten days.
Yet, as faint and odorous sweetness fingers
With faded petals, though their bloom be fled,
So, charmed anew by sympathetic fingers,
You bring haunting memory of the dead
So, as of old, you speak in tendorest fashion,
Mellow with memories of unseen years,
To raise our minds from worldly care and pas
sion
And stir the thoughts that lie SO close to
tears

Tho Mystery of the Constant Chinese De-
mand For Ginseng.


Passing through the wholesale district
the other day reporter stopped in at
one of the large houses to ask about
prices. When ginseng was reached in
the list, tho dealer said:
"What the Chinese usc ginseng for is
to the masses one of the mysteries of the
age, but that they gobble up every ounce
of the herb that the known world sup
plies is nevertheless q fact. because the
most thorough inquiry has failed to
bring about Il complete unfolding of the
secret is not regarded by the average
American as sufficient reason for refus-
ing from $3 to So per pound, on the
average, which the Celestial offers for
the root. Some of the largest firms III
China make specially of handling the
American export of ginseng and coin
money at it. Some of our shrcwdest
traders have coaxcd for the secret, and
have offered money for it, but the gray
matter at the other end of the China
man S cue doesn't seem to see it that
way.
"The American ginscng is growing
scarcer yearly. The cultivated root has
not the wonderful power which fixes the
value of the wild articlc-at least it
does not manifest itself to the same de-
gree. This fact renders the cultivation
of ginseng rather Improbable. 1t might
be planted and allowed to grow we'll for
years and years and then be salable at
good figures, but not otherwise. The
older the plant the more pronounced the
wonderful properties of tho root. In
view of the fact that it is growing
scarcer, unless the demand diminishes,
the price of ginseng must go materially
higher within the next few years.
eve encounter somo funny expert
ences in buying the root. The diggers
are often the poorest people, and far
from enlightened Well, the root is hard
to get, and when it is thoroughly dried
the weight shrinks like nickel's worth
of soap after a hard day. washing, so the
digger resorts to all sorts of deccptions
to fudge an ounce or two i'll pound
and reap more of the precious dimes and
dollars. For instance, we have frequent
ly gotten in root which was we'll dried,
but suspiciously heavy. Upon investiga-
tion we found that many of the pieces
were loaded with lead, thus almost
doubling the weight of the whole lot.
This was done with a great deal of cum
ming and ingenuity. When the root was
green, it was split, and lead melted and
poured or driven in in slugs. The root
was then allowed to dry, and in tho
process the seams entirely close up, COM
pletely hiding the lead, which, in case
like this, was almost worth it's weight
in gold. "--Nashville American

LIZARDS IN A TRANCE.
One Medical Authority Regards It as q
Kind of Hypnotism.

hinu OF hypnOt1sm.
An English scientific journal has re-
ceived an interesting communication on
the subject of the SO called death
feigning instinct" of certain reptiles.
The correspondent, who writes from
Syria, says that when certain species
of Egyptian lizard is captured it makes
few vigorous efforts to escape, and
then, if held firmly, falls into limp,
motionless state, which might easily
lead an inexperienced person to think it
dead. The animal, however, is simply
In trancelike condition
Gentle respiratory movements are
visible just behind the shoulders and
sometimes show rising and falling
rhythm with short intervals Of complete
rest. The eyes remain wide open, but
are commonly half closed, and the lids
wink slowly from time to time spon-
taneously or by reflex action. The
mouth is almost open, sometimes wide,
sometimes but littlo, and in either case
the jaw is quite rigid. and if closed by
force is apt to reopen when the pressure
is withdrawn. The limbs lie extended
and semiflaccid, with some approach to
a cataleptic condition. e., if bent or
stretched into position not too strained,
they maintain such positions when let
go-and the same is true of the trunk
and tail
A pin may be run through fold of
the skin without fully arousing the ami
NAL, sluggish, feeble wriggle being
the sole result. The trance usually lasts
about five minutes, when the animal,
by brusque effort, assumes its normal
position This done, it lies quite still,
but evidently awake and observant for
few moments more, and then scuttles
off i'll a hurry.
DR.. Van Dyck looks upon this mani
festation not as voluntary or conscious
death feigning, but as form of hyp-
notism. The natural enemies Of these
lizards are foxes, jackals, martens, birds
of prey and snakes.
Can any one believe" asks Dr. Van
Dyck, that any ono Of these animals,
having captured lizard, would be in
the least inclined to let it 30 because it
lay motionless and apparently dead in
the captor's grasp? Or will it be argued
that the trance condition is special
gift 'in mercy to tho victim, to mitigate
or abolish tho pain of death?' Pitts

Up at Hampden Park, in Springfield,
when the Massachusetts antipool law
was rigidly enforced few years ago,
Uncle Ed Morse and other pool sellers
cleverly evadcd it by putting up for sale
at auction" cards having printed on
them the picture of horse. How
much am l offered for this picture of
Prince Wilkes:" was the query. "Sold
for 500 to Mr.. x. Prince Wilkes sold
for 800, what do I hear for shis pic
ture of Patron?" 1t was easy enough.
All the change was that the auctioneer
had to say few more words.

A Chinese Custom.

A quaint custom practiced by Chinese
mothers when a child is restless and
does not sleep is to write the following
verse and pin copy of it on each of the
four corners of the house that the pass
ersby may read and the child find rest.
Literally translated the verse reads:
Brilliant sparkling heaven,
Brilliant sparkling earth,
In my house there is child who cries at night.
The gentlemen coming from the four quarters
behold
Peaceful sleep till break of day.
