HUXLEY and Glad.tone.


There was-perhaps there still is-in
England a metaphysical club, Of which
Huxley and many other eminent per.
sons were members. They met once a
month to discourse Of these high mat
tiers. Mr.. Gladstone was one. There
Is no known subject on which the
great parlialnentarian is not ready to
enlarge with copious confidence. He
did on metaphysics at the club and
elsewhere. Mr.. Huxley was once ask.
ed whether MI. Gladstone was an ex-
pert metaphysicion. "An expert In
metaphysics? He does not knew the
metaphysics of the word" was the rath
startling answer. Between Mr.. Clad
stone and MI. Huxley no love, In
truth, was ever lost. Their relations
were neve intimate, and though in
private they met as men do in England
amicably and civilly, no matter how
much they differ In public, there was
and could be no cesdiality.

From the memory Of civilized man
the washing machine has been one Of
the favorite objects on which the In
genuity Of the budding invent, : Of do
nestle appliances has sought to ex-
pend itself. The consequence is that
all sorts Of fantastic and useless forms
Of the washer have had their short day
on the market, and the faith Of the
housewife In q washing machine that
will wash has almost vanished. Among
recent patents is an improved washer
that seems to justify its title. 1t Is
ample both In construction and opera
ton. The clothes are placed In q skel.
eton cylinder, resembling a magntfied
mouse trap. This cylinder is dropped
bottom Of which there is q receptacle
for water and soap. The lid is then
shut down, and the washer Is placed
on q furnace, gas or gasoline stove, or
an electric heater. The water is quick
" heated and the steam Is driven
through the clothes. There is neither
rubbing nor boiling. The impurities
which are forced out by the strong
steam current fall to the bottom Of the
machine, and are thus removed from
further contact with the linen. The
great advantage Of this machine Is
that 1t does the work itself, and its in
ventor claims that in two hours 1t will
dispose of laundry work that usually
occupies q whole day. Its cleansing
and disinfecting qualities are said to
have been 80 conclusively demon

the washer. In four minutes 1t was

fectly available for future use. Thick
canvas bags, encrusted with dry paint

they were clean. The paint was saved
and the bags were ready, when dried,

Mrs. Gaines looked into the face of

"VNhy, fathers boom, of course"
"NWho is going to cut it,"
"Old Sam Doward and his men.
They are planning how they'll do it
tonight, and let all the logs down the
river and lose themselves in the big
lake." said harry Gaines, talking 80
rapidly as to he hardly Ineligible.
Harry was fifteen, the only son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Gaines of Mill

latter the property of David Gaines.
"Old Sam hates father like poison.

Il suppose So" murmured the moth
er. Its an old feud, and Samuel
Doward is wholly to blame. But that
does not help matters any. Tell me
what you heard, Harry"
II was over to towards playing
with n of his boys. We were in the
barn, when I heard them talking-old
Sam and two Of his men. They had q
bottle of whisky between them and
drank from 1t every few minutes"
perhaps it was the liquor that did
the talking, Harry" suggested Mrs.
Gaines.
Il don't think so. Old. Sam was So
Der enough to know what he was talk
Ing about" declared Harry. HE ar
gued that as all our mill men had gone
on to Muskego to spend the Fourth,
and father ives absent In Chicago, now
would be q good time to cut the boom.
He said sore Of his logs were in the
boom, and that would give him a law
ful! excuse If father made fuss"
1T would not, though"
Maybe not" ca!d Harry: "but once
the boom is cut and fathers logs-all
he has cut and stored during the past
year-gone into Lake Michigan, Of
what use to sue old Sam? He could
not collect a cent"
The mother knew this to be true,
Samuel Doward was a lumberman
without character or standing in the
community. He owned a small mill
five miles below Millpond, and made
2 great flourish without doing much
business.
1t was true that a few of Doward's
logs had 11oated inside the Gaines
boom. The latter had agreed to sort
these from among his vast accumula-
tion of logs Us rapidly al possible, and,
In case of any damage to the lower
mill owner, to pay literally.
The Gaines mill shut down for two
days on account Of the national holi-
day, the mill men going to Muskego,
twenty miles distant, to celebrate.
AS Mr.. Gaines was absent in Chi
cago, there were left on the mill side
Of the river only two families, while
Doward and a crew Of a dozen red
shifted loggers occupied the settlement
opposite.
"What will father say If he comes
home tomorrow and finds himself
ruined by his neighbour"
HE will know that he is ruined by
his wicked neighbour" said the mother
in a helpless way. "Oh, 1t cannot be
that Samuel Doward will do such a
terrible thing. Go to him, Harry, and
plead with him"
"Never!" exclaimed the boy, with
flashing eyes.

One WAY to Get Rid Of Fle.,.

ty having become badly infested by
fieas, n of the professors devised
the following ingenious plan Of get
ting rid of them. The negro janitor
was furnished with n pair Of rubber
boots on which were tied sheets Of
fly paper with the sticky side outward,
right up the leg. The janitor was then
made to patrol the floor of the hall for
several hours Of the day. The result
pleased everybody, and especially the
professor. The sheet Of fly paper
soon became black with fleas, and had
to be changed at intervals, and the
building was almost completely rid

The Bicycle I'm Futuro War.

- VV0E0.
Military authorities have come to
the conclusion that the bicycle will
play an indispensable part in the wars
Of the future. Its sphere, at least in
its early military stages, will be that
of the uhlan of the 1870 war. The
cyclist, In preliminary operations, will
act as an impenetrable advance cloud
or screen for the army, pushing far
ahead into the enemy's theater Of op-
erations, making his power felt long
before he enemies have a chance to
come together, paralyzing the enemy's
communications, making descents now
here. nov there, often rashly and
often making mistakes. In spite of
this, he will always be able to obtain

sian cavalry in the early days Of the
Franco-Prussian war; always acting
IN company with light horse artillery,
with II gunners mounted on bicycles,
and not according to the present out
OF date system, on ~caissons. With
these and the flying cyclists, it is be-
heved that the modern army has an
offensive combination such as has new
er been equaled. The cyclist will he a
crack shot with the rife, and that win
be his only weapon. He has n de.

In that he is not bothered by the
question of forage. On poor roads and
In poor weather the cavalryman has
everything in his favor, and this viii

the bicycle with suspicion. Against
this radical disadvantage is placed the
fact that under moderately fair con.

cavalryman two to one, or 100 e

cyclist may have to perform in the
next war is to act as the anvil for the

Illuminating Opaque Objects for the
Microscope.
The illumination Of opaque objects
for the microscope has. for high pow
ers. been hitherto almost impossible.
NJ. Oh. Fremont has described an ex-
tremely ingenious method Of carrying
out the desired end. Inside the body
Of the microscope Is fixed a concave
mirror, which reflects the bundle of
rays Of light received through an
aperture in the side. and rendered
parallel by an interposed prism,
through an object glass. on to the OBJ
feet under examination. 1t Is difficult,
without seeing the contrivance, to un-
derstand how the eye, and at the eye
piece end, can see the object. This Is
clearly provided for by the simple ex-
pedient of boring a hole through both
mirror and prism in the track Of the
rays passing from the objective. From
this device great service is anticipated
in the chromo-photographic study Of
the movement Of microscopic beings.
