Mirrors That Are Transparent.

A great many devices are known for
the purpose of enabling people in
house to see what is going on in the
street without opening their windows.
A new invention of this nature is re-
ported from Halberstadt, Germany, be-
ing plan for so silvering glass that it
reflects the image when looked at from
one side, but when looked at from the
other is as transparent as ordinary
window glass. If this is glazed in q
dwelling-room window anyone inside
can see all the life of the street, while
any passer-by looking in at the win
dow will see but mirror and nothing
more. This avoids, therefore, the
annoyance sometimes encountered in
glazing either clear window glass or
ground glass, in combining the special
advantages of both. One object would
be that many people might stop to ad-
just their personal appearance at such
mirrors. An innovation on reverse
lines is that recently made in one of the
Vanderbilt ball rooms, where the win
dows by day become large mirrors by
night through mechanical arrange
ments, and thus add simply but won
derfully to the brilliance of the scene.

FRED DOUGLASS STORY.
How He Used to Tell the Tale of His
Rise IN Life.

How He Used to Tell the Tale of His
Rise IN Life.
A dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass went
back to Talbot county, Md, where he
was born slave, to buy some of the
property which in the old days he was
forbidden by law to own, because ma
ture had colored his skin brown, and
white men had, by their superior
strength, been able to buy and sell his
ancestors. While there he was invited
to address colered school, and this
was what he. said, says Kate Fields
Washington:
81 once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was slave
and had no one to care for him. He
slept on dirt floor in hovel, and in
cold weather would crawl into meal
bag head foremost and leave his feet
in the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear of corn and eat it
to satisfy his hunger, and many times
has he crawled under the barn or stable
and secured eggs, which he would roast
in the fire and eat.
THAT boy did not wear pants like
you do, but a tow linen shirt. Schools
were unknown to him, and he learned
to spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and to read and write from post
ers on cellar and barn doors, while boys
and men would help him. He would
then preach and speak, and soon be-
came well known. He became presi-
Dental elector, United States marshal,
United States recorder, United States
diplomat and accumulated some

had bad luck ever since the sale was
made and never would have good luck
again until the bargain was undone.
One woman who had sold US her grand
mothers clock fairly wept because it
was gone before she could buy it again.
1.-THE idea is not confined to unedu-
Gated or ignorant people, by any means.
At this very time 1 know Louisville
business man of great culture and re-
finement who is vigorously pursuing an
old wooden desk which he owned many
years ago-a desk on which he made an
enormous amount of money by few
lucky strokes of his pen. The desk
passed from hand to hand and out OF
his possession; he is now earnestly en-
deavoring to trace it and purchase it,
believing that recent business reverses
and hard times will flee away if he can
only stretch his legs once more under
that same old desk"

IMPROVING THE HERD.
All Evolution Dairy Cows Must Begin
with the Calf.


All Evolution IN Dairy Cows Must Begin
with the Calf.
Prof. Thomas Hunt correctly says
that where calves are raised for dairy
purposes it is possible, by judicious
training and feeding, to greatly in
crease their value, for all improvements
in dairy cows must begin with the calf,
and the first point in this is to procure
the best possible sire. No one has yet
fixed on the best COW for all purposes
combined nor can it be said that there
is any best dairy COW One dalryman
chooses Jerseys, another Guernseys,
and others Ayrshires and Holsteins,
and all for the same purpose; and each
owner will say that his choice is best
and will discuss without end the fine
points of his favorite breed. No per.
son can say which is the best COW for
any other than himself, and in improv-
ing his stock the owner of native COWS
can do no better than to choose the
best of these and then procure the best
thoroughbred bull he can, of such
breed as he may fancy. The improve
ment of his herd will begin right with
this step, and may be continuous as
long as he stays in the business. There
is not much danger of the average
dalryman getting to a point where
no further Improvement is possible.
When we find a man who thinks be
cannot make his herd any better than
it already is, we are pretty sure to
have man who is already on the back
track, for if Improvement does not con
tinue, retrogression will be very apt tc
set in.-Farmers' Voice.

HIS LUCK SAVED HIM.
How Very Bashful Young Man Hap
pened to Become Engaged.

How Very Bashful Young Man Hap
pened to Become Engaged.
There have been tales and tales about
funny proposals, but the following
is about the most original on record.
There resides in Syracuse a young man
who has called on a young lady for
three or four years, and fairly worships
the ground she walks on. But his one
trouble has been. his bashfulness. He
could never brace up the point of pro-
posing, though the girl, who also
thinks great deal ofhim, gave him all
the possible chances. To-day the couple
are engaged, and this is the way it came
about.
During the spell Of good sleighing r
few weeks ago, says the Syracuse On.
" Post, the young man took his lady
love out in smart cutter. Never a
word of love was said. They got to
talking about handwritings, and the
young man said that he had about the
worst hand Imaginable. The young
lady was fine penman, and as the
young man praised it, he added fervent-
ly, without any matrimonial intent:
''Oh, wish 1 had your hand!''
Something was then said about ''this
is SO sudden and the next day the
young man purchased the ring.

Latest Wrinkle OF the Fortune Tellers-
Fave Prepared Diagrams.
Gotham is just now overrun with
these parasites, says a New York pa
per. The nonsense of fortune-telling
is one in which not only the ignorant
indulge, but the daughters of wealth
and education are addicted to it. A
surreptitious visit to a fortune teller is
one of the common escapades of society
matrons and maids, and anything new
in that line is bound to recompense it's
operator. A New York astrologer has
set up curious variation of his bust
ness of humbug, and his speciality is
the telling of fortunes by means of
moles. He pretends to be able to read
character and make prophecies by
means of these blemishes of skin. 1t

use, but the difficulties are surmounted
by the professor" in question. He has
printed on cards four outlines of the
female human figure = showing the
form from each point of the compass,
oO W SpCdh. LID OA UlClI LII St
visit are provided with a set of these
cards, which they must take home and
mark just in the right spot with the
moles they happen to bear. They then
return to the fortune teller and he
reads their attributes and destiny from
the diagrams thus filed out. A mole
on the shoulder means one thing, one
on the side has a totally different in
depreciation, and so on through vast
number of locations and combinations.
The fellow has adapted himself to his
particular humbug by growing ire
mendous beard, which makes him look
like a wise man of the east, and he
wears an oriental robe, which in
creases his impressiveness. His gravity
is perfect; he talks like an educated
man, and he is doing an immensely
lucrative business, his price is two dol
lars and his customers so many that
usually one has to wait in the ante
room an hour or so for an audience.
