Hefore the time when the campaign

they were running by the inspiration

DIS the tribunate was noisy-neither
was serious check on his plans. Leg

THE BOY GOT 1T.

and Joy Was General
Among the passengers on a western
train recently was woman very much
overdressed, accompanied by bright
looking nurse girl and a self-willed,
tyrannical boy of about three years.
The boy aroused the indignation of
the passengers by his continual shrieks
and kicks and screams and his vicious
ness toward his patient nurse He
tore her bonnet, scratched her hands
and finally spat in her face, without a
word of remonstrance from the
mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness the mother chided her sharp
ly. Finally the mother composed her.
self for nap, and about the time the
boy slapped the nurse for the fifth
time a wasp came sailing in and flew
on the window of the nurses seat.
The boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said,
coaxingly:
Harry, mustn't touch. Bug bite
Harry
Harry screamed savagely and began
to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother without opening her
eyes or lifting her head cried out
sharply:
why do you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once"
But, ma'am, it's "a"
Let him have it, | say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The scream
that followed it brought tears of JOY
to the passengers eyes.

MODERN METALLURGY,
Beautiful Play of Colors in the Electrical
Furnace.

One of the most beautiful processes
in modern metallurgy is the melting
of certain metals in the electric fur
mace, and it is now possible to project
upon a screen every phase of such an
operation. Some idea of the wonder
full play of colored light which thus
becomes so toned down as to be tolera-
bic to the naked eye may be formed
by description lately given by Prof.
Roberts-Austen of the projection of an
electric furnace during the melting Oh
metallic chromium. AS the current is
turned on the interior of the furnace
appears as n dark crater, the dull red
poles revealing the metallic luster and
gray shadows of the metal beneath
them. Soon these poles are tipped
with dazzling white, and in the course
of few minutes the temperature has
risen to about five hundred degrees c..
lambert halo of green-blue now en-.
circles each pole, the central band of
the arc changing rapidly from peach
blossom to lavender and purple. As
1t becomes necessary to lengthen the
arc. and the poles are drawn further
and further asunder, the regular
masses of chromium fuse in silver
droplets in the midst of light, changing
from intense blue to green of lustrous
emerald. Then the last fragments of
chromium dissolve into a shining sheet,
which reflects the glowing poles in
green and gold, shot with orange hues
Prof Roberts-Austen adds: Still. a
few minutes later, as the chromium
burns, shower of brilliant sparks of
metal are projected from the furnace,
amid the clouds of russell or brown
vapors which wreathe the little crater;
while, if the current is broken, and the
light dies out, you wish that Turner
had painted the limpid tints and that
Ruskin might describe their loneliness
The effect when either tungsten or sill
yer replaces chromium is much the
same, but in the latter case the glow
ing lake is more brilliant in its turbu-
lent boiling, and blue vapors rise to
be condensed in iridescent beads of
distilled silver, which stud the crater

A Judges Strong Testimony.

In recent article Judge Daniel Ag-
new, of Beaver, Pa, gives this testi-
mony: ''1f life of eighty-six years
can confer experience, and give some
knowledge, perhaps mine in and out of
courts of justice and public affairs may
entitle me to small share. Mine is
not the gush of sentiment or cratic
effusion. The first homicide case tried
before me was that of brother who
killed brother in drunken quarrel
while driving cattle. The second. of a
college student, fresh from whisky
chicken roast, killing a poor young
man. The third, that of an English
man stabbed in drunken broil in the
street of village, and the heart of the
victim produced in court to show the
cut the knife had made. So the calen-
dar of crime in the daily press will
show a homicide from drunkenness
for every day in the year. All judges
testify that nine tenths of the crimes
of violence and bIoodshed have their
origin in drunkenness"

As for himself Ben had made up his

not quite sure that the men would fol-

He tore another leaf from his ac-
count book and wrote a separate
pledge thereon, which was: ii promis

His hands were stiff and the pencil
was only stub, and he screwed aud
twisted his mouth, which worked in
sympathy with his hand; but at last
his name APP cared in full on both
