Eccentric Monkish sculptors.

The work of the monkish sculptors.
both in wood and stone, shows vast
amount Of humor. Witness the gar
goyles of our old churches and the
devils, half human, half animal, which
adorn the upper galleries and form the
corbels and brackets of many cathedrals.
These one can scarcely believe to have
been modelled seriously as conceptions
of the spirit Of evil, for, if the doctrine
of the personality of the devil were held
faithfully, it is scarcely probable that
artists would have expended their satire
upon as terrible and vindictive person
as the arch fiend, nor would the monks
have allowed their misereres and stalls
to be decorated with burlesques of. his
satanic majesty. Good Words

THE UNHAPPY CABMAN.
One Of the Gotham Fraternity Tells q Tai
Of Woe.

One Of the Gotham Fraternity Tells q Tale
"a claimants life amt all beer and
skittles, I" said an up town Jehu the 9th
er day. Nobody ever thinks Of givin
poor cabby tip, and lots Of 'em seem
to take sort Of pride in never payin a
cent more than the legal fare. A man
don't haggle over Is cents in store, but
he will fuss over that rate card till he's
black in the face for fear he'll give me
too much. After that they'll walk of
and stick out their chests as though they
had done good action. They calls it
bein strong minded, s'pose, and strict
~ just and all that sort o. blarney-
mean, calls it. More than once I've
driven well dressed man down town
and had him jump out and 60 into one
o. them big Office buildings.
"'Wait, ses he. 'I'll be out in a min
ute.
"Well, sayi HI'd waited till he come
out I'd be there yet. All them buildings

s'pose he can't fool the cable car out Of
nickel, but he can do me out Of dol
lar. Some Of 'em will get out Of cab
in some mysterious way when they gets
towhere they want to go. You drive on
to the address they've told you, likely
10 or 10 blocks farther on, and find your
cab empty. How they do it is one too
much for me. It makes lots Of noise get
tin out of cab when it's movin, but
they do it. Women don't often beat a
man out Of his fare, but they re pretty
bad about payin 'em. I'd rather take
my chances any day on blufin a man
out of more'n his fare than woman.
You can't rattle woman half as easy
and she's twice as obstinate.
about the only time we get cinch
is in winter when there's lots o. slush
around. There amt any talk then about
drivin to the station house and askin
the sergeant at the desk what's the fare
from Twenty third to Fifty-eighth
street. Take it all round, cabman's
life is dogs life, and yet there's just
as much competition as in anything
else. New York Tribune.

Heat Value Of Coal.

The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about or per cent
Of the total heat value Of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1902 degrees Of heat, or heat units
not degrees Of temperature-to change
one pound Of water into steam, while
during the absorption Of this amount of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
Of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
-212 degrees are apparent upon Their
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make up the 1909 degrees above men
tioned-go into the engine unindicated
by the thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste. New York

cRoMWELL's FIRST STATUE.
An Image OF Wood and Wax Carrie
Through London In 1868.

An Image OF Wood and Wax Carried
Through London In 1868.
When Edward Burrough, the Quaker
"Apostle of London" whom George
Fox called his "Son Of Thunder" was
passing through Charing Cross on his
way to the city, upon the "22d day Of
the ninth month";" 1858, he found the
streets crowded with people. "The
guards of soldiers, horse and foot, " says
he, "stayed me and stopped my horse and
said might not pass that way. Mel
ther, indeed, WILL" adds he, ''by rea-
son of the throng of people
When he inquired the reason Of "this
thronging and pressing Of multitudes,
he was told that they all came out "only
to see dead image and invented fea-
ture, without life or breath, which would
be carried this way" It was not the
great Protectors body, but dead image
Of wood or wax, arrayed and decked
with foolish inventions, and it twas to
be carried from place to place. that day
between Somerset House and Westmin-
ster, as was usual in the time Of popery,
for multitudes of foolish people to gaze
upon and wonder after and admire"
The jealous Quaker thought the statue
Of Oliver Cromwell all the more an in
suit to his memory because she was
once a great instrument in the hands of
the Lord to break down many idola-
trous images and grievous idols And
have they now, said my spirit, made a
costly image Of him? And are such as
were once his soldiers, who pulled down
images and crosses, and all such popish-
like stuff wherever they met with it,
now guarding his image and watching
over it, and his children and officers
following it, multitudes Of the inhabit-
ants of London gazing after it? This is
sad, said I, and great pity. Is this
the end and final farewell of once noble
Oliver?'
Edward Burrough concluded that it
was ga judgement" upon Cromwell to
be thus wronged after his death, because
he had suffered the servants of the Lord
(the Quakers) to be prosecuted and inn
prisoned for crying against such things
as were popish. He says that Cromwell
himself would have been angry at it.
81 knew the man when he was living
and had the knowledge of his spirit.
And am persuaded if it had been asked
him in his lifetime if such an image
should be made like him, and then set
up in such a place, I believe he would
have denied, I say, and said, 1T shall
not be there for me, when am dead.
If it had been his bones, added the
Quaker, ct should not have had aught
against it, whereas it was but an image
made by hands,. - So Burrough went
home and wrote his Testimony Against
Great Idolatry. ''-Westminster Gazette.

How to Clean Old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon fiat surface a
sheet Of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned. Carefully
dampen the print ON both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with mixture Of chloride of lime and
oxalic acid dissolved in about equal pro-
portions in pint of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
it's turning magenta color. Continue TO
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American

ney J. H. Sutherlin left for Golden, south

in the weekly edition of the New MEXICAN,
which announces that tomorrow morn
ing at II O'Clock, in the town of Golden,
the sheriff of Santa Fe county will sell at
public auction the four lode claims and
the Huntington mill of the Gold Eagle
Mining company to satisfy judgments
amounting to $2,132.17, with interest and
costs to be added, in favor of E. P.
Hackett.
The lode claims offered for sale are the
Las Vegas, the Sunset, the Sunnyside and
the Hazelton, situated in the San Fran
cisco mountains, near Golden, and all
located on the 18th day of Nov, 1892, by
Samuel G. Wright. The mill and ap-
pliances are said to be in good condition.
Those who ought to know say that the
property is worth great deal more than
the Judgments and costs.
