TOO MUCH LENIENCY.

thus get off with a light sentence
John De Long, thirty-six years of age.
indicted with the two boys for the same
offense, was allowed to plead guilty
to petit larceny by Judge Smith, and
-.as given sixty days in the work
house. De Longs good fortune
prompted the attorney of Martin and
Sharp to ask that his clients be SIM
ilarly dealt with, but Judge Pond curt
ly informed him that the court could
make no bargains. He characterized
the crime as highway robbery. and
said it would be ridiculous to have pun
ishment inflicted for petit larceny. The
attention of the court was called to
the fact that De Long was thirty-six
years old, and Judge Pond commented
upon Judge Smiths leniency. FINALLY
Martin and Sharp pleaded guilty to
the indictment. The boys, who are
both under eighteen years Of age, will
be sentenced today.

It is not the electric lights nor the
photographs, nor any of the other
things with which Mr.. Edison's name
is connected that strikes the visitor as
the greatest part of his work. 1t is
the invention of the innumerable
machines with which these things are
made. The idea of the electric light
would have been of no use in the
world without machines for making
the lamps and the other parts. All of
these machines had to be invented
and mado by the electricians, and
there are thousands of them--some no
bigger than toy engine, some as
large, nearly, as house. Many OF
them are so delicate that they are
operated with belt no larger than
shoestring. One of them is used for
polishing jewels for use in the phono-
graphs. Without being touched by
anybody it holds the tiny jewel in
every possible position, shifting it.,
turning it, absolutely feeling it, to
learn whether it is smooth, and all
the while its delicate fingers are at
work rubbing, rubbing at the jewel,
which is no bigger than the head of q
large pin. No boy could move his
fingers more dexterously than this
machine moves its parts in turning
the level around.

bility, and will scarcely bear the pro-
cess of making up without becoming
limp, bedraggled and actually good
for nothing. It is one of the unfor-
tunate features of the high novelty
trade that Immediately an elegant IA
brio is put on the market, some imita-
tion is thrown out to catch and de-
ceive the public eve
There are on the counters of some
of the stores crinkled materials that
absolutely mislead the unwary pur-
chaser. There are alternate puffs and
plain stripes, deep.crinkled waves,
and apparently close and firm shir-
rings thut are made entirely by pres
sure between hot dies. The light
touch that one is supposed to bestow
upon such goods fails to warn the
buyer of the utter worthlessness of it
in the item of durability. Every one
who desires to investigate crinkled
things should take the material be-
tween the thumb and finger of each
hand and gently and firmly pull it. If
it straightens out into perfectly
smooth-surfaced material, it's pos
sibilities of wear are clearly apparent.
OF course, if one merely wants a
fabric for ornament this is immaterial,
but it is almost always the case that
the buyer wants to get what she pays
for, and when she buys crinkled
goods, it is scarcely comforting to
discover that few hours use will
entirely destroy its beauty.

Cleanest Town In the World.

The cleanest town in the world is
said to be Brock, in Holland. 1t
is only a few miles from the capital,
and has been famous for its clearli-
ness from time immemorial. 1t IS
also notable on account of the fanci-
full style of its houses and yards and
gardens and streets. The people,
though only peasants, ere oil we'll to
do, and all feel pride in their town.
1t seems to be the first business of
their lives to keep their houses freshly
painted, their gardens in perfect
order, and their yards and streets as
clean as a parlor. No carts are al
lowed in the streets, and no cattle.
Though the raising of stock and the
making of butter and cheese are their
occupations, stranger would never
imagine that there were any cattle in
the region, unless he went to the
beautiful green meadows at the back
of the houses, or the stables out there,
where COWS are kept in stalls scrubbed
and washed like a kitchen. The streets
are too fine and neat for the feet OF
animals to step on; all are paved with
polished stones, intermingled with
bricks of different colors, and kept so
ecrupulously clean that lady could
walk anywhere in white satin slippers.

Alert While ASleep.

A shepard once, to prove the intel
ligence of his dog lying before the
fire, said, during long sentence con-
cerning something else, and without
changing his tone: 81 think the COW
is in the potatoes" The dog, which
appeared to be ASLEEP says the Bos-
ton Advertiser, iunpe>' up instantly.
and leaping through the window,
scrambled up the turf roof of the
house, from which he could survey
the potato field. Not seeing the COW,
he ran into the farmyard and discov-
cred her. Then he returned and laid
down in front of the fire. The same
Joke was tried again, and the same
performance was repeated. The third
time, however, the dog got up, went
to his master, wagging his tail with a
comical expression on his face, as il
to say he understood the game. The
company began to laugh, and he, be-
ing offended, returned to his corner
with ON offended air and went to sleep,
refusing to be disturbed again.

First Love the True Love.

'Those who believe that first love
is the true love and can never wholly
die will be interested to hear about q
case that recently came to a happy
conclusion up in Pennsylvania" said
Walter Craig, of Philadelphia, at tho
Riggs House. 'tSixty years ago Wal.
ter Chaplin and Mary Harkness lived
on adjoining farms in Luzerne County,
and were sweethearts. There had
been close intimacy between the fam.
flies, and the prospective union of
the young people was pleasantly re-
garded on both sides. Trouble arose
between their fathers, however, over
the ownership of narrow piece OF
land, and bitter quarrel ensued.
The lovers took sides, however, much
against their will, and young Chaplin
moved to Ohio, where he prospered
and married. Miss Mary married also.
A couple of years ago Chapin's wife
died, and year afterward Mary was
left widow. Last winter Chaplin
came back to revisit his old home and
met his sweetheart of sixty years ago.
In March they were married in Wilkes
barre, the groom being seventy-nine
years old and his bride two years
Younger. ."-Washington Star.

One Trial Sufhced.

''Many years ago a proposal was
submitted by some inventor that a
small gun, strapped across horses
back and fred from that position
would be useful, especially in noun.
tain campaigns. The experiment was
made in the arsenal at Woolwich, the
horses head being tied to post, with
the muzzle of the gun pointed to an
old earthen butt, the committee stand
ing on the other side of the horse to
watch the result. The gun was
loaded, and, in order to give time, a
slow-burning fuse was used to fire it.
The committee, however, in tying the
animals head had omitted to take the
precaution of also making fast its tail.
The first result was that when the
horse heard the fzzing of the fuse on
it's back, it became uneasy, and walked
around the post, so that the gun, in
stead of pointing at the butt, was thus
directed straight at the heads of the
committee. Net a moment was to be
lost down went the chairmen and
members. lying fiat and low on their
stomachs. The gun went off the shot
passed over the town of Woolwich,
and fell in the dock-yard, the horse
being found lying on its back several
yards away. The committee were for
tuuately unhurt, and gradually re-
covered their equilibrium; but they
reported unanimously against any
further trial" The foregoing is from
On English source. Is it not identical
with one of "John Phenix's'' stories?

Curinv Cross EYes.

Strabismus, or "cross eyes," are
now safely and almost painlessly cor
rected. The desired result may be
obtained by the wearing of proper
spectacles in early youth; but if the
evil is not then corrected an opera
tion, later on, will be necessary.
The removal of q cataract" from
the eve is one of the most delicate
operations performed by the oculist.
A cataract is formed by the lens OF
the eye becoming opaque, so as to ap.
pear grayish or otherwise, when it
shuts out the light from the optic
nerve. The oculist of to-day cuts
into the ball of the eye and removes
the sdarkened lens, and the opticlan
supplies the defect by artificial lenses
that make good the sight.
The demand for glass eyes is in
creasing as the character and quality
of the eyes improve. Unsightly eye.
balls are now removed in part, leaving
enough of the muscles to rotate the
glass she'll that is placed over them.
Where the work is properly done the
possessor of the glass eye can move it
about with all the naturslness of
real optic, and in many cases it is
very difficult to tell the manufactured
article from the genuine.
All the wild stories about substitute
ing rabbits eyes for human eyes, or
the statements to the effect that
oculists can take eyes from their
sockets, wipe them on a coarse towel
and restore them unimpaired to the
happy patient, are all moonshine, and
any one who is called upon to listen
to any such tales is perfectly justified
if, under such circumstances, he
should wink the other eye.-Phila.

Sheer grass linen is, no doubt, the
material for the ultra fashionable shirt
waist sometimes it shows centre box
plat, with tiny tucks in cllsters on
each side, all edged with narrow VAL
enciennes, which may be either in
white or the fashionable suede tint,
and then the lingerie collars and cuffs
will be of white linen lawn hemstitched.
These are never starched, but allowed
to fall soft and limp.
, The shirt waist and Eton jacket
ever seem to 60 hand in hand, as one
appears to be 80 dependent upon the
other, until the heated term comes to
separate them. The Eton may match
the skirt or not, as the wearer's taste
may dictate, and in its present form it
is made without q centre seam at the
back, very broad lapels and dropping
sleeves. Frequently it is sleeveless. as
the sketches in the double column illus
tration show, and elaborately decora-
ted with braid or braiding. Large or
namental buttons, either in cut steel,
enamel or paste diamonds, are added
to the fronts, generally two at each
side. These sleeveless Etons are be-
comingly worn over the pretty new
waists of dimity. They are in the
very daintiest of colorings and pat
terms.
The dimity waists are delightfully."-
cool and pretty. They show mostly
old fashioned patterns, such as tiny
posies scattered about, and again have
hair lines of color, with tiny sprigs
between. These waists are made gen.
orally with plaits in front and yoke
at the back. and when the coloring
will admit, the waist is belted with
bright scarlet, closing with a silver
buckle in Indian hand work.

COMBINATIONS IN CAPES.

Some of the new capes are made in
very narrow sections that continue up
to the neck to form the collar, the
entire length of the garment, collar
and all, being in one piece. This is a
pretty and becoming style if one can
be satisfied to leave the cordings and
pipings out of it. A cape of ruby vel
vet recently made to fill an order had
heavy cordings of lemon-yellow be-
tween each section. Yellow is the ca
price of the moment, and every wo-
man who can wear 1t thinks herself
quite the mode for the time being.
Yellow is a beautiful color properly
used, but, like all fashionable fancies,
is liable to the greatest misuses, and
women who are simply hideous in
yellow cover themselves VITA it from
head to feet. In all shades it prevails,
from orange to cream. A special view
of elegant costumes recently import
ed showed yellow in some OF its varla-
tions in nine.tenths OF the garments,
and IN millinery it appears in almost
every bit OF headgear on exhibition.

Penetration of Bullets in Snow.

Some curious tests have been made
lately of the penetration of projec-
tiles. According to the report in Cos
mos (Paris) the Lebel rife was the
weapon used, and some snow heaps,
from one to two yards thick, were
placed on the fring-range, situated
near Aurillac, and fred at from dis
tance of fifty yards. 1t was found
that the bullet had stopped at depth
of about five feet It is believed that
the great velocity of the projectile
and its rotation 1850 turns) attracts
to it particles of frost and minute ici-
cles, which end by forming ball and
practically annihilated its penetration.
