An Old Story in New Form.

The platform of the electric car
vas pretty well taken up by the
driver, a man of the 'slugger" va.
riety, and big bag, over which
the man of the 'tslugger va
riety appeared to be standing guard
When the conductor came to collect
the fares he looked sharply at the
bag, and then said to the tough:
'.l'll have ter charge yer fer that
Dag"
.'I'll bet yer WON'T" answered the
nan, looking angrilY at him. as il
any attempt at collection would in
duce prize fight.
'.Yes, 1 will, an II yer don't pay,
I'H put ther bag of. See?" said the
conductor shortly. He gave the man
five minutes more, asked him a sec.
ond and third time, then stopped
the car and put the bag of on the
sidewalk. The 'slugger" didn't
even move, and when the car had
gone about mile further the con
ductor said tn him:
"Yer don't care much for that ba0
lf you wouldn't pay cents for it."
"Ah, come OIL" was the reply
whats der bag got ter do wild me:
'Tain't mine. I'd "a told yer so Il

Miniature Electric Battery.

In contrast to the very large genera@
tors Of Observation-Disclosures and dyna.

mon use to-day, 1t may be interesting
to note what Is perhaps the smallest
electric battery ever constructed. and
no doubt also the smallest generator
of electrical or mechanical energy
This battery was constructed some
years ago by one Of the electricians of
the Boston Telephone Company, and
consisted OF an ordinary glass head
through which two wires. one of CO..,
per and the other of iron, were looped
aud twisted so as to prevent tlicir CON-
ing in contact. The wires actcti us the

Acts ms His Own Horse.

A middle-aged man walked int
town to-day dragging cart in which
was a horseload OF bedding. camp
utensils, etc. He stopped to rest
near the fume company's office and
was soon surrounded by L curious
crowd OF people. The stranger. who
appeared to be a little queer in the
upper story, stated that he had just
come in from Markwood's Meadows,
near Kenyon's, in Fresno county, and
was on his way to firebaugh. lie
was rather reticent about himSelfand
spoke only in answer TO questions.
1t was learned that he had been
travelling for loug time, dragging
the cart behind him.
"Why don't you get a lony:" asked
one Of the curious.
II don't want any," said the pedes
train, ut would give me too much
touble to find feed for horse"
Don't your team ever get balky:'
asked bystander.

traveller with a smile, As he took The
shafts of his cart and struck out at {
dog trot down Yosemite avenue IL
the direction OF Firebaugh.

Why 1t Is ssa Table Cat"

Some writer's on the curiosities OF
Inimal nomenclature tell us that the
reason We call q feline of certain
markings of color ''tabby" cat is be.
cause Tabitha was the goddess of tho
crooked-clawed species. Wagner's
'.Names and Their Meaning, although
it has q splendid department on the
nicknames of birds, does not refer to
those applied to the animal species at
all, therefore it will be of no use to
consult that work to find out why a
"tabby" cat bears its unique name. or
why tJerusalem" donkey is SO called.
In curious old work printed in Lon
don, in 1606) entitled, '.Names An.
piled to Animate Things" I find the
following, which seems to explain the
tabby cat enigma: "The terme TAB.
bic Cat is derived from Atab, . fsmou,
streete in Bagdad, cittie of the Ori.

Manufacturers Of silken stuff called
'atabi. the waved markings of the

some Idea in Canal Navigation.

F, W. Warner, in paper recently
read at meeting OF the Rochester
Academy of Science, favors the adop-
tion of a cog system on the Erie
canals, by laying an iron track in the
bottom of the canal and making con-
nection with it by adjustable cog
wheels. securing perfect alignment
and requiring little power He says:
II believe in the near future we shall
see long trains of eight or ten boats
moving east and west in our water
ways at the speed of not less than
fve miles an hour. The trains will
move noiselessly and the power will
not be expended in churning up the
water and damaging the ca al. These
boats will be run on schedule time
with greater accuracy than the rail.
way trains The entire cost of trans.
portation can be reduced to much
less than one fifth of the present rate.
Besides this, the carrying capacity of
the canal would be more than quad
'upled."

Ind where His angels vigils keep,

Beneath the brown September leaves
Where wind Of autumn moans and grieves
vhoush wintry tears thy grave shall steep
Little one, sleepi

Eometime the April suns will peep
Above the hills. green leaves will spring
Around thy bod, wild birds will sing
And springtime's earliest roses creep.

Never dreaming OF the storms that sweep
The human soul in mortal sin,
With fears without and foes within
New grief CT bitterest anguish heap
Little one, sleep!
Little one, sieepl
Thy happier lot shall be to reap
joys with no sorrowins seed to SOW;
Smiles where no binding tears shall fow
From life to life one painless leap

Striving to turn the Joy We miss
Into a hope OF holier bliss.
