How to Manage Them.

Waban in Newton, says the Boston
Transcript, was named from an In
dian chief Of that name. He was a
magistrate, and the following is hand
Cd down as warrant issued by him:
You, you big constable, quick you

When Waban became superannuated
a younger magistrate was appointed
to succeed him. Cherishing for age
and long experience that respect for
which Indians are remarkable, the
new officer waited on the old man for
advice. Having stated a variety Of
cases and received satisfactory an.

indoor Bicycle Riding.

Nowadays every one wants TO ride
bicycle, but many do lot attempt
it because they dread the ordeal Of
learning. In the first place, they dis
like the idea of abrasions and bruises,
and, In the second, they can hardly
bring themselves to the sacrifice Of
dignity which the founderings Of the
beginner usually entail. They need
no longer hesitate. The bicycle can
now be learned indoors, safe from
prying eyes and without fear of falls.
A new appliance designed for this pur-
pose consists of a small fy-wheel, COW
cred with rubber, and two side wheels,
fitted with simple arrangement by
means of which it can be adjusted to
any kind of cycle in two minutes. Its
great advantage is that the rider eX-
periences the same momentum as in a
spin on hard road, while the ma
chine either remains stationary or
moves so slowly that in traverSing
hfteen feet the same amount of exer-
else is obtained as in a mile of or
dinary travelling. Practice can thus
be carried on in hall or room, and
the riders can gauge the rate Of speed
their exertions would have given them
on the highway. For beginners, chill
dren and invalids needing physical ex-
ercise this invention is specially adapt
ed as it stands perfectly steady and
enables the difficulties of mounting
and dismounting to be thoroughly
overcome without any danger of falls
or bruises. The appliance is collap-
sible, weighs fifteen pounds and can
be easily carried in the hand.

HATCHED IN ASHES,
A Chicken Mikes Its Appearance
Under Peculiar Circumstances.

OAueE Iecul1ur ClFCu"SCanCeSs
H. NJ. Hewitt has the misfortune to
have his hen house attacked by mites
pretty early in the season, and about
three months ago he removed the roof,
so that the house might be thoroughly
aired, summed and washed by the rains.
He also built a temporary shelter for
the fowls on the other side of the yard.
filled the old nests with ashes and tried
to wean the chickens away until every
thing was in readiness for them 1t
transpired that an old hen, who felt
the love CT locality strong in her breast
refused to be comforted in the new
abode, and returned to the old home,
laying eggs in the ashes which filled
her former nest. It was S0fhe DAYS
before the perigrinat atoms of this old
hen were discovered, but at length the
nest was broken up and the hen shut
up in solitary confinement that there
might be no fear of her spreading the
mites broadcast among the other fowls.
About three weeks after this Hewitt
went in the old hen house to inyesti-
gate the mite question, when what was
his astonishment to hear n young
chicken cheeping He looked in all ii-
rections, thinking one might have wan
dered over from the new fowl yard,
and it was some time before he found
that little chicken was just bursting
the shell in the nest among the ashes
where the old hen had lain.
Knowing beyond a doubt that none
Of the fowls had been in the yard for
a period Of three weeks, Hewitt was
forced to conclude that he had over
looked an egg that day when he cooped
up the old hen. The result was that
this egg, having lain buried in the
ashes, was warmed by the sun during
the long-continued drouth which this
section is now experiencing, until in
cubation took place spontaneously, as
it were, and the little chicken came
forth a veritable child of the sum-

Nice Measurements.

A new device now in use in the
psychological department at Yale re-
cords what is called the reaction time
of a sprinter, that is the interval be-
tween the signal to start and the
actual start. The time thus consumed
in carrying a sensation through the
ear to the brain, translating it to an
order to the muscles and transmitting
the order along the nerves so as to
move the muscles, is usually from one
sixth to one-third of a second. The
apparatus will measure the thous-
andth part of a second. The firing Of
the starting pistol breaks an electric
circuit, and the first movement of the
runners foot breaks another. Each
break makes mark on a moving cyl
inder. and from the position of these
marks the time can be measured.

MISTOOK BOZENTA FOR A VAC,
A Restauranteur Sees His Error ant
Makes Amends.


When pretty Helen Dungeon won some
reputation as an actress, says the San
Francisco News. and her father took in
dollars galore over the counters of pop
ular restaurant. an individual almost as
seedy as the typical tramp sauntered into
the swell place at the dinner hour
Nearly every table was filed with the
gilded youth. male and female, of the
city. A thrill of astonishment and indig-
nation swept through the perfumed crowd
when the battered old scarecrow hung
his hat on peg, snatched an evening pa
per and looked around for waiter with
the air of one who owned the place.
Old Dungeon, in horror, stepped from
welcome guest.
..Haven't YOU made a mistake, my
friend?" he said.
The old tramp looked up with a smile
and replied in excellent French: II think
not. my friend: is not this the cafe?''
"Certain1y it is," replied the patron,
"but you know-you know-it is for the
upper classes"
"Oh, I see," said the stranger, with an
aire of amusement, "and my costume is
not exactly en- regle. But I have only
this afternoon returned from my ranch,
and got here ahead of my trunks. How
for my dress I shall have to go to some
other cafe" and he handed Dungeon his
card.
When the patron glanced at it and read
Count Bozenta," he was profuse in his
apologies.
It was, indeed, Mime. Modjeska's hus-
band, and the gilded guests about the
room were astonished at the obsequtous.

Royal Baking Powder is the purest
and highest in strength of any of the
baking powders, and hence makes
more, finer and better food. These
are the official facts as set forth by
the U. s. Government and the various
State Chemists reports. OF course
great efforts will be made by those
interested in the sale of the cheaper
made, alum powders, to continue their
sale where consumers have made up
their minds to have the Royal and call
for it at their grocers. The Royal
Powder is so much superior to all the
other preparations for quick raising.
that it will amply repay housekeepers
to use the necessary persistency to
procure it in spite Of all objections.

Smelling Iron by Electricity.

Important developments are immi-
nent in the iron-smelting industry.
The days of smelling iron with char
coal are passed, especially in districts
where the cost Of fuel is high An
Oregon iron manufacturer says that
While iron is manufactured in Ger
many at IS per ton, it costs here $40
per ton for fuel to smelt the metal.
In Alabama, where coal and iron
mines are close together and negro
labor is cheap, the iron is smelted for
So per ton, and the freight on it to
Portland is $40 per ton. Pig iron used
to bring $50 to $35 per ton in Oregon,
and finally it was reduced to $23. This
left but little profit, when the fuel
cost $40 to the ton of iron and rem
dered competition with Alabama iron
impossible. The Oregon ironmaster
regards smelling by electricity as the
cAly hope for the iron industry in his
state. BY utilizing water power to
generate the electricity it will be pos
sible to smelt iron as cheaply there as
elsewhere, Electrlc smelling Works
have :s.,,reaay been started IN For1laQq,
where piece off iron was recegty ez
hibited which had beef made by elec-
tricity from black sand in twenty
minutes. \,

They Are the Bane of the Ship Com

q rumpus with the sea lawyer.
"The fellow 1 refer to as the sea
lawyer is the one Or more sailors al
most sure to creep into every fore
castle at one time or another, who,
being little better educated than his
mates, becomes their leader and pro-
ceeds to make himself solid with them
and a deadly enemy Of the captain
and officers by quoting maratime laws
to them that never existed and filling
their heads with nonsense and mag
mary wrongs. He'll tell them they
must have plum duff every day, ac-
cerding to law, and they'll believe
him and raise cain if they don't get
it. He will persuade them they are
worked too hard, and every man Jack
of them will desert the ship at her
first port of call. He will make them
believe they own the vessel before he
gets half through with them, and " ill
instigate half-dozen or more dam
age suits against the ships owners
among them as soon as they set foot
ashore
''The "sea lawyer is generally a
sneaky fellow, who makes a steady
practice of deceiving honest sailors
and getting them into trouble and then
leaving them to get out as best they
can. He is hated and dreaded by
every sea captain afloat, and there is
only one way to argue with him-that
is with Delaying pin. I have known
more than one bloody mutiny to be
stirred up by a sea lawyer '-Balti-

An Electric Gold-DredSe Plant.

An Electric Go1d-Dredge Plant.
An interesting account has been re-
ceived of the applica ton of water
power in producing electricity for use
in gold dredging in Shotover river,
New Zealand. The water is obtained
at creek one and a half miles dis
tant from the dredging ground and
brought by q race cut in the side of Il
hill, or, in places where the ground is
not suitable, in timber hume to a
pressure tank at level Of 524 feet
above the pipes at the generator
house. From the tank the water is
carried in rolled steel pipes to a Pei
ton water wheel, which drives the
dynamos by which the dredge is actu-
ated. The dredge is constructed for
the most part of steel, and is capable,
when operating at depth of twenty
feet, Of an output of ninety cubic
yards per hour. 1t is worked at night
by the light of arc lamps. The dredg-
ings are delivered through q revolv-
ing screen for separating the stones
and coarser material, upon baiZe ta-
bles set at an inclination of one in
twelve. The cost of the installation
was So, 900, and the weekly working
expenses are SITS.

TO HARMONIZE ELKS.
Convention That VIII Eudeavor to
Make Pence in the Order.

March 17.-Delegates to at
tend the convention of Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, which convenes
in Chicago tomorrow, are arriving in large
numbers, and it is expected that by the
time the convention is called to order rep
resentatives of lodges in nearly every State
in the Uion will be present. The primary
object of the convention is to effect, if
possible, a reconciliation between the two
contending factions of the order, between
whom relations have been strained since
the disagreement in the Grand Lodge over
the selection of a time and place for the
meeting of the Grand Lodge, in 1894. Two
sets Of grand officers, it will be remem-
bered. were e~lected-one by the meeting at
Atlantic City. N. j., and another by James
town Grand Lodge. A suit in equity,
brought for the purpose of testing the
legality of the Atlantic City meeting is
still pending in the Supreme Court of New
York. Meanwhile the Atlantic City Grand
Lodge brought a suit in replevin for the
records, paraphe rnalia, etc, of the James
town Grand Lodge, which suit is now pend
ing in the United States Court at Cleveland
Each of the conIending grand lodges then
solicited the subordinate lodges throughout
the United States to acknowledge allegiance
to them. Many of the subordinate lodges
complied with the request of one or the
other of the grand lodges. When the re-
quest came before the Omaha lodge that
body decided not to recognize either grand
lodge, and to remain neutral This lodge
lately proposed TO the other lodges of the
country that a meeting be held in Chicago,
to effect, if possible, an honorable and salts
factory solution of the grand lodge difficulty.
What is hoped. to be accomplished. as stated
by Judge E. M. Bartlett, Of the Omaha
delegation, is to devise some method of
compromise agreeable to both grand lodges
and their adherents. The merits and de-
merits of the pending litigation will not be
discussed at this meeting. it being hoped SO
to shape matters that the suits may be
dismissed, and cordial relations between the
contending grand lodges and their partisans
be restored. Neither grand lodge can long
exist while members OF subordinate lodges
are in doubt as to which grand lodge has
authority to collect the per capita tax and
decline TO pay the same. And it is to pre-
vent, if possible, the ultimate diSintegration
that to-morrow's convention was called.
