Accommodating Landlord.

A correspondent assures us that he
never knew that it was possible for all inn
keeper to be too accommodating to his
guests until he went down to Nova Scotia
recently and put up at q pleasant little no.
tel in the country. The landlord of this
hotel laid it down as one of his principles
OF action to give people a little more than
they asked for-to be extra accommodate
ing" as he termed it.
The landlord brilliantly illustrated his
adherence to this principle the very morn
Ing after u correspondents arrival at the
hotel. The guest had to go away on the z
O'Clock train that morning and asked the
proprietor to call him at 6. The guest
went to sleep in the calm assurance that
he should be aroused at the proper hour.
He seemed hardly to have fallen into a
sound sleep when he heard a terrific pound
Ing at his door. He sprang up wide awake.

"Four o'clock! Four o'clock!' came
the landlords voice from the other side of
the door. "Two hours more to sleep!'

New Teeth In Old Age,

The dentists, the anatomists and bone
sharps in general tell US that human be-
tngs have but two sets of teeth during life
the baby OR milk" teeth, which are
all present by the end of the third year,
and the second, or permanent, set, which
replace the above some time between the
fifth and twelfth years. Durand says,
"There is not q single exception to this
rule, no authority making mention of
more h two sets of teeth during the
lifetime of an individual" Professor f..
=. Brown, in his Structure of the Teeth"
eoncurs with Durand in this way, "There
are but two sets of teeth in the human
subject-the temporary and the perma-
nent.'
Notwithstanding the above assertions,
both of which come from reputable au
thors, we will suggest that there is evil
dence to the contrary. Professor A. D.
Flint says that "Mary Fursell of Acton,
England, cut an entire set Of new teeth at
the age Of so and Dean Hamilton is au-
thority for the statement that Rev. Sam
uel Croxall, the first English translator OF
Asop's fables, died of a fever occasioned
by cutting a new set of teeth at the age of
93."
In this country Mrs. Eliza Striker Of
Spottswood, N. j., died in 1888 from an
Illness caused by cutting her third set of
teeth and four years before, in 1884, Mrs.
Thedocia Gray Of Darien, Conn, who had
been toothless for 80 years, cut q whole
new set of even white teeth at the age of
S0.-St. Louis Republic.

Recognized by His Lung.

An eminent Scotch surgeon and profess
or in the University of Edinburgh wa on
tirely devoted to his profession. A quaint
incident in his practice will show this.
The poet Tennyson had at one time con-
suited him about some affection Of the
lungs. Years afterward he returned on
the same errand. On being announced
he was nettled to observe that Mr.. Syme
had neither any recollection Of his face,
nor, still more CALLING, acquaintance with
his name. Tennyson thereupon mention
ed the fact of his former visit. Still Syme
failed to remember him. But when the
professor put his ear to the poet s chest and
heard the peculiar sound which the old
ailment had made chronic he at once ex-
claimed: "Ah, l remember you now! I
know you by your lung" Can you i'm
agine a greater humiliation for a poet thar
to be known, not by his Tyre, but by his
lung?-Montreal Star.

1t Tickled amt

The Rev. George Madden, rector of Bal
Vbrood, an old bachelor, lived with a
maiden sister, an elderly lady, solemn and
stately, whom he held in great awe. She
was very fond Of flowers. When arranging
some one morning in the drawing room,
she found a curious blossom which she
had never seen before. Just as she had dis
covered it, her gardener passed the win
dow, which was open. "Come in, James,"
she called to him. II want to show you
one Of the most curious things you ever
saw" James accordingly came in.
Miss Madden sat down, not p%erceiving
that the bottom of the chair had been lift
ed out. Down she went through the
frame, nearly sitting OH the floor. James
went into fits Of laughter and said, "Well,
ma'aln, it is one of the most curious
things l ever seen in my life" "Stop,
James," said she. "Conduct yourself and
lift me OUT ooh, ma'am, I can't STOP"
said he. Sits SO curious; 1t bates all I
ever SEEM" 1t was some time before she
could make him understand THAT her per-
Torrance was not what he had been called
In to see, and when he had helped her up
he was dismissed with a strong rebuke for
his levity.-San Francisco Argonaut.

HOW WHALES LOVE-,
The Mother Whale Is Faithful to Her on
eDrine Even In Death.

spring Even In Death.
Captain Scoresby relates how one of his
h~arpooners, having struck u young whale
In order to secure the mother, saw her in
stantly arise, wrap her clippers round her
young n and descend, dragging about
600 feet Of line out of the boat with mar
Vicious force and velocity. Again she roso
to the surfaces dartcd furiously to and fro,
frequently stopped short or suddenly
changed her direction, giving every posi-
BILE information of agony.
The boats continued to pursue her close
ly for a length of time, while she, poor
creature, seemed utterly regardless of the
dangers which surrounded her. At last one
OF the boats approached SO near that a
halpoon was thrown at her, then a second
harpoon and a third. Still she did not at
tempt to escape, but allowed the other
boats to approach, SO that more h%arpoons
were attached, till, in the course of an
hour, the poor animal was killed.
The fidelity of the male and female
whale to each other exceeds that of most
animals. Anderson, in his "History Of
Greenland" mentions that, some fisher
men having struck II of two whales, q
male and a female that were in company
together, the wounded creature made a
long and terrible resistance.
With q single blow of it's tail it upset a
boat containing three men, by which they
all went to the bottom. When another
boat came up, the other whale still re-

sank under the number and severity Of its
wounds, while its faithful partner, unable
to survive it's loss, stretched herself upon

shared it's fate.-New York Dispatch.

BEHIND Ill TIMES.
Some Of tho Peculiarities Of Living In the
Austrian Capital. aa

&F
Vienna is in some respects behind the
date, or perhaps the rest Of the world only
has not advanced up to her standard. The
people live according to the fiat system, as
Is the custom in other European cities. At
the door of each f1athouse is a PORTER,
who is usually dressed in more or less gor-
geous Ivory. He guards the general inter
ests of tho house and protects it from mar
auders. The building is closed at 10.
o'clock at night and the lights extin-
guished. Every person who appears after
that hour must ring the bell, rouse the
PORTER, who lis usually on this occasion
not in his state dress, and pay him a fec
Of 10 ~kreutzers, something less than 5
cents. If the hour is very late. the fee
must be doubled.
There are also curious methods in use in
the sprinkling Of the streets. In some
cities this function is performed by one
man. In Vienna it requires two, the Sec
ond walking behind, pulling a long rope,
which swings a hose that wildly strews
the water over the Stones. The introduce
tion of a self operating sprinkler would
throw this second mar out Of employment,
an argument tho force of which is very
similar to that used against the railroad on
account of it's being opposed to the inter-
ests OF the horse, or which is heard in
Europe in regard to disarmament when it
Is said that this policy would throw a
great manyo of idle people on the world and
overstock the labor market, or the one
which is used to prove that women ought
not to be allowed to engage in employ
ments in competition with mon.
One Of the means by which the Aus
TRANS make it pleasant for visitors is tile
taxation of every newspaper coming int
the country from foreign parts. On each
paper the postoffice officials paste a 2
kreutzer stamp, worth a little less than 1
cent, the price of which is collected before
the delivery is made to the addresses.
This is considered to be no violation of the
international postal treaties, just as at
Berlin it is similarly considered to be no
violation of the same treaties to charge for
overweight, when the scales of all other
countries find there is no overweight.
This is one of the delights of living under
IN omnipotent state. An Austrian very
lucidly explains the virtue of tho newspa-
per tax in this way: "Thc Austrian papers
are all taxed l kreutzer per COPY. 1t is
necessary to tax foreign papers twice as
much to keep out competition from
abroad. Otherwise the Jews might print
all the Vienna papers in America, scnd
them over here and drive the homo prod
uct entirely out of tho market. st.

Development Of q Chick.

The development of q chick within the
egg is one of the most wonderful things
in nature. At the end Of the tifty-eighth
hour Of incubation tho heart begins to
beat, two vcsicles are seen and a few hours
later the auricles also appear. On the
fourth day, the outlines of the wings may
be perceived and sometimes of the head
also; on the fifth day the liver is visible;
on the sixth, other internal organs appear.
In 100 hours the beak is fully formed; in
500 hours the ribs are clearly developed:
In $40 hours the feathers are visible; in
1858 hours the eyes appear; in 2SS the ribs
are completed and the feathers on the
breast; in $50, the lungs, stomach and
breast have assumed a natural appearance.
On the eighteenth day the first faint pip
ing of the chick is sometimes audible.

THE MoToaMAN,s DIFFICULTY.
Too Many Levers to Handle to Stop q Car
as Quickly as He Might.

as Quickly as He Might.
We believe that it has been very fairly
demonstrated that a four wheeled car can
be brought to a standstill by the hand
brake within a space so short that neither
the airbrake nor the electric brake could
do much better, and that the difference in
favor of the two latter is more than coun-
terbalanced by certain disadvantages in
herent in them. A cable car is by no
means as heavy as a motor Car, nor is
there a cable line anywhere in the country
running at as great a speed rs electric cars
are habitually driven. We think also that
there IS no question at all but that an cleo
trio car, Notwithstanding it's greater weight,
can be stopped more quickly than can u
cable car and that all it requires with it's
present braking facilities is that those ia
cilities should be applied i%ntclligently.
A cable car canno back out nor rely
upon anything to stop its course but the
adhesion of the wheels ON the track. With
the electric car, as with the steam locomo-
tive, the wheels may be reversed as soon
as the speed is reduced so that this may be
done without skidding. The storage bat
terry car is more difficult to stop than tho
trolley, If both arc at the same speed, sim
ply because the storage battery Cur weighs

cable car.
The greatest trouble, in our opinion,
with the braking facilities of our electric
cars is that the motorman has too much
to do already. He has the controlling levcr
in one hand, the brake lever in the other,
a reversing switch, which we suppose no
Is expected to control with his teeth, while
he blows a whistle with his mouth; a bell
push to occupy one of his feet and the
pawl on the brake ratchet which his other
foot is intended to control and a sand
valve that must be operated somehow.
There is a canopy switch also, which, if he
be very tall and sprightly, he might work
with the top of his head. Now, %supposing
we add an emergency brake or two, as The
American Machinist would have us do,
that would have to be controlled in the
same way that tho one armed fifer held
his fife while passing his hat for aims, and
this, we think, would not be an effective
method Of control.-Electricity.

TRUSTING 70 HONOR.
How Admiral Porter Instituted a Lastin
Reform In the Naval Academy.

How Admiral Porter Instituted q Lasting
Reform In the Naval Academy.
The Naval academy, at Annapolis, is one
Of the places in this ever changing coun-
try where innovations are not regarded
with favor. Yet every once in awhile
some radical change occurs and brings
about q realization of the fact that some
times the new is better than the old.
Such a change was made when Admiral
Porter succeeded Commodore g.. S. b.
Blake as superintendent of the academy.
The latter was a rigid old martinez who
acted on the theory of the total %depravity
of youth. Nothing was left to the honor
of the cadets. They were surrounded by
q network of spies and were trusted no
further than they could be seen. They
were not even allowed to leave the yard
without reporting to the marines on guard,
and many a young spirit chafed angrily at
having a subordinate set in authority over
him.
TIL result of this system of discipline
was a constant increase in the number of
departures without permission. French
Ing it, the cadets called such an escapade,
and every rule that could be broken with
impunity was so broken.
When Admiral Porter took the holm,
oA1uSo oOoh Ou u UlllefCuU appearance. lie
sent at once for the leaders of the various
GLASSES and set before them the rules by
which he meant to govern.
"Gentlelnen," he said, thereafter thcft;
will be no spies set to watch you. You
will be allowed to go where you will and
how you will-within certain rational lin
its, of course-and you will be responsible
to no subordinate, but shall be held for

There is no need to say that the dissen-
tient voice was never heard. From that
day Frenching GREW less'' frequent, and

tally cruel, took on the form of jesting
and teasing, rather than that of personal
