Steam Power and Flea Power.

At the great works of Herr Krupp in
Essen is to be seen a hammer weigh
ing 80 tons, and this in turn is placed
on an anvil block weighing 100 tons.
A Swiss, calling himself Prof. Schu-
mann, who has devoted much of his
life to training heas a. Berne, in
Switzerland, recently visited Essen and
looked upon the mighty hammer. On
his return to Berne he began model
of the great hammer, but on such a
tiny scale that it could be worked by
flea power instead of the mighty en-
CINE which operates the one in Essen.
In its completed state this marvellous
miniature steam hammer, pulley, an
vii, block and all, weighs but half
grain. The hammer and anvil are of
solid gold, the puileys German silver
and the framework of platinum. A
flea trained by Mr.. Schumann will, at
the word of command, hoist the ham
mer to the top of the frame. There il
is automatically set free, descending
in precisely the same manner as the
monster after which it is modelled

WHEREFOR ART THOU, REEDq
What Has Become of the Great and Fear
less Gar?

What Has Become of the Great and Fear
less Gar?
Where is the courage and dash that
once made the Hon. Thomas Reed a
heroic figure in the republican partyG
When was Reed ever at a loss for words,
OR indeed, for ideas, until ambition for
the presidency CONCEALED his brain and
spiked his tongue? Now he has moth
ing to say. The New York Journal
asks him for an opinion on the bond
question, and he replied that he doesn't
want to discuss it. He adds:
II would not care to make any suggestion
as to what might be done to make the loan
popular loan or bring it before the peo-
pie in any different form. The matter is
being managed from the white house, and
I've no suggestions to make will say,
however, that present difficulties so far as
solution of our financial troubles are con-
Cerned lodge in the white house and SEN
ate. If the people of this country want
remedy for the financial evils let them
bring the pressure of popular influence to
bear on the executive and the senate of the
United States. The house of representa-
tives stands ready to do Its part, and has
from the opening Of congress. The cure
for money ills should be applied at the
white house and the other end of the capi-
tol. THOMAS b. REED.
Is this like the fearless car known
to fame for his quorum counting abil-
tiles in the billion dollar congress? Is
this like the Reed that was in congress
only tc do business?' Is this like the
bold Reed who could ever BE- relied upon
to say something to win the applause
of the most hide-bound of his partisan
associates? Alas, no. It is Reed the
presidential candidate, who is trem-
hl1ngly hopeful of support in the sparse
II settled silver states, and at the same
time catch the delegates from the
states whose votes are essential in the
electoral college.
But this isn't the Reed that won the
republican heart at all. It was the reck-
less, quorum-counting, billion-dollar-
spending Reed that the republicans adj
H1ired and proposed to make president.
It was not the ti1nid, fearful, non-com-
initial Reed who now pres;des over the
:!o-nothing house of representatives,
and who refers inquirers on public
questions to the other end of the cap
itol or the white house.

WE DEvOUR MANY LEMONS.
California Is Briskly Competing with the
Foreign Importation.


Foreign Importation.
This country consumes in a year
about soc, 600, 900 lemons, or about 6A
lemons for each man, woman and child.
This is going to be good lemon year.
Since the new fruit commenced to ar
rive about the 1st of October very near
ly 100000 more boxes have been re-
ceived than came in during the same
time last season. The receipts at New
York for November, 1895, were III, 306
boxes, against ITO, $50 boxes for Novem-
Der, 1894 The November receipts at
New Orleans were 1880 boxes, against
none received at that port for Novem-
Der, 1894. Last year, between Deem.
Der and Christmas time, $4,000 boxes
were landed here and Immediately sold.
Before Christmas probably not more
than $4,000 boxes are due here, for the
reason that two vessels containing all
together from $4,000 to 10000 boxes
have been wrecked off Gibraltar.
The crops are very plentiful along
the Mediterranean. but because 30
many oranges are being carried from
that region these months owing to the
deficiency in the Florida crop there is
little room for lemons on board these
ships. The California lemon crop also
is larger than ever before, and sup
plies will be forwarded from there. The
California lemons are exceedingly good
ones, and only experts can tell them
from the Mediterranean crop.
For culinary purposes the lemons
from Sicily-that is, those from Mes
sina and Palermo--are to be preferred,
as they have much better flavor
Other excellent lemons come from Mai
orr and Rodi, in the hill regions sur
rounding Naples. Catania and Malaga
lemons are yet another variety, and
come in the early fall, just after the
southern Italy and Sicilian crops have
been finished up.
A box of lemons averages about 300
each. From 1,5OO,o0 to 1000, 900 boxes
are sold in year mere. 1t is predicted
that the California crop in three years
will average 100000 boxes. 1t will
be interesting to note whether they
will drive out any or all of the foreign
lemons. Prices are now little lower
than usual. In September seven dol
lars was obtained at wholesale per box,
the highest price in years.-N. Y.

81 cannot sleep in that room," said 4
guest at hotel in this city the other
evening, as he walked to the desk in the
office and threw the key upon it.
What is the matter with it?' asked
the clerk.
There il nothing the matter with 1t,
except that the bed is in the wrong
place." the guest replied. For more
than 20 years have slept in bed with
the head toward the north. and it has
become such habit with me that it
would be actually impossible for me to
sleep with the head in any other direc-
ton
1t will be impossible for me to give
YOU a room containing Il bed with the
head in any other direction" said the
clerk. 1.-THE hotel is we'll filled tonight,
and 1 have only two vacant rooms. but
L will have the bed turned for you."
Calling porter the clerk instructed
him to turn the bed in the gentleman's
room so that the head would be to the
north. The guest followed the porter
upstairs, and as nothing further was
heard from him, it is presumed that he
retired and slept peacefully.
There is no accounting for tastes
said the clerk, turning to the reporter,
land the funny experiences we have in
the hotel business would fill a volume.
Before the night is over we may have
calls for beds with their heads turned
to every point of the compass, and, of
course, we are obliged to accommodate
every one"
II remember an instance like this sew
eral years ago. \ man slightly inebri-
ated came into the hotel one night. and,
producing pocket compass, said that
he wished room where the head of the
bed should be placed to the northeast.
We sent two boys with him, and they
turned the bed as requested. The joke
was that the compass was furnished
with Il little stop, which held the indi-
Gator in certain position. 1t so hap
pened that the gentleman's bed, which
had been carefully placed northeast &C
corCling to the compass. was in reality
placed with the head to the south. The
man discovered his mistake next MORN
