The Irish Rain.

I must allow that it sometimes rains in Ireland, but Irish rain is not quite like other rain. It is, as rule. softer than rain elsewhere, and, if the truth must be told, like rain, so long as one has not to say, For the rain it raineth every day" Irish weather is not so much caprieious as eoquettish. It likes to plague you, if but to prepare you to enjoy the more it's sunny, melting mood.
 It will weep and vail all night, and, lol the next morning Ireland is one sweet smile and seems to say "Is it raining I was yesterday? An, then, I'll rain no more " And the runnels leap and laugh, and the pastures and very stone walls glisten the larks carol on their celestial journey; there is a pun gent, healthy smell of drying peat; the mountains are all dimpled with the joy of life and sunshine; the lake lies per fectly still, content to reflect the over hanging face of heaven, and just won t your honor buy the stoutest pair of homemade hose from barefooted, bare headed daughter of dethroned kings, with eyes like dewdrops and a voice that would charm the coin out of the most churlish purse? If on such morn ings as these you do not lose your heart to Ireland, it must be made of stern, un- impressionab1e stuff indeed. = Black woods Magazine.

Fully Armed.

A good story is told of a young re- cruit who enlisted in regiment sta toned at Aldershot. One day he was on guard duty, and was slowly stepping up and down when an officer approached. After the usual salute the officer said:
 ''Let me see your rifle.
 The raw recruit handed over his rife, and q pleased expression stole over his face As the officer received the weapon he said in a tone of deepest disgust
 "You re q fine soldier You 've given up your rife, and now what arc you going to do?'
 The young fellow turned pale, and putting his hand in his pocket drew out big knife, and, preparing for business, said ill voice that could not be mis- understood;
 "Gi' mo that rifle, or I'll bore a hole through you in minute.
 The officer instantly decided not to play any further with the raw recruit, and the rifle was promptly surrendered. -Pearson's s Weekly.

 Sea Otter Fur.

The sea otter fetehes, where the skin is perfect, almost any price the seller cares to ask, provided he can find a Russian, American or Chinese buyer. The sea otter is nearly twice the size of the common river otter, and the fur, without finishing or preparation of any kind, is more beautiful, as it is stripped from the animal, than the richest seal skin. which has to be scraped, plucked of the long upper hairs, and then dyed, before it could be recognized as the heau- tiful object which the finished" fur undoubtedly is. h the sea otter's fur. the soft undercoat-the true fur-is as thick as that of the seal, and nearly twice as long, while the long outer hairs are as soft as a sable's tail, and often pale gray, which gives to the whole coat an appearance as of dark fur slightly frosted over. The sea otter s range was formerly from the Aleutian islands to California, and it's destruc- tion will be deplored by naturalists no less than by furriers London Specta- 4T.=

Now, considering that there is no saltpeter in the whole island, how and whence they ever got their idea of its qualities is a mystery to me. "
 The process of preparing coffee berries for market was now briefly explained to me by this kind acquaintance. When gathered, red and round as cherries, the berries are subjected to the only ma chine used throughout the work. This Is not unlike nutmeg grater. or grat- CTS, which free the twin beans inside the berry from their fieshy covering, leaving them clean and blue. They are then sun dried, and on the best planta tions this is done by spreading them on barbeeues, or cement terraces, sloped so as to allow the rain to run off quickly, having gutters all around and one raised place in the middle. The beans are rak- ed constantly to expose all of them in turn to the sun, but should there be any signs of rain coming over the sky the whole crop is gathered with haste into 8 heap in the raised center, and a shelter house on wheels is drawn over the ber- ries while the bad weather lasts.

MoBS AND PISTOL ToTERS.

blSnOp OdllOWdys oho AotAo0o eAN greatest of all Southern Methodist Bishops, preached powerful ser mon at Jackson, Miss, last Sunday in which he inveighed against the evils of mob violence and pistol tot ing in a very able and effective man her. These evils have become so prominent recently that his remarks were especially timely, and few extracts from his sermon will no doubt prove interesting to our read CTS. Among other things the dis tinguished Bishop said:
 i've need to execrate and forever exile that silly sentiment that wounded honor is to be reyenged by the fatal trigger. To condone it is to eheapen human life and put pre- mium upon brute courage. 1t is a sad commentary on our civilization to see the average young man, in defiance of law, but sustained by a debauched public sentiment, prone nading the streets as walking ar senal, and going to and from his place of business a hip pocket defender of imaginary reputation. It humbles our national pride to be told that, with the exception of Italy and Spain, the proportion of murders to deaths in the United States is not exceeded on earth, where statistics are taken Out of every 10000 deaths in England seven are mur ders. Out of every 10,000 in the United States twenty one are mnr- ders. During the past four years there has been an aggregate of A, 557 known murders in this land of the free and the home of the brave.
 "But even more disgraceful to our boasted Christian civilization is the spirit of mob violence abroad in the land. When courts are disregarded and lynch law reigns the people may we'll put on sackcloth and ashes. There is no guarantee for life and property. The same defiant, mur derous spirit that demands the life of one man without the right of trial by jury, will wreak like yen- geance upon another if there be a supposed provocation. One such outrage will make each participant an outlaw and ever thereafter he will have a contempt for the tedious processes of the courts. Lynchers are always law despisers. There are no crimes or circumstances that justify resort to lyncn law. It's effects in deferring criminal classes from like deeds is lost in it's deadly influence upon the participants themselves. Without going further back than two years ago I can give you figures that will bring the blush of shame to every one proud of being an American citizen. In 1892 for the 6791 murders committed, 107 persons were tried by law and exc cuted, while 236 were lynched by mobs, 231 of them being men and five women; 129 more persons were lynched last year by mobs than were executed under the law. And full and shameful share of these were in our own great State of courts and churches, of homes and schools. In the name of God and humanity let us sustain the forms aud majesty of the law Pulpit and press, church and school must thunder an eternal protest until mobs are unknown, constitutional law sacredly en- throned and the infamous pistol for ever prohibited.

communication with London may be
maintained by means Of power gener-
ated at Niagara Falls. The success of
the scheme depends upon the amount of
power needed to run the model, which
should not exceed one-quarter horse
power Mr.. Nicola Tesla pronounces
the scheme perfectly feasible, and says
that starting with one horse power at
the falls end. they would certainly have
power enough to do all they would
wish. The Long Distance Telephone
company have arranged to have instru-
ments in the immediate vicinity of this
exhibit which will reproduce the voice
of the great waters, so that at the same
time one can see and hear Niagara

THE PERFECTED PHONOGRAPH.
Mr. Edison will also present the per-
fected photograph upon which he has
been working since he bought back the
rights in his own invention from the
New Jersey receiver of the American
Photograph company. The great diff
ficulty with the old monograph was
the scratching and rafting that ac-
companied the production of high
notes, whether of voice or of inStru-
ments. In the new photograph this
trouble has been entirely done away
with and even a shrill piccolo is re-
produced with smoothness and bril-
liancy.
NIAGARA'S POWER PLANT IN
MINIATURE.
In the centre of the main floor will
be a striking exhibit showing in
miniature all the machinery of the
Niagara Falls power plant. This re-
markable model is composed of wood,
glass and pasteboard and is about
fourteen feet square. It was built at
cost of $500 by Mr.. Allen, of Phila-
delphia, under the direction of DR..
Coleman Sellers. The model shows the
falls with real water running over
them, the intake canal the power
house on its bank, which will be light
ed at night by tiny incandescent lamps,
and the wheel pit down which the
water falls, turning a turbine at the
bottom, and then discharging through
a long tunnel into the river under
Suspension bridge.
The machinery by which the power is
conducted from the wheel back to the
surface and thence distributed, is also
shown. The shaft and tunnel are made
of glass so that the operation can be
clearly seen, and only distilled water
can be used as ordinary water will clog
the delicate turbine model. There will
also be near this exhibit model, Is #.
wide. OF the Erie canal, with canal
boats and power house on the banks.
This will show exactly how the energy
generated at the falls is applied by
means of trolleys to the electric mule"
which pulls the boats.

which opens in New York city on May
4. will be the first of it's kind since the
very successful electrical exhibition Of
1884, held in Philadelphia by the
Franklin institute. The pdrpose of this
exhibition of 1895 is to set forth the de-
velopment that has been made in cleo
trical applications during the last
twelve years, and the National Elec-
trio Light association, under whose
auspices the exhibition has been or
gained, announce that there will be
gathered together in the Industrial
building on Lexington avenue and pre-
sented there throughout the month of
May some most interesting and i'm
portant evidences Of the progress made
in this branch Of science.
EDISON'S FLUORSCOPE.
One of the most attractive features
Of the exposition viii be an exhibit of
Mr.. Edison's microscope, which has
been made a practical instrument by
the American inventor. although the
first experiments were conducted by
Salvioli. In it's ordinary form the flu
oroscope is a fiaring box about eight
inches long and tapering from a size
Of about seven inches square at one
end to two inches by four at the other.
Inside and out it is covered with black
cloth and has handle on one side for
the conVeniences of the eXperimenter.
At the small end through which the
observer looks are curved pieces Of
black felt that fit closely about the
forehead and eyes SO as TO exclude
every ray of light.
The large end of the box is closed by
a strip of collodion, the inner surface
of which is coated with crystals of
tunsgate of calcium. The object to be
viewed is placed between this end of
the microscope and a wooden box con-
tanning some form of vacuum tube,
usually the Croolzes variety. The
Roentgen rays emitted from this tube
