A Study In Touching the Button.

To recognize PERSONS voice over a
telephone is not regarded as at all
strange, and there are times when one
can identify a voice conveyed even
from long distance positively as to
be able to swear to the Identification in
a court of law and have the testimony
accepted. But to be able to recognize a
PERSONS ring" is quite another thing
An elevator boy in one of the Office
buildings declares that he can almost
invariably tell by the manner in which
a person rings the electric bell connect
ed with the elevator by touching the
button whether that person is man or a
woman. He can also tell in the same
manner many times just who the person
is if one who frequently rides with him.
The practiced ear Of the telephone girl
will also tell her at times who it is that
rings up Central. Buffalo Courier.

OF Coursa Thera Will.

Now comes the word of another dis
oovery, which if true will excel in in
terest and Importance the celebrated dis
covery Of Roentgen, the X rays. 1t is
said that photographer named Rogers
set up postage stamp and fixed his
gaze upon it for a moment Then q
Photographic plate was put where the
stamp had been. For several minutes
the photographer fixed his gaze intently
upon this plate and held his mind in
tently upon the image of the stamp at
the same time. When the plate was de-
veloped, two impressions, one for each
eye, were found upon it, each distinctly
resemb bling postage stamp. And this
idea can thus be carried out ad infini-
tum, it is claimed. A poet can dispense
with the pen by affixing upon the sensi-
tive plates the beautiful images that
arise in his brain. Criminals may thus
be forced to yield up the secrets of their
past lives. The lover can give proof of
his faithfulness, and so Oh into the in
exhaustible field of the marvellous. OF
course there will be skeptics Oh all this
for awhile. Times Star.

A Man without a Past,

When Adam had shaken himself and
looked around him ON the day of crea-
ton, he INDUCED in something like the
following soliloquy:
"Well, it doesn't look as if I were
going to have much company to keep
me from being lonesome, but there is
one thing can congratulate myself up
on, and that is I'm a man without a
past.
II have no foolish actions to grieye
over. no notes coming due, no bad char
acter to live down, no breach of prom
Use suit ON my hands, no loss Of lent
money to kick myself about, no creditor
to make me hide in the woods, no dun
to put off till next Monday week, no
apology to make for calling on a girl
when was three sheets in the wind,
no lies TO manufacture to appease an
angry wife, and great many other
things l haven't got to do and, last and
best of all, I'm in no danger of being
run down and killed by bicycle ridden
by woman in boomers. On the whole,
I don't see but that man without a
past is pretty we'll off. boston Cou-

Hnrter's Innovation.

Mr.. Harter was the author Of an in
novation in Office seeking which created
a sensation when it was first disclosed.
After President Cleveland was elected
he made out list of every federal office
in his district and wrote opposite each
the name of the man he considered most
competent to fill it. He had wide &C.
quaintance himself, having lived there
from boyhood, but when he was in doubt
consulted persons in the different locali-
ties in whose Judgment he had conf
dence. Then, without saying anything
to any one, he filed copy of this list
with President Cleveland and said:
THESE are my nominations for all the
offices in my district. If you desire to
appoint them, / shall be very much
pleased. If you desire to know my rea-
sons for selecting any particular man for
any particular place, shall be glad to
give them. If you think proper to ap-
point others, shall not be offended. I
submit these names as matter of duty
and shall not approach you on the SUBJ
ject again unless l am sent for"
At the same time the list was pub
lished in the local papers with an an
nouncement that it would be useless for
any one to attempt to persuade Mr.. Har-
ter to recommend any persons but those
named. Record.

HYDROGEN Peroxide.

The bleaching agent of the future,
says writer in one of the textile jour-
mails, is hydrogen peroxide, and it is
even now considerably used in wool
bleaching. The yarn is stepped in a So
luton of hydrogen peroxide to which a
little ammonia has been added, thereby
causing the decomposition of the perox-
ide into water and oxygen. The latter,
being in its nascent state, readily at
tacks the coloring of the wool and forms
a colorless oxidation product. This is a
permanent white, and should tinting be
necessary it can be done after the bleach
ing. The bleached yarn is sometimes
washed in aciditied water. From time
to time various additions have been rec
commended for the peroxide bath, but
with very little or no advantage. The
bleaching solution is to be kept alkaline
indeed the more alkaline the liquor
the quicker is the oxygen liberated ;
hence too much ammonia is almost as
bad as too little.

His Blooming Mistake.

A countryman of Goethe gives another
instance of the difficulty foreigner has
with the English language. He was in
vited out to dinner soon after his ar
rival in England and was DESTROYS of
saying something in a very pleasant
way and made use of the following ex-
preston: Twill you have the blooming
kindness to-" etc. He used it in the
sense that the word blooming" is used
in German, as being something very
charming and beautiful, little knowing
what havoc slang has played with the
word in England. He was absolutely at
loss to understand why everybody was
so utterly Mortified at what he thought
was an extremely nice expression.

Egyptian Art.

The Egyptians were conversant with
the art of landscape gardening, though
they had to contend with the fairness OF
the land. Water, however, as an adjunct
was often called into play, for there was
the inexhaustible Nile We have three
plans of their gardens, as the one found
in the tomb of Meryieat Tell ell Amazon,
which gives us the perfect idea of how
a grand garden was laid out. We have,
too, pictures of Egyptians reclining on
chairs and fishing in these artificial
lakes. At Karnak there was one such
lake, but whether it was used for the
convenience of the priests or served
for certain religious purposes we do not
know. There is good chance that
whatever may be the secrets of this Kar-
max lake will shortly be disclosed. Mr..
de Morgan, the most interchangeable and
at the same time the most practical of
Psychologists, proposes pumping out the
sacred lake Of Karac, and at the latest
date was at Assuan making his prepare
tions.

new gown she gets yard too little at

enough left over for new waist. To

no use for an extra frock. But that is
not quite up to her economy in eating
We asked people to tea the other night,
and two of them failed to come. So to
save the ice cream and fixings they
ought to have eaten, Mrs. Slawson ate
them herself, after 1 had refused the
job. The result was five days in bed,
with $50 spent for doctor and nurse

Seventy-two races inhabit the world

putation, only person in 100000 of
both sexes attains the age of 100 years
and to i'll 100 the age of 60.

prohibition law. An important question
was raised as to whether or not barrel
of whisky was delivered to the defend
ant.
"An Irishman of the name of O'Con-
nor was the drayman, and when Judge
Hendershott started to cross examine
him he concluded to brighten him into
contradicting his testimony ON the ex-
animation in chief. Assuming a dra-
matte pose and with stern voice, he
said: Remember, sir, You are on your
oath. Remember you have sworn to tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Remember that to devil
ate one iota from the truth is perjury,
and the punishment for perjury is i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary of
Iowa. Now, sir, upon your oath, did
you deliver that barrel of whisky to Pat
Duffy
