A New Color Preservative.

One of the drawbacks and annoyances
experienced by the curators of patholog.
ical museums has been the impossible.
ty of securing a fluid which would pre-.
serve the original color OF the specimens
to be put on exhibition. Especially have
the lungs and the brain been hopelessly
faded or discolored blythe fluids at pres.
ent in use. A new process Just intro.
duced is said to be most encouraging az
far as it has been used. It is composed
OF formalin. distilled water, nitrate OF
potash and acetate Of potash. The speci.
mems to be preserved are arranged al
nearly as possible in their natural form.
and the vessel should be large, in order
to hold a quantity of the preservative
solution. The specimens should remain
Immersed for at least "a hours, but a
longer period will do no harm They
are then transferred to an 80 per cent
alcohol BATH where they are kept for
IL hours, then in a % per cent alcohol
bath for two hours. They are now ready
for their final disposition, which is inn
mersion in equal parts of water and
glycerin with 80 parts Of acetate of po-
fash. The inventor of this method has
succeeded in retaining the natural color
OF the blood and the transparency Of all
of the organs, especially the brain. Tu-
bercular disease and affections Of the

One on the Manager.
The manager of a we'll known brew
cry, remarkable for his severity and
love Of showing his authority to the M
ployees of the firm, noticed one day
while going his usual rounds in the
brewery yard a big fellow lounging
about on one Of the railway sidings.
Approaching him, he inquired what
ne was earning a week, and OIL being
told 20 shillings the manager gave him
u sovereign, at the same time telling
him to clear out, As they could not af-
ford to pay for idleness.
Next day he saw the fellow again in
the same place. Very angrily he said to
him:
II thought I dismissed you yester.
day." ~.
The managers chagrin and surprise
may be imagined when the fellow told
him that he was employed by the rail-
way company. Exchange.

A RUN ON THE BANK.

1t Was q Close Race, but True Genius
Was a Winner.
It lacked one solitary moment of 10
O'Clock a. III.
The streets before the national bank
we're alive with people, all intent upon
business.
Suddenly there was a great eommo-
ton.
Amid a great roar and expressions of
wonder and alarm two figures were seen
going at a b%reakneck pace. down the
avenue in the direction of the bank.
One of these wa a young man with
the fire of genius in his eye and still
more OF the same in his legs. The other
was a pompous, putting old gentleman,
with a pallid countenance which be-
spoke a terrible mental strain.
Somebody, seeing the hatless, coat
less figures flying by. yelled: ''Fire!
Murderi Policel''
But the bluecoats were nowhere, and
the two sprinters rushed on as if chased
by 10000 demons on wheels.
Suddenly they reached the marble
steps Of the bank, .collided and rolled
into the gutter, knocking down several
passersby on their way.
Still undaunted, bruised and grimy.
they arose simultaneously and made an
other break for the bank entrance, each
hourishing a piece Of paper in his hand.
Great rumors spread abroad. Ten
thousand people gathered, and a run on
the bank was momentarily threatened.
The bank president, very pale, came
forth and addressed the multitude,
Friends and fellow citizens, : , said he,
there is no cause for alarm. The Hon.
Josiah Peterkins had a daughter mar

"Nit!'' shrieked the bridegroom,
emerging from the bank with his coat

greenbacks. "The account lacked $40.

And most everywhere, / guess,
And she thrusts her dainty fingers
In a way that makes me start
In the little inside pocket
That lies just above her heart,

Often fills me with despair,
Till my heart grows weary, longing

The Ambition of a

Boy

Two Months While
Fishing on the
Bay

One OF the latest additions to the italian
colony OF this City is Francis Majano,
l9-year-old boy, who appears to have the
making OF good citizen in him. From
his conversation he has most estimabe
character and his aims are of the ighest.
He says that he comes OF one of the most
noble families of Italy which lost its posi-
don through devotion to freedom.
AT present Francis is working for fish,
erman, and spends large portion OF his
time on the wharf drying nets and doing
other work OF similar nature. But all
the while he is thinking of a way
to improve his mind, and all of
his spare time is given to study.
That the boy is smart is fact beyond
question, because he has been in this
country but ten weeks and has already
mastered the English language. He can
speak on any subject with good accent,
although when he left his native land he
did not know a word.
Francis says that he has been ambitious

Ancient Volumes
in a Dismal
Cellar
Thousands Of Moth.
Eaten and Dust
Covered Old
Jones

On Fourth street, near Stevenson, there
is second hand bookstore that has been
there for years and years. The interior of
the store, that can be entered from the
street, is little different from other stores
of the same kind; but there is a portion
of it that few people see that is most likely
the only place of the kind in the City If
not in the whole State.
Persons who buy only ordinary books
run no chance of seeing the queer place.
But ask for some book that was published
many years ago and the proprietor will
most likely say that he has it.
He will then take you out at e back door
into yard, where he will lead the way
down flight of steps with damp, moss
covered brick walls on both sides. Open
ing heavy door and lighting candle he
will ask you inside, saying that you will
most likely find what you want there.
And what queer place you find your
self in. The cellar, for such it proved to
be, is in inky darkness except for the faint
light shed by the candle. But on all sides
can be seen piles of old books. There are
thousands of them. Enough to fill any of
the large libraries in town. They spread
out in all directions and form avenues
that appear to have no end. Wandering
through them is like a labyrinth. One
looses all bearings and could easily get lost
as far as knowing which way to turn is
concerned. A person in the place without
light might crawl around for hours with
out finding the door to get out.
The cellar extends under several build
ings and the books it contains have been
accommodating over quarter of a century.
All are thickly covered with dust and
that peculiar "bock" smell fills the air.
Although the street is only few feet
away a dead silence reigns. The owner
says that months frequently pass without
anybody entering the place.
The old cellar is itself intensely inter-
esting, but many of the books are much
more so. There are parts of stories on the
fyIeaves of many of them in the inscrip-
tions there. Here IS an old Goodwin
arithmetic published in 1872 On the title
page is the inscription Thomas Dickens,
Oxford, 1896" Where is Thomas Dickens

Ernest Miller, who has already earned
the reputation of being the champion egg
eater in the world by his feat, performed
last week. OF making a meal of six dozen
and half of hen fruit. is modest withal,
and does not desire to pose before the
public either as a freak or as glutton.
He is particularly undesirous OF being
looked upon as gourmand.
Miller is slightly above the ordinary
height, not stout, but strong and wiry,
and has record for other unusual per-
formances than those of eating. He is in
the employ of the firm of Uri q Co. in the
Clay-street market, and is an expert in
the art OF dissecting beef or calf. He
can also carry greater weight OF beef
and handle more of this food-stuff in
given time than any man employed in the
local beefsteak factories.
He first began to show his unusual pow
ers about a year ago. In July of 1895
friend called his ability into question by
offering to wager that Miller could not
make meal of two dozen eggs. If Miller
succeeded in slowing away that quantity
in his main digestive organ the friend was
to pay for them and whatever Miller ate
at the same time. If Miller, however,
failed he was TO stand the expense. Miller
won with ease, and this is what his doubt
ing friend had to pay for: A big plate of
soup, huge dish of macaroni, a gen.
erous helping of stuffed veal, a three
pound tenderloin steak. twenty mine eggs,
two cups of coffee and loaf of French
bread, garnished with Swiss cheese.
