The x-ray is to be forced into commercial
servitude, as well as into the service Of
medical science. A Missouri genius has In
vented an x-ray apparatus with which he
is able to judge of the degree of refine
ment of eggs. Almost anybody can tell
good egg from a bad one-after it is brok-
en-. But up to this time It has required
good deal OF judgment and skill to desig-
nate between them before they were brok-
en-. The Missourian's apparatus will can
die dozen eggs at time, and infallibly
point out the ancient from the modern.
An Indiana church has opened nursery
in the basement Of the church building, for
the accommodation of mothers who desire
to attend the services but have no one
with whom to leave their babies. The same
church has also room for bicycles.

Leave. That Are Fifty Feet Long.

In our temperate climate none Of the
trees has leaves of size that will even
compare favorably with those of the sea
island and tropical countries in general
The maple, the oak and the elm leaves
are but infinitesimal bits of green when
compared with the gigantic sheets of
velvety verdure found ON some of the
trees, shrubs and plants Of South and
Central America.
The South American tree which has
the largest leaf is the Inaja palm, which
grows ON the banks of the Amazon. The
leaves of this giant are often 90 feet in
length, but they are very narrow, sell
dom exceeding to 10 feet. With the
Ceylonese cocoanut palm it is different.
In that species the leaves are from 20 to
90 feet in length and from 16 to IS in
width. The natives of Ceylon are said
to use these leaves in tentmaking, three
OF four being sufficient to make shelter
for a whole family. An extraordinary
specimen of Ceylonese palm leaf now in
the British museum, and which must be
freak-because the average length and
breadth of the leaves Of this variety Of
trees do not exceed the figures given
above-is SO feet in length and 80 in
width, even though it is admitted that
it must have shrunk one-fifth in dry
ing. st. Louis Republic.

Struck by . Dead Hand.

Said Henry Billings, retired rail
road engineer:
81 was running a night train ON the
Santa Fe road back in the seventies
This particular night had been stormy
and threatening, and the flashes Of
lightning were frequent and intense.
We were running ahead of our schedule
in order to make siding in time to al
low an extra to pass us, and were travel
ing. suppose, at the rate of about 80
or 80 miles an hour.
II was sitting with my face close to
the forward window of the cab, gazing
straight ahead, when in brilliant
blaze Of electricity a mans arm and
head suddenly burst with great force
through the glass and the open hand
struck me squarely in the face. / was
dazed for an instant by the blow, and
held blindly to the side Of the cab. My
first thought was that some tramp was
trying to hold up my train to rob the
passengers, and, acting on this idea, l
seized my wrench from its place and
dealt the head of the intruder a blow
with all my might.
1.-THE fireman. thinking had killed
the man, shut off steam and we slowed
down and took our lanterns to examine
the strange visitor. could not describe
the feeling that crept over me when
climbed upon the engine and looked at
the man whom believed had attacked
me. His entire body below the arms was
gone. 1t was easy to understand what
had happened. He had been struck by
the rapidly moving engine and his body
severed as with knife, the lower hall
falling to one side and the head ant
arms flying straight through the cal
window. Atlanta Journal.

The porte is the short name OF the
sublime porte, which is the official way
Of speaking of the Turkish government.
In the east judicial business is transact
ed at the city or palace gates One story
says that the sultan of Bagdad put in
the portal of his palace piece of sacred
black stone Of Mecca, thus making his
gate the porte. Another says that Sultan
Orkhan built a gorgeous gate to his
place in Broussa. Both Of these stories
are probably untrue so far as they pur-
port to explain the name as applied to
the Turkish government. Just as the
British court is called the court Of ST.
James and the late French court that
of the Tuileries, because their head
quarters were in the palaces Of st.
James and the Tuileries respectively, so
the Turkish court got the name sublime
porte because its headquarters were in
the palace of Bab-i-Humayun, or the
Lofty Gate, in Constantinople. The
name has been attached to the building
in that city which shelters the four prin-
cipal departments Of the government. =

One Of Eugene Fields Pr.nk..

When Eugene Field was city editor Of
the Kansas City Times. he found great
amusement in annoying one OF the char
acters employed ON the paper. Ferguson
was one of the 'make ups" on the pa
per. and in Wyandotte, where he resid-
ed. Just over the line from Kansas City,
he was the leader of local temperance
society. For over year Field, on COM
ing down to the paper to go to work,
would write a personal concerning Fer
psson. Generally it ran like this: "Mr.
John Ferguson, the well known make
mp Of The Times composing room, ap-
peared for work yesterday evening in
his usual beastly state of intoxication. I"
This entertaining bit Field would send
down in a bundle of copy. and the 9TH
ers of the composing room would set it
up and say nothing.
Poor Ferguson knew that this awful
personal was in their midst, and every
night would 60 carefully over every gal
ley for the purpose of locating and kill
ing it. It gave him vast trouble. Every
now and then Field would not write his
personal about Ferguson, and then the
bedeviled Ferguson was worse off than
ever. AS long as he could not find it it
might still be there. 1t almost drove the
poor man off the paper. Now and then
1t escaped his eagle eye and was print
ed. On such occasions Ferguson's bur.
dens were beyond the power Of even q
Christian spirit to bear.

Chancellor Robertson of New York.
The chancellor was listening patiently
at chambers to an argumentative con-

by counsel. At the close Of the con-
tentiun, he remarked:
"Let me have your papers and the
afiidavits of the expert, and / will see
what is feasible as to the fee, and will
endeavor to see my way to a just solu-
ton between the contention on the one
side that the fee is a phenomenal one
and on the other side that there should
not be a nominal fee.

A Woman's WIN.

Talk about woman's will Why, up
in Lansing resides a lady who has en-
joyed good health and yet has not been
outside the dooryard for IA years On
one occasion when she returned home
too late to get supper for her husband he
grumbled and said that he hoped the
next time she went out she would break
her leg. This led the woman to declare
she would never again go outside the
yard. Later when the husband died, Of
remorse probably, she followed the cas-
ket to the gate and refused to go farther
and from that time has never left the
premises. Kalamazoo Gazette.

There is mother ON the north side
who has family Of small children.
One day she became very much interest
ed in book. and it seemed as IL she
must read it, but the children bothered
her very much. Finally she thought of
. scheme whereby she could get rid Of
the children, SC she took broom and
put red cloth ON it and hung it in the
window. She then told the children
they must play she had the smallpox,
and that they must not dare come near
her. for they would catch It, They kept
away beautifully all the afternoon. and
she finished the book Some Of the
neighbors also saw the red flag and
asked the children what was the matter,
and they said smallpox, and the report
was current ON that side Of town in a
very short time. Not only the children,
but the neighbors, kept away until they
learned Of the scheme. indianapolis

When Napoleon III was approaching
sovereignty, he asked judicious friend
TO observe him carefully for week and
to point out to him anything that he did
which was not according to the severest
code Of the manner of well bred man.
At the end of the week there was only
one practice which his friend had no
ticed. The emperor, after eating boil
ed egg, invariably thrust his spoon
through it.
Whence this practice has arisen, at
one time not uncommon, it is difficult
to say. Some date it from a very early
period and assume that it was done
originally in order to prevent witches
sailing in the eggshells.

sun beat down on our unprotected
heads. When reached Washington
was insensible and was unconscious
for ten days while in the hospital. An
abscess gathered in my ear and broke;
it has been gathering and breaking ever

and sunstroke, was heart disease, ner-

before it felt as though it would burst
and my once shattered nervous system
is now nearly sound. Look at those

look as if there was any rheumatism
there?" He moved his fingers rapidly
