Not to BE Resisted.

Some years ago, at session of the
legislature of Kentucky, an effort to re-
peal the law offering bounty on foxes
scalps was made, but was defeated by
the appeal of a member from a noun
famous and sparsely settled region.
do the gentlemen want to deprive
my constituents and me of the benefits
of hearing the gospel preached?" he de-
manded, with Indignation in his tone
and overspredding his rugged counte-
nance. 'We are all Methodists up my
way, and our preachers went come
without we can give 'em chickens. I
know. We can't raise chickens unless
the foxes are killed by somebody, that s
sure, and there amt anybody that can
afford to spend their time hunting foxes
and get nothing to pay for it.
$50, gentlemen, if you repeal this
law, you'll be depriving my constituents
of the benefit of hearing the gospel
preached. That's the way it looks to
mep'
This reasoning was too much for the
legislature, and for the time being the
law was not repealed Youth Com

Corrosion of Metals by Water.

The peculiar statement is made by
M. Bauchier in LIE Revue Maritime ct
Coloniale that corrosion of metals by
water may be caused by the action of
micro organisms present in particular
harbors, but absent in the ocean. 1t ap-
pears that the fact, as ascertained, Of
pure aluminium plates immersed in
Norfolk Roads being badly corroded at
the end of three months, while in
France commercial aluminium subject
ed to the same test was practically un-
touched, and two plates attached to the
bottom of a ship were uninjured after a
voyage around the world, led him to in
vestigate the sea water from different
places, with the following results, as
stated: If introduced into boilers, the
Mediterranean water, which contains
more salt than the Atlantic water,
causes more damage; so does the water
taken from estuaries and near the shore,
which contains larger proportion Of
nitrates from fermenting organic mat
ter. The destructive power of the shore
water is much reduced, however, if it
be sterilized by means of boiling.

FOOLED THE MANAGER.
How j. w. Kelly, 1.-The Rolling Mill Man,
Made the Hit of His Life.

How j. w. Kelly. .'the Rolling Mill Man,"
Made the Hit of His Life.
A theatrical mapagcr tells this story
regarding the late J. W. Kelly:
In his earlier days Kelly was appear
ing at q variety hall in San Francisco.
The proprietor and manager of the place
was a German, who had great admi-
ration for the "rolling mill man."
While Kelly was appearing at the thea
ter the German arranged to put OH the
stage u series of tableaux depicting the
heroism of the members of the San
Francisco fire department. Kelly was
to stand at one side of the stage and re-
cite some original verses describing
each picture or tableau as it was shown
anxious that this tribute to the firemen
should make hit OIL the opening night.
"Oh, Chon," he said, "do your pest,
and you will make te hit of your lifep'
On the day of the opening Kelly re-
manned at home, so as to be in the best
possible trim for the show. Soon after
8 o'clock he started for the theater.
Just before going into the hall it oc-
Cured to him that he could have some
fun with the German; so he turned up
his coat collar, mussed his hair and
went reeling into the variety hall.
There was a sound of crashing glass
ware. The German had dropped tray
full of beer glasses
ooh, Chon," he moancd, waving his
hands i'll the air, "you haf wooined all
te taploze! Vat is tie good of hating
Irishman to work for you?''
''Thash all right" mumbled Kelly,
staggering up to him.
"Go way" shouted the manager
"You hef kveered te show"
With that the manager rushed for the
stage and arranged that a soubrette
should announce the tableaux. Then he
went out in front and waited, all in a
tremble, to see if she could get through
with it. In the meantime Kelly went
around Oh the stage, and just as the SOU
brette walked OH the stage Kelly fol-
lowed her and said, "I'll take care of
this. -
The German saw him come OH the
stage, and with a cry of mortal terror
ran for the front door. He knew that
Kelly would spoil everything. He stood
in the street. mopping his brow and
moaning in agony, when he began to
hear loud applause inside the theater.
He could hardly believe his senses.
Every few seconds there would be a
roar of laughter and handclapping. He
timidly went back into the hall, and
there was Kelly, sober as a judge and
"straight as string" making the hit
of his life. After that all the German
could do was to sit down at table to
weep and order beer for everybody
around.
In telling the story Kelly used to say
merely to finish the story, 81 saw him
after that when l really did have tidy
number aboard, but he only laughed and
said, No, Chon, you can't fool me. :"

THE COMMON BLACK COAT

1t Is Feared That 1t May Ise Superseded
by One of Lighter Color.
1t would appear from one of their
trade organs that tailors are becoming Il
little anxious about the prospects of the
black coat of civilization. They fear it
is i'll danger of being superseded Ly u
garment of lighter hue, if no, Of varie
gated pattern. Perhaps, if l.ty were to
give voice to their deeper aril ht nsions,
they would say that there was more at
stake than the black coat. There can, at
any rate, be little doubt, whether the
tailors are willing to admit it or not,
that with the fate of the black coat is
bound up that of the black waistcoat
Whether the two have been lovely and
pleasant i'll their lives is matter of
opinion, but we feel sure that in death
they would not be divided.
We mean no disrespect to the vest in
describing it as a parasite of the coat
1t is humble dependant which has
only found its way into society under
the wing of its influential patron, to
whom it adheres with single breasted
fidelity, rewarded on the other side by
All attachment which is rarely broken
save for short period during the sum-
mer months
The trousers, it is true, are connected
with the two upper garments by no such
feudal tie, but their own union is COM
plete and, except in very hot weather,
indissoluble. Hence, the more farsight-
ed tailors no doubt perceive clearly
enough that if the black coat goes we
shall be within measurable distance of
the "tweed suit" Nor are there want
ing those who would do their best to
accelerate the catastrophe.
Animated by the restless spirit of the
age, its impatience of sobriety and its
thirst for change and color i'll costume,
as in life, there is a school of so called
reformers who are endeavoring to urge
the wearers of black coats to revolt. Let
them give free play, exclaim these an
archistic counselors, to their taste in
checks and stripes" and they will be
able to cut far more picturesque figure
at far smaller annual outlay. With the
outlay, of course, the public is not con-
cerned, though that matter, doubtless,
is not without its interest for the tailors,
but we own to some uneasiness at the
idea of the entire community indulging
its mu1tifarious taste in checks and
stripes i'll headlong pursuit of the pic
turesquc.
We have all Of Us, indeed, seen the
experiment tried under very favorable
circumstances. but with more than du-
bious results by those little bands of
vocal and instrumental artists, gener-
ally six or eight in number, who are
usually to be net with at race meetings
or Oh the sands at popular seaside re-
sorts. These pioneers Of dress reform
have entirely discarded the black coat,
preferring one of gayer color, with no.
ticeably elongated tails, and the free
dom with which they indulge their taste
in checks and stripes may almost be said
to border upon license. Yet the effect,
even with the addition of an open shirt
collar of Elizbcthan proportions, a cork
ed face and banjo cannot he described
as entirely picturesque. London Tele-

Hard to Catch the Expression.

A young woman of st. Joseph, Mo-,
was walking down the principal street
few days ago, when, seeing young
man in the passing throng, she went up
to him, threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him. Then she disengaged
herself and ran, blushing, away, while
the young man looked at her in pleased
amazement She afterward explained
that the young man was an utter stran-
ger, but "when my eyes met his, and he
looked so good, so noble and SO true, I
wanted to kiss him, and 1 did" 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that every
young man in st. Joseph is anxiously
studying how to look good and noble
and true when he goes down the street
on the dry goods store side.-Buffalo

TIDE WAVE FORTY FEET HIGH.
Awful Bore That Sweeps Everything BE
fore 1t on q Chinese River.

Awful Bore That Sweeps Everything Be-
fore 1t on a Chinese River.
Twice a year-at each equinoX-the
famous tides of the Tsien Tang river,
that flows from the borders of Kiangsi,
Fuhkien and Chekiang to Hangchow
bay, attain their greatest height, and
bore Of sometimes over 40 feet in height
sweeps irresistibly up it's shallow and
funnel shaped estuary, often producing
tremendous havoc to the surrounding
country; hence its name, "money dike,"
from the amount expended in successive
centuries on it's entertainments.
1t is seen at its best at Hangchow,
the prefectural city not far from its
mouth. Twelve or ii minutes before it
is visible a dull, distant roar is heard,
momentarily swelling, until the wall
Of muddy water, tall as the bulwark Of
the biggest liner, as overwhelming as
glacier, sweeps into sight round the
bend a mile away.
Not boat is to be seen on the lately
crowded river. All are hauled up on to
the huge embankment and moored fore
and aft with dozen rattan cables, for
none but ocean going steamers could
stem the current, and even they would
need skillful navigation.
AS the eagre nears the roar becomes
deafening storm at sea, drowning
the excite,. shouts of the thousands who
line the walls, until finally it foams
past in turbid majesty, hurrying toward
the heart of China.
The Chinese annals tell how, 1000
years ago, Prince WI Shu made 500
daring archers shoot half dozen
arrows each at the advancing flood, and
then, after praying to WI Tsz-si (the
tutelary deity of the stream, and origi
nally an upright minister, whose body
was cast into the river after WI had
committed suicide), put the key of the
dixie water gate into an envelope and
threw it into the stream, whereupon the
waters retired.
But as by that time they would have
flowed back in any case, even the Chi
nese did not regard the experiment as
very miraculous.
A couple of hundred years later the
emperor, Kan Tsung, had ten iron plates,
each weighing about $50 pounds, sunk
in the river by way of propitiating the
spirits, but the water promptly carried
away both charms and embankments.
Only last century a Hang Chow tea
merchant leaped into the river, like an
other Marcus Curtius, to avert the an
nual disaster.-Black and White.

A SLIGHT INTERRUPTION.
Incident of IA Reporters Visit to Fire
Engine House.

Incident of IL Reporters Visit to Fire
Engine House.
A reporter who had sought at fire
engine house Information on a point
concerning which the driver could best
inform him stood talking with the
driver by the stall of one of the horses.
The horse was secured by a tie strap
commonly used in the department. One
end of the tie strap is made fast by a
staple driven into the side of the stall,
while the other end is passed through
the throat latch of the horses bride and
held ON pin that rises in a little recess
in the side of the STALL By means of a
simple mechanical contrivance the pin
is pulled down at the first stroke of the
gong when an alarm is sounded, the tie
strap is released, and the horse is set
free. AS the driver and the reporter
talked, the horse, i'll friendly sort of
way, bent his head down toward tho
driver.
Suddenly an alarm was sounded, and
the horse was Transformed, and like
wise the driver. The horse s head went
up, and he was alert in every fiber. At
the first stroke the pin had dropped, and
the horse was free. With single bound
he cleared the stall and made for his
place by the engine, with the driver be-
side him. The other two horses Of the
team--this was a three horse team
were gathering forward at the same
moment. At the front of the house men
We're sliding down poles like lightning.
There were few sharp, quick, snap
ping sounds, as the men already there
snapped the collars together around the
ing of the gong.
In all the newer firehouses of the city
the stalls of the horses are placed as
nearly as possible abreast of the engine,
so that the horses shall have the shortest
possible distance to go. In some of the
older houses, in which there is less room,
the stalls are at the rear. That is where
they were in this house.
Surprised little, the reporter had
lost a second or two in getting to the
front. When he got there, he saw the
driver in his seat holding the lines over
the team ready to drive out and waiting
only for the last stroke on the gong.
All fire teams are hooked up on every
alarm. On first alarm they go out only
to fires within their own district. This
alarm was for fire outside the district
UNLOCKED, the horses trotted back tc
their stalls. Descending from his seat,
:he driver took up the interrupted con-
versation just as if nothing had hap.
