It was evident that the man who
stood in the door of the fire-engine house

you have an opportunity to prove
yourself a true friend to a great many
people, if you are willing to do it."
''I'll do anything in reason" said tho
fireman. 'What do you want to see me
do?"
'Why, you see, I live in that big apart
ment building on the next corner, and
there's woman above me who plays
the piano all the time"
':Well?'
"Well, I thought, maybe, if turned
in q fire alarm it would give you q
chance to rush up there and ruin that
piano before anyone had time to tell
you that it was false alarm. What?
You won't? might have known you
were no true friend to humanity."-Chi-

The CHILDREN'S BATH.

A Simple Means Of Keeping the Ska In
Healthy Condition.
Where children are too far from the
surf to btain the tonic effects Of sea
bathing simple bath of luke-warm wa
ter at night, with half q cup Of salt
added to every six or eight gallons of
water, will take its place. Rub the skin
briskly with q friction towel, and when
the flesh seems in glow let the bather
go to bed. The cooling effects Of bath
Of this kind, even on hot nights, are
usually such as to induce the most rest
full sleep. A daily bath Of cold water may
be undertaken with advantage by a
great many people. Such q habit Of
daily bathing should be begun in the
summer, and only by young people in
vigorous health. The best physicians
recommend this bath as most whole
some and valuable for those who can
endure the shock. Itshould be taken on
rising, and should be followed by brisk
rubbing. It is simply means of keep
ing the pores open and the skin in
healthy condition. Where the bath is
taken to remove dust and the effects Of
excessive perspiration, luke-warm wa
ter, with some good soap, is necessary.
Such a bath ought to be taken once a
week before going to bed at night or be-
fore a nap in the afternoon. It is con-
sidered unwise to take vigorous exer-
else after warm bath, while cold
bath calls for exercise to follow it.-N.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Some idea OF the amount of gold
stored in the treasures of princes in the
early times may be gained from the
statement that Cyrus booty from Asia
Minor, p. C. 500, amounted to ss,000,-
600; Alexander's from Persia, B. C. 1923.
was estimated at 351 900 talents, equal
to 6 81 100000.
The little mountain country of
Switzerland consumes an enormous
quantity of gold and silver in the arts,
using in 1894 $4,652, 200 of the former
and s2,2s5, 800 Of the latter. A large por-
ton of this precious metal went into the
manufacture Of watches and articles of
jewelry, for the production of which
Switzerland has long been famous.

Quaker Cats Eat Oysters.

Philadelphia cats are peculiar. AS
class they show great versatility and
a good deal of gastronomic enthusiasm.
There are cats in Philadelphia which
realize that the only way for an epicure
to really enjoy an oyster is to eat itraw
and off the half she'll. They haunt
certain fish market, and seem to pass
their lives in an endeavor to provide
themselves with well-opened bivalves.
They are not more enthusiastic in their
devotion to oysters than another Phil
adelphia cat, pretty Maltese, that has
learned just at what hour oysters are
delivered weekly at its masters house.
AS the oyster-eating Maltese stands in
the good graces of the oysterman and
the cook, it is enab bled once a week to
indulge its fancy for bivalves. It will
cat dozen raw oysters with an enthusi-
asm worthy of the very best oysters in
the market.-Chicago Journal.

Giving Gracefully,

There is on human law which compels
a man to grant a favor to another, or
to make a gift of either money or work.
unless he wishes to do so. But if he
does give to charity or to an Individual.
let it be gracefully. How many men,
bers of church and charitable commit
tees will attest mournfully to the fact
that there are some people whom they
dread to ask for money! They will:
give it, of course, but "grudgingly and
of necessity" There are others who,
when asked to donate something to
help ON worthy enterprise, respond:
"Certainly!" in way that makes the
gift precious. 1t is the spirit in which
it is granted that makes it acceptable
to God and man. The poor widow must
have given her mite willingly, or the
Lord, who knows the heart, would not
have commended her.-Harper's Bazar.

Morol-Cast Your Bread Upon tho Waters
and Walt.
One of San Francisco's capitalists is
Joseph Boardman. It is said that he is
millionaire, but to look at him you
would not think it. You could hardly
say that he dresses shabbily, but he
comes very close to it, and appears to
stranger to be some kindly old gentle
man whom fortune has never cared to
smile upon. Mr.. Boardman's house is
over in Oakland, but his Office is in San
Francisco, and each morning he makes
the trip over on the ferry.
The other morning he started for the
boat, and in his haste he forgot to trans
fer his pocketbook to his clothes. Of
course, he did not discover this until
he had reached the wharf. There was
no one in the crowd that he knew or
that knew him. He searched every
pocket in vain. A young man standing
near by witnessed the confusion of the
old gentleman, and, walking up to him,
thrust a coin into his hand and moved
back into the crowd.
The young man doubtless supposed
that he had done On act of kindness to
a needy one, and he fastened away in
order to make it less embarrassing for
his beneficiary. He had no opportuni-
ty to get far, however, before Mr..
Boardman caught him and made him
divulge his name and address. The
next day the young man was the re-
cipient Of snug check drawn by the
millionaire, and making him richer by
$1O0 than he was the day before

DESIGNED By A BRlTON.
Seal Of the United States Was Suggested
by an Englishman.

Seal Of the United States Was Suggested
by an Englishman.
The great seal of the United States is
of peculiar interest from the fact tha;
it is possibly the only one in the world
that was designed for government by
the subject of an opposing government.
Prestwich, a baronet of the west OF
England, who was warm friend of
America and an accomplished anti
quarian. His admiration for Wash
ington undoubtedly Influenced his de-
sign, as the Washington arms are
rather similar to our seal. Originally
the selection of the seal was left to a
committee appointed by congress and
composed of BENJAMIN Franklin, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and they
employed West Indian named Du
Sinitierio, not only to furnish designs:
but to sketch some designs as were sug-
gested by themselves. In one OF his
drawings the artist displayed on a
shield the armorial ensigns of the sew
eral nations from whence America had
been peopled, embracing those of Eng
land, Scotland, France, Germany and
Holland.
After several other committees had
vainly tried to perfect seal which
should meet the approval Of congress,
Charles Thompson, its secretary, sew
eral years later received from John
Adams, then in London, an exceeding
ly simple and appropriate device, sug-
gested by Sir John Prestwich. It con.
sisted of an escutcheon, bearing. 13 per-
pendicular stripes, white and red, with
chief blue, and spangled with 13 stars,
and, to give it great consequence, he
proposed placing it on the breast Of an
American eagle without supporters, as
emblematic of self-reGance. tlast this
met with general approval in and out
1882. So it is manifest, although the
fact is not extensively known, that we
are indebted for our national arms to
titled aristocrat of the country with
which we were then at war. It was cut
in brass soon after it had been decided
upon, and it is found upon commits
sion dated September 16, 1882, granting
full power and authority to Washing
ton to arrange with the British for pris-
oners of war. This seal continued III
use for SO years. The present seal diff
fers from it only in detail of execution.
The design of the reverse has pyramid.
over which there is an eye in triangle.
For some reason this side of the seal
was not cut then, nor has it been cut
since, but has been allowed to 60 un-
noticed officially until the present day.
The second seal was cut in 1871, DAME!
Webster then being secretary of state.
This one was continued in use up to
1885, when the seal now in use was cut.

HEARING REDUCED 1oA NIcETY.
Newly-Invented Phonendoscope and les
Application.

Nowly-lnvented Phonendosc0pe and 1es
Application.
The newly-invented phoaendoscope
is designed to be used by physicians and
surgeons fer detecting the presence of
disease by sound.
The instrument consists of circular
fiat metal box or tympanum, having on
it's one surface two aperatures for the
attachment of the rubber ear tubes,
while the other surface is formed Dy q
thin disk, which is readily thrown into
by simply applying this disk to the
surface to be examined. By an ingen-
ious contrivance second disk can be
superposed upon this one and o vul-
canite rod attached to the former, SO
that the area of auscultation may be
extremely circumscribed. The conduc-
ton of the sounds is only slightly d.
minished by the use of this rod, which
thus combines the principle of the solid
stethoscope with that of the tympanum.
The rod furnished with the instrument
is about two inches in length, but it is
stated that there are other rods of vari-
Gus lengths to enable the "phonendo-
scopist" to receive sound vibrations
from the natural cavities which COM
municate with the exterior of the body.
Altogether we consider the instrument
highly ingenious, compactly construct
ed, useful as an aid to auscultation.
and yet not likely to supersede the use
of the stethoscope. It may also be found
useful in class demonstration, since it
would be easy by means of branched
tubes to enable several persons to listen
at the same time.
The instrument would be particularly
useful for the following purposes:
First-The sound of the respiratory or
gans, of the circulation Of the blood,
and of the digestive organs in the
healthy body as well as in the sick SUBJ
ject. Second-The sounds made by the
muscles, joints and bones. Third-The
sound of the capillary circulation.
Fourth-The slightest sound produced
in any diseased condition of the body;
hence it is possible to draw on the body
dimensions, the position or any altera-
ton in the position of the various or
gans and of the fluids which have gath
cred in the most important cavities in
the body. Fifth-The sounds in the eye.
the ear, the bladder, the stomach and
the intestines.-London Lancet.

Fish on Sunday.

Stornoway, Scotland, lately had a
painful time with the Sunday question.
The fishing boats came in early on
a Sunday morning loaded with herring.
Some sold their catch at auction before
six o'clock, but of the Sabbatarians
one crew threw it's catch overheard,
while another gave away it's fish and
saw it sold by the persons to whom it
lad been given. Some, less scrupulous,
sprinkled salt over the fish in the boats
or threw the fish into barrels, put salt
on it, and left it till Monday. The town
is rent by the discussion that has arisen
on what Christian should have done
with the Sunday fish.-N. Y. Sun.
