"Not long ago" snys Philadelphia
clergyman, u made an earnest appeal dur
ing a sunday morning service for contri-
buttons to support II certain branch OF the
church work. The ushers distributed blank
subscription cards, which were To be filled
out with promises to pay specified sums
within year and returned. One of our
leading members filed out his card for So,
but by the time the ushers collected the
blanks he had changed his mind and dc
cided not to give anything. Hc held the
paper In his hand until the church services
were over, and upon leaving the church
tore Il up In little pieces and threw IL In
the street. Providence had AN eye on that
man, and 80 did "a policeman who stood on
the corner. The latter arres.ed the erring
brother for throwing the paper In the
street, took him to the police station and
had him locked up. The next morning hc
was fined o.. 30 for violating n city ordi-
nance. New York Tribune.

MODERN SEWING.

Mach Of It Removed From tho Home
the Manufactory.
The sewing machine docs not occupy the
position in domestic life that 1t did ten
years ago. There has been great revolu-
ton in the sewing machine business In
that time. The evolution which began
when the foremothers Of the country gave
up their hand looms and sent their spin
ming and weaving to the factory is still
going on. The appearance Of the sewing
machine marked one stage Of the evolu-
ton, and it's disappearance AS one Of the
most important assistants in every family
marks another
The sewing machines are superior now
to those made 10 or 20 years ago, and they
are made to do better and greater variety
of work, but the great demand for them
comes from different quarters. One large
sewing machine company which has an
output of over 400, 900 machines a year in
this country alone manufactures 80 dis
tinct types of machines, and with the
variations Of the types there are several
hundred different kinds Of machines.
Many Of these 20 into factories A woman
can buy undergarments ready made cheap
er than she can buy the material and make
them herself. This is owing to the factory
work, where each worker makes part of
a garment which has perhaps been cut out
by a die, 80 pieces at time.
The lack of room in city apartments
makes economy Of space necessity, and
the housekeeper for the periodical vista
tions Of the seamstress or drcssmaker hires
a machine from places where n speciality
is made of that branch of the business.
Outside the large cities this practice is not
so common. The manufacturers say that
the family trade they lose is made up not
only in selling to manufacturers, but to
the many foreigners in the country, who
in city like New York do great ouanti-
ties of work for manufacturers on their
own machines in their own homes. 1t Is
estimated there are 1000, 600 machines
sold In the United States annually. The
statistics Of the census of 1890 showing
the number of manufactures on which
machine sowing is used are interesting.
They also show that the production Of
mems clothing In factories was nearly
double that of the tailoring establish
ments. While the actual number of ma
chimes sold annually during the last 10 or
20 years has not varied greatly, consider
ing the increase of the population, it has
proportionately decreased % per cent or
moro. New York Times.

Ths Use Of the GyromeIe. . Curious Nur-
gical Device.
While the latest discoveries In electrical
science and chemistry are widely herald
cd and get the lions share Of praise In the
world of nonprofessional people, the doc
|. tors Of the country are keeping quietly at
work devising new instruments and new
mechanical appliances to lessen pain and
diminish disease Hardly month passes
bat some Important Improvement is made
In American surgical science, and each
year shows a distinct advance. Often some
notable new instrument comes out that
solves some long existing problem. Sur
gerry Ii the one branch Of modern science
where an inventors work avails him moth
Ing except fame, for 1t Is against medical
ethics for doctor to patent a device or to
get pay for making 1t. All he can do Ia To
get some instrument maker to put it upon
the market and see that his brother ply
sicians share in its benefits.
One of the most curious devices of any
thing In the surgeons line is the gyro-
mele, a delicately adjusted and novel In
strument for spOnging out the stomach.
1t has been possible for many years to
wash out the stomach, and the instru-
ments made for this purpose have reached
a high state Of perfection. The gyromele,
however, has a totally different purpose
and works on totally different principle
1t is sponge at the end OF two wire rods
which are inclosed In rubber tubes These
rods are flexible as well as slender, and a
patient finds no difficulty in swallowing
the little sponge, rubber tubes and all.
The tubes and the wire rods are Just
long enough TO protrude from the mouth
when the sponge has been swallowed and
Is resting In the stomach. 1t is, of course.
dampened just before insertion. The doc
tor then, seeing that his patient Is comfort
ably settled, gently twists the wires. These
move the sponge backward and forward
and with any motion desired. The process
is not only moro agreeable to the sick man
or woman than the old method Of actually
washing out the stomach, but 1t does the
necessary work better. The mucous mem.
brane that lines this digestive organ Is
delicate aud tenacious, holding firmly par
ticles of food at certain times, and this
soft sponge surface that moves over It ao-
oomplishes quickly and even with some
thing OF pleasant sensation what repeat
cd fowings of water may not.
An old physician Of New York tells how
In one case he was obliged to use 10 gal
Ions Of water to wash out q stomach, and
how with the final quantity small bits of
rice and other substances wero brought up.
1t Is not intended that the gyromele shall
supersede the old washing instrument, but
that it shall be applied to certain cases.

Lunch Cart Breaks Through
the Ice Yesterday.
Christmas Music in the Churches
Will Be Elaborate.
Death OF q Popular Young Man-Funeral Of
Mrs. EXPLICITLY Locals.

Skating was good on the Hunt street
pond yesterday, and large number OF the
lovers of that sport gathered there TO en-
10y themselves. The large number OF peo-
Die present naturally attracted the venders
of hot coffee and light lunches to the spot.
There were two of these lunch carts drawn
upon the bank to supply the wants OF the
skaters. One of the carts seemed to be
getting the lions share of the patronage,
and this fact did not please the proprietor
of the deserted Delmonico. Suddenly
bright idea struck him, and he immedi-
ately proceeded to put 1t into execution.
He thought IL he were to propel his eating
house to the middle of the pond he would
have a cinch on the other fellow. To
think was to act, and in a short time he
was holding forth in the middle OF the
nopd. the coins of the realms were coming
his way and business was booming.
Without any warning tha cart and its
contents began to sink beneath the Ice,
and grand slump was quite noticeable In
lunch cart stocks. The white aproned cul-
inary artist escaped from the sinking team
with the cash receipts safely tucked under
his arms. The wagon sank into the mud
to quite a depth, and In resuscitating 1t
from its chilly bed several parts OF the
vehicle were broken. The fellow who
remained on tho bank didn't say a word
after that, but kept on selling goods. He
had the whole field to himself.

The services at the Broad street Baptist
Church yesterday were Of an unusually
impressive character. A special musical
programme was arranged for the Occa-
sion by George G. Stillman, the choris-
