LAUNDRY CHARACTERS.
Too Difhcult For the Captain to Get the
Right End of His Name.

Right End OF His Name.
Captain Thomas s. Smith of East One
Hundred and Twenty fourth street, who
is somewhat of philologist, had an
amusing experience in trying to analyze
certain Chinese characters. 1t appears
that when Chang Lee located his laun-
dry in Harlem, the captain was his first
customer. As the acquaintance grew
Chang Lee strained the red tape laun-
dry laws and did not issue the usual
ticket to the captain, but called at his
apartment every Monday for his laun-
dry and returned it ON Thursday in a
package marked with hieroglyphics.
Is that my manner" asked the cap
tain Of Chang as he pointed at the Chi
nese characters shortly after the laundry
delivery plan was inaugurated.
"Yes. He you name. See?"
The captain didn't see, but set at
work to do so, and for several weeks
studied the writing that Chang Lee
brought To him Oh each returning Thurs
day. He searched the Libraries for such
Chinese literature and lexicons as they
held, examined laundry tickets and read
the signs in Mott street in the hope Of
being able to learn how Chang Lees
characters conveyed the idea of the
name Of Smith, but he made an utter
failure. Finally he decided to appeal to
Chang Lee
lis that my manner" he asked the
laundryman ON the occasion Of his next
visit.

"Can you tell me how you get Smith
out of such looking scrawl?"
"No, not Smith He say Captain. ;
Call you captain, That your name.
See?' answered the ChinamaD as be
pointed at the characters, with an ex-
preston that showed surprise at the cap
tain's ignorance. New York Herald.

What the Horns Sounded.

There was always plenty OF tongue and

after endless doubles and beating Of the
water and all the thousand stratagems OF
the hunted deer, the pursuers by slotting
and relaying, but mainly by honest hunt
ing, run up to their stag, and hc turns to
bay. And then comes such q hullabaloo OF
horns and halloos and baying of hounds rs
never WAS heard-all of IL prolonged to
the utmost, that every hound and every
sportsman may come up before the dealing
of the death stroke And then the horns
changed their note and blew the hart,
which etiquette forbade to be blown till
that supreme moment, and Herewith fol-
lowed elaborate ceremonies for cleaning
tho deer and preparing for the worry, or,
as 1t was called, quarry (curee).
Finally the master and the gentlemen
next In rank to him held up the deer 9
head above the hounds portion and "skili.
fully loud" tho master cried out, "Dedow''
lead hob, which was the signal for blood
ing the hounds and for fresh outburst OF
noise. "Hallo every wight and every man
blow the death is the order in the book,
and they kept on halloing and blowing,
for IL was the rule that as often A. any
man began to blow the rest should bear
him fellowship. Then came fresh blast
for the coupling of the hounds, with a
pause Of an ave Maria while" between
tho notes, yet another blast when the
hounds went home and hnal concert led
by the master on arriving ut the hall.
Thus the whole countryside knew when
their lord had killed his deer and rejoiced

FIRE AND AIR.
Their Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
ognixed--Lord Baron's Belief

Their Intimate Relation WAs Early Rec
ognised-Lord Baron's Belief
The intimate relation between fire
that experience soon taught that air was
necessary for fire. The experiment Of
burning candle in n closed vessel now
30 familiar 20 every schoolboy, is q very
old one, and the influence Of olaEt Of
air Oh furnace had been probably no
ticed from very remote period. By
some IL was affirmed TO be the food Of
embodied in the phrase, Air nourishes
fire"
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance well known to the
chemical philosophers Of the past. could
produce intense ignition. IL was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property. it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each other
in composition. According to Robert
Boyle. the air contained volatile nj
ter, while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning were
supposed to be due TO the presence Of
minute PARTICLES Of this inter diffused
through air.
The important bearing Of such obser-
vations Is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one Of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one TO which il owes
its power of supporting combustion,
also forms the largest elementary con
stitnent Of inter and is likewise the
source OF the power posseeeed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The action Of heat ON metals in caus-
ing them TO lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardsn,
philosopher who lived during the six
teeDth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed il to the gas in
the air, which feeds fame and which
rskindles "a body presenting an ignited

the shore OF Big Portage for a possible
mill site. The four gentlemen also drove
over to the Franklin mill and examined
the new sand pump in successful working
there, and altogether spent busy day
together. When four gentlemen whose

Painless Wxecution.

In Germany the view obtains that the
execution of criminals should be by
some means more certain even than the
electric chair. DR.. f. Cuhmann, a cele-
brated chemist, suggests the use Of car
bolic acid. According to his plan, the
criminal would be carried TO cell,
which can be- filed noiselessly with car
bolic acid in gaseous form from floor TO
ceiling. When the gas reaches the de-
linquent's mouth and nose il causes in
slant paralysis Of the lungs and uncon-

vious pain.
