Liquid Air in Commerce..

New methods of liquifying air at a
reduced cost have been invented in Ger
many, and Mr.. de Kay. United States
consulat Berlin, mentions in his official
report some of the uses TO which liquid
air may be put. One of these is for IL
Eliminating purposes, An illuminant
can be formed from liquid air by mix
ing it with ordinary air, in certain pro-
portions, while it is passing back to its
normal condition. Liquid air may also
serve as an explosive agent for various
purposes. AS a portable liquid, rich in
oxygen, it is suggested that il should
serve many purposes in manufactures.
The price in Germany has heretofore
been $2.25 for five cubic meters (about
176R cubic feet) of air reduced to the
liquid condition, but Prof Linde, OF
Munich, has invented a process where
by the cost has been brought down to
about ga cents per five cubic meters.

DIGNITY DIDN'T FAY.
4 Postmaster who Licked on stamps
When Requested.

When Requested.
The post Office at Grass Valley was
at the back end of general" store,
and the postmaster, who was also the
proprietor of the store, says the Detroit
Free Press, was weighing me out some
tobacco, when a solid, middle-aged wom-
an came and slammed tWo-cent piece
down on the counter and exclaimed:
"Stamp-two-certer!"
The postmaster handed her one, but
she waved it away and pitched letter
at his head and said:
Lick 'er on"
He promptly and humbly obeyed,
and as the woman walked away.
asked:
Don't people out this way lick on
their own postage stamps?"
Eyes, most of 'em, but that woman
is rather particular, and don't want
to take chances again"
"Chances on what?"
well she came in here about six
months ago for the first time, and
bought a stamp and commanded me to
lick I laid back on my dignity and
refused, and she turned around and
kicked the head out of bar'l of n. o.
molasses and l lost about $1l by the
operation. As my salary as postmaster
is only $23 a year can't take no more
chances"

IMPERIAL PAwNSHOP.
Austria Conducts the Parnbrolsing
Business for Her Poor.

Austria Conducts the PawnbroEing
Business for Her Poor.
Austria has an imperial pawn shop.
It was established in Vienna in 1907,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part of the etn-
pire. 1t was designed as way to secure
to the starving some means ofimmedi-
ate relief, and by putting the rate of in
terest as low as possible, and embody-
ing in the system every advantage that
could be given to those who sought to
make loans, it was found to be so et-
fective that il soon gained the imperial
sanction. and it was not long until its
managers were made public officials
under the direction of the minister of
the interior This is substantially tho
status of the institution at this time.
The rates are so low that the business
done on the cheap goods and chnttcls
of the poor could not possibly make the
establishment tsclf-sustaining; but peo-
pic who have been suddenly reduced
in circumstances orwho are temporarily
embarrassed, keep the margins on the
right side and enable the institution to
keep open without the aid of Il subsidy.
In the year 1893 total of s66,0l5 ar
ticles were pledged, and Of these SlS'-
562 were redeemed, II remarkable re-
demption ns compared with the proper
tions of the average puwnshop. Ihc
unredcemed pledges were sold by pub
lie auction and whenever they brought
more than the face of the pledge the
balance was set to the account Of the
plcdgcr, to be refunded any time with

Nexy ..-ning for Cnrncts.

". A. Maurain, manufacturer of
Providence, Il, l., has invented a new
lining for carpets. Strips of paper a
yard long are fed into a novel kind of
loom, automatically through a tubular
guide, which folds them lengthwise.
A firm elastic weft of an inch thick is
formed and securely bound by warp
threads. Another machine gums and
stitches on the paper selvage. The
loom insures a uniform product and the
woven paper gives an elastic feeling to

COMFORT FOR MAN AND BEAST.
The Picture Presented on a Hir Canal
Boat Tied Up Over Sunday.

The Picture Presented on a HiG Canal
Boat Tied Up Over Sunday.
Tied alongside bulkhead in the Har-
lem river was Il big canal boat In the
stable at one end stood three horses
munching hay out of their manger, says
the New York Sun. The deck over the
horses, forming the roof of their stable,
was foot or two, or maybe more than
that. higher than the surrounding deck.
and it was open all around, 50 that the
breeze blew through freely. 1t was a
hot day. but the horses were in the
shade, in place where they could get
the air if they could get it anywhere;
then they had plenty to eat. and they
were apparently as comfortable as
horses could be.
Down at the other end of the boat an
other scene presented itself. There an
awning had been stretched over the
deck from side to side, aft of the cabin.
1t was a Sunday. Under this awning.
in comfortable rocking-chair, sat the
canal boats captain, reading a news
paper. Here, too, sat the captains
wife. reading q book. Under the avn
ing. stretching from the cabin door,
they sat as on veranda in front Of a
honse on shore, and quite as much at
home. 1t would have been difficult to
find IL more comfortable spot, and, in
deed, the boat was picture OF comfort
for man and beast.

The Alps Under Foot.

The mystery is gone from the Alps
none but climbers know how com
pletely. Every mountain and point of
view OF even third-rate Importance
has been ascended, most by many
routes, says Scribner's. Almost every
gap between two peaks has been trav-
ersed as a pass. The publications of
some dozen mountaineering societies
have recorded these countless eXpedi-
tions in rows of volumes of appalling
length. Of late years vigorous attempts
have been made to coordinate this mass
of material in the form of climbers
guides. dealing with particular districts,
wherein every peak and pass is dealt
with in, strict geographical succession
and every different route and all the va
riations of each route are set forth,
with reference to the volumes in which
they have been described at length by
their discoverers. Nearly half the Alps
has been treated in this manner, but the
work has taken ten years, and. of
course the whole requires periodical
revision.

the dispatch, noticed that his own name
and titles were followed by two ct cetc-
ras, while the name of theking of Poland
was followed by three. The missing
ct cetera SO enraged the king of Sweden
that he at once declared war against
Poland This war was carried on with
great bitterness until 1860, when a
peace was signed at Olivia, near Dant-
zig. contemporary writer, Koch
owsky, poured out his lamentations on
the war in these terms: How dear has
this ct cctera been to us. With how
many lives have these two potentates
Eaid for these missing eight letters!
With what streams of blood has the
failure of a few drops of ink been
avenged" In article three of the
treaty it was explicitly laid down that
the custom of shortening titles by
"et cetern ton" should still hold good,
but for the future each OF the two part
les should give the other three ct Get

A very curious use TO which the camel
is sometimes put among the desert
tribes is related by a distinguished trav-
eler. He tells us that he once saw one
employed to appease a quarrel between
two parties, much as the "scapegoat"
was used in the religious rites of the
Jewish people. The camel was brought
out and accused by both parties to the
controversy of all the injuries, real and
Imaginary, which they had suffered
All the mischief that had been done
they laid upon the camel. They up
braided it with being the cause of the
fend which had separated friends, re-
viled it with every opprobrious epithet
and finally killed it, declaring them
selves reconciled over its body.
