Railroad

A very smart young man, wishing to
supply amusement for a group Of
young ladies that accompanied him.
accosted the conductor of a railroad
train as follows:
"My dear conductor. what-er-do
you call an up train?'
"Why a train that blows up, ex-
plodes, goes to smash-anything Of
that sort"
"Ah, yes, to be sure. And-er-what
do you call a down train?'
down train?-why, that's a train
that goes down an embankment, or
through a trestle-work; has some sort
Of a fall, you know"
The young ladies were laughing
heartily at these answers, which en-
barrassed the young man, and, des-
perately, pointing to the train they
were about to board, he asked: And
where might this train be going|
ooh" replied the conductor, 1--WE

TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH.
Sad Effects of Too Much Candor in
an A~ristOcrntic Mansion.

Two fair young girls sat in a dainty
boud1ir gazing into each others eyes.
"We are such good friends. Marcia"
said one, that we can afford to say to
each other Just what we think. Now, I
have such a splendid scheme. Suppose
we start out to-day by telling each 9TH
err the exact truth, without regard to
any question of p~oliteness?"
"How perfectly lovely, Lobelia. :
cooed the younger girl of the two. Let
us begin right away. What do you
think of me?"
II think" said Marcia, that you are
almost as pretty as you think you are,
and when you don't try to be. you are
the most charming girl in the world"
How awfully good Of you," rejoined
the other; "and do you know that when
you came in I was thinking that you
looked just like one Of those big feath-
er busters which had taken a notion to
walk? Only your feet are so very
large that the illusion was not quite
perfect"
Two disheveled young women, with
their faces cross-lined by scratches,
were taken out of that aristocratic
mansion five minutes later and hurried
in an ambulance to the nearest hospi-
tal.-New York Herald.

Are Expected of Him.
If the blossoming of the female
"bud'' into a flower of society Is a
| proper topic for newspaper discussion,
| why should not the male "bud" be hon
| ored with a detailed "write-up" in the
| public prints, so that his charms may
be as widely advertised as those Of
the attractive creatures who depend
| upon him for seats at the opera and
| partners at the german? Evidently
| there is no reason for the discrimina-
| ton from the point of view Of a Wash
ington paper, which presents, in sew
eral columns, the best qualities Of a
| number of masculine "buds" which are
now full-blown.
The proud monopoly which the fairer
sex has heretofore enjoyed is thus
rudely assailed, and hereafter it would
| not be surprising if the enterprising
social reporter has to give as much at
| tention to these coy young things that
| wear dress coats and belong to the
club as he has heretofore devoted to
the ladies. Whether this shall prove to
be an atIiiction remains to be seen, but
the novelty of the innovation will no
doubt lend some interest at first to the
apotheosis of the male bud" Blonde
or blondine, brunette or strawberry
type, he will be pictured to us in all
his stunning beauty.
The part of his hair, the length of his
collar and the hrevity of his %top-coat.
the style Of his boots and the color of
his gloves, the diameter of his eye
glasses and the angle at which he
wears his silk hat-all these details
and many more not here set forth, will
be dwelt upon with the nice analysis
and painstaking Industry of the socie-
ty reporter. Eye(ashes, teeth, trim of
beard or mustaclle, nose of Grecian or
Roman type, perhaps r%etrousse or e.
| pansive, will not be neglected, of
course.
Great things are promised for the ex-
altation Of the male bud" and If he
has heretofore blossomed in obscurity,
the time Of his apatheosis has come.
No longer will he be a violet in modest
seclusion, but a %sunAower, brilliant, If
not gaudy.-Baltimore Sun.

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.
The Secret of the Way to Get Read
crs and to Keen Them.

The Secret of the Way to Get Read
crs and to Keep Them.
A recent issue of Il newspaper pub
lished in II of the largest cities in
the country gave the leading position
on It's editorial page to Il double-leaded
announcement of the abandonment Of
the issuance of an art supplement"
and the adoption of another scheme,
remarking that for the ornamental
ton of the library anr parlor better
are publications are needed than any
that can be n out in the folds of "a
great newspaper"
1t is n wonder that an inkling of the
insutticiency of any scheme to increase
circulation other than the steady day
by-day or wcek-bysWeek making of a
newspaper good enough to attract
readers does not oftener enter the
acute brains of newspaper managers.
During the past four or five years
there have been myriads of schemes
c%oncocted to induce people to buy
newspapers. Many newspapers lave
risen to more or less dizzy heights of
prosperity, and have gradually sunk
again TO the level of their merits as
newspapers. Some, indeed, have
shrewdly recognized the illusory ma
ture of the promises held out by the
coupon, the book, the picture, and 9TH
er devices, and have used them mere
ly to attract attention to their sub
stantial merits. These have profted
permanently. But for une that has
followed the schemes with real I'M
provement, and thus held some of the
transitGry readers, there are scores
that have not done anything of the
sort, and have gained nothing but an
unpleasant experience.
There is but ore way to boom circu-
lation that is really worth consider
ing.
1t is to make q good paper.
Everybody feels the need of a news.
paper, and everybody is going to buy
the best newspaper offered him-ac-
cording to his basis of judgment of
which the best is.
1t follows as night follows day, that
to successfully boom circulation the
needs and tastes Of prospective buy
ers must be carefully studied, and
then the paper must be made a good
paper, according to the Judgment Of
the people who are expected TO read
1t, rather than according to the taste
of the man who makes 1t.
The fundamental errcr Of a large
proportion of editors who do not at
tain the degree of success they desire
is that they endeavor to induce t'G
people to read their sort of newspap-
er. Now q mar wears the sort of
clothes that suit his own taste. He
also reads the newspaper that comes
nearest to giving him the sort Of news
paper reading he wants.
To people hungerirg for a newspap-
er 1t is useless to offer cheap repro
auctions of paintings, cheaper gotten
up books, etc. 1t is useless to offer
them anything but the sort of news
paper they demand. What grocer
would think of wrapping UP a sweet
potato for a. customer that called for
a lemon?
1t is the news that people want in
newspapers, and when they buy
newspapers. A full recognition of that
fact must constitute the foundation
stone of any and all schemes to boom
circulation, or the manager will be
forced to ''eat ~snowhalls," or apples Of
Sodom.-Newspaperdom.

The CryptOscoDe.

But little additional detail has been
furnished concerning the wonderful
invention of the cryptoscope by Prof.
Salvioni, of the University of Perugia.
By means Of this instrument Prof.
Salvioni claims that he can actually
see the bones of TIE living body or hid
den objects through the aid of Roent-
gen rays. The cryptoscope Is simply
a black cardboard tube, coated inside
with a tluoreScent matter, such as
barium platino-cyanide, or sulphate Of
calcium. AT one end is Il lens, which
enables the observer to see the fluores-
cen surface. The object to be exam
ined is placed in the light of a Crookes
tube, and the observer looks at it
through the cryptoscope from a suita-
BILE distance. On the fluorescent card
board, which is excited by the Roent-
gen rays passing through the object,
the shadows can be seen by the eye as
though they were developed on a pho
~tographic plate. \ duplicate instru-
ment, made and tested in Rome, is
said to have shown the bones in the
hands, coins In q purse or in the
clenched hand. The essential fact in
the instrument is the substitution of q
phoSphoreScent or fluOreScent screen
for the Photographic plate, allowing
the rays which pass through the body
to fall on the screen and excite phos-
phorescence in it according to their
strength, just as they excite more or
less chemical action in the sensitive
plate. If this invention turns out to be
all that is claimed for it, it will be Of
infinite value to medical men in that
it will allow immediate investigation
into the condition of n patient without
the undesirable delay which follows
on having to wait until the photograph
is developed.

WHERE ANCHORS ARE MADE.
An Industry That FIourishes Best in
Camden, Me.

Me.
There are a larger number of shir's
anchors manufactured in the little
town Of Camden, Me-, than in all the
other places in the country combined.
All Of the stately ships that out
Of the Maine ship yards look to the
village on Penobscot bay for tlleir an
chors. Sturdy smiths swing their
hammers day after day all the veal
long in the black, smoky, long, low
Camden shops, where only anchors are
forged. Sometimes the tripllamlners
are going all night about the FORCES.
and the blazing of the fires and the
ring Of tile hammers are seen and
heard for miles acr SIS tile bay.
Thousands of tons of old iron tire
purchased by these queer Camden os-
Establishments every year, for anchors
arc forged largely from CASTOR iron.
The material is cut into small pieces
By great shears that clip through the
iron rs easily as q cheese-knife slices
a cheese. The pieces are bound into
bundles by strong wires, and then
fused in the FORCES. Then they are
pounded and welded into the various
parts of the anchor, some workmen
fashloning rings, others shaping the
tiukes, others hammering Il the
palms and others forging the shanks.
Then the "completers' take the differ
emf parts and fuse and weld them into
the finished anchor. Anchors of all
sizes and weights are turned out from
the noisy shops Of Camden, from the
braceful little pleasure-boat anchor,
weighing but a few pounds, to the
great 5000 and 1900 pound anchors,
for the biggest ships.
The visitor in Camden will see many
interesting relics in the line Of rusty
and broken anchors that did duty in
their day on famous merchant vessels,
historic war ships and sturdy whalers.
The anchor Of the famous frigate,
Cumberland was repaired and fitted
with a new stock at the Camden
works, and is nov at sea on the fore
castle Of a big ship. The old stock was
splintered up for the qualification Of
relic hunters, and there is only a sliv-
er or two of the historic wood left in
Camden. This was the anchor which
went down with the Cumberland when
she sank after her fight with the Mer-
rimac in Hampton Roads, hence the
great demand for splinters Of the
stock.
There are something like 5000 reo-
pie living in Camden, and anchor
making is the principal industry there.
