KITTENS IN THE ORGAN.
The Attendants at vespers Received Sur

The moro devout Of the parishioners of
ST. Mary's Catholic church, Lawrenceville,

day evening had special musical treat
In store for them.
AS Mrs. Charles Mitchell, the organist,
took her seat at the organ and began To
play one of the yesperal psalms, strange
quartet responded, not In the solemn
strains of the Gregorian chant, but "mew,

The whole choir was dumfounded.

were.
However, no effort was made 10 find
them until after yCspers, but then search
was made, under the direction of Father
Tobin. Deep Ia the bowels Of the organ
were found four little kittens about ,
hours old They could not have been any

WHY CALLED TUMBlERS.
Curious Origin of the Name Of an Article
In Daily Use.

SuTious VI inc VI III ATtlClt
In Daily Use.
Every day we drink out of tumbler.
Why is the large glass that holds our milk
and water so calledY Years ago Professor
Max Muller was giving luncheon at All
Souls college, Oxford, TO the Princess
Alice, the wife of the Grand Duke of
Hesse- Darmstadt and the second daughter
of Queen Victoria There were not dozen
guests besides the princess and her hus-
band, and very agreeable luncheon we
had, with talk on all kinds of interesting
subjects.
But what excited the curiosity of all
strangers present was q set of little round
bowls of silver, about the size of q large
orange. They were brought round filled
to the brim with the famous ale brewed
in the college. These, we are told, were
tumblers, and we were speedily shown how
they came by their names-a fitting lesson
for the guests of philologist. When one
of these little bowls was empty it was
placed upon the table mouth downward.
Instantly, so perfect was the balance, it
flew back to its proper position us If ask
ing TO be filled again. No matter how it
was treated trundled along the floors, bal
anced carefully on its side, dropped sud-
denly upon the soft, thick carpet-up it
rolled again and settled itself with few
gentle shakings and swayings into its
place, like one of those india rubber tum-
bling dolls babies delight in.
This, then, was the origin Of our word
tumbler, at first made of silver, as are all
these All Souls tumblers Then, when
glass became common, the round glasses
that stood on fiat base superseded the ex-
quisitely balanced silver spheres and stole
their names so successfully that you have
to go to All Souls to see the real thing

His Own FAINT.

The copper country bicycle riders do
an item in the Ishpeming department OF
yesterdays Journal in regard to the five.
mile race at Lake Linden. They say
that Williams won the race fairly enough.
but do not think they are TO be blamed
for the tumble Odds had. Olds attempted
To pass Harris in the race and their ped
ais caughc with the result that the for
mer was thrown off hs bicycle and slight.
ly ratched. His wheel was also badly
used up, but il was entirely his own
fault, az he had no right whatever to
try TO pass Harris without taking his
proper distance in order TO avoid running
into him.
As for Wi lams being mixed up in the
smashup and losing 100 feet by the acct
dent, it does not seem probable that this
could have happened and not be noticed
by the spectators. When Odds fell the
other riders continued on the track as il
nothing had happened and they were
well punched as before with Williams in
the bunch.
There is no question but that Williams
is altogeter too spec ~ a man for the
copper country riders, but he was treated
with the utmost regard and considera
ton in every race he was in and there
was no attempt whatever on the part OF
the local riders TO do anythinR but act
fairly with the boys from Ishpeming.

Edison with the Use Of Hsssrseity.
When Thomas Edison began expert
menting with electricity as means of
extracting iron oxide from rock n
shiver ran through the spinal columns
of iron mine owners. Then the ma alter
was forgotten and the public heard
nothing more about magnetic separa:-
ors until a few days ago, when the
news came out that the method was
not only perfected. but that by it 5000
toms of bessemer steel were being
turned out every day at Edison, N. ].
iMr Edison has been developing his
newest discovery quietly, and now his
smelling works and their nppurtcnant
buildings cover many acres among the
Jersey mountsins. The rock is blast
ed out of open quarries, 5000 tons at 9
time. and carried by enormous electric
cranes to rollers which crush the
largest bowlders as If they were lump
