A TRIFLE CAUTIOUS. +.
No City Man Could Get Ahead OF
- sE.t Him. ID.


Him. S
A typical farmer from the interior,
who had evidently come to the city to
spend soI9e of the proceeds of one dol
lar wheat, walked autiously into one
OF the better-class hotels, says the De-
troit Free Press. One OF the bell boys
saw him weighted downwith a satchel
and coat and umbrella and, as was his
custom, .dhrted toward the door to take
the visitors burdens and pilot him to
the clerks desk. He reached down to
grasp the satchel. Quick as "a flash the
old mans right arm shot out with! his
umbrella and just as Mr.. Bell Boy took
hold Of the satchel the umbrella came
down on his back with tNhack.
''Take that, young fellow!" remarked
the visitor. ''You can't grab things
away from me. I've heerd Nv how yew
fellers work it. Grab a hand bag an
skip afore man has a chance. tew wink.
But fooled We this time, gosh darn ye!
Yew git out o. here right quick"
The old man raised his umbrella again
threateningly and the bell boy, much
discounted, slid toward his seat, while
the farmer once more cautiously adj
vamced to the desk. The clerk reached
out warmly to grasp his prospective
guests hand. But it didn't grasp.
"Young man." said the old fellow,
yew're trifle previous, amt We? When
I git reddy tew shake, I'll let We know.
Yew don't know me, an I don't know
view, yet. Jest keep that paw ter yer
self. There; now, gimme quill an I'll
show ye who I amA''
He got the quill and registered, but
bell boys and clerks gave their guest
full right of way: in either direction. !

DISTANCE MERCURY REACHES.
The Thermometer Bulb Contains
Enough to Stretch Miles.

The Thermometer Bulb Contains
Enough to Stretch Miles.
While almost anyone knows about
the principles on which ordinary Their
mometers operate, there are number
of things about the little instrument
which are not generally known, and
which are of a great deal of interest,
says the Boston Transcript. One of the
most peculiar of these is the question
of the length of tube which the. mercury
in the bulb Of an ordinary Thermometer
would fill if it were stretched out in a
single column the size of that in the
tube.
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say from
five to fifteen feet, while as a matter of
fact this column of mercury would in
an extremely delicate instrument be
miles in length. The reason of this is
that the column Of mercury, while it
appears quite Target is really Of almost
infinitesimal size. If the tube of Their
mometer is broken, one is at first at a
loss to see where the mercury goes in,
but close examination will disclose
a fine line, much thinner than hair,
running across the end Of the tube,
and this is one end of a little slit in
which the mercury rises. AS it has it's
flat side toward the eye, it appears to
be quite large, and the conyexity of the
outside of the tube, through which it
is seen, magnifes it, and gives it that
rounded appearance which is so decep-
tive. The reason why the slit is made
so small is to give the greatest ratio of
result for the expansion of the mercury
in the bulb,
