Afterward There Was Light.

An old farmer, we'll known for his
miserly habits, in order to save the
candles, was in the habit of giving the
farm hands their supper in semi-dark-
ness.
The laborers at first grumbled at
this, but the farmer took no notice.
Things went on in much the same
way for some little time, till the farmer
had occasion to hire another farmland
named Tam s..
Tam, who was we'll known to some
of the other laborers as a wild and
reckless sort of character, and always
ready for mischief, was informed as to
how matters stood, and Tam vowed he
would alter things somehow.
That night at supper, which con-
sisted of porridge, Tam took his seat
OH the righthand side of the farmer,
and, watching his opportunity, quickly
plunged a spoonful of the hot porridge
into the farmers mouth. The farmer
jumped up, with roar of agony, and
demanded an explanation.
''Weel, farmer" replied Tam, "it's

WAS first employed ut Harry Hills resort

The Reward of valOr.

Perhaps the most dramatic reward
Lord Charles Beresford ever got for
valor, was few years ago. One bit
ter cold night, when his ship was off
the Falkland islands, there was cry
of "man overheard" The sentry had
disappeared beneath the floating ice.
Though clad in heavy garments, Lord
Charles instantly seized coil Of rope
and leaped into the sea. ''I went
down and down and down." said Lord
Charles, when relating the incident,
"until began to think that the other
end of the rope was not fastened to
anything. At last I grasped my man,
the rope became taut, and began to
ascend. The ships corporal helped
us both out" Fifteen years after
ward Lord Charles was speaking at a
political meeting in support of Lord
Folkestone's candidature. The hall
was packed, and suddenly there was a
scuffie at the back. "Chuck him
out" cried some one; but Lord
Charles invited the man to come up to
the platform, and they would listen
to what he had to say. The man
struggled forward ip great excitement.
He only wanted to shake hands with
his rescuer. He was the sailor who
had been saved by Lord Charles from
the icy sea off the Falkland Islands.

A Marvellous Machine.

A machine has been invented which
is composed of exquisitely grad
uated wheels, running q tiny dia-
mond point at the end of an almost
equally tiny arm, whereby one is able
to write upon glass the whole of the
Lords prayer within space which
measured the 294th part Of an inch in
length by the 44Oth part of an inch IN
breadth, OF about the measurement of
the dot over the letter 81" in common
print, says the Philadelphia Record.
With this machine any one who under
stood operating it could write the
whole 1866, 4SO letters of the Bible
eight times over the space of an inch
"a square inch. A specimen of this
microscopic writing was
enlarged by photography, and every
letter and point was perfect, and could
be read with ease.

ably less i'll an air line.
George had never tried coasting, but
had some sort of an idea that it would
save time if he let the pedals alone.
So at Summer Hill he took his feet
from the pedals and the wheel did the
rest. At first everything went well.
Half way down the hill the road makes
sudden turn and around this George
went at speed that would have made
Michael green with envy. A couple
of wagons were coming up the hill but
got rapidly ont of the way when they
heard Maybury's hysterical bell. The
young mans hat had gone and his
hair was making desperate efforts to
follow it.
At the foot of the hill are the tracks
of the Camden and Amboy Railroad.
There was train only few hundred
feet from the crossing as Maybury ap-
preached, but the farmer boy was
going at rate Of speed never at
tempted by Camden and Amboy
locomotive, and the agony was over
before the train reached the crossing.
From the railroad the road slopes
gradually down to the bank of South
River, where it turns and follows the
rivers course.
Maybury was past thinking. All he
could do was to shut his eyes and cling
desperately to the handles. Straight
ON to the river he went. The wheel
caught in heap of brush and stopped
short. Maybury didn't stop. He
went straight on over his handle bars
and took a neat header into the icy
waters of the river.
Like true wheelman the first thing
George did after he climbed up the
bank was to look after his machine.
There wasn't thing broken.
"Thank Heaven!' said George.

Among the events OF the year the celebrA-
tion OF the twenty-tifth anniversary OF the
accession Of Albert | as King of Saxony will
be important. He is one OF the most genial
and kindly OF the European potentates and
is loved by his people. His military career
has been brilliant, his private life sad. He
WAS born April %. 1898. As crown prince he
fought va.iantly in Schleswig-Ho in
1919 and commanded the Saxon army against
Prussia in 1865. When Saxony entered the
North German union he was placed at
the head of II corps and in this position
took part in the battles of Gravellet and Sc
dan. In 1871 he was made field marshal of
the empire. lie assembled the throne upon
the death OF his father in 1873 His best
friend is Francis Joseph, emperor OF Austria.
They have had much In common. The pri-
vate life of each has been illed with misfor-
tune. Albert was forced by diplomatic per-
suaSion to sever happy marriage with a
ioVeiy woman OF non-royal birth and from
the children OF that marriage. in order to
enter upon loveless marriage with the
estimaole daughter of the last survivor OF
the historical Swedish royal house of yasa.
No children have been born to them.

A New Wrinkle For Foundrymen.

One OF the New York printing ma
chine builders, says Engineering. has
succeeded in producing extremely &C.
curate gear-wheel castings by the
simple device of using machine.cut
metal pattern. and baking the mold in
core oven before the pattern is re-
moved. Under these conditions the
metal mold expands while the clay
tends to shrink, with the result that
on cooling, the pattern can be with
drawn, leaving behind it perfect
mold. Wheels cast in this way show,
it is stated, the tool marks on the
original pattern, and customers have
accepted them as machine-cut wheels.
