The LaymanAs Tip.

To illustrate the kind of lapse OF
reasoning power from which great in
ventors are known to suffer, like that
under influence of which Sir. Isaac
Newton cut one hole in wall to leL q
cat pass through and then small
hole for the kitten, an old story in the
life of S. F. B. Morse has been re-
vived. Long before he invented the
telegraph Morse was known to tie
officers of the patent Office as persis
tent applicant for patents. When
his great invention of distance writ
ing'' was about completed he wanted
the Baltimore & Ohio Railway COM
pany to try it. To get rid of him the
president of the road turned him over
to subordinate. This official was
struck with the beauty of the inven-
tion and became so interested in it
that he sat up half the night discus
sing it with its inventor. At length
Morse confessed there was only one
thing which bafied him. GAS long
as the railroad runs" he said, "where
poles may be erected, 1t Will be easy
sailing, but when we come to the big
bridges, what is to be done then? We
can't erect poles across the stream, and
without them the wire would sag and
perhaps break from its own weight. 1
confess I don't know what to do.
Can't you suggest way out of the
ditiiculty?'
"Why don't you fasten tue wires to
the bridge?" asked his companion,
without moments hesitation. For
a moment Morse gazed at him with
open mouth, and then exclaimed:
"Why not, indeed? Why, I never
thought of that. It's the very way"
The layman's tip put the finishing
touch to the great work of the great
inventor, and thus wires came to be
strung on bridges when crossing large
streams.-Chicago Record.

Political Secrets Sold in China;

Discussing DR.. Morrison's success.
in Pekin in his capacity as Times corr
respondent, the London corresponds
ent of the Manchester Guardian says
it has surprised no one who knows
how business is transacted in the va
mems in Pekin, and indeed all over
China. It is done more or less coram
populo. The Yamen ministers, each
with his servants, sit at small ebony
tables, the foreign minister sitting at
another. The large hall in which the
meeting takes place contains num-
Der of screens behind which sit secre-
taries, scribes, and the like, who
record the conversation that takes
place, and in an hour official Pekin
knows all about it. All the legations
have officials in the Yamen in their
pay, who report everything that takes
place to them. give them copies of
dispatches, kilograms, forthcoming
imperial DEGREES, important secret
memorials, and the like. Any one
who knows the very simple and unso-
phisticated methods of corruption
prevalent among Chinese officials and
who is ready to pay the price can get
all this information as well as the
legations, and DR.. Morrison has
availed himself of this state of things
as we'll as the foreign representatives
in Pekin. To complain, as the for
eign office did, of the disclosure of the
Talienwan negotiations as unpatriotic
conduct on the part of the correspond
ent was ridiculous. Every minister
in Pekin knew nil about it, and through
the same channel as the correspond
ent, whose merit is that he has been
the first to avail himself for newspaper
purpos of sources of information ac-
cessible to every intelligent and adroit
man who will spend the money in &C.
quiring it.

Woman md Mouse.

1t is an old, old story to accuse
womankind OF cowardice where the
mouse is concerned. But the oft-re-
peated charge that any woman will
Immediately go into Mysteries or
spasms at the mere sight of small
sized rodent is an insult to the sex.
Some may evince their dislike OF
mice in this way, but there are notable
and conspicuous, exceptions. For ex-
ample, one woman, while engaged in
her domestic duties, encountered
mouse in the flour barrel. Now, most.
women, under similar circumstances,
would have uttered a few genuine
shrieks and then sought safety in the
garret, but this one possessed more
than the ordinary degree of genuine
courage. She summoned the man
servant and told him to get the gun,
call the dog and station himself at q
convenient distance. Then she clam
bered half way upstairs and COM
menced to punch the -four barrel with
pole. Presently the mouse made its
appearance and started across the
floor. The dog at once went in .pur-
suit. The man fired and the dog
dropped dead; the lady tainted and
fell downstairs, and the man, think
ing that she was killed and fearing
that he would be arrested for the MUIR
der, disappeared and has not been
seen since. The mouse escaped

Rhnid Milking.

1t is d common mistake to suppose
that the faster COW is milked the
better is the milk product drawn from
the udder. It is certainly notso Until
practice has beeh acquired, and the
muscles Of the hand have been trained
SO that the teats may be compressed
gently and without apparent effort.
The pulling and hauling of teats which
the beginner usually makes worries
the COW, and often causes her to hold
up the milk SO that no one can rapidly
draw it. AS a rule COWS should be
milked always by the same person. If
change is made the COW at once dis
covers it, and makes the milking
harder. The operation of milking, if
gently performed; is q pleasure to the
COW. This pleasure promotes milk
secretion, SO that it is not an absurdity
to say that q good milker will. get
more milk from n COW at the
same milking than an unskillful one
could get, though each secured all
that the udder would afford to him or
her. The change from otie milker to
another is never made without some
loss. Therefore where large herd
of COWS have to be MIXED, and several
mixers are employed, each mixer
should have assigned to him the COWS
he shall milk, instead Of milking one
OF another indiscriminately. The COW
will discriminate even if the mixer
does not.
