Lost opportunitx.

The Chicago Record says that some
time ago young organist secured per-
mission to practice on the big organ in
the Auditorium. An elderly man walked
in and took a seat a few rows away
from the musician. The young organist
noticed him, and was encouraged to
"show off" and do few tricks of play
ing for his audience. He rambled on
for an hour, and the elderly man sat
there, apparently impressed. The young
man tired at last and was about to lock
the organ when the elderly man APP
preached him and said in broken English
that he wished to play for few min
utes.
"They don't allow any one but an
experienced organist to touch the in
strument, said the young man loftily.
With a little gesture, suggestive of
meekness and humility, the stranger
presented his card, "Alexandre Gull
mant, Paris.
Then it was time for the young or
ganist to swoon. He had missed the
chance of his life. For an hour he had
been entertaining the great master with
homemade drivel.

Removing Rust From Iron.

The accumulation of rust on iron ar
ticles is so annoying that any simple
process of removing it will be received
with great satisfaction by large num-
Der of persons. The following directions
are given: Attach a piece of ordinary
zinc to the articles and then let them
lie in water to which little sulphuric
acid is added. They should be left i'm
mersed for several days or week, until
the rust has entirely disappeared, the
time depending on how deeply they
were rusted If there is much rust, a
little sulphuric acid should be added
occasionally. The essential part of the
process is that the zinc must be in good
electrical contact with the iron. A good
way is to twist an iron wire tightly
around the object and connect this with
the zinc, for which remnant of bat
terry zinc is suitable, as it has binding
post.
Besides the simplicity of this process,
it has the great advantage that the iron
itself is not attacked in the least as long
as the zinc is in good electrical contact
with it. Delicate pieces of mechanism
which have become badly rusted can be
cleaned by wrapping galvanized wire
around them instead of the zinc, in
which case the acid should not be too
strong. When the rust is all cut off, the
articles will appear dark gray or black.
They must then be thoroughly washed
and oiled. 1t is we'll to warm them
slightly when dry SO that the oil may
the more easily sink iEto the surface.
Where there are sharp edges and fine
work this process is said to be eminent
ly satisfactory. New York Ledger

A Fascinating Stranger.

ga Worcester man, says the Worces-
ter Gazette, ''who makes frequent
trips to Europe fell in with fascinat-
ing stranger the last time he was across.
The stranger, who gay be designated
as Ferguson because that does not
sound at all like his real name, was an
American, his manners were those of a
gentleman, and he seemed to be we'll
supplied with money and to know a
great many people worth knowing. In
conversation with the Worcester man
one day Ferguson said: Worcester is a
charming city, and I have some very
dear friends there. Ipresume you know
Colonel E. J. Russell? He is an old and
highly esteemed friend, to whom am
deeply indebted for many favors'
"When the Worcester man returned
home, he met Colonel Russell one day
and in course of conversation remarked
that he had met man in Europe who
said that he was an old friend. Colonel
Russell thought for a moment, and then
he replied: oh, yes, remember Fer
guson very we'll! 1 ought to, for he
lived with me for seven years once. It
was when was warden of the state
prison at Charlestown, and I will say
that Ferguson was one of the quietest
and best behaved prisoners that ever
had,

a Wise Answer.

It takes but an ordinary man to re-
turn an angry answer to an insult. The
extraordinary man is he who, under
such circumstances, holds himself so
we'll under control that he controls his
adversary also.
Persia once possessed such a man
and was clear sighted enough to make
him judge. He was the chief judge of
Bagdad in the reign of Caliph Hadee.
and his name was Aboo Yusuph. He
was very wise man, for he knew his
own deficiencies and was actually
sometimes in doubt as to whether he
possessed sufficient wisdom to give a
just decision in cases peculiarly shroud-
ed in mystery.
It is related Of him that on one occa-
sion. after patient investigation Of facts,
he decided that he had not sufficient
knowledge to pronounce on the case be-
fore him. There was in his presence a
pert courtier, one of those men who
take long to learn that wisdom and i'm
pudence are not closely related
pray, do you expect that the caliph
is to pay you for ignorance?" he asked,
hoping to place the judge at disad-
vantage
81 do not" was the mild reply.
'The caliph pays me-and pays me we'll
for what do know. We're he to at
tempt to pay me for what 1 do not
know the treasures of his empire would
not suffice. Youth Companion.

Where to Garry Stamps.

6 Business men have various ways of
carrying their postage stamps said
the stamp clerk the other morning
while sitting in his chair at the stamp
window in the general postoffice GA
good many men who post their letters
here always have one or more stamps
about them. Some of them carry their
stamps in stasa1, cases, but the econom-
ical man carried his stamps under the
band Of his hat or in his pockets.
The other day young man called
for five twos, and, putting one on a
letter which he had to mail, he took
out his watch and opening the back Of
it slipped the remaining stamps into
the case. They don't stick to the cover,
and that is about the best way one can
carry stamps if he has watch. New

Queer Reckoning.

Indian street peddlers throughout
Mexico sell bananas for 10 cents a
dozen, but when offered "a cents on
payment for two dozen bananas the
peddlers refused it and demanded 25
cents. The course of reasoning is that
real is IL cents; 2 reals, 25 cents;
8 reals make dollar. So the tray
eler must pay real for one dozen ban
anas, but 25 cents for two dozen, and
no amount of argument will convince
the peddler that this is not right.

A Finished Rebuke.

Hon. George Russell, in his "Recol.

lowing story of Jewett, the famous
master of Balliol college:
''The scene was the masters own
dining room, and the moment that the
ladies had left the room one of the
guests began most outrageous CONVEX
sation. Every one sat flabbergasted.
The master WINGED with annoyance, and
then, bending down the table toward
the offender, said in his shrillest tone,
Shall we continue this conversation in
the drawing room?' and rose from his
chair. 1t was really stroke of genius
thus both to terminate and to rebuke
the improperly without violating the
decorum due from host to guest.

A rich man CHANGING to pass at that

pressed by it, SO much SO that he took
the boy into his bank and finally adopt
ed him.
Thirty years have passed and the
erstwhile poor boy is South African

have creditable exhibit. The
estimated amount required is
$4,000. The plan is to raise this
sum in small amounts by popular
subscription. The subscriber to
the fund receives a certificate
which it is proposed to ask the next
legislature to redeem, and there is
little doubt but that the certifi-
Gates will be so redeemed
next winter. Mr.. A. B. Campbell
of Wallace, is the commissioner for
Shoshone and KOotenai counties.
He has appointed Hon. S. P. Don
nelly to act in his place for Koo-
tenai. Kootenai ought to do her
share in this matter, in fact she
can not afford to neglect this OPP
portunity, and of course Bonner's
Ferry, as one of the leading and
enterprising towns IF the county,
will not be behind her neighbors in
raising fund to loan the state for
a few months. Idaho must not be
the only state not properly repre-
sented at this great exposition and
every community must "chip in
