HOrseDOwer.

Watt, the great improver Of the steam
engine, introduced into the vocabulary
of machinists the term horsepower.
When he first began the manufacture Of
steam engines, he experienced much
difficulty in ascertaining from his dis
tant customers what sized engine they
required, and they were not less puzzled
how to communicate to him the infor-
nation. He was frequently guided,
however, by their mentioning the num-
Der of horses which the engine ordered
was designed to replace. Acting upon
this hint, he ascertained by experiment
that the very strongest of the London
brewers horses (animals of wonderful
size and strength) could exert a force
equivalent to raising 33, pounds one
foot in minute This force he called
one horsepower, and adopted it as the
standard in regulating the size OF steam
engines. Now, not one horse in 100 is
able to exert that degree of strength. A
steam engine of ten horsepower can, IN
reality, do the work of about 20 horses.

than our overooats stretched on the

Ono Of Muller's Anecdotes.

Froude and Kingsley were special IA
vorites of Professor Max Muller, accord
ing to his recently published memoirs.
Kingsley's refusal to pray for rain-or,
as his friend expresses it, to degrade his
sacred office to that of a rainmaker or a
medicine man-reminds the professor
of story told to Kingsley by an Amer
lean:
In America we manage these things
better. A clergyman in village on the
frontier between two of our states pray
ed for rain. The rain came, and it soak,
ed the ground to such an extent that the
young lambs in the neighboring state
caught cold and died. An action was
brought against the clergyman for the
mischief he had done, and he and his
parishioners were condemned to pay
damages to the sheep farmers. They
never prayed for rain after that.-Lon'

A Disgusted Hero.

The story of Sergeant Walker, who
was kept prisoner,for six weeks by the
Afridis and was court martialed for
being "absent without leave" reminds
me of an Indian tale of 1857, when O
man-o' wars man, Strahan by name,
captured almost single handed one Of
the forts on the Hoogly. The fort.
which was strongly situated, was in
vested by the admiral, and Strahan,
during the time Of midday repose, wan
dered off ION his own" in its direction.
Gaining the walls without discovery,
he took it into his head to scale breach
made by the cannon of the ships, and
ON reaching the platform he flourisbed
his cutlass and fired his pistol at "the
niggurs," shouting, 1.-THE place is

The native soldiers attacked him, and

who had struggled out of camp and
heard his huzzas. The enemy, unpre-
pared from this i'll timed attack and
fearing further invaders, fled from the
fort upon the opposite side, leaving 20
cannon and large store of ammuni-
tion. Much to Strahan's surprise, he
was lectured by the admiral for his
breach of discipline, and he was dis.
missed with hints of future punish

When the skillful burglar is to do q
Job, he studies the habits of the resi-.
dent or proprietor In case in Troy a
few years ago jewelry store was rob-
bed. Apparently there was not clew.
Detectives were placed on the case and
named the thieves by the method en-
ployed in getting into the store, and
subsequently the thieves were convicted.
Certain burglars always enter a cellar
and come up through stairs, floor or
trapdoors. Others have skeleton keys.
Others so above and come down stairs.
Some break in rear and others front
doors. In the robbery above referred to
the two thieves had been in Troy three
successive Saturday nights. They had
fastened silk thread on all entrances
in such way that if any one entered
or left the store the thread would be
broken. Thus the burglars learned that
the proprietor and clerks did not visit
the store after closing Saturday night
until Sunday. The fourth Saturday
night they cracked" the safe. Except
for their methodical way of entering

attached itself to them.--Troy Times.
