EARTHQUAKE INSTRUMENTS.
Accuracy with which They Record
UpheRyaIs.

Late in June last year we learned
from our newspapers that great dis
aster had taken place in North Japan,
and that nearly 10000 people had lost
their lives. Seismograms taken In
the Isle of Wight not only indicated
how many maxima Of motion had taken
place, but showed that there had been
an error in transmission of two days,
the catastrophe having taken place on
the evening of June IS, so that all who
were to reach the stricken district after
that date were in safety.
On August 81 of the same year the
Isle Of Wight records showed that a dis
turbance similar to that which oc-
Cured in Japan had taken place. On
account of this similarity, it was stated
that we would probably hear of great
earthquake having taken place in or
near that country on the above date at
6:07 p. m. Four weeks later this was
verified by mail. Another instance oc-
Cured some weeks later, when our
newspapers announced that a great
earthquake had taken place and several
thousand lives had been lost in Kobe
No doubt those who had friends and
property in that city were filled with
anxiety. On this occasion the Isle Of
Wight instruments were still indicat-
ing that nothing of the magnitude de-
scribed could have occurred. Later IL
was discovered that the telegram was
devoid of all foundation.-Geographic.

LIVELY RUSSIAN GAME.
II Has an UnpronOunceable Name, Hut
1t Looks Like Our "Tip Cat"

p. Kitty Kondacheff writes of Some
Russian Games" in st. Nicholas. One
of them, bearing the name "Tchijick,"
is thus described:
The game is like your game "tip
cat" The word Tchijick, properly
translated, means "finch;" and whether
the game is so called on account of the
constant hopping of one of the players,
or from the way in which the wooden
"cone" is made to jump up and fly, is
not known. The players may amount
to any number, but five or six is the best
combination, so as not to keep the
others waiting too long while the
striker" and hopper" as l will call
them, are at work. A circle of about six
feet in diameter is traced on the ground,
in the center of which is deposited the
so-called tchijick, or finch, round stick
of wood, six inches long, having each
end shaped something like cone. 1t
is either placed across a small hollow
in the ground, or with one end resting
on bit of stick or stone an inch or two
high.
The players, armed with short, stout
sticks, then draw lots so as TO determine
by chance who is TO begin the first serv
ice, and who is to do the hopping; the
others range themselves in order
around the circle, the striker taking his
place near the finch. The signal given,
the striker serves the fnch-that is, he
gives II smart rap with his stick over
one end, so as to make it jump high up
and while in midair follows this with
one or more sharp raps, sending it as
far out of the circle as possible-the
farther the better. The hopper then
sets off, and must arrive at the exact
place where the finch falls, hopping
along on one foot. Lifting it up from
the ground, he must send ii back, with
the aid of his stick into the circle again.
If it fall on the line, it is reckoned in.
Should he fail in doing this, or in arriv-
ing safely on one foot to where the
finch lies and back TO his place again,
he remains hopper to the next service.
II, however, he passes both ordeals
safely, he takes his place among the
players again, while the striker turns
hopper, the boy next in order taking his
place.
The score is reckoned in the follow
ing way: A certain number is fixed
upon previous to beginning the game
say, 2j. Each time the striker hits the
finch he scores one. Now, good players
manage to touch II several times while
In midair, short, jerky cuts from the
wrist following swiftly on each other;
sometimes as many as five raps are
given in quick succession, the striker
always remaining within the limits of
the circle. He scores the number of
raps given, and the player who first
reaches the number previously agreed
upon wins The striker is thus changed
after each service, while the hopper, I'M
Jess he has good muscles and a sure aim,
often has to go through the hopping
process during many turns, thereby
sometimes missing his own turn OF
serving. II the stakes are nuts, candy
or anything of that sort, then each boy
loses to the winner as many as are
wanting in his score to make up the 25

An Economical Empress.

The empress of China was to have
celebrated her sixtieth birthday with
great pomp and lavish expenditure OF
money in November, 1894. In conse-
quence of the war with Japan she issued
proclamation that the festivities had
been given up, because they would
seem ungracious in view of the suffer
ing caused by the war. This proclama-
tion did much to endear her to the
hearts Of her subjects. This year the
emperor decided to have the deferred
festivities on November 3, and abou,
100000 was put aside for the purpose; /;
but again the empress gave her veto,
on the ground that better use might
be made of that sum.-Chicago Inter

STOPPING A RAILWAY TRAIN.
A French Invention for Doing IL
Quickly.

Some time ago the French State rail
way gave public trial to new inven-
tion designed to effect automatically
the sto9page of trains, with a view to
prevent collisions, grade-crossing acci.
dents, etc.
The experiments took place under the
direction of NJ. Kaffas, the inventor, at
Beaulieu lie Ceudroy, near Chartres, be-
fore many railway engineers and
numerous gathering of scientists.
Those present were convinced, so stated
the published reports, that the appa-
ratus fully satisfied all claimed for it.
The point chosen for the official ex.
pertinent offered the greatest possible
danger and difficulties. 1t was on q
single track line, between Chartres and
Orleans, at the point of divergence OF
the branch running to Asnieres, and
Immediately over grade crossing.
There, at distance of $50 yards from
the station, the mechanism was placed
in position. The invention consists OF
an immense hook or catch made Of
bent iron to which, while rigidly fas-
tened to the rails, current of electrici-
ty is supplied by a wire and lever from
the station. While lying fiat, trains
pass over it readily, but when raised,

Ventriloquists are generally fond Of
joking. One of these gentry, on board
river steamboat, made friends with
the engineer, and began to talk to him.
Presently the engine began to creak,
and the engineer oiled it. In few
minutes it creaked again, and
the engineer doctored it again. Twice
more The engine squeaked, and the man
began to smell rat. Pretty soon there
was another squeak, when, slipping
up behind the ventrloquist, the en-
gineer squirted about half pint of oil
down hi. back, and then said, gravely:
"There! guess that crank won't
squeak any more!"

AN EMPERoR'S DIETARY.
Description of Francis Joseph's Fooa
and Kitchen.


The emperor of Austria is pious
Catholic who keeps as strictly on his
fasts as he does on his early rising. On
such days he abjures all meat and con-
tents himself with fish-a dish that,
like mutton, is a rarity in Vienna-and
various kinds of omelettes. His
majesty takes his fish preferably
with buttered potatoes. His cuisine
is peculiarly Viennese, and it is only at
court and state dinners that the French
menu has any chance. The Vienna
kitchen is closely allied to the Ger
man in the simplicity and want Of VA
riety in the dishes, and by the "done-to-
death" character of the meats, but is
decidedly more tasty and inventive,
"Kaiserschmarrn" and the dumpling-
like "Knodel" having n worldwide ce-
lebrity. His majesty, like his subjects,
prefers large helpngs at the sacrifice
of variety, and has particular weak
ness for dainty sort called Frank
forter NIT Kreu." 1t may be called his
specially.
In summer the so-Galled second
breakfast is omitted and the emperor
contents himself with the five o'clock
breakfast, consisting of cup Of coffee
and little "kalte Auhage" (sliced cold
sausage, ham, etc.) His majesty sticks
to his desk for the next seven hours
with scarcely an interruption. At noon
comes the luncheon, or "Gabel-fruh-
stuck" consisting of a soup and slice
of roast. At half-past two is dinner
of six courses, comprising soup, fish,
two roasts, pudding and dessert. His
majesty likes beer, but partakes of both
beer and wine very sparingly, although
the wine is changed for each cover,
Liquors are also served. The emperor
drinks preferably dark Bavarian beer;
half a pint is his quantum. When he
has risen from the table Kaiser Franz
Joseph has finished his eating for the
day and touches nothing more, even
when in the evening he attends thea.
ter. He is in bed by nine o'clock, and
TO his regular, moderate life he owes
undoubtedly his longevity and splen.
did health and spirits.
That is how the emperor lives in win
ter, but the arrangements must neces.
sarily undergo alteration on every oc'
casion when a state function takes
place. Then the splendor and lavish
ness Of the imperial table knows no linn
Its, and the fifteen covers hide titbits
from every nationality, according to
the tastes Of the guests. But his majes.
ty Is only at home when his table is
laden with the simple fare of his loyal

ly compels the purchase Of these
abroad. The wines are mostly Austri
an or Hungarian, but also include Bur
gundies, Moselle, and Rhine wines, and
Spanish sorts and champagne.
Next year at the jubilee exhibition
the emperor intends to have the dishes
cooked in the imperial kitchens and solo
in the exhibition grounds. The public
will thus, "for a consideration" be abll
to enjoy the piquant crumbs tha
fall from his majesty's table ant
sip the wines from. the royal cellars
The proceeds will go to charitable pur

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE HOME FAIRY.

There's a funny little fairy
on his rounds by night and day,
And he goes about his errand
In very funny way.
Such a tiny wand so starry,
Bears he In his tiny hand,
And he visits every mansion,
Every cottage in the land,
Then he looks, up In our faces,
With a quaint and quiz2lng eye,
When he finds them dark and frowning,
on he goes without good-by
But II sunny smiles and dmples
Meet his glance, to work he goes,
And before body knows It,
Pop! he jumps astride our nose.
To our ears he creeps and whispers
Many sweet and lovely things.
In our eyes he scatters sunshine
From his pretty diamond wings.
Then he smooths away our wrinkles
With the dazzling wand he bears,
While he sings song. so CHEEKY.
That he lightens all our cares,
Oh. his task is never ended
TIL the world in slumber lies!
Even then we dream so swsetly,
With his sunshine in our eyes.
Has he met you on his journey?
Listen while his name tell,
He's the merry sprite Good Nature"
And | hope you know him well.
