question. Milroy was the next to en-.

One of the most unique dinner par
ties that ever took place has just en-
ioyed a pleasant repast at Buffalo,
n. Y.
The place of dining was the low
pressure steam cylinder of triple
expansion pumping engine built for
the Chicago waterworks. Superin
tendent p. II. Kane, of the Lake Erie
Company. which constructed the en-
CINE, was the host.
The engine, for which this cylinder
was made, has a pumping capacity
Of 30,00O.000 gallons in twenty-four
hours, and the liner and casing OF the
low-pressure sylinder where the party
dined weighs $4,000 pounds, and the
cylinder heads $4,000 pounds each.
The fly wheels of this engine are
twenty feet in diameter and each
weighs forty-four tons.
This queerest of dinner parties
lacked nothing in point of service
There were twelve courses, and the
menu was of a nature to charm.
The only popularity was in the
surrounding, and it is safe to say
that in all the socia lside of the his
tory o fmechanics there has never be-
fore been known such an event.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

II you would forever be rid Of
the aches and pains, and some.
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who Con.
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is II
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.

all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can net

WHEN PLANTS SLEEP.
they Have Various Hours, but All
Take q Rest.

! The mimosa goes to sleep wher
night comes on. or even a dark clout
passing over the sun will cause it
leaves to fold up and the stalk tt
sink down, and, in fact. the whole
plant goes to sleep. In going to sleeI
the mimosa is not, however, at al
singular, many species of plants clos
ing their leaves and flowers at night
On the other hand. says the Gentle
mans Magazine, there are somt
which, like the beasts of the forest
hail the setting sun as a signal fol-
activity. This sleep of plants, whicl
is the same physiologically as ami
NAL sleep, does not exist without rea
son. The art of sleeping is, in the
higher animals, sympiomatic of re.
pose in the brain and nervous sys.
TEN, and the fact of plants sleeping
Is one proof of the existence of a
nervous system in the members OF
the vegetable kingdom.
Plants sleep at various hours, and
not always at night. The duration Of
plant sleep varies from 10 to IS hours
Light and heat have little to do with
plants sleeping, as different species
go to sleep at different hours of the
day. Thus the common morning
glory opens at dawn, the Star OF
Bethlehem about 10 o'clock, the ice
plant at noon. The goats beard,
which opens ait sunrise, closes at mid
day, and for this reason is called
"Go-to-begl-at-noon." The flowers of
the evening primrose and of the thorn
apple open at sunset, and those of the

Aquatic flowers open and close with
the greatest regularity. The white
water lilly closes its flower at sun
set and sinks below the water for
The night; in the morning the petals

Far .ne Pleasure as others

It is the desire and effort to con- tribute to the happiness of others that makes Christmas the most delightful of all our holidays. Children. at first, per haps, think most of the gifts that they may receive, but every wise parent teaches the child to be a giver as well as receiver, and to find the deeper joy of the Christmas time in doing some thing for the pleasure for some one else. The maxim: Ut is more blessed to give than to receive" is one of those beautiful statements that it is easy to approve. but one never knows how true 1t IS until he finds it verified in expert ence. Then new fountain of joy opens in the heart and new way of life is disclosed We often make the mistake of thinking that giving con- sists in the bestowal of some material thing. But it really consists in devo- tion to another of what we have; it may be money or time or skill or thoughtfulness or patience There is no one so poor that he cannot give something. That is the real joy of Christmas time. If we carried the Christmas spirit into all the days of the year we should make life infinitely sweeter and happier.-B Boston Watch man.
