Hungarian Gypsy MinstrcIs.

The gypsy minstrels form a caste by
themselves. Their appearance is always
more swarthy than that of other Hun
garian musicians, their dress is some
times purposely fantastic, and their
manner of life is far more Bohemian
than the most liberal minded artist
would care to W to. Every hotel and
restaurant in Budapest possesses its gyp-
sy band, and the method of payment is
as free and easy as the music itself and
their life. The hotel keeper is not
bound by any contract, but at various
intervals throughout the performance
one OF his gypsies takes a dinner plate
and goes round among the various guests
in the hall from table to table, receiving
in the plate what the latter like to put
there. The %favorite coin deposited there
is the nickel 10 kreutzer piece, answer
ing to u twopenoe. l have not often

Sailors Warned by Them of a Com
ing Storm.
While n British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze in
the south Pacific a flock of small birds
about the size, shape and color Of par
rakeets settled down in the rigging and
passed an hour or more OF resting. The
second mate was SO anxious to find out
the species to which the visiting stran.
gers belonged that he tried to entrap a
specimen, but the birds were too shy to
be thus caught and too spry to be seized
by the quick hands of the sailors. At
the end of about an hour the birds took
the briggs course and disappeared, but
toward nightfall they came back and
passed the night in the r1aintop.
The next morning the birds flew off
again, and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food about
the decks, By this time the birds had
become so tame that they hoped about
tho decks, picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing happen
I'd. Tie flock came flying swiftly to-
ward the brig, Every bird seemed to be
piping as if pursued by some little in
visible enemy on wings, and they at
once huddled down behind the deck
house. The superstitious sailors at once
oalled the captain of the brig, who rub
bed his eyes and looked at the barome-
ter A glance showed that something
was wrong with the elements, and the
brig was put in shape to outride a
storm
The storm came about 20 minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel
For a few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom of a lake-a vast arch
of yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard no
Il knows, but OIL reaching port two
days later the captain learned that's
great tornado had swept across that part
of the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm and were

THE VESSEL,
A Possible Danger of Steam Jets a.
Fire Extinguishers.


For many years steam Jets have been
considered excellent means for extin-
gushing fires in inolosed spaces, and
examples of their good services have
beer abundant. The theory of their &C.
ton of course is, like hat of the several
kinds of fire extinguishing powders
which have been proposed at different
times, that the steam in the one case
and the sitting fumes from the powders
in the other displace the air in any par
ticular space under consideration, and
with it the oxygen as we'll, by which
alone combustion can be sustained.
In at least one instance, however, the
position was taken that if the steam
Jets did not e%xtinguish a fire promptly
they soon became a source of danger,
and as such were held accountable for
the loss about a year ago of a cargo
steamer carrying several hundred tons
of coal and as many more of miscei-
laneous chemicals and old rope. Fire
broke out in one of the holds, which
were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and
the jets were at once turned on. On
the day following it was proposed to
try a hose In addition to the jets, and
one of the upper deck matches was
therefore taken off.
The almost immediate result was q
violent explosion, killing one of the
officers and seriously injuring another.
All the other patches were blown off at
the same time, and the ship began to
leak, SO that she soon had to be aban-
doned. One explanation advanced was
that the steam from the jets, passing
over the incandescent cargo, formed
water gas, which, with suitable air ad-
mixture, became explosive, with the
result noted. The theory is not a com.
forting one, but whether it portraya a
possible condition of things yet remains
to be demonstrated. -Cassier's Maya

EASY FOR MORPHY.
A Story of the Great Chess Master
and a Celebrated Painting.

On reading the notes on Paul Nor
phys visit to Philadelphia | am re.
minded of an incident in connection
with his visit to Richmond about the
same time, which was related to me
some years ago by the Rev. Mr.. II. O.
that city. l do not remember ever to
have seen it in print. Mr.. Morphy was
Mr.. HIS guest while in the city, and
on his arrival was first ushered into the
library, and his attention was at once
attracted by a painting over the man
tel, which was a fine copy of a cele-
brated painting representing a game of
chess between a young man and the
devil, the stake being the young mans
soul.
b artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game. the agony Of
despair being shown in every line of his
features and attitude, while the devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with fiendish delight. The
position of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr..
H. said he had often set it up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes, when
finally, turning to Mr.. H., he said:
II can win the game for the young
man."
MIR. H. was of course astonished and
said, els it possible?"
Mr.. Morphy replied, "Get out the
men aud board and let us look at it."
The position was set up, and in a few
rapid moves he demonstrated a complete
win for the young man, and the devil
wan oheckmated. Robert Munford in

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use OF making a better
article than your competitor II you can
not get a better price for IL?
Answer-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better. so that while u profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your a Is the best?
II both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain TO be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only h better one.
