A new story is going the rounds at
the expense of d well-known scientist
OF Philadelphia, says the Record who
has made a speciality of the study of
physics, and whose inventions are
known from one end of the country to
the other. 1t seems that he recently
purchased barrel of pippin cider, and
had it sent up to his residence, where
he proceeded to tap it. The spigot
used was in good working order, but
for some reason unknown to the scien-
tific man the cider refused to flow.
He tilted the barrel up, poked wires
through the open spigot to make sure
it was ali right, and pottered around
for a couple of hours without satisfac-
tory results. Then he gave up the job
in disgust and sent for the man from
whom he had bought the apple juice.
"This Internal cider must be as thick
as PASTE" he said, when the expert
arrived. 81 can't get a drop of it to

a Brief Consideration of Matches
from His Point of View.
"'There is this to be said in favor Of
the sulphur match" said the retired
burglar, reports the New York Sun,
Its odor is decidedly against it. More
than once, when l have struck a sui
phur match in the hall, / have heard
some light sleeper, when the pungent
fumes of the sulphur permeated the at
mosphere, turn in bed in the adjacent
room.
ST stuck to sulphur matches for
long Internationally enough, 1 sup
pose-but finally came to use parlor
matches altogether. They are noisy,
but odorless, and it may be possible
to scratch them when teams are pass
ing, or when the wind is blowing, or
there is some other noise abroad. AT
any rate I came to prefer, from expert
ence, the noisy, odorless match to the
silent sulphur.
80 course the ideal match for any
body In my business would be one that
should be both silent and odorless. It
is a wonder to me that nobody has in
vented such a match; it is greatly need
ed, and should say that it would be
comparatively easy of invention. Now
that [ have retired, maybe will devote
myself to the invention of such match
and to do something TO promote the in
terests of an arduous and none too re-
munerative calling"

PROVING HIS POINT,
How the Mesmerist Convinced Hi
Audience of His Power.


Audience of His Power.
Several prominent people were talk
ing together recently in the billiard
room of the principal hotel in a large
provincial town in the north when a
well-known conjurer and mesmerist
came to see if the bill poster had left
any Of his programmes, says the Scot
fish Nights. Two or three gentlemen
began to poke fun at the professor and
intimated that there was some trickery
in his performance.
Finally the p2esmeric professor stood
upon his dignity and offered to give a
free exhibition of his skill then and
there. He said that he would SO place
one of the party when under his in1u-
ence that when he had caused the sub
ject to grasp his own nose he could not
leave the room without taking his
fingers from his nose.
The wager was accepted and one OF
the party, an alderman, gave himself
up to the influence of the mesmerist,
who placed him by the side of an iron
column at the end of the room, told him
to close his eyes, and made a few passes
over his face. He then took the alder
mans arm, brought it round the col
umn and put his nose between his
fingers. After few more passes the
professor said:
''Now, sir, you cannot leave the room
without taking your finger from your
nose"
The victim opened his eyes and al
once saw the point of the joke.

TRYING A PEW,
Some Women Make Practice of This
and Keep 1t Up.

and Keep 1t Up.
Zone of the things we have to con-
tend WITH said trustee of promin-
ent church, lis the woman who wants
to try pew before renting it. Now,
we have no desire to force anyone to sit
where she does not want to, or still
more to sit in an undesirable pew, and
we are always willing that newcomer
should test for herself the desirabilitv
OF any pew before she decides to rent
it. But when it comes to half a dozen
tests of the same pew, only to declare
that she doesn't like it, and followed
by half dozen more tests, each of half
a dozen different locations, il is tire
some, to say the least, and one becomes
suspicious of the woman's intentions.
Yet that is what, well-more women
than [ should care to name make a
practice Of doing. They will come here,
and with the greatest show of interest
and enthusiasm will consult with one
in authority about taking pew. Be
fore deciding upon one they wish to
try it, however. and by the process
above described they go on and try
others. Such women sometimes sue
ceed in thus getting free sitting in the
church for a whole year.

THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An Officer with Vast Responsibilities
for Which He Seldom Gets Credit.

An officer with Vast Responsibilities
for Which He Seldom Gets Credit.
From the time, less than 80 years ago.
when the first steam vessel crossed the
Atlantic the evolution Of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is the
one class of marine craftsman that.
above all others, has kept pace with
the Developments Of this fast speeding
age, and he stands to-day the most fin
ished product Of century that has
created more new types and more new
occupations than any that has preceded
it, says the Pail Mall Magazine. The
marine engineer to-day is more impor.
tant than any deck officer, but his inn
portanae is as little recognized by the
nonseafaring man as his identity is
concealed from the view Of those who
travel in ships. Down in the bowels
of the vessel, he controls not only the
propulsion, but the steering, lighting,
pumping, anchoring, ventilation of the
modern marine structure, and on the
warship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the ship are those Of the
officer of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy Is the
brain of the marine engineer. He ID
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
or that is given to those who serve
their country or their employers with
courage and devotion on the sea.
