"Old Silver Belly"

General de Gallifet, minister of war
in the WsIdeck- Rousseau cabinet, glo-
ries in the possession Of a nickname
which is literally descriptive. He is
called 'sOld Silver Belly" because the
wall of his abdomen actually consists
of a plate Of pure silver. While serv-
ing with the French troops in Mexico
General de Gallifet was nearly disem-
boweled by a shell at the siege of Pu-
eblo. By superhuman effort he sue
ceeded in holding his entrails in place
until help came, and.lateT he was sent
to France and sewed up in a leather
coat (his "eage" as he called itl, which
rendered it impossible for him to make
the slightest movement. When his
frightful wound had healed silver
plate was cunningly fashioned To serve
him as an artificial abdomen. This in
jury, which would have been sufficient
to invalid~te an ordinary man, did not
prevent him from serving through the
war with Germany and leading des-
perate charge at Sedan, nor from saving
Paris from the commune when peace
had been restored and the republic pro-
claimed.
A soldier of the caliber of General de
Gallifet is not likely to be intimidated
by Mercier, de Pellieux or Gonse,
or any other of the routine-made gen.
erals Of the war Office bureau. His first
command of attention. to the French
army has been followed by unusual ST.
lenee in the ranks.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

Emeralds From Egypt.

An English syndicate has obtained
from the Egyptian government the right
to mine for precious stones on the coast
Of the Red sea for the next five years
and the syndicate expects to make
great deal OF money. for the country is
famous for its emeralds.
In Cleopatra's day the emerald was
royal stone and her jewels were world
famous. 1t was her custom to give for
eign ambassadors her portrait cut on a
large emerald. Egypt has been de-
seribed as the country Of fair emeralds.
Two mining centres are best known,
those Of Siksli and those of Jebel
Abbara.
Besides emeralds, semi precious
stones, such as beryl, are found, but
there are no diamonds, rubies and
sapphires; the formation of the soil
and rocks is not favorable to them.
AS the emeralds now come in the ore
from Egypt they are dull and pale, but
that is because some of them have been
lying in the hot Egyptian sun for q
thousand years or so and have been
faded. Skillful treatment, however, at
the hands of the jewellers restores the
beautiful green fire.

Preserving Surplus Summer Butter.

The following plan, recommended by
a writer in the American AgIieulturist,
has been used for years with success
Wrap each lump of butter by itself in
a clean and moistened piece of thin
muslin, and then pack in stone jars.
Tubs will do if perfectly sweet and not
leaky. Keep the butter covered with a
clear brine made by bringing TO boiling
point and holding for some minutes in
a solution of salt in water. 1t should
be made Of good butter salt, free from
odor, and pure water, and the solution
should be saturated. i. e., there should
be as much salt added as will dissolve.
After boiling slightly for eight or ten
minutes, set in a cool place, and when
thoroughly cooled the brine may be
poured over the butter. Be sure to
keep the butter well under the brine by
means of a slight weight placed on top
of it. If the butter is allowed to float
it will come in contact with air and be
injured. The boiling removes the air
from. the brine and destroys the fer
ments which may be present in the
salt or water. Keep the jars covered
and on the bottom of the cellar OF other
cool place. If tubs are used, put them
on board or a stone to prevent the
hoops rotting off. II ought to be un-
derstood that butter for long keeping
must have the buttermilk very thor
oughly removed at the time it is made.
Treated in the manner indicated, there
should be no difficulty in preserving
the summer butter surplus for the fol-
lowing winter and spring consumption.

She Smokes in the Street.

Since the beginning of the summer
season, writes the Washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, resi-
dents in the vicinity of the Mexican
Embassy have been surprised to see a
beautiful young woman emerge from
the Embassy smoking q cigarette. She
dresses in light summer attire, and is
invariably attended by an escort.
During her walk she continues to
smoke, and seems entirely unconscious
OF the attention attracted, and goes
through all the graceful manipulations
of the cigarette in fascinating man
ner. Her escort does not smoke, but
devotes all his attention to the fair
daughter Of the land of the cactus. The
woman is Sonora Perez, the widowed
daughter of the Mexican Ambassador
and Sonora Aspiroz, and her escort is
her eldest brother. The cigarettes Sem
ora Perez smokes are the product Of
Mexico, and her way of smoking them
is so distinctly Mexican that no one
could possibly object to il.

Character Not Good.

In some rural districts of England
there are held annually hiring fairs,
where farmers and others attend to en-
gage servants. At one held in Glou-
eestershire last autumn farmer open
ed negotiations with a lad who seemed
suitable for his purpose. Various ques-
tions having been asked and answered,
the farmer inquired st last:
''Hast got a character from thy last
placer
''No," replied the boy, "but my old
gaffer be about somewhere, and / can
get he to write / one.r
'Very WE'LL" was the reply, ethee
get it and meet here again at four
o'clock"
The time came, so did the farmer and
the boy.
s'Hast got thy eharacter?1 was the
query?" The answer came short and
sharp:
"No; but I ha' got thine, and bean't

No Law on the Case.

A small town far out West-a town
which has since risen to the dignity Of
mention on the map, but which then
consisted Of two saloons and dwell
ing-house-was much excited over the
fact that homicide was to be brought
to formal trial. The Judge was moved
to great eloquence and Indignation.
Gentlemen" he said to the crowd
which thronged his apartment over the
saloon, II was in hopes that there
wouldn't be any more killings; not be-
fore the next census was took. And
here comes this miscreant in cold blood
and whips out six-shoOter and COM

He ran his hand through his hair,

This court is adjourned for an hour.

He turned to the series of store box
es, piled one on top of another, which
made his bookcase. They contained a
set Of the Revised Statutes, which con-
stituted his entire library. When the
crowd had reassembled, he cleared his
throat and said

Reptile in the PiauO.


When Prof Raymond L. Ditmars,
who is a lecturer on ophiology, aud
connected with the board of education,
reached his home at 1866 Bathgate-ave
last evening. he found the place in an
uproar. Mary, the new servant, was
standing in front of the door and shout
ing Burglars! Polieer' as loud as she
could.
"What is the matter, Mary?" asked
the professor. "Where are the bur-
glars?"
''In the parlor, professor" said the
girl, who was thoroughly frightened.
''You had better not go in there"
The professor, who is quite an ath-
lete, took long breath and went to the
parlor door and listened. A strange
sound greeted him from within. 1t
was like the playing of piano by
ghostly fingers, ending in thump on
the lowest key.
"I have heard that noise all the aft
ernoon; the burglars must be playing
the piano." said the servant.
Professor Ditmars cautiously opened
the door and peeped in. The cover was
on the piano. Not a soul was to be
seen inside of the room. "It'sa ghost, {"
cried Mary.
Just then another strange sound came
from the piano. Professor Ditmars was
dumbfounded. He tore off the cover
from the piano and cautiously peeped
under it. Then he opened the case.
Again there came the strange sound.
Inside of the piano the professor
found water snake four feet long. II
had made its escape from a cage on the
upper floor and crawled into the piano
by way Of the pedals. When Mary
saw the snake she tainted, and now the
professor is looking for another SER
yant.-New York World.

Light From a Kite.

William A Eddy, the kite expert,
says that any boy who can fly kites
can light up an incandescent lamp with
electricity collected from the clouds.
Mr.. Eddy does it himself in very
simple way. He imposes only one con-
dition for the success ofthe experiment
II should be tried only when there is
not cloud in the sky, and it must
necessarily take place at night. The
air is full of electricity at all times, but
during cloudy weather there is apt TO
be too much for safety.
''The boy should use two.kites ( Malay
or box strung in tandem" said Mr..
Eddy, according to the New York Sun,
''and he will have to use two cables,
one of cord 10 hold the kites and one
OF wire to carry the electricity. He
will have TO have three Leyden jars,
which by the way, he can make easily
by coating some wide mOuthed bottles
inside and cut with tinfoil. This tin
foil should extend to within one-third
of the top of each bottle. Through the
cork Of each bottle should extend y
copper wire which should touch the
bottom Of the bottle inside On two
of the bottles this wire should extend
externally from the cork a couple of
inches. On the third bottle, however,
the wire should extend out of the cork
quite distance and bend over the side
of the bottle so as 10 nearly touch the
external tinfoil
"When you raise the kites far enough
in the air to get them flying steadily
this bottle should be tied to the kite
cord by piece of twine. Around the
outside of the bottle, near the bottom,
the copper wire cable should now be
tied and should be twisted about the
kite cord as the kite is allowed to go up
in the air. When about 500 feet is paid
out connect the end of this wire to one
terminal of an incandescent lamp.
This lamp should be an old one, in
which the filament is broken. Connect
plCCc VI WllC " ALC 0AAACA ~
minal and tie the other end of this
short piece of wire to the wires extend
ing out of the two Leyden jars. Tie
still another piece of wire around the
outside of these jars and connect it
with an iron stake driven into the
ground You will then be ready to
lsobf vour lan,n
"The moving of the kite cable up
and down will cause the bent wire of
the upper Leyden jar to spring against
the outside continually. This will dis
charge the jar which has become filed
with electricity from the air. The
spark will affect the jars on the ground,
and as the incandescent lamp stands
in the road the only way for the cur
rent to travel is across the broken fila
ment, in attempting to do which it
will flash out brightly. One thing l
would advise is that every boy attempts
ing it get his father or an Older brother
te help him hold in the kites. Their
pulling power becomes very great when
they are good distance up in the air."
