Tom Reeds Double.

Tom Reed has double. The General

Boston in the smoking compartment of
the Bay State Limited. Enter the dou-
BILE. He sat opposite, smoked good
cigar, and when we ordered refresh
ment followed suit. At New Haven
he inquired, What place is this, sirF'
/ told him, and the conversation was
Started-as usual under such circum-
stances. When we had gotten warmed
together | said that he reminded me of
an Old friend. He laughed. You mean
Speaker Reed?" he said. II have never
met him. The other day visited Wash
ington and was arrested in Pennsyl-
vania avenue by man who took me
by the hand and exclaimed: Why, how
are you, Mr.. Speaker? When did you
get back? | informed him that he had
made a mistake; that | was not the
Speaker. Oh you can't fool me, Tom,
he continued. What's the matter? Up
to some quiet game? | had the hardest
Kind of work convincing him | was not
Mr.. Reed. Since coming East | have
had scores of people to point me out

BOttle-Making Machinery.

NJ. Leon Appert, q French inventor,
was the first to introduce the use of
compressed air for blowing bottles,
thereby affording a means of replacing
the usual method of blowing them by
the mouth. This practice has a very
injurious effect on the lungs of the
glassblowers, and the great heat to
which they are necessarily subjected
intensifies the evil. The use of mechan-
ically driven air is now combined with
other cOntrivances. The quantity Of
fused glass necessary to form a bottle
is poured into an iron mould, and is dis
tributed by a rotating piece over the
sides, the formation of the bottle being
assisted by a current of compressed
air. After withdrawal from the mould
the bottle only requires annealing to
be ready for use Machines have been
constructed which can turn out twenty
bottles minute, and there is no doubt
that higher speed than this will be
reached in the future

Consumption Among Soldiers

According to recent government sta
tistics, the French army is in a highly
unfavorable condition from hygienic
standpoint. The general mortality of
the army increases year by year. In
1895 it was 6.S5 per 1000 soldiers.
Since the epidemic in 1899 each year
the army goes through a similar epi-
demic. A large number of the soldiers
die from lung troubles, the rate stead
lily rising. This condition is attributed
to the unsanitary condition of the bar
racks, the habit of drinking absinthe
and the smoking Of cigarettes, all Of
which have tendency to produce con-
sumption, although the soldiers live in
the open air and have plenty of exer-
cise.-Philadelphia Record.

German 1it-Rits.

The Germans have some strange arti-
cles of food. They are very fond Of
raw herrings, and regard raw ham and
raw smoked beef as great delicacies.
Some of their soups are odd, too. Beer
soup, wine soup, milk soup, buttermilk
soup, and even ounce soup are con-
sumed with great relish by the honest
Teuton. Some of these soups are, in
deed, very good; others are more Curl
Gus than pleasant. A favorite dish of
theirs is veal in stewed prunes. Their
"blackbread" is something like our
whole-meal bread; but it is much
5rowner, and has peculiar acid taste
which is all its own. and to which a
Briton's taste is not easily reconciled.
But what would the afternoon callers
of a lady in these countries think, If
she were TO give them a little rum or
brandy with their tea? Yet this is
what German ladies do. and they have
good excuse for doing SO. Tea, as
made in Germany, is SO wretchedly
understanding the "sky-blue" IA
miliar to schoolboys-that it needs
strengthening.

Making n Bean Hole,

"The first thing we did when our regi-
ment went into camp" said the cap
tain, "was to make bean hole. Yes,
bean hole. l was in n cavalry regi-
ment from Maine and we did not serve
rations In cheap clearinghouse style
AS soon as we were fairly settled in
camp some of the boys dug a trench
and others looked up fiat stones or
brick. We lined the sides, ends, and
bottom of the hole with the fiat stones,
built fire of rails and green wood in
the hole and let it burn down to a bed
of ashes and Goals.
I'm the meantime the beans and pork
had been par-boiled in the camp kettles
in the ordinary way. AS soon as the
fire in the bean hole had burned to the
right stage, the ashes and Goals were
shoveled out, the camp kettles, filed
with par-boiled beans, were placed in a
row in the not trench, ashes and Goals
were packed about them and the top
covered with green wood and wet
earth. The kettles We're left there for
ten or twelve hours, and when taken
out the boys had as good baked beans
as were ever served in New England.
THE Third Wisconsin Cavalry was
in our department and frequently oc-
cupied our camps after we had moved
forward. The stone-lined trenches We're
at first Il great mystery to the Western
boys, and they laughed at us for wall
ing up, what they called, our dish-water
tanks, but when they tasted the beans
that were baked in these Yankee ovens,
they put the bean holes to good use.
AS a rule, the men of a cavalry regi-
ment were resourceful when it came to
providing themselves or their horses
with eatables. as well as when n bridge
or railroad was to be destroyed. Chi

A Welshman who IVES in London a

told the Scotland Yard people about it.
They said they would leave no stone

The other day the Welshman went
up again 10 London; he saw street after
street turned up, and was told that in
all thirty-six miles of roads were In the

the watch by Sunday l wouldn't break
up any more."-Scottish Leader.

Ancient lnkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in
use three thousand four hundred years
ago has been lately acquired by a mu-
scum in Berlin. 1t is of Egyptian
make, and is supposed to belong TO
the eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty,
or somewhere about 1900 B. c., al
though its real age can only be judged
of approximately.
1t is made of wood and has two com
partments, an upper one provided with
two holes, one for black and one for
red ink, and lower one for holding
reed pens. The black and the red ink
are certainties, for some still remains,
in dry condition, within the recep-
tacles.
Another ancient inkstand Is sup
posed to have been intended for the
use of schoolboy. 1t would certainly
hold ink enough for schOolboy's 8
needs, for it has no fewer than four
ink-holes. Both ink-stands We're found
at Thebes.-Youth's Companion.

Electric Railroads in Vermont.

1t has been assumed that all of the pos
sibiliues with reference to the building of
profitable electric railroads in this State
were exhausted, but such is not the case.
Tho beginning of operations on the pro-
posed extension of the Rutland railroad
through the islands TO connect with the
Ogdcnsburg road has served to revive in
tcrcst in the project to construct an cleo
trsc railroad from st. Adams to St. Al
bans Bay in order to accommodate the
summer travel which will naturally re-
suit from the opening up of the new route,
and the establishing of ferry between
the islands and the bay.
The most ambitious project in the direc-
ton of electric railway that has yet been
projected in the State is that of n line to
be constructed between Newport and Rut-
land by way of Waterbury and the Mad
River Valley. The Montpelier Record re-
ports a resident of Warren as saying that
this undertaking has by no means been
abandoned and in view of the new ter
ritory which such a line would open up
for railway traffic it is easy to understand
why various parties should be anxious to
see the project contaminated Vermont
has an abundance of water power and
electric lines can be operated with econ
cmy in almost any part of the State.
