 A sailors Ora titude.

Edward McGarry, the sailor of the Resolute who was pardoned from Portsmouth jail by Gov Rollins, where he was serving a six months sentence for disorderly conduct, has gone home to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester (N. H. Union. Before leaving he made fTa,l q piece of the aft rail of the United States steamship Maine 8 paper weight, which Lawyer John II. Bartlet, who was his counsel, has for warded to Gov Rollins The design was suggested by MeGarry. The top bears the inscription. Edward Mc- Garry to Gov. Rollins" while on the reverse is neatly engraved, Made from the aft rail of the L. s. Maine.
 McGarry is an artist as well as q sailor and mas drawn sketch of an other paper weight which he is to have made. When speaking of it he said: T wanted to show my apprecia- ton of wh9t your governor did for me. The metal of which that paper weight is made came from the United States steamship Maine, now in Ha- vana harbor. 1 took it from the wreck myself, with a view of having a large paper weight made to present to the governor of Maine This little token which I am now having made to send to Gov. Rollins is hurried af- fair. I am going to give him better one. Here is picture of it which I have designed. You see, the base is to represent a rough rock, typical of sailor. On the top you see a sailors hat, with the band IL s. s. Resolute upon it, while upon the top of the hat you see a pair of handeuffs, the con meeting link of which has been cut in two by quill pen"
 The whole affair will weigh nearly a pound and a half and engraved upon a little tablet on the face of the roch will be the words, Gov. Rollins freed a sailor of the besolute"
 On the bottom of the weight will be engraved: Presented to Gov. F. W. Rollins in remembrance of the kind ness shown Edward Mc6arry of the U. s. 5. Resolute"

Grow Most at Night.

1t is a curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement.
 Measure vine at night. then meas ure 1t again in the morning and the next night, and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day.
 During the day the plant Is very busy gathering nourishment from va- rious sources. and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life.
 The same fact Is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night.
 In the day time. while the child is awake and active, the system is kept busy disposing of the wastes conse- quent on this activity; but during slee9 the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn-out particles hence the rapid growth.

High Price for stralghtness.

One of the difficult problems in oEae- tieaI mechanics is to make q straight edge How difficult it is may be judged from an incident which oe- cured in the shops of j. <. Bfashear. the astronomical instrument-maker. A customer asked MT. Brashear what would be the price Of sa perfect straight-edge of glass thirty-six inches long. Tt can't be made absolutely perfect. said Mr. Brasnear. but it could probably be made with a limit of error amounting 10 cnly a fraction of waVe=length of light How much would that cost?" About forty thousand dollarst' 1t turned out that the customer wanted the straight-edge for q scraper. and that an error of one sixty-fourth of an inch would have been insensible for his purpose.
 The Taxamtter Success.
 The statement is confidently made that the taxameter, OF cab-fare indi. cator, will quickly be Introduced ia all the civilized cities of the world H appears that in both Berlin and Lon- don. where the taXameter has been adopted it has been as popular with the "cabbv" as with the fare The reason of this surprising fact is that this system of automatic fare indica, tion effectively and permanently in creases the number of fares Many persons object to ride in cabs because of the possibility of an altereation with the driver as to the amount of the fare when the trip is ended. Ali that is put at an end by the taxame- ter, which shows, in plain sight, the distance trayersed and the fare to be paid. Consequently more persons are riding in cabs today than ever rode before, and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent. The taxameter also enables the pro- prietor to control and check the daily receipts and efficiency of the vehicle or the distance covered by it. More over, since the apparatus calculates the fare on the. basis Of the distance covered, the driver earns his money quicker according to the rate at which he drives, system equally profitable and agreeable to both passenger and driver It is said that the cab pro prietor who has once introduced the fare indicator can and may no longer conduct his business without it. In Berlin where the taxameter infrodnc- sion at first was strongly opposed by masters and men, 5,5OO of the city's $500 hrst-elass cabs are now fitted with them. The cab proprietors pay $l.25 month for each instrumant

 In desperation, he smeared tar all over the roof one day. and the boy were temporarily baked, but before they had decided upon a plan for cir eumventing the colonel it chanced thas a teamster, in driving through the al- ley one hot afternoon, lighted his pipe and earelessly threw the match up oa eiiC lpb DL Lilt pftl H.
