In the Year 5000.

It was-a very different meal from q
Victorian breakfast. The rude masses
of bread needing to be carved and
smeared over with animal rat before
they could be made palatable, the still
recognizable fragments Of recently
killed animals, hideOusly charred and
hacked, the eggs torn ruthlessly from
beneath some protesting hen-such
things as these, though they constitut-
ed the ordinary fare of Victorian times,
would have awakened only horror and
disgust in the refined minds Of the peo-
pie of these latter days.
Instead We're pastes and cakes OF
agreeable and variegnted design, with
out any suggestion In color or form OF
the unfortunate animals from which
their substance and juices were de-
rived. They appeared on little dishes
sliding out upon rail from little box
at one side of the table.
The surface of the table, to Judge by
touch and eye, would have appeared to
cred with fine, white damask, but this
was really an oxidlzed metallic sur
face and could be cleaned instantly
after meal. There were hundreds Of
such little tables in the hall, and at
most Of them were other latter day citi-
zens, singly or In groups And as
Mwres seated himself before his ele-
CANT repast the invisible orchestra,
which had been resting during an in
terval, resumed and filled the air with
music.-Pall Mall Magazine.

Wonders of the Steam Engine.

The nice adjustment necessary in the
various parts Of the immense engines
now employed for some Of the trains
on our great railway lines may be indi-
Gated by few data Of the work per-
formed by these parts when the loco
motive is worked at high speed. Thus,
in the case Of a passenger engine at 60
miles an hour, driving wheel OF 51a
feet diameter revolves five times ev-
cry second, and, this being so, the re-
ciprocating parts Of each cylinder, in
Guiding one piston rod, crosshead and
connecting rod, weighing about $50
pounds, must move back and forth q
distance equal to the stroke, say 2
feet, every time the wheel revolves, or
in the fifth Of second; this weight
starts from a state Of rest at the end
Of each stroke of the piston and must
acquire a velocity of 80 feet per second
in one-twentieth Of a second, and must
be brought to state Of rest In the
same period Of time. A piston IS inch
es in diameter has an area Of 25411a
square inches; steam Of $50 pounds
pressure per square inch would there
fore exert a force on the piston equal
to 3S,175 pounds, which force is ap-
piled alternately on each side of the
piston ten times In second.-Chicago

years ago, and l bought 1t from the
last tenant"
"All the same" reiterated the friend,
II can swear a woman planned 1t, for
l never saw such a lot Of useless win
dows and doors. If that woman ever
dies, and her heirs want to break the
will, alleging insanity, they would only
have to bring the jury to this house to
get verdict in their favor" 1t after

During the day every one should
take few minutes sleep, preferably
directly after the noon meal" writes
Edward B. Warman In The Ladies'
Home Journal. "The time given to it
may seem tor precious for one in bust
ness, but it II be more than compen-
stated for by the mental and bodily
condition that follows. Sit in an easy
chair. Lying down directly after q
meal crowds the digestive organs and
makes ones sleep restless instead of
restful Rest the head comfortably.
Tip the chair to pleasant angle for
the body, not enough to have the
weight Of the body on the back.
Place the feet on a chair as high or n
trife higher than the one upon which
you are sitting; cross the limbs at tho
ankle joints, close the hands together
by interlacing the fingers, place the
feshy part Of the thumbs together in
order to avoid grasping the hands too
tightly and close the eyes. Having
thus closed the circuit, 1t will be nee
essary to relieve yourself of all nerv-
Gus and muscular tension. Think only
of your slow, measured breathing and
the desire for restful Sleep"
