and headed by a platoon of police and
brokers, marched into the exchange.
They marched around the floor waving
banners and flags, and cheered for Nc
klnley and Roosevelt An immense
American flag suspended as the brokers
made their advent was the signal for
continuous cheering which was taken up
by the persons who had gathered IN the
room and the corridors The Star

other signal for long cheers, lasting for
several minutes. Ladies in the gallery
1rsnt1calIy waved handkerchief and the
long din OF cheers drowned the music
After twice marching around the floor
Marshal Brainerd led the long column
out of the exchange and the march was
begun down Beaver street The paraders
were greeted with cheers from all the
buildings along the line of march and
from the crowds that thronged the side

How Il "worked. Two M.ch,ne..

With seeming innocence that would
have done Justice to Ah Sin. the Hea-
then Chinee, Ii Hung Chang appeared
to display the greatest interest in the
sewing machines at an exhibition in
Edinburgh he visited when in Great
Britain several years ago.
His excellency's first question was
how long 1t would take for the sewing
machine at which he had sat down to
do a certain MISUNDERSTANDING con-
fusing tho mechanical stitcher with a
lady's safety ct the next stand.
Without waiting for any reply to his
query or further ceremony Ii started
sewing q little seam. Nor did he do it
badly. fact which made him seem de
lighted as a child. For some time the
viceroy continued his hemming and,
though got away at length by his ut.

next machine and insisted on working

The Cold Brick sx,ndle.

"The gold brick swindle," said a
business man quoted in the New Or
leans Times Democrat, 'is one of the
most plausible propositions ever ad-
vanced and has landed some Of the
clevcrest business men iii the country.
A number Of years ago it used to be a
common thing for banks in the west to
buy gold bricis-I mean real ones
and frequently there were the best Of
reasons for keeping the transaction
quiet
1T often happened that the owner of
some partly developed mine would
make an unexpected strike and wish
to buy the adjacent property. Natu-
rally lie would want to hold back the
news of his discovery until he secured
the land and IL he had any bullion to
dispose OF would make the sale as
quietly as possible. The banks be-
came accustomed to deals of that kind
and were consequently pretty easy
prey for the gold brick swindler who
turned up with precisely similar sto-
ry.

An Ahrrpt rropc.al.

The reported fashion Of the famous
DIR. Abernethy's courtship and maj
"iage is very characteristic. 1t Is told
that While attending lady for several
weeks he observed these admirable
qualifications in her daughter which he
truly esteemed to render the married
state happy. Accordingly OH a Satur-
day, taking leave of his patient. he ad-
dressed her to the following Iufport:
You are now so we'll that heed not

it. But in the meantime wish you

ladylike member of family. Such a
person must be all that husband
could covet. and offer my hand and
fortune for her acceptance. On Mon

termination, for really have not time

In this manner the lady was wooed
and won, and it may be added the
union was felicitous in every respect.

a STORY of whtstler.

The Boston Transcript says: "a d.
vcrting anecdote is told of the boyhood
of Mr.. Whistler, the greatest modern
impressionist. He was apprenticed to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. One day his
employer asked him If he also could
etch maps on copper. oh, yes. can
etch,' promptly answered young Whis-
tier.
"As matter of fact he had never
used an etching needle in his life
However, they gave him the copper,
and he set to work, making very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges of the plate. which when bitten
In With acid are always stopped out. he
etched solue characteristic little sketch
es of the different members OF the
firm. including very humorous one OF
the chief himself.
Shortly after he happened to go
away for q week or two for his holi-
day Meantime the plate had been
bitten in aid printed with all of the
dreadful little caricaturcs that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
Ting prominence, the sketch of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause of its great resemblance to that
gentleman. who was so enragcd at the
indignity of the thing that Immediately
on Whistler's return he dismissed

,,.,minG Down With a Parachute.

Coming down from the clouds In q

Gus balloon artist. Ever dream Of
falling from high place? You come
down, alight quietly and awake, and
you're not hurt. Well, that's the para
chute drop over again. No: there is no
danger. a parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip, but you can't
steer a balloon. To guide parachute
out Of harms way practiced hand
can tilt it one way or the other, spill
out air and thus work it to where you
want to land or to avoid water, trees,
chimneys or church spires.
"Circus ascensions are generally
made III the evening. When the sun
goes down, the wind goes down. The
balloon then shoots into the air, and
the parachute drops back on the circus
lot or not far away.
"a balloon is made of cent muslin
and weighs about 500 pounds. A para
chute is made of 8 cent muslin. The
rope that secures the parachute is cut
with knife. The aeronaut drops
fully 100 feet before the parachute be-
gins to fill. 1t must fill If you're up
high enough. Invariably the fall is
head first. When the parachute be-
gins to fill, the descent Is less rapid,
and finally when the parachute has
finally filled it bulges out with pop.
Then the aeronaut climbs on to his ira
peze and guides the parachute to safe
landing. In seven cases out of ten you
can land back on the lot where you
started from."-New York News.

The old man spit through his teeth,

"Now, the most inexplicable thing in

The Magic Lantern.

How many Of us while using magic
lanterns have wondered how they were
first made? Indeed they are Of very
respectable antiquity. AS early us the
seventeenth century Jesuit named
kircher constructed one. 1t was q
very crude affair, and as he was not
unwilling to excite the fears Of the
persons who witnessed his exhibitions
he called it a magic lantern, and 80
1t has always been called.
There are reasons to believe that the
lantern was in use even earlier than
the seventeenth century and that the
mysterious figures which the old as.
trologers produced in the smoke of
their mystic fires were produced in the
same way as Kircher produced his, the
smoke hiding the lantern.
