A NEW DEVICE.
Slot Machine That Opens the City
Directory for "a Cent Is
Invented.

Say, give me change for a nickel,
I want to use the city directory" is
the cry that soon will be heard in
every drug store in Chicago If the
plans of young inventor are carried
out. The inventor has devised pen
ny-in-the-slot machine for directory
owners. 1t consists of boxlike ar
rangement "A penny dropped into the
mechanism opens the book, which re-
mains open as long as the hand is held
on it. The removal of the hand allows
the box to close.
The plan is for the company con-
trolling the machines to furnish the
directory and to divide the profits
with the owner of the store in. which
the device is placed. There are be-
tween 600 and 700 drug stores in the
city which have directories, and these,
1t is expected. will besthe largest pa
irons OF the proposed company. Ho-
tells, railroad ticket offices and cigar
stores also will use the invention. and
the promoters expect to reap great
harvest of coppers. One of the ma
city ticket office, and in few hours
1877 people had patronized it.
The Chicago Directory company
however. is somewhat skeptical. A
representative said that .the scheme
had been tried extensively in New
York, where it had failed through
lack of patronage. 1t was doubted II
it could be made to pay in Chicago

NO FOREIGN ORDERS.
Russia Places Contracts for Freight
!. Cars with Home Firms.
Takes This Po~ition in EquippinS
Trans-siberian Railroad because
Her Large Man ufactories Were
shutting Down.

According to the statements of a gen.
tleman representing the Russian gov
ernment, who has Just returned from
visit to St. Petersburg, American
manufacturers must not look to the
Immediate receipt of any large con-
tracts for equipment and material for
the Trans-Siberian railroad.
The gentleman referred to, who is
in close touch with the officials of the
Muscovite government, said:
"Prince Hilkoff, the Russian minister
of ways and communications, and M.
De -Witte, the finance minister, are en-
tirely opposed at the moment to send
ing heavy contracts out of the country.
This decision has been arrived at in
view of the fact that several of the
large Russian manufacturing concerns
are shutting down through lack of
work. Orders for 5000 freight cars for
the Trans Siberian road, were being
awarded Just as left the capital to
four Russian concerns that were on the
eve Of suspending operations because
of the dullness in trade, In fact, these
firms were actually in the hands of
receivers, owing to financial embar-
rassment. The cars are to be delivered
inside of one year. IAvas told by one
of the principa! engineers in the min
istry of ways and communications that
the Trans-Siberian road will require
| $4,000 cars in all. So that as contracts
for 5000 cars have been placed, as above
stated, 10000 more will be ordered.
Contracts for bridges estimated
to be worth some 100000 have just
been placed with Russian manufactur-
ers. Such proceeding was actuated
partly by the ministers policy, but it
was also found that while further fos-
tering native Industries by awarding
the contracts to Russian bridge-makers,
the latter offered additional advan-
tages, as they undertook to deliver the
material by June, whereas the best
inducement as to delivery that Ameri-
can bridge manufacturers could make
was completion of the contracts by
November next"

RELIGION OF PRESIDENTS.
Executives Were Exemplary
Church Members.

There have been no religious tests APP
piled to candidates for president of the
United States. Gen. Washington was
Il member of the Episcopal church long
before he became president and was a
commupicant. Jefferson, though ac-
cused of being an atheist, died be-
lever in Divine Being, as asserted by
his daughter and by some of his later
writings. Both the Adamses were Uni
tarians. Madison and Monroe were Epis-
copaians. jackson became Presbyte-
rian, Van Buren attended the Dutch
Reformed church, but was not MEM
ber. W. H. Harrison and Tyler were
Episcopalians. Polk never united with
any denomination, but during his pres
idency attended the Presbyterian
church. Taylor was an Episcopal at
tendant. Fillmore was a Unitarian,
Pierce Trinitarian Congregationalist,
Buchanan Presbyterian and Lincoln
and johnson attended the Presbyterian
church. Grant and Hayes went with
the Methodists, Garfield was preacher
Of the Church of the Disciples, Arthur
was an Episcopalian, Cleveland Pres
byterian church member ana President
Mckinley Il Methodist.

GREW BONES BY THOUGHT.
John Espy. of xenia, Ohio, Repre-
duces -Four Inches of Crushed
Limb.

s. w. Winter, who lives at No. POI
First avenue, Joliet, ILL.,, vouches for
q case similar to the one published in
the Chicago Inter Ocean in which Mrs.
S. V. Hughes Graham, of Chicago, told
of the growing on of finger by the
power of thought.
John Espy, of Xenia, o.. cousin of
Winters, succeeded in reproducing by
mental process four inches of bone in
the lower part of his leg between the
knee and the ankle. Some years ago
Espy was driving team of horses
hltched to an old-fashioned thrashing
machine. The horses ran away, the
machine was overturned, and Espy's
leg was caught between the wheels
and crushed to jelly. He was taken
to Xenia, o., and physicians declared
at once that the only way to save his
life was to amputate the leg at the
knee joint. Young Espy declared that
he would rather take his chances and
try to save the leg. The wounded
limb was bandaged and put in an i'm
provised swing.
At the end of six weeks the crushed
bone had worked out, leaving about
four inches of homeless, bruised flesh.
The doctors continued to insist on
amputation, but the boy and his
parents stuck to their belief that the
bones would grow in again, and
thought all the time of such miracu-
lous cure. Within three weeks from
the time the old bone came out the
netebone grew in. The leg became as
strong as ever but tritle shorter. so
that Espy walked with very slight
linn

TO SING GERMAN LULLABIEs.
Chicago Public school Children win
be Taught Simple
Ditties.

German lullabies are to be sung in
Chicago public schools. Kindergarten
and primary grade pupils are to daily
sing simple songs of Germany. as they
now sing the simple songs of English
speaking countries. The German COM
mittee of the board of education de-
cided on the innovation. Trustee JOS
eph S. Schwab said:
II believe German songs will prove
wonderful aid in the teaching of Ger
man. Our youngest pupils will become
familiar with German words. phrases
and expressions. and when they come
to take up the study of German regu-
larly they will find it compare lively
easy. In addition German children
will have the pleasure of learning the
melodies of the 'fatherland.' songs
which their parents know and love.
The plan is to introduce simple songs,
somewhat similar to those in English
now sung by the children every day
Germany is the land of music. and her
songs are well worthy to be sung every
where. &

KA1sER1N NO HOUSEWIFE.
Dinners Ordered by the EmperOr,
But the Empress Supervises
the Dressma king.

It Is a popular custom to represent
the German empress as being above all
a good "hausfrau" and one interested
in little else than household manage
ment. This tradition, says the New
York Tribune, is viewed with certain
amusement in aristocratic Berlin cir
cles. The fact is that the empress has
so little to do with the housekeeping
of the palace at Potsdah that she rele-
gates to the emperor the. daily task OF
receiving the official whose duty it is
to supervise the management OF the
royal household.
1t was the consort of the late EN-
peror Frederick, born princess royal OF
England, who first took personal charge
of the Prussian royal establishment
The greatest extravaganza and waste
prevailed before she and her practical
husband took the matter in hand and
effected sweeping reforms. Their ex-
ample is followed by the present en-
peror, who never gives the simplest din
ner party without first calculating the
exact cost per guest.
The little daughter of the emperor is
receiving a careful education in all do
mestic branches, but the empress takes
no interest in any except that of dress
making. Most of her own and her
daughters dresses are cut and made un-
der her supervision. A large staff of
needlewomen are employed, and one
French or viennese model gown is often
copied in a number of different colors
and fabrics. The empress dresses with
much elegance. but she has no particu-
lar reputation for originality.

MemopIam.

Queenie Ethel, daughter of Samuel
and Patience Meredith. was born
August 18th, 1893, and died February
9th, 1900. Not dead, but sleeping, the
frail tenement of clay vacated, the
spirit gone to brighter and more en-
during home. Her short life of si>
years was not in vain. While they
were years of suffering, they were
borne patiently. Possessed of an un-
usually sweet, loving spirit, she was a
blessing in the home. The going out
of this bright sunbeam from this home
has left lonely and saddened hearts.
Now the bright smile that ever well
coined will linger with loved ones until
they too shall pass out and all are re-
united. The father who sang the
songs, even at the midnight hour for
the little sufferer, can think of them,
but need not sing them more to soothe
the dear one. 1t satisfied while here,
but Heavenly music has touched her
ear. AS the end drew near all was
quiet. With one long, loving look at
the dear ones gathered about her, and
a clasp of her fathers hand, she fell
asleep in Jesus. All that loving hearts
and hands could do was done for her.
but she was transplanted, and in her
going Heaven has but claimed its own.
Could she speak Ito father, mother,
sister and brother who loved and cared
for her so tenderly, she would say,
Come" Now she waits their coming.
She can not come to us, but we may
go to her.
We loved her, yea we loved her,
But angels loved her more,
And they have w-etly called her
To yonder shining shore.
The pearey gates were opened,
| A gentle voice said come.
And with loving words unspoken,
Queenie safely anchored home.

Kipling's Rev Animal Stories.

Rudyard Kipling is going to tell of
"The Beginning of the Armadillos"
in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
of course, Mr.. Kipling brings to bear
an irresistably funny, but withal a
highly ingenious, philosophy in de-
scribing the peculiarities of the Ar
madillo. He evidently found enjoy
ment in writing these stories-he calls
them-"Just So" stories-for he has in
terwoven more inimitable humor into
his account of the way by which the
Armadillos come into being, and the
Others of the series, than in anything
else that has come to his versatile
pen.
