IN THE REALM OF ART,

Tolstoi's Scar Feodor Joannowitch"
is the first play that has reached as
many as 100 performances in Rus
sian city within a period of two years.
The clarinet was not an especia1lv
important musical instrument until it
was improved by Denner, about 1000.
By 1850 it had grown into common use.
1t was first employed in a theater in
1851 in a pastoral by Rameau, entitled
"Acante ct Cephise."
The prices obtained in Paris for fine
engravings in superior states are note
worthy. Thus a choice proof of Van

John H. Gaver, an Englishman, who
rejoices in the possession of the de-
gree of "Mus. Doc. Oxon.," has written

sources of the treasury have been at
their disposal. On one plea and an
other Hanna is rolling up fine cam
paign fund.
1t worries the republicans though
that there is so much apathy in their
own ranks. Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears of
it at all.
The business interests of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rialism by unsettling the very founda-
tions of government threatens all sta
bic business. They are beginning to
realize that Imperialism must be de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that is settled.
The official record of strikes and
shutting down of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash
ington shows that the alleged mid
summer stagnation is really reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been so widely heralded.

THE FAT MANS LITTLE JOKE.
He Sprung 1t on the Steamboat Cap.
tain and Got His Large
Party Aboard.

A Coney Island excursion steamer was
leaving New York with but few passengers
aboard. The boat had just cast off, says the
Sun, when stout man with very red face
rushed down the pier, and, flourishing his
stick, shouted: "Hey, captain Put back
back her quick. Here's large party wants
to CO."
The captain was at first derisive, but final
ly shouted from the pilot house: How
large is the party"
For an instant the fat man hesitated, then
he yelled back: Between 60 and TO-"
As soon as the captain heard this number
he instantly ordered the steamer back and
made fast again. The fat man waddled
across the gangplank, and, picking out a
nice deck seat, famed himself with his
straw hat Meanwhile the captain and his
crew waited for the party to arrive. After
waiting five minutes and more, the captain
turned impatiently toward the stout man
and asked: where's your party between
60 and 20? This boat can't wait all day for
them?"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the fat pas
senger, with bland smile. ''Tm the party
-65 to-day, sir"
The captains face grew redder even than
the passengers as he furiously rang the bell
to steam ahead, but the fat man at once be-
came the hero of the boat.

-Attorney General Monnett, of
Chic, boldly declares that the repub-
lican leaders are in league with the
trusts to enable them to rob the peo-
pie and, destroy the very foundations
of free government. He states the un-
questionable truth that many of the
necessaries of life are from so to 4O0
per cent. higher than they would be
if trust control were removed and that
this condition is brought about by
governmental favors conferred by the
republican party. The republican
party has prevented the passing of any
effective law for the suppression OF
trusts and is now trying in every
way to divert attention from them

ShaKer Dieu.

Baltimore News: The remarkable longevity of the Shakers is claimed by them to be due entirely to the self enforced rule of regular sleeping hours and meals, the kind of clothing worn, the manual occupation and the food partaken of at the settlement. The most of the Shakers are enthusiastic vegetarians. Contrary to the opnioA1 of many food authorities, the' con sider tomatoes as exceptionally health- ful. They use them for breakfast oih. ner and supper all through the tonnaeo season, while the Lebanon Shakers put ID about 400 gallons for their own use every winter. As these Shakers have not had a case of fever in the family for thirty years, have almost no other sickness. and scarcely ever a doctor it looks as though their diet agreed with them. Another vegetable that they especially prize is celery, which they think is also staple article of diet. served baked, in a warm sauce or even in pies and buildings.

A HERO OF THE MINE.
He sought Not Glory. but to Save a
 Human Life.


 Heber Franklin, a young man em- ployed in the Clear Creek mine, is as much a hero as any man who ever braved death on the battlefield, says the Salt Lake Herald Franklin sought not glory, but to save human life. There was a fire in the mine. The men were called out Then they were about st to shut off the air in order to stop the flames, when it was learned that a lone miner was working deep in the mine beyond the point where the fire started and was then raging with growing strength. Here is the story of the subsequent events: Foreman Thomas immediately called for volun- teers to go with him into the mine to rescue the man. Several attempts were made by different ones, but they were driven back by the flames and the cry of "Powder!" caused a nasty retreat. Finally Heber Franklin, a young man whose work keeps him on the outside, said: T will go.9 And accompanying Foreman Thomas he pressed on through the fire and found the man working away tamping hole, entirely unconscious of the dan ger threatening him. They succeeded in getting out of the mine safely, when the fan was shut off and the dip closed up. The rescue was an act of great bravery on the part of Franklin, as his work kept him on the outside and he was unacquainted with the exact lay of the land within and the danger of suffoeation from black damp was great. He was the only man of the many standing by whose nerve did not desert him. It is stated upon good authority that ten minutes more of lost time would have resulted in the death of the miner who was at work, and possibly a great loss to the company, as the supply of air could not be cut off while there was any hope of rescue and this would have tended to feed the flames.

some Ways of Producing Artificial Low
 Temperatures.
 In the line of refrigeration on the rail, the newest and eIeverest inYen- tion is a car that by the motion of it's own wheels, congresses ammonia gas to liquid, which, in expanding again through pipes, produces the cold re- quired to preserve the perishable prod uets transported in the vehicle What the neWly-discoyered liquid air may accomplish in the branch of enterprise here discussed, no man can say. though astonishing things are predict ed for it, but already cold in this in- tensely concentrated form is on the market and may be bought by the gal lon. Very possibly, in the near future carts may go from door to door in cities with cans of eold-i. e., liquid air put up in suitable tins-depositing full receptacIes each morning for the days supply, and taking away the "empties." A little of the stuff in the family refrigerator will keep the pro- visions sweet, while what remains may De uGlIlE6u lOI COOlluS luS dAl OL tA4S house, a spoonful being deposited here and there in a saucer. An inventor has recently devised scheme for sprink- ling a town with the help of balloons, which carry up into the air long hose pipes connected with dre-plugs on the ground. This is for the purpose of engendering coolness; and the same object is sought, by another genius, who proposes to erect in various parts of the city very tall skeleton towers, to the tops of which large bombs filled with carbonic acid, will be run up for explosion by an electric spark. Of course, the earbonic acid, expanding in the form of vapor, will chill the surrounding atmosphere. thus giving relief to the heat-oppressed community below. An idea that is even now used in many factories to cool the air in the buildings is to throw spray of cold water into a room until the air is supersaturated, and then to force the air thus cooled through the outer rooms.-Boston Transcript.

POWER OF AUTHORITY.
Lack of Respect for It Causes Many
 Political Crimes.


 The authority of the state is as sacred in it's own place as the author ity of the home, and that nation which above all personal and individual rights holds the law of the land and the government of the nation in the highest esteem is the nation which will insure it's final prosperity. And yet there are those, and they are not in small number, in this and other lands, who rebel against the constituted au- thorit.. z their governmsnt. and at the same time consider themselves good citizens. European rulers have been assassinated, two attempts have been made upon the life of England's queen, and in our country Presidents Lincoln and Garfield were foully murdered And what was the primary cause of these terrible tragedies? Nothing more nor less than lack of respect for constituted authority. And there are those today who, while perhaps they will not resort to such deeds of violence, nevertheless have a hatred oL tHS SOAeIHEDeuL= =OI iHe ndIlOnt De- cause forsooth, the political party which they favor does not happen to be in power With such people, no matter what the chief executive of the nation does. it is wrong. No matter how carefully political affairs, the af- fairs of the nation, are planned and managed, the whole government in their opinion (anything but a humble opinion, by the way) consists of a set of thieves, robbers, money -grabbers and the like, who are only at the seat of government with the one intention of seeing what they can make out of their term of office. In some cases this may be more or less true; but if it is, it certainly does not excuse any loyal and patriotic citizen of this great re- public from being bound to pay his need of homage and respect for the constituted authority of the govern ment of his eountry.-Donohoe's Maga- zine

FIRST MACHINE TOOL.
Potter Wheel Appears on Monument
 Of Ancient Egypt.

There can be very little doubt that the potter's wheel, or potters lathe, as it is also termed, represents today the most ancient form of machine tool known. Among the many sculptured records of the trades and occupations which so Yiyidly represent the customs and habits of the ancient Egyptians, the potter and his wheel have been found frequently depicted, and it is curious to note that through the all most countless generations since that time this crude type of lathe has un- dergone no material modification. The priH5 Eve form was evidently a small reE14 ..e, set on a pivot, and free to Icing turned by hand at in- telf-, md to this device there were added |. the course of time such sim pie eoaEeniences as a table to support it and foot or a hand power turning arrangement, displaced, in recent years, in possibly few isolated cases. by actual engine power driving. In general use, however, the potter's wheel of the present time bears all the
 
 years or more ago, served to turn out pottery attesting unsurpassable taste and skill. It is curious, too. that in none of those ancient records are there shown examples of the forerunner of the common turning lathe as we know it today, even though the art of turn ing may be traced back to a very re- mote period. Among Egyptian antiq- uities that have been found at Thebes and other cities there have been many specimens which exhibited indubitable signs that the material, while in revolution, was subjected to the action of tool held at rest-legs of stools and chairs, for example, and lamps and musical instruments-and in later centuries, among the Greeks and Romans, the lathe was undoubted- ly in common use. Unfortunately, however, none of these early writers have left any account of the lathes and tools employed by their eontem- poraries.-Cassier's Magazine.
