We'll, I put him in q hot bath to begin with, and set a couple of massage operators to scrubs ping him with flesh brushes and car< bolic soap. In little while we saw that wouldn't do. They got off a few small pieces, but the skin came of along with them, and I stopped tha haying and tried sponging with benz zine. That had about as much effect as spring water on krupp armor plate.
 ''Then sent for a doctor, who had to admit himself puzzled. He said he had had very few cases of tarring and feathering in his practice, but some thing had to be done quick, so he tried soaking in warm turpentinet That proved to be tho correct thing but it was desperately SOW work, and meanwhile the man had to be kept up on stimulants, for he was getting very weak. Eventually the turpen- tine dissolved the tar, and we got ii off with soft sponges, but how long do you think it took? Five days working on and off, as he could stand it. When we got through he was laid up for a month. I got S150 for the job. No, gentlemen, there is nothing humorous about tar and feathers when seen at close range"

To A Little One. know not whither thy dear steps are
 tending. Dear on life's thorny ways; I see the morning-not the twilight ending Of thy sweet days. I hear the music of thy merry laughter Clear-ringing over all; would net think that tears may come
 hereafter
 Yet, the bright tears will fall. I fashion for thee an unclouded heaven Of steadfast stars and sun; see thee sad, and shining, and forgiven, Where brave deeds should be done. Yet for the end-to know it is forbidden: In blindness, dear, I trust Thou shalt find light to see the thorn-spears

New Form of phonoxraph.


 Among the exhibits at the Paris exposition was photograph, invent ed by Valdemar Poulsen, Danish en- gineer, which uses a wire-wound in stead of wax-covered cylinder. The wire is of steel, and over it, in place of the usual stylus, passes a small electro-magnet connected with tel ephone transInitter and battery. The sound waves cause a varia tion in the intensity of the electro-magnet, and the magnet, acting upon the wire passing beneath it, leaves a perma- nent impression upon the latter. Upon reversing the action the wire reacts on the magnet and correspond ing sounds are transmitted by the tel ephone. In order to obliterate the magnetic trace on the cylinder it is only necessary to revolve it under the magnet while this is subjected to continuous current.
