RECENT INVENTIONS.

To automatically extinguish the flame
in circular-burner lamps a round plate
is set in the center of the burner on
spring wire, which can be pulled
down by button at the side to cover
the wick and cut off the flame.
Hatpins cannot injure ladies' hats if
new attachment is used, consisting
of metal plate. with a number of
holes for the pin, to be placed in the
crown of the hat and keep the pin
from breaking the straw or felt.
Bomb-proOf turrets are to be placed
in express and mail cars for use of the
clerks when the train is held up, the
new device being hung from the roof
of the car and fitted with port holes,
which cover all entrances to the car.
A recently designed faucet has a sec
ton cut out of the bottom so that a
ball can be inserted which rests at
the end of the cutoff spindle and closes
the outlet to prevent water escaping
when the spindle is taken out for re
packing.
Punctures in pneumatic tires can be
easily detected by new improvement
consisting of n soluble coloring matter,
such as aniline, in a semi-fuid state,
placed inside the tire to escape through
the puncture and discolor the outside
of the tire.
Combs for applying oils, lotions, etc,
to the scalp or hair are made with hol-
low teeth with outlets in the points, the
rear portion opening into a chamber in
the back of the comb, and the medica-
ment being forced in from the flexible
bulb in the handle.
To dampen envelopes for sealing, a
piece of sponge or other absorbent ma
terial is set in a hole in the metal
stopper of a bottle filled with water
the outflow of the water being regulat

For manufacturing holdings for pic

with wheels, having a continuous de
sign cut in the faces of the rims, which

Wales View of a Man Who Never

Anecdotes of the new sovereign Of
Great Britain will doubtless be popular
for some time to come-at least until
the novelty of his accession shall have
worn away. A short time ago he was
staying at a friends country place in
the West of England, where, among
the guests, was a somewhat conceited,
straight-laced, and interfering clergy
man. Entering the billard-room one
morning shortly after breakfast
the person found his royal highness
deeply interested in a sporting paper.
Instead of retiring at once, as any man
of tact would have done, the clergyman
forced himself upon the prince.

paper as you are reading really inter

Il am not in the habit, sir, of reading
what does not interest me-" said the
prince very rigidly, and then turned
again to his paper.
The parson, however, determined to
have his say, continued in somewhat
dramatic tone of voice:
Don't you think, your royal highness
that horse racing and betting are a
great curse to this country? Now,
what would your royal highness think
of man (alas, once friend of mineD
who lost $4,000 through betting? He
told me himself that he never won $500

The egg of the guillemot is one of

admirable example of the way in

edges of high rocks. from which posi-
ton any ordinary specimen of the egg

''If the truth were KNOWN" said the
head of large wholesale house of this
city, Il dare say we would be startled
at the number of men of affairs in any
large place who habitually sign letters
and other documents without reading
them. They become convinced that it
is physically impossible to even glance
at everything requiring signature and
resign themselves to the necessity of
trusting somebody l used to have
that idea myself" continued the whole

startling incident, and since then have

We had an enormous mail that grew
larger every day, and while l dictated
very few answers myself / made it
rule to sign all outgoing letters as presi-
dent of the company.
Sometimes there would be several
hundred in batch, and my confiden-
tial clerk, in whom had the most i'm
plicit trust, finally got to bringing them
! in with the ends Overlapped so all l
could see was a succession of lines for
my signature. l didn't like the plan.
but it seemed the only way of getting
rid of the job, and l would grab pen
and slap down a succession of auto

l was kept advised as. to the general
character of the mail, but unless some
question was raised l never thought of
/ taking out letter and reading it. One
winter day. will never forget it as
long as 1 live-the clerk brought in an
unusually big batch of letters to be
signed and was about to deposit the
sheaf on my desk, when somebody
opened an outside door and let in a
severe blast of wind. Fully half the
sheets were blown over the room and
some went into the fire. The old clerk

to do my dear old confidential clerk

1t Was a Profound Mystery to the
Old-Time Hibernian.
Old Mike and his wife lived in lit
tie cabin on the mountainous of a
type which is happily every day becom-
ing more and more rare. The walls
were of mud, and the floor of the same
useful material, with gutter running
down the middle to divide the family
apartment from that of the domestic
animals. To this mansion came his rev.
erence one cold, showery morning in
March to hold q station. His umbrella
was wet and dripping, so, being a care
full man, he placed it, open, in the space
vacated by the animals, who were
grazing outside. After the usual devo-
lions, when the congregation had dis
persed, he went for a stroll, while
MORA prepared his breakfast, for to en-
terrain his reverence afterward is the
browning honor of station. He had
not gone far when heavy shower OBJ
liged him to take shelter under a tree
and send little gossoon running back
for his umbrella.
Ellis reverence is afther sending me
to bring his ombrell!' said the boy,
bursting into the cabin.

maybe it's the thing he lift beyant in

he tried to pass through the door, but
the entrance was low and narrow and
the umbrella large and wide. With
out a moments hesitation he caught up
spade and began shovelfng down the
wall at either side of the door.
Man alivev' said the priest, appear

''Shure, it's maxim way l am for yer

Massage for Apoplexy.

The medical profession recognizes to-
day as it has never done before the re-
markable aid Of massage. 1t has done
marvellous things for paralysis, even
for apopleXy, at which doctors once
looked on helplessly. Apoplexy is
caused by clot Of blood on the brain,
and if that clot can be broken up, if an
emptying can be effected of clogged
veins, recovery is in sight. Constant
massage of the forehead and skull will
do it this has been proved over and
over AGAIN., while paralyzed limbs, by
patient, constant kneading, can have
new life rubbed into them.
