AN ANESTHETlC SAFE.
Queer Product of an Inventor of the
OIden Times.

OIden Times.
"I ran across a queer old relic in my
line Of business recently" said safe
and lock expert who is in the city.
was prowling around a machine shop ID
a town in Iowa, trying to find a hitting
that / needed, when | happened to notice
a sheet iron box which seemed to have
once been entirely covered with glass
tubes attached to the surface by cement.
All Of the tubes were broken, and most
OF them were missing, but the general ar
rangement could be easily traced, and the
contrivance impressed me at once with q
sense of familiarity. Presently | remem-
bered about it. 1t was all that was left
OF the one time famous 'anasthetic safe,
an invention which ought to have been
sponsored by a society for the prevention
of cruelty to burglars. The idea of the
thing was that any cutting or drilling
through the outer casing should release
certain chemicals which would promptly
stupefy everybody in range of their
fumes. In the morning the owner would
find his vauables intact and could simply
call dray and pack off the unconscious
burglars to Jail.
with such a device it was unnecessa-
ry to have massive steel walls, and the
model which l CHANGED to resurrect was
made Of one-eighth inch sheet iron. The
inner box was entirely surrounded with
glass tubes about the diameter Of a lead
pencil and filled alternately with two
chemicals which were supposed TO pro-
duce stupefying gas when they came into
contact. There was thin outside cas-
ing and the theory was that any effort
TO break in would necessarily fracture
two or more of the fragile glasses. 1t
seemed incredible, but several prominent
capitalists became greatly interested in
the scheme and stood ready to back il
with unlimited means until actual tests
finally convinced them of its grOtesque
impracticability. How the model ever
drifted to the Iowa machine shop ]
couldn't find out. 1t had been there for
years and was probably part of the plum
der Of some forgotten junk sale.
THE only other safe / know Of fit to
rank with the 'anTsthetic' as freak
was one designed by an inventor in
Washington. 1t was circular in shape,
with pivot at the bottom, and ut night
time the plan was to connect il with an
engine belt and spin it like a top. The
inventor was very much in earnest and
made a large working model. He admit
ted modestly that the safe could only be
used where steam power was available
What would prevent the burglars from
throwing off the belt he didn't state

For some time abOrtive attempts
have been made to make hand painted
gowns fashionable. And there seems
to be some possibility that the idea
may be taken up this season. 1t will
certainly be caviare to the general, for
the very good reason that it will be a
mode which can only be INDUCED in by
those able to pay save in cases Of
course where girls are fortunate
enough to possess artistic talent. The
fashion prophets tell us that not only
gowns and blouses, but parasols and
stockings-nay. even gloves-are to be
adorned with hand painted sprays. The
effect will doubtless be pretty enough,
and. though OF course the fashion Is
bound to be an eXtravagant one, yet
the balance will be adjusted, as it al
ways Is In these matters, since II will

TABLE ETIQUETTE.
How TO Eat According to the Rules
of Good Breeding.

of Good Breeding.
Do not leave your spoon in your tea
cup. Crack the top off your egg in
stead of peeling it.
If you have bacon or fish, have sep
arate plate for your bread or toast and
butter, but not when only having boiled
eggs, which require very careful eating,
by the bye, as nothing looks so nasty
as yolk of egg spilled all over the plate
and egg cup.
Do not sip your tea or coffee with a
spoon.
Do not drain the cup.
For fish do not use o dessert knife
instead Of the fish knife. If there be
no fish knife, use a small crust Of your
bread, but leave that piece Of crust on
your plate. Do not eat it afterward,
as SO many people do.
Do not be dainty and fringe your
plate with bits of meat. Eat what you
can and put any skin or bone on the
edge of your plate in one little heap,
which move down from the edge when
you have finished.
Do not crumple up your table napkin.
II you are only a guest for the day, do
not fold it up, but if you are staying on
and in a quiet household fold 1t up. If
you are staying in big house where
everything is done zen grand prince"
do not fold it up. Just place 1t on the
table when you leave, as in rich estab-
lishments there are clean table napkins
every day.
After eating it is well before you
drink TO wipe your lips, otherwise you
leave a smeary mark on the glass.
Do not gulp liquids and bolt food.
Do not masticate or swallow audibly.
Do not pile your plate with food or
grasp your knife, fork or spoon as II 1t
were a weapon of warfare.
Do not crumble the bread by your
side or drain your glass to the last
drop.
On the other hand, do not be affected
and eat as if al appetite were a crime,
drink as If you were dicky bird and
hold your knife, fork and spoon as If
they were redhot needles.

A MOUNTAIN LAKE.

Oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks have Elna
When years and years, the shaggy hills among,
They babbled OF their trials, with foamy tears,
Until, all wearied, having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorTows and their fears.
Like sentinels the stolid mountains stand
About you, drest in garb OF gorgeous green;
At early dawn their mirrored shapes are seen
IN shimmcrng outline, painted by the sun,
Upon your face, athwart the cleaning sand,
Nor fade from view until the day is DONE
fitting figure Of eternal rest
You typify the changeless fate Of man
When, having coursed mortality'S brief span
Adown the hills OF Time his life shall end,
And all his doings, be they banned or blest,
Foreyermore, with other deeds, shall blend.

A noble thought.

Fell on my work and marred its texture fair

NO JUNE DROP.
The Cu1tivatOr and Not the PlOw

The Cu1tivatOr and Not the P1Ow
Used In a New Jersey Orchard.
Many farmers leave their orchards
until all the other spring work, such as
sowing oats and planting corn, is fin
ished. Then about the 1st Of June,
when a good sod has formed, they go
In and rip up and ridge up the soil
with the plow. This Is, | believe q
radically wrong method, for, in addl-
tion to leaving unsatisfactory surface
conditions alternate ridges and fur
rows, the fibrous roots that are thrown
out for the sustenance Of the fruit are
cut off, and the June drop" and the
forced fruit Of July almost invariably
follow. During the last five years on
1900 trees l have had no June drop
and not a basket OF forced fruit, and
have not had a plow IN my orchard in
that time, but have used a cultiyator
exclusively.
Some II years ago contrived n cul-
tivator, having In view two principal
objects-to relieve the team from the
annoyance of being driven close to the
trees and to save time by rapid work.
AS the cultivator does not need to run
more than two or three inches deep,
the roots of the trees are but slightly
disturbed, the surface remains level,
less tendency to wash is noticed, the
soil is kept free from weeds, and the
trees show a vigorous and healthy
growth.
All this is not secured by one culti-
walton. We begin as early In the
spring as the ground and weather will
permit, and by the middle Of July we
have gone through the orchard seven
or eight times. After that we do no
more cultivating until the next spring.
i believe thorough cultivation Is abso-
lutely essential if you would keep your
trees vigorous and make them long
lived.-S. b. Voorhees,.
