TAKEN UNAWARES.


 Often an engineer will weigh the coal and measure the water evaporated with the object of ascertaining the economic performance of his plant; but the method pursued is calculated to defeat the object, because he is like ly to detail his best nremen for the work, and the man will himself, en- deavor to do as well as he knows how, either for his own credit or because he is imbued with the idea that an ex- pertinent of this character requires much greater care on his part than is necessary in everyday work. The re suit is a performance which is very much better than the average. 1t is, indeed, q difficult matter, to ascertain how bad q performance may be, be- cause as soon as the fireman sees that he is being watched he is sure to i'm prove his practice, and any prepara- tion toward weighing coal or measur- ing water is at once an incentive for him to do his best. The method best suited to secure evidence of every day conditions is testing the products of combustion, and if provision is made so that this may be done when the fireman is not aware, some surprising conditions may be discovered.

ST PATRICK'S s BELL.

4 V . ? ' Of the many strange relics handed down to posterity, the bell of St Pat
 rick is not the least. say Country Life. I Quaint in shape and rude in make, it has withstood the vicissitudes of 1,4O0
 men of Irish Christian metal work we l possess.
 Made, 10 doubt, by some of the arti- l flee who followed in. the train of the l first missionary, and originally used by l him as a summons to prayer, it became l in time, itself an object of almost worship. a
 It is formed of two roughly wrought l sheets of iron, bent and rounded into quadrilateral shape: the face, crown,
 upper part of back, and adjoining sides composed of one sheet, which is fasten- ed by large-headed iron rivets to the smaller sheet. which it overlaps in l places.
 To strengthen the whole fabric and | improve it's tone 1t was afterwards dipped in bath of fused bronze. The l handle is of iron, let into the ridge of
 the bell by spikes fitting into holes and I fastened on the outside as well by | ss ssss
 The fact that the history of this re ] liquary can be traced back to the time of it's manufacture, about the year 1o91, l is most curious. It has never been lost sight of, for so highly was 1T prized that
 a special keeper was appointed as it's guardian. The guardianship descended l from the hereditary keeper of the bell
 in the old monastery, and continued in
 one family from generation to genera 1 tion.
 For many years it brought with it
 much wealth, but even when the profits
 grew less the care of the precious
 charge was not relaxed. The family would have sacrificed any one of it's members rather than lose the custody of the sacred relic, but at last, through l no fault of theirs, it passed into other
 hands, for death. the destroyer, saw fit to carry off the last of their race.
 It is now preserved in the museum of the Royal Irish academy.

 That Charles c. Dawes, comptrol- Ter of the treasury, who poses as a close personal friend of Mir Mckinley, should be neglecting his official duties to push along his candidacy, for the seat now held by Senator Billy Ma son, of Illinois, is regarded in Wash ington as indicating that Mason made a mistake when he declared that MT Mckinley would follow hands-off policy in the senatorial fight. The friends of Dawes openly claim that he has the full and cordial support of the administration and that at the proper time that fact will be made clear to the republican voters of the state. If they are right, the country can look for some lively speeches from Mason on the floor of the senate, in which he will do some more blushing for the adminis- tration. Mason does not rank high as a statesman in the senate, but as a rough and tumble fighter he is an an tagonist that knows how to made things howl, as he has shown upon several notable occasions.

NATURAL PORTRAIT OF CHRIST

s l
 A curious little stone is on view at the Dore gallery. London. When plac- ed in certain light it shows finely carved face, and many people aver that the face is the face of the Redeemer as depicted by some of the old mas ters.
 The stone was discovered by an American lady on Mount KopefeI, over looking the village of Oberammergaa, famous for the Passion Playv Geo. logical experts guarantee that 1t is natural and that no tool has carved it.
 Among those who have examined it are Dr Garnett of the British museum, who calls 1t natural curiosity, more curious than anything of the same na- ture with which I am acquainted, and the history of it's discovery is more cn- rious still;'' and Sir W. H. Fowler of South kensington museum, who de- scribes it as "a small fragment the broken surface of which shows strik- ing resemblance to human face" According to Mrs Craigie (John Oli- yer Hobbes,) the enlarged photographs of the stone do not give ssthe same sensation of astonishment, and, in deed reverence which the original ir- resistibily conveys. v" London Mail.

 "Sir:-Wil1 you please for the future give my boy sum easier somes to do at mites? This is what he brought hoam to or three mites back: If fore gallins of bere will fill thirty-to pint bottles how meny pint and a half bottles will nine gallins fillY Well, we tried, and could make nothing of it at all; and my boy cried and sed he didn't dare go back in the morning without doing it. So had to buy nine-gallin cask of bere, which could i'll afford to do, and then we went and borrowed lot of wine and brandy bottles, besides a few we had by us. Well, we emptied the cask into the bottles, and then counted them, and there were nine teen, and my boy put the number down for an answer I don't know wether it is rite or not as we split sum while doing it.

If Senator Pritchard of North Caro- lima, did not land what he went to the White house after day or two ago, 1t wasn't because he didn't jolly along one of Mir McKinleys pet ideas. The day before he called on Mir Mckinley, Senator Pritchard got himself inter- viewed, and predicted that both North and South Carolina would soon be re- publican. Mir Mckinley may have talk en. that prediction seriously since, he is known to have swallowed others equally as wild about the South, but everybody else regarded it as humor- ous.

 The Woodbury- Eddy trial demon strates that libel is all a matter of the imagination. If anybody is trying to libel you, just have faith that there is nothing in 1t and it will vanish in thin air. On the other hand, if you libel any one, have faith that it was some one else and suits against you will come to naught As matter of fact, most libels are the results of imagina- tion at some point.-New Haven Union.

That would have been just the place for a local board of arbitration.

The Democrat was in hopes that the difficulty in that factory. at least, would De settled yesterday, and we anxiously waited until 4 o'clock in order to herald the good news to our readers, but 1t was not to be.

HOW HE WENT TO THE SHOW.

There is a young insurance man on the West side whose available assets are represented by the $15 which his urday evening at o'clock. When he came to Milwaukee year and half ago a friend recommended good boarding place on Wells street.
 Our hero" took kindly to the clean napkins and the hickory toothpicks, and decided to make the place his home. By working the hard pedal he has been able to play his own accompaniments for Sweet Rosy O'Grady,', ssSYhy Don't You Get a Lady ofAlYour Own?' and other soulful melodies Thereby he won the good will of the landlady, and was permitted to walt until the close of the month before paying for his room and board. With motherly solicitude for young man alone in great city, the landlady has sewed on buttons and mended her boarder's clothing. She has also paid his laundry bills, includ- ing the cost of the same in her month ly bill when settlements were made.
 Last week the insurance man prom ised to take "a nice young lady,,i to see Mrs Leslie Carter in .zara. ," When he took stock he found that if his promise was to be keptsit would be necessary for him to find an indulgent friend with q willingness to separate himself from several greenbacks. The acquaintance upon whom he had relied to tide him over told him they were just out.''
 For a minute social ostracism seem ed to be flirting with financial embar- rassment. But it was only for a min ute. Penury sharpens the edge of in- genuity. He called at the laundry and said that he was going to be away for 8 short time, and he did not want his package delivered for four or i've days. Borrowing laundry slip and a large sheet of wrapping paper, he went to the office, and with great care wrap ped up several dozen old newspapers in a neat package Then he filled out the laundry slip under it showed 3 total OF S2,11y and pinned it to the package A messenger boy delivered the package to the boarding house and collected the $21 Il. The boy returned with the money for his employer, thereby earning elev- en cents.
 Friday evening the insurance man and his girl saw "Zaza." He wore an Ascot tie. Milwaukee Sentinel.

IN AN OLD BO0K-STALL.

Here for song you may command Old books, well thumbed and hoary; Along the grimy walls they stand, Tomes of immortal story. And out of reach, on loftier shelves, Beyond our small ambitions And slender purse, dwell by them The costlier first editions.'' There let them rest till Croesus comes; We really do not need them, Content to banquet on the crumbs, . We buy our books-and read them ]! The one that bears the mark of use. Back-broken, worn and shattered, Is dearer that its leaves are loose, It's poor frame rent and tattered. This grim old keeper of the stall
 Tends these dead things in leather And sheep and cloth and parchment
 -all
 Close sepulchred together; And few, alas! besides ourselves Who prowl about the portals, Seek out along the dusty shelves The names of these immortalss Here where the city's life goes by, Where wheels and wagon. rumble, Wrapped in their cerements they lie, The lofty and the humble. Dust unto tfust-but from their sleep Come bright immortal flashes; Their spirits into being leap
 From out their crumbling ashes. They are not dead, these silent tonnes; They die not, save in seeming; Far from these bookish catacombs They fill the world with dreaming. And each that some small message
 gives.
 Or makes for high endeavor, Puts mortality, but lives
 And works it's will forever!

THE LAND OF THE OUGHT To-BE.
 (Afr Invented Fable1

A long suffering passenger who had been riding on the electric cars several years, and knew what it meant to be treated rudely, and jostled, and insult ed, and have his life continually in danger, was one day, in quite the usual manner, nearly run over by motor man. When, after running for several blocks-for he had to catch train and needed that car-he got aboard, he spoke gently to the conductor about not stopping, and the conductor gave him merry wink, and said some unpleas- ant things that grated upon the Long Suffering Passenger.
 A week later the long g-suffering pas senger sent for the superintendent of the road, who hastened to him immedi- ately to hear what he had to say, and that good man was overwhelmed with chagrin to think such a thing could have happened.
 "Our road, 7 he exclaimed, ssis run in the interests of the public, and I shall never recover from my regret at your treatment But as we. control the state legislature, the municipal assembly, and own all the thoroughfares, come down to the car house tomorrow morning at ' 80, and I will give you chance to get even. I'll have the principal street we go through packed for a mile or so with no one else but conductors and motormen trying to get ride, and you can take charge of car as motorman yourself, travel back and forth the en- tire day, and run over as many as you please"
 Moral:
 .How was it?" said the superintend- ent the next day to the long-suffering passenger.
 ''It didn't last long enough said the long-suffering passenger.-Life.
