Mr.. Clcvcl9nd's favor and his own
ability from TIC position of a privatt

the Presidents cabinet is an interest
ing one. relates the New York Times.
When Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
for governor Lamont was connected
with the state Democratic committee.
He had never met Mr.. Cleveland.
Evidently he saw great possibilities in
Mr. clcvelands career. for he deter
mined TO win his friendship. Every
night nc wrote out q report upon the
political situation in the state. based
upon the latest information which had
cone to the committee, and mailed the
report to Mr.. Cleveland at Buffalo.
When Mr.. Cleveland was elected gov
crnor he chose Lamont for his private
secretary over many aspirants. ON the
day Of the inauguration Mr.. Lamont

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance Of Magic.
No one would suppose that 1t Is pos.
sible to hold glowing coal on a piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth. but that such can be done Is easy
for any one to prove. and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
is good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity. which is only another form Of
heat. If poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end, although it has not been in the
fire. because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
globe of copper and draw a piece Of
cloth tightly over 1t so that there is
not wrinkle at the top If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place. you can safe
~ put a glowing coal on top of the
cloth. and. while it burns fiercely, the
cloth will not even be scOrched.
The reason is that the great conduc.
tivity OF the copper draws the heat of
the coal before 1t can burn the cloth
DO not try this experiment with
good handkerchief first, for if the cloth
Is not tightly drawn 1t may burn, but
take some worthless piece of linen or
and after you are certain OF
your experience you can astonish YOUR
friends who do not know the secret

The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O,Conneu at a Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator had a contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion meet
ing had been convened, and large
crowd assembled in room on the first
floor of a building in a small city IN
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when gentleman, pale. with
fear made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
"Liberator the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore 1t up are crack
Ing. and we shall fall through In few
minutes"
Keep silent" said O'Connell. Then,
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
II find that the room Is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
In, SO we must leave 1t and hold tho
meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
81 will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there Is panic
and rush to the door, we shall all be
precipitated into the room below, but
IL you obey my orders we shall be
saved Let the 10 mon npa rest tha door
go quietly out, then the next IL, and so
on till all have gone. I shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter. and he waited. patient and
calm. till all had gone out In safety.
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering. cracking floor. reaching the
door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus, by the force Of his
strong will. terrible accident was
averted.-Exchange.

HE MEANT WE'LL,
In Obliging Man Who Made an EN-.
barrassing Mistake.

IN OOAhk Ink WAN w no Md0e an Ema
barrassing Mistake.
A young editor took an apartment on
South Twelfth street The landlady
said frankly to him: II will tell you,
sir, that my husband is a worthless fel.
low. have to support him, and he
sometimes comes home very late,
drunk. There is no other objection to
my house." The editor said this was
no matter and thought no more of it
until few nights later, when a great
uproar In the street awoke him. He
looked out of the window and saw q
man lying on the doorstep shouting rib
aid things. "The husband" thought
the editor. "I'll go down and let him
in."
He ran forth In his pyjamas, grabbed
the husband by the neck and, jerking
him into the hallway, proceeded to drag
him up stairs. But the man made
strong objections to this treatment. He
howled oaths and abuse. kicked, strug-
gled, even pulled out handful Of the
young editors hair, but this was in
vain. for the youth is strong and Of
determined mind, and he was bound
that he would do his landlady a good
turn.
He had got perhaps three parts Of
the way up stairs with his burden
when two heads were poked in the dim
light over the balustrade, and the land
lady's voice said, "Why, Mr.. Blank,
what are you doing?'
The editor painted as he took a fresh
hold and at the same time ducked q
sharp uppercut: I'm bringing your
husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again,
I'm sorry to say"
From the other head on the landing
these words then issued in deep bass
voice: "What do you mean, young fell
Ter, by drunk again" I'm this lady's
husband. That man doesn't belong
here"
Instantly realizing his mistake, the
editor dumped his charge out into the
street again. Then he returned and
apologized lamely to the rightful hus-
band for his strange words.-PLiladel.
