PIANO OF MUSICAL STONES.
Extraordinary Instrument on Dis
play ut the Drest Expo
sitiOn.


Honore Baudre, an aged amateur
scientist, has placed on show at the
international exposition at Brest
what he calls a geological piano, the
most curious instrument perhaps in
the whole world, reports a London
exchange. NJ. Baudre says it took
him 33 years to construct it and even
now he claims there is slight defect
which he hopes to remedy before his
death. That there are musical stones
is not a new thing, But an instrument
composed of stones collected during
more than three decades of patient
research in France and Canada is a
phenomenal achievement.
NJ. Raudre found most of his music
al stones IN Auvergne and every one
of them represents either a petrihed
fish or some prehistoric instruments.
He relates that his greatest difficulty
consisted in finding the low c of his
octave. For more than ten years he
searched for it, when last fall he
came across it in Canada. He says
none can appreciate the JOY he felt
at it's discovery. Those who have
heard NJ Baudre play on his geolog-
zeal piano say the music is much pur-
er and sweeter than that of any 9TH
er instrument and it needs no piano
tuner to put it in order.
NJ. Baudre has received fiattering
offers to bring his piano to America
but he claims to be too old to under
take the journey, and as for selling
it, he would not part with it for all
the money in the world.

WHAT WESTCoTT WON BY SONG
Vocal Excellence Rewarded by Pre-
sentatiOn of Articles Wholly
Unsuited to Respiration.

That the author of "David Harum"
was conspicuous for his mellow BARI
tone voice is little thought of by those
who only. know him as an author, says
Literary Era. 1t was voice so sweet,
so rich, and so flexible that it could
play any prank with the emotion OF
those who heard it, and had Mr.. West
colt chosen to devote his life to music
he would have become noted singer,
But he contented himself with the
modest position of basso in a quartet
choir in Syracuse, and in delighting
his own special friends by singing in
q drawing room. He was fond of tell
ing of an occasion on which he was
invited to sing at concert in one
of the smaller towns of western New
York. The musical affair passed of
satisfactorily with the help of the
neighborhood talent, assisted by Mr..
.Westcott's rare voice. AS Mr.. West
colt was about to retire, his host
came timidly to his room, carrying
two long paper BOXES. 81 leave the

PROFIT IN GOOD CENTS.
Counterfeiters Run Little Risk and
Make Good Margin on Gem
uine Coins.

To pass a counterfeit $1,000 bill is
an extremely difficult undertaking,
because the very size of 1t invites close
inspection, but counterfeit cents will
pass about as fast as you hand them
out, even in banks, under the eyes Of
experts, for their insignificant size dis
arms suspicion. This fact is being
very strongly impressed on the off
GERS of the national subtreasury, who
are now in receipt of an immense num-
Der of these humble little counter
feits, says the Chicago Tribune.
About 500 of these little bogus coins
are arriving at the subtreasury daily,
and the April report shows that 1853
counterfeit cents were received out
of a total of 373, $40; yet the secret
service men are not able to locate the
counterfeiters. 1t is found that the
counterfeit cents are growing more
and more like the genuine ones, as
practice is making perfect, and it is
often with difficulty that they are dis
tinguished.
A strange feature of the business is
that the bogus cents are intrinsically
worth as much as the genuine ones.
They have the right quantity and
quality of metal in them, bear the
proper image and superscription, and
yet represent only II cents, in value,
to the pound, while a pound of similar
coins, struck at the United States
mint, are legal tender for $1.20. The
margin makes profit enough to invite
.ounterfeiting.

AS A LAST RESORT.
Another Addition to the Yarns Told
About the Wicked Con-
ductOr.

"There has been considerable said
about the per cent. of fare the con-
ductor thinks belongs to him over and
above his salary, and some very witty
things have been said about it. Even
the Broadway back platform philos-
opher has his digs at them" said a
Cleveland professional man the 9TH
er day to a Plain Dealer reporter.
81 once heard of fellow, much I'M
der the influence of liquor, who got
on the train to go home after enjoy
ing himself at picnic. He slipped into
seat and fell asleep. After the train
pulled out the conductor came into
the car and called 'Ticketsl' The
picnicker was too weary to respond,
and so the conductor poked him up a
little. The fellow reused up, fumbled
in one pocket, then another, till final
ly he pulled out very ragged bill and
handed it to the conductor. After ex-
aiming it carefully the latter said:
Say, my friend, see here. can't use
this"
"The passenger pushed himself up
on his elbow and remarked: What's
(hic) that you shayP
"T can't use this the conductor
replied.
"'Well, give 1t (hic) to the comp'ny
zen,' remarked the weary but gener-
ous-hearted man, dropping back into
the seat, confident he would be put off
at his destination"

HAS PECULIAR POWER.
Young Man of Cleveland, When He
Wills 1t, None Can Lift Him
from the Floor.

A young man at Cleveland who
weighs only 12O pounds and whom no
strong man can lift unless he chooses
to be lifted is furnishing entertain
men+ just now. The hard-to-lift man
is named Mack. The strongest men
have tried it and have invariably failed
to raise Mack from the floor against
his will, although they can do it easily
when he consents to be lifted. This
peculiar power, which few possess, is
very much of a mystery. Some say
it is a trick which can be learned from
an instructor and acquired by practice.
But this is not consistent with the
fact that only five or six persons are
known to have practiced it. The per-
Torrance is so interesting that moro
would undoubtedly give exhibitions
if they were able to learn how.
Persons who make themselves unfit
able invariably profess ignorance Of
how they do it, and physicians and sci
entists have been unable to account
for their power. Possibly learned men
will be able to explain 1t some time,
but as yet it seems to come under some
law of nature that has thus far eluded
the searchlight of investigation.

MOSQUITO SAVED HIS LIFE.
Industrious Biting of the Trouble
some Insect Aroused a Sleeper
to Deadly Peril.

Mosquitoes have been known to kill
people, but here is a story of one
that saved mans life. A Castle VAL
ley man tells the tale in the follow
ing manner, says the Philadelphia
Record.
"On Thursday night of last week I
went to bed very late, undressing and
putting out the gas in a kind Of
dream, for had been drinking heav-
lily. a mosquito awakened me with
its maddening buzz and 1 lay in a
stupor for little while, asking my
self what the overpowering odor was
that filled the room and what was
the cause of my feeling of dizziness
and faintness. Then l tried to get
to sleep again, but the mosquito
wouldn't let me. 1t buzzed and bit
and at last it reused me thoroughly.
"'What a smell of gas l said to
myself, and got up and staggered to
the chandelier, to find one burner
turned on full. I would have died
of asphyxiation if I had not been
aroused, and it was mosquito that
awakened me. 1 may truly say, there
fore, that mosquito saved my life"

MILLIONS OF BANANAS.
Three Vessel Loads of the Fruit Make
Work Lively I'm Phil
ndelphiR.

Scarcity of domestic grown fruits
caused ANOTHER record in the importa-
ton of bananas to be broken, when
three vessels, all laden with the tempt
ing fruit of the West Indies, lately
came up the Delaware, says the Pbila-
delphia Inquirer.
One of the three was the Russian
steamboat Urania, with $1,000 punches
of bananas slowed away in her hold,
and the others were the Norwegian
steamships Spero and Leon, the for
mer carrying $4,000 punches and the
latter with $4,000 punches, a grand to-
tai for the three ships of 42,300
punches. Averaged at go bananas to
each bunch, this means that 2,53s, 900
bananas were unloaded altogether, or
nearly two for each resident of Phil
adelphia.
So great was the inward rush Of the
fruit that one of the ships, the Spero,
was unable to find dock room, and her
cargo was brought to shore in lighters,
while the Spero lay at anchor in the
middle of the Delaware off pier 5. This
is one of the rarest of happenings in
this port, and the proceedings were
watched with interest by big crowd
of spectators. The unprecedented de-
mand for men to unload the bananas,
work which the importers find it pays
to do with especial quickness while the
big consumption of the fruit is on, nat
urally sent longshoremen's wages
skyward, and the pockets of many of
them were jingling with coin at the
end of the day.
