Fruit Jars can be quickly and easily
sealed or opened by anew machine,
which has two independent levers, pro-
vided with adjustable collars, to en-
gage the cover and jar respectively, a
pull on the levers tightening the collars
and turning the cover.
Type faces of new typewriter are
arranged on nine type bars In rows OF
three each, with shifting keys for ad-
justing the bars to strike the letters
desired, using only nine keys to print
the letters and two shift-keys to raise

Improved hooks and eyes have the
central portion Of the eye broadened
and fiattened with a shoulder on either
side of the center, which prevents lat
eral movement of the hook and the two
members can be separated only at the
widened portion of the eye.
A detachable tie retainer has been de-

The good man, Weighing hundred

NOT IN THE PLAY.
A Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.

A short time ago a great historical
play was being given in an Italian
theater. The king had to read his
speech from the throne. He was sur
rounded by the court, all the repre-
sentative mobiles of the nation, the gov
ernors Of the provinces and the heads
of the army.
Clad In his Magnificent robes Qined
with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage, and, with fitting
hauteur, slowly ascended the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low, and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch the
words from the royal lips, but his maj
esty found, to his chagrin, that the
roll was blank. The speech was long
and had not been committed to men,
ory.
1t was impossible to get through it
with the aid Of the prompter, for he
was too far away to render the need
full service. A bright thought passed
through the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as If to
gather the gist of the speech, he again
folded it and handed it back to the
chancellor with the command:
''You read it,
The chancellor was somewhat put
out, but dutifully took the roll and
opened it, only to discover the royal
pleasantly, whereupon, again rolling
the parchment up and taking from his
breast the resplendent tin order, he
laid them together at the kings feet,
with:
"Your majesty, as cannot read the
speech, tender my resignation" and
walked off the stage.

Lazy, Happy and Penniless.

The Porto Rican men, especially those
Of the lower class, are apt to be idle and
lazy and to lounge around the house
while the women work. The women
and children have the privilege Of doing
their own farming, begging, stealing,
and vending. They are happy, content
ed, and hungry when they have no
money, and they are as hungry, happy,
and contented when they have money.
In fact, they never have money, If
they need dollar, and they can get 1t
by working one day, they will work one
day. If they get so cents a day, they
will work two days. Contact with the
Americans has aroused their cupidity,
but has not stimulated their activity,
and they think now that one days eff
fort should be as productive as two
were formerly. The American occu-
patton and the enhanced purchasing
power of the money has, therefore, re-
duced the necessity for working one
half.
The men gamble when they have a
few cents, and they always lose. How
they are all successful in this direction
Is one Of the unexplained mysteries, but
they all go broke, and they are all hap.

GREAT JUMPING pY A MULE.

Over q Manger and Through an Open.
ing 21x3O Inches in Size.
A most remarkable story, the truth of
which is vouched for by Maj. B. r. Sell
den, the well-known street car man,
and several Of his employees, concerning
two full-grown mules jumping through
a small window in the old horse car sta
bles in Manchester, has just come to
light. The story, as related by Maj.
Selden, and sworn to by several of the
most reliable men in his employ, is as
follows:
The blacksmith, Henry cambridge
(who has since died) was required to go
to the stables daily to examine and re-
place all shoes that had become loose or
been lost while the mules were at work.
On the occasion referred to above he
had purchased a new sheepskin apron,
which the mules had never seen, and
when cambridge went into the stall
without warning, one Of them, "Bet,
became alarmed at the sight Of the
leather and leaped through the open
window to the ground outside.
Maj. Selden says he came In about
this time, and upon learning the cause
Of the excitement, ordered the man to
go back into the stall, and when he
started the mule reared up and was
about to repeat the performance. He
feared the mule might not be so for
tunate in the second jump and told the
man to come out of the stall.
The Maggie mule, says Maj. Selden,
jumped through window the same
size on the opposite side of the stable
and as far as he could discover, upon
close examination, neither Of them re-
ce1ved the slightest scratch. He says
tracks were plainly visible on the out
side where the "Bet' mule landed and
made an effort to turn and again face
the window, she being still haltered to
scantling on the inside. The halter
chain, four feet long, was attached to q
beam four and a half feet above the
floor on which the mule stood.

The Het.chen I,souirer, Mstucnen, N. Y.

The Metuchea Inquirer, Metuchen, N. Y.
It seems remarkable that disease
that had caused nearly half century
of suffering could be cured with few
dollars worth of a popular medicine,
but the fact has been strikingly dem
onstrated in the case of the wife of

ligious publisher Of ~ Bible House,

is at Metuchen, N. J., and when Eeen
there Mrs. Jewett related the follow
ing story:
''I was taken with rheumatism when
I was twenty years old, and endured
awful suffering from the disease for
nearly fifty years.

and was at times almost unbearable.

standing. have recommended them
