A Vacuum Pressure Experiment..

Chemical science has taught us how
to overcome the dreaded diseases that
have swept away whole cities in the
past. 1t has taught us the manufac-
ture Of explosives and munitions Of
war and has made possible the greatly
improved modes Of travel, and it may
be truly said that to chemistry we owe
the most material progress the world
has made
While this little experiment will not
deal with the hidden secrets that live
in the famous laboratories or treat
upon the mystic powers of viscosity
and relegation, it will show what pow
er the absence Of air has in attracting
movable substances into the place that
has been vacated by the air. Few
think when they breathe the atmos-
phere that surrounds them that it has
a pressure of fifteen pounds to the
square inch or that it can attract even
a piece of iron into the space which it
leaves.
For an example of the strength of air
take any tumbler, fill it about half full
of tissue paper, set fire to the paper,
turn over the glass in basin contain
ing water about one-half inch deep and
then watch the water ascend the in
terror of the glass.

water, put swill in his overcoat pocket,
threw water over him as he went
downstairs, put pepper in his bed,

do his washing, wouldn't mend his

hours at a time to annoy him, put
grease on his Sunday clothes, wouldn't

remaining on the bill. Pointing to it,
the man said to the waiter:
do you serve those on toast?" And
the waiter promptly replied:
They're on the bill, sirr'-New York

CABOT.

Friday morning at four o'clock, the
alarm OF fire was sounded and it was
soon discovered that the carriage shops
were on fire. The fire company was
soon on hand with the engine, but
the fire had made such progress that it
could not be checked and they then
turned their attention to saving the
buildings near consisting of a barn,
lumber shed and house, while the citi-
zens went to work clearing the shop
OF wagons. stock and machinery, a large
portion OF which was saved. tits thought
the fire originated from the chimney, as
1t was FIRST seen bursting out of the roof.
So rapid was the progress that in two
hours the whole structure was consumed
with an old blacksmith shop that stood
about 80 feet distant. A portion of these
shops was built by Jason Britt in 1855
Tor a carding machine and clothing
works; in 1874 large addition was
built and the whole used as carriage
mandatory in the name of the Cabot
Carriage Company which run three or
four years and closed up i've or six years
ago. 1t was bought by CHI. Vittey, the
present owner, who has established a
safe and good business. The loss falls
heavily upon Mr.. Vittey, as he has estab-
llsbed a good business through this
whole section for building large heavy
wagons and now has large number of
orders on hand for this month. He car
rled an insurance of $1,000 in the YER

agency. At the present time he is unde
clded whether to rebuild or not

At Antietam, just after the artillery
had been sharply engaged, the Rock
bridge Wa) battery was standing
waiting orders. General Lee rode by

driver about seventeen said to him:

Think of such question from such
a source to the general of the army,
especially when that generals name
was Lee!

Spoke Too Soon.

Alexandra Dumas was one day the
guest of DR.. Gistal, leading practi-
toner in Marseilles. After dinner,
while the coffee was being handed
round, the host requested the great
novelist to enrich his album with one
of his witty improvisations.
Certainly" replied Dumas, with a
smile, and, drawing out a pencil, he
wrote under the eyes of his entertainer
the following lines:
Since DR.. Gistal came to our town
To cure diseases casual and hereditary
The hospital has been pulled down.
"You flattererw here exclaimed the
doctor, nightly pleased; but the poet
went on:

The Worm Turned.

He loved her devotedly. He was also
bowlegged. Both facts gave him pain
at times.
He passed it by with rueful smile
when she merrily said that his Attic
ton gave him such an arch look and
that, after all, he was pretty good
sort when you got on to his curves.
He bore it patiently when she referred
to his walk as parenthetical progress.
But he rebelled and broke the engage
ment when she called her pet dog
through the wicket formed by his legs

Mrs. Alexander Hamilton had the
first ice cream in the city of Washing
ton. She used to tell with amusement
of the delight with which President
Andrew Jackson first tasted it. Guests
at the next White House reception
were treated to the frozen mystery,
and great was the fun of the initiated
when they saw the reluctance of 9TH
ers to taste the cold stuff. Those from
the rural districts especially eyed it
suspiciously, then melted each tea
spoonful with the breath before swal-
lowing it. The next time they had a
chance they ate it with delight.
