Why They Were Chem.

President Mckinley used to tell with
a good deal of amusement story
which related to his early days in the
law. On the way to and from his office
he was accustomed to pass a butchers
shop and for a long time was puzzled
10y certain notice which he saw
there
In the morning he would read, Good
pork sausages, 20 cents" On his re-
turn in the evening he would some
times find those sausages still 20 cents
pound. but more often the notice
was changed and the sign read, "Fine
pork sausages. 12''-Or sometimes 10
cents"
The matter he said. used to worry
him. Sausages were not of so perish
able a nature that they would not keep
till the next day. and he could not I'M
derstand ii. SO one evening he stop
ped at the shop, made some casual re-
mark and then inquired the price of
sausages.
Ten cents" said the shopkeeper.
But" replied Mr. Mckinley, they
were 20 cents this morning"
so they were. Mr. Mckinley" re-
piled the butcher. so they were. Then

10 cents is simply to get me a reputa-
ton for cheapnesS. See?"
The future president saw and was in
the habit of saying that a great many
regulations We're made in that way.

Poisoned to Save Expenses.

heavy log falling upon him. The doe
tors. to save his life. cut off his leg.
The mother came. apparently to help
TO nurse the lad. The patient, howev-
er. almost Immediately afterward died.
and expert examination showed that
his mother had given him arsenic. Her
reason. il is supposed. was to prevent
her son from the disgrace of reaching
the next world in a MANNED condition.
This is very strong point with the
Chinese, who always pickle an ampu-
tated member to have it buried with
them when they eventually die. In
this instance, the family being poor
and whole leg being difficult to pickle,
the simpler course was taken of poi
soning the boy, so that he and his leg
might go together.

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Principle Upon Which This Com mO d
ity Is ufactared.

itY Man ctZESu.
The principle upon which the manu-
facture OF ice is based is that gas
when compressed gathers heat enor-
mously. and if robbed OF this heat and
allowed to escape at future time 1t
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
ing heat from it's surroundings Am
monia gas is generally preferred TO
others because it can lie l;queiied with
comparatively little pressure. On re-
moving the water from common am
monia by dstillation anhydrous am
monia is obtained. This is compressed
by a combined steam pump and Il COM
preSSor, and the resulting lfQuefaction
induces heat. which is economical by
circulating water about the vessel or
pipe containing the liqueted ammonia.
Thus the ammonia is cooled and the
heat largely transferred to the water.
which is then pumped back TO the
boiler that supplies the steam pump.
The liquid ammonia is then carried in
d pipe to expansion coils that afford
plenty Of room for its evaporation,
when it begins to return to the gaseous
form anC to draw heat from its sur
roundings. which gradually reduces
the temperature. Proper vessels Of
water are placed in contact with the
expansion coils. and in due time ice
is formed.

They still Name the Cook.

queer custom. which prevails a no
ether court than that of Great Britain,
Is the announcement at the beginning
Of each course at dinner of the name
of the cook who has prepared the dish
eS served. The origin of this custom
dates back to the reign of King George
H.. who made a great favorite Of one
of his cooks, promoting him to the rank
of chief over the heads of all his SEN
iors. This. of course created great
jealousy. and every effort was made
to GUST him from royal favor by rem
dering him responsible for the failures
which were laid upon the kings table.
Greatly incensed thereby and fearing
to lose his post, he complained to the
king in person. who Immediately gave
orders that henceforth whenever a dish
was placed before him the name of the
cook responsible for its success or fail
ure should be announced in an audible
tone.

English JeMelers' TIickA

Many working jewelers. with whom
articles are left to repair are very
tricky individuals indeed, and women
are their chief victims. A great device
of the working jeweler, SO far as gold
chains go, is to take off the hallmark ed
fastening loops and to substitute for
these an exact imitation In metal, so
that these should always be most care
fully examined. In ladies lOckets the
jeweler fraud usually takes out the
gold inside rim which fastens the
glass. and of course he puts in q sham
substitute. Where an article sent to
him contains great number of toler-
ably small stones he will take one or
two of these out and put in imitation
articles specially made to deceiv, says
Woman's Life. A working jeweier has
been known to make pounds a week
by taking away the hallmarked cross
bars of gold alberts and replacing them
with brass. These remarks only. of
course, apply to the small number Of
black sheep to be found in this as in
every trade.

Pictorial Wash Lists

Pretty old inventions are our modern
wash lists. The old German house
wife had an odd way of keeping track
of the garments she gave out to be
washed. She had picture of each
article and wrote down the number of
everything opposite to it with ii piece
of chalk. which was rubbed out when
the article was returned, to be used
again the next week. 1t was really a
pictorial and perpetual wash list.
