paratus works as follows: Two vessels,
one containing wine known to be
pure, the other the same quantity OF
the wine to be tested are placed on an
instrument outwardly resembling
pair of scales. The telephone is in
contact with both liquids. If the sam
pie of wine under observation is as
pure as the standard used for compari-
son no sound is heard; if, on the con-
trary, it contains water, the telltale
telephone "speaks," and the greater
the proportion of water the louder the
instrument complains. A dial on
which number of figures are marked
is connected with the telephone. To
ascertain the proportion of water in
the wine tested, the operator moves a
hand on the dial until the telephone,
which has been speaking" all this
time, lapses into silence. The hand
has thus been brought to a certain fig
ure on the dial. This number is then
looked up in chart which the ingen-
ious and painstaking inventor has
drawn up, and corresponding to it is
found indicated the exact proportion
of water contained in the quantity of
wine.

Yet fate to her torture wheel bound

That there might linger and pine,
That the last title might have already
been bought.
That no baron or duke could be mine.

With no cOrOnet to wear ON my proud

My life must be barren OF pleasure!

The marble halls disappeared then,
And from the boarding house bed
sadly crawled
To wait on the table again.

Queer REVENGE.

"Speaking of queer revenge" said
an Englishman," remember how,
according to y friend OF mine, the ma
tives Of certain villages in India treat
their enemies.
"Do you know what they dof They
just get few handfuls OF rice and
sprinkle it on the roofs of the people
they hate.
"Then what do you think happens2
Why, then the monkeys come focking
down from all the trees on to that roof
after the rice. They eat all there is
on the surface OF the roof, and then,
to get at the stray grains that have
lodged in the crannies, they begin to
pull the shingles off. Wherever there
is q grain to be seen far down in some
crack or other place they pull the roof
up TO get at it, and finally, 10 and be-
hold, there is no roof left! The mon.
keys have torn it all away. Then the
man who spread the rice laughs subtly,
for he has had his revenge, and yet no
one knows and he cannot be punished"

MattersOn's Prophesies.

Colonel Henry Watterson, speaking
at a dinner recently given him by the
Binghampton, N. Y, Press Club, said
FIFTY years from to-day Germany
will bear the same relative position to
the United States that Holland does
now. Fifty years from to-day, unless
the United States places sustaining
hands under John Bulls arms, God
knows what will become of him.
"The Monroe doctrine or Republi-
canism are no longer on trial; it is
monarchy that is in danger. The
President OF the United States to-day
has teufold more power than the King
of England and the Emperor OF Ger
many.
"It accordingly may be we'll for US
to sit down and see what the Monroe
doctrine is. We have said that no
European power shall acquire territory
on tnlS COOtlOeQt.
"If we are going to protect every
little mongrel nation in order to up
hold the Monroe doctrine, why let's
pay Germany her debt and tell her to
get out. But if we start on this course
We will need an enlarged navy and a
large army.
"If I owned this government l
would take the Isthmus of Panama
and blow out a canal . mile wide. 60
as to let the two oceans flow together.
Then I would say TO England, Take
all OF Central America that you want
/ would greatly prefer to have England
and Germany in those countries than
