Did you ever hear Of any other machine
with such record?

The Rotary Hook displaces the old,
out-of-date, unmechanical and trouble
some shuttle.
The Frictionless ball bearings and per-
feet mechanical construction enable It to
be operated with one-third less exertion
than is required by ordinary machines.
1t sews three yards of goods while
shuttle machine sews two.
It makes the most elastic and most
perfect stitch whether sewing light a.
heavy goods.
With our superior attachments. the
greatest variety Of work is possible.

EDUCATING OYSTERS.
Training Schools In Which the Bi-
valves Are Taught Some Sense.

Training Schools In Which the BIZ
valves Are Taught Some Sense.
"a school for oysters said dealer
in fish, ''is an institution that you
would swear could not exist, for oys-
ters are notorious for their stupidity
1t is, however, a fact that there are
many oyster schools. l will explain
them to you In such a way that you
will believe in them. An'oysters intel
ligence is limited, but still it has intel
Iigence. Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that il you take an
oyster suddenly from its subaqueous
bed it opens its she'll whereupon the
life giving water inside it all escapes
and the oyster dies. But if you eX-
pose an oyster to the air gradually,
lifting it out of the water for a few
minutes and then returning it again, it
gradually learns that to keep It's shell
closed when out of the water is the
best thing for its health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained aud one unframed,
and the trained oyster, keeping its shell
closed while out of the water would
live a long time, while the unframed
one, opening its shell, would die in a
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full of water. Oysters
are put in them, and the water is drain
ed off and then returned again. 1t is
kept off for few minutes at first, then
for ten minutes, then for half an hour
and so on. Oysters in these schools
learn that they will live longest and
keep healthiest out of water if they
hold their shells tight shut. AS soon as
they learn this they are graduated and
go out into the world. Philadelphia

Microscopic Penmanship.

The subject of microscopic workman
ship really divides itself into two
classes-penmanship and mechanical
construction. History has handed down
to us many examples of this form Of
caligraphic mania, of which the chief
symptom is a desire to compress the
greatest number of words into the
smallest possible space.
Pliny the Younger declares that Cicero
once saw the 'Iliad" written so small
that it could be inclosed in a walnut
shell. This affirmation was regarded
as improbable until the seventeenth
century, when Huet, bishop Of
Avranches, France, an excellent Greek
scholar, proved that it could be ac-
complished.
The gospel of st. John and the Acts
of the Apostles were written within
the circumference of farthing in the
sixth century by an Italian monk.

Is There an American Face,

The English face, the Jewish face,
the Irish face, the italian face, the
Chinese face, the Japanese face, the
French face, the Indian face, even the
negro facial these have something
about them which calls up a definite
picture in ones mind. But the Amer
lean face has no strong characteristic
to differentiate 1t from other faces of
superior races, remarks London Health.
1t is international, for here and there
one may find the traces which suggest
relation to this, that or the other face.
1t may be line or a ligament be-
queathed by an early English ancestry,
or something suggestive Of Teutonio
origin, or sharp suggestion Of the
Frenchman's face or the Irishman's Or
the Italians or the Scotchman's. But
when one must deal with the American
abstractly one can scarcely call up the
American face.
Uncle Sam, with his striped trousers,
his sharply cut coat, his plug hat, his
whiskers and his bland, good natured
countenance, is a happy conception,
yet he may never hope to portray the
matchless and indescribable cosmopoli-
tanism of the American face.

as the chairmen scream for pass room.
The poles hit the pedestrian in the eye,

The Chinese as a people are modest
in their dress. The person is rarely
exposed. Women wear double breast

and men are usually covered. But

at the forge is stripped to the waist,

The Art of Listening.

There is a grace of kind listening as
well as a grace of kind speaking. Some
men listen with an distracted air
which shows that their thoughts are
elsewhere, or they seem to listen, but
by wide answers and irrelevant ques-
tions show that they have been occu-
pied with their own thoughts as being
more interesting, at least in their own
estimation, than what you have been
saying. Some interrupt and will not
hear you to the end. Some hear you to
the end, and forthwith begin to talk to
you about similar experience which
has befallen themselves, making your
case only an illustration of their own.
Some, meaning to be kind, listen with
such a determined, lively, violent at
tention that you are at once made I'M
comfortable, and the charm of con-
versation is at an end. Many persons
whose manners will stand the test of
speaking break down under the trial
of listening.

BURGLARIouS STARS.

Planets and Suns May Pick Up MinOs
Solar Bodies.
Jupiter is much the biggest member
of the family of stars which revolve
around our sun; consequently the pow
er of his attraction is greater than that
possessed, for instance, by the earth
Jupiter's exploits as a burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and inconvenience to astronomers in
the days before his powers were fully
recognized.
In 1770 there appeared a fine comet,
which was found to have an ellipticai
orbit round the sun of so comparatively
small a size that Mr.. LeXell, its discoy-
erer, calculated it would return in five
and half years, but in 1775 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear, and again
In 1871 1t disappointed all observers.
Mr.. LeXell plunged into fresh calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The un-
fortunate comet had been rash enough
TO plunge into the sphere of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that
1t had been completely diverted from
its former orbit and flung off into quite
a different one of twenty year period
1t has never been seen again by any
one on this earth and probably never
will be-
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return of
that splendid visitant known as Hal
ley's comet. Haley found that he was
not the first discoverer of this big COM
ct. 1t had appeared at least twice pre-
viously, once seventy-five years before
and again seventy six years before that.
The astronomer concluded that there
would be further delay in its third
return and predicted that its next ap-
pearance would be 51s days later. He
did not live to see II: But In 1853, the.
year he had prophesied for its reap
pearance, astronomers were waiting
for It,

Testing the Lungs,

Draw in as much breath as you con-
veniently can, then count as long as
possible in slow and audible voice
without drawing in more breath The
number of seconds must be carefully
noted. In consumptive the time does
not exceed ten and is frequently
less than six seconds; in pleurisy and
pneumonia it ranges from nine to four
seconds. When the lungs are sound
the time will range as high as from
twenty to thirty-fve seconds. To ex-
pand the lungs go into the air, stand
erect, throw back the head and shoul-
ders and draw in the air through the
nostrils as much as possible.
After having then filed the lungs
raise your arms, still extended, and
suck in the air. When you have thus
forced the arms backward, with the
chest open, change the process by
which you draw IN your breath, till
the lungs are emptied. Go through the
process several times day, and it will
enlarge the chest, give the lungs bet
ter play and serve very much to ward
off consumption.

Mufti and Gold Lace.

Officers of the army on duty in the
war department wear uniforms the
same as If they were on duty at mill
tary posts. The practice has resulted
in making nearly every room occupied
by officers a dressing room, where
wardrobes are kept. Most officers dis
like very much to appear on the street
in uniform; it makes them too con-
spicuous. Uniforms for use in the de-
partment are kept In wardrobe, and
the officers put them on when they
arrive in the morning, take them of
and don civilian dress to go to lunch
con, and upon their return in the
afternoon and departure for home
later go through the same process
They don't like it, but it is an order.
For people doing business at the de-
partment it is much better, for
stranger knows whether he is talking
with an officer or a clerk, and if IA
miliar with the emblems can tell the

incessant in bitter attacks upon Samuel

president of the Central Trust COM

upon Mr.. Tilden appeared unwarrant-
ed, and unless he could give some sat
isfactory explanation Mr. Spaulding
would discontinue taking the CONNER

Mr.. Hastings replied, "When 1 was

nips for horse radish, and he has been
doing it ever SINCE"

qualifications for fitness appealed to

that the candidate was in poor health

be of great benefit to him. Lincoln

Tattooing is still favorite personal
decoration with some of the natives of
Samoa, though not so fashionable there
as formerly. Those who practice the
art have an effective way of securing
their pay. The color extends from the
waist to the knees, no other part of the
body being marked In the small of
the back the design shades off to a
point which is never finished by the
tattooer till his bill has been paid. AS

Monkey and Parrot In Brazil.

In Brazil monkeys and parrots have
interests in common. They not only
roost in the same trees, but work for
mutual benefit The monkeys cannot
easily pick the big Brazil nut husks
from the trees, so the parrots gnaw
them loose, allowing them to drop, the
fall to the ground splitting them Then
the monkeys tear the cracked husks
asunder, gather the nuts and divide
them with the parrots Sometimes.
when the husks fail to split, the mon
keys carry them up to the highest
limbs of the tree and let them drop
again. Monkey and parrot enjoy their
harvest side by side.
