cabman Felt He Owed Debt.

The Rev. s.. Parlses Cadman Of
Brooklyn tells story of how a cab
man OF this city once refused to &C
cept pay for his services. DIR. Cad
man had been calling on Bishop Pot
ter. After arriving at the ferry on his
way home he rendered the usual fee
to the man who had driven him down.
The man declined to take 1t, and a
beautiful smile lit up his tanned feat
ures.
"Pd like to know why you won't
take this money" said the clergyman.
'T1l tell you," came the answer. II
once heard you preach in the Metro
politan Temple, and at the close Of
the service you laid your hand
on my shoulder and said to me,
For Gods sake be a man. had been
a drunken sot for years, but that set

loo Francs for Kings Umbrella.


The king of the Belgians once left
his umbrella in hanson when driv.
ing in Brussels. This was returned
to his majesty few hours afterward
by the proud "cabby," who was offered
for his honesty by King Leopold the
sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehu,
however, begged great favor of the
king. Could he have the umbrella
instead of the money? The favor was
granted, and before many days had
passed the cabman mad put up the
umbrella for sale, and it was knocked
down to some royal enthusiast for
400 francs. When King Leopold
heard of this he exclaimed: well,
rye heard of an umbrella being put
up to keep off showers Of rain; but
this seems to have been put up to
airing down showers of gold!"

ing taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user Of the cleo
tricity produced by the waters Of the
mighty river Is the concern which by
the five or six thousand degree heat OF
the electric furnace brings lime and
coke into unwilling union, thereby pro-
ducing what is known as Calcium Car
bide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so
much broken rock. but in contact with
water it springs into activity and be-
gets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach to
sunlight known.
These facts, though of comparatively
recent discovery, were soon seized BY
men with an eye to the commercial
possibilities and to-day calcium carbide
is being shipped everywhere and used
for dispelling darkness in buildings of
all descriptions, ffcm the ordinary barn
of the farmer to the country villa of
the wealthy, as well as for lighting
the streets of large number of towns.
Acetylene can be easily and cheaply
installed, and the manufacture and sale
of aeetylene generators has become q
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is stead
lily growing.

In the Land Of Ah.slna.

In the Celestial Empire curious Gus

On every side strange usages abound,
and here we notice one peculiar little
ceremony.

is unwell procures straight branch
with few twigs and leaves at the

business conditions continue TO ex-

Uses well for the future. Reports from
the leading branches of manufacture
are unanimous in telling of an increas-

of idle machinery steadily diminishes.
Textile plants made the best returns,

are engaged so far ahead that capacity
is extended. Better prospects for the

Cheaper Than a Lawsuit

In Perak unsettled disputes may be
dealt with by the ordeal of diving.
The pleadings upon either side are
sealed up in two similar bamboo
tubes. Two stakes are then driven
into the bed of a pool in river, to
which two boys are tied, immersed
10 the neck, and each holding one of
the tubes.
When all is prepared, a pole stretch
ed horizontally above the heads of the
boys is pressed downward, forcing
both under water. Each lad holds
out beneath the surface as long as he
possibly can by gripping his post.
The moment one hobs up to
breathe, he is set upon, and his tube
is torn from him and flung away. The
other boy is led ashore, where his
tube is opened, and the party whose
pleadings it contains is declared by
the rajah to have won the case at
