A London tailor has invented a
new life saving coat and CATERS,
with which it is possible for a per-
son clothed therein to maintain al
upright position when immersed in
the water, even if not possessing any
knowledge of swimming. The coat
resembles in appearance an ordinary
pilots coat, but it is fitted with an
air belt which is inflated with air
through tube. The CATERS each
weigh two pounds and are fitted
with two brass wings or blades fas-
tened to the back of the heel. AS
the wearer moves his feet iii the
water these wings open and shut,
and not only propel the wearer
along like oars, but enable him TO
maintain an upright position from
the waist upward in the water. a
practical demonstration of the util-
itv of the invention was recently
undertaken in the Thames by the
inventor, and it's efficiency and life
saving qualities clearly shown, even
when moving against the Aide.

How Pekina Io Not Liuhted.

Emil Bard, French writer, tells
how Picking is lighted, as follows
eighty thousand taels ($50,400)
are assigned each year for street
lights. The official in charge takes
10000 taels as his share and gives
the rest to subordinate. This lat
ter hands over 10000 taels to his
inferior, and so on, until the original
sum is reduced to a few copper cash,
given to a cody to buy oil and a
wick. These are placed on a plate
on the ground. A bcggar comes
along and drinks the oil-and such
is the lighting Of Pelling."

"There was a long wait in the

Yankee said:

THREE E A A DAY.

A man can't live on love alone,
A man can't live on thoughtj
A man can't live IN liberty,
No odds how dearly bought;
All these are nothing to a man.
| don't care what you say
Unless he manages to get
Three good square meals a day.
A man can lose his pile entire
An never turn a hair;
But il the ham and eggs are cold
There's birthstone in the air.
A mar can lose his hair and teeth
And friends and still be gay,
If ne is fixed so he can get
Three good square meals a day.
A mar can wear a smiling face
Above a broken heart;
A man ian grin an bear the pain
When fondest hopes depart
The only thing that downs a man
And puts him out to stay
Is separating him for keeps
From three square meals a day.
Now, some want gold and-some wan
fame,
And some want liberty;
But all mankind in ev'ry cline
On one great want agree.
For be they slaves or emperors,
Young lads or sages gray,
There's not a one OF them but wants
Three good square meals a day.
