INT, Mr.. II. P. Lyme, In his statement

Some six or seven years ago my

me and said: I'VE had such a jolly

known to anybody, during the night,

replied: zone day, I'm afraid, you

laughed at me then; but, on our re-

Why do some animals store up fat
more readily than others? An Eng
lish professor claims that animals
having small lungs fatten easiest. He
says: "The disappearance OF food
from the system OF an animal is ow~
ing to a combustion of the food BY
means OF the air taken by the lungs.
The oxygen which has once entered
the system never again escapes from
It without being united either with
part of the body or Of the food. :"
That Is, large lungs burn up or
breathe away the food, while small
lungs save It.. This theory has :
plausible sound and Is supported IN
such illustrations as that OF thS pig
with It's small lungs and large fatten-
Ing powers, in contrast with the
horse. which has the opposite Quali-
ties. but there seem TO be various
objections 10 the general statemoAfs !

GreenhOrns as Inventors.


In 1897 carpenter of Sandwich,
Mass, wanting a piece of glass of a
peculiar size and shape, conceived the
idea that the molten metal could be
pressed into any form, much the
same as lead might be. Up to that
time all glassware had been blown,
either offhand or in a mold, and con-
siderable skill was required and the
process was slow. The glass manu-
facturers laughed at the carpenter,
but he went ahead and built a press,
and now the United States is the
greatest pressed glassware country
in the world.
In 1880 a novice in the plate glass
industry, Henry Fleckner, of Pitts
burg, whose only knowledge OF glass
had been acquired In window glass
factory, invented an annealing
'lehr," the most important single
improvement ever introduced in plate
glass manufacture. In three hours
by the lehr the same work ia done
which under the old kiln system re-
quired three days. In four years the
importations of foreign crown and
plate glass into the United States fell
in value from s2.OoO.O0O to 5000, 900.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast, of Pittsburg, also novice in
glassmaking, invented a process by
which bottles and jars may be made
entirely by machinery, the costly
blow-over process being avoided and
the expense of bottlemaking reduced
one-half. The result has been that
more bottles and jars are used In a
month now than in twelve months
ten years ago.--Cosmopolitan.

Tnlman Likes Roses.

AT his home in South Carolina SEN
ator Tillman is famous as gardener.
He produces, among other things. the
best asparagus and the finest roses
to be found anywhere in the State.
Like other South Carolina farmers,
Tillman raises corn and cotton. These
are staple products of that region.
Lately Tillman has made specially
of cuitiyating asparagus for the early
Northern markets. and his income
from this source Ia considerable. The
cultivation of roses amounts to pas
sion with the pitehfork advocate. In
his home garden he has no less than
$50 varieties Of tbem.---The Pilgrim.

Genesis of Burdett- Coutts' Fortune.


The death of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts throws ones thoughts back to
the lady from whom she inherited
her riches. Helen Melons career Is
one of the romances of the stage.
From a stroling player she became
first, the bride of the leading English
banker of his day, and, subsequently,
Duchess of st. Albans. In Sir Walter
Scott's journal for 1895 is an account
of a visit paid by Mrs. Coutts to Alb
botsford, with the duke, her suitor,
in her train. We may gain some idea
of how people travelled in the pre-
railway era when we read that the
wealthy widow for this Scottish tour
required no fewer than seven car
riages. With three only of these she
came to Abbotsford.
Sir Walter was evidently interested
in the Forthcoming union, which, like
a more recent union, had its critics.
On November 25 he writes: Mrs.
Coutts. with the Duke of st. Albans
and Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, called
to take leave of us. When at Abbots-
ford his suit throve but coldly. +.
She had refused him twice and de-
cidedly. What then? II
the duke marries her he ensures an
immense fortune; II she marries him
she had the first rank. II he marries
a woman older than himself by TWEEN
| ty years, she marries man younger
In wit by twenty degrees" Sir Wal
ter. very shrewdiy, goes to the heart
OF the matter. Eighteen months later
Mrs. coutts became the duchess, a
dignity enjoyed by her for ten years.
