 Now, of course. Oracle loved her mamma very, very dearly; but the party had been uppermOst in her mind for so many days that 1t was a great disappointment to her when grandmamma told her 1t must be put of for a few days. She pouted and began to cry, or. as grandmamma put if, she "whlmpered and acted very ugly"
 Then, after grandmamma had returned to the room of the poor, sick mamma Oracle ran of into corner and began to think herself the most Injured little girl alive. And it was all because her party had to be postponed. She sat down on the floor and continued to pout and fret.

week.

One cold, winter morning a man
of tall and angular build was walk
ing down steep hill at quick pace.
A piece of ice under the snow caused
him to lose control of his feet; e
began to slide and was unable to
stop. At a crossing half way down
ne snco in tered a large heavy wom-
an. The meeting was sudden and
before either realized it( a collis-
lcn ensued, and both were sliding
down hill, the thin man underneath,
thr fat woman on top. When the
bottom was reached and the wom-
an was trying to recover her breath
and her feet, these faint words were
borne to her ear: Pardon me,
L adam, but you will have to get
off here. This is far as ! so."-Ar-

The Largest Scales.

The biggest scales in the country
are in the navy .yard TT NasninS. .oh.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by fifty tons. The lattice, are
not to be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are so ac-
curate that they come within pound
of the exact weight. Railway scales
are considered good if they come
within fifty pounds. All the large
ordnance manufactured for the navy
is weighed upon this machine, which
is some ten years old. The scales
look like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invis-
ible, the most intricate parts being
in a broad pit below the ground. The
platform is forty-eight feet long and
twelve feet wide. Beneath the pow
erful machinery is cement base
laid upon long piles. A solid base
being one OF the prime requisittN or
a powerful weighing machine, it was
found necessary to use pile driver
to secure a stable foundation.
The machine is regarded as the
finest Of it's kind in the world. and Is
g splendid achievement OF American
ingenuity. In order to show the ac-
curacy of the scales, an official pick
ed up half brick and tossed 1t upon
the platform. He then consulted
long brass lever, and found that the
brick weighed just one pound.
The capacity of the scales Is one
hundred and fifty tons. Two twelve
inch guns lying on forty-eight-foot
truck car can be weighed In the ma
chine without taxing its capaity.

A paper-hanging machine IS the
latest achievement, according to WIS
sen Fer Allie. The arrangement USED
for this purpose is provided with
rod upon which the roll of paper ls
placed. A paste receptacle with 4
brushing arrangement is attached IN
such manner that the paste is ap-
plied automatically on the back OF
the paper. The end of the wall pap
er is fixed at the bottom OF the wall
and the implement rises on the wall,
and only needs TO be set by one
worl:ingman. While the wall paper

held AGAINST the wall an elastic roller
follows on the outside and presses IT
firmly in place. When the wall pap
er reaches the top the workingman
pulls a cord, whereby it is cut OF

after this age for years they have

plished in Switzerland by rifle clubs,
which are encouraged by the State
