Schneider building closed by Injunction

Sample bottles of liquids found in
the place were exhibited in court but
the court decided that the evidence
was sufficient to hold. The court, how
ever, modified the order to the extent of
allowing Mr.. Schneider to remove his
barber fixtures and certain merchan-
disc but none of the bar fixtures or

The force of natural and instructive
pride in ones country has been end
lessly expressed in literatures Of all
times and climes, but rarely more dra-
matically than in the following little
incident:
Grieg. as every one knows, is the
musical idol Of all Norwegians, al
though 1t has been the fashion Of less
talented outsiders to underrate him.
One Of the most indefatigable Of these
detractors was the German composer
Bargiel, a man Of an i~nstinctively jeal-
GUS nature. ~
One day one of his pupils, a Norwe.
gian girl, brought for her lesson a con

A Surprise That Rufisd an Absent.
minded Scientist.
A certain foreign scientist who lec-
tured in this country was, to say the
least, careless about dress. Once he
was asked to lecture in q city not far
from Philadelphia. He went, taking
with him his dress suit and no other
suit. Having given his lecture, he
spent the night at the house Of q fel-
low professor, woke up the next MORN
ing, cheerfully donned the dress suit
and sailed forth to give another lee
ture at the local college.
He didn't know just where the COL
lege was, but, spying an imposing
looking building not far from his
hosts residence, decided that that was
it. While walking toward the door he
suddenly saw an ant hill. Bugs were
his speciality. He dropped at once to
his knees, dress suit and all, and start
ed to scoop out ants.
The next thing he knew he was sur
rounded by a body Of men who had
rushed out from the imposing looking
building. They seized him roughly
and proceeded to drag him indoors.
He gesticulated. He protested in many
languages. It vas Of no avail. At last,
however, explanations were forthcom-
ing.
The imposing looking building was
none other than the lunatic asylum.
Seeing a man attired in a dress suit
digging up ants at 10 o'clock in the
morning, the attendants had thought
that an inmate had escaped; hence the

MI. Grillkillton, twill step off a curb,
step down about a foot and break a
leg, and then another man will fall off
the top Of a seventeen story house and
not even muss his clothes. And it's
about the same way with watches.
Il dropped my watch the other day
about six inches on to a thick plush
carpet, and it cost me SIG for repairs.

friend Bwillkwillby this morning he
dropped his watch on the sidewalk,
and it didn't sc much as stop it.

a safe falling out of a high window,
and it was only a two dollar watch,
and I expected, of course, to e Bwill-

sidewalk and pass on, but it seems
Bwillkwilby knew the watch better.
He picked up the crystal, not even
cracked, from where it had flown, sew
en- feet away, and put that in his peck
ct, and then he looked at the watch.
1T was going all right, but some
how in the fall the long hand had got
bent. He Strengthened out that bent
hand with his p~ocketknife SO that the
two pointers wouldn't catch, and then
he pried off the crystal rim Of the
watch and put the crystal back in

Tho Complaint That 10 Made by a
Piano Manufacturer.
The piano manufacturer was talking.
"A fortune of a million dollars, at
least" he said, awaits the man who
a invent a varnish which will re-
spond to changes Of temperature in
exactly the same rate at which wood
responds.
Everybody who ever has made or
owned a highly polished article of fur
niture knows that the surface is liable
to break into small cracks-become
finely crackled-and thus its beauty is
lost. This cracking is caused by the
fact that sudden changes Of tempera-
ture affect varnish - especially fine
piano varnish-almost instantly, while
the wood beneath contracts or ex-
pands at a different rate. This splin-
tiers the varnish, and thus far no man.
ufacturer has been able to get the
best Of the situation.
1--WE are waiting for this entirely
possible elastic varnish, which, when
1t shall come, will be more welcome to
the manufacturers of fine furniture
than the flying machine is to the world
at large. A piano, delicate as it is,
could be stored in an icehouse without
detriment to its polished surface, pro-
vided the temperature was kept even,
but changes, especially If sudden, are
fatal to the beauty Of the CASE
