“Claude asked his mother the other night for a lemon,” said Mr. Chipper- ly, ‘and then for the lump sugar. He cut the lemon in. two, and, holding one of the halves with the cut side up, he placed a lump of sugar on it, and pressed it dewn gently. The lemon juice that was freed by this pressure was absorbed by the sugar; the lump finally became saturated with it. As the juice near the sur- face was taken up by successive lumps, Claude liberated that in the deeper recesses of the lemon by squeez- ing, and so he made the two halves do for seven lumps of sugar, and it was evident that he found much en- joyment in the eating of them.
“After Claude had gone to bed I got a lemon’ from Mrs. Chipperley, and I got her to set out the lump sugar for me. I cut my lemon in halves, as I had seen Claude do; I pressed a lump of sugar gently against one of the halves, and I watched the sugar darken as the lemon juice rose in it, and, when it was completely filled, I ate it, and eating it I found myself quite in agreement with Claude touch- ing the merits of this simple combina- ticn.”*

Farragrt and the Torpedoes.
Because of their destructive character nothing is more demoralizing to an enen.y than torpedoes, and the moral effect of Le- ing equipped for this kind of warfare is not to be despised, especially where the ob- ject of » navy is, as it should be, to keep peace. Fear of torpedoes was al) that pro- vented the French from entering the Prus- sian harbors during the Franco-Prussian war and the Japanese from going up the river at Yalu. There was perhaps no cooler act of courage during our late war than at Mobile, where Farragut, only a moment after the Tecumseh had struck a torpedo and gone down before his eyes, shot forward with his flagship directly over the course where he knew the torpe- does had been planted for the destruction of his fleet, signaling, as he went, to the warning from the Brooklyn of ** Torpedoes ahead,’’ ‘‘ D—n the torpedoes !’’
Captain Mahan, ‘n his life of Farragut, writing of this passage of the Hartford over these torpedoes, says **the cases of the torpedoes were heard by many on board knocking against the copper of the bottom and many of the primers snapped audibly, but no torpedo exploded.’’ Farragut’s prompt action restored confidence to the wavering line, but had any one of the tor- pedoes exploded all would have been over. —Benjamin Micou in North American Review.

THE EXTRAORDINARY MAN, fe It Is Who Does the Right Thing at the Right Moment.
It is the extraordinary man who makes life bearable. The ordinary man is so con- stantly under restraint that everything he does is commonplace and uninteresting. To illustrate this point I am going to give an exact report of what happened en a Broadway car one day last week. A burly man got up to get off the car. In walking from the front end to the back he skillful- ly and impartially stepped on every foot that was in evidence. Every one on both sides of the car grabbed his toes and glared after the brute, but no one did any- thing. Just as the fellow reached the back step he carefully threw his full weight on both the feet of ar athletic. looking :en- tleman who was standing on the platiorm reading the paper. A moment later he landed near the sidewalk as the result of a venomous and correctly applied kick that

tent. Rushing back to the car he yelled:
“Say, mister, what do you mean by kicking me like that?’’
‘‘Did I kick you?’’ inquired the man who was reading the paper suavely.
‘You know blankety blank well that you did.’’
‘““Well,”’ drawled the man with the pa- per, ‘““when a man steps on one of my feet it doesn’t make any particular difference, but somehow when he steps on both of my feet it has a very peculiar effect on the flexor muscles of my legs, and I act in an sutomatic way. I have a general impres- sion that you stepped on both of my feet, and that that is what caused the whole trouble. In future, when yoa happen to be getting off the car I am on, if you will be kind enough to step on only one foot there will be nodanger of such an acci- dent as this.’’
Just then the conductor rang the bell and the car started. Within the next five minutes every sore toed person on the car got up and shook hands with the gentle- man who was reading the paper. He did exactly what they all felt like doing, but they were all too ordinary todo it, Ue was the extraordinary man.—-New York Journal.
PARISIAN ART FURNITURE,
Imitation Boulle and Vernis Martin Pieces Popular Nowadays.
Parisian art furniture is popular and no well furnished apartment is without its piece of Boulle or Vernis Martin, As a matter of fact, the genuine articles do not find their way into the shops, and if they did would de far beyond the purse of most buyers.
Andre Charlies Boulle, from whom the furniture obtains its name, was born in the royal palace in 1642 and spent his childhood im the court of Louis XIV, whe was his patron. His most elaborate achievement was the decoration of a series of apartments for the dauphin, Louis X V. Samuel) Bernard, the financier, paid Boulle 50,000 livres for making an inlaid desk.
Despite the high prices which his work brought, Boulle was always poor, for he was an enthusiastic collector of bric-a-brac and could not resist the temptation to ac- quire a fine specimen. At one time he was threatened with imprisonment for debt, but the king protected him. On Aug. 20, 1720, his rooms and workshop were burned and 406,000 livres’ worth of the rarest art treasures were consumed. The artist never recovered from the shock. He died in 1°32, leaving four sons to suc- ceed him, in all of whom, however, the peculiar genius of the father was lacking.
The Martins, from whom the popular Vernis Martin furniture takes its name, were painters of more than ordinary abili- ty and varnishers to the ruyal house of France. Robert Martin was the supposed discoverer of a special Jacquer, which, for a time, supplanted the precious varnishes imported from China and Japan. The Marquis de Pompadour paid 58,208 francs for the Vernis Martin work in the cha- teau of Bellerne, a sum now equal to $50,- 000.—New York Commervial.
