A certain politician, lately condemn- ing the Government for its policy con- cerning the income tax, is reported to have said: ‘‘Yhey’ll keep cutting the wool off the sheep that lays the golden eggs until they pump it dry.”

An orator at one of the university

Lhe present Duke of Leads is reported ‘to have aveused the late Government of making a direct attack on the brewers ‘by means of a side wind. It was during the late Administration that one of the Irish whips telegraphed to Dublin that “the silence of the Irish members would be heard in the House of Commons no ‘longer.”’

It was the celebrated Sergeant Arabin who, at the Central Criminal Court, in- formed the prisoner before him that “e there was a clearer case of aman robbing his master that case was this case;’’ and, after passing sentence, concluded, “I, therefore, give you the opportunity of re- deeming a character irretrievably lost.’’

In the Irish House of Commons of 1795, during a debate on the leather tax, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Join Parnell, observed that ‘‘in the prosecution of the peasant war every one ought to be ready to give his last guinea to save the remainder of his fortune.’’ Mr. Vandeleur replied that '‘‘a tax on leather would press very heavily on the ‘barefooted peasantry of Ireland."

Atarecent temperance gathering an orator exclaimed: ‘‘The giorious work will never be accomplished until the good ship Temperance shall sail from one end of the land to the other, and with a cry of ‘Victory!’ at each step she takes, shall plant ber banper in every city, town and village of the United States.’’ Another speaker said that *‘All along the untrodden paths of the future

would receive but little consideration, yet there are diseases of poultry that are equally incurable, such as malignant roup, a term often used when the real disease is tuberculosis or some form of scrofula, Sick birds and animals cannot be nursed and given medicine every hour, yet when remedies are suggested, which antail too much labor to be administered frequently, fail to cure, the fault is

ascribed to mistake in the selection of |

the remedy, when no cure can be effected ander any circumstances. When a conta:

| gious disease appears in a flock it is safer

and cheaper te destroy every one of the birds and begin with new stock, but a sufficient length of time should be allowed in order to thoroughly disinfect the entire premises to guard against the : disease at some future time, as there ‘may be germs remaining ready for other victimes.

It is not pleasant to destroy a whole | hock, but it can be done with less ex- ' pense than to have the flock slowly de- stroyed by disease.

One of the marine curiosities recently fished from the bottom of the Indian ocean by a dredging vessel in the employ of the Calcutta Society of Natural His- tory was a mammoth sea erab which continually emitted a bright white light, similar to that seen in the spasmodic dashes of phosphorescent luminosity kindled by common glowworms, The oddity was captured in the day-

Gunpowde?'s First Use.

People outside of military life who have no connection with the making of gunpowder know it only as a coarse, black powder like sand, which will flash off with a loud report if shut up ina case of any kind and set on fire. It isa very queer mixture, made up of three simple and well-known substances, no one of which will expiode, although two will burn. No one knows when or how it was discovered, for as tar back to the dark ages as records or tradition will carry us we tind that gunpowder, though not used for guns,was known. It was, no doubt, looked upon with ay» and fear by the ancients on account of its flame, its noise and its rending force, but their limited mechanical skill could suggest very little use for it.

Possibly it was used in warfare long before the beginning of history, but the first man in historical times to form an idea of the terrible destruction which this awful. bursting, fiery substance might produce was an English monk named Roger Bacon. Monks in his day were the chemists, scholars and writers of the world, and this Roger Bacon traveled and studied much and made continual experiments in his laboratory to prove for himself and to develop what he learned from others. He probably saw gunpowder among the Moors in Spain, and tried for himself its explosive effect. Then he wrote of its composition in the year 1267, and in his writings suggested that it could be used in engines of war to deal death and destruction to armies of men.

Soon after Roger Bacon’s time his sug- gestions were taken up and guns were constructed, first by binding iron bars together with hoops, to form 4 tube, then by casting a tube out of brass, with one end closed. Stones of suitable size and the powder had to be carried around in chests or barrels and shoveled into the muzzle: of the guns. In spite of these drawbacks, very large guns were built, for there was one used by Mokammed II. against the Greeks at the siege of Constantinople in 1453, which threw a stone weighing 600

nonchalanes of a man going to a wed- ding feast instead of heing the subject of his own funeral.

He took his seat in the fatal chair, but refused to wear the white cap, with openings for the eyes, which was at- tached as a cowl to his robe. The execu- tioner deftly arranged the collar around

the man’s neck, All was ready ina moment and the executioner gave a turn of a screw and bore down aa lever.

In five minutes a physician made an ex- amination of the grinning corpse in the chair and declared life extinct. The body was removed by the four attendaats and thrown behind the platform upon which the garrote stood.

The others, who were colored men. were dispatched in the same way, but were longer in dying than their white companion. Their bcdies were thrown on the ground, to be buried, it was said, in a pit, where the bodies of all victims are thrown and covered with quicklime. The executioner is a life prisoner, who is paid $17 in gold for each man gar- roted, which he is allowed to spend upon himself. He was dressed in black, with stripes of white on the back of his coat, such as priconers in the penitentiary wear. Three months previously he had per- formed his first work as an exocutioner. He bungled the job so badly that his predecessor, a powerful black man, was called in to fiaish the job.

Compressed Alr for Street Nailways. The fact that French engineers have been testing compressed air for car trac- tion purposes for the last fifteen years, bas been recently adduced as an argu- ment in favor of this system. M. B. Abdank, a leading authority on the past and present condition of street practica in France, states that after every con- ceivatle means of street car propulsion, including ordinary methods, superheated steam and compressed air, have been tried, each, with one exception, electri- cjty, has been or will shortly be aban- doned. ‘he superheated system he con- siders dead, although it is continued in many places because of the great cost that would be involvei in making a change. Although the compressed air system is in larger use, he pronounces the same verdict upon It. No better con- firmation of this opinion could be made than that shown by the present statns of the several systems in use in France. Although the trolley system was intro- duced but three years in that country, it runs already over 500 miles, while there are at present but forty-one niles of compressed air roads, although that sys- tem «vas establishei in 1881, There has not been added a single compressed air line since the trolicy asserted its supert- ority. ‘Ihe mileage of superheated steam roads is even smaller than that of com- pressed air roads. The downfall of com- pressed air traction M. Abdank attrib- utes to the troliey, the repair cost alone on air motors used in France being enor- pous. M. Andunk rogards the cable system as antiquated and doomed soon to become obssiete. American manufac- turers of electric railway apparatus are urged to study the conditions now exist- ing throughout France, and especially in Paris, where the gen-ral introduction of both underground avi overhead trolley systems is likely to take place before the opening of the International Exposition of 1909.

Tobacco is Increasing Color Blindness.

“Color blindness is on the increase,’ said Dr. D. L. Bliss, of New York. “The causes of this defect in vision that may be otherwise perfect are not all very well understood. It would seem that the use of tobacco had a good deal to do with it, I have examined a great many for color blindness, having on sev- eral occasions been employed by railroad companies to do so, and in every instance where the man examined was found to be color blind he was a user of tobacco. Women are seldom afilicted in this way, hence it must be caused by something that men do which women do not. What cases exist among women will be found to be inherited from male ancestors.. I have never known a woman to be color blind whose father was free from the defect. Lama smoker and my percep- tions of coler are unusually good, so that it is not impossible that a man may use tobacco without such an effect, but I believe a large proportion of the cases are caused by tobacco.’’— Washington Star.

The old-fashioned methol of teaching ; swimming by means of a belt anda rope running on a wire over the bath is still im vogue in many swimming schools, and has survived many more pretentious systems. A somewhat elabor- ate-lonking machine has been invented for this purpose which is said to be of great assistance to the swimming pupil. The machine is a series of strong metal rods on which the pupil is placed. These rods move in snch a way as to cause the pupil to make all the motions of swim. ming. When the habit of striking out
