Tom Slater was as trifling a scamp as ever danced a jig or curried a mule. One dxy he went to Uncle Eli Parker, another negro, with a tale about what the white folks had been saying about him. He wanted sympathy. :

“‘Say,. Uncle Eli,’”’ said he, “‘what- cher reckon dem dar Campbells heen ’er Sayin "bout me?’’

“I doan’ know,’’ said Uncle Eli. “What dey say?’’

“Dey says, dey does, dat I’se triflin *m no ‘count ’n ain’ wuff shucks. ”’

“Does dey, chile?’’

““Yassir, ’"N day says more’n dat. Dey been tellin dat I steals howgs ’n chicis us 'n *backer.”’

“Well, well, chile, hit’s too bad, too bad.’’

Poet Stoddard aod the Can.

At the recent dinner in honor of Rich- ard Henry Stoddard ex-.Iudge Henry E, Howland told a story of how Mr. Stod- dard opened a tomato can, to illustrate the intense ardor wita which he opens a subject. Mr. Stoddard, he said, rent into the closet to open the can, and soon his wife heard him talking vigorously. ‘*‘What are you doing there, Mr. Stod- dard?’’ she asked. ‘‘Opening a tomato can,’’ he said. ‘‘ What with?’’ asked his wife. ‘With a knife,’’ replied Mr. Stoddard. ‘‘Did you think I was open- ing it with my teeth?’ ‘‘No,’’ she said,

**“but from your language I thonght ethat you were opening it with prayer.”’ +—Chicago Post.

Information.

Upguardson—What does this word sinecuré mean?

Atom—Well, ‘‘sine’’ means ‘‘with- oct,’’ and you know what ‘‘cure’’ means. The word signifies ‘‘incurable.’’

‘That doesn’t seem right. I’m read- ing here about a man who holds an office which seems to be a sinecure.’’

**That’s all right. When a man has once had an office of that kind, he’s in- curable.’’—Chicaugo Tribune.

The Woman.

“Yesterday,’’ said Jabson, ‘‘I refused @ poor woman a request for a small sum of money, and in consequence of my act I passeda sleepless night. The tones of her voice were ringing in my ears the whole time.’’

‘“Your softness of heart does yor credit,’’ said Mabson. ‘‘Who was the woman?’’

THES comune: .

_ The Orator Revealed. ae

Mr. F. P. Stearns, in his book of “Sketches From Concord to Appledore,”’ describes the occasion that revealed Phillips, the crator.

in October, 1887, he was married tc Miss Anna Green, a cousin te Mrs. Ma- ria Chapman. In November occurred the riot at Alton, Ills., and the assassin- ation cf Lovejoy. Dr. Channing’s first petition for an indignation meeting in

| Faneuil hall was refused by the author-

ities, but a second and more urgent one was granted. The audience was almost equally divided between the antislavery people and their opponents, who made the most noise and cCisturbance. It seemed as if the meetings would end iz confusic®.

“T went there,’’ said Wendell Phil- lips, 25 years later, ‘‘without the least intention of making a speech or taking any part in the proceedings. My wife aud Mrs. Chapman wislied to go, and ] accompanied them. I remember wear- ing a long surtout, a brand new one, with a small cape, as was the fashion of the day, and after the attorney genera) made his speech, denouncing Lovejoy as a fool, I suddenly felt myself inspired, and, tearing off my overcoat, started fox the platform.

“My wife seized me by the arm, half terrified, and said:

* “Wendeil, what are you going to do?’

**T replied, ‘I am going to speak, if ] can make inyzelf heard.’ ’’

The uproar wes so great that the chairman asked Dr. Channing if he could stand thunder. But the personal beauty of Mr. Phillips so surprised all hearers that they paused to listen to him

and were so charmed by his eloquence,

that they neglected to. make any further disturbance, The attorney general was wholly discomfited, and Dr. Channing’s resolutions were carried by a substan- tial majority.

Mr. Phillips was only 26 years of age when he delivered the spontaneous, magnetic speech which proclaimed him a Vigorous, original orator.

He Got His Dose.

The llama of South America is an ex- pert marksman, though it never uses its craft in the procurement of its food. Only when annoyed and angry does it give an exhibition of its wonderful skill in hitting the object aimed at. The Nama’s weapon is its mouth. Its bullet is composed of saliva and chewed hay.

Several years ago, at the fair grouncs in St. Louis, I witnessed an exhibition of this creature’s powers of expectors- tion, in which the victimn was a country beau, who came very near losing his sweetheart thereby. This roung mun was one of those self suficient individ- uals who imagine that knowledge sits enthroned in the temples of their own personal intellects; that what they dc not know is not worth knowing. He ‘was annoying the liama (the animal stood in the center of its pen, probably 15 feet or more from its tormentor) by throwing clods of dirt at it and by beat ing on the raila of the pen with his cane.

I saw by the creature’s actions that it was angry. The rapid movements of its jaws indicated that it was preparing to attack its versecutor. I warned the young man, telling him what to expect. His sweetheart begged him to desist and to come away. But he treated my warning With derision and told the gir! that he ‘‘knew his business.’’ Suddenly there came a whizzing, whistling noise, followed by asharp spat. The young wiseacre lay supine upon his back with his eyes and forehead plastered with a disgusting mixture of saliva, hay and mucus.

‘I hate a fool!’’ said the girl, as she shouldered her paresol and walked away.

I saw them again in the monkey house some time afterward, but the man was a changed being. He had learned his lesson in decorum. He had been taught modesty by the good marks- manship of a Nama.—Jumes Weir, Jr., in Lippincott’s.

A most interesting method of employ- ing the echo of a sound has been devised for the location of the carriers which sometimes become lodged in the under. ground pneumatic tubes. Knowing that sound travels at a speed of, roughly, 1,100 feet per second, and the time meas- ured in thousandths of a second between the firing of a pistol shot into the con- duit and the arrival of the echo at the outlet of the tube, a simple calculation gives the exact location of the obstruc- tion, T'> mean of five experiments in the rece..6 test gave 2,792 secc.ts, and when the sound velocity was corrected for air temperature the obstruction was located at 1,537 feet from the instru- mont, Which was the exact location. — Boston Trane-~ipt,

During the reign of Queci Elizabeth a rcligiens Lrotherhood known as the Exe Lerhood of the Most Glorious and Undivided frinity was directed by ar act of parliament to preserve ancien. sea minrks and to erect beacons fia “cigus of the sea.’’ For more thau 106 veurs this brotherhood kept up tke an- cient sea marks, but srected nothing ucw. Then they begaw fo purchase and operate lights owned by private indi- viduals or by societies, and still later they commenced to bnild lighthouses sud beacons. Finally, in 1856, parlia- ment gave ‘Trinity house the entire gon- trel of the lighthouses of Euglaud.— Licutenant John M. Ellicott, U. 8. N., in St. Nicholes.

IRON AND STEEL.

A large part of the finest fron and steel of commerce is made from magnetic ores.

A chemical authority states that silicon, as well as carbon, renders iron more fu- sible.

The hot blast was introduced into fur- mace use some time bettween i832 and 18388.

Mulhall says the United States produces one-third of the steel manufactured in tae world.

The iron deposited by the galvanic bat- tery ie grayish white and takes a beauti- ful polish.

The Bessemer method of manufacturing iron and steel was patented by Henry Bessemer Oct. 17 and Deo. 5, 1855, and Feb, 12, 1856.

The tensile strength of Austrian gun iron is 30,000 te 88,000 pounds per square: inch, of Russian 27,000 pounds and of

| Swedish about 34,000 pounds.

Iron ie more extensively used in medi- cine than any other mineral substance. There are hundreds of medical prepara- tions cf which it forms the prineipal part, and their number is constantly increasing.

In car wheels it is desirable to combine toughness of structure with an intensely hard rolling surface, and to this end the outside surface is sometimes case hard- ened or made almost as hard as ‘‘oold steel.’’

Chemists say that the blood of oxen contains a farger percentage of iron than that of. any other creature, and therefore beef is the most nourishing of animal food. Pills made of dried bullock’s. blood have been manufactured for use in medi- cine.

Until 1730 the smelting of iron was al- ways performed with charcoal, nor was its use wholly superseded in large foun- dries by coal and coke until 1788, and in- decd in many establishments and for sey- eral kinds of manufactured iron char- coal is still employed.—St. Louis Globe- Desnocrat.
