Xerxes Jones determined to quit smoking, not you know, that it had any baneful influenoe upon his health, but solely for tbe reason that ho didn’t feel justified in spending twenty-fire cents a day for the weeny luxury, Jones had a good disposition and began his new scheme on Sunday. “Seeing I’ve quit smoking, Til put an extra quarter in the collection box to-day,” he mused, and in the money went Monday, just to please his little wife, good Jones bought a forty-oent box of mixtures and handed it over to his wife with the remark: “No, my dear, it’s no extravaganee. Just about what I saved on cigars to-day, and we both can enjoy this after tea.” Tues day Jones bought a fifty-cent toy for his little boy out of the cash saved by abstinence from tobacco. Wednesday he changed his dining place down town from a twenty-five cent place to a fifty-cent table d’hote, feeling justi fied in spending the extra quarter saved on cigars. Apparently forgetting this Thurs day, the reformer remarked to him self: “There’s that new umbrella my wife’s been talking about. Til buy that and charge it up to two weeks’ savings on Bmoke.” Friday a new dinner set was purchased to please the wife of his heart, and set over against twenty weeks’ savings from tobacco and Saturday Xerxes Jones spent 25 cents for cigars, hav ing lost six days of his luxury, and figured up that he had saved on the wrong side of his books just about $718.90. LITTLE SKULL OP GLASS. t Boston Man's Ingenious Bevies for Pre venting Poisoning Accidents. The unlabeled poison bottle is as bad as the unloaded gun for causing fatalities. Carelessness at home will render useless the utmost vigilance of the drug clerk who relies upon the warning label required by law to be pasted on all poisonous prescrip tions. To obviate this danger a man living in the suburb of Boston known as Jamaica Plains has made a bottle which very effectually conveys the necessary information'as to the dead ly nature of its contents, so that not only he who runs may read but be who cannot read may understand. The bottle is of blue glass, in order that the contents may better resist being affected by light," and it is molded into the shape of a skull, with cross-bones underneath. The word “poison” is placed in raised letters on the forehead, and at the base of the skull a snace has been left for the red label that tells the nature of the drug. The hollow evesockets, the jawbones and the teeth would tell its purpose to a blind man, and ghastly as it may seem to those who are blessed with sight, it is better to be frightened than to die. That at least is the philosophy of the inventor, and he is not a druggist, or doctor, by the way, but a plain, every day jobber in boots and shoes. ENGLISH ORTHOEPY. The Work That Is Being Done bp a Prl Tate Tutor of Foreigner*. Jn the national capital is a private tutor of English to foreigners who trains them in the idioms of pronun ciation with this chain of similarly spelled words: “Though the tough cough and hiccough plough me through.” The result is humorous as these samples of the efforts of the pupils will show: “Tho the to co and hicco plo me throw Thuf the tuf cuf and hiccuf pluf me thru! Thof the tof cof and hieoof plof me throf. Thup the tup cup and hiccup plup me thrup. Thoo the too coo and hiccoo ploo me throo.” It is not surprising that Voltaire, when he began to study English and learned that ague was pronounced as two syllables and plague as one,, should have wished that half of the English had the one disease and the other half the other. Burning Mountain of CoaL At Winger, in New South Wales, there is a burning mountain. It is 1,820 feet in height, and is supposed to be a large coal seam which has in some unaccountable way become ignited, and has been burning for many years, certainly long before the advent of the white man in this por tion of the colony. The course of the fire can be traced a considerable dis tauce by the numerous depressions or chasms occasioned by the falling in of the ground from beneath which the coal has been consumed. Smoke is continually issuing from the sides of the mountain, and in the vicinity of these openings the surface is hot, and has a dry, parched appearance, while sticks thrust into these openings are readily ignited. Rather a Knowing Cat. J. W. Moses, of Megquier Hill, has an unusually intelligent cat, called Isaac, who is very fond of fresh fish. Recently while the cat was lying on the floor a member of the family said to it: “Isaac, do you want us to go u-flshing?”and then added,“If we had a frog for a bait wo would go." On this old Isaac got up with a knowing look and trotted out, only to return in a few moments with a good-sized frog, which he had caught in a w ale near by. Never Touched Him. A little fellow had been seriously lectured by his mother and finally sent into the garden to find a switch with which he was to be punished. He returned soon and said: “I could not find a switch, mamma, but here’s a stone you can throw at me." HIS MARK. Thl« Arm Ways of Dlvtingulihlnff the Professional AlmcAilur. "Say, fronts, can’t you give a poor fellow a few cents to get something to eat? Haven’t had a bite all day. Can't you give a poor fellow a few cents to get something to eat?”. ' He was running alongside of them repeating his plea over and over again in a singing voice. One of the men hesitated and th^n put his hand in his pocket, but his companion took him by the arm and turned upon the beggar. "Get out of this,” he said in a tone which seemed almost brutal, and the beggar turned away abruptly. "Don’t you think you were pretty rough to him?” asked the man who had shown an inclination to give alms. “No,” answered his friend unsym pathetically, "he’s a professional.” “How do you know?” “Just you keep your wits about you when a beggar approaches you. That fellow said ‘gents.’ That’s profes sional. He asked for a few cents. That’s professional. And what’s more to my point, he kept repeating his sentences over and over again. He has learned to sing them over that way by repeating them a thousand times. When a man who is not used to begging asks you for help he doesn’t do it that way. He just stum bles along, uttering any appeal that comes to his lips. He hasn’t anything by heart. He doesn’t sing it and it doesn’t slip off his tongue so glibly. The professional beggar is like an ac tor. He has his lines and he always reads them in the same way. Don’t let one of those fellows fool you again.” A TERRIBLE DREAM, Mr. Blank I< Tortured With a Sleep Fear That Unmans Him. Mrs. Blank went shopping. Mr. Blank went with her. No one can explain why he went, for she didn’t positively compel it, and he is still re garded as sane! He went, anyhow. She wanted buttons. Those at Jenk ins’ store were too small, much too small. So she went to Kahn’s and Poznanski’s and the Merchants’ Sup ply; then to Poznanskl’s and the Mer chant's Supply and Kahn’s. At Jenk ins’ again they showed her the same buttons and she found them too large! Blank guessed it a case of expansion caused by the heat; it seemed hot to him! She got almost to another place —not quite—for they saw her coming and locked the door for the night. She went home. That night Blank’s hard breathing woke his tired wife, and she woke him, in turn. “What’s the matter?” she de manded. “I—I had a dreadful dream,” he gasped; “I thought we were both dead, that you had gone to heaven, and that I—I hadn’t!" “How perfectly awful," she cried, grasping him convulsively around the neck, “to be separated and—” “We—we weren’t separated,” moaned Blank with a shudder; “I—I could have endured that! But no— no! I dreamt that you were to be allowed to go shopping forever, and that I was condemned to go with you.” _ A SEIDLITZ POWDER. Its Dangerous Effects in the Coart 01 the Rajah. ’ An English doctor, attached to the court of a rajah, made himself almost indispensable to his highness. He had, fortunately, also made a friend of his prime minister. On one occa sion his highness being slightly indis posed, had taken, by the doctor’s ad vice, a seidlitz powder, with which he expressed himself delighted. Its tendency to “boil and fizz ready to blow your nose off,” seemed to him to “scatter coolness;" and he seemed so much better after taking it that the doctor felt himself justified in joining in a hunting-party. Presently a horseman from the palace, in the con fidential employment ot the grand vizier, galloped up to him. “My mas ter bids me tell you," he said, “that his highness has broken open your medicine-chest and taken, first, all the white powders and then all the blue.” “Gracious goodness,” cried the doctor, “there were twenty-three of each of them!” “My master adds,” continued the messenger, dropping his voice, “that you had better make for the frontier without one moment’s delay.” The doctor put spurs to his horse and never drew rein till he was “out of the jurisdiction of the court.” Wire Shafts for Steamers. - Trials that have been made with the new plan of wire shafts for steam ships are said to show that when the shaft is in position and rotating stress iB applied a tensile force is exerted upon the individual wires and their several fastenings—each a unit of strength sustaining its part of the total amount of stress. The strength of the individual wires and of the fastening being known, the strength of the shaft as a whole ean likewise be ascertained. A Ursa ProQt. The walls of Paris are doomed. No other large city in Europe is sur rounded by a wall, and as the one round Paris occupies a space compris ing no fewer than 12,000,000 square yards, or one-eighth of the total area of the capital, the state will derive an immense profit from its removal and the sale of the ground whioh it stands upon. Sacred Spider*. One American tribe believed that at death the soul had to pass over to the other world on floats made of cobwebs. On .this account the spider was held in high veneration, it being accounted a highly dangerous act to kill or injure one. BEST FOR SHIRTS. THE PROOTER & GAMBLE CO., CINTt. Dec. 15. THE JAP'S CLOCK, An Odd Timepiece Deed bp the Old* Time Orientals. The real Japanese clock, one of the kind in use among that brown* skinned, almond-eyed race of Orien tals before they came in contact with timekeepers of European pattern, is the oddest horological instrument imaginable. They are of many kinds and patterns, of course, but are all alike in one respect, viz., in recording the flight of time without that seem ing indispensable adjunct—the point er rotating on an axis. In these queer Jap time-keepers the scale and figures (characters) are arranged in a manner more re sembling a Fahrenheit thermometer than anything else, the pointer or “hand” being attached to a rod, which is continually sliding downward in the “time tube,” thus pointing to the hour and minute as it slowly but imperceptibly fails toward the “bulb” or “weight house.” A square-linked chain is attached to the upper end of the rod, to which the time pointer is affixed, and when the clock is “wound up” it is simply done by coiling the chain around the toothed wheel. A heavy weight fastened at the other end of the rod continually pulls rod and pointer downward, thus plainly and simply recording the flight of time. Slaves of Custom. There are no tables in the houses of the Esquimaux, and the women are, therefore, in the habit of placing everything on the floor. A Danish lady employed several Esquimaux wo men to do some washing. Entering the wash-house she saw them all bend ing over the wash-tubs that stood on the floor. To make them more com fortable, she had some stools fetched and placed the tubs up m them. By and bye she looked in to see how they were getting on. and to her astonish ment discovered the women standing on the stools and stooping still more laboriously over the tubs, which still remained on the floor. Most Precious to Illm. A passenger who escaped uninjured from a serious railway smash, seeing a fellow-traveler searching anxiously among the wreckage with a lantern, offered to assist in the search, and thinking the old man had lost his wife, asked in sympathetic tones: “What part of the train was she in?” Raising his lantern and glaring at the kindly disposed passenger, the old man shouted with indignant distinct ness that triumphed over physical in firmity: “She, sir! she! I am looking for my teeth!” Chronic Nervousness Could Not Sleep, Nervous Headaches.
