Amend of our city Brakeman Charlie Greininger was pulled off of the tender of an engine at Akron last Friday by the heavy chain carried on engines and has been off duty this week until the hurts feel better Odd Use For Bread Perhapa the most novel use to which bread is put may be seen in one of our great watch factories where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day An official of the watch fac tory is quoted as saying There is no secret regarding the use of bread in this factory and I am will ing to tell all I can concerning it From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough This is done by steaming and kneading They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere in course of manufacture to pieces as small as a part of a watch There are many parts of a watch by the way that are so small as to be barely visible to the naked eye The oil is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to it and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking industry American Food Journal A Quaint Compliment On Mark Twains seventy second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him No wonder he finds happiness in old age All the aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as he He is continually going out of his way to please others and the result is that he is continually pleasing him self Listen for instance to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach He waited for me at the church door at the serv ices end and shaking me by the hand said gravely I mean no offense but I feel oblig ed to tell you that the preaching this morning has been of a kind thatI can spare I go to church sir to pursue my own train of thought but today I couldnt do it You interfered with me You forced me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour I beg that tliis may not acenr scnin The ENGLISH RED TAPE War Office Methods and the Test of a Mountain Gun The story that a gun of marvelous possibilities invented in Eugland may be sold abroad owing to the apathy of the powers that be is not altogether surprising Whitworth refused Napoleon IIIs offer of 50000 a year for life to go to Paris and manufacture his cannon for the French army but perhaps our war office was not so faddy then as now Some little time ago a new gun for hill lighting was offered and was sent out to India to be tried It was drag ged up steep hills rushed down rocky deiiles left for a week at a time in mountain torrents in fact submitted to all the tests which a veteran ofliccr accustomed to war with the hill tribes could suggest The report was satisfactory In every respect but a war office genius bland ly asked If the gun had been dropped down a precipice It had not The war office was horrified and amazed at the neglect of so elementary a test The gun was now dropped down a precipice with the inevitable result its internals were irremediably dam aged now was it possible the war office asked to accept such a weapon And the army of India was left to potter along with obsolete weapons because this new arm would not stand impos sible tests London Sketch AWAY BELOW ZERO Awful Cold That Comes With Eighty Degrees of Frost It is difficult to form any conception of the degree of cold represented by SO degrees of frost that at times prevails in certain parts of Russia Sir Leopold McClintock tells us how in one of his arctic expeditions a sailor was foolish enough to do some outdoor work at reeisely this temperature His hands froze and wlfSu he rushed into the cabin and plunged one of them into a basin of water so cold was the hand that the water was instantly converted into a block of ice At 25 degrees Dr Kane says the mustache and underlip form pendu lous beads of dangling ice Put out your tongue and it instantly freezes to this icy crusting Your chin has a trick of freezing to your upper jaw by the happy aid of your beard My eyes have often be so glued as to show that even- was unsafe During neatrical performance giv en by the crew of his ship at an inside temperature of 30 degrees the con densation was so excessive that we could barely see the performers

The small boy with the big bundle of papers was observed to be moisten ing some of his stock in the street fountain Ah my lad said a benevolent old gentleman it does me good to see such an illustration of cleanliness What do yer mean boss asked the boy as he stared up in wonder Why arent you trying to wash the mud spots off the edge of your papers No boss you are way off You see some of

founded by George III and is not to be com pared in age with the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle which dating from a remote antiquity was revived by James II in 1GS7 The curious thing about the bands or rib bons of these two orders is that St Patricks is blue of the hue that may be seen in the hackles or plumes In the bearskins of the Irish guards though it suggests the blue bells of Scotland while the sash of the thistlo Is a dark preen suggestive of Erins verdant isle On state ceremonies these two orders are frequently con founded Whst She Was Trying to Accomplish The other
