A Wonderful Machine. -
The machine by which railway tick
ets are printed gives an exhibition of
Intelligence or what looks very like it
Railway tickets are not. as might be
supposed, printed In large sheets and
afterward cut np. The cardboard is
cut Into tickets first and printed one
by one afterward. The little blank
cards are put In a pile In a kind of
perpendicular spout, and the machine
slips' a bit of metal undernenta the
bottom of- the spout and pushes out
the lowest ticket In the pile to be
printed and consecutively . numbered.
It is of no nse trying to print n bad
ticket. The machine finds out an im
perfect blank in an instant and flatly
refuses to have anything to do with It.
Tear off the corner of one of the bits
of card and put it Into the spout with
the others in order to 6ee what will
happen and it refuses to budge again
until somebody Comes and remores
the impostor. Pull out the dnmnged
ticket ' and the mechanism . will set
briskly to work again. Philadelphia

When Women Carved. '
.; Iri George, I. 's reign It was the bound
en duty of the mistress of a country
bonse to carve for her guests, . Eti
quette demanded It of her. and no one
might relieve her of her arduous task,
not even the master. To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor of passing
the, bottle and looking on while each
Joint was placed In turn before his
wife or danghter, as the case might be.
and by her rapidly manipulated. Carv
Ing becdme one of the branches of a
good feminine education. ; and there
were professional carving masters who
taught the young ladles. Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu took lessons in the
art three times a week and on her
father's public days made a practice
of having her own dinner an hour or
two beforehand. - A guest who did not
receive his portion from his hostess'
own fair bands-would have consider
ed himself much aggrieved. London

i- Strlot German Discipline,
' "German discipline In the army is
the strictest of any nation, in the
world," said ' a ' man who has "expe
rienced it "Every German boy must
serve a definite, period. In the flrniy
He can buy bis way out in six months
If be haa money, but the richest must
serve that period.4 The first thing told
a recruit when he enters the barracks
Is that he does not know how to walk.
That information startles him, because
haturally he believes he had learned
to walk years before. A drlllmaster
gets , him In a courtyard, and for a
week, often a month, the poor recruit
is drilled In walking alone. Then bo
gets another course, and the longest
practice marches of a regiment nre al

. Animal Under Water.
The ability of a beaver to remain
under water for a long time Is not
really so tough a problem as it looks.
When the lake or pond is frozen over
a beaver will come to the under sur
face of the ice and expel bis breath
so that It will form a wide, flat bub
ble. The air, coming in contact with
the lec and water. Is purified, and the
beaver breathes It again. .This opera
tion he can repeat several times. The
otter and muskrat do the same thing.

A Picture of Ibten. '
In Schurmann's "Secrets de Cou
lisses" Is a picture of Ibsen at the
summit of his fame. When Ibsen had
completed a new play the Copenhagen
newspapers announced the event with
a great flourish of trumpeta, and
added: "The master will deposit )ls
manuscript at the National theater at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning." : At
war uuui . .uv .w'uu ,tctr;C"
house and the theater was lined with
people. . The gTeat man appeared with
bis precious roll of paper neatly tied
up. As It slipped through Into the
letter box the public gave a great
shout The philosopher acknowledged
the demonstration with a grave bow
and retired within doors with the con
sciousness of having performed a
glorious mission. Every one of nil
ordinary acts in public was "accom
panied by something of the sort, and
even when he sat the curtains 'of the
window were drawn aside so that bis
features might be visible to bis ad
mirers outside.
