A member of the Chinese commia

rrio is cicuileu with making ttie fol
lowing statement to a Frenchman:
"We are ready to fight a!l K irope; we
have an army that yon cannot over
come. All the countries iu the" world
may try in vaiu, and yon will see that
we shall astonish the world. We know
your map of Km ope better than your
selves. We alr-o have our plans for the
futnre."
When bouillon is served in cups a
poon is laid in the saucer, and it may
' be eaten either from the spoon or drank
direotly from the cups. Covered cups
are very seldom used for this purpose,
but when they are, each person removes
the cover and places it just at one side
I her plate, ami when the course is re
moved the servant tak.es away the cov
ers. The Auijtican steamsihp Paris,
whhjh ran onto the Manacle rooks
about a year ago, and was then taken

with an entire new bottom, will have

veloping 20,000 horse-power 2,000
horse-power more than the old engines
and will be launched in about seven
months as the Philadelphia.

"All the world loves a lover" is an
old proverb. But all women love a
wedding. And the bride'B dress is
more important than the music,' or the
decorations, the bride's father, the
bridesmaids, the ushers or the clergy
man. Many Americans leave home to go
to Europe every year to see sights
which are discounted by those at home.
They express great wonder at the cg
railway up the liigi Kulm which runs
a distance of 4 ' miles, while by go
ing to Pikes' peak they may t ide on
one 8-4 miles long. The ascent of the
former is 4.0T2 feet, that of the latter
is 8,100 feet, an average of 84 H feet per

Experiments made by Professor .Toly
show that quart, at the temperature of
800 degrees becomes plastic, and at
1600 degrees is a thick Hind. This
softening point is much slower tlmu

discovery gives encouragement to the
hope of a wide use for quartz in scien

FROM SOCIETY TO SLUMS.
A Wealthy Society Girl Who Devotes
Her Life to the Poor.
Wealth, home comforts and every
luxury money can acquire have no at
traction for Miss Mae Brown, the
bountiful daughter of
John Crosby Brown,
millionaire banker
and member of the
titin of Brown Broth
ers, New York. And
it is well for the poor
of the East Side,that
they have uot, for had
it not been for her a
score or more of per
sons would have died
from the heat during
the past few weeks.
To her a life on the

I'iflt-ith street, for on the East Side
MisJJKjiiown can minister to the poor
and can comfort the sick. Miss Brown
may be called the "Ministering Angel"
of the East Side.
Miss Brown can shine In New York
society as few women can. But society
has no charm for her since one day two
years ago, .when she had occasion to
visit the East Side. There she saw
sights that wrung her heart. Helpless
little children lying about the streets,
poorly clad, half-starved mothers, some
ill, all unhappy, were new to Miss
Brown. After arriving- at her home
Miss Brown declared that her mission
In life was to be a trained nurse and
to help the poor and suffering. No ar
gument could persuade her that her
place- w as to shine in society. Miss
Brown took a course in nursing at the
Presbyterian Hospital. So many rich
girls take up nursing as a fad and then
give It it)) when the hard tusks tome,
that it was- not thought that Miss
Brown would continue long. The bank

ever, and she soon proved herself one
of the most efficient nurses.

BICYCLE-PROPELLING GEAR.
Apparatus Which Will Aid in the Pro
pulaion nf a Bicycle.
Here Is an apparatus which the In
ventor claims will greatly aid In the
propulsion of a bicycle, the device
applying the principle of Increased lev
erage by a louger throw of the cranks
during the forward and downward
movement. It Is easy to understand
that the longer the cranks the greater
the force which can be exerted In the
i propulsion of the wheel, but with the
I Increase In length of the crank comes
the disadvantage of compelling the feet
to travel In n larger circle, which
stretches and doubles up the leg of the
rider beyond the point of comfort.
With the new apparatus provision Is
VABIABI.K-TMHOW 1IICVCI.H CRANK.
made for increased leverage where it
can be used lo advantage, and the
throw Is reduced to a minimum while
traversing that portion of the circuit
where no leverage can be applied. Each
crank Is mounted In a tube attached to
the crank shaft and at the outer end
of the cranks are pairs of wheels which
travel around the rings attached to the
frame, thus guiding the crauks In and
out of the tubes. It will be seen by
a glance at the picture that the pedals
are farther from the crank shaft on
the downward movement than during
the upward, which is the end sought to
be attained by the Inventor, who Is
James Anderson Malone, of Grayson,
Ky.
Mow He Managed.
Absent-minded persons are the easy
prey of the unscrupulous. A noted
German chcss-playlng professor had
lost three overcoats at a cafe while eu
gaged at his favorite pastime.' He was
at a loss to know how to prevent a
fourth from going astray, when all at
once a brilliant Idea occurred to him.
Immediately before sitting down to a
game he took bis brand-new garment,
hung It over the buck of his chair, leant
against It. and said to himself with
a grateful feeling of perfect security,
"Now it must be safe." He soon be
came deeply engrossed In his game,
when a light-fingered gentleman ap
proached, and apparently became
greatly interested. At a critical mo
ment he tapped the professor on tbo
shoulder, exclaiming, "Excuse me."
"Don't mention It," returned the ab
sorbed piaster bending forward. Like
lightning, the thief withdrew the coat
from the chair, and a moment later bad
disappeared Into the street.

LORD PLAYFAIR'S ASSURANCE.
Induced Prince of Wales to Ladle
Molten J,ead with Hia Hani. .
One of the most honored and conspic
uous figures In the public life of Great
Britain during the last half century
was Lord iPlay fair. The vast sanitary
improvements, which have taken place
In England within thirty years and the
evolution of the whole system of scien
tific and technical Instruction are due
to Pluyfnlr more than to any other man,
says the North-America u Review, He
originally suggested the adoption of
open halfpenny letters, now known as
post cards, and he was largely Instru
mental in suggesting the basis of nn
equitable agreement betwen Great
Britain mid America when President
Clcvchijid's Venezuelan message had
brought the two countries into danger
ous 'antagonism. Among Playfalr'a
students at the University of Edin
burgh was the Prince of Wales, of
whom a curious anecdote is told.
"It was while the Prince of Wales
was llvlug in Edinburgh, as Playfalr'a
pupil in the application of science to
industry, that an Interesting Incident
occurred. The two. were standing near
u caldron containing lead, which was
boiling at a white heat. 'Has your
royal highuess,' asked Playfair, 'any
faith In science?' 'Certainly,' was the
reply. Playfair then carefully washed
the Prince's lmnds with ammonia to
get rid of any grease that might be on
them. "Will you now place your hand
In this boiling metal and ladle out a
portion of It?' said Playfair. .'Do you
tell nie to do this?' asked the Prince.
'I do,' was the answer. The Priuce In
stantly put his hand Into the caldron
and ladled out some of the boiling lend
without sustaining any Injury. It Is a
well-known scientific fact that the hu
man hand, If perfectly cleaned, may be
placed uninjured In .end boiling at
white heat, the moisture of the skin
protecting It under these conditions
from any injury. Should the lead be
at a temperature perceptibly lower the
effect would be, of course, very differ
ent." '

Dewey, who sold it to its present owner and occupant, T. 11. Gordon, Esq.,
