PROVING HIS POINT.
How . tbe Bleemeriat Convinced Hl
Audience of Hla Power. .
Several prominent people were talk
ing" together, recently in the billiard;
room ,of the principal hotel in a large
provincial town in the north when a
well-known conjurer and mesmerist
came to see if the bill poster had left
any of his programmes, says the Scot-'
tish Nights. Two or three gentlemen
began to poke fun at the professor and
intimated that there was some trickyy
in his performance.
Finally the mesmeric professor stood
upon his dignity and offered to give a
free exhibition of his skill then and
there. He said that he would so place
one of the party when under his influ
ence that when' he had caused the sub
ject to grasp his own nose he could not.
leave the room without taking his
fingers from his nose.
The wager was accepted and one of
the party, an alderman, gave himself
up to the influence of the mesmerist,
who placed him by the side of an iron
column at the end of the room, told him
to close his eyes, and made a few passes
over his face. He then took the alder
man's arm, brought it round the col
umn and put his nose between his
fingers. After a few more passes the
professor said:
"Now, sir, you cannot leave the room
without taking your finger from your
nose."
The victim opened his eyes and at
once saw the point of the joke.
THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An Officer with Vast RpponsIlUitles
for Which He Scltifiiii Uets Creilit.
From the time, less than 60 years ago.
when the first steam vessel crossed" the
Atlantic the evolution of the marine
engineer has been rapid, 'but he is the
one class of marine crafts ma u that,
above all others, has kept pace -with
the developments of this fast speeding
age, and he stands to-day the most fin
ished product of a century that has
created more new types and more new
occupations than any that has preceded
it. says the Pall Mall Magazine The
marine engineer to-day is more impor
tant than any deck oiiicer, but his im
portance is as little recognized by the
noiiseafaring man as his identity i:s
concealed from the view of those who
travel in ships. Down in the bowels
of the vessel, he controls not only the
propulsion, but the steering-, lighting1,
pumping, anchoring, ventilation of the
modern marine structure, and on the
warship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the ship are those of the
officer of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer. He is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
or that is given to those who 6erve
their country or their employers with
courage and devotion on the sea.
THE NEW JUDGE'S TRIALS.
He Did Well on the llcncli Bnt Minsed
Hla I.utln.
Some years ago one of the laymen
who find places on the bench of the
highest court of New Jersey, thanks to
political influence and accommodating
governors, was a builder or contractor
living in the northern part of the state,
a man notoriously ignorant of law and
unfitted for any judicial position, says
the New York Post. Not long after his
appointment a judge of a federal court
who knew the man met him, and, with
rather an amused smile, asked:
"Well, judge, how do you get along
on the bench?"
"Oh," was the reply, "I get along very
well. You see, I have been cn the fjran J
jury a good deal and so had picked up
considerable about law. But, judge,"
he went on rather earnestly, "I find I've
got to study Latin."
"Indeed! That's rather a serious busi
ness for a man of your age to take up,
is it not?"
"Yes, but I've got to do it. You see.
there are so many words I don't under
stand. Now, look here, what do they
mean when they say laches?"
He pronounced the word "latches,"
and as he spoke he made a motion with
his index finger as of a man lifting a
latch.
The future course of the judge's study
of Latin is not recorded.
DISLIKES NAME OF SING SING.
Resident of Penitentiary Town Want
It Written "OBXinlng."
The matter of changing- the name of
Sing Sing village to some other that
will relieve it of the odium of "prison"
is again being agitated. The president
of the village, William Brandreth, says
he has positive assurances from the
New York Central & Hudson Hiver Rail
road company if the people v, ill change
the name of the place the company will
establish a new station on the prison
grounds, to be known as "Sing Sing
station," and use it only for transporta
tion to and from the prison. The people
have grown tired of seeing in the news
papers that such ami such a criminal
has been "sent to Sing Sing," the im
portant word "prison" being habitual
ly left out.
Again, a large number of the wealthy
citizens make Scarborough, the first
station south, about iya miles, their
station, and, coming home from their
business in New York, leave the train
at the pretty little suburb and dri-se
home in their smart traps. The name
of Ossining, the appellation of the town
jn. which Sing Sing is located, seems to
meet with the most favor as the new
name tor the village.
