From all sides I hear of the greedinessof Mme. Patti, the exorbitant prices she asks, and how she does not care whether the peo­ ple in whose concerts she sings are ruined so long as she receives her money. The fact is this: Mine Patti receives for every concert in the Allwrt hail £700—an enor­ mous amount, no doubt. “Now let us see as to the ruin of tho people who engage her. The expenses of the hall are about £100, other artists £200, advertising, etc., say £150; the whole forms £1,150 to £1,800 costs. The receipts of this first year's concert were about £1,700, of tho second over £1,800, and the third will probabl s bo st ill larger —that is to say, £500, £000 and £700 profit. I know that once in a concert in which she sang the expenses wore a little over £1,200 and the receipts £2,113, with £153 taken for programme books. These are figures, not opinions. I have known what is perhaps htill more aston­ ishing. One evening the fog was so thick that I was reflecting whether 1 should go to the hall, imagining that Mme. Patti, whom I had to accompany, would not go. I went, however, after all, by the unsion a* before.

T. G. Farrer, watchmaker, has invented one of th« most peculiar clocks of the Nineteenth century. It consists of a plate glass dial suspended from the ceiling, and all the parts of it that are visible are the two bands, the pivot upon which they swing, and the dial. It is marked "Gravitation Clock,” and not one person in 1,000 who passes it has the faintest idea that it is the most ingenious device of the century. Many clocks with glass dials have the works of a watch as their motive power, but this clock has no mo­ tive power that is visible. Mr. Farrer worked on the invention for six years before he succeeded in per­ fecting it. He alleges that the only mo­ tive power is the gravitation of the earth, and that the clock will run on forever without winding. The only imperfec­ tion is that it loses from four to five min­ utes a day by the friction of the hands on the pivot, and, therefore, the hands re­ quire to be regulated once in twenty-four hours. He showed a reporter yesterday some­ thing alsiut the way the clock worked. When the hands pointed to a quarter past 1 Mr. Farrer caught hold of them, brought them together and sent them twirling around the dial like the winder of a wheel of fortune. After oscillating until the momentum had been overcome, the hour hand and tho minute hand re­ sumed their respecti ve and proper posi­ tions, still marking the correct time. At 1:20 he did something still more remark­ able. He slipped the minute hand off the pivot and laid it on the counter. At the end of six minutes he replaced it and sent it twirling around the dial. When it came to rest it settled at the right place, twenty-six minutes past 1 o’clock. The hands are of tin and are hollow, and perfectly balanced on the pivot. Mr. Farrer says they are moved by the grav­ itation of the earth, but it puzzles the s|Hs tator to account for the power that raises them after they reach 6:30. All kinds of theories are afloat to ac­ count lor this. Some jieople say that the hollow hands are tilled with fluids of different densities that overcome the gravitation of tlid earth when the hands reach that point. Hut Mr. Farrer keeps his secret, and rejoices over the mystifi­ cation of the lieliolder. 11c insists that electricity is not the motive |>ower.— Fresno (I’al.) Republican. Tlmnk-Tai. The king of A imam, a country of southeastern Abia, now under the pro- toctorule of France, is a l»y 9 year« old, Thank-Tai by name. He is but a nom­ inal sovereign, with very little power, but the AnnatnitCH and tho French mas­ ters of the country pay him royal honors. He is said to be a rather melancholy youth, much given to day dreams. This is not very strange, perhaps, since he lives almost alone. I le studies not a little, however, and lately, when one of his tutors, in reading to him out of an ori­ ental book of philosophy, faltered and stumbled in attempting to explain a passage, tin» child king said to him, seri­ ously, but without severity: “Ha»l you not belter, before undertak­ ing to explain those books, look them over and see whether you comprehend them yourself?” The tutor, much distressed at this mild rebuke, stammered out an apology, and, gathering up his books, went away to carry out Thank-Tai’s suggestion. In order to brighten the young king's existence, the French government r«»c«»iit- ly sent to him from Paris a number of toys of a very interesting and ingenious sort. Previous to their arrival King Thank- Tai had no other way of amusing him­ self than by watching, hour after hour, the red goldfishes swimming about in a small pond near his chamber. It is hop'd that the playthings will somewhat relieve his tendency to melancholy.— Youth's Companion. CruMliaii Gyp* I©* Indignant. Several thousand g\ psies of Croatia held an open air indignation meeting re­ cently at Cklra to protest against the vexatious measures of the Croatian au­ thorities, who desire to put a stop to their roving habits, and who for that purpose threaten to set tire to the gypsy encampments. The meeting enthusi­ astically cheered the orators, who warm­ ly defended the time honored privileges of the race, «»specially the free vagabond life inherited from their forefathers from time immemorial. The meeting was unanimous as to the necessity of ap|»eal- ing to some protector to interutuie for them. The majority looked to the ban of Croatia, Count Khuen-Hederoary. but then» was a strong minority in favor of applying to the Archduke «Joseph, the king of the Hungarian gypsies, while a few of the more radical orators recom­ mended emigration en masse from the inhospitable soil of Croatia to Bosnia and lb r/.egox ma.

Not long ago one of our newly elected congressmen notified the lads of his dis­ trict that they were all welcome to try for a cadetship at West Point and that the best man would get the place, irre­ spective of race, color or financial con­ dition. A large list of applicants responded, but, strange to say, the utmost difficulty was experienced in finding youths that came up to the physical standard re­ quired for entrance to the military school. One doctor examined seven ap­ plicants and found only one to whom he could give a clean bill of health, and this was about the general average. The boys came from the working classes. Many New York physicians believe that the terrific grind that the old mol­ lies of the board of education ’<■ forced upon our children in the pu school has much to do with the detei- ration of tlie health of the coming gen­ eration. I know one public school prin­ cipal that sends his boys to a private school, and when 1 asked him the rea­ son, “1 would not let them go to the public school for the world.” said he. “I have seen the thing work for twenty years, ami 1 know that the system that exists in New York today is harmful to any but the very sturdiest and laziest i kind of children.” Men and brethren, are not these things worth thinking about?—New York Her­ ald.
