JOHN STOFFEL, Clerk. The Bird That Woulda't Stat. Gabrielli, the great prima donna, Mice "suffered" a twelve days' impris­ onment for a whimiscal refusal to sing in her usual first rate style. It was the occasion of a state dinner given by the viceroy at Palermo. Gabrielli had been engaged for the function, but as she did not put in an appearance the dinner was delayed and a messenger dispatched to ascertain the cause of her absence. The messenger was promptly informed that Gabrielli was in bed, where she had become so ab­ sorbed in a favorite author that she had forgotten the engagement. Re­ senting the command for her appear­ ance, the lady began by singing her very worst, and when the viceroy urg ed her to be less foolish she refused to sing at all. "The viceroy may make me cry," said she, "but he can never make me sing." For this freak Gabrielli was sent to prison, as we have indicated, for twelve days, during which time, having lib­ erty to do as she pleased, she feasted her friends in great style and enjoyea herself In a variety of ways. Hardest Water. The Rev. Samuel Peters was the mi n who made Connecticut's blue laws fa­ mous by their publication in his his­ tory of that state. In that interesting volume the following original bit of natural history is to be found: "In the Connecticut river, 200 miles from Long Island sound, is a narrow of five yards only, formed by two shelving moun­ tains of solid rock, whose tops inter­ cept the clouds. Through this chasm are compelled to pass all the waters which in the time of floods bury the northern country. Here water is con­ solidated without frost, by pressure, by swiftness, between the pinching, sturdy rocks to such a degree of indu­ ration that an iron crow floats smooth­ ly down its current Here iron, lead and cork have one common weight; here, steady as time and harder than marble, the stream passes, irresistible If not swift as lightning." Better Way ^ The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is- more irrita­ tion--more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation--for a while. You take SCOTT'S E M U L S I O N and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. It soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. WE'LL SCMO *0O A SAMPLE FREE. Crossed Checks. •"There are no certified checks on the other side," said an English financier. "Any funny business In the shape of check kiting when the wherewithal is not in the bank to make good and you find yourself behind prison bars in short order. But they have 'crossed checks'--that is, two horizontal Hues about half an Inch apart are drawn across the check, and '& Co.' is written betweeu them. That means when you get a crossed check you cannot at once go to the bank on which it is drawn and demand payment but must deposit the check in your own bank first and let it take the usual course through the clearing bouse. This gives the other man a chance to finance his affairs, which just at that time may be very intricate and onerous, and prevents you from Jumping at his throat right away." The JspHnese Lsscssge. The Japanese language has some fea­ tures which puzzle beginners In its use. In English when one has learned the name for rice that ends it. Not so in Japan. Begin with cooked rice, meshi. When eaten by a child it is calletl mama. In speaking to another person of eating rice you call it gozen. As a merchant sells it. uncooked, it Is kome. and as it grows in the field it is ine. So a carpenter's- foot, or shaku. Is about twelve inches, but a tailor's Is fifteen. A kin or pound of beef Is fourteen ounces, of flour twenty-one, of sugar over thirty. The ri, or mile, varies in different provinces, and on the Fusi yama ascent half a ri is marked a rl because It's so much harder work going uphill. The Jeweler's Carat. The carat is a standard used by Jewelers to express both weight and fineness. When it is used as a weight it is equal to four grains, or the one hundred and twentieth part of an ounce troy. In determining the fineness of precious metals twenty-four carats is considered the highest standard of pu­ rity. According to this standard, an eighteen carat gold ring contains three parts of gold and one of some base metal.

Shakespeare la Parllaaoat In July, 1855, a debate was going on In. the house of commons respecting Lord John (afterward Earl) Russell's ignominious failure during his mission in Vienna to bring the Crimean war to an end, in consequence of which the opposition indulged in some strong criticism regarding the party in power. At last Lord Palmerston, then prime minister, rose and began to talk In a hectoring way about "this unnecessary and unprovoked attack upon the gov­ ernment" and ended by saying in a loud voice and looking straight at two literary members-- Bulwer and Disraeli --who were sitting together on the front opposition bench: "The gentlemen are making 'Much Ado About Nothing.' " He sat down amid loud cheers from his own side, but in an Instant Bulwer was up and with exquisite grace and sarcasm said: "Mr. Speaker"--then turning to bow slightly toward the treasury bench--"I beg to remind the noble lord that in chronological order 'Much Ado About Nothing' comes after 'A Comedy of Errors.'" • Oar First "Star." "One celebrated Portia," says the au­ thor of "Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage," "came of a noted family, be­ ing none other than Mrs. Eliza Whit- lock, the sister of Mrs. Siddons and of the Kembles. In England, at the age of twenty-two, she had made her Lon­ don debut as the heroine of 'Sliylock' on the 22d of February, 1783, and, though somewhat masculine In face and figure, yet displayed so animated a countenance and so graceful a bear­ ing as to win a moderate degree of fa­ vor. A few years after coming to this land she enjoyed the distinction of playing the first 'star' engagement on the American stage, being engaged for $450 and a benefit, to play at the Bos­ ton theater in October, 1796. There she repeated her Portia, contending with the remembrance of Mrs. Powell's Impersonation of a previous season. She also had the honor of playing be­ fore George Washington in Philadel­ phia." Desehapelles. Descbapelles, the greatest whist play­ er the world has ever seen, had but one hand and was an advanced republican. His manual dexterity was remarkable, and it was very interesting to watch him with bis one hand--and that bis left--collect the cards, sort them, play them and gather them in tricks. Late In life, when he had developed into ar­ dent republicanism, he was supposed to have been mixed up In some of the attempts at revolution which broke out In the earlier days of the reign of Louis Philippe. His papers were seized, and It was ptoved that he bad drawn up a list of persons to be disposed of. Among them was an elderly acquaintance, so described: "Vatry (Alpbie) to be guillo­ tined--Reason--citoyen inutile. Vatry is s bad whist player." - The Work of Oxyiea, The oxygen gas of the air is at once the great stimulant and the great de­ stroyer of life. In fermentation, growth, putrefaction, combustion and oxidization, which are merely different names for the same process In different forms, oxygen is doing Its universal work. It is. no metaphor, but a chem­ ical fact, that our world and everything in It are burning with a greater or less degree of rapidity. It is only when the proceqp becomes very rapid that we can see the flames. So instead of saying that we are in the midst of everlasting Are--a saying which might alarm the timid--the scientific merely say that ox­ idization In Its various forms goes on without cessation. Wonderful Mechanical Files. It Is not necessary to remark, espe­ cially after one reads the following, that it taxes credulity to the utmost to believe some of the old time stories: John de Montroyal presented Emper­ or Charles V. with an automatic Iron fly which escaped, circled around his majesty's head a few times and then alighted upon his sleeve. Virglllus, bishop of Naples, made an Iron fly which did not only fly, but kept all other flies out of the city.* Veat!latin* the Slmploa Tunnel. The system of ventilation adopted for the Simplon tunnel necessitates the closing of each end. This is effected by huge canvas screens, which work auto­ matically on the passage of a train. Should the mechanism fall to lift the screen the engine will tear through it like a circus performer through a paper hoop, and no harm can result.
