Her Matrimonial Efforts. 'TEEY WERE VARIED AND INTERESTING AND M0)! BECAME BOSS AT LAST. A southern lady of an enquiring turn of mind it:de her old colored mummy whether she considered marriage a failure. "Well, chile," replied Mom Lucy, assuming a judicial air, “ dat depen’s on do kine of man you gits. I has had 'sperieuce with fo’ busban’s, an' I tells yu’, honey, dey ain't no countiu' on de men folks.

Who Vos It? Here is one of the latest typewriter stories. There are clothing dealers who have felt just asLevy did, but have, we trust, avoided his somewhat ambiguous method of expressing his indignation. Jacob Levy sold Googeu- lieimer & Co. five barrels of whisky on thirty days’ time. The thirty days rolled around, but the cash did not materialize. After writing a polite re- quest for a remittance and receiving no reply, Levy lost his head and his tem- per and said to his typewriter: “ Shoost 'write Googenheimer & Co. vou teufel of a letter und gif it to ’em hot.” The letter was written and submitted for signature. Levy read it. flew into a passion, tore it into shreds and said: “" Gott in himmel l You call dot vou Fhot letter ?

Imitation gold filling inserted in artificial teeth free of Whore Potatoes Can’t Be ‘. W Lott [lie barometer stands OI‘IHTI‘)’ inches sea ievel.showing an atmospheric pressure of filteeu pounds to the square inch, the boiling point of water is fill; degrees Fahrenheit. When part of this pressure is removed by ascending re higher levels, water will boil bolero coming to a heat of 212 degrees, or if a descent is made into a level below the level of the. sea the boiling point will rise accordingly. Thus it is plain to see that in highly elevated regions, where there is less atmospheric pres- sure upon the water, the boiling point. is much lower than at sea level-in other words, it will boil before it is sufficiently heated to cook potatoes, beans, etc. An elevation of but 510 foot makes a diminution of one degree in the boiling point. At the city of Mexico, where the elevation is 7,471 feet above sea level. water will boil at 98!; degrees; at Quito, which is 9.541 feet, the boiling point is reached at 194 degrees. It will be seen, therefore. that boiling is not always equally hot. At the places mentioned and in several localities in our own country. many articles of food cannot be cooked at all by boiling; or, if they can, it takes several hours, where a few minutes should sufficeâ€"St. Louis Republic. uooon People Who Don't Use Matches. It is rather surprising to learn that in these days of cheap matches and magazine rifles there is still a very ex‘ tensive trade in gun and other flints done between this country and others. At Brandon, a ,village on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk, the proper kinds of flint are extensively found, and the whole of the villagers almost subsist by the preparation of tinder-box and gun flints. It may here be said that nearly all travelers to remote regions carry it tinder-box and fliuts, for these are more reliable than matches, especially in damp regions, tin-J there. is no expedia tion fitted out from this country which does not take out a supply of films. But the greater part of tho Branden flints go to the rural regions of Spain and Italy, where the tinder-box is still in full use, and the gun fliuts go in large quantities to Morocco, to various wild parts of Africa, and to islands in the Pacific, traders finding a ready market for them. The village is a flourishing one, and the flint workers carry on their business in little sheds adjacent to their houses.â€" Tit-Bits. o o o-â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"--â€"â€" The Bicycle Man. “ As a vast number of people are riding bicycles, the modifications of their bodies, brought about by the exercise, may become hereditary in the race,” says a prominent New York phy- sician. “ If the theory of evolution is correct and the bad manner of riding- becomes general, the people of the future will be very curious in appear- ance. Their legs will greatly increase in size and the knees will be developed in a remarkable manner by the great amount of work which the pedaling exercise puts on them. Their bodies will be very small. and curved and their arms long and powerful, but with a different distribution of muscles from the present. Their bands will be large and hooked. Then, perhaps their noses will be elongated from the long continâ€" ued act through many generations of thrusting them forward. The changes in the external form of the body will, of course, cause a great many others in the internal organization. v. - 0--....“ The Effects of Colored Glass. It is interesting to note that while the efforts of the late Gen. Plcasantou to show that blue colored glass had a. beneficial influence on plants growing beneath it, it seems to have failed to make any permanent impression on American cultivators, that just about the time of his death, the English culâ€" ltivators are believing they find good effects from it. Before us is a lecture by Prof. llenslow, on the effect. of light On the germination of seeds. He tried a large number of experiments himself, and stated that violet colored glass had been used by a London grower of mill" kct flowers, and that under the glass his flowers bloomed 14 days earlier than they would under other circum- stances; but Prof. Henslow remarked that while he had flowers in this way. the plants themselves were undoubtedly weakened. He states as a result of his experiments that so far as the vital powers of plants were concerned, colored glass of all kinds had an injurious effect in various degrees. ._... .
