slin acq”dred a comfortable coiiijie
' by tho exercise of his art; and he
a handsome villa at Saint Gervais,
hi. is. When he had retired from
vs, lie amused himself by introduc
* :u'ious curious inventions into his
nd tho gronmls attached to it.
vden gate was situated somo 400
from the house. A visitor had only
e a uimim \ ! brass knocker, and
a fall upon the forehead of a fantastic
-making but a faint sound—when a
1 was ret in motion in the villa,
t t he gate swung open
uitienliy, the plate bearing the name
disappeared, and an¬
‘ OO 1C liS id sae, cn which was en-
1 til'' WO’Vl “Lutrev..” When the
llveivd the letter;
14 as instructed to drop them
\ a " it in the .gate'sinio the reccn-
tacle provided for this purpose, The
box, directly ibis was done, started of its
own accord on its journey to the front
door of the house by means of a miniature
elevated railway.
Houdin invented, too, an ingenious bed, con- ho
trivance by which, while lying in
could feed his horse in a stable fifty yards small
from the villa, for, on touching a
button, there was put iiv motion an appa¬
ratus that caused the exact portion of
oats required for the animal’s meal to fall
into the manger from the granary above.
By another curious piece of mechanism a
little bench that stood beside a ravine in
a remote part of the grounds was so con¬ sat
structed that immediately any automatically person
down upon it the machine
traversed a narrow bridge that spanned
tlie gorge, a a d having deposited its occu
pant on he o tlicr side, tlio bench returned
to its original position.—Chambers’ Jour¬
nal.
Work of a Hotel Chambermaid.
The hotel porter has to move and lift
some heavy baggage. But he has an occa
sional rest. It is on the muscle and sinews
of the hotel chambermaid that the heaviest
and longest labors fall. There is one on
my floor who has an average of thirty
five rooms to attend to every day. That
means for each room bed making, sweep¬
ing, dusting, sheet changing and looking
after the toilet requisites. The house
keeper lias a sharp eye, is eternally vigi¬
lant, and not a room is slighted. Cham¬
ber work doesn’t look hard, but it’s very
wearing. I think the man of average
strength would look tired after he lmd
bent over his fifteenth bed and tucked the
sheets in properly.
Every 4 oth r morning this girl must
arise at and sweep the parlors. Che can
escqpe from the house and her toils every
other day from 4 in the evening until 7
next morning. The remainder of tho
lime, when not a > jeep, she is on the move.
Clio is of tho muscular draught horse
breed, and though not over 20 , her
shoulders arc bent like a bow from years
of stooping over beds while making them
up. She sings at her work, and tells us
that she never coukl got through it if she
did not sing. She will bo an old, over
worked woman in ten years. A fresher,
younger “help” will supply her place
when slio tumbles out of the ranks from
sheer exhaustion. None but stout girls
can endure hero. Tho landlord natural! J \r
and reasonably wants the strongest girls,
for the sum 1 reason we want tho strong*
est horses to draw our loads.—Prentices

Potato Whisky in England.
Potato whisky apparently is becoming
more popular with the English, to the
great worriment of certain of them, who
contend that few forms of alcohol are so
mischievous as it. During tho. first half
of tho current year tho importation of
potato whisky by tho United Kingdom in*
creased nearly 400,000 gallons.—Boston
