Saved by a Laugh.
A professional nurse at Needs, Eng
land, was remarkably successful in the
care of patients suffering from small
pox, diphtheria or pneumonia. In
(act, she bad never lost a patient with
one of these complaints. Not long ago,
however, she had a pneumonia case
which was given up by the physician,
much to the nurse’s chagrin.
“He can’t live through the night,”
said the doctor.
Sure eneugh, when the nurse went
to give the si. k mao 1 « im Heine, he
only shook bis bead. The distracted
nurse saw her proud record about to
be broken and urged the patient to
take his dose
‘‘No use,” he murmured.
‘‘Well, sir,” said the nurse in despair
“/ou’ve got to take it! And if you die
I’ll kill you!’’
Whereupon the , rent begun to

A FountiiLi «>i Quicksilver.
At. the comi: ; exhibition In Earl's
Court, London, Queensland is going to
exhibit a fountain of quicksilver. Engi
neer i ’huri'li, who lias the novel exhibit in
charge, says:
“What wo are going to have is an ar
rangement of two basins, one above the
other. These will be of iron, enameled
black, to give a greater effect to the fall
ing quicksilver, the top one some five feet
in diameter and tin low er one three feet
larger. The nu rciiry will run into the
upper bowl from i height and thence by
little channels ind the edge Into the
lower basin.
‘ The supply will be So arranged that
there is an almost continual flow—at least
that is what wo hope to obtain. As it
drops into the lower bowl the mercury
will be conducted by a glass lined iron
pipe to a reservoir tank and thence lifted
by a motor so that it may return by the
delivery pipa to the upper bowl again.
The weight of the mercury used will be
about two tons, and the piping for the de
livery will be 106 feet long and that for
the return to the tank SO feet. Each tank
will hold two cubic feet of quicksilver,
and the elevator apparatus will bo re
quired to raise about one ton an hour.
“ Probably the thing that will attract
most attention will be a few ordinary
household flatirons, which are to be floated
in the bottom basin, for the density of the
mercury supports iron as water does wood.
I see it has been stated that our fountain
would throw a jet seven feet high. That
is. ridiculous, if not impossible, for the
cost of machinery to do such a thing
would be tremendous—that is, allowing
that it could be done, which I doubt.” —

Pasco Was Always Paired-
The Pittsburg Dispatch is responsi
ble for the following :
The defeat of Senator Pasco of Flor
ida, will remove from the Senate a
member with a unique record. Senator
Pasco has been in congress tor twelve
years, and during that time his record
shows that he never voted directly on
any question. He has had a chronic
pair ever since he took his seat. The
reason for this is that Senator Pasco
had charge of the pairs on the Demo
cratic side, and it was h:» duty to see
that all Democrats absent were prop
erly paired. To do this he was almost
always obliged to pair bim-elf, not on
account of the absence of a Democrat,
but out ot courtesy to Republicans
Whenever a Republican was absent
and demanded a pair on the Demo
cratic side, Senator Pasco had to fur
nish it It became a standing rule in
the Senate when the roll wa- called
ami Senator Pasco’s name reached for
the little senator from Florida to rise
in his seat and say “Mr President, I
am paired with 'lm setiat >r from ■
If be were present be would vote yea,
and I would vote nay,” the Florida
senator, of course, varying the last
part of his remarks according to the
question. It would have given the
tally clerk heart failure it Stmitor
Pasco had ever cast a direct vote.

Pretty Tie For Tiny Girl's Hair.
There never has been a prettier way of
arranging the tresses of a little child than
the present mode of tying the dainty locks
on either -ide of the face. This keeps the
hair out of the eyes—a most Important
Consideration —and gives a quaint, tidy
look to the face that is very sweet and en
dearing. If the hair curls naturally, then
all the better. Bur whatever you do, don't
put it in “pigtails” unless the ago of 4 or
5 years is reached. Oh, the woeful ap
pearance of a bit of a baby with its seven
little hairs done into a braid and tied with
h scrap of ribbon! There never was a
more doleful picture penned or painted.
