A ROPu OF WORMS. | Hie Ciirlona I’roCeaslon That May He Seen In Norway t'oreafa. In t o deep pine forests of Norway the woodcutters sometimes find a ser pentine object nearly 50 feet long crawling slowly over the ground. If they did not know that it was made np of millions of little worms, they might be frightened by its peculiar appearance. These worms, called the seiara, gather during July and August In large numbers preparatory to mi grating in search of food or for change of condition. When setting out on this journey, they stick themselves together and form a serpentlike mass, often reaching a length of be between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the seiara is only on an average about three thirty-seconds of an inch in length and barely wider than a fine needle, tiie number required to com pose a line of the size above men tioned is enormous. Their pace is very slow, and upon meeting an ob stacle, such as a stick or stone, they will either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for this purpose. M. Guerin-Meneville, a celebrated French naturalist, says that if the rear portion of this wonderful snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part and a sort ot circle formed the insects will keep moving round and round in that_circle for hours and hours without apparently noticing that they are not getting on in their journey. If the procession be broken in two, the portions will re unite in a short time. The Norwegian peasants, when they meet one or these trains, will lay some article of their clothing, such as a belt or handkerchief, on the ground in front i.-f it. If the procession passes over it, it is regarded as a good sign; but if it makes away round, the re verse is believed.—Chicago Record. PLAYING POWER. Jnwt How Great a Force Jn Expended on the Piano. The amount of power expended on playing on a piano has recently been figured out in away which, if not alto gether accurate, is at least interesting. Commenting on the statement that it really requires more force to sound a note gently on this instrument than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Wo man’s Life, it is easy to verify it, if one takes a small handful of coins and piles them on a key of a piano. When a sufficient quantity is piled 1 on to make a note sound, they may be weighed, ami the figures will be found to be true. If the pianist is playing fortissimo, a much greater force is needed. At times the force of six pounds is thrown upon a single key to produce a solitary effect. Witli chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sounded simultaneously, though a greater out put of force is undoubtedly expended. This is what gives pianists the won derful strength in their lingers that is often commented on. One of Chopin's compositions has a passage which takes two minutes and five seconds to play. The total pres sure brought to bear op this, it is es- I timated, is equal to three full tons, i The average “tonnage” of an hour's playing of Chopin’s music varies from 12 to 84 tons. The Landlord Outwitted. In the main hall of one tenement, on the ground floor, we c-o.unted 17 chil dren. says Jacob A. Riis in The Atlan tic. The facts of life here suspend or dinary landlord prejudices to a certain extent. Occasionally it is the tenant who suspends them. The s 1 iceman laughed as lie told me of the ease of a mother who covet ed a flat into which she well knew her family would not be admitted. The landlord was particular. She knocked, with a troubled face alone. Yes, the flat was to let. Had she any children? The woman heaved a sigh. “Six, but they are all in Greenwood.” The landlord's heart was touched by such woe. He let her have the flat. By night bo was amazed to find a flock of half a dozen robust youngsters dom iciled under his roof. They had indeed been in Greenwood, but they had come back from the cemetery to stay. And stay they did, the rent being paid. Seising; the Opportunity “Miss Amanda,” said the somewhat elderly but well preserved bachelor to the sparkling young woman with whom lie occasionally spent an even ing, “1 think it is a shame the way you treat that young Hankinson. If i were he I wouldn’t let you play fast and loose the way you do. 1 would simply come and carry you off.” “If you were be, Mr. Upagain,” she replied, with downcast eyes, “perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to carry me off.” Upon which hint Mr. Upagain im mediately spake, and the invitations are out.—Chicago Tribune. A Fair Jury. In a suit, between father and son be fore a Hoosier justice of the peace the sextet comprising the jury came in after three hours' deliberation with the following impartial verdict: “We the jury agree to find judgment for neither plaintiff nor defendant and find that each pay half the costs.” It is said the verdict struck every one as being so unusually fair that even the parties to the action were satisfied.—Case and Com ment.

Mode or Solid Wood. Tho very finest < f doors are made nowadays of veneer <>n a body of pine. n when made of mahogany or eomtt other costly wood doors have to bo ve neered. The body of the door is made of a plain, straight grained mahogany, ■while the surfaces are veneers of fine wood. In the finest doors the body is made of selected white pine, free from sap and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in to narrow strips and then glued to gether. The outer edges of this door are faced with what is called a veneer, but which is really a strip of the fine wood half an inch or more in thickness. The inner edges of the frame, by the panels, are covered in the same manner with thick strips, in which the ornamental i moldings or carvings are made and which are grooved to receive the panels. This built up frame of white pine, ■with edges of the fine wood, is then I veneered with the fine wood. In some lighter doors the panels may be of solid mahogany, but in the finer, larger and heavier doors the panels also are made of sheets of white pine with a veneering of the fine wood, so that the entire door is veneered. It would he difficult, if not impossi ble, to procure at any cost mahogany lumber in fine and beautiful woods of sufficient size for the larger doors. Tho built up and veneered door of pine wood, however, has every appearance of a solid door, and, made of selected veneers, it may be more beautiful than a solid door would be. It is more serv iceable and remains longer perfect. Its cost is about half what a solid door would cost.—New York Sun. WASHINGTON RELICS. Article* of I'ricele** Worth Kept In the Xatioiuil MiiMcum. One of the most interesting relics in the National museum at Washington is the camp chest used by Washington throughout the Revolution. It is a com pact affair about the size of a tourist’s wicker chest for cooking of the present day, 2’_> feet long, 2 feet wide, 1 foot high, and it contains an outfit consist ing of tinder box, pepper and salt boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron and plates. Every bit of the outfit save one bottle, which is broken at the shoulder, looks strong enough to stand another campaign. Near by are tho tents used by Wash ington—three in number. Ono is a sleeping tent, 28 feet long, with walls i 6 feet high and a roof with a 6 foot pitch. It is made of linen. Tho other two are marquee tents of smaller size, one with wells, the other a shelter tent open on the sides. That tho tenting ma terial of Revolutionary days was good stuff is proved by tho excellent condi tion of these tents, which sheltered the great commander through all his severe campaigns. Here also is Washington’s uniform, worn by him when he gave up his com mission as commander in chief of the army, at Annapolis in 1783. It consists of a big shadbelly coat of blue broad cloth, lined and trimmed with soft buckskin and ornamented with broad, flat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat and breeches. The size of tho garments (which are in a state of excellent pres ervation) testify to the big stature of the Father of His Country and sug gest that he had an eye to a fine ap pearance in his drees. Washington Post. Factorie* Without <“binineyn. The statement that a chimney, the third or fourth tallest in the world, has just been completed at a cost of $53,- 000, and the announcement that the most gratifying success has attended the use of forced draft, without any chim neys whatever out of the ordinary, ap pear in contemporary journals. Tho ex periment of forced draft gives promise of great economy in fuel, as well as doing away with the expensive and un ornamental chimney. Tho draft arrange ment consists of a largo fan, which is connected with a 4 by 4 double cylinder engine. The fan has a wheel 54 inches in diameter and runs at almost any rate of speed desired. The draft is something prodigious and makes it possible to em ploy fuel of a lower grade than any heretofore used. Instead of tho best Cumberland coal, a mixture of Cumber land and screenings has been tried. The cost of operating the fan, even with im perfect apparatus, is something liks SBOO per annum.

"A man who travels a good deal comes to know towns because of certain points that are usually entirely person al with him. Sometimes a bad hotel, sometimes an extremely early train, will stamp a characteristic on a town. I remember that my old friend Bill Nye was once chatting with Senator Shirley of Maine and remarked upon the fact that he (Nye) was born at Shirley, in the senator’s state, adding that the town had doubtless been nam ed for one of the senator's ancestors. “ ‘I didn’t know,’ said the senator, 'that there was such a town in Maine as Shirley. ’ “ ‘I didn’t know it either,' said Nye, until I was born there!’ ” And the poet went on with his writ- 1 iug.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. i HE COWED THE BULLY. i ; Ha rol<l Frederic’* Encounter With a I Lordly PriHMluu Lieutenant. Harold Frederic’s self confidence and power of dominating strangers stood him in good stead in one of his first visits—if not his very first visit—to Berlin. The incident as ho related it seemed natural enough to an American not brought up in awe of a military ; caste, but to those who knew Germany it was almost surprising that he came through it with his life. He had been paying some formal diplomatic calls, and in the evening dropped in at the Case Bauer in the unwonted glory of a frock coat and a tall silk hat. This hat was carefully hung on a hat stand, and Frederic sat down to read an English newspaper just arrived. Enter a particularly fine specimen of the lieutenant, booted and spurred and sworded and epauletted. He brushed against the hat stand,knocked Frederic’s bat over into the sawdust and swag ■ gered to his seat without so much as ' looking around. The slight to the hat was more than Frederic could endure. In a towering passion he went to the lieutenant, stood over him and pointed to the object on the floor. ‘‘Pick up that hat, sir!” he roared. The officer stared amazed; the waiters were par alyzed with terror at hearing one so much more than human so addressed by a civilian. ‘‘Pick up that bat!” re peated Frederic in a tone more menac ing than before. And the lieutenant did what he was told. He was as irresisti bly dominated by the courage and force of the man as a schoolboy before his master, or perhaps be thought Frederic carried the customary west American Mt ■■ 1 ’ The Danger of Oi*eM*e. The danger from a case of diphtheria , in New York at any season of the year is far greater than the danger from a case of yellow fever in the same place. Still persons who would shun a street i where a case of yellow fever existed , would deliberately enter the apartment . of a person suffering from diphtheria. A serious offlbreak of typhoid fever , creates but little consternation, and the presence in our midst of innumerable . cases of tuberculosis, a disease which is , responsible for an incredible number of deaths, is looked upon with indifference , by the public. The misconception in regard to the danger from this class of j diseases often renders the efforts of i health officials ineffectual. —Alvah H. , Doty, M.
