“Thegreatest business mind lever
ran up against was possessed by the
formes proprietor of a meat market out
in Germantown,” said a street car con
ductor the other day as his car was
waiting on Front street. “This butcher
bad a fine, squeaky voice, which you
could hear a block away. Tricky? Yes,
that’s just what you would call it I
used to watch him sometimes when
he was waiting on customers, and it
was positively amusing to see the ap
parent ease with which he would make
a two pound steak weigh, apparently
three or more pounds.
“He would take a couple of pounds
of meat and throw it on the scales so
that the pointer would show four pounds
and then taka it off before the scales
could register the true weight ‘There’s
just four pounds exactly, ’ he would say
to the customer in that squeaky voice
of his, and then continue with the state
ment quickly made:‘Four times 12 is
58. Call it 60, ’ and unless the customer
was watching him closely he would al
ways get even change.
“He was in the meat business only a
few years and amassed a competency.
Then he left it. What worries meis
how he is going to get along nq.w. I un
derstand he is in the real estate business,
and I wonder how he works it when he

The Only Time There
The necessity that there shall be only
one man who “has the say” in a mili
tary command is thoroughly recognized
in the United States army. A story is
told ’of General Shafter which illus
trates the punctilio of the regulars in
this regard. f ‘ -
At a certain frontlet post at which
Shafter, who then held an inferior rank,
was commander many years ago, a dis
cussion arose among several officers as
to the exact time of day. A captain,
With his watch in his hand, said:
“It is now exactly 8 o’clock.”
“Oh, no!” said a lieutenant. “By
my time it’s eight minutes past 3."
A third young officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. “I know my time is
exactly right, ” he said, “and my watch
says two minutes past 3. ”
At this juncture Major Shafter looked
at his silver watch.
“I don’t know what your watches
say, ” he remarked, “but I wish you to
understand that in this command it is
five minutes past 8.”
Then the young officers remembered
that the authority of the commanding
officer extended even to the time of
day.—Youth’s Oompanion.
A Useful Coffin.
It may not be generally known that
the Dutch Boers at the Cape> especially
those living in remote districts where
material is expensive and labor difficult
to obtain, frequently purchase at least
one coffin beforehand which is placed in
a conspicuous position In the “voor
kamer” or principal sitting room and
utilized as an article of furniture, for
ornament or as a receptacle for clothing
and other oddments.
One farmer well known to the writer
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
30 years ago. During that period he has
buried three wives each of whom had
to be content with coffins of the com
monest material and roughest work
manship while his own awaiting its
possessor stands in all its luster of pol
ished teak and silver mountings.
For the present the old gentleman
uses it as a couch for his midday nap in
order, as he sometimes remarks with
grave humor, that he may get accustom
ed to it.—-Cape Times.
A Gentian Word Serpent.
A Corman correspondent comes to the
rescue of his countrymen, concerning
whom we expressed surprise that they
should prefer to use word of four syl
lables when another word expressing
the same thing in 40 syllables was
available. He sends us a oopy of The
Kolnische Volkszeitung, in which oc
curs a sentence of 007 words, occupy
ing 69 lines of the newspaper.
This word serpent occurs in a legal
judgment, and even the printers got to
hate it after setting up about 450 words
of it. So they put in a fujl stop, which,
like a rifle bullet in the spine of a boa
constrictor, killed the whole sentence.
But it must really be nice to have news
papers in which you can begin to read
a sentence at breakfast, continue it in
the train and triumphantly reach the
verb at office.—London Globe.

GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.
Kot In Rlehmoud. but in Charlotte,
Where Be Ci red.
Every now and then wo see in some
newspaper the query, “ Where is Pat
rick Henry buried?” and tourists Lu
Richmond constantly ask to be shown
his grave, with the mistaken idea that
it is in that city, where much sf his
public career was passed. Few people
comparatively know that the man who
acquired the title of “The Tongue of
the Revolution” lies in a quiet grave
on the estate in Charlotte county where
he formerly lived. Over it is a marble
slab inscribed with one line, “His fame
his best epitaph. ”
The estate lies on Staunton river, 38
miles from the town of Lynchburg, near
the border line which separates Char
lotte and Campbell counties. It derived
its name of Red Hill from the peculiar
color of the soil in that vicinity. When
Patrick Henry bought the place, it com
prised about 8,500 acres. The land is
rich—there was a saying in the neigh
borhood that poor land and Henry could
never be mentioned together—earn
grows there as high as a man on horse
back; there is a general air of smiling
fields and abundant prosperity. Its sit
uation in early times was very remote.
Neighbors were few, one of the nearest
being the celebrated John Randolph of
Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soli
4nde 15 miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry’s
grandson, William Wirt Henry, a
clever, cultivated gentleman of the
“old school ” He has in his possession
some most interesting relics of his cele
brated grandfather, including (jhe desk
he always used, which still contains his
letters from Lafayette, Washington,
Madison and other great then of early
days; the large, round backed chair in
which Patrick Henry died and a portrait
of him by the elder Sully, under which
hangs a yellowed slip of paper, signed
by Chief Justice John Marshall and
several others ot his friends, testifying
to the faithfulness of the likeness. —

READING SEALED LETTERS.
A German Scientist Shows How This Maj
Be Aecompliahed.
It is not generally known that sealed
letters may in many cases be read with
out opening the envelopes or doing them
the least injury. It was discovered Sy a
German physiologist by the use of an
embryoscope, or egg glass, that the
shells of eggs were of very unequal
thickness.
It occurred to him to make experi
ments in order to ascertain how many
leaves of ordinary letter or official pa
per must be laid above and below a
written leaf in order to make it illegible
to a highly sensitive eye in the direct
sunlight. He found that after he had
rested his eye in a dark room for 10 or
15 minutes he cold read a piece of writ
ing over the mirror of the embryoscope
that had been covered with eight layers
of paper.
He called in other observers to con*
firm thia The letters, however, that
could thus be deciphered were written
in dark ink on one side of the paper
only. If fouy written sides were folded
together, and especially if there had
been crossing, it was hard to make out
the drift of the writing, and there are
some kinds of writing which, "when
folded twice or thrice, admit too little
light for the purpose of decipherment
In this way possibly many of the per
formances of “clairvoyants” may be ex
plained. By means of the egg glass it
Is, as a rule, easier to make out the con
tents of letter or telegram without the
slightest tampering with the envelope
than it is to detect the movements of
the embryo in the egg.
Suppose the writer of a billet, the
contents of which are known only to
himself, lets it out of his hand and loses
sight of it for five minutes. It may be
readily carried either into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
light and be read by the aid of the egg
glasa The placing of a piece of car
tridge paper in the envelope or the col
oring of it black is a means of defense
at hand.
A Bunnew School.
The uproar was like that of a run
away engine tearing through a tunnel
The floor was littered with youngsters
lying on their stomachs, and all bawl
ing with an energy indicative that
somebody was hurting them. Long,
slim, scratched upon slips of palm leaf,
the equivalent of books in Burma,
were spread before the scholars. Making
the lads shout is the approved method
of elementary instruction. When the
master discovers any lagging in lung
exercise, a long switch begins to sing
through the air. Quiet, serious study is
exploded. The Burmese educationists
argue that so long as a boy is shouting
his mind is occupied. When he is silent,
he is certain to be scheming mischief.
Therefor the best shooters are the best
pupils.—UraveL'
Cruel Spaniards.
Spanish officers as well as men gener
ally incline to cruelty and treachery.
Here is a story in point, told by an ex
cellent authority:
► “In Alcala, the Guardia Civil —that
is, one of the crack troops—was after a
robber band. One of the robbers was
caught Being prtfinised a full pardon,
he gave away his comrades. This man
had no sooner signed the paper that
served as his death warrant for his late
friends when the officer in charge said,
‘We will begin with him. ’ The robber
was immediately shot in the back of his
head.’’
In 1870 Japan was visited by a terri
ble epidemic of smallpox, which almost
decimated Yokohama. Vaccination was
made compulsory in 1896. The Japanese

fact that pockmarked foreigners were
rarely seen in Japan.

“I often hear of the magic number,”
said someone. "What number is it?”
“Wmr’nine, of course,” replied
oome one else. “There are nine muses,
you know, and you talk of a nine days'
wonder. Then you bowl at nine pins
and a cat has nine lives.”
“Nonsense,” broke in another.
“Seven is the magic number; seventh
heaven, don’t you know, and all that;
seven colors in the rainbow; seven jjays
in the week; seventh sou of a seventh
son—great fellow, and”—
“Tush, tush,” remarked a third.
“Five’s the number, you mean. A man
has five fingers on his hand and five
toes on his foot, and he has five senses,
and”—
“Three is undoubtedly the magic
number,” interrupted another, “be
cause people give throe cheers and Jonah
was inside a whale three days and three
nights, and if at first you don’t succeed,
try, try again—three times, yon see!”
This was received with some con
tempt by the company, and a soulful
youth gushed out:
“Two, oh, two is the magic number.
Oneself and one other—the adored one!
Just us two!”
A hard featured individual, who had
been listening to the conversation hith
erto unmoved, here remarked in a harsh
voice:
“The magic number Is Na 1 in this
world, and if you want to succeed never
forget it”
. An interval of deep thought on the
part of all followed, after which they
went in silently to supper.—Brooklyn
Citizen.
Jean BJchepin’e Carear.
The story of how he came to adopt a
literary career is sufficiently picturesque.
For some time he had picked up a pre
carious livelihood by doing "odd jobs,”
including such prosaic occupations as
that of bootblack and casual porter on
the Quai Marseilles. One day he was
engaged by a gentleman to carry to the
railway station a heavy trunk. Arrived
at the station, there was an instant
mutual recognition. They were old col
lege chums. “What are you doing
here?” asked his friend. “Carrying
your trunk, I believe,” said. JeAn.
“Why do you do this?” “Because I
must. ” “Where do you live?” “Come
and see,” replied Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling—a miserable room in an
attic in the poorest quarter of the town.
Upon the table lay scattered heaps of
manuscripts—Jean's incursions in the
realms of poetry when the more prosaic
duties of the day were over. Looking
through them, his friend was astounded
at their quality. “Why do you carry
trunksand blacken boots when yon can
do work like this?” he asked. Richepin
had never given the matter a thought;
he had never deemed these products of
idle hours worthy of publicatioriT-Pub
lished they were, however, in a very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Bichepin has never looked back.—West

Ike Widow's Opinion.
In one of the suburban towns near the
capital lives a widow well endowed
with worldly goods, whose husband,
with a sort Qf posthumous jealousy, has
guarded against her re-marriage by
providing that she shall lose all her
property if ever she takes another hus
toend. She has been receiving attentions
for several years from an elderly Grand
Amy of the Republic veteran. She has
been very good to him too. Once when
he wanted to parade with bis comrades
she bought him an expensive blue suit
with brass buttons on it He wanted to
marry her, but the will of the selfish
dead man stood between. So after a
time he married somebody else. The
widow was brokenhearted. She recalled
suit with the brass buttons. She
recalled a hundred kindnesses shown
the old soldier. She bewailed his perfi
dy to her friends.
•‘Why,” said one of them, “what did
yon expect? He wanted a wife to make
a home for him. You couldn’t marry
him. So why do you complain?”
The widow wiped her eyes.
“I know I couldn’t marry him, ” she
said. “I didn’t really want to marry
him. anyway, but, you see, it was such
a heap of comfort to have a steady

PeculiartUea of th* Potato.
The opinion has prevailed among
housekeepers that it is the good potato
which breaks open when it is boiled.
A scientist who has made potatoes a
study instate that the good potato is tiw
one that remains quietly in its coating
of brown during all of the processes ot
cooking. Instead of the swelling and
bursting of the skin being caused by
the presence of starch it has been as
certained that albumen is the substance
that causes this breaking open. An or
dinary potato is made up of three
fourths of its weight in water, two
tenths in starch and one-fiftieth of ni
trogenous matter. If it cracks and falls
to pieces during the process of boiling,
it is deficient in albumen, and therefore
lacking in the most important constit
uent.—New York Ledger.
