Bondin’. Borne.tlo Contrivance..
Goodin acquired a comfortable com
petence by the exercise of his art, and ho
boilt a handsome villa at St Gervaif,
near Blola When he had retired from
business he amused himself by introduc
ing varons curious inventions into bis
place and the grounds attached to it
The garden gate was situated eomo 400
yards from the house. A visitor had
only to raise a diminutive brass knocker
and let it fall upon the forehead of a fan
tastic fuce—midring hut a faint sound—
when a largo bell was set In motion in
the villa.
At the same time the gate swung open
automatically, the plate bearing the
j "Robert Houdin" disappeared,
and another took its place on which was
engraved the word "Entrez.” When
the postman delivered the letters he hod
brought he was instructed to drop them
through a slit in the gate into the recep
tacle provided for this pnrposo. Tho
box, directly this was done, started of
its own accord on its journey to tho
front door of tho houso by means of a
miniatnro elevated railwoy.
□oudin invented, too, on ingenious
contrivance by which, whilo lying In
bed, he could feed his horse in a stable
fifty yards from the villa, for on touch
ing a small button there was put in mo
tion an apparatus that caused the exact
porttou 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 tho
grounds was so constructed that imme
diately any person sat down upon it tho
machine automatically traversed a nar
row bridge that spanned tho gorge, and
having deposited the occnpant on the
other side the bench returned to its orig
inal position.—Chambers’ Journal.
SVMt Yaugoance.
A good joko is told upon two St. Cloud
gentlemen', both of whom am well
known young men. One of them la a
married man. The other day two yonng
ladies from, well, It might hare been
Minneapolis, arrived on a visit to his
wife. Soon after their arrival the two
gentlemen conceived a diabolical idea.
A moose was captured and tied between
the bed clothes in the apartment occu
pied by the visitors shortly before they
retired. Tho reporter's informant re
frained from giving the tragic details of
the finding of the imprisoned nnimnl,
and it mast suffice to say that it was
a-w-f-a-lt There was no peaceful slum
ber for the visitors that night, and nntil
dawn was spent by the young ladies in
deliberating upon how to avenge the
above practical joke Thoy succeeded
most admirably.
Last night the two gentlemen, who
eecupied the tame room, retired asuxuaL
Occasionally they would remember some
thing about the moose and then a roar
of laughter would be heard. Bnt sud
denly everything grow etilL Then there
were some remarks that sounded like
"cuss words." and suddenly a prolonged
snuffing noise, and then the anxious
listeners knew that all was over,
rather under tho bed. It is explained
that when the two young men proceeded
to don what is commonly designated os
a "night dress” no ingress
could be discovered. Thoy were sealed
—hermetically sealed. Tho crash was
caused by tho fragile form of a man
falling to tho floor through a sheet, which
was mistakingly taken for a mattress.
The gentleman slept upon the floor.—St
Clond Times.

Mr. Armour at his desk overhead the

"I remember a rather funny experi
ence I had when Mayor Hewitt was in
office. Ton know the old gentleman
was very anxious to do the right thing
in regard to appropriations tor all the
city institutions, and in order to under
stand the needs of each he made re
markably thorough and careful investi
gations. He aent word to ns onoday
that ho would inspect the insane asy
lums on th,e island tho next day, so all
the commissions™ made arrangements
to accompany him. When the time
came there was Just an army of ns, for
beside the mayor and the commissioners
every paper in tho city sent its repre
sentative.
“We got along ell right on tho island
nntil we came to tho dodge'where the
most dangerous patients were kqpt.
Here Mr. Howitt stopped and said, *1
don't think we hod better go in there—
all of ns—for we will probably excite the
patients.’ Bat none of tho commission
ers or reporter* wanted to be left behind,
so we all went in, the reporters bring
ing np the rear.
"There was a big German woman, 83
years old, confined there, with whom we
bad had considerable trouble. I thought
sho was safo ont of tho way, bnt whan
wo opened the doors there she was
straight before us. The crowd nettled
her for a moment, and then with a yell
she rushed forward. There was a grand
rush—tho reporters turned tail and ran
ns fast as thoy could for the fence, whilo
tho commissioners streaked off in differ
ent directions, and poor Mayor Hewitt,
who could not get out of tho way, was
left facing tho wild woman.
"He did not stand long, however, for
in less timo than I can tell it sho hit him
in tho pit of liis stomach and doubled
him up on the floor, while his glasses
flew clear across tho room. The next in
stant the keopers had her in charge, and
Slowly the army of men gathered itself
together. While tho other commissioners
were dusting the mayor off I banded him
his glasses, and then ho tamed and looked
at us reproachfully as ho said, ’I told
you so.’ ”—Now York Tribune.

Tho bug is a very useful insect, bat
how ohjectionehlo it can mako itself on
occasions was shown by an incident
which occurred ona night on the Control
railroad of New Jersey. Tho milk train
was carrying two passenger coaches be
hind tho milk cars, and as the night
was worm the half dozen passengers
aboard had tho windows all raised.
Tho train had been standing on a side
track a few minutes when a swarm of
largo Jane bugs, attracted by the car
lights, flow in through tho windows.
In five minutes the seats won nearly
covered with the bugs, and they began
to crawl around tho legs of the passen
gers and to prove otherwise unpleasantly
officious. In fivo minutes the insects
had possession of the two cars and the
passengers turned out. Tho problem
which now presented itself was howto
gat the pests ont of the cars before tho
train started. A fire was suggested,
and while the passenger* gathered
brushwood and kindled a roaring Maze,
one of the brakomen went into the con
and pnt the lights 'ont The mao was
successful, tho bogs deserted the cars
and the passenger* went bock, shat
down the windows and sot in darkness
until the train started.—New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
Before tho Flag*
In a certain Now York mission is a
blight street fellow who, if this incident
may bo taken aa an Indication, bids fair
to develop the brains and the patriotic
sentiment of a good American citizen.
A gentleman announced hit intention
of delivering an address on political re
form in the neighborhood of the mission,
a particularly disorderly district He
and his friends were informed on good
authority that if the speech weromede
tho sp~iVes-would be pelted with rotten
egg*.
It seemed that tho proposed address,
which, it had been believed, would el
ert an important influence, most bo
given up. A email boy, between wbpm
and the speaker a friendship had devel
oped at tho mission, solved the difficulty
by an ingenious expedient
"I tell you what to do,” said be.

platform, and yon stand before the flag.
