SSpggjn;affjgQ> ,^- ^Lx ; THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1891. WAS A FOUNTAIN PEN. U3k «r ■J& . II 9{i, lA TlM U> Explain How li Worked, ,—- ' bit Foiled Ignomlnlonaly. Be wg* a prominent lawyer of Topeka. ♦ Brief* with him were a* thick as the annflowers that fringe the low bottoms of the silent Kaw in August. Always dressed in the most spotless of fashionably ent garments, he was the envy of straggling barristers and the ' cynosure of the ladies who promenaded the aristocratic avenues of Kansas’ fair capital. It was a terribly melting day in the scorching month of June, when, with a cool array of immaculate linen and sug gestively airy, snow white duck, he en tered the state library, where the ever faithful custodian of the precious vol umes of legal lore was pouring over his desk busily engaged in answering a mass of correspondence ever accumulating: the burden of his daily life of routine. “Why don't yon bny a fountain pen?' he asked! in an enthusiastic tone, as he pulled one of these little instruments out of his vest pocket. “You can't imagine w hat a vast amount of time one can save. I purchased one this morning, and if 1 could not procure another 1 would not take $1,000 for it “Why, don’t yon know that a man's arm travels, in dipping his pen in the ink alone, more than half a dozen miles in an ordinary day of bard writing? Just think what a wasto of muscular energy! Let me show you how easily the thing works." As he spoke ho attempted to unscrew the little cap, upon which a jet of the deceitful fluid, as fins as the spray from a lady’s robber bulbed perfume bottle, spurted oat and struck him fairly be tween the eyes and slowly trickled down his face. W, “I guess that I have unscrewed the wrong end. Wait until I try the other." Then, without replacing the cap he had withdrawn, he slowly took off the other, which, permitting more air in, out the treacherous ink flew in a stream as thick as a lead pencil, completely covering his face, vest and permeating his hair, fall ing down on his trousers, until his whole suit resembled the map of a swamp. With evident disgust depicted on every lineament, be slowly ejaculated: “Per haps if 1 had been educated in a poly technic school 1 would understand the mechanism of the darned thing oetter. Have yon a lavatory here that I may try and repair damages?" Whereupon he went out, a discomfited man!—Kansas City Star. LIFE'S ONWARD CURRENT. Forever onward Is tbe march-. From beastly hoof to haad- From savsc* to tbe oner Mod sap? - From saurian types to tffiui: From man to angel—llm'M*** * As are the starry spheres— Procreation hath not halt nor l>3uatf In God's eternal years! From darkest cloud the lightato*; dash. From nothing—life Divine From gloom to glory is the Ian. The unvarying design. A world of good invites our eyes, And charms the willing mind- But ho who only misery finds Blasphemes the life Divine No treacherous gift was life to man. With deadly hate concealed. For Love Divine the method planned. And all trill be revealed When o'er the clouds that hover hero Tho risen soul surveys The mansions of the eternal spheres. The land of endless days —Tho Arena. For Rent: Two Excellent Exposure of One's Weaknesses. IA special weakness of a man is ex posed by his indiscriminately accusing others of tho same defect. When a per eon, in criticising the character or dis position of others, applies with a certain blind persistency one or two common faults to them all, now i>ereliance hitting the mark and now flying far wide of it, we maybe sore that these very faolts are possessed by the critic in a marked degree, thongh they aro often in a meas ure concealed by the complications of his own chancier. They seem to stand before his mind's eye as glasses of various colors, giving corresponding hues to whatever is viewed through them, os ho who looks at the sky through a colored window will seo it red, yellow, green or other wise, as the ca*o may be. One who de sires to rid himself of faults will do well to scrutinize himself in this respect, and if ha finds • tendency to harp on tome particular weakness of human nature he may feel assured that there he can apply the pruning knife.—New York Ledger. Itumbaj Oyxtera. Tho very newest thing about town Is the “Bombay oyster." Tho “Bombay oyster” isn’t an oyster at all, of course, bat this is the name that has been bestowed on it It is a composition sufficiently simple and common to please the lean and lard ed purso alike. It is nothing more than an egg dropped unbroken into a tumbler, and (lclngad.wiUi vinegar, and sprinkled with pepper ana salt It is consumed always before break fast, and by a great many sporting men in tho dty. One of its effects is to counteract the evil temlencMt of over eating. Some stout men like a "Bombay oyster” in the morning, and eat nothing again until [boon. For a bilions stomach it is the finest kind of a remedy.—Boston Globe. Protector Against Nicotine. An electrical engineer of Gurpbin Springs claims tho invention of a mouth piece for pipes that will prevent any connection of the -nicotine deposited in smoking with tho tongue. He makes “a hollow ball, with a short tabular or slotted stem attached to it. which is in Krtecl into tho usnal orifice is ‘she mouth ■^S of the pipe, or cigar or cigarette bolder, so that the smoko shall joss out through the tube or slotted stem and ' upper slotted part of the ball, and the tongue shall rub against the ball in the month of tho orifice, and thus avoid or prevent the saliva of the mouth from go ing or working back in the mouthpiece." ^ —New York Telegram. Tho Height of Our Anrtoon. Catching Train, tu Chirac.,. Chicago's hardest worked people are the ones living in the subtirlw. Life to them means just one thing, nnd that is “to eatch a train." A man’s business, a woman's shopping, patience, pleasure, pride is built up around that one idea, nnd everything is sacrificed to it. Rush ing down Lake street Saturday night was a short, fleshy man nnd a big round watermelon. The watermelon was car ried by a manufactured rope harness, and the seals was about evenly bal anced. Sometimes the man was a little the heaviest, and then again the water melon would swing the man off the ground, but both were in perfect har mony as to the one idea. While the swinging motion accelerated speed it was a decidedly dangerous thoroughfare for people not governed by this axle in the wheel of life. As the watermelon and the man reached one of those magnificent stone portals that is an index to the grandonr of the depot at the foot of Lake street the train whistled. The entrance was narrow. There was not room for the watermelon, the man and theidea. The balance hap pened to bo on the side of tho man, he being held down by the idea. The watermolon in the nir swung against the carved stone. Man, balance and idea hit the other sid-. The water melon got the worst of it. It was a rock that most anything would split upon. Harmouy nnd the combination was : broken. With a gasp and a look the man threw the rope harness in with the rich red lusciousness of the wrecked I watermelon, gathered up his balance j and idea and rushed on. The water-! melon wa3 sacrificed, bnt he caught his train.—Chicago Herald.

The Emperor Frederick HI and hia eon, Maximilian 1, both died from eat ing too heartily of melons. Nalentia, the 8panish theologian, died because he was accused by the pope of having falsified a passage in St Augus tine. Cheke, the great English scholar, died of grief at having been perverted from his religions belief: It is laid that after Malherbe, the great French writer, had been dead over an honk that he raised the drapery and reproved one of the watchers for nsing a word that waa hardly pure French! Alonzo Cano, the French painter and sculptor of tbe Seventeenth century, is said to have had such a fine sense of pre cision and symmetry that he refused to kiss a poorly executed crucifix, even thongh on his deathbed. Angeled, a Milanese actor, waa to overcome by the enthusiastic reception accorded him on hi. first appearance in Naples that he literally died of joy be fore the conclusion of the evening’s en tertainment—SL Louis Republic. Break roll on liar. Mahogany. This of all seasons is tho one when a bare polished mahogany table makes a breakfast of melons, fish, rice cakes and coffee a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

To be most effective neither scarfs nor mats most be used. Have some pretty tile for the coffee pot rest and instruct the girl to keep tbe hot plate* on the sideboard. Tbe fish and cakes will be passed around, and the basket of rolls, the platter of melon and the bowl of china aster or dahlias will he furniture enough for tho center.—Kansas City Times. HI.

MA6AZINES H Although it Is needles to tell readers SjHufeat all .peculations upon this matter without foundation, it is curious to jjfejjfcB in a work published in 1718 by al member of the French Academy of Sci fiieva the following statements. Ac cording to this author, Adam was 133 feet 0 inches in height, while Eve’s stat ure is asserted to have been 118 feet 0 inches and 9 linen. Noah, we are told, attained a height of only 27 feet: Abra ham waa barely 20 feet in stature, while Moses is alleged to have me.tr,ired oply 13 feet to height—J. N. Hallock in Christian at Work.

A man with a box on lusshonhlcr was making bis way along ChamU.rx street the other day when it fell to the walk. After two or three efforts to replace it he appealed to a man in a doorway with: "Give me a lift, please?" “Can’t do it," was the prompt reply “And why not?” “Because I never mix bounces. 1 am a plumber and the man next door is in the elevator business. It’s for him to give you a lift" The man with the box thought for a moment, grained :n a good nature.I wry, and by an extra grant rwhouldereJ tbe box and passed on.—New York Sun Fashion Plates.
