Tho recent, death of a Detroit pioneer camo very near boiug followed by the skinning, und flailing of tho attorney who had faithfully served him for years. | As a niult of early investments and fortuitous circumstances tho old man had accumulated a handsomo fortune. Ilis wifq, died and three daughters wore left41s the widower’s solace. In the course of timo tho young ladies, bright anil handsome, were all married oil’, and 4>d well. They each liked to entertain “pa,” and rather vied with each other in se curing Ills presence at their respective hearthstones. At length one of tho girls suggested tho propriety of pa’s dividing It is fortune among his chil dren. They were to receive it anyhow, pa could always have a good homo among them, and their husbands might as well liavo the aid of his money in carrying on business. Pa acquiesced, had his lawyer split his wealth into three parks, and each child received her just proportion. Thou things wore diU'erent. Tho old man’s welcome was not as warm as formerly: neither were his meals. llo overheard one daughter complaining that she had been keeping pa for about throe months, and she thought it timo one of tho others should assume the burden. Tho old gentleman hadn’t lost his shrewdness and saw what was coming. He culled on his lawyer, whoso udvico was to keen quiet and work a scheme. “If I send any ono to you, take up with wlmt ho may propose and decline to discuss tho alliur with your chil dren.” Next day tho father was hugging a dismal lire and inwardly suffering from tho cold'looks about him. There was a caller announced to see him. Tho man went right to business. “Mr. , 1 want to borrow some money.” Pa saw tho point and asked: “How much?” “Three thousand.” “What security ?” “First mortgugo on city reul estuto.” “What interest?” “Seven nor cent.” “If my lawyer upproves of tho secu rity have him fix up tho papers and muke a check. I'll come down this af ternoon und-sign it.” Next day another borrower called, went through tho same talk, and ne gotiated a loan for $5,000. The daughters hud learned all by judicious eavesdropping and tho clouds which darkened the old man’s skies guvo \vuy to a hurst of sunshine. The best was not good enough for him. Each family was no\V as anxious to have him us it hud been to got rid of him, The host rooms, the best seat by tho fireside and the daily caresses of his. three girls camo to Ills daily lot. So it was at tho time of his death. After tho funeral tho lawyer was seen. From him it was learned that pa hadn’t loft u cent. Then thero was a pawing of tho uir and chain shot de nunciations from tho daughters, while tho sons-in-law talked seriously of mop ping the ground with the faithful at torney. But the lawyer hud made tho old ago of his client a pleasant one und was content.—Detroit News. _- r Cnrt0tn •_ r1 TO 6 DAY8.\ no* to] (MM Stricture. if rd osi j bj tho ~ r iuCliKksl6r .

Tho death of tho famous thief, Wnl- tor Stewart, alias Slicridon, in u Mon treal prison recalls a hold robbery committed in u diamond merchants store by him and a pal, ton years ago, which for skill and success has never been equaled in Philadelphia. Then Sherideu was tho most expert diamond thief in America, and a decoy jewel box in the possession of Joseph K. Da vidson, of No. 7188ansom street, is the only relic of tho daring theft und the mute reminder of the skill of tho mas ter thief. Though Sheridcn und his pal were arrested for the crime some timo ltiter not a shadow of tho jewels were ever seen by the victim or tho detectives. The box is a tin one about eight inches long, four inches wide and ono inch deep. It contains white and blue pa pers, usuully inclosing loose stones, but salt is the substance in them. To ward the end of March, 1880, Sheri- den, in company with Dave Cum mings, another noted crook, visited Davidson’s place and purchased for $80 a diamond ring. They carefully noted the exact shape, size and appearance of the diamond box while selecting tho stone from the collection, Two days later they came buck, look ed at tho box again and departed with out purchasing. When Davidson, ex amined his trusty box he found its counterpart in its place filled with the sal t paper. While the salesman wushusy they cleverly substituted the fulse box ana were perfectly successful in play ing their trick.—Jeweler’s Review. Referring to the effects of electric light upon books, a public librarian says: “An attempt lias been made to prove that the electric light is, after all, more injurious to hooks than gas. It is certainly true, if paper made from wood fiber is exposed to the electric light, or indeed to the sun or to strong • dayiight, it will turn yellowish, while gas flames do not produce any similar effect. But gas burning in a library acLs upon the bindings of books not merely when they are opened out for reading, hut all the time they stand closed upon the shelves; so that, even if wo leave the risk of fire out of the question, the electric light is far C referable for libraries. What might e the case if wo could produce gas absolutely free from sulphur, I cannot say.’’—Exchange. They Ooulil Drop n Nlolcel In tho Shit and Get Kicked Soundly. “I liavo a scheme," said a stock speculator tho other -lay, “for making a heap of money. Fcm- years and years I’vo hoard men complain down hero and declare that they ought to bo kick ed. I don’t know how many hundreds of times, when I’ve boon standing near a ticker, I’vo seen a man drop tho tape and exclaim, angrily, ‘I’m an idiot—I ought to bo kicked;’or per haps lie would announce his intention to kick himself full of holes. Unfor tunately—or fortunately—his friends don't fool like accommodating him, and as to tho other plan nature 1ms prohibited that. My plan is to have built a number of lay figures, with interior mechanical arrangements, which would put a wooden foot into action upon tho dropping of u nickel into tho slot. They could bo placed in convenient localities. “Thus those grumblers could gratify their wishes to lie kicked. Tho man who bought stocks and lost his money when lie know ho ought to hnvo sold —and their number is legion —could go to one of tho figures, drop a nickel in the slot, and got kicked. If ono kick didn’t satisfy mm lie could invest unothor nickel and get another kick. The worst grumbler in the street could gratify himself by tho outlay of fifty cents. It would be a boon to tho mini who ‘lmd a straight tip and didn’t take it,’ and to tho liiun who ‘know Kala mazoo preferred was going up, but didn’t buy it,’ If all those fellows down here who are continually tulking about kicking themselves would put their throats into practical form a com pany formed for the manufacture of tho machines would grow rich in no lime." “Yes," said another speculator, “that is a good idea. It would pre vent a repetition, perhaps, of an un fortunate occurrence which I recently witnessed. OAo of my friends, ordi narily a very peaceable man, lost Sev ern! thousand dollars by tho rupiil de cline of a cortain stock. Ho declared that ho had bought it against lim judg ment. Ho was so upset that ho Hew oyt. of tho broker’s olllco in a terribh frame of mind. On tho street In looked around for some wuy to ‘gel oven.’ He saw an innocont man hav ing his boots polished. Ho rushed up to him, kicked the bootblack’s box into tho middle of the street, and gave the gentleman a sounding smack on the cheek. . “ ‘Confound you,’ ho said, ‘you’re always gelling your hoots bluekod,’ Now York Times, Homo Pretty Compliment*. When tho groat Duke of Welling ton said "he always slept woil when Stapleton Cotton was on guard," he paid a sterling compliment \vliicli must liavo grnliflea that officer—if ho heard it—us much as a promotion in ran would liavo clone. A little absurdity about a compli ment often gives it point. A Spanish lover is reported to liavo said to liis mistress: “Loud ino your eyes; I want to-night to kill a man.” Mrs. Moore, the wifo of tho poet, was noted for her benevolence to the poor in tho vicinity of their country residence. On one occasion u guest remarked: “I take it for granted that no one is dying in our neighborhood, or wo should not ho favored with Mrs. Moore’s company." Not long ago, when a brief matri monial engagement was broken oil', a near relation of tho gentleman, one who fully appreciated tho high quali ties of her from whom tho sometime lover was sundered, said to tho young lady: “You have only lost unideal; holms lost a reality. " A sweet com pliment this, under tho circumstances —Uliicugo Tribune. A Motal That Malta Kuslly. A metal thut will rneltat such alow temperature as 150 dogs, is certainly u curiosity, but John E. White, of Syra cuse, N. Y., hassucopeded in producing it. It is an alloy composed of lead, tin, bismuth and cadmium, and in weight, hardness and color resembles type motal. So easily does it melt that if you pluco it on a comparatively cool part of the stove with a piece of puper under it, it will melt without tho pa per being scorched. Another peculi arity about it is that it will not retaio heat, and becomes cold the moment it melts. It is used in the manufacture of tho little automatic Are alarms for hotels. They give an electric' alarm when the metal melts owing to tho rising of the temperature by Are.— Washington Critic. FArMverInK Mlueri. While in southern California 1 found that there were many men work ing singly in placer mines under most adverse circumstances, and obtaining very small remuneration for their toil. Some of them succeeded in washing out but $2 or $3 worth of gold dust per day, while a few of them occasionally washed out as high as $10 worth per day. Many of them remain a very short time in the diggings, hut others work away year after year in the liopa of striking it rich some day.—St'. Louis Globe Democrat. Tli© Cocuino Habit. The cocaine habit takes its place be side the morphine habit, with symp toms of marasmus, delusions and hal lucinations of frightful appearances and small living tilings creeping on tho skin, together with insomnia and loss of appetite. Tho symptoms of co caine poisoning are more ‘obstinate than thoso of morphine, and may last for months after the cessation of the drug.—Cor, Washington Star. That Crotchety Motor. A gas meter is to my notion a thing of consent. I would liko to liavo some one convince mo that it in any way indicates tho amount of gas burned, os a bushel or u pound represents something that wo can prove up. Tin- gas meter will register air blown into it as well us gas that passes through it. Would it not ho a more rational way to assess gas bills us tho water depart tnent does—on tho basis of tho num ber of rooms in a house! Any one who will muke the experiment will find that if every burner in tho-house is lit and turned full head on every night for a month that the bill for thal month will be no larger than usual The gas that is forced through the motor, if not burned, will leak away anyhow. That is the explanation ol gas bills rendered for months when n house is closed up and no gas burned. Some safeguard against waste is hi turn oil' the gas behind the meter dur ing the day. Interview in St. Loui. Globe-Democrat. Stael nml Iron Hollar*. In 1887 1 made about 125 stool and about 125 iron boilers; in 1888 about 270 steel and 25 iron, and this year, out of nearly 300 boilers, I will only turn out 2 of iron. Of 132 boilot- plate mills in this country, but two are making iron plates exclusively. If the steel boilers cost more, I suppose tin- demand for them would increase loss rapidly, hut tho prico of stool and iron nlato is so neurly equal, and tho steel boilers are so fur superior in every way thut it may bo said thut iron boil urs are out of dato. Iron plates luck what boiler makers call homogeniety —that is to say, evenness of tonsile strength or equality in tho matter ol expansion and contraction. Thut quality is wlmt makes tho stool boiler ynluublo, and tho lack of it makes tho iron one unreliable. Tho wrought iron boiler must go.—Manufacturer in St. Louis Globo-Domocrat. 11 mormon In Dmigor. A correspondent writes of a child who was found by its mother stroking and playing with a live rattlesnake. “Bitty worm I pitty worm I" murmur ud tho child. “Mamma, come sue my pitty worm I" With inexpressible hor ror the mother realized tho child’s dan ge.r, und for u moment wus poworloss and speechless. If tho reptile were disturbed or anger ed, her hoy’s peril would bo doubly great. She checked her first impulse to run and seize him, und culled quiet ly, "Eddie, don't disturb tho pretty worm, but coino ana get a lump ol sugar to feed it with." riio child stole softly away from tho snake, and ran to his mother unhurm- od. She snatched Him up und carried him to u place of safety; then she seized a club that lay near, und dis patched the* snake. It had six rattles, —Montreal Star. ( Tho KuIx-i'h Dully Jlre»<l.

The association was founded by ono largo hearted, largo brained man of wehlth, who planned tho scheme and furnished the capital.

They take sixteen pounds of blood, and us soon ns it begins to putre fy pour into it four ounces of muriatic acid and four ounces of.proto-sulphate of iron, previously mixed, which turn tho blood into a dark, dry powder that will keep for any length of time. A half pound of this is mixed with the soil over the roots of each rose bush. New York Sun. Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer roy al for Ireland, says tho stars known to exist number 100,000,000, but if any one added a nought or two to that to tal no doubt they would still bo with in tho truth; many gaseous bodies, hundreds of millions of miles across tho surface, are gradually cooling down, and may in course of time be come worlds. “Through to Atlantic City without change, eh?” remarked tho tramp, as he scanned the time table. “That suits mel Anyplace that I can travel to without change fills the bill.’’—Bur lington Free Press.
