missus DIDN’T WANT His AUTOGRAPH. ' But Was Pacified When She Learned What It Was Worth. A certain lady whose home is in the suburbs of London, have in their em- ploy a cook, whose ways are invariably ' so methodical and her cooking so near perfection that, were she to leave her present home, one-half of the mistresses in the district would be eager to secure her services. Never by any chance has dinner been‘late at Myrtle Villa, or the jo'mt under or over done, neither has any policeman crossed its threshold. But, treasure that she is, she came near to making a change of residence at the close of her very first month’s stay, says “Tid-Bits.” ' On the morning of the day on which her wages became due, her mlstress re- quested her to step into the study where her master was waiting to pay her. In a few moments she rushed from the study to the kitchen, where she had left he: mistress, and in less time than it takes to narrate had given the astonish- ed lady notice. “But whatever is the matter, Mary?” inquired her mistress. What has your master said or done to annoy you?” “He hasn’t said nuthin.” replied Mary, as she flourished acheck in her mistress’s face, “but he’s on’y given me this for a month’s salary. Not me; I ain’t no ortygraph collector, I ain't.” .FATHER M’GLYNN. Ills Present Parish and His Interest in His Duties. Little has been heard for a long time of Father McGlynn, who once figured so prominently before the public and who was severely disciplined for his activity in connection with the Anti- Poverty Society. After he had been deprived of his priestly functions Father McGlynn lived in retirement in South Brooklon until about eighteen months ago, when he was restored and assigned to the parish of St. Mary’s in Newburgh. The parish is one of the largest in that part of the State. It comprises 1,500 or 2.000 souls, and the priest has one assis- tant. Since he has been there Father McGlynn has attended quietly to his duties, so different in their nature from ‘ the hustle and activity of a city parish. No one who knows the man can doubt that the same intense interest in public affairs has been maintained beneath the surface. But since his unfortunate ex- p. iii-nee he has refrained from giving e:.',_..ession to radical theories. Father .‘iicl,~.lynn will probably be transferred in New York as soon as a vacancy 00- (3.131% in any large parish. Unemployed People and Vacant Lots. 3.

It is human nature to rejoice when a churl is taught a forcible lesson in po- liteness. and the more the rebuke is de- served the more will the lookers‘ on re- joice at the guilty man’s discomforture. A case in point occurred at the custom house at one of the port of entry on the Great Lakes. The inspectors were very courteous, and had been making only superficial examinations of the trunks and bags of the passengers, all but one of whom ap- preciated this leniency enough to render the inspectors all possible aid in their work. The exception was a young En- glishman, dressed in the height of fashion, who seemed to regard the in- spectors as personal enemies. When his turn came, the inspector said: “Have you a trunk, sir?” “That’s my trunk,” he answered shortly. “Will you kindly open it?” “Open it yourself l” As he spoke he threw his keys down on t0p of the trunk and looked at the inspector with a most insulting expression. The inspector said never a word, but in ominous silence picked up the keys, opened the trunk and began to examine its contents. Beginning with the tray he [went straight through the trunk, taking out and opening everything he found. He unrolled and separated every pair of socks, unfolded every piece of underwear, and shook out and explored the pockets of the] neatly fold- ed coats and trousers. When he had completely emptied the trunk, he check- ed it and moved on to the next, leaving the dude’s entire wardrobe in a heap on the floor. The dude stood looking doubtfully at him for a moment, and then exclaimed: “Here, you, who’s going to put these things back?” “Put ’em back yourself 1” answered the inspector, without looking .round. This the foolish: fellow had to do, while the crowd laughed. 1 Miners as Mail Carriers. A free delivery system is in vogue in the mining districts of the Rocky moun- tains, though the postal authorities have nothing to do with it. From every mountain, post office trails diverge up every draw and gulch. A minor set- ting ont for his cabin, perched some- where far up on a mountain, will take with him all the mail belonging to his neighbors, though they may live miles from his place. At each turning point a small box will be found nailed securely to the trunk of a stout old pine tree, and upon this box is scrawled the names of all the miners who must pass that tree in goingto their respective cabins. Into this box the last man from town depos- its all the mail belonging to miners liv- ing up that particular gulch. From that gulch a miner will occa- sionally descend for mail, and as he re- turnslto his trail he deposits in turn the several pieces of mail in other boxes placed at convenient points. In this way one man can save many a weary step to the other miners who live out the long winters in the very heart of the Rocky mountains. Small errands are done in a similar manner.

Avoided Poisonous Water. The Los Angeles Times says an in- stance of the intelligence of bees amounting almost to reasoning is re- lated bya mining man, Malcom Mc- Leish. .He is engaged at an abandoned . mine in this county cyaniding the old tailings, the plant including several tanks of waters strongly impregnated with c anide of potassium. 0n the beginning of operations, bees of swarms that had left the valley, came in from the mountains to drink. For three days they died by thousand of the water in the tanks. There was one tank of fresh water, however, that was untainted. After three days the bees continued to come in large numbers, but they all avoided the cyanide tanks. Not one would go there, and, of course, no more died. Their dead comrades proved a lesson, and thus they scores] another on the intelligence of bees. , The Value of Apples. ’ The apple is such a common fruit that very few persons are familiar with its remarkably few efficacious medicinal preperties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do is' to eat apples just before retiring for the night. Persons unitiated in the myster- ies of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the visions of dyspepsia which such a suggestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to a delicate system by- the eating of ripe and juicy apples just before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, be- cause it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than other fruits. It’éxcites the action of the liver, pro- motes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This is not all. The apple helps the kidney, secretions and prevents calculus growths, while it obviates indigestion and is one of the best known prevents. tives of diseases of the throat. Every bddy should be familiar with such knowledge,-——Bulletin of Pharmacy. ' I The First Occasion.

WE WILL SURELY FLY - XND WITHIN TEN ,YEARS AERIAL MACHINES WILL BE COMMON. Mr. Edison Says So. and Gives His Theo- ries. From Seventy-five to One Hun- dred Miles an Hourthe Speed, and Gun- Cotton the Motive Power. Thomas A. Edison says that within ten years aerial navigation will be an accomplished fact, and that there is nothing to preventus traveling through the air just above the treetops at a speed ranging from seventy- five to one hundred miles an hour. He thinks that a form of low-expld sive gun-cotton will supply the motive power. Mr. Edison is confident that he could invent a practical aerial machine if he was not engrossed with other matters at the present time. He has accomplished so many wonder- ful things which could not be believed until they were seen in practical opera- tion that the public is willing to be- lieve that he can do anything, no mat- ter how startling the proposition. Mr. Edison, forever experimenting, has devoted some time“? to the problem of aerial navigation. He has studied the matter carefully, so that what he has to say on the subject is not the mere haphazard guessing of the uninformed man. “So many minds are working on the problem now, he said, “that the time must be short when some one will strike the right principle. After that it will be plain sailing.” . “What is the right principle to your way of thinking?” he was asked. “It is hard to say what is "the right principle,” answered the wizard. “The machine, whatever form it takes, will have to rise by its own power and not by balloon power in any form. Any method employing gas for flotation is not practical. The whole problem will be solved when we get one horse power for every five pounds in weight of the flying machine. “You know,” he said, a reminiscent smile lighting up his features, “that I made a lot of experiments along that line once. Yes, I put a machine on a pair of finely adjusted scales. There were fans and a motor and all that sort of thing attached. I weighed the whole outfit and then applied the motive pow- er to the fans and other co-1trivances, and by watching the scales ascertained just how much those fans would lift with a certain number of revolutions. That was fun.” “Do you think the motive power for the flying machine will be electricity?” Mr. Edison was asked. “N—o,” answered the wizard, slowly. “I rather think that gun- cotton or some chemical that makes its own gas will furnish the motive power. The gun- cotton e... ioyed will not be of the high explosiv— -1.iality, of course, but rather in the n:»-».. no of celluloid gun- cotton. I took son; - stock-ticker paper here one day and made it into a lower form 'of gun- cotton and fed it between copper rollers. It didn’t explode, but ignited and flashed and the gas did the work, I got three thousand strokes a minute with them. There was a good deal of heat generated that could not be util- ized, but that could be overcome with- out difliculty.” “What speed could the aerial ma- chine attain with perfect safety?" “If the flotation i- all right a speed of from seventy- five to one hundred miles an hour ‘will be nothing. The friction of the air will be a very small matter. The speed will depend alto- gether on the amount of air friction and power employed. The flotation must be secured without the use of gas. It must be complete mechanical flotation, otherwise the flying machine will be at the mercy of the wind. “It is the displacement of water which makes so much power necessary in vessels. If we can get the same grip on the air that we can on water, friction and the like, will be but trifles, because we will not be doing any work against gravity. You know if we push anything along a horizontal line where there is no gravity, onlya small amount of power is required. It is on the grades that great power is required in locomotives to haul trains. On the levels only a small amount of power is necessary. “Horizontal propulsion will be the method in the successful aerial ma— chine. The flotation is the problem to be solved. If a machine is invented that will lift itself and two or three hundred pounds besides to a distance of fifty feet in the air and stay there, then the whole matter is solved and. becomes simply a question of details . for draughtsmen.” . “And how soon do you think this will be accomplished?” “Within ten years,” said Mr. Edison, promptly.
