Gam IllIoon and liajrplpva That Spread Lwatliotne leae. Th-re are few persons who walk along the streets of Loudon whose attention has not been directed to the exceedingly ingenious toys which are sold by the itinerant venders for the delectation of children. One of these is a hollow tube of paper, furnished with a short piece of bamboo at one end, up to which it is coiled bv the action of a very slight steel spring. On blowing into the bamboo the coil is unrolled and reaches forward nearly a yard. The sudden extension of this coil produced by. blowing in it is a source of great amusement. Toy bag pipes are also popular contrivances. These are not blown in the usual way, but the lreath of the ierformer is made to inflate a small india rubber ball, which, once blown into, supplies suf ficient air to play a few bars of any popular tune. Our contemporary. The Lancet, has called attention to the possible conse quences of buying these toys, which, it says, are presented to a child after hav ing been inflated by questionable breath, and perhaps wet with the moisture of the still more questionable lips of the vender. An infected mouthpiece, it says, has not unfrequently been known to be the origin of grave constitutional troubles. This is perfectly true. Persons who would hesitate to drink out of a glass that has been used will buy and present toys of this kind to their chil dren, not knowing by whom they have been used or by what disease they may be contaminated. Among the impover ished makers and venders sore throats, diphtheria and contagious fevers in ev ery stage may be raging, and children may contract fatal diseases even of a worse character than auy we have men tioned by blowing and using these ques t ioiiahle, toys. Surely it is only neces sary to call attention of persons to the evil, for careful supervision would pre vent the dissemination of loathsome disorders by these means. London Queen. In the Wrong Car. A passenger on an up town electric car had reached her street and wanted to get out. The car was full of people standing in the aisle, and as she thread ed her way they moved closer together to let her pass. She had nearly reached the door when she stumbled and felL Another passenger who got out at the same street had just left her seat, and into this the woman who stumbled fell heavily on her face. She at once rose and looked for the obstruction and saw that it was a large sample case. A nice idea," she said angrily, "to put a great thing like that in the mid dle of the car for people to fall over. I've sprained my wrist striking on the car when I fell over it." "Perhaps yon think I should stand up and hold it," sneered a man who was comfortably seated, while a dozen wo men stooL "Nil, sir; I think you should ride in a cattle car," said the angry woman as she escaped with her life and looked daggers after the retreating car. De troit Free Press Glrle Who Sell Their Hair. "Do we have many girls come to sell their hair? Well, I should say 60, but we don't make a business of buying on account of the risks we would have to run. I have had girls come to me and offer to sell their hair as it was on their heads. No; they don't get good prices, $1.50 to f'J.50 being as much as I ever gave. I know of one case, however, where a well known society woman took a fancy to the hair of a young lady she met accidentally, and she paid the highest price I have ever known for a head of hair. The youifg lady in ques tion had a luxuriant growth of golden brown hair, and one day she was ap proached by this lady, who was com pelled to use false hair, who said to her, 'Miss , if at any time you de sire to part with your hair, you can find a customer in me. ' The young lady was in need of pin money at the time and said, 'Well, I am not particular about keeping it now, as it is a little too light for my taste. ' So she agreed to have her hair cut, and in payment received f s. 50. If girls could always get such a sum-for their flowing locks, there would be a great many more short haired young ladies about the city." Pittsburg Dis patch. Ihingrroiu Surgery. Medical authorities have in some cases had reason to regret too active and energetic surgery in diseases of the nose and throat. It has in a number of instances appeared that partial or en tire deafness has followed operations, and complete loss of the sense of smell is not uncommon. Conservatism is gain ing ground among the best surgeons, and palliative treatment is recommend ed whenever there seems to be a chance that it might have the desired effect. The liest doctors know that the knife is a good servant, but an exceedingly bad master, and only those whose skill and judgment are likely to be faulty are willing to cut and slash on the slight est pretext.

"Wrnp th rujip nroinpl tho luxly, al w.iys jmt oil" h:t!iil 1 -1-iw 1 out- hand iili'ivc on tho r"i"', then IiU', " was th advice of Cajitain McAilam in rejily to my ir. ry of how to jri-t out of a huru- iim huil'iin Tiie question wa provoked l y 0"ins a number of hluc ronretl ilremon sp?ilin; dov:i a T" MiiK iideil from the sixth story of a hnil'l-.i-.u'. Theywi-ro testing fire and their t a-e :Mid confidence made me wonder why s i.::e of this h vol heudt-ihiess fotildirt he iin parted to women or men either, for that matter in eases of emergency. So I went i.'isid" tliejjveat, admirahly kept drilling rooms and intervioweil the captain. "Well," hp added, "yon can preach to women about the way to nso ropes and lire escapes, but when a person is scared out nf ) r .-i -uses yon can't expect her to do ea':::':y what she would trem ble to do in time of safety. "Why, 1 don't dare take a raw man and send him down from the sixth t-:ry for his trial. If 1 did, he would never appear af.'aiii. I p't him 'broke in' by commenciiiir at the last, then increas ing his slide, not rcachii:g the seventh ttory for two weeks. " "Then you don't think it silly for people to forget all common sense in time of fireV" I asked. "Never. Xo one valies more than I the horrible fueling of being caught in a trap. Fire ems to demoralize the bravest. Women are ju.-t as brave as men, for I have known a man to rush downstairs, leaving a wife ami five chil dren, when if all of Haeiibeek's ani mals were placed in afield and his child among them he would tbish over the fence alone to its ri M-ue. " "What's ber-t to remember?" "First, how to use the ropes that are placed in hotel rooms and should be in every private residence. They are at tached firmly t.'i a link in the window. Should the rope lie without appliances, simply drop it out of the window; then, sitting on tue sili, place the rojie around the 1hi.1v iimler the arms. Make no lo..p. only pass the mj: t nd of the rope over the other in front of the chej-t. As you lower yourself place the riiriit hand firm ly on the end of the rope, which reaches to th ground. This prevents the rope from slipping off the body. Throw the weight of the !mdy on that hand and guide with the left, which is m the up per end of the rope The friction nf the rop s passing each other over the chet prevents a too rapid uot-cent, and thus the hands are saved from severe blister ing, for as sen in as the rope cuts through the flesh man or woman will let go; the agony is too great. In descending keep the body near the wall and break the slide bv scraping the feet along the walls." "Suppose the fire broke out from a window b'dnw while the person is com ing down then what?" "The only thing is to swing close to the wall m:fil tin- heat is too intense, then give the body a herculean pii'di outward by th" feet from the wall. The momentum will send the body flying out into space, clearof the frames; then slide just as fast a.' rope ami gravita tion will fake you. even if the hands are cut. If is the only safe measure. There is no time to take any other pre caution. " Captain McAdam. however, does not approve of flic plain roie. It course the iron lire escape i-; every fireman's pref erence, if ir. is free, but sometimes it supports a mob that is equally danger ous. Again, cerrair. occupants arc cut off from it by tire, so nexf to tiiis comes a rope, attached to an iron pulley, which in turn is fa-tened to a hook in the window. ( )i:e end of the rone is thrown to tho ground; the other has a small loop which can tie quickly pulled to fit the Imji'v. It 9 slipped tinder the arms and the body lowered. No holding on is necessary, h r it is rlie. primitive science of a bucket on a pulley line go ing down a weil. The rope gins around several small wheels inidc the pulley, which materially cluck tin; run of flu rope, limiting it to ten feet in ten sec onds. The !! us" can't slip oil" the body. Tlie wheels mu-t go around as long as the Weight is thi'!", and. to quote th captain, "'Kick and holier as she will, she's lxiunct tn rniae down." VIi: case of being caught by the fire, captain, what is the best tiling to do: Put a wet blanket around yourself and run through it':" "Theoretically that is line," he an swered, "but n member that it take buckets of water to soak a blanket, and if there is not a bath tub near to accom plish this no few pi t 'hers are adequate. So next best is to wrap the head up in coat or anything woolen. This kit-pout the lire and not the air from the lung's, and the greater danger conies from the fonm r being inhaled. "Should tlie smoke commence to lil! the room and you want to crawl to an other part ot the building, drop on your hands and kne s and crawl a-1 close P the fi.Hir as possible, for the smoke got first to the top an 1 to the fi.H.r last, .-o that much time is secured. If all cscajio seems cut oT. put on woolen clothes, hold a piece of rlatmel over tho mouth and nose, stand at the most prominent window and call for help. A fireman will speedily come by ways you never thought of and deliver you." IL Hall mark in Chicago Record. Tlcioilcr lfcM-sti't Sour Milk. Science has -disproved the rural belief that thunder sours l dlk. It is now known that the souring results from a fungous growth, ami that this fungus is peculiarly fatal to nursing children. The old time rural belief was that tin concussion from thunder acted mechan ically upon the milk and first soured and then solidified it. The theory is a plaus ible one, easily derived from observing one set of facts without knowing the existence of others more important to tho situation. It haptiens that milk pours during or just after thunderstorms because the atmospheric conditions then prevailing are usually of a kind favor able to the rapid development of the fungous growth that sours milk.

"If the Mackinaw trout could bo fished fur with a lixht rod and tackle, as salmon arc," said a New Yorker who has tri.-d those kuhip Lake Michigan fish, "the title of the salmon as kiiiR of lame fish would fall at once. The Mack inaw trout is stronger than the salmon of greater average weight, equally tactful and as fierce a lighter as that (Joliath of fresh water fish, the muskel luuge. A lut with one of the tmut at the end of a hundred feet of line on a supple split liamlx rod would give the sturdiest salmon fisherman enough of hard and exciting work to satisfy him for tho day. Eighteen, 20 and even 25 pounders are by no means uncommon, and 3o jioundcrs excite 110 more than ordinary comment, "But the Mackinaw trout, like the salmon trout of the New York lakes, isn't built fur fine tackle, and if you want him you must work the tars of a boat faithfully and trail your whirling troll at the ond of 200 or 300 feet of heavy line in from all to 10O feet of wa ter. JSometimes tho fisherman ties his line to his leg as he rows his boat, but the uual style is to hold it in his mouth that is, if he is fishing for trout any where on the lake but Traverse bay. "Kiom time out of mind Mackinaw trout have lieen fished for in Lake Michigan with a slender, minnow shajHil troll, so made that it will whirl rapidly when drawn through the water and fastened to u staring white line as big around as a lead eiieil. A good many fishermen had held for years that this trolling line was a detriment t- fi.-hing, as it acted as a menace to thc trout, which are shy and wary, and that with a line less in evidence in the clear waters of the lake greater success would attend the sport of Mackinaw trout fishing. But 110 one seemed cour ageous enough to try any other kind of a line until a few years ago, when a citizen of Traverse City, who was not a li.-liiTiiiaii, made up his mind that he knew how more and bigger trout could be caught, and he went fishing one. day with a lino cojiju-r wire for his line in stead of the t .aring white twine of the fathers. This wire was absolutely in visible in the water, and when let out with the tmll carried no sus'iiciou to the Mackinaw trout's watchful eye. The result was that this citizen came ashore with a lmatload of the biggest Mackinaw trout any one had ever seen in one lot from Traverse bay. Since then the fish ermen in that part have al.iitil the copper w ire for a trolling line, but else where oil the lake the hidebound old sjiortsmeii stick to tradition and white twine. "There is no mistaking the strike of a Mackinaw trout tin the troll, and the instant he makes it all other busim-s mu.-t lie sulxii-rfiuated to that of gi-tting him safe into the !mat. In tho express ive and comprehensive parlance of tho Lake Michigan fishermen, 'You've got to kti p a Mackinaw trout a-goiu. ' It i no easy matter to kt-p a 15 or 20 xmil Mackinaw trout going, and the inex perienced ang! r will find that the first thing he know s the trout will lie "keep- in him a-goiu. If the big li.-h gets the least bit of slack line, he will turn ami dar-li away, sometimes actually pulling the lioat around, if not towing it. Once headed away from the fi.-hcrman, thi game and lusty fish rarely fails to break tlie hold of the liook. The angler who can keep his rout going as h hauls in the line hand over hand may get his prize alongside or within spearing or shooting ilistancV) in the eonre of 15 or 20 minutes. "Tin- Mackinaw trout fishermen never take the rik oven of gaffing a big trout. Indeed some cany revolvers of large calilH-r, and when the trout is hauled alongside the boat or within safe range they shoot it in the head and put the fight lieyond all question. Others sjiear their catches witli long handed, sharp tilled gigs," New York Sun. The Work of Iust. Dust has a very large share in nearly all the phenomena of the earth's atmos phere. It is what makes the clear sky appear blut, and when we look up into the sky we see the dust in the atmos phere illuminated by the sun. There is nothing else lmfore us that Can jiermit the light to reach the eye. Light gm-s invisible, htraight through all gases, whatever their chemical composition. The dust catches it, reflects it in every direction, aud so causes the whole at uiosphere to apjiear clear in the same way that it makes the smit-eam visible in the darkened room. Without du?-t there would bo no blue firmament. The sky would lo as dark as or darker than we see it in the finest moonless nights. The glowing disk of the sun would stand immediately upon this dark back ground, and the same sharp contrast would prevail ujioii the illuminated sur face of the eartli blinding light where the sun's rays fall and deep black shadows where they do not. Only the light of the moon and the stars, which would remain visilile in the daytime, would lie able to temper this contrast in a slight degree. The il lumination of the earth's surface would belike that we see with the felescotie on the lunar landscapes, for the 1110011 has no atmospheric envelope that can hold floating dust. We then owe to dust the even moderately tempered daylight, adapted now to our eyes, and it is that which contributes much to tho beauty of onr landscape scenery. Dr. P. Le nard in Popular Science Monthly. An Anecdote of Shelley. The poet Shelley tells an amusing story of the influence that language "hard to be understood" exercise s on the vulgar mind. Walking near Coven t Garden, London, he accidentally jostled against an Irish navvy, who, being in a quarrelsome mood, seeini-d inclined to attack the iniet, A crow d of ragged sym pathizers began to gather, when Shel ley, calmly facing them, deliberatelv prououneed: "I have put my hand into the ham per. I have looked on the sacred barley. I have eaten out of the drum. I have drunk and am well pleased. I have said 'Knox Ompax,' and it is finished." The effect was magical The aston ished Irishman fell back. His friends began to question him. "What bar ley?" "Where's the hamper?" "What have you been drinking?" and Shelley walked away unmolested. Junior. Klt ax a Krmetly. Common salt as a remedy for "brow ague," that distressing form of head ache, has lately been extolled by some physicians. The idea in increasing tho amount uf tho salt used with the food was that of augmenting the hydrochlo ric acid in the juice of the stomach at least considerable success is claimed for this remedy, which, however, it is needless to say, will not operate success fully in all case. By the way, sniffing a little finely powdered salt np the nos tril of the affected side has been found to cure the pain in neuralgia of the face. Family Mag:izine.
