His Own Boss.
After a man has succeeded in grati
fying a long felt desire to be his own
boss he is likely to fìnd that he has
taken on a burden of responsibility
which mars the Joy over his success.—
Albany Journal.
Hard on the Proofreader.
Gettlng typographical errors out of
dlctlonaries is a task beside which
that little Augean stable affair of Her
cules was an afternoon snap.
When the Oxford edition of the Bible
was published the proofs were read
and reread ten times. Then a reward
of $250 was offered to any one whc
ahould flnd a typographical blunder.
One was found in the first chapter of
Genesis. Dictionary proofreadlng is
even more difficult than Bible proof
readlng.
There is a tradition that a man who
read proofs of the Lord's Prayer for
that Oxford edition went insane out of
fear lest he made a blunder in it.—
Philadelphia Ledcrer.
No Pity There.
Undutlful boys may see themselves
fccld up as beforc a mirror in the fol
lowing anecdote: A youug Irish girl
in givlng testimony in a court of jus
tice, when asked some questions in
reference to the prisoner, replied, "Ar
rah, sir, I'm sure he never made his
mother smile." There is a biography
of unkindness in that simple sentence.

If he is smoking the range may be in

more than four hours after he had

Glass Solvent.
Hydrofluoric acid is an acid com
pound of hydrogen and fluorine. • It
may be prepared by the action of sul
phuric acid upon cryolite in an ap
propriate apparatus made of lead or
platinum. It may thus be readily ob
tained in a liquid form and is color
less. Its vapors are exceedingly poi
sonous, and the liquid itself. even
when mixed with more or less water,
causes severe swellings on the skin.
Great care must therefore be taken in
working with this acid. Hydrofluoric
acid dissolves glass, forming hydro
fluosilicic acid with its silica; hence
its use for making etchings on glass.—
Ex^hanfire.

"Of course you consented to that?"
"Yes, and she poured it out of the

Talking Machines.
As nearly as can be determined the
originai talking machine—the real pre
cursor of the pbonograph—was the so
called "phonautograph." invented by
Leon Scott in 1557. But the first real
reproduction of sound -was achieved by
Thomas A. Edison in 1871 ». He may,
with perfect justice, be called the "fa
ther of the talking machine."—New
York American.

Cats' Eyes.
As showing how widely the perma
