Xnmethlnir New In Tool.
A cricket club of Englishmen in
Valparaiso, Chili, sent to England for
a large consignment of bats and a
few stumps. On arrival they were

it occurred to the captain, who had
had a good deal of experience in cus

were allowed to enter free of duty.
This was done and it was pointed

We shall never forget oue aw f ul day,
just before a heavy thunderstorm,
when we attempted to work a uiarsh,
but found it quite impossible to go
more than 20 yards without resting.
k veil is a great handicap in shooting,
ind we found it exceedingly difficult
to judge distance at all accurately. As
to trying to watch birds in this couu
try it was impossib.e to do so for any
length of time. Directly one stopped,
such a cloud of mosquitoes gathered
round one's head that after a short
time the bird could not be seen through
the binoculars owing to the dense
swarm of mosquitoes which quickly
gathered in front of the glass, relates
a writer in Knowledge.
The only times in which we were
able to discard our veils wns after we
had beaten the mosquitoes out of the
tent and fixed tbe curtain over the
doorway, and when after rowing hard
for an hour or so on a lake we left
the mosquitoes behind. At one place,
however, we met. a tiny black fly in
such myriads thnt it became a far
worse pest than the mosquitoe. This
fly was so small that no ordinary net
ting would keep it out, and it crept
into our hair ami ears and bit so hard
and unpleasantly thnt to escape going
mad we were forced to pack up our
things and run away from the place.

HAND KISSING LEAGUE.

Some lViiibiuin exquisites of Imth
sexes have jiint formed the "lund
kissing leagu-.." Men belonging t it
vow never to shake, or even squeeze,
n woman's hand. In lieu of that form
of salute they imprint u light kistt on
her fingers or her wrist. Women be
longing to the league bind themselves
to cut any man refusing to discard
whut our neighbors call "le shakei
hnnd" in favor of the dainty and
daintily named "le baise-iiiain."
The new nsssocint ion, reports a Ixin-
don paper, is framing a code of hand
kissing. This will define various
forms of "baisy-main," and will
specify under what particular circum
FstnnceH each i to be employed. It is
already decided that the slight touch
ing of the tips of two fingers of n
feminine hand by a man's lips is the
most frigid form of the greeting.
while the kins on the wrist is a privi
lege of intimacy.
Intermediate usages nre the oscnln-
tory salute on the knuckles, on the
back, and on the palm of the hand.
The last nntred form, vhlch is some
what of an innovation, obviously re
quires the exercise of dexterity by
the lady if she does not wnnt to look

A New York bootblack painfully real
l.es that there is u, difference, al
though perhaps be cannot explain it
in logical argument and elegant
phrase, savs the Itochester Democrat
and Chronicle. Last year, having laid
by a few hundred dollars, he played
the races and won $40,000. This year
he tried the mine game and lost all
his winnings, as well as his original
capital. I'.ciiig not altogether friend
less, he managed to borrow enough
money to buy a new bootblacking out
fit, and is now industriously shining
footwear unci gathering in nickels
nnd dimes. If he keeps at it he will
soon be out of debt, and again become
a modest depositor in some good sav
ings bank, lie has had his experience,
and it was rather harsh, but it may
do him good. Let him renounce Na
poleonic ambitions, stick to hi busi
ness and save his money. The races
are treacherous tilings for those who
play them, and the. rocket-nnd-stick
performance is less productive of hap
piness than that steuiiy thrift which
is sure, even if slow, ns a promoter of

HOTEL FOR WOMEN ONLY.

Under the auspices of the San Fran
cisco Girls' union a hotel exclusively
lor women has been erected and the
members of tin; organization are con
grutuluting themselves upon their
new possession. The union has been
in existence since 1884 and was
formed for the purpose of aiding
self-dependent, self-respecting girls
to live in nice surroundings at a cost
in accordance with their means. The
society has had a house for some
time, but it is not to be compared
with the new hotel. 1 he home is self
supporting and an uverage of 40
wage-earning wiuuen cull it home.
In the hotel SO rooms are to be rent
ed, the price per month ranging from
four dollars to six dollars. The board
Is $12 per month. The rooms are well
furnished anil commodious and each
has a stationary wnshstnnd. The
house is exceedingly well planned und
provision bus been made for class
rooms, as the union proposes to con
duct classes in literature, music, Rew
lug, typewriting and other subjects,

MECHANICAL STOKING.
Lahar amlae" Machinery Taking- the
Plaee of Maajr Men In Sboua
and Foundries.
The small number of men to be seen
m a modern large machine works or
steel mill, as compared with uu old
time shop of similar importance, is a
matter which has been a frequent
occasion for comment, und thi is
doubtless due to the very general use
of labor-saving machinery, says the
Engineering Magazine. The cost of
production In industrial establish
ments is made up of the costs of raw
material, wages, toolage, taxes and in
terest, of which the large t single item
usually is the wages cost. One way by
which this item may be reduced is by
tbe installment of mechanical stokers.
In the great majority of steam plants
the coal is wheeled to the boiler room
by hand, it is fired by hand, and the
ashes are removed by hand, making,
in plants of 2,000 boiler horse-power
or over, a wage cost of some consid
erable amount.
The mechanical stoker may be de
fined as a system of great bars, dump
ing bars, coal feeders and automatic
devices to feed fuel aniv,u,.'rol its
combustion, and subsequently to drop
the ashes and unhurnt coal. That it
is not in any sense a new invention
is to be learned from the fact that
James Watt took out a iintent in t78,
for such a device. The mechanical
stoker Is of Knglish origin, though it
has been very thoroughly developed in
the- I'nited States to suit the local fuels
and boiler fiirnnceconditions.

"Why ia it," asked a man of a phy

and have to be operated upon, when
there was formerly nothing of the kind
in existence?" according to the Chi

"My young friend," Ihe doctor an

that story of his losing a rib may have
arisen because he was operated upon
for appendicitis. When your grand
father was a boy his neighbors had it
all around him, and so they did w beu
you were a boy. But they called it
inflammation of the bowels, stomach
ache, acute indigestion, liver trouble
or something of that sort. The pn

ever opened him when living to see
what the matter was. Perhaps it is
as well that they did not, for much of
