TIMELY TOPICS. What l'eoplq Aro Tulking About Th Times. rtjTalT IS said a lamp mado oi matencs mat tor an instant will rival an electric light, was ro contly made by a lady In town. When you burn a wooien match you find that there re mains a little quantity of white ashes, which reddens with groat oasd if you bow on it. Fix somo of these ashos on the points of fo ir ordinary pins and attach them around an ordinary cork pfercod in tho centro by a bole. If you find any difficulty in making tho ashes stick to thn point of the pen, stick half a match oc each pen point, and then let ea h match burn down. Carefully place tho cork thus equipped on a littlo lamp filled with mineral oil, so that the wick of tbo lamp pisses through tho holo in the cork. Now ljght tho lamp and keep tho wick woll lowered, so that it gives an almost imperceptible bluo flame, and you will see tho ashes of tho matches, by In candeeonco, ttko on a magnificent blush, and for a moment the light will be almost as strong as that of tho ordinary eloctric lamp. Bo careful in tho handling of paper money. TUero is moro danger in it than many have an idea of. Some singular facts concerning tno dangor of infection by paper money have boon educed by a bacterio'OKical analysis of tho bank notes ot tne apaniau d-uik, ot Havana, in gen eral circulation. Attontion was drawn to tho subject by the fact that circulation in' creased tbo woight of the notes in cor so quance of their acquiring foreign matters, The examinations mado showod on the notes in use for soma time a considerable number of microbes, and on some notes as many as 10.000 microbes wero detected. Kigbt pathogenic species wero encountered including those of diphtheria and tubercu losis. Tho reeult of the examination was that a general warning was issued to tho public against tho active source of danger. The use of bank notes is at alt times at tended with a certain degree of riak, and especially in Havana, where childron havo the habit of carrying paper raonoy in their mouths and are thus very liable to swallow iho germ of some murtil disease. The Grand Army reunion at "Washing ton this month will bring face to face many old voterans, somo of them dis tinguished Genoralt wboso number is becoming smaller every year.

Speaking of tbo cholera tbo othor day the ubiquitous Max Keoto claimed that ho had tho genuine artinlu when he was seven years of age; that his grandfather with whom he lived, tho nurse and cook all died on account of the disease, Max's three unoles (all brothers of his father) came to this country In '40 and went with the groat hordo to the California gold diggings. All "struck It rioh" and became quito wealthy. They returned to Germany. Two of them spoculatod in stocks, became, bankrupt and died in this country. The third bought a handsome home in Ger many at u cost of over (100,000 and married a rich widow. He is Btill alive and lives like a lord. A few yoars ago Max's motbor died, ! loaving a nice for.uno behind for her childron, Max's portion being about ?0,000, One of his brothers has gone to the old country with powor of attorney to settle the estate and bring Max's fortune to this country. When this event ooeurs his friends aro to have a grand feast. Max comes from a good family- shrewd, sharp and intelligent. IIo is one of tbo read beit and most intelligent of hli class living. He was a promlnont applicant for a Consulship three years ago. Two of his brothers aro noted for their mind reading and have had remarkable success in this line, making money as easy as rolling off a log into tho water.

Fowler, of Town, Narates to His Numoroua Frlonda About HIb Recent Western Trip. OL. M. P, FOWLER, sinenhis return from Denver, Colorado, has a fund ol information from which his numerous friends draw amply during the evenings when tbo colonel's time is not otherwise taken up. IIo cays that while passing through Kansas ho saw noth ing but corn fields and an idea suggesting itselfheputitintouso. Ho pulled out his watch when the train was going at tbo rate of forty milos an hour through a field of corn and when the end of the. field was reached he figured tho longth as over twelve miles. V The accident that occurred in Iowa to tbo train upon which Mr. and Mrs. Fowler returned Kist furnisbod an illus tration of the imaginable injuries people suffer in such mishaps. One lady wont Into hydorics and when the husband found that tho company was ptying claims for damages bo asked for $1,000. Uu com promised on 8700. "Now," said Mr Fowler as he concluded the statemontot this case, "if I had had a different kind of a wifo I might have bsen $700 better off.' Among the passengers on tho train was a young physician who had not entered upon tbo praclico of his profession. He voluntcored assistance to the injured and expected no pay. In fact aftor the excite- mont had been allayed and the injurod wore placed in comfortable quarters ho replied "Nothing" when asked what be would charged for his services. Ho was given ?100. The Grangors havo mado Kansas, Iowa, and other Wostorn statos warm for railroad companies and every train carries an disbursing officers, whoseltlos all claims for damagos before suits can bo entered. The companies prefer this plan to monkoying with tbo laws the, baysoedors have mado and frequently settlo claims at fancy prices to avoid tuits. Thoso who think Col. Fowler poss'sscs a poor momory aro badly mistaken. He can go back many years and givo the year, day, hour and minute of evonts be wishes to talk upon; can say whether it rained or snowod on tho day, and givo thu lo;alion to tho perfection of tho sixteenth part of an inch. IIo vi hi speaking of handball tho other evening and bis mind revortod to an incidont in Tamaqua in tho '50's.

V Some time ago certain parties sailed upon tho nKUALU and furnished it with the facts of an assault and battery ca-o in which tho oOender was cbargod with having torn up the warrant tbo constable attempted to serve upon him, and with having drawn a revolver upon the constable.
